KE-SHIN, " THE DREADED HOUR." IF there be anything in a name, that of Ke - shin , the Chi nese Commissioner nominated to meet Elliott at. Canton, is, in its Chinese definition, given above, ominous of sad results. Our previous knowledge of Ke-shin'al opinion of the best " MODE OF MANAGING THE ENGLISH," gives us reason to " dread the hour" when be shall sit in judgment upon English commerce. Ke-skim in a memorial i addressed to the Emperor in December, 38, recommends him to `' put an entire stop to all foreign tercourse for ten years, when," he says, " the English v;il a y gold and silver for Tea and Rhubarb." " The Foreigners, says Ke-shin, " subsist day by day upon beef and mutton, and every day, after meals, they take this DIVINE MEDICINE (i. e. Tea and Rhubarb), in order to get a motion in their bowels!' This is the advice of Ke-shin, the most influential minister at the Court of Pekin, and now appointed Fxaminer of the English. Our unsuspicious Admiral, all-powerful whilst relying upon his carronades, has been cajoled by the wily Ke-shin into exchanging them for a goose-quill, and is to meet him, not on his proper element, but in Ke-shin's own city, Canton. CAPT. PIDDING's predictions have been verified to the letter. No part of the £3,000,000 is paid, or even promised. Instead of our demands being granted, the inquiry into them was not begun—the Court, at which, Ke shin of ten years' tea-stopping celebrity is to preside, was not even formed. All, therefore, whether content with Fo kein Bohea or patrons of Captain Pidding's Teas, will act prudently in laying in a good stock ; for if Ke-shin acts as he advised the Emperor, tea will treble itself. The public — the best judges of all that concerns the palate or the pocket —having purchased above a million cattles of CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS, is sufficient proof of their superior quality ' • but besides being used at the Palace, CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS are the only kind admitted at the table of fashion, while the frugal find that their strength renders them the most economical. Be particular in askieg for CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEA, and observe that all pack ages have the signature of " CAPT. JOHN RHODES PIDDING." The present reduced price of Captain Pidding's Howqua's Mixture, Black Tea, is 6s. 4d. per lb., being Bs. 6d. the catty package •, and for Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder Tea, is 9s. per lb., being 12s. the catty package, half and quarter catties in proportion.

FO REIGN INTELLIGENCE, UNITED STATES We have elsewhere noticed the cause of the detention of the steam-ship Britannia from Halifax and Boston, on ac• count of which considerable anxiety was beginning to be felt by the public. The following is the intelligence which she brings :-- The advices are from New York to the 21st ult., Boston 22d, and Halifax 29th. The New York papers are filled with details and reports of the proceedings before the Supreme Courts in the case of M`Leod. The arguments commenced on Monday the 17th ult. and were continued on the two fol lowing 'days. They were not concluded on the 20th when the court rose, nor were they likely to be finally settled for some days. Mr. Hall, the district attorney, placed the case - ' before the court.iind proceeded to substantiate his allegations against the prisoner at great length, going entirely and at large into the history of the seizure of the Caroline. Mr. Spencer, IVl'Leod's advocate, claimed his discharge on the ground that the act was a public act; the British government having taken upon themselves the responsibility thereof. Mr. Ilan, after citing the authorities in reference to the in admissibility of relief by habeas corpus, entered into the merits of the principal question. He said that murder had confessedly been committed, and that as the government of the United States wished the matter to be tried before the States Courts, the demand of Great Britain in the case of an illegal act committed by her subjects could have no effect. He said England had imprisoned and sentenced Americans taken on the disputed territory and he called upon the go vernment to recognise a precedent which, he said, England could not with decency dispute. Mr. Spencer spoke very energetically in reply respecting the positions of the two na tions, and called on the court to interpose their discretionary power to prevent the occurrence of events which might occa sion free trade with England. To a question from the court, whether the release of M'Leod was desired on account of the pending negotiations with Great Britain, he replied that he was not authorised to speak in behalf of the general govern ment, but that the court must exercise their own discretion. Among the documents submitted to the court was a note from Mr. Fox to Mr. Webster, dated March 12,1841, stating that her Majesty's government had the case under considera tion, and he (Mr. Fox) was directed to make known to the government of the United States that the British government entirely approved of the course pursued by him. He (Mr. Fox) was instructed to demand formally, and in the name of the British government, the immediate release of Alexander M`Leod, for the reason that the transaction was of a public character, planned and executed by persons duly authorised by the Colonial government, and being an act of public duty, those persons could not be held responsible to the laws and tribunals of any foreizn country. _ _ „ _ , The Halifax Morning Herald of the 28th ultimo says, " It is admitted now, that, even supposing M`Leod be found guilty, he cannot be punished, as the British government take on themselves the responsibility of the attack on the Caroline." Mr. Seward, the Governor of the State of New York, had sent to the House of Assembly a communication transmitting, in answer to Mr. Swack Swackham's resolutions, copies of all the correspondence which had taken place between the Executive Department of the State and the Executive Au thorities of the United States, concerning Alexander M`Leod. The communication states that no arrangement of any kind or for any purpose had been entered into by that department with the Executive of the United States concerning that in dividual ; that the department had no knowledge of the proceedings taken in this case, the writ of habeas corpus not having been sued out by himself until he arrived in Albany on his way to New York : that the Attorney-General was thereupon immediately instructed to resist the motion for the discharge of the prisoner, and at the same time the Presi dent of the United States was respectfully informed that the appearance of the District Attorney of the United States as counsel for the prisoner was deemed incongruous with his duties and injurious to the State of New York. The assembly is assured that under no circumstances will any arrangement or proceeding be entered into or permitted with the consent of the executive department, the effect of which might be to compromise, in the least degree, the rights, honour, or dignity of the State. The rate of Exchange on England at New York on the 20th ult. was 74 to 71. United States Bank Shares were selling at 48 1 . An adjourned meeting of the shareholders in the bank had been held. Another long report had been read, the chief object of which was to justify the statements in the previous report, the accuracy of which had been impugned. The meeting was exceedingly stormy, and it at length ad journed without having done any business of importance. The advices from Mexico state, that General Samana, at the head of 15,000 men. had advanced within forty miles of Vera Cruz. A united force of Texians and Campeachians had taken the fort and bar of Tampico. Trade was dull at Vera Cruz. UNIVE,RSITY TEL (From the Oxford Herald.) OXFORD.

LONDON COMMERCIAL REPORT WEDNESDAY EVENING.—There was no activity in Aa oarkets to-day, and there did not appear to be any tendency g rally from yesterday's depression in prices.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS LO.NDON (CITY OP).—The liberals seem very badly off for candidates. As both Messrs. Grote and Pattison retire, there only remain in the field Sir M. Wood and Mr. Craw ford. Lord John Russell will not, we think, consent to expose himself to the risk of a disgraceful defeat (what in terest in the city would the noble lord represent ?) ; and at least three of the conservative candidates will be returned. with Sir M. Wood on the liberal side. Mr. Crawford has very little chance of again misrepresenting the electors of London. MARYLZBONE.—Mr. G. A. Young has challenged Com modore Napier to submit their conflicting claims to a public meeting of liberal electors, and offer to withdraw if a ma jority of the meeting should think the gallant commodore the more eligible candidate. To this mode of adjusting the dispute the commodore demurs, on the ground that it would be impossible to exclude non-electors and tories from a pub lic meeting. Irswicx.—Rigby Wason, Esq., has again come forwrrd as a candidate for the suffrages of the whig-radical clique at Ipswich ; his address is a free-trade one. BARNSTAPLE.—It is now stated that a second conserva tive candidate will be started with Mr. Hodgson. BEWDLEY AND STOURPORT.—Sir Thomas Winnington, the radical member, will assuredly be supplanted by Mr. Robert Monteith. The latter gentleman has offered himself as an independent conservative. BIRMINGHAM.—The question no longer remains pro blematical, whether or not the borough shall be contested by the conservatives at the approaching election. A large meet ing was held on the subject on Monday night, and a still larger was held on Tuesday morning, when it was resolved that two candidates should be brought forward. There is every probability that Mr. Richard Spooner and either Mr. James Taylor or Mr. Alston, will be the parties. BRECKNOCKSHIRE.--There is no doubt of a strong oppo sition against Colonel Woedin the ensuing election in Breck nockshire, and we therefore hope that gentleman and his friends will be on the alert to prevent an addition to the "no corn-law" members. BRIGHTON.—Sir Adolphus Dalrymple arrived here, and issued an address to the electors, stating that as his princi ples were so well known, he need not repeat them, but should immediately proceed to pay his respects personally to his friends, when he hoped to meet with their support. Captain Pechell has also issued an address. CARNARVON.—Lord George t'aget has addressed the electors in the liberal interest, in opposition to Mr. B. Hughes. DURHAM (SOUTH).—Mr. Pease positively retires. GATESHEAD.—Mr. Hutt, M.P. for Hull, intends, it is understood, to start for the borough of Gateshead at the en suing election. The chartists, however, it is said, are de termined to oppose him might and main. HUDDERSFIELD.—The electors here are perfectly tired of their sham representative, Mr. Stansfield, whose conduct, or rather no• conduct in Parliament, has thoroughly disgusted them, and justified his nick-name of " old woman." They are looking out for somebody else, and we understand that by the advice of their old friend Mr. Oastler, who was de feated at the last election only by a majority of 21, it is in contemplation to send to Sir George Sinclair a requisition to stand for this borough. There could not be IR any point of view a better'choice, as, independently of his general politics and unquestioned talents, Sir George has completely identi fied himself with the opposition to the diabolical code of the new poor-law, which is so decidedly and deservedly unpopu lar in Huddersfield. The public, and especially the constituency of Newark, will be proud to learn that that accomplished scholar and distinguished young nobleman, Lord John Manners, the se cond son of the Duke of Rutland, will stand as a candidate for that ancient and fortunate borough, along with his friend Mr. W. E. Gladstone, the present able and excellent mem ber. There is no doubt of the success of both ; indeed, it is understood that Mr. Solicitor-General Wilde will not ven ture upon a contest.—London Courier. KIDDERMINSTER.—Mr. Godson, the present member for this town, has made his appearance amongst his constitu ents, and has been most cordially received. There is not the least doubt of his return. The Earl of March, eldest son of the Duke of Richmond, is in the field for West Sussex—as an out-and-out eonserva live. It is believed that his father will take office under Peel. The son's declaration, in his electioneerfng address, that " he" can repose no confidence in her Majesty's pre sent government, is supposed to express the father's opinion. YORKSHIRE.—In the North and East Ridings of the great County of York, the present members will, in all probability, be returned without opposition. In the West Riding there will be a severe contest, the independent electors being in disposed to accept Lord Fitzwilliam's two nominees, namely, his own son, Lord Milton, and Lord Morpeth. The con servatives have called into the field the Hon. John Stuart Wortley, and Mr. Beckett Denison, of Doncaster, and such is the improved character of the register, and such the spirit of the electors, that there is every reasonable prospect that these two highly eligible gentlemen will be triumphantly re- turned. - - PETERBOROUGH. — Mr. Thomas Gladstone, late M.P. for Leicester, and brother to the members for Newark and Wel. sail, will stand for this borough, with every prospect of sue• cese. The whig candidates are expected to be George Fitz william and Sir Robert Heron. On Wednesday morning the following frightful gig accident occurred in the New-road, St. Marylebone, London. A horse, in harness, having part of the body of a gig and the shafts attached, came galloping along the New-road, towards Marylebone, at a furious rate, from the direction of Battle bridge. At the corner of Cleveland-street, New-road, he turned suddenly down that street, at the moment a Mrs. Ann Bennett (the wife of a police constable), accompanied by her father, turned into the street from Cirencester-place, and the shaft, striking her on the side of the head, fractured her skull in so shocking a manner that no hopes are enter tained for her recovery. Her father has also received serious injuries: The horse afterwards turned again into the New road, and, in his progress, three other persons received dreadful injuries, and were removed to St. Marylebone In firmary. The animal was secured near the Yorkshire Stingo. It was unknown who it belonged to, or where it came from. BIRMINGHAM. —According to a calculation in the Mid land Counties Herald, the population of this town, as ap pears from the returns for the present census. now amounts to considerably above 180,000 inhabitants. We desire to see perfect free trade between Great Britain and Ireland ; be tween Somersetshire and Middlesex ; between Kildare and Dublin ; but we not only do not desire, but protest against, equal competition in our markets between the independent British sr Irish farmer, and the corn-growing serf of Li thuania or Moldavia. We do not desire equal competition between the free black of Jamaica, whom we have been at such pains and cost to make free, and in whose prosperity as a fellow-subject we have a direct interest, and the slave black of the Brazils, in whom we have no immediate interest what ever : and we do not desire equal competition between the Canadian timber-cutter, whose clearances are in fact so much added to the capital of the state, and who would not carry on his improvements without our market for his lumber, and the Norwegian or Prussian landowner, who, though he might supply us with better timber, would not invest the proceeds in permanent improvements on the British soil.—Dublin Evening Mail. LATEST POLITICAL CHANGES.—Many and important are every day taking place in the political world. To some we may openly refer . others are as yet not in a state to be publicly announced. The Duke of Richmond has declared positively against the government. His grace has placed his proxy in the hand of the conservative Lord Ripon. The Marquis of Wellesley has withdrawn his proxy from the whig peer that had previously held it, and handed it over to the Duke of Wellington. The Duke of Roxburghe has encouraged his tenants to petition against the government plan, and has desired his proxy not to be used in favour of the govern ment as heretofore. Lord Carrington has declared against the government, and has sent his own lawyer as a con servative candidate for the future representative of High Wycomb ! The Earl of llchester only waits to resign his situation under the government, and to declare against them in consequence of the request of Lord Melbourne, who said to Lord Ilchester, " Pray withhold your resignation. We shall all go out together shortly !" Such are some of the changes which have come to our knowledge, and which we are able to communicate with confidence. To this we may add what we know to have been said by Earl Grey to a friend of his lordship's at the Queen's ball, to the effect that he had seen many wonderful things in his political life, but none so extraordinary and unjustifiable as' the conduct of her Majesty's present ministers.—Northampton Herald. MSCOMFITURE Of MR. Ross IN BELFAST.—With the e aB x sn c .d ep at t tmh i ici o laule n tad: , perhaps, of Dr. Cooke's challenge to Mr. O'Con nell, nothing has been done for the conservative cause of so dashing or effectual a character as the bold and decisive proceeding of Mr. Emmerson Tennent, to which we have the pleasure, this day, of requesting our readers' attention. The facts are simply these :—Mr. Tennent, being tied to his parliamentary duties in Loudon, Mr. D. R. Ross styling himself of Rosstrevor, went down to Belfast, to canvass Mr. Tennent's constituency, on the ministerial interest; and, Belfast being so peculiarly a commercial and manufacturing town, sought to recommend himself, as might naturally be e otdi x fut p yr e inon c o t f:a e nst il sch.e , oaenLur b smloed y r frequent harangues, on the injustice of the present corn-law, and the expediency of the changes pro posed by ministers. We don't at all find fault with Mr. Ross for making the most of his opportunities, " while the cat was away," any more than reasonable persons will with Mr. Tennent, for pouncing upon Mr. Ross, as he has done, on his return. He did his best ; and certainly, timedisnn watert hco reason he tdaa was hsre oiewenma i n e hoa theatnr st a fi oae an e esf dl asked backs, and d, G p aroon o . srduf Tennent'sor a e ersx d d;l as eawcr gthgeeor expected. a. great t e a nTt quan tity amountatnhme constitu encymthaenreufacturers he promised a cheap loaf, so as to enable dependingthem twt it,ee e erao r tnN shuti hageo h ihauenmt would as Ista w ctet bea a e rrugr loafese aes s a dt . s as tse T etagl osetah regarded odo h l arde e hsd ne a el t g ooal h r not oi differencegw c s t. ueehl lowered A u dh r l anofs s dos t pra s rrfitoia a hndna n out tedspiceel prices, h dwt:h o ehi ta s st oo e t: consumed s still the artisans he represented that low wages were not by any means to follow on cheap provisions, so that, though the manufacturer was to be benefitted by the reduction in the price of food, it was not to be at their expense. Consequently, if his representations to the manufacturers were true, his as surances to the agriculturists and labouring artisans were de ceptive. if his representations to the agriculturists were true, his assurances to the manufacturers and artizans were deceptive. And if his representations to the labouring arti sans were true, his assurances to the manufacturers and agri culturists were deceptive. But, as there was nobody on the spot to confront him, and expose these discrepancies to his hearers, he managed, according to the class he had to address, to carry on a flourishing thimble-rig—commerce, agriculture, and labour being the three thimbles under each of which in succession the pea of promised profit turned up at th e ca ll o f the admiring bystanders.

TO CORRESPONDENTS The advertisement to which a correspondent kindly calls our attention, was forwarded for insertion in the Standard several days since, but there was too much indecency on the face of it to admit of its appearance in our columns. We are sorry our contemporaries are not equally careful, especially as the character of the advertiser is sufficiently notorious. Favourer of anti-corn law—is a blockhead—he should go to the corporation schools for a few weeks, to learn writing, spelling, and—manners. There is too much tautology in the letter of E. T. We believe that it was the intention of one or more of the leading conservative peers in the House of Lords, last night, to reinforce the sentence of the lower house in con demnation► of the government. No formal resolution will, in all probability, be passed, but some sufficiently indica tive notice will no doubt be taken of the recent unconsti tutional proceedings of the ministry. We shall give the debate in an early second edition, if the evening papers contain it. M. A. H.—The regular banking days are the first Friday in every month—deposits are received every Saturday from twelve to one o'clock. Ebt Etbrrpool otanbarb. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1841 Ministers—condemned by the House of Commons — refuse to acquiesce in that sentence, and purpose en tering an appeal to the people. The question then for the people will be, was the sentence of the House of Commons a just, or was it an unjust one, and should t be affirmed or reversed ? The House of Commons has said that ministers are inworthy of their confidence ; will the electors of the cingdom say they are worthy of theirs? That is the luestion to be solved' at the approaching general elec ion. It is a general and comprehensive one, depend ng upon no one isolated fact or circumstance, but ipon that aggregate of particulars by which in general we determine whether men are worthy of our confi dence or not. People may say that ministers are free traders, Irish-franchise-enlargers, liberals, or whatever else, according with their Own peculiar " class" or political feelings it may please them ; but we say that the issue really put to the country is, whether the mi nisters, whom a House of Commons of their own choosing has condemned, are, upon the whole, worthy of the national CONFIDENCE, or otherwise? A gentleman connected with the factories might say, " I care not what they are, generally speaking ; all I know is that they are pledged against the corn-laws, and that's enough for me." We know how impracti cable such men are ; yet we would venture to put it even to such an one, whether the pliability of ministers upon a single point ought to justify him, or could do so, in giving them his confidence ? They might he the most sweeping reformers with regard to our commer cial tariff; but would they, for that reason, and upon that account alone, be entitled to any man's CONFI DENCE ? Macbeth applauds one of his hired tools when he brings him word that he had executed his commands touching Banquo. "My lord," says the messenger, " his throat is cut ; that I did for him." Macbeth, delighted with his promptitude and fidelity, exclaims, " Thou art . the best of cut-throats ;" but should we argue from this, that the employer would place confidence generally in such a person ? Of course not; and therefore, upon the same principle, we would expect that an honest but mistaken repealer of our corn-laws, if it were put solemnly to his conscience, whether ministers (though willing to subserve his views on this point) were deserving or not of his " con fidence," would answer the question in the negative. For our part, we cannot conceive how any man, no matter what his creed or politics, could sincerely and gravely declare, that the rejected and condemned of the present House of Commons are men in whom he could confide. We know of no one reason for confid ing in them ; we are familiar with a number past counting for distrusting them. We will just briefly advert to one—doubtless a very principal one—for the present. Lord Stanley, in his admirable speech of Friday referring to the ministerial defeat on the sugar duties, said,— " Was it the first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, or even the sixth defeat which the Government had sustained on most important questions? Hon. gentlemen opposite had talked much of the tranquillity and freedom of Jamaica. He (Lord S.) would tell them that if Jamaica was prosperous and contented, it was because the Government were overruled—(hear.) He would tell them that if the church in this country, and especially in Ireland, was in the enjoyment of legislative influence, it was because they could not carry the measures which they desired—(continued cheers.) He would tell them that if the national system of education introduced into this country was not altogether disconnected with any one form of religion, it was because the Government could not carry the measures which they in troduced—(cheers.)" It will be seen that his lordship here prefers a charge against the government to the effect that if their power were equal to their inclination, the established church, and all the influences depending upon it, would be an nihilated. Could there he a more serious charge in the contemplation of any man professing conservative principles ? Now, although a great number and va riety of circumstances may enter into the formation of that complex idea which we call "confidence," it is perfectly certain that a single one may destroy it. De tect an individual in whom you have been long induced to place trust in a single act of theft, and in a moment the confidence of years is dissipated. A single misad venture of this nature cancels all former reliances. So, we say, that this charge of Lord Stanley's, susceptible as we believe it to be of the clearest proof, is sufficient, in itself, to deprive ministers of all confidence from the conservative party; nay, we will add, from all that is respectable, enlightened, and trustworthy itself in the kingdom. We may differ on questions of trade and finance; these are comparatively minor matters ; but when we come to differ as to whether our church is to be sup ported—whether church influences are to be main tained—we are approaching the great arteries--the vital functions—nay the very heart itself of our social system—and the matter grows serious. If Lord Stanley's charge be true, our Whig minis ters are deserving not of our confidence, but of our utter detestation ; and they are men not to be left where they are, but to be removed to the farthest pos sible point from that situation. They are men to be driven out with every mark of disgrace —men to be abhorred of all good subjects. Are they then, we re peat, what Lord Stanley says they are ? It is an old, but a safe rule, that a man may be known by the company he keeps. We believe in the truth of Lord Stanley's charge for this amongst other reasons, that we observe that the intimate associates, boon com panions, confidants, and champions of ministers are notorious church-destroyers—papists , levellers, and "pious dissenters" of the Joe Hume complexion. Those respectable partici have caught them in a noose ; they keep the rope round their neck ; and, having frequently ascertained that they are squeezable, and that much may he got by squeezing them, they drive them like a chain-gang whichever way they please, and put them to every mean and villanous work. Now to leave the government of the country in such hands would be dangerous and disgraceful. We can not expect our affairs to prosper while they are admi nister2d by such parties. Nothing can go well with us under such persons. They have no views in com mon with those who love their country and its consti tution ; their aim is to destroy that which is most va luable in our eyes. Well, an opportunity will soon be afforded us of removing them ; and how deeply la mentable—how replete with evil omen—must it be, if we fail to make use of it ! The Protestantism—the religious principle, let us say—of the nation is about to be put to a stupendous trial ; the issue is of the most momentous character. We are to choose be tween Papists, Infidels, and Church destroyers—men in every way of damaged reputation—as imbecile and incapable as they are mean and malicious; and men of unsullied fame, of proved talent, of great private as well as public worth, and men who are as desirous to uphold all our venerated institutions as the others are to destroy them. We contemplate the ordeal through which the nation is about to pass with feelings of the deepest anxiety. It is a subject replete with the most profound and interesting speculation; we need not say to what result our most ardent hopes are directed. We believe that the Radicals of this town are at present in a most delectable state of confusion and uncertainty. It is well known that a number of the more respectable portion of the party are extremely annoyed at the aspiring notions of their quondam friend Sir Joshua Walmsley, and we are informed that several hole-and-corner meetings have taken place within the last few days, when much indignation was expressed at the worthy knight's presumption, and a unanimous resolution was come to that he should be requested to withdraw his claims for the representation of the borough. Although we have not heard the reply of Sir Joshua, we may anticipate, with some degree of confidence, that he will disregard the inter ference of these meddlers with the objects of his am bition, and magnanimously resolve to come forward to contest the coming election for his native town, in order that when he is gloriously defeated, he may then become a joint in the O'Connell tail, as member for some borough where the influence of that notorious personage is omnipotent. Just as we were going to press, we received a copy of Sir Joshua's address, which will be found in its proper place. It is as vague and meagre as the most indefinite production which was ever placed in the hands of Her Most Gracious Majesty to deliver before her assembled Parliament, and dignified by the name of the Queen's Speech. The public has little notion how severe is the tax laid upon the feelings of us editors of newspapers by a faithful discharge of our duties. Our sensibilities are at everybody's command, and it is not enough that we must deeply and entirely sympathise with every possible variety of human condition, and sound what ever stop the ever-varying state of man may call upon us to do, but it is expected that we shall readily make the most sudden and violent transitions. Who can be wise, amaz'd, temperate and furious, Loyal and neutral, in a moment ? No man. That is what Shakspeare says; but there were no newspapers in those days, or the impossibility of such a state of things would not by any means have been assumed. We gentlemen of the press are obliged to be all this, and more, every day in the year. At one moment we are all happiness and smiles, diffusing sunshine and joy with every dash of our pen ; at the next we are depressed beyond measure, deeply afflict ed, and inconsolable. We are a sort of Allolian harp, and obliged to sound as the wind plays upon us, per petually at the mercy of every piece of good or evil tidings for our happiness or misery; and as the harp literal which refused to sound would be thrown away as worthless, so should we (who may be called the harp literary) incur a similar fate, if we gave no re sponse to the demand of the moment, whatever it might be. It is not much for us to admit that we felt ourselves ;lied in this way yesterday, when, on walking through he town, we observed a placard on the walls, corn- mencing thus : "Another Liberal candidate! Electors of Liverpool, do not pledge yourselves." Had the announcement stopped there, the intelli. Bence would have been rather of a pleasing kind " Another" Liberal candidate ! Well, we should have said, that is good news for the Liberals ; their cause, it seems, is not at such a discount ; they can get can didates, after all. Poor devils ! we really are glad that there is a bidding for them. But the opening of the next sentence dashed all our hopes, and cast us down :0 zero " Lord Palmerston having declined" ! ! !- Ah ! said we, there is " want of confidence" indeed ! This is just Sir Robert Peel's doing. That untoward motion of his has spoiled all our sport. Not one of them will have " confidence" now to face the electors of Liverpool, and Sir Joshua Walmsley will be left alone in his glory ! Sad, sad is the state of the Libe ral cause in this borough ! Here were we, then, it will be allowed, fully in our state of professional exercise under the operation of contrary emotions—glad at one moment because the Liberals had got " another" Liberal candidate, and sorry the next because they had lost so staunch an one as Lord Palmerston. The melancholy intelligence of his lordship's declinature affected us so much that we were some time before we could read further. At length, on regaining our composure, we read the re mainder. It stood thus : " Lord Palmerston having declined offering himself for the representation of the town of Liverpool, a re quisition is about to be got up requesting our high talented townsman, Thomas Smith, Esq., to consent to be put in nomination in connection with the people's friend, Sir Joshua Wahnsley. " Committee-room, June 8." Well, here again was something to revive us. Lord Palmerston declines ; true, but Tom Smith does not ! Lord Palmerston is our Foreign Secretary ; true, but Tom Smith is our " high-talented townsman" ! The foreign lord is an alien to our habits and feelings; nought does he know of our aristocracy either of the counting-house or the counter. The real lord will not come ; then said we, " Go," thou " tenth transmitter of a foolish - fae " Go ! if your ancient but ignoble blood Has crept through scoundrels ever since the flood, Go ! and make way for a better man ! Tom Smith, come forth ! Here is a man that we all know—a " lord" such as nature made, When wild in woods the noble savage ran, with a name at once familiar and monosyllabic. We will not anticipate the possibility of " Tom Smith" re fusing the application that will be made to him to stand for the representation of Liverpool. We will not allow ourselves even to imagine such a contin gency, but shall rather look shortly for the insertion of his address in our incomparable journal. Amongst other- reasons for congratulation on the prospect of a change of Ministry, not the least is, that our excellent representative, Cresswell Cresswell, Esq., will, in a short time, come into that office for which his talents so well qualify him, viz., Solicitor-General. The appointment will materially increase his influence with Government, and also enable him to fulfil his duties to his constituents, if possible, even better than at present, as that office obliges him to be always in his place in Parliament. This intelligence is furnished to us by a gentleman on whose information we can rely, and we put it forward with the greatest confidence. We experience much gratification in directing the attention of our readers to the several addresses of Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell, which appear in our advertising columns. The electors of Liverpool have every reason to be well pleased with their representa tives, and we believe that in point of fact they are per fectly so. They pave had ample means of judging of their character and efficiency, and a single complaint, so far as we are aware, has never been uttered against either, except by those who differ from them in poli tics, and from whom, therefore, any exception, being confined merely to political groin de, cannot be ra• garded ac detraction. The declaration of opinions now made by both, will, we think, fully meet the witlhes of the great body of the electors. It is such as we should expect from them. Their opinions are identical, and they are the opinions, ' or at least they ought to be, of every English senator, and gentleman, and under the latter term, we of course include every elector of right principles. On the sub ject of the corn laws and free trade, their avowals will not be displeasing to any but those who have a selfish motive in agitation, and who conceive they have an end to gain incompatible with the good of the community at large. That there are such persons in Liverpool as well as in other places, we cannot of course deny ; their chirping has too frequently sung in our ears to leave us doubtful on that point; but we do believe they are not many here, and that they are noisy, like the big drum of our gallant Cheshire yeomen, only because they are empty—in the head, we mean ;in other re spects they seem to be well enough cared for, many, if not most of them being apparently much better fed than taught. This small but noisy party being duly impressed by the powerful eloquence of the Manchester lecturers, and excited to action by a trifling modicum of the great propeller (of which the league is reputed to pos sess so ample a supply) do, it seems, contemplate pro curing candidates to start for Liverpool on anti-corn law principles ; but we expect that our esteemed re presentatives need not make themselves very uneasy on this score. Mr. Cresswell, in his address, alluding to the im possibility of any adjustment being produced by the " violent and unreasoning hostility which it is sought to raise in one class against another," makes the fol- lowing just observation " Some persons," he says, " may suppose that theprotec tion given to agriculture is for the benefit of landowners alone ; but nothing can be more erroneous. How many in terests are bound up and inseparably united with those of the landowner, the farmer, and the agricultural labourer? How many heavy burdens are at present borne by the landowners, which are essential to the welfare of our complicated state of society, and which cannot be removed from him and imposed upon the owners of any other description of property ? I can hardly imagine any thing more important to the well-being of the nation, than that it should be independent of all fo reigners for the necessaries of life ; and if that he so, is not the encouragement of agriculture by an adequate protection, equally a benefit to all classes of the community ?" This is the proper language of an Englishman and a true patriot, and a complete answer to those who raise the stupid cry of " monopoly" against the sup porters of the existing laws. We doubt sometimes if these cheap-bread brawlers be Englishmen at all, or anything better, at all events, than bribed agents of some foreign power. We will, however, be so far charitable as to suppose that they have no correct no tion of the consequences that would result from that free trade which they are most strenuous for. They may be aware that free trade in Brazilian sugar would be a direct bounty upon negro slavery, but do they know that a similar operation in Russian corn would he productive of a similar effect on white slavery ? We extract the following from a pamphlet addressed to the " Farmers of England, by a Merchant," which may be useful to some of this party : "Throughout that immense empire (Russia)," says the author, " land has no value of itself; it is the cattle which are upon it that constitute and regulate its value, and that cattle are our fellow -creatures / When an estate is to be sold, the first question is, how many souls does it hold ? and the an swer includes every male, whatever his age ; the value, fer tility, and situation of the land reguhrting the price per head, the land itself being a necessary appendage of the bargain, without any stipulated value, or indeed even a formal con veyance by the deed of sale. " When an estate is let to a farmer, the number of days that each peasant is obliged to work is duly entered in a book signed by the landlord and tenant, who then pays the rent, or, in other words, the value of the slaves' labour to their owner ; the slaves being obliged to work two, sometimes three days of the week for nothing, and maintain themselves by using the remainder of the week in cultivating the scanty plot of ground allotted to their use. " The oppression and infamy of such a system of agricul ture, the cruelty of the master, and the sufferings of the slave, is a subject foreign to our present purpose, and would require, to do it justice, the pen of Gibbon or of Raynal ; suffice you should know that predial slavery exists throughout the vast extent of the Russian empire, that there is no other mode of cultivation, and that every bushel of corn imported into this country, in times of scarcity, from any part of the Russian dominions, is fully as much the labour of slaves as oppressed, though worthy of a better fate, as the blacks who raise the sugar with which Lord John wished to sweeten your lea by importing the same frorn Brazil. " The immediate and inevitable consequence of a fixed duty of Bs. per quarter upon wheat would be, if possible to aggra vate the lot of twenty millions of white slaves, who will be made to work double tides by dint of the cat-o-nine-tails, now liberally used. Think also that Russia contains tracts of uncultivated land vast enough to cover the surface of the rest of Europe ; and that within a radius of four or five hun dred miles round the shores of the Black Sea and the Sea of Asoph, not a twentieth part of the land-4ertile as it is be yond any land that you have ever seen=is in cultivation, from want of hands. Lord John's law would, therefore, be come the strongest stimulus to the population of Russia which she ever had ; and let it not be said that increase of predial slavery will enlarge the market for our manufactures. Not one of one thousand Russian peasants ever wore a patch of British goods : their dress in winter consists of sheep's ;king; in the summer of coarse sail cloth, manufactured by hemselves. You may lose India by encouraging the pros )erity of Russia ; but as long as predial slavery shall exist in .hat country, you cannot increase the demand for your mods." It is apparent, from the eloquent addresses of both our esteemed members, that they feel a deep convic tion of the importance of the great struggle now about to be brought to an issue throughout the kingdom, and pleasing to find them gratuitously renewing those pledges of unalterable attachment to our constitution in Church and State, which first recommended them to the Electors of Liverpool. On this head the lan guage of both is " express and admirable," and we feel particular pleasure in referriti'g our readers thereto. Liverpool will do itself much honour by again adding to the Conservative majority in Parliament two such able, honourable, and talented men. 'Whether, when the time comes, there will really be any opposition or not, it is of couse impossible for us to say; but it can be no harm for the Conservative Electors to be on their guard. We have had enough of the pretended " Reformers"; the next must be a Conservative—a Peel House of Commons. Remember, then, that it will not be enough for the Conservative Electors of the kingdom merely to do what they have done before ; that won't do now. We must now give Sir R. Peel and Lord Stanley and their friends a " good working majority." Should there be a ministerialist opposition then in Liverpool, let the Electors bear in mind that it must be served out in very prime style and nothing less. The Whig-O'Connell Ministers must learn what confidence the people of Liverpool place in them. The notorious Dr. Webster, of St. Alban's, is to be prosecuted after all. Mr. Wynn moved to this effect in the House of Commons on Tuesday, and the minis terialists, although they shewed their teeth, were yet afraid to divide the house ; consequently their friend the doctor is sacrificed. The bribery used at that eleetion,,by which Lord Listowel obtained the vacant seat of St. Alban's, was a matter of perfect notoriety ; and it may be recollected that the only reason assigned by the committee who investigated the case, for not setting the election aside, was a pretended failure of proof as to " agency." Thus the seat was secured to the bed-chamber lord, and a vote preserved to minis ters; .but now that the tide has turned against them, misfortunes pour in, and overtake even the meanest of their followers. The prosecution against Webster will be carried on by the Attorney-General, at the instance of the house; and let it operate as a caveat to all whig agents at the forthcoming general election. Disaster after disaster pours in upon the ministers— once more they have been signally defeated. On Wednesday evening, during the progress of the " ad ministration of justice bill" through the House of Commons, a question arose whether "a ministry in abeyance," (as designated by Lord Stanley,) sho, Id ap point the officers under the bill, as it does not come into operation until November next. Sir Edward Sugden moved " that the appointment of the judges under this bill should be postponed until October, when the ministry,' (then in office,) should be em powered to appoint them." This motion was carried on a division by a majority of 18 against ministers, when Lord John Russell postponed the further pro ceeding of the bill till that day three weeks, which, of course, amounts to an abandonment of it. Poor crea tures ! they seem to have no comfort in the agonies of dissolution, but to be liable to the kicks and bites of every cur that passes by. THE JEws.—A statistical account of the Jews in Russia has lately been published at St. Petersburgh by the Acade mician Kopper. It appears from it, that the number resi ding by permission in the 17 governments is 1,054,319, including both sexes. In Volhynia they are most numerous, constituting a 15th part of the whole population. In Poland the greater number is in Warsaw, of which the Jews form one-fourth of the inhabitants; and, indeed, in-both Russia and Poland, they are greatly more numerous in the towns i than in the country places. In 1837 the total number of Israelites in Poland was 411,307, of whom 338,667 lived in the towns, and 72,630 in the country. LOCAL NEWS THE BRITISH QUCEN.—This beautiful vessel still con. inues on view. The proceeds arising from the number of ,ersons who have visited her, has been of great service to the amilies of the missing President MR. DANIEL'S PORTRAITS.—We have been favoured with ► private view of the portrait of a gentleman in this town, minted by Mr. Daniel's, a native artist of distinguished :alert. The painting we speak of has excited the admiration )f some of the most competent judges ; and the same may be ;aid of Mr. Daniel's portrait of the late mayor of this borough. There is a feeling about his works which denotes greatgenius. We understand that some of them may be seen in the ap- proaching exhibition TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT. — On Monday, the 7th inst., a deputation from the congregation of St. John's school and Newbury chapel, Farnworth, waited upon the Rev. John M`Lindon at his residence, and presented him with a splen did gown and cassock, together with a beautiful Bible, from the teachers of Newbury Sunday school as a token of their esteem and respect, on his leaving the district. The rev. gentleman returned thanks in a most affectionate and feeling manner. He was lately curate of All Saints' church in this town. OPERATIVE PROTESTANT AssoclATloN.—We perceive, from placards on the walls, that the half•yearly meeting of this excellent society takes place this evening, at the Amphi theatre. The speakers who have promised to attend will, no doubt, secure a numerous auditory ; but, at the present moment, there are many subjects of peculiar interest to all lovers of our country and her glorious institutions, which will, no doubt, be brought forward to-night, by one or more of the speakers, and pressed upon their hearers with their usual force. Protestants of Liverpool! now is the time — your enemies are active—follow their example, and redouble your ardour. MEETING OF CONSERVATIVES.—We are glad to perceive that a meeting of all friends of the canstitution will be held to-morrow, in the large room of the Queen's Arms Hotel, when measures will be taken to secure the return of our present excellent representatives. Every person should at tend ; for though we are well aware what the result of the election will be, yet the majority for the conservatives should be made so triumphant and overwhelming as not only to prevent our enemies offering any opposition at a future period, but to present an example to the other constituencies of the kingdom, who always look to Liverpool for an exam ple and encouragement. BLUE COAT SCHOOL.—On Sunday morning next, as will be seen from an advertisement, the claims of this excellent institution will he brought before the congregation of St. Jude's Church, when we have no doubt, from the powers of advocate, and the utility of the school, a most liberal contri bution will be gathered. PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. — An excellent sermon was preached before a crowded congregation in St. Michael's Church, on Tuesday evening, by the Rev. Hugh 11/I`Neile, in aid of the funds of this association. The text was taken from the second chapter of St. Paut's Epistle to the Colos sians, and the 20th and three following verses :—" Where fore, if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances (touch not; taste not; handle not; which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will, worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body ; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh." MANSLAUGATER : FATAL RESULT OF A FIGHT.—An in quest was held on Tuesday before P. F. Curry, Esq., coroner, on view of the body of John Williams, with whose murder two men, named Alexander Macauley and Michael O'Mealey, were charged. It appeared, that on Saturday night last, a few minutes before twelve o'clock, the deceased and the accused were together in Ormond-street. The former was intoxicated, and a dispute took place between him and Macauley, which ended in a scuffle. In the course of the disturbance, a man who was present saw Macauley strike the deceased with his hand a blow which knocked him down. A shout was then raised, and several persons collected. A police-officer, hearing that there was a disturbance, ran to the spot, and knocked for assistance. He was presently joined by an acting inspector, who, on having ascertained what had transpired, arrested Macauley, and kept him in custody until the prostrate man was carried into his father's house, which was about a dozen yards off. When this had been done a light was obtained, and it was then found that Williams was dead. Two surgeons, however, were sent for ; but, on the arrival of the first, he stated that his services were not required, as life was extinct. The jury acquitted O'Mealey, and returned a verdict of manslaughter against Macauley, who was committed to Kirkdale for trial at the next assizes. EXTENSIVE ROBITERY—CAUTION TO EMIGRANTS. — At the police-court on Wednesday two prostitutes named Sarah Guy and Catharine Johnson, were charged with hav ing robbed a young man of the name of Edward Knott, of the sum of £BO and upwards. The complainant deposed that he was a weaver, that he lodged with Mr. John Picker ing, at No. 3, Wapping, and that he was about to emigrate to America. On Saturday night last, he had a few glasses of ale with some friends at a house in Park-lane, and about ten o'clock he left them to go. home. Being a stranger in the town, he lost his way, and about eleven o'clock he met the prisoner, Catharine Johnson, and another woman, not in custody, stopped him in the street, and asked hint if he wanted lodgings. He replied in the affirmative. They said they would take him to respectable lodgings, and he told them lie should give them a glass eaeh if they would. He then went with them into a public house close by, where they had a glass of rum each. which he paid for. Then then took him to the house of Sarah Guy in Simpson-street. Johnson and the other woman went in with him, and said, " '1 his is the house." The prisoner Guy lighted a candle, and showed him up stairs. The two other women remained below. The prisoner Guy remained in the bed-room while he un dressed. He asked her what he had to pay for the night's lodging, she said eighteen pence. He gave her that sum from some loose silver he had in his pocket. He had in his trousers pocket a bag containing seventy-six sovereigns and nine half-sovereigns. There was a spade-ace guinea among the gold which he counted as a sovereign, and he heard the gold jink as he pulled of his trousers. He took the hag out of his pocket, and felt that the money was safe. He then tied the bag up tight, and put a knot upon it, and replaced in his trousers, which lie put under his pillow. The prisoner Guy ES topti elude to him ' and uuuhl BCC. nun securing inn ban. He got into hed, and Guy took the candle away. He fell asleep immediately after, and did not wake until six o'clock the following morning. He then missed his trousers, money, and all his clothes. He went down stairs, and found no one in the place but a boy. He asked him where the mistress was, to which he replied he did not know. He asked him if she was his mother, and he said " Yes." He then went up stairs and searched the rooms. He found his trousers in a room adjoining that in which he had slept, but the bag and the gold was gone, besides about four shillings of loose silver which he had in the other pocket. He then went into his bed-room and searched it, but found nothing except his watch, which he had placed ander the pillow ; it was lying upon the floor, near the head of the bed. After remaining in the house about an hour, he went home, and gave infor mation to the officer on the beat. Constable 47 deposed, that on Sunday morning last he saw the prisoner Guy in a public-house in Fontenoy-street, and that she had a quantity of gold and silver in her hand, which she said she had taken out of the bank the day before. On the way to bridewell she put a sovereign into his Maud, and said, " 1 'll give ten pounds more if you 'll let me go." She was then searched, and in her pocket was found £3O 10s. in gold, £-17s. 6d. in silver, and 4d. in copper. The prisoners were committed for trial at the sessions. STOKE-UPON-TRENT.--The Hon. F. D. Ryder (brother of Lord Sandon) and Alderman Copeland met the electors of this borough yesterday. The hon. gentlemen will be tri umphantly returned. Lord Sandon was expected at the meeting. WALSALL.—As to the miserable faction at Walsall, they were so recently and thoroughly beaten both on the poll and the petition, that it is generally believed they will die and make no sign. Success to Gladstone, is on every one's lips. Good ! SOUTH lISHIRE.-Mr. G. Wilbraham, one of the pre sent members for South Cheshire, has issued his address to the constituency, and a more extraordinary production it has not been our lot to witness for sonic time past : it bears the stamp of the whig-radical character of dubious construction ; and it would not in the least surprise us if some pseudo eausist was the concoctor of this proteus-like composition. He says to the men of South Cheshire, that " I shall vote for the proposition of the government, which does no more than affirm the general principle of a fixed duty, but I shall do so with an express understanding that I do not thereby assent to the rate of duty proposed by government, and that I shall not he satisfied without a full protection to the farmer." Mr. Wilbraham here very distinctly contradicts himself : for if he vote " for the proposition of the vvern ment" Ss. per quarter for wheat, and if that proposition should be carried in the Commons, what becomes of the " full protection to the farmers" which he so boastingly puts forth ? Has he not cut it off by his own hand ? But Mr. Wilbraham in one breath tells us he will vote for the Bs. per quarter duty on wheat, and in the next declares, " he does not assent to the duty proposed by the government." Was there ever such a contradiction in terms, or a greater per version of truth and reason ? If the constituency of South Cheshire can be blinded by this open departure from fair dealing with their best interests, we are much deceived in our estimate of their judgment and discretion ; and sure we are that they will at once reject such propositions, and like wise the author of them, and prevent him from ever again sharing their sudport and patronage. Mr. Wilbraham ad mits that the protecting duty must exceed Bs. per quarter : and yet he will vote for this SUM with the ministers; but as the minor cannot include the major, he wars again with common sense, and seeks merrly to delude by a surplusage of words which the worthy member probably hugs himself in supposing that his constituents would not attempt to unravel. —Chester Courant. WEXFORD TOWN.—Already has a Liverpool merchant, of high standing and character, and of the " right sort." can vassedithe electors with success, and made all the preliminary arrangements for carrying on a contest, should he be opposed, with vigour.—Dublin Evening Mail.—LThe gentleman al luded to is, we believe, James Bourne, Lsq., of this town— and we have no occasion to say he will make a most. excellent representative. We are glad to hear there is every prospect of his success.] REPRESENTATION OF BRISTOL.—The Liverpool Times of Tuesday last contained a foolish article, with reference to a letter from Mr. Fripp, who declined to come forward as a candidate for the representation of Bristol at the ensuing elec tion. Our contemporary will, no doubt, be grieved to learn that, on re-considering the matter, Mr. Fripp has been in duced to abandon his first resolution, and is now in the hands of the electors. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which this proposition was received by a crowded meeting. A committee has been formed for securing the return of Mr. Fripp, along with Mr. Miles th e present cons ervat i ve mem ber, and there is not the slightest fear of the interests of Bristol being any longer neglected, or the wishes of the ma jority of the electors neutralized. DEATH OF Sin DAVID WiLicir.—We announce, with great regret, the death of this celebrated painter, which took on wasthe. ls taa d o d f e t n h , e presentaa n o accountmonth. hadlt wboeuelnd place at Gibraltar, death hous illness. He was on his return from edbieu,aettntt Ali, received ctihnaft his as previous Egypt, where he had passed some time in examining the venerable ruins of that ancient country—not only with a view unexpectedlyresul t of hi his labourscut a h abretfobrye thete o gratify a laudable curiosity, hut :also to enable him, at hievisit he had frequent interviews with whom it is said he had been a s t ome they p u have r t i o n l g a b y ha t ies l Withh publica n d great favourite , and had tak en one of the best likenesses of his ighness , with a view of having it engraved in England. We trust the painting was in such a state of forwardness as will enable an engraver to carry the original design into effect. The loss of Sir David Wilkie will be felt, not only in this country, but throughout Europe and America. His " Rent Blind Man's Buff," "p erm y Wedding," " Chelsea Day,'' `` pensioners," and many other now standard works of art, are as well known and as much admired in foreign countries as in his native land, and will render his name immortal. He came to London when he was about twenty years of age, and exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy in 1806. One great painting followed another in rapid succession, and in afew years he reached the height of his fame. Latterly his productions have been far inferior to those which brought him so justly into notice. Sir David was fifty-six years of age at his death. He was the son of the Rev. -Wilkie, minister of the parish of Oults, in Fifeshire, and was born in 1785. He was knighted in 1836; elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1810, and a Royal Academician in 1813. He was lately appointed Principal Painter in Ordinary to her Majesty. —Morning Chronicle.
