TO CORRESPONDENTS. The letters of " Dicky Sam" and "Au Anglican" were received too late for insertion. 'We have for some time contemplated the alterations suggested by "A Friend to the 5TAND41.213," but it requires time to make the necessary arrangements. - The " Thinking Man" of the Albion states, with reference to the case submitted by the NI arch Committee to counsel, that the Town-clerk asserts, that "it is impossible to impugn" the opinion. What the Town-clerk really did say, as may be seen from his le ter, was that the "ease is impossible for the fairness .of its statement to be impugned." The difference is important, as Mr. Rushton appears to ground some objections against the mode in which the case was stated. Ebr &tan Darb. TUESDAY NORAING, BEPT. 10, 1844. The prison -doors are open. O'Connell and his myrmidons are free—free to commence again their insolent and injurious agitation--free to pour once more into the ear of frantic millions those insidious appeals, which have already wrought such fearful alienation of feeling in the hearts of the Irish peo ple, towards British laws and the British name and which promise, at no distant day, to bring about a struggle only to be quenched with blood— a struggle whose issue must either desolate the soil and destroy the prosperity of Ireland, or, in the event of a dearly-earned success, strike a blow at the power of the British empire, which all Europe, aye the world in arms, have attempted in vain, O'Connell is free. He stood yesterday in his "Conciliation Hall "—with the words of conciliation on his lips ? Oh, no : he stood there hurting taunts, insults, threats against England and her laws, whose weakness, whose merciful humanity, have released him from his well-earned prison. He stood, exulting in the added power of mischief, which the very attempt to control his incendiary career had conferred upon him, proclaiming new sedition and new injuries to he attempted; and, by the triumphant yells of approbation which followed every word of insult to the Saxon poured from his rips, he afforded to the Government and the people of this empire a warning intimation of the days and ,the scenes to come, for which it were well they should prepare in time. Hatred to England—deep, bitter, and abiding —was marked upon the faces, and glared from the eyes, of the great majority of that vast assembly, who listened to and cheered his every word,---a hatred, the out bursting of which England must prepare to encounter and put down, if the would not be herself its victim. Men are asking themselves, everywhere, " How has this event been brought about ? How is this man enabled from day to day to dare and evade the powers of British law? What unaccountable agency can have enabled him on this occasion,—when for the first time in his turbulent career within the walls of a British prison abiding the sentence of a British jury, —to escape in defying and triumph to his favourite agitation ?" They glance with distrust towards the Conservative head of the British Go vernment—to the man who has once earned that distrust, by concessions to the dictation of this very demagogue. But the hands of Sir Robert Peel are, this time, clean. He has not brought about a re sult so apparently inexplicable. The prerogative of the Crown has not been exercised to bring it about; and we are driven, therefore, to one or other of these conclusions; viz.—either the law of England is too feeble to put down treasonable conspiracy, such as that of which O'Connell and his con federates were proved guilty, or that law has been wrongfully administered. Let us see which of these alternatives we are to adopt. The legality in form, of the sentence by virtue of which these conspirat ors were committed to a prison, was agreed at length under a writ of error before the House of Lords, the last court of appeal. It was agreed before the whole House, mind, not the " Law Lords" alone, of whom there were only five present. Several issues were prepared upon points 'raised by counsel and sent down for the opinion of the judges of the courts below, seven of whom were strongly of opinion that the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland must be affirmed ; one (Baron Parke) was undecided, but leaned to wards a reversal, and Mr. Justice Coltman alone. was decisive in favour of such reversal. These opinions were given to the House of Lords on Monday last; and there was scarcely a man in the realm (out of the secret) who did not feel assured that the decision of the House of Lords would be in accordance with that of the majority of the judges. But it appears to have been the practice— the etiquette—of that House to leave the decision of the dry matters of law usually submitted to them to the " Law Lords" who had heard the case, (in the present instance, consisting of the Lord Chan cellor Lyndhurst, and Lords Brougham, Denman, Cottenham, end Campbell ;) and when Lord Wharncliffe had impressed upon the House the propriety of adhering to such practice, and leaving the Law Lords alone to vote, the case was over, the decision almost certain for whiggery. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Brougham were for affirming the judgment, Lords Denman, Cottenham, and Campbell for reversing it; and as the result, O'Con nell and his confederates are at liberty, and the law of England a mockery. It must strike every impartial man that there is something very anomalous and even absurd in the course here gone upon. It is plainly one opposed to common sense, to the spirit of the constitution, and to the very existence of the House of Lords (properly so called) as a court of appeal. The form of the whole proceedings implied that the house was to decide the question at issue, not the law lords alone, or whence the necessity of taking the opinion of the inferior judges. The law lords (superior judges) did not want such opinions to guide them. They went directly in their teeth after they had them. Their minds, we have no doubt, were made up long before they had them; and they were, there fore, useless, unless, as we believe, they were in tended for the guidance of the whole house, lay lords as well as law lords, who had the undoubted privilege, and should have been left free to exercise the P rivilege ' of voting upon an occasion so important as this,—of taking care that the majesty of British law was not set at nought and justice defeated, by the quibbles and the party leanings of political law yers. We regret that the "old ways of the constitution" were not adhered to,—that new-fangled etiquette was so fatally preserved ; for we are perfectly satis fied not only by the result, but by the mode of its attainment as well, that a deep injury has been in flicted upon this country and her institutions. For what must be the necessary result of this untoward decision. So far as the impression produced in Ire land is concerned we know what has been the effect. It has destroyed, or fatally weakened, the character of the judicial bench in that country. Already we hear from the lips of the agitator himself threats of impeachment directed against all the authorities who were concerned in the sentence pronounced against him. But a more disastrous effect is that which must be produced throughout the empire, to the disparagement of the whole course of cur judicial code, which is thus shewn to be arbitrary, utterly incapable of being depended upon in its decisions, and liable to be influenced as to those decisions by party bias.l IFor a moment examine the authorities, —their character and standing,—who have recorded their opinions for and against the reversal of this judgment. On the one side we have, for the rever sal Lord Cottenhatn, Lord Denman, Lord Camp bell, Baron Parke (dubious) and Justice Coltman, — five in number ; two of them, (Lords Cottenham and Campbell,) place-hunting Whigs, and the latter a violent and a needy partizan, —a man whose " greed" of lucre, to use the expressive language of his own country, was so conspicuously shown in his grasp ing the Chancellorship of Ireland at a time when the Ministry to which he belonged was in extremis. For confirming the judgment we have Lord Lynd hurst, Lord Brougham, Chief Justices Tindal and Pennefather, and Judges Coleridge, Williams, Maule, Patteson, Alderson, Gurney, Burton, Cramp ton and Perrin —in all, thirteen in number, against five ; and how far removed the bulk of them from even the imputation of political partizanship ! How ianimpeachable in the dignified character of their judicial position ! No such decision as this, against weight of authority so evident, can possibly have the respect of the reflecting portion of the empire, or be regarded in any other light than that in which it is regarded by the ablest journal in Ireland, the Dublin Evening Mail, as "a political, not a legal decision." For the present we leave its further consideration, with pain and heartfelt sorrow for the results which it involves. We may return to it. There are, we fear, circumstances in the background which ti me alone can aid its in developing. We have given, in another part of our paper, a descriptive account of so much of the nature of Captain Warner's inventions as we have been ena bled to gather, and to convey in the small space it our disposal, fr om the `f correspondenCe" on th? subject recently published, by order of the House of Commons. We have also to some extent, made known our own unprofessional impression of the value of the inventions in question, and the treat ment received by the inventor in his efforts, with safety to himself, to bring them experimentally to test before the various parties appointed for the purpose of adjudicating upon their merits and prac ticability. We have been candid in doing this ; and we feel confident that our comments upon the temper of a letter referred to in our last, and in which our representative, Sir Howard Douglas, was spoken of by Captain Warner with a considerable degree of asperity, will be received as based upon a desire to do equal justice to both; and that whilst defending an honourable man, accused of over strictness and something even more, in the dis charge of an onerous and most responsible duty, we are perfectly willing to consider and regret the po sition of Captain Warner at the tim9 of these en quiries, and to make due allowance for any ordinary degree of warmth of temper which it might have called forth. Bearing in mind, then, the whole circumstances of the case, we must repeat the conviction expressed in our last that, not only towards Sir Howard Douglas, in his letter of the 28th ult. addressed to the London Times, but to other officers, with whom he has been brought in contact, Captain Warner has shewn a degree of hastiness very unwarrantable. It was entrusted to these officers —men distinguished in their profession—to investigate into the merits of newly discovered powers, unknown to science, and upon which they were told that the fate of their country depended. These powers were to he pur chased by Government, in the event of a favorable result of the investigation. Such, at least, was im plied, although expressly repudiated as a necessary conclusion of that favorable result; and the duty, therefore, of the investigators was to exercise a de gree of jealousy and care amounting even to hardness of belief. Captain Warner, in many parts of this correspondence, admits the power of his inventions to be surpassing credibility. He permits no near scrutiny, in case of experiments being made. He has his secret to keep until Government consents to purchase it. The officers commissioned by Govern ment have to satisfy themselves that it is worth such purchase, from the meagre opportunities of testing it, which the circumstances of the nego ciators and the cautious inventor permit. It is a fine game of fence—a quasi-diplomatic treaty, car ried on at "a long range"—a duet in which one of the performers wants to look over the other's score, whilst that other is ever and anon crying " hands off"— " Procul oh precut este prarani With this view of the case, firmly impressed upon us by the correspondence itself, we cannot but think that Captain Warner has been injuriously hasty and extremely unjust towards Sir Howard Douglas in his letter to the editor of the Times, accusing him of unfairness in his conduct of the negotiation, and misrepresentation in his speech of the 31st July last, in the House of Commons. He states that Sir Howard had given to the house only such a portion of the correspondence between them as told against himself, and had snppressed what was fa vourable. Now, we must say that an attentive pe rusal of the parliamentary paper has conveyed to us no such impression. It has convinced us, in deed, that before none of the commissioners has Captain Warner been submitted to a more searching investigation, and before none does he appear to less advantage than before Sir Howard Douglas and Sir Byam Martin. Nothing but a satisfactory ex periment would suffice to convince any man, read ing the minutes of that examination, (to be found at page 19 of the correspondence, under date of the 19th April,) that the invisible shells of Captain \Varner, insisted upon by him to be first tried, were practicable in their working and safe to those work ing them. Nowhere has Captain Warner dealt more largely in unsatisfactory assertion than in his communicaticns with these officers. An injurious intimation is attempted to be con veyed in Mr. Warner's letter, that Sir H. Douglas had startled him, during the negotiation, by the inquiry, when upon the subject of remuneration, " What is to prevent my asking £400,000 of the Prime Minister? After you have put me in pos session of your secret, I shall be as formidable as yourself." According to the printed correspon dence, however, Sir Howard made no such startling remark. In questions 73 and 74 of the proceedings of the 19th of April, Captain Warner having stated that "one man in every fleet " must be in the secret, it is asked (and we may remark that the questions in this examination were put .from written notes previously prepared, and put too by Sir Byam Martin, the Chief Commissioner,)—" If this he the case, the secret would no sooner be bought than it would he lost, unless the Government gave £400,000 to every person who may become acquainted with it, &c. Perhaps you may suggest some way of secu ring the secret which does not occur to us ? "—and the want of any apparent ability on the part of Captain Warner to suggest such plan, was the in ducing cause of the Commissioners' discountenan cing as useless any investigation of the merits of the shells, and expressing a wish to proceed to the trial of the " long range." This attack, therefore, against the honour of Sir Howard Douglas entirely fails, and is anything but creditable to the party by whom it was made. Captain Warner proceeds in his letter to state, that " Sir Howard Douglas, in a .peremptory man ner, said I must disclose my secret agent, and ex plain its nature, properties, and composition, as well as the plans of putting it in operation." Through out the printed correspondence we can find no such peremptory demand. On the contrary, Captain Warner was repeatedly told that no portion of his secret—nothing that would endanger his secret was sought. The commissioners insisted upon satisfac tory trial of his powers, unconditioned as to subse quent remuneration; and upon this point, and this alone, the negociation was broken off. We readily allow that throughout the affair, on the part of Sir Howard Douglas, much strictness was observed—much precaution against possible detection, by which the country might suffer pecu niarily in case of the purchase of Captain Warner's powers. But we must in justice say—we have al ready said that the negociation between Captain 'Warner and Sir T. Byam Martin and Sir Howard Douglas was unsatisfactory, so far as the captain's replies were concerned—that the previous evidence taken, and, of course, in the possession of these officers, was equally so. Upon the subject of the long range, for instance, the answers to questions respecting its powers (No. 18 to 23) bear the une quivocal interpretation that it is a projectile, at all times capable of application. Admiral Owen, how ever, to whom its powers had been explained by Captain Warner, describes it as an engine by which any place or any squadron could be destroyed " of which he had the weather gage"—a description cer tainly far from satisfactory, as taking from it all the utility of a projectile. We must here leave the subject. Our only mo tive for entering into its discussion further than we had already done, was to protect the character and conduct of Sir Howard Douglas, in that part of the long negociation which was managed by him. We trust we have done that, and we leave the question of the real merits of the inventions of the captain to abler hands. We gave in our last publication the substance of an opinion, taken upon a case submitted to counsel through the Town-clerk of Liverpool, defining the relative powers of the Witch Committee and the magistrates, in respect to the dismissal of members of the police force. In another portion of our pa per we give to-day both the opinion and "the case" itself. The public will judge of the fairness of the one and the legal correctness of the other. The known ability arid leaning of the Town-clerk will be a sufficient warrant of the former; the emi nent legal names of the counsel consulted will be, to most minds, a guarantee for the latter. It would appear, however, that the distinguished lawyer, who presides in the Police-court of this town, (and upon the legality of whose acts, and those of the magistrates, upon a recent occasion, the opinion in question pronounces,) has thought fit to dissent from the correctness of such opinion ; and at a special meeting of the magistrates, held at the Town-hall on Friday last, some extracts from which appear in our columns, the same learned functionary proceeded to lay before his brethren of the bench, and the public, at great length, the grounds upon which he has arrived at such a con clusion. To this statement, elaborately drawn up —written, and read to the meeting, because " he thought the occasion was one which called for a very wise and cautious discrimination"—we prop ose n3w to direct th e a t tent i on of our readers. ME LIVERPOOL STANDAII,S At the outset of his statement, Mr. Rushton com plains that the justices " had no part in the prepa ration of the case ;" the opinion " had not been taken for both bodies," nor " been taken with their consent, appr o b at i o n , or a d v i ce. " He admits that " the facts are fairly stated," although in his opi nion " rather nakedly stated." He admits the fact, stated in the opinion itself, of one counsel having been selected to argue the points in dispute, on be half of the Justices, and another on behalf of the Watch Committee; but he repudiates the circum stance of either of such counsel being the Justices' " representative," inasmuch as they had not drawn up their owo case—had not laid before him, in' ad dition to "a fair," although a " rather naked state ment," one coloured to their own taste. We might, however, remind Mr. Rushton that he and his bro ther magistrates had ample opportunity to take an opinion of their own. It was sufficiently notorious at the time that the Watch Committee were doing so; and it is rather too late, therefore, to quarrel now with the result of the proceedings taken on such a ground, especially when he puts his opposi tion to the correctness of the opinion upon strictly legal, not circumstantial, grounds. Besides, the Town-clerk states, in his letter to the Watch Com mittee, that the " statements in the case, for fairness and impartiality, cannot be impugned." If the . Town-clerk has given unintentionally any colouring to the case, it is much more likely to be favourable to Mr. Rushton's views than to those of the Watch Committee, as the former gentleman, at the time of drawing up the case, was avowedly of the same opinion as Mr. Rushton. The premises are virtually admitted upon which lir. Edward Rushton is at issue, as to the law, with Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Cowling, and Mr. Edward Cardwell—the two first names those of the most eminent lawyers of the day, with perhaps one ex ception, ani the latter almost equally eminent. Messrs. Kelly, Cowling, and Cardwell were una nimously of opinion that " The justices could not regularly or lawfully have pro ceeded to dismiss from the police force the constables in question, if they had refused to resign their membership of the Orange Society, however objectionable it might be, that persons charged with the preservation of the peace should continue members." 31r. Edward Rushton maintains that their law is bad. Messrs. Kelly, Cowling, and Cardwell express their opinion upon the remaining points thus : " 2. We think that, by passing Mr. Bolton's resolu tion, and communicating it through the head-constable to the parties, the justices have acted in an irregular manner, and have claimed to exercise a power not vested in them by law. We think the statute 5 and 6 William IV., c. 76, has placed the Watch Committee in the situation of Courts Leet at Common Law in regard to the appoint ment and dismissal of constables, 2 Str. 798. and T. Jones 212, and, that these powers, except so far as may be otherwise expressly provided by the act, are vested ex clusively in them. We think that, under S. S. 77 and 80, the justices have a power of adjudication upon the conduct of constables in the discharge of their duty, one part of which duty is a compliance with the regulations directed in S. 77, to he framed by the Watch Committee, and that, after such adjudication only (Str. 1,050) have the justices the power of dismissal mentioned in these sec tions. We think that, as no prohibition against belonging to an Orange Society is included in those regulations, and as the tendency to occasional breaches of the peace is too remote to be the subject of legal complaint, the being - a member of such a society , constitutes no default in the duty of a constable, cognizable by the justices under the act, but is a a consideration properly falling within the province of the Watch Committee, to whom the general regulation and management of the force belongs." Upon these points, too, Mr. Edward Rushton in timates his total dissent from their decision. Upon all the points of the case our stipendiary is at issue with these leading members of the legal profession ! The weight of his opinion is in the one scale; the great experience, the profound learning, and ad mitted talent of the most eminent men of the British bar is in the other; and yet the Justices of Liver pool have deliberately determined to commit them selves to the guidance of the former of these autho rities, and at his advice to plunge themselves into an actual collision with the Watch Committee, who rely upon what they believe to be the better gui dance of better lawyers. We have not troubled ourselves here with doing more than laying before our readers the bare facts of this difference of doctors—this conflict of legal authorities. We shall not presume to oppose our opinion to that of " counsel learned in the law" on either side. Mr. Rushtcn may be right in his view of the case ; but it is more likely that he is wrong : and weighing the opinions on both sides, and the standing of the respective parties, we certainly have very little fear of the result of an appeal to the deci sion of the Court of Queen's Bench upon the points at issue. We cannot, however, but deprecate the necessity of the heartburnings and enmities which are likely to be thereby created between the mem bers of two bodies, whom it is so desirable, for the sake of peace and good order, to see working in amity together. We may, however, offer a useful hint or two to the Justices, by calling their attention to the light in which they are placing themselves in the eyes of their fellow -townsmen, by their conduct throughout this affair, as compared with that of the Watch Committee. They were the aggressors in the first instance. They inflicted what is considered a slight and a wrong upon the latter body by their hasty proceedings. But was any temper or unworthy feeling displayed in return ? No—the Watch Com mittee, with a becoming dignity, proceeded to ascertain, from the most eminent authorities, an opinion as to their position and the extent of their privileges. That opinion was favourable to their own views of those privileges; and now mark again the difference in the conduct of the two bodies. The Committee, without any unworthy flourish of triumph, calmly, through their chairman, laid before the magistrates a copy of the case submitted, and the opinion thereon in their favour. Not a com ment was made which could provoke an angry feel ing. But what was the demeanour evinced in re turn by Mr. Rushton and his colleagues ? A spe cial meeting of the bench was summoned forthwith, the reporter for a favourite Radical journal sent for, and Mr. Rushton's thunder launched forthwith at the heads of the Watch Committee. Surely the difference in bahaviour and discretion here exhibited is not one calculated to advance the bench in public confidence and respect, whilst it is infinitely credit able to the gentlemen composing the Watch Com mittee. Having said this much, we leave the case for the consideration of our readers and the public, once more reminding them that the authorities on either side are— Mr. Ldward Rushton, Stipendiary Magis- I v. trace, &C. FITZROY KELLY, Esq. Queen's Counsel, Mr. COWLING, and Mr. CARDWELL. THE FUNDS, SATURDAY NIGHT.—The funds have been firm, without a great amount of business. Saturday in general is a quiet day at the Stock-Exchange, conse quent upon the early closing of the markets. Consols for money left off this afternoon 99a to 4; and for the ac count 994; Exchequer-bilis, 755. to 975. premium; and India Stock, 282 to 281. The foreign securities showed no new feature, speculative business being exceedingly limited. Spanish Five per Cents. closed 224 to 23; the Three per Cents, 334 to 34 ; Portuguese, 444 to 454; Peruvian, 23 to 25; Mexican, 354 to 96 : the Deferred, 154 to 4 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 621 to 6 9 ;1 ; the Five per tents., 1001 to I; Danish, 881 to 894 ; Co lumbian, 134 to 14 ; Chilian, 102 to 104 ; Buenos Ayres, 34 to 36 ; Brazilian, 814 to .854 ; and Belgia n , 1024 to 1034. THE INDIAN MAIL—The Sad of Marseilles says— " The Indian mail has not arrived at i's usual time. We think we can explain the delay as follows :—The de spatches are usually conveyed from Alexandria and Malta by one of the Oriental Company's steam-boats. On the arrival of this vessel at Malta the mails are transhipped to another steamer, which brings them on to Marseilles. The Alecto was appointed" for this service on the present occasion, but, according to our letters, this English packet should b e now at Mogador. It is no doubt owing to this circumstance that the delay arises. The mails have pro bably been put on board some sailing packet, which will be longer in performing the passage from Malta to Mar-. seines." The Morning Herald of yesterday says—" It should be borne in mind that the monsoons are on at about this season of the year. The steamer, Memnon, was lost in the month of September last year. The pro bability is that the mails have been delayed in conse quence of the violence of the monsoon. The year before last the letters were received by the 3d of September, if memory serves us right ; but at that period the weather was more than usually moderate, and the steamers worked regularly and without interruption. By Wedneseay or Thursday next, no doubt, the arrival will be announced." SMUGGLING WHISKEY.—At the Police-court, yester day, a female named Ann Doyle was charged before Mr. Rushton with having received two gallons of whiskey, which had been illegally imported in the steamer Finn M'Coul, from the north of Ireland. Mr. Woodruff, im port surveyor, stated that he preferred the information under the revenue act of Geo. IV., c. 8, s. 118, which required the infliction of a penalty in each case of £lOO, but left it to the discretion of the magistrate to mitigate the same to one-fourth cf that amount. Mr. Rushton accordingly, under the circumstances of the case, fined the prisoner £25, and in default she was ordered to be committed to gaol for three months. MR. RUSIITON'S OBJECTIONS TO ORANGE MEN, DISSECTED. In some remarks which will be found in our leading columns upon the recent proceedings of the Justices of the Borough, we have abstained from setting up our judg ment, in purely legal matters, against any of the lawyers consulted upon the question at issue, but we cannot re frain from the opportunity A* n-ded us, and earned by such forbearance, of remarking here, very briefly, upon one portion of Mr. Rushton's long and laboured display of legal lore, in which his motives and those who act with him are set forth. In justification of the course taken against the few members of the Orange order found in the police-forte, he says : " The justices were perfectly aware that, in a town where at least 70,000 Irishmen are. estimated to be among the population, and where the Catholics and Protestants among them partake in a great degree of the fierce spirit which unhappily prevails between them in Ireland, great caution was necessary in order to prevent the po lice force being formed out of any part of those factions which have been generated amidst the contests and alarms of one party or the other. The justices thought that it was highly important that those who were to act in the suppression of riots, and particularly of riots occasioned by religious party fights, ought not to be either Orangemen or Itibbonmen; they thought that such men would im pair the strength of the force, and render it not only less morally influential, but very muc h less powerful with regard to the effi ciency of the force itself. It was the opinion of the justices that their officers should not be fermed out of either faction, but that they should all of them be persons to whom every member of the working classes might appeal for advice or assistance without meet ing a hostile partizan where they sought only a minister of justice," And again : " The very cause of all the inquiry originated in a procession which, though not numerous, was represented to the justices as dangerous to the public peace, and which, a few (Lys before the in quiry, had passed through the town unmolested by the police, and then, for the first time, the justices were informed that Orangemen and Ribbonmen were in the police. The justices had not forgotten that battles had been fought in the town, during which life was en dangered and property destroyed ; and that one of these battles continued to agitate the town for several days, and that the com batants were persons enraged against each other by religious dif ferences. To suppress such riots with a force containing members of hostile factions, agitated by the very feelings which had created the disturbances, was, in the opinion of the justices, dangerous, and they thought for this cause, if for no other, that Orangemen and Ribbonmen were both unlit for the performance of the duty of constables in Liverpool." Now it is a little singular that this excessive anxiety that the constitution of the police-force should be devoid of party—that its members should in no degree be influ enced by " that fierce spirit" - of religious animosity which " unhappily prevails in Ireland"—should have been dis played at this particular period, and not before. There was. none of this stickling for the absence of all religious _Amor amongst the police-force in the palmy days of radical supremacy, when a large number of that force consisted of Papists bitterly opposed in feeling to the Protestant por tion of our population. There was no anxiety then, of which we are aware, that the force should be constituted of persons to whom "every member of the working clas ses might appeal for advice or assistance without meeting a hostile partizan where they sought only a minister of justice," unless the " fine pisintry" who presented them selves in shoals to the watch-board for election, with the magical P.P. appended to the euphoneous names in their credentials were, by virtue of their brogue and their ori gin, such impartial and learned peesons. Why the in creased care of Mr. Rushton and the magistrates now ? We ought to have been informed. A word , upon the care displayed by Mr. Rushton in classing together as unworthy and antagonistic characters Ribbonmen and Orangemen. Mr. Rushton had been in formed " that Orangemen. and Ribbonmen were in the force." Possibly the case was so then, and, with respect to Ribbonmen, may have been more extensively so in former years ; but his informant well knew the almost impossibility , a detecting Ribbonism. Men-do not ordi narily acknowledge themselves to belong to societies con nexion with which is an indictable offence. " The jus tices," he says, " had not forgotten that battles bad taken place in the town," &c. ; and they thought that " to sup press such riots with a force containing members of hostile factions, agitated by the very feelings which had created the disturbances, was dangerous, and for this• cause, if for no other, Orangemen and Ribbonmen were both unfit for the performance of the duly of constables in Liver pool." But, Mr. Rushton, were these battles between Orangemen and Ribbonmen ? That, we submit, is a fact as yet scarcely proved. They were contests between Pro testants and Repealers and Papists ;—that we do know, and little more than that. The real conclusion, therefore, from the exquisitely-learned gentleman's own premises is, that, because of their religious differences, Protestants and Roman Catholics were unfit members of the force. This is a dilemma he does not face; and he escapes out of it by selecting, as especially unfit, those Protestants who are members of legally organised societies—who are espe cially loyal and conservative—and throwing in, as a make weight to give the course pursued the semblance of fairness, a class of men illegally embodied together for purposes of outrage, disowned by their own fellow religionist s , an d denounced by their own priesthood ! This is anything but fair, Mr. Rushton. LIVERPOOL ILLUMINATED 1— We were really not aware, until informed of the circumstance by the pla cards published by a radical contemporary of Saturday, that there was anything like universal rejoicing; even amongst the low Irish population of our town, upon the occasion of the recent " unexpected" decision of the House of Lords, releasing O'Connell and his co-conspira tors (we must still call them such) from their well-de served imprisonment. We find, however, that in some streets of our town‘ (not very savoury streets) there has been an awful waste of tallow during the last two or three nights. Orange-street, Lace's-street, Preston-street, and other similar localities, we are informed, were illu minated on the news of the decision being received.. The fragments of breeches and old hats which supply the place of glass were taken out, for the nonce, and farthing dips inserted in the windows. Bonfires we are told wen actually lighted in Trueman-street, and other similar re sorts of the unwashed, (what were the police about, by the-bye ?) and the most exuberant and riotous festivities were carried on amongst the Paddies. Something almost akin to a procession was also attempted—viz. a few carts containing drunken repealers paraded the town on Thursday, and were not interrupted in their fooleries, the Protestant population looking on in contempt. HALE FLORAL AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—We remind our readers that the annual meeting at the fine village of Hale, for the exhibition of fruits, flowers, &c., will be held on Thursday next. The primipal object of the society is to benefit the cottage-holder, and small tenant, and generally to encourage an improved system of agriculture amongst the more wealthy farmers. Its ameliorating influence has already been evidenced in the superior air of cleanliness and comfort of the cottages and neatness of the gardens in that neighbourhood ; and tLe useful exertions of the society, are, we rejoice to observe, appreciated and encouraged amongst the higher classes in the locality, and many miles round it. The meetings are invariably highly respectable, the distance from Liverpool and other large towns tending to make them select. The drive to Hale, and the proverbial beauty of the village, conspire to render a visit one of the most delightful " outs" of the season, and we know of no one who has been present on former occasions who has rot returned home delighted with the treat, whetter as regarded the show, or the attractions, rural and antiquarian, of the spot. The society was established only 4 years ago, under the patronage of John Ireland Blackburne, Esq., of Hale Hall, a n d it s fl our i s hi ng con diti on affords thebest testimony of its merits. THE BISHOP OF JERUSALEM.--We are happy to state that the friends of Israel in this town purpose to present the worthy Bishop of Jerusalem with a handsome Bagster's Polyglot Bible, consisting of eight languages, as a small token of their sincere esteem and regard for him. We understand that it has originated with the Christian Israelites of this town, some of whom are old friends of his lordship. The mounting of the Bible will, therefore, be done in the old Jewish style, with a Hebrew motto, taken from the ancient Hebrew Ethics, which is " Be thou bold as a leopard, swift as an eagle, quick as a hart, and mighty as a lion, to do the will of thy Father who is in Heaven." Mr. John Herbert, herald chaser, of this town, designed the mounting as follows. The four corners on each side are after the Gothic, or old French (which is extremely well adapted to such work), and two centre prates, with two clasps, highly enriched. The motto will begin at the right hand corner, and finish in the centre of one side, with a double intersected triangle rayonce on the lower side of the book. The same is the arrangement of the corners on the upper side, and finish in the centre, with his lordship's coat of arms, mitre, &c. The clasps will also be pierced work, with a mitre upon each. We look forward to its completion with interest, and trust that Israel's friends will do their utmost to forward such a well merited testimonial. GuAilt - vrNG.—Sunday last was the half-yearly r7ze day at Christ Church Sunday School, and a more pleasing sight could not be witnessed. The girls and boys were arranged on'each side of the room, headed by their respec tive teachers : a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen occupied the platform. The curate (Rev. T. C. Cowan) distributed the prizes in a very pleasing manner; after which an appropriatehymn was sung by the children. Mr. Cowan then rose to address the teachers respecting a pre sent they had sent him the previous evening, but his feel ings overcame him, and after a second attempt to give ut terance to his sentiments, he was obliged to sit down.— The Rev. P. Ould then rose and addressed the assembly, stating how highly be was gratified at the harmony that existed among the teachers and children, and alluded to a Reference Bible and Prayer-book that had been presented to one of the teachers, in the morning, by the children of his class, as a proof of the kindly feeling existing among the children towards their teachers ; and, above all, he was highly gratified to see that the teachers had so much re spect and affection towards their clerical superintendent, as they evinced by the very handsome present they had made him, and for which he, in Mr. Cowan's name, re turned thanks. The present consisted of " Bagster's Hexapla." 4to, and " Horne's Introduction to a critical Study of the Scriptures," in five volumes, all splendidly bound in Turkey morocco, with suitable inscriptions. FATAL ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held yesterday, before Mr. Curry, the borough coroner, on view of the body of Thomas Warrington, a labourer, aged 39 years. It appeared that, about a fortnight ago, the deceased and some other men were engaged on the premises of Mr. Guthrie, dyewood-grinder, Bedford-street, in hoisting to its position a heavy wooden shaft. Deceased, while the shaft was in a perpendicular position, placed himself near it, and was advised by two of those with him to withdraw, lest an accident might occur, but he declined their admo nition, and the chain immediately afterwards having given way. the balk fell upon him, and severely injured him, breaking his thigh and hurting his head. He was taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died on Sunday night from the fracture of the thigh. Verdict—" Accidental death." _ . _ A I LUNG LOGICIAN.—VeriIy children do put strange questions to their papas and mammas, sometimes; to wit : —" Pa, why do you wear straps ?" "To keep my trou sers down, Jobn." " Pa, why do you wear braces ?" "To keep my trousers up, John." " Well, pa, that is funny." THE MERSEY YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of the members of this naw and rapidly-rising club was held on Tuesday evening last, at the club-room, Mersey Hotel, and was well attended, — the CommonoaE in the chair. The secretary, Mr. H. Melling, read the minutes of the previous meeting, and they were confirmed. A number of new members were ballotted for, and were all unani mously elected. The Commodore then read the names of thirty-one gentlemen for nomination, proposed either by themselves, or by members, including several noble men, and other distinguished individuals; also several yacht-owners and others, who from their experience and love of the art of fine sailing and building, will be a great acquisition to the club. It was also announced that seve ral new vessels were in course of building, to join the pre sent fleet, which, already, in our river alone, numbers about twelve fine yachts. The SECRETARY read a letter from Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., in which his lordship states, in the hand somest terms, that he will accept the office of Patron of the Club. His lordship's offer was very cordially re ceived, and the Secretary was instructed to convey to him the thanks of the meeting for his prompt and friendly attention to the invitation transmitted to him. Letters were then read from Lord Sandoni and Sir H. Douglas, our borough members, expressing their warmest wishes for the success of the club, and the pleasure they felt in becoming members of a society the objects of which were so truly national and important. A code of sailing regulations, which hid previously been carefully prepared by a committee, was read and approved. The closing day of the present season was next fixed for the 20th instant, on which occasion the yachts now " in commission " will make a trip down the river, and probably to the outer lightship.and back, start ing from the Rock Ferry. A number of very beautiful models of cutter yachts were then exhibited to the meeting by their talented and scientific constructor, Mr. Edward Melling, Professor of Naval Architecture at the Collegiate Institution in this town, and builder of the ship " William Sharples," and other very fast vessels of this port and others, They are all built from drafts as fine as engravings, after the most approved principles hitherto known or suggested,—the grand desideratum being that the vessels so constructed should carry the greatest possible quantity of sail with the least possible displacement, so as to ensure the utmost weatherliness and speed. Although, on a cursory view, these models appear to be nearly similar in form,- they will be found to be all very different in various points-, as suited to the proposed t onnage o f each. They rangs.frol 8 tons to 35, within which respective burthens, it is con sidered by experienced yachtmen, they would be best suited for pleasure or experiment in the waters of Our river and estuary. It should be remarked, however, that this proposition does not exclude contests at the annual races of the Club between vessels of a larger burthen, as on each sailing day, besides the Club sailing matches, w challenge cup will be given for an open race, in whicht yachts of a larger tonnage may compete. It vote of thanks was passed to the Secretary, and other officers and members, who had by their exertions brought the Club thus early tcrits present gratifying state of ad— vancement. Thanks were also heartily awarded to Mr. E. Melling for the pains and trouble he had taken in producing the models alluded to, for the encouragement and assistance of gentlemen who may determine to build. The Club now numbers upwards of seventy members, and as we doubt not but it will ere long he considered an ho nour to have been amongst the first to promote it, we would counsel all gentlemen who purpose to join it to make early application to the Secretary. The models above alluded to, and also a model of a larger one, of 52 tons burthen,. " a regular out.and-out clipper,"' may be seen at the office of this paper, as may also the beautiful drawings from which they were re spectively built. LAY LORDS. Lord Kenyon has addressed the following very sensible letter to the Stand;rd:—"Sir,—As the son of a law lord I have read with surprise the statements, reported in the newspapers of yesterday, of Lord Brougham and Lord Wharncliffe—namely, that law lords constitute the Court of Appeal in the House of Lords. I well remember an instance occurring, when Lord Loughborough, Chancel lor, Lord Thurlow, ex-Chancellor, and Lord Walsing ham constituted the house on judgment being given on an appeal. Lord Walsingham gave his vote with the Chan cellor. There must be three peers to constitute a house, and there being only two law lords-present, the vote of the lay peer, as they differed, must determine the judgment. To say that no lay peer ought to vote on any case of ap peal, might be to prevent any judgment whatever being given. It may be a matter of delicacy in what cases lay peers may determine whether they will vote or not ; and there can be no doubt that if they do so, they should try to enforce the best founded legal decision. Whether they have judged correctly in the case of O'Connell I will not presume to say. " I'have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient and'faithful servant, " Gredington, Sept. 6. " KENYON*" [An excellent letter appears in the Times of yesterday, in which the writer, makes the following just remarks : " If only men practised in criminal law are to vote, why speaks Lord Cottenham 1- A high Chancery authority, he is not a criminal lawyer. Did he ever conduct a criminal case? Did he ever adjudicate on one, except in this house in common with his peers, lay as well as law? Did he ever draw an indictment? Did he, in the course of practice. ever aive a- grave counsel's opinion on a criminal matter F. Would ever any attorney think for a moment of sending for his advice on a matter of this kind? Would be,.if this-point had issued from the Court of Chancery to be decided by the judges, have ventured to override such a preponderance of common law autho rity ? Compare the boldness of his language with that of Lord Brougham, who acquired the most brilliant part of his foren,ic reputation in the conduct of criminal cases, and yet, professing his inferiority in the extent of his criminal practice to that of others, says—' My lords, my practice at the bar has been much more limited in criminal cases than that of my learned here or elsewhere ; I felt bound, therekre, largely to consult authorities, and to have recourse to those who could supply my deficiencies.] Sir Howard Douglas and family are detained in town by the severe accident which recently happened to his son, Lieut. Douglas, of her majesty's ship Formidable, on account of which he has come home on Admiralty leave. THE WEATHER, though occasionally showery, has, on the whole, during the past week, been highly propitious for the harvest in this quarter. Very little of the corn crop remains on the ground, the whole, or nearly the whole, having been got under cover, and that, too, in prime condition. The effect has been, that the flour dealers have added another pound to the shilling's-worth, to the great satisfaction of housekeepers who have many mouths to fill. Potatoes still maintain rather high prices for low pockets, but, as the season is very favourabl e f or this useful and almost indispensable root, we anticipate a fall, as well as a good article,—for we have heard of few, and but very partial failures of the seed. The turnips look well, and there is a fine crop of after-grass; yet butchers' meat is still rather dear, verifying the old adage, Up horn—down corn." Vegetables and fruits are un usually abundant and cheap. ANSDELL'S PICTURE OF THE BOARD -ROOM MEETING OF THE BLUE COAT HOSPITAL.—We have been favoured, by an invitation of the artist, with a private view of Mr. Ansdell's painting of " The Board-room of the Liverpool Blue-Coat Hospital in 1841," and were much gratified, and not a little surprised, by the inspection. lt is of con siderable size, and represents with great fidelity the board-room of that admirable institution at the period when its warmest friends, in full assemblage, are seated or standing round the large table anxiously yet cheerfully engaged in listening to the claims of young orphans and others as candidates for admission to the benefits of the establishment. The room itself is finely and minutely de picted in true perspective, with the pictures on the walls of several of the earlier benefactors of the school. The principal portion, however, of the work is occupied by full length portraits of upwards of fifty of the trustees, in various easy attitudes, and the whole of the likenesses, both in face and figure, are so marked and characteristic as to be immediately recognised and acknowledged to be astonishingly perfect by all who have even a slight per sonal acquaintance with the living originals—the respected benefactors of this and other charities. The beholder finds himself in the immediate company of the Reverend Hectors Brooks and Campbell, the Rev. Thomas Bold, James Aspinall, (in his veritable accustomed sitting atti tude and pleasant expression of countenance,) Sir Thomas Brancker, Anthony Swainson, Richard Hollinshead Blun dell, Edw. Gibbon, S. Staniforth, Joseph Langton, Jas. Heyworth, William Brown, F. Haywood, Wm. Potter, Peter Bourne, Edw. G. Deane, Jno. Nelson Wood, Adam Hodgson, Henry Holmes, John H. Turner, Edw. Moon, George Withers, Wilfred Troutbeck, Henry Ashton, Jas. Pownall, Samuel H. Thompson, Chas. Inman, Edmund Molyneux, Samuel Sandbach, John Crostbwaite, Robert Gill, Thomas Corrie, James Crossley, Charles Horsfall, Nicholas Robinson, Esquires, and many others. There are also two fine portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Foster, the long respected head master and mistress of the establish ment. We noticed, too, Dr. Reynolds and Mr. King Ellison, the physician and surgeon to the institution. The correct drawing of the whole is only equalled by the co louring, which is warm and effective. We should cer tainly have preferred a slightly greater variety in the flesh tints, v hich appear to partake of a sameness ap proaching to ruddy ; but this we do not remark as a fault, as it resolves itself into the peculiar style of the artist ; or the glow of health he has perhaps properly imparted to the countenance of each of his subjects; or it may be the natural effect of the manner in which the light is thrown into the room, when it has frequently this effect, particu larly if window drapery be introduced. Independently of the intrinsic merits of the picture as a work of art, it de rives additional and affecting interest from the fact that it is intended by the artist as a present to the trustees, " itz (as he modestly states) gralrful remembrance of the be nefits received whilst he teas a pupil in the institution." What nobler or more gratifying testimony of the excel lence of that institution than this instance of one who, when lowly and deprived of natural protectors, was nur tured and taught within its precincts, and who when, after many years, and the attainment of high eminence in his honourable and difficult vocation, thus comes forward with this offering of the fruits of his genius —at once a delicate and noble testimony of his gratitude, and of those excellent instructions in his boyhood, which have regula ted him in after life, and laid the foundation of his suc cess ! The picture was viewed by a great number of the friends of the charity, while it remained in the board room, which it so admirably depicts. It has since been sent to the Liverpool Gallery for public exhibition, where it will doubtless, on th e open i ng, b ecome an, object of much local intercat and attraction. Sept. H, 1844. MANC H ESTER.—MoNDAT NIGHT. CO MMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.—Our market during the whole of last week may be reported as quiet, with bat very little inquiry after goods or yarns. In the early PaL t of the week there appeared to be rather more activity la the purchase of yarns than at the close of the preceding week ; but it soon dwindled down to indifference on the part of buyers, and prices beg an t o g i ve way a li tt l e , an continued to bear a downward tendency to the end of the week. There are at present some few orders in town for twist of midling qualities suited to the foreign market , but these order s are no t very numerous. The shiPPi n houses are dull, but h o p es are enterta i ned that a goad foreign trade will be done in the fall. The non-arrival of the Overland Mail has very materially affected transaa° tions in goods and yarns suited to the Indian market* and caused no little alarm in the minds of some of O f merchants. It is said that some commission houses bal large order s t o execu t e on account of Indian houses, a n that they are waiting until the mail arrives with further advices. In goods suited to the home market a pretty fair amount of business is doing, which is occasioned by the prospects of an abundant harvest, which, it is hoped , will materially improve the condition or the operatives , and stay all further agitation on the corn laws, and that' therefore, confidence may be expected to remain la' shaken. Tnz SHARE MARKET.—The business done during the week is on a limited scale, except in some few rally's/ transactions. The market t , )-day is particularly inanimate , and all kinds of stock up to this hour are heavy of sale. RAILWAY EXCUILSIONS.—The directors of the Mao' . chester and Birmi ng h am Railwa are adopting a libe ra l plan of m anag i ng th e i r li ne. Y esterday morning upvrerl', of 4,500 passengers were taken to Alderly and back for nine pence each 1 The people behaved with grearP?" priety, enjoyi ng th emse l ves on the hill side, which the di ' rectors have rented for the accomodation of those 1 09 Y travel by their line of rails. PUBLIC WALKS.—The subscription to this undertalv ing proceeds very well. The secretary wrote to Sir IV , Peel on the subject, soliciting his aid and support. Yell' terday morning an answer was received from the premier enclosing a subscription of £l,OOO. The Queen Dowager was expected at Witley Court yes terday. Her Majesty intends to remain some time.

ANOTHER ISR:ABLITE ADDED TO THE CHVELCH OF CHRIST.--On Wednesday last the Rev. Moses MeV liouth received a Jew, whose faith stood the test of severe trials, into the congregation of Christ's flock, 10 ; the sacred ordinance of baptism, which he performed at St. Augustine's Church. . BRISTOL DOCK COMPANY.—A general meeting of this company was held at the White Lion, on Friday, for n , the purpose of taking int o , consideratio the propriety of widening the south en t rance l oc k of Cumberland basin - The recommendation of the directors to widen the lock to 54 feet was adopted. The drawings exhibit a lock of 54 feet in width by 245 in length, capable of admitting a ves: sel of the length of 211 feet above the water-line; or 237 feet from stem to stern ; and with the improvement suggested by Mr. Brunel, by sloping the wall towards the top, a steamer of 62 feet can be admitted. M r . Brunei isiof opinion that the cost will not exceed £22,000, to repair the present lock would require £17,000. DR. MURRAY AND REPEAL.—" Pontifical Hig h Masses" and solemn Te Deanas were said and sung In all the Romish chapels in Dublin on Sunday last, Arch' bishop Murray officiating at the Church, of the ConceP' tion in Marlborough -street. Better taste. if not better feeling, was expected from the anti-repealing - titular. Til e Dublin Mail has the following brief but apposite re' marks on " his Grace's" adhesion :—" Dr. Murray—th e anti-repealing Dr. Murray—the Dr. Murray who re. fused to sanction th e d a y o f h um ili at i on and prayer -Ip' Archbishop Murray who dines with Lord Heytesburr" has now come out in his true colours, and gives the sane" tion of the highest offices of his idolatry to the agitation for repeal, and to the public triumph,over justice." GRVLTIFYING CELEBRATION. —Last week the hale eventof the birth of a son and heir of the Rev. B. Ba„n . ' ping, vicar of W e lli ng t on , S a l op, was celebrated by the inhabitants of that place with great rejoicing. A commit tee was formed for the purpose of raising subscriptions; and they expended the amount on the substantialities of life, which were generously distributed amongst the poor' Twenty-seven sheep wore slaughtered, and given proP° l ' tionatelyalong with two hundred sixpenny loaves, ale r bcer' and plum pudding to as many poor families. Two hull dyed threepenny cakes along with a quantity of tea' - sugar, _and cream were distributed amongst poor women' and the children in the schools were regaled with bunt &c. A , procession was formed, which proceeded throng , ' the town, and afterwards presented an address of conga; tulation and regard to the rev. vicar, all the shops an d houses being decorated with flags and banners. The reverend gentleman is intimately connected with the filing)" of our present post-master, and is no doubt known t e many ofour readers, havin g f or some time officiated at St. John's Church, in this town. THE LEAGUE AND THE REGISTRATION.—We noticed' a fortnight ago, in a letter from our Manchester corre 9- pondent, the nefarious conduct of the Anti-Corn-La vr League, displayed in the num b er , an d the indisoriniingq: character of the objecti ons w hi c h h a d b een served • by ale' now ge4. hired agents upon the cou n ty e l ec t ors.
