THERE is nothing more amusing than the attempt to imitate a great coup in which an original genius has suc ceeded. This is especially true when the act is one of a quasi-dramatic nature, such as that which the two Jews, Rothschild and Salomons, have been attempting in the House of Commons. They foolishly fancy they can come up to the perfection of Daniel O'Connell, the greatest mountebank of modern times. We all remember the story 'of Burke throwing down the dagger on the floor of the House of Commons. It was a performance that pre te could hardly have approved outside Richard- son's booth ; but the country member improved upon it who proposed to make a pathetic speech on negro slavery, and at the top of a climax to fling down a nigger on the floor. Rothschild and Salomons have been imitating Dan with equal grace to that of the county member and Burke. Rothschild presented himself, and was bowed out ; and the corrupt Government have since per- mitted the City of London to remain unrepresented ; but old Salomons determined to make a greater flourish still. At his election he used the unfortunate but suggestive simile that Rathschild had " allowed himself to be hung door of the House of Commons as the scarecrow of civil and religious liberty." This is as good as the barrister's trope, that " the defendant stood up at ti ke a croco- 1 his hands in his breeches' pockets, shedding ' Such is the eloquence the House has lost by the refusal of the Jew alderman ; but David was not to be ousted without at least doing more than being " hung up at the door." He was, like another respectable Hebrew —" the choice of the people"—that is to say, the venal and corrupt riff-raff of Greenwich and Woolwich, and he was pl He has done , he pro- he wishes to tell us so. Then he ought to " out with it" candidly, like poor Robbie Burns when he sings— Sae far, I've doitered up the bill, I've dinner'd wi' a Lord. That dinner of Burns's, by the way, should be immortal, for Lord Daer's superciliousness to the poet produced that charter song of freedom— " A man's a man for a' that." However, Thackeray thinks a m an i s no t a man if h e i s outside the ranks of the haute voile, and really the aris tocracy may be readily pardoned for keeping literary snobs at arm's length. That sort of cattle is divisible into two classes—one whose feelers are always extended in the desire to be insulted ; fellows who say, " I am a literary man, to be sure, but you need not lock up your spoons." I would as soon associate with a Radical orator or a bum bai liff as one of these. The other class are very good fellows, who always have " a good work on the stocks, for which John Murray will give £1000," and wind up by borrowing £5. The conceit of certain low-bred Cockneys, whom one could name, and who have made a little name in literature, is most amusing. That too is disagreeable to those that are " to the manner born" of good society. But the real secret of literary position is this—that the profession has no safeguard. It is a common on which the first donkey can graze who gets possession, and that being so it cannot in England (at least yet awhile) be held to be a qualification to enter the exclusive ranks of high society. In fine ,Mr. Thackeray has done nothing by his lectures, either for the position of literature or of himself. He thinks literary men ought to " pay their debts"—no doubt and all other men ; but as poor Gen. M'Mahon graphically said, " Soloman was a wise man, and Samp son was strong, but neither of 'em could pay money when they hadn't it."—the case of Mr. Thackeray's poorer brethren. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS Monday Night, The following is an extract from the excellent bi monthly circular of Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co., published to-day, and we cannot do better than withhold any remarks of our own in order to make room for the observations of that experienced firm ; We have still to regret our inability to report an improved state of matters in our produce markets. Everything has con tinued as lifeless throughout the fortnight as for months pre vious. There appears scarcely an article of which there are not more sellers than buyers, and consequently prices remain depressed; and until importers will attend more to the extent of shipments to this country and supplies fall off, we really can see little hope of improvement.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, ask the favour of a small space in your columns to reply to some remarks made on my personal conduct and political principles fn the Liverpool Times of Thurs day last. I am charged with making an impertinent attack on. Mr. William Brown, one of the members for South Lan cashire. . Comparisons are odious ; but were I to institute one on the present occasion, I might have little difficulty in showing that I am quite as capable of observing and appreciating the courtesies of life and the rules of good breeding 'as your contemporary, who displays the refined elegance of his polished feelings by heading his article " Currency Quackery", and stigmatising my doctrine as " currency nostrums". If his readers prefer coarse lan guage to logical argument and historical research, he is eminently qualified for his editorial chair.' It is not, however, the Currency but the Protectionist opinions that I have uttered which have annoyed the Times, and he is driven to the greatest misrepresentations to sustain the views of his party when writing about our exports to and our imports from the United States. He tells his readers that, " in the month of June this year the city of New York sent to Liverpool 1,237,588 dollars of produce, and received 3,684,022 dollars' worth of ma. nufactured goods in the same month." On this statement, it must be observed, that the city of New York imports nearly for the whole Union, and from it the goods are distributed to the Southern, Western, and Northern markets. The editor of the Times ought to know this, he ought also to know that the exports from New York do not represent the exports of the United States, since New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, Charles ton, including Virginia in tobacco, are the chief exporting places. In my remarks on Mr. Brown, which are described as "impertinent," I used no single word affecting his cha racter or position as a merchant ; but I contended that his commercial interests were diametrically opposed to those of the county he represents in the British Parlia ment—that, in fact, his intereats were as foreign as the goods in which he deals. I have asked, and I repeat the question through your columns, whether Mr. Brown has not declined, for thirty years, giving a single package of Manchester goods, passing through his hands, to a British vessel to take to New York ; and whether, when Cunard's gigantic effort of science took away a portion of the goods, Mr. Brown did not lead the opposition line of American steamers, to deprive the British steamers of the advantage they had acquired ? Unless these questions are answered in the negative, am I not justified in saying that Mr Brown is rather the repro senative of New York than of South Lancashire ? Has he not been actively instrumental in reducing the employment of our me chanics and artisans engaged in shipbuilding, and also of British seamen. Certainly, I have no right to censure Mr. Brown for acting in this manner, as an American merchant ; neither have I ever done so ; but I have a right to say, that no man who is American in his pecuniary interests ought to represent South Lancashire, or Liver pool, or, indeed, any British constituency. I will go further, and declare, that Mr. Brown is entirely in a false position in giving his vote in the House of Commons on all subjects which affect our relations with_ the United States and the best advice of his best friends would recommend him at once to resign a seat for which, I am confident, he will never be re-elected ; for even the patriotism and nationality of free traders, whose love of country I do not call in question, will withhold the suffrage once given in error of the real facts of the case.— I am, sir, your obedient servant, JONATHAN DUNCAN. THE IRISH RIOTS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. hence the heat in " all the blood of all the Howards." Of course this statement would be immediately contra dicted by the dupes, but it has the advantage of being true, and has ended in the retirement of the Duke of Nor folk's son from the family borough of Arundel, and the return of that ancient campaigner, Edward Strutt, not Jack, who was " too much for Buckingham," but the rustic admirer of the woods and forests. The condition of society in Oxford is at present really fearful. Those who are interested in learning and the Church, must set about devising some means of restraining the extravagance that is encouraged by the frightful gang of bill-discounters and shop-keepers who live upon the unfor:unate undergraduates, or rather on their more unfortunate parents. The avowed and acknowledged occupation of " money-lending" seems to flourish more than any other trade. The fellows who pursue it are a regularly organised confederacy, allied with a number of London Jew Attornies ; and, since the passing of the County Courts Acts, these Jew Attornies have found their London business exceedingly flimsy. They cannot extort the dreadful costs they were once accustomed to receive, and Oxford and Cambridge turn up as the next proper places for robbing the rising generation. There could be very little objection, one would fancy, to make the Uni versities, or rather the persons in stalu pupilarii exceptions to the usual laws, and to take away altogether the power of arresting such ; for the bill-discounters hate nothing so much as " privilege,"—whether of Parliament or anything, else. The deplorable case of a young man, the son of a clergyman, who now stands convicted of a charge of forgery, made by a person whose evidence the judge characterised as infamous,—a Jew, who had tried to urge the foolish boy as a " decoy duck," and then destroyed him, added to the case of Caudwell, at the present assizes, surely show that the course I speak of ought at once to be taken. Do not call me: a Goth, or a Barbarian, or any other of the names with which the flatterers of a certain personage compliment those who differ from them, if I say that the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests have been carry ing their adoration for the " Crystal Palace," as the big greenhouse is called, a little too far. The positive oppression of the Queen's subjects, for the purposes of the convenience of the Exhibition, would certainly not be attempted at St. Petersburgh. There are many cases like that of the poor old woman Hicks, whose deplorable state bas come before the public—creatures thrown out of their paltry livelihood by the necessities of the Exhibition—but the evil has spread a great deal farther, and the functions of Parliament seem to have been totally superseded. The Commissioners of Police have withdrawn the license, or rather caused it to be withdrawn, of 800 cabmen, for alleged private bad character. Fouche dare have ventured on no act so barbarous ; and the feeling arising about it will not be easily suppressed without a Parliamentary explanation. The cabmen, doubtless, have a good crop of vices ; but espionage is not much liked in England, and the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police have, ever since 1848. and the Chartist alarm, quite forgotten themselves. The dismissal of these men and their chil dren to starvation, has not been for any crimes of which they are publicly convicted, but for supposed impro prieties of which the Commissioners are to judge. In fact, between the Woods and Forests and the Police, we Cockneys are simply at present under the despotism of paid servants of the Crown. There is no longer any doubt that it is the intention of Lord John Russell's Government to dissolve, and imme diately on the return of the new Parliament resign ; but among the many small clap-traps preceding the dissolution will be one of pardoning all the Irish state prisoners. smith O'Brien's scuffle in the cabbages of Widow Cor mack did nobody any injury, and the Whigs will throw a last sop to the Irish Papists by pardoning him and all the others who tried to make "The Queen's crown by one kingdom less." In literature we have little novelty, all the publishers declaring, as, indeed, almost all persons in trade do, that the Great Exhibition has decidedly interfered with their operations. In the meantime, however, the small lights of our modern literature are teaching, viva voce, what they hare hitherto done in monthly numbers. Mr. Thackeray, who has been for about twenty years a labo rious litterateur, in the description of the lesser manners and morals, and a sort of refined and graphic caricaturist of high life, has just concluded his lectures on the humo rists of the last century, in which he has shown too truly bow easily a man may be a fair enough writer but a bad critic—an exact specimen of Critics of less judgment than caprice, Curious, not knowing, not exact, but nice. Surely a man must have been sadly misled to set him self in the chair of criticism, who tells us that Swift's peculiar characteristics were all English—that the Dra per's letters, for instance, in reading which you almost fancy you can hear " the brogue," are peculiarly English in their style. He might as well have added that they were English in their opinions. Mr. Thackeray (as might be expected of a man wleocondetnned Swift) had much praise for Fielding. Now,upose lam a great heretic, but never could find i n Tom l Jones anything but obsce nity, blasphemy, and monotony, fo w o l o tlp one solitary spark of interest. The rollicking Smollett glosses over or palliates his impunities, but Fielding r I think as stupid as he is immoral. Of Sterne's choarcterratrerr. Thackeray's estimate was, I think, unfair, a without proof, but of his ability the less said the better . ' It is well known now that the parade of learning in Tris tram Shandy was stolen from that strangest of all books, Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, and the story of Sterne's book is nothing, and its moral worsethan nothing. I have not the least sympathy with Mr. Thackeray's assurances that literary men are not looked down upon by the aristocracy. Mr. Warren's hero, Aubrey, may weep that he is not going to dine with the nobility ; but, if the beef and beer were of a sound quality, the absence of stars and garters ought not to break a sensible man's heart. The fact is literary men are looked down u p on b y the highest classes if they have no claim extrinsically to be of their order ; and Mr. Thackeray, to use Sir James Graham's famous phrase, " knows the reason why." He himself has got into a certain class of high society, and for exportation. The woollen manufacturers are fully employed, and stocks in the hands of importers are light. Our Sharemarket has been severely dept.( ssed this week, not, however, from the pressure of actual sales, but solely horn the operations of the lower descriptions of dealers in whose hands the market has been during the last few days. To-day, we have had good buying of Midlands ; Leeds and Dovers to same extent ; and the market altogether exhibits a healthy tone.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE NEW IRON STEAM SHIP ORONTES. On Friday last, a party of about fifty gentlemen inter ested in the progress of commerce, embarked on board the screw-steamer Orontes, for the purpose of testing her sailing and steaming qualities. As the noble craft (the largest ever built for the trade) passed from the dock to the river, her appearance was a theme of admiration amongst gazing crowds witnessing her departure. There is a rakish nobility in her appearance almost indescribable. She sits on the water with the graceful elegance of a clipper yacht ; indeed she presented a sight that the highest ima nation alone can picture. The Orontes, by extreme mea surement, is 210 feet, and has a beam of 28 feet. Her bows are drawn out as fine as a wedge, and, to admit the water unbroken to the screw, her run is carried well for ward, making her as clean as a knife aft. She has a good rise of floor with ample bearings, and her side, free from the eye-sore of a paddle-box, is handsomely rounded. Surmounting the stem is a splendidly carved figure of an eastern sylph, in the rich attire of the Turkish clime ; and on the trail board, in relieved gold, is emblazoned the word " Orontes." Her quarters, too, are bedecked with elaborate scroll-work and foliage. Her beauty is not alone external : her cabins, which are beneath the quarter-deck, are 68 feet long, and are not only magnificently but sub stantially fitted. The panelling forming the state-rooms, which are arranged for two or more berths, are of oak, boldly relieved with mouldings, and interspersed with carvings of fruit, flowers, &c. The ceiling is white and gold, forming a strong contrast with the rich upholstery of crimson velvet. Each state-room is separately lighted and ventilated, and the whole cabin is lighted by stern ports and three large octagon cupolas, which also form ventilators. Here, on the stained-glass, the most inter esting subjects of Egypt and the Holy Land are portrayed with artistic taste ; the warm tone of colouring, heightened by the transparency, renders the paintings brilliantly effective. The Orontes is 760 tons register, and has, ex clusive of engine and boiler space, a capacity of 538 tons. In point of strength, this ship need not be excelled : her plating is of more than the usual thickness, and she is double-rivetted throughout. The bends, to give addi tional strength, are plated edge to edge, with a strong liner inside, secured with four tier of rivets.. The frame of the Orontes is of reversed angle iron. She is also strengthened by numerous watertight compartments. The Orontes is propelled by a screw of 13 feet 3 inches in diameter, which is driven by a pair of 75-horse power direct-acting engines, with inverted cylinders placed im mediately over the screw shaft. The peculiarity, and we may say one of the many beauties, in these engines is, that instead of one piston rod, they have two, which allows the lower portion of the cylinder to be hollowed in a conical form, so that the bead of connecting rod and the connection itself works into the cylinder, thus gaining at least 2 feet 6 inches, which may either be given to the connecting rod, the stroke, or the dead weight may be brought that distance lower down in the vessel. To re duce the amount of friction, the working parts are all case-hardened, and finished to the nicety of watch-work. Should the engines not be required, the screw is so arranged that it can be disconnected in a moment, and thus enable the ship to steer under canvas alone. The cylinders are 48 inches in diameter, and the length of stroke is 2 feet 10 inches. The boilers are on the most approved construction, and contain 335 brass tubes, 7 feet long end 31 inches in diameter. The engines and boilers are made by Mr. B. Hick, of Bolton, who, though he has already turned out some of the best marine work extant, has in this instance excelled himself. At about ten minutes past three the Orontes left the Rock Light, and at eight the same evening anchored in the Beanmaris Bay, haying worked easily, to avoid the bearings heating. After a splendid dinner several toasts were proosed ; amongst them " the Owners," " the Builders," and "the Captain," all of which were appro priately responded to. The following morning the party visited Beaumaris, Bangor, and the tubular bridge. At a quarter-past eleven the Orontes was again got under way, and was off Point Lynas Light in one hour and five mi nutes ; thus making, against a flood tide, a speed of over eleven miles per hour. After leaving Holyhead the screw was disconnected, and she made, with a moderate breeze, under canvas, about eight knots per hour, reaching Kings town Harbour at a few minutes to eight eight o'clock on Saturday. At a quarter-past six on Sunday evening she left Kingstown, and arrived off the Rock yesterday morn ing, at half•past five, making the passage (123 miles) in 111 hours—a speed with the screw that we believe has not hitherto been attained. The company, after an absence of three days, did not land without expressing their high opinion of the ship and their thanks to the captain and her owners. A finer vessel never floated. The Orontes was built at Dumbarton, by Messrs. A. Denny and Bother, for the Mediterranean trade. She is consigned to, and, we be lieve, owned by, Messrs. Jas. Moss and Co., of this town, and is the second vessel of a fleet they are building. She is placed under the command of Capt. Bulkeley, late of the Nile, a gentleman whose courteous and urbane manner is only exceeded by his ability as a seaman. We have no fear of this enterprise proving successful. MR. ROEBUCK.—We are sorry to find, by the Sheffield Independent, that Mr. Roebuck, M.P., has met with a somewhat serious accident. It appears that some ten days ago the honourable member was amusing himself with his N ew f oun dl an d d og, an d was f e i gn i ng to throw a stick, when the dog, eagerly springing to seize the stick, caught Mr. Roebuck's hand in his , mouth, and severely lacerated the mus c l es o f t h e t h um b . Thi s i n j ur y, ac ting upon a highly nervous temperament, produced for some days very unfavourable symptoms ; and though we are happy to learn that they have abated, Mr. Roebuck is still under the necessity o f avo i d i ng excitement as ranch as possible. SlR,—The Liverpool Mercury of Friday, in an article upon this subject, does a great injustice to the Orangemen of Liverpool. He asserts that a green ribbon on St. Pa trick's day enrages an Orangeman the same as an orange ribbon on the 12th July maddens an Irishman ; that upon each of these days the peace of the town is disturbed by riots and•collisions ; and that, therefore, increased power should be given to the magistrates to stop these exhibi tions of party strength and folly. If, he says, they would each consent to allow the other to walk on their favourite days unmolested, then the public might tolerate the nui sance so long as it was peaceable and harmless. Now, Sir, I am no Orangeman, but I am an English man and a lover of fair-play. I therefore protest against this mingling of the Orangemen in such an indiscriminate manner with the Irish rioters. The Orangemen did allow the Irishmen to walk for some years unmolested : they did not provoke the unfortunate riot of Monday ; for the Irishmen came deliberately to their place of meeting with the acknowledged purpose of committing a breach of the peace. I say that, so far as the Orangemen are con cerned, no breach of the peace would have occurred on Monday, or did occur on the last 17th March, or the one previously. All the skirmishes that have taken place have been on the 12th July, and have uniformly been commenced by a designed attack of a collected body of Irishmen on the members of the Orange Society. Such conduct on the part of these men, above all, is outrageous : for though strangers to our land, and haters of our reli gion as they are, they are permitted to make the most ostentatious display of their party colours and repugnant sentiments ; and yet when our own countrymen claim the exercise of the same privilege in the same place, and that the place where most of them were born, these obligated dastards—proof against every noble and grateful feeling— growl with a cur-like courage, and raise their unholy cries with a hideous zest, for the savage work of blood-spilling. Let the Editor of the Mercury go and revise his article, and see if there should not, in justice, be a distinction, with a difference too. If these processions cannot take place without these unfortunate consequences, I would— as earnestly as the Mercury—counsel the suppression of them altogether; at the same time, I would not forget through whose virulence and viciousness it was that I was stripped of what I esteemed a social privilege, and of what I prized as part of my chartered liberty.—l am, &c., AN ENGLISHMAN. THE ROMISH DOCTRINE OF INTENTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR,—At last we are getting very near the plain truth. A priest, of Father Newman's Oratory, at Birmingham, has come forth in a letter to Aris's Birmingham Gazette, and candidly confessed that the priest's intention, in the plain natural sense of the word, is requisite to the validity of a sacrament, and that the laity must just " trust" them for having it ! The work is getting light for us when Romish contro versialists knock one another down in this unceremonious manner. Father Noble pronounces it " a gross calumny" upon " Catholic doctrine," to assert the necessity of any such intention on the priest's part as cannot be certainly known by others, and declares that a priest " could not" (unless he were drunk or mad, or his tongue forced to utter the words against his will) perform a sacrament without such intention as the Church of Rome requires ; inasmuch as she only requires him to intend the outward act, not to intend " conferrino a sacrament !" What must be his horror at finding one of Dr. Newman's own staff not only publicly admitting this " gross calumny" to be true Catholic doctrine, appealing to " common sense" in its behalf, asserting that it must be so, " of course," and that the denial of it would reduce the priest to a " cast-iron automaton," but also acknowledging that " the difficulties" I have " raised" are " necessarily in cidental" to it !! This is what Romanists mean by unity and infallibility. The letter, of which a copy is subjoined, having only just come to hand, I must reserve any further observa tions upon it for a second letter to Dr. Newman, next week.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant. SAMUEL MINTON. Liverpool, July 21, 1851. TO THE EDITOR OF ARIS E S GAZETTE SIR,-It is rather hard upon Dr. Newman to be called upon, not to answer objections drawn to the arguments lie is putting forth in his present course of lectures, which certainly might be fairly claimed of him, but to meet all the side attacks with which be may be assailed by gentlemen like Mr. Minton, skilled in the Guerilla Warfare" of the Protestant cause. Guerilla champions must be content with Guerilla antago nists; and, as such, I will try to meet our very confident assailant, who has invented an engine of war, so formidable, that he is persuaded that by its help alone he will be able to terminate the theological contest. Strange, too, that at this time of day there should be any new mode of attack, which has not been used against us a thousand times already. Surely, if the incumbent of St. Silas's (as he calls himself, all Saints being sinners) would look into any controversial writer, he would find the objection a very trite one, having been over and over again answered and explained. Let me assure him that the doctrine of" Intention" never has agitated the minds of Catholics as -he asserts in his pamphlet, and never will agitate them more than the subject of "Original Sin," or any other part of the Catholic doctrine; in fact. I think there are few things which every Catholic, as well as every Church Protestant, so habitually takes for granted, and trusts that every sensible man will take for granted also. Mr. Minton presents us with his pamphlets on Intention as a specific for Popery in every possible shape. Now new in ventions, as well for wholesale destruction as for wholesale cure, carry very little weight with thinking people, though they may raise an excitement for the moment; the fact is, common sense resists them. If, however, what Mr. Minton says is true, farewell all the thousand and one missiles of the Tract Society; they are become wholly unnecessary. Popery is defunct; "Intention" has done for it. And why? Because Catholics hold that Sacraments are not valid, without the intention of the Priest to celebrate them, and therefore it is urged they can never be sure of their validity, and in consequence never can be sure of having received the means of salvation. What is this but objecting that there can be no proper sacra ments, because Priests do not cease to be men, but . when they act must act like other men, and are not mere cast-iron auto matons, but must intend to do what they do. Of course they must. If we did not take for granted a man's intention, who would know what any one does ? When a nian undertakes to do a certain known act, it is presumed by all men that he does that act, and not another. It is the intention which distin guishes acts externally alike. The acts of Confirmation and Ordination according to the Anglican usage are almost iden tical ; what makes the difference between them except the intention of the administrator ? For no Anglican holds that the particular prayers are necessary for the administration of the one or the other rite. It was this identity of outward ceremonies which gave the point to a joke of Mr. Macaulay, the historian, who used to say, in order to puzzle good church folks, that he had been ordained, because he had been con firmed. The fact is, that in all these things we go by common sense. It is common sense to trust each other. My cook may poison me, but it is common sense to trust him. Such is the common judgment of men, and the Church of God, though a Divine Institution, is a Church of men ; what is supernatural does not supersede what is.natural, but uses it, and as we trust each other in matters of business, so do we in Church matters. Mr. Minton evidently thinks it likely to take place that Catholic priests would withhold their intention in celebrating the sacraments; now, I .can _tell that all Catholic priests THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1851. would feel it in their own case to be a horrible sin, such as none but an Infidel or Devil in human shape would commit, it would be, as far as the priest's power went, spiritual murder. It is, therefore, as unlikely as murder. The Catholic priest would feel it as great a sin to withhold his intention as Mr. Minton to commit murder. This I say as far as the priest is concerned ; for if we grant it actually to have ever taken place as Mr. M. supposes, still even then after all malevolence could not secure the death of its victim ; for, in default of the ordinary means, God would assuredly provide for the person's salvation by conferring the grace necessary in some extraordinary way. If Mr. Minton wishes to see more evidently the inconse quence of his argument, let him consider the case of a judge obliged to trust witnesses when their veracity involves the life or death of the accused. How can a judge decide except he takes for granted that men of good character will not perjure themselves ? It is a maxim without which society could not exist, that every man is presumed to speak the truth unless he is a notorious liar; and even then he is believed, unless his interest lies another way. I may propose to Mr. Minton the following syllogism in an swer to his : Since my cook may mean to poison me. If, on the one hand, I believe in the honest intention of my cook, I may be poisoned; If, on the other hand, I do not believe him, I must starve; Therefore-1 must either be poisoned or starve. And now I will only add, in conclusion, that if what I have said seem to Mr. Minton insufficient to meet the difficulties he has raised—difficulties to which all human action are neces sarily incidental—l must refer him to a celebrated divine of his own Church, the learned Mr. Hooker, in whose great work on Ecclesiastical Polity ;book v. cap. Lvi 11, sec. 3,) he will find these words with reference to the intention of the Minister in the Sacraments:— "Furthermore, because definitions are to express but the most immediate and nearest parts of nature, whereas other principles farther off, although not specified in defining, are notwithstanding in nature implied and presupposed, we must note that inasmuch as sacraments are actions religious and mystical, which nature they have not, unless they proceed from a serious meaning, and what every man's private mind is, as we cannot know, so neither are we bound to examine; there fore always in these cases the known intent of the Church generally doth suffice ; and where the contrary is not manifest, we may presume that he which outwardly doth the work hath inwardly the purpose of the Church of God. . _ _ Hoping you will excuse the length of this letter, I am, sir, your obedient servant, AMBROSE ST. JOHN, Priest of the Oratory. CHESHIRE NEWS. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The arbitra tors appointed to decide the remuneration to be paid to this company for the conveyance of the mails during the period antecedent to the completion of the Britannia bridge.have recently made their award. it is stated that Captain Williams, Royal Engineers, the arbitrator on the part of the Post-office, fixed the amount at £ll,OOO ; but the umpire, Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P., decided the award at £28,000. CHILD STEALING.—A man named John Haywood, from Liverpool, charged with stealing an orphan child eight years of age, who has been brought up by Luke Lyons, the noted chimney sweep, in Boughton, has been committed for trial at the next sessions. Haywood had seen the child in the town and enticed it away, but Mrs. Lyons, who, notwithstanding her husband's humble vo cation, seems to have been much attached to the orphan, ascertaining how matters stood, immediately started off in pursuit of Haywood, and traced him as far as Tarvin, where he was apprehended with the child in his custody. SHREWSBURY AND CHES rER RAILWAY.—An ad journed meeting of the shareholders of this company was held on Wednesday, in Chester, for the purpose of con firming or rejecting the proposed agreement for amalga mation in January, 1856, with the Great Western Company, and for an interim arrangement with that company ; Mr. J. Williams in the chair. The agreement between the company and the Great Western Company having been read, a long and angry discussion followed, in the course of which several amendments were proposed, one of which was that the meeting should be adjourned to the 16th of August, for the purpose of allowing the share holders time to consider the agreement. After a pro tracted meeting a poll took place, which resulted in a majority 10,791 votes in favour of the motion of the chair man. ALLEGED DAMAGE TO PROPERTY BY A RAILWAY COMPANY.—An action, King v. Birkenhead, Lancashire and Cheshire Railway Company, was tried on Monday last week, before Mr. Hostage, under sheriff of Cheshire, at the Monk's Ferry Hotel ; Mr. Brandt appearing for defendants, and Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., for plaintiff. It appeared that Mr. King advanced £20,000 on mortgage of lands adjacent to the Birkenhead and Cheshire Junction Railway, and he sued to recover £7,000 as compensation for damage done to his land by the line being formed so as to destroy the frontage, and otherwise depreciate the value of his property. Mr. Picton, Mr. Culshaw, and other architects of this town and neigh bourhood, and several other witnesses were called for the plaintiff. Mr. Brandt addressed the jury for the defendants, mainly resting his defenceon the fact that compensation had already been paid by the company. He then called several witnesses, amongst whom were Mr. S. Holme, who deposed to the value of the land ; Mr. Bancroft, the chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Lloyd, the secretary, and Mr. Lister the engineer of the company, and Mr. William Cole, of Birkenhead, who detailed to the circumstances in connexion with the previous purchase of the land. Mr. Blair, who acted as assessor, having summed up, the jury at half-past ten o'clock returned a verdict for the defen dants. The inquiry lasted nearly ten hours. FREEMASONRY.:—The brethren of the Cestrian Lodge, 615, enjoyed, on Tuesday last, a most delightful treat from their worthy and hospitable master, Sir W. W. Wynn, M.P., the so-called " Prince of Wales," a descen dant of one of the kings of Cambria, known as the Prince of Snowdon. The members of the above lodge, according to the, invitation from the worthy baronet, met at the Chester station at a quarter to eleven o'clock, a.m., to be in readiness for the eleven o'clock train for Ruabon. Having arrived there, the brethren were escorted to in spect the contents of the princely residence in all the diversified departments, the unanimous and sincere excla mation of the guests being, " Well may Sir William Watkin Wynne be named the Prince of Wales." Having seen all that is to be seen in the majestic and gorgeous hall, the carriages were again ordered, and the brethren were driven off to enjoy from different points of view the matchless Vale of Llangollen. About two o'clock, p.m., they met for luncheon at a magnificent mansion, bearing the modest name of " Cottage," from whence they pro ceeded to the " Tower of Waterloo," called thus because it was erected in commemoration of the battle of Water ioo. Having done with sight-seeing, the brethren once more returned to Wynnstay-hall, and after spending an hour in the drawing-room, admiring several beautiful paintings, about seven o'clock dinner was announced. The brethren then proceeded to the large dining-ball, and took their seats. The chaplain having said grace, the operative part of the masonic entertainment commenced, which was sumptuous in every sense of the word. The brethren separated about two o'clock the following morn ing. highly delighted with Sir W. W. Wynne as worship ful master of the Cestrian Lodge. The Queen has granted a license to the Rev. Peter Browne, late curate of Christ Church, in this town, and at present incumbent of Blackrod, near Bolton, to take the name of William before his surname of Browne, in compliance with the will of his father, who devised to him extensive landed property. DARING BURGLARIES..—Between Saturday night and yesterday morning no less than a dozen offices in Rumford place were entered by thieves; but owing to the practice so common in this town of sending cash of any serious amount to a place of security during the night, the rogues were, to'some extent, disappointed. They, however, suc ceeded in carrying off a sum of money slightly exceeding £2O. Mr. Maskell, who lately passed from the side of the Bishop of Exeter and went to Rome, is said to be labour ing under the same difficulties which embarrassed the Rev. Mr. Sibthorp when the latter seceded to Popery. It is said that the poor gentleman does not take kindly to Mariolatry. Rome lost Mr. Sibthorp by insisting upon the worship ; but experience has rendered her wise in her generation, and it is reported that Mr Maskell has a dis pensation to relieve his conscience, permitting him to ab stain for the present from yielding all the belief and practices which Rome demands upon this point. REPRESENTATION OF SCARBOROUGH.—The contest at Scarborough, on Saturday, between Lord Mulgrave and Mr. G. F. Young, has been a very animated one, and resulted in the return of the latter gentleman. Up to 12 o'clock Lord Mulgrave took the lead. At half-past 11 his Lordship was 26 a-head of his opponent, but half-an hour later found him only 17 in advance. Mr. Young, at 3 o'clock, was 19 in advance, and at 4 the numbers stood thus—Mr. G. F. Young, 314 ; Lord Mulgrave, 281 ; majority for Mr. Young, 33. Mr. G. F. Young is member for Scarborough. A greater triumph for the cause which that indefatigable gentlemen has so long and so ably maintained by his stedfastness and zeal we shall look for in vain, until the cause itself becomes hallowed by the verdict hereafter to be pronounced in its favour by the great body of the people.
