THE WHIG RADICAL CANVASS WEDNESDAY. It bad been announced that Mr. Cardwell would ar rive in town to commence his canvass on Tuesday. He did not, however, arrive until Wednesday afternoon, when he was met at the station by his friends, and conducted direct to the office of Messrs. Hugh and Joseph Hornby, in'Exchange-buildings, with the , view of addressing the merchants and others from one of the windows which overlook the area. We have already referred to the scene whiCh occurred there, Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner, the Conservative candidates, being on the spot at the time, ad dressing their friends from Messrs. Littledale and Co.'s win - davr. The result was that Mr. Cardwell and his colleagues ware totally inaudible, their voices being drowned by the disapprobation of the Conservatives ; and their attempt 'to address the merchants in the News-room was equally unsuccessful. In the evening these gentlemen contented themselves with addressing their canvassers and friends in private conclave at the Royal Hotel, Dale-street. THURSDAY. On Thursday evening a large meeting of the electors of Castle. street, Exchange, and*St. Paul's Wards was held at the Royal Hotel, Dale-street, and addressed by the candidates and some other gentlemen. Mr. Hugh Hornby was in the chair. The speech of Mr. Cardwell was the great performance of the evening, and was as usual con tined to the assertion of Free Trade principles, and quo tations from blue books, combined with a little abuse of Mr. Mackenzie. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform we noticed, with the exception of two gentlemen, once regarded as holding Conservative opinions, only the old laces of the Whig-Radical party. During the proceedings the speakers addressed a crowd of people who had congre gated in the street outside. FRIDAY On the evening of Friday, the candidates addressed a meeting of Everton and West Derby Wards, in the large room of the Public-office, Low-hill. The proceedings and speeches were little varied from those of the prece ding night's meeting, neither Mr. Cardwell nor Mr. Ewart venturing to refer •to any topics excepting free trade, and what they considered to be the demerits of the opposing candidates. MONDAY. Last night the candidates met their friends in the Cir cus in Parliament-street, where they were addressed by Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Ewart, and some of their supporters. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB. The first match of the season, for yachts of the club, will take place on Saturday next, the 12th instant. First class (above-35 tons), £5O cup. Tons. Tons. Aguila Vision ...... Bacchanti The Aguila, a Scotch vessel, was built last season. and, in October, won the Commodore's Cup, given on the occasion of the Queen's visit to this port. Queen of the Isles is a new schooner, built here, is a very beautiful vessel, but ills doubtful if they will be able to find her trim,as she is scarcely out of the riggers' hands. The Tartar, winner of thecup last year, it is said, will show with a longer bow than ever. She sailed so well, when last amongst us, that it-seems a pity to touch her. The celebrated Vision has, also, been altered, but only slightly, and, we hope, to her advantage. It is to be regretted that neither the Irish Lily, 80 tons, Sloop-rigged, and sails with horizontal seams, nor the leverton, 40 tons, just launched at Preston, could be got ready for the match. Second Class (under _ S 5 tons), £3O Cup. Tons Tons. Seabird 33 Etanley (new) 17 Fidget Surprise *Fidget will try in this match a staysail instead of jib and foresail. The Constance, a regular clipper, built here by Cato, will carry also her tore-staysail ; she, however, is yawl, rigged. The Stanley, 17 tons, built by W. 'Wilson, of 'Birkenhead, it is expected will revive his renown as a yacht builder. The Onda, 20 tons, is a dark craft. She hails from Scotland, and report speaks of her as a clipper of the first class. With such an entry, should the day prove fair, a most interesting trial may be confidently expected, which we cannot 'help wishing, for the sake of advancement and improvement. The new craft may prove victorious. Had the Dish :Lily and Overton been ready, six new yachts would have contended against seven.old. Truly the march of improvement is with the Royal Ytersey Yacht Club. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT. YESTERDAY. CLAIM IFOTt WAGES,—Thomas Murray, seaman on board the ship Blenge, summoned Captain Campbell, master of that vessel, for £8 Os. The complainant stated that he shipped at this port for a voyage to Vera Cruz, which place be reached on the 17th February. On the 22nd (five days after) he and another applied for leave to go on shore, and returned before sunset to the Mole, where there was no boat to take them on board. At sub sequent periods .they presented themselves to be put on board, but the captain gave them into custody, and they were locked up for five days without having been pre viously brought -before a magistrate. On the ship's sailing from Vera Cruz to Laguna, they were taken down in irons, and •put on board. They were not able to work from sickness, and the captain took them before the consul there, who committed them to prison for three months with hard labour. They were confinedtill the ves sel was about to sail for England, when they performed the voyage. On theirarrivai in this country, thecaptain refused to pay them their wages, assigning, as a reason; that they were in debt to the ship., as he was under the necessity of employing men in their stead, and paying prison fees. Mr. Aspinall (who appeared for the captain) produced the official log in support of ciis defence; but, as the entries were not verified according to the Mercantile Marine Act, nor read over. to the complainant, Mr. Mansfield said, " You (addressing Mr. Aspinall) are relying on the 7th section of the act, which directs that the entries should be read over to the men ; but, as it does not appear that the captain did so, 1 must order payment. Mr. Aspinall replied, that according to common law, he could make the deductions. Mr. Chilton said that these proceedings were according to the statute, and not common law. Mr. Mansfield : " I think, Mr. Aspinail, that is a difficulty you cannot get over." Another case depended upon the deciFion of this SMUGGLING —Peter Greer, a seaman belonging to the fined 405., or, in default, Orontes, from Al - - sentenced to 14 day de Co!ogne.

Ribcrpoot tanbarb, TUESDAY HORNING, JUNE 8, 1852. WHAT IS TO BE THE POLICY OF . I\IR. CARDWELL AND THE PEELITE PARTY? THE honourable misrepresentative of Liverpool, Mr. EDWARD CARDWELL, is to most men a political enigma. To his nearest friends he is unintelligible, if we may judge from their motley character; and we very greatly mistake if he is not dangerous. He is the chosen of the Irish Roman Catholics ; the candidate for whom the " Catholic Defence Asso ciation" is prepared to do battle. He is the pet of the Unitarian Whig-Radicals, the admired of the democracy of Manchester, and is patronised by that very crochetty body, the Liverpool National Con federation, whose leading members not very long ago denounced him as a violator of his pledges, or professions—for Mr. CARDWELL is as little to be read straight forward as dreams, or the Delphic Oracle. Greatest miracle of all ! though " Hiber nior Hibernicis," he hopes to be enabled to convince the electors of Liverpool that he is an excellent Pro testant ! ! It is time, however, that the attempt should be made to strip the cloak of mystery from the shoulders of this human riddle ; and happily an admirable article in this month's number of Black wood affords materials which will assist us con siderably in the effort. Mr. CARrycvmLes past political history is tole rably well known. It has been that or a man struggling for place and power, without having encumbered himself with any definite principles. He was a useful subordinate to Sir ROBERT PEEL ; and, as we do not give him credit for the boldness of setting up in business on his own account, we are driven to regard him as an ally and follower of the chief of the Peelite party—Sir JAMES GRA-. HAM. His position and alliances in Liverpool fur nish a tolerably correct exponent of the policy of the Ministry which—Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Whig family party being politically dead—would most probably be formed in the event of the Earl of DERBY being driven from the helm of state. Our valued contemporary gives us a forcible picture of the position of the PEELITE party after the betrayal of their long-professed Conservative principles had been consummated, and the further isolation in which they were placed by the death of their leader, Sir ROBERT PEEL. For a time, whilst , endeavouring to constitute themselves a nucleus around which to gather a•liberal Conservative party, they endeavoured to win back the confidence of the body of gentlemen with whom they for merly acted, and maintained an occasional show of hostility to Whig statesmanship. •l3ut we shall here quote from our contemporary=: — " At length came another sudden and great change over the position and : prospects of parties, in the shap e o f the Papal aggression , and its ridiculous• result, the Eccle siastical Titles Bill. , On this occasion the little Peel party thought proper to commit themselves, almost to a man, to doggedly opposing the national feeling, faintly professing to share the universal indignation, but osten tatiously adopting •a line of policy in entire unison with the feelings and wishes of the Roman , Catliolic party l If their counsels, immediately before the meeting of Parlia ment in the Session of 1851, bad been based upon the expectation that the Liberal party at large would side with them, they immediately found themselves totally mistaken ; for Lord .John Russell was supported by not only the great majority of his own professed adherents, but by many of the Radical party, and also by the old Conservative party, who found fault with Lord John only because his legislation was miserably unequal to so great an exigency, and would disappoint the country. So far, then, they had committed a blunder; and we well know how ingeniously one of their number, .Mr. CARDWELL, has endeavoured to get out of its consequences. They had made their bid for the sup port of the Roman Catholic party in Parliament and in the country, whose aggressive assaults against the-supremacy of the SON'EREIGN and our Protestant ,institutions and Church they were pledged to countenance ; and hence we find our own member and candidate, 'Mr. CARDWELL, the selected of the Irish Romanists and the Ribbonmen of Liverpool. But this was not ground broad enough to enable them to make a bid for political power. The democratic Manchester party, headed by Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT, and the old Radicals and Chartists, represented by Mr. HUME, had been detached from the side of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his friends by the defeat gained over them by that statesman in the :session of 1849, when the motion for a large extension of the suffrage was brought forward 1:T111r. HuasE, the levelling character of which may 'be estimated by .the fact that it was approved of by Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR and the whole of the Chartists in the .House of Commons. Those parties were to be appeased, and an opportunity of doing so was afforded by the introduction of the Militia Bill of the present Government, in the opposition to which :Mr. ,CARDWELL and his friends were found aiding the obstructive efforts of the extreme Radicals and the members of the Manchester school. Mere, then, are the elements of a government to which alone the Peelites can offer a consistent sup port-: the professors of extreme democratic views on the one hand, and the active agents of the pro popish ,party—the nominees of the " Catholic De fence Society," and the Jesuit body—on the other, both united in a bitter hatred to the tstabliehed Church of England.' That we may not be mis taken as to the views of the latter—of Mr. .CARD WELL'S particular friends, whose support on a re cent occasion was openly tendered to him at the Music Hall, on the ground of his non-opposition to the papal aggression,—we shall quote here an. x. tract from the electioneering address of a public man, Mr. Frederic Lucas, proprietor of the Tablet., a Roman Catholic and ultra-montane organ, who has been selected by the priests as the candidate for the county of Meath. Mr. Lucas says : " The whole iniquity, every shred and fragment of it, proceeds from the ESTABLISHED CHURCH. Of that ins tit u tion, as it exists in England, I will say nothing ; because, on the other side of the Channel, it has at least some claims to the character of nationality, and to the favour of the people among whom it rears its unmitred front ! But in Ireland the case is different ; and as the only remedy for the aggressions which have been already perpe trated, and for those still worse which are threatened against us, lies in the removal of that painted and gilded rottenness which is nicknamed the Establishment, I think it necessary just to say one word about it. The formula that I should use would be, not that I would oppose any Government which will not repeal the Eccle siastical Titles Bill, but that I would oppose every Govern ment which will not remov e in this country the grievance of the Established Church. which , no t a b so l utely put down its monopoly of the t ecclesiastical revenues, and l a m n o da e l .iolmthiseens land. Abate thi s one o standing n that arrogantiazdttot the pi g rievance—destroy this one wlslice—put down this one monopoly—erase from the surface of this soil the odious spectacle of a Catholic population lorded over by Pro testants parsons, and Lord Archbishops, and clerical iustices and robbers, ,rho, under various denominations, r un into their own den apart tic whole produce of a till orhe same kind and fall to the grown d, t national fund, which they ac q uired b y p lunder, an maintain by the strong arm alone—undermi ne this one n e2 n to a rT ,7 o Q u v s „ ga r nc le e s , s m er ak :r t ic t s l a o n tt e e e r a rentage will be be buried in the wide-spread ruins.

He is to receive the support to a man of the Roman Catholic priests and electors of Liverpool, He has attempted to explain away the conduct on the sub ject of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill which won him their confidence. He has declared that he voted against the bill because it was not stringent enough; but he told Mr. James Tyrer, in private—in one of those conversations which between gentlemen are always regarded as conveying real opinions—that he rejoiced that the measure of Lord John Russell had been " cut up into mince-meat" in the Cabinet. There can be no mistake about the matter now. Mr. CA RDWELL seeks to enter Parliament as the ally of the members of the Catholic Defence Society, and of the democracy of Manchester and elsewhere, equally hostile to the maintenance of the Established Protestant Church of the realm ; and we trust that the disgrace of returning such a man will not be the lot of the Protestant and loyal people of this great town. UNION OF GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND. -COMPLETION OF THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH. ON the first day of the present century, the first of January, 1801, the union of Great Britain and Ireland took place, which is known to the histo rian and politician. ELIZABETH had been Queen of England ; ANNE, from 1707, had been Queen of Great Britain ; VICTORIA is now, by the grace of Got), Queen of the United Kingdom. The efforts of O'CONNELL for many years were directed towards the repeat of the Union, so far as Ireland was concerned; at all events, he made that a prominent article of his political creed, and the excitement which he maintained by harping on this string had the effect of enriching him at the expense of the miserable population of the country. " Repeal the Union !" said a great statesman, " then by all means restore the Heptarchy." The union, which was effected on Tuesday last, has excited no commotion in political circles : it has not been decried by Whig or Tory, Orangeman or Rockite, and yet it is destined to produce mightier effects than the ordinary reader dreams of. It places the possibility of insurrectionary movements in the sister island at a more remote distance than ever, and it does this at the very moment that the rebel press is beginning to spout its red republicanism again. Just as railways have practically brought the distant shores of this island within an easy drive of the metropolis, so the electric telegraph has made the various provin cial capitals in the kingdom correspond to the various apartments of a large mansion. A whisper at the Land's End is echoed at John o'Groat's; before the cheering has subsided at Westminster, the QUEEN'S speech has been read in Edinburgh. A noble lord in the Upper House looks round upon empty benches, and wakens the echoes of ceiling and gallery as he rings the changes on the common places, and addresses himself to an invisible audi tory. The consoling thought that he " speaks to the public" is no longer a figure of speech , to be interpreted merely by reporters and news venders. Within a few minutes, the magic wires can repeat every syllable hundreds of miles off in the provinces, while an opponent is still upon his legs replying to the observations. Hitherto, Ireland has not had her full share of the advantages of rapid communication, which Science has taxed Nature to lay at the feet of mankind. But now the Channel is bridged across by the lightning messenger, and the people of Dublin, Cork, Galway, Belfast, and Limerick, are brought, to all intents and purposes, 250 miles nearer London. Lord EGLINTON can now chat for five minutes with Lord DERBY, respecting the translation of a Bishop or the appointment of a Judge ; a witness can be subpoenaed hours after the trial has begun; and the Senate of Queen's University, over their wine in the Castle, can, if they please, examine the can didate graduates in the Queen's Colleges. A curious characteristic of the present time is, that centralization and localization, two opposing principles, go on simultaneously. At no former period did the provinces possess greater weight than now ; and though London alone contains more than double the population of Wales, and nearly as many as all Scotland, the voice of the metropolis can scarcely be heard when the nation speaks. Paris is France, but London is not Eng land ; and in the councils of the nation the manu facturing districts have an admitted influence. At the same time, the advantages of metropolitan re sidence are every day diminishing, by that annihi lation of space which science is daily achieving. Now both these principles tell powerfully upon Ireland. She possesses special features, and ever will ; so that she must have a distinct local cha racter. This is rising gradually, through the dimi nution of population, the spread of knowledge, the preaching of a pure Gospel, and improved laws respecting the transfer and tenure of land. Re garded only as a province, it will in twenty-five years be worth 100 per cent. more than at present, despite the efforts of the vicious or the interested to retard the progress of development. Yet, in another respect, no country is losing its former character so rapidly as Ireland. Its redundancy of labour will find occupation in the backwoods of the United States; its Celtic idleness and prejudice are being cured in the large towns of Great Britain ; and in a few years, through the united agency of the Irish clergy and the emigrant ships, we shall cease to have a little Rome anywhere under the shadow of our Union flag. There are many attempts to dis turb the patient, but the wounds of former years are healing fast ; and the electric telegraph is ano ther gentle but sanatory agent, the effects of which can neither be misunderstood nor prevented. J. BRAMLEY-NIOORE AND THE REPRESENTATION OF HULL. THE Whig-Radical party, amongst their other qualities, possess that of being " good haters." No public man ever distinguished himself by a successful exposure of their trickery and blundering, without being repaid for it by rancorous hostility, carried sometimes to the extreme of personal misrepresentation and abuse. Our respected and talented fellow-townsman, Mr. J. Bramley-Moore, who is a candidate, on Conservative principles, for the representation of Hull, has recently offended Whig- Radicalism, and its Popish allies, by his vigorous and of Mr. ng exposure of the insincerity and tricky conduct !ward Cardwell In retal ation for this heinous offence, it has not been deemed sufficient to subject that gentleman to the flip- pant attacks of the supporters and organs of the party in this locality. Fortunately, Mr. Bramley Moore is too well known and valued here for such attacks to have any effect, and we trust that the electors of Hull will appre ciate the motives which have brought a lecturer of the gue to their town, to foist upon them misrepresenta tions which would not for a moment be believed in Liver pool. At present we understand the services of Mr. Tin( Atkinson, of this town, have been pressed into the The cue given to these gentlemen appears to be to undervalue the important services which Mr. Bramley Moore, as dock chairman, and subsequently during the year of his mayoralty, was enabled by his great energy, influence, and ability, to render to his fellow townsmen, ple of Liverpool, and we may also add, to the commercial interests of the empire. We do not intend, however, to allow the electors of Hull to be betrayed by the statements of these calum niators into withdrawal of their confidence in a candidate who would be an honour to the first constituency in this or any other country. We tell them distinctly and em phatically, that to Mr. Bramley-Moore we owe the fact that ample dock space has been provided for the growing wants of the commerce of Liverpool; and that 'that im portant desideratum is secured for more than a generation to come. During the period that be occupied the dock chairmanship of Liverpool, the water area was doubled ; service the pe and, by his own foresight, without a suggestion from any individual, he secured an agreement with the Earl of Derby for docks along the Bootle shore, at literally not a shilling of cost to the Dock Estate or to Liverpool. At this moment the very parties who, from jealousy of the reputation and esteem which he was earning in the minds of his fellow-townsmen, or from some more unworthy cause, opposed the carrying out of these large schemes, are taking credit for their having been brought about by free-trade policy. Whilst engaged in this arduous work, Mr. Bramley-Moore was enabled, in one year, to reduce the dock dues by £40,000 per annum, without injuring the productiveness of the revenue or the security of the dock bondholders. . . His Mayoralty, which followed his occupation of the Dock Chairmanship, was one of the most satisfactory ever known ; and his conduet as chief magistrate gained the approbation of men of every shade of political opinion. During that year he originated and successfully carried out a fancy fair in the Prince's-park, one of the most splendid fkes ever witnessed in Liverpool, and by which the enormous sum of £9,500 odd was realised, deducting all expenses, for the benefit of the Infirmary, and the Northern and Southern Hospitals. As a further proof of the high sense entertained of his services and value by the community, in 1817, when the first year of his dock chairmanship expired, a memorial, signed in a very few hours by upwards of 160 of the leading mercantile firms in Liverpool, was presented to him, praying him to con sent to his re-election. But there are one or two other motives, besides his ex posure of Mr. Cardwell, for the hostility to Mr. Bramley- Moore of the League party, and the Romanists, who it seems are in Hull, as well as here, in close alliance. That gentleman is a thorough and consistent Protestant, and an unflinching supporter of the constitution of the coun try in its integrity ; and his opponents, Messrs. Clay and Lord Goderich present the somewhat odd spectacle of a family party Whig and a Chartist nobleman in forced al liance. We have little fear that the petty and malevolent attacks which are now being made upon him, on such miserable grounds, will influence the electors of Hull, and prevent them from returni.ig triumphantly both Mr Bramley-Moore, and the Hon. Charles Lennox Butler his colleazue, by triumphant maj BIRKENHEAD DOCKS IN PARLIAMENT Two sittings of the committee on this subject have been held, one on Thursday and the other on Friday. On Thursday, the morning sitting Ras occupied by the examination-in-chief of Mr. Rendel, continued by Mr. Webster. His attention had first been called to the tidal harbour report, sent from the Admiralty ; and his opinion was that questions relating to the Mersey were entirely under the jurisdiction of the conservators and not under that of the Admiralty. In May, 1851, he entered into direct communication with the Tidal Harbour Department, and also with the Lords Conservators, and out of that had arisen the reference to Mr. Stevenson and Admiral Beaufort. He thoualit it odd that a report had been made by the Tidal Harbour Department, opposed to that of the Conservators, without any preliminary inquiry. A lengthened cross-examination took place by members of the committee and ethers ; and some of the witness's statements were objected to as irrelevant. At the sitting on Friday, Mr. Johnson read extracts from the witness's evidence in 1844 and 1818, apparently to invalidate his testimony at present by showing incon sistency. On these various points he was cross.examined by Mr. Johnson. Before the breaking up of the com mittee, Mr. Burke suggested that the opposing parties should meet on Saturday and Monday, to endeavour to come to some arrangement. Mr. Johnson, on behalf of the promoters, expressed his willingness to entertain any reasonable proposition ; and it was understood that a meeting would be held to settle differences before Monday. The committee adjourned till yesterday (Monday.) MR. CARDWELL AND MR. SAMUEL HOLME. To the EDITOR of I, LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR.,—Within the last few days I have been told that many parties disbelieved that I received a letter from Mr. Cardwell, in which that gentleman stated that " he was opposed to the repeal of our Navigation Laws," and that it is looked upon as an election squib ; and to-day I have a letter from one of our large timber importers, stating that Mr. --, a timber merchant of the highest respectability, and for whom I have the highest regard, is received unconvinced of the fact. It must be apparent to any man who reflects for a single moment, that if such a circum stance rested upon my word only, Mr. Cardwell would give to it the most indignant denial, and I should justly stand convicted of a deliberate fraud. I have reason to believe, however, that such a doubt has been industriously circulated for electioneering purposes; but most certainly without the knowledge or sanction of the gentleman most immediately concerned. lam not in the habit of saying what I cannot prove; and never did, and I hope, never shall, use any other than open and honourable means to forward that Conservative cause which I have at heart. To remove all doubts upon the question, I have despatched Mr. Cardwell's letter to Mr. Kaye, of Castle-street, with a request that he would place it in his window, and then the most sceptical may judge for themselves. lam not a casuist; I do not think that " language was given to us to conceal our thoughts," and I deeply regret to see Mr. Cardwell amongst the ranks of those whose opinions have ever been of a Radical tendency. Had Mr. Cardwell's votes in parliament accorded with what he wished us to believe, and had he pursued the line of policy indicated by his first public speech in Liverpool, (and which any man may refer to,) he would have had no more zealous supporter than myself. I think the use which Mr. Card well made of an isolated passage in my letter to him, was, dutyh I the e p l d r a; s 3 ae I nn r dt . to say the least, disingenuous; and my duty r ought t o t bo o ep dp h io a e have stated that it was put interrogatively, and not conclusively. as I feel it My opposition to his re-election is not on personal friends or any of h s i g pn r et o rei n or n ed d s f el , d b v ,a,uostuaol all dnl classest l the opposef ararehighery i on w the n g roblure brother, t d i l o ea f , t. : p o u inf b o l h i f c ot well Cardwell's views, and acted as that gentleman has done, as openly I beg they will consider that he, pu blic gaze, and not I, .—I am, SAMUEL HOLME- Church-street, June 7, 1852. feel him . ann l o f' y te C r a s r h d THE CITY OF MAN servant, n b t e , a e been d t the cause ze a l° o u l i Y t Philadelphia Stearn ethdetriemfotreh,isl‘llert.

THE intelligence of the capture of Martaban and Rangoon, recorded in our last number, took many of our readers by an agreeable surprise. They were not aware that the prophecies which the previous Indian mail contained were likely to be realised, or that another triumph of British valour was about to he recorded. But as the object of every war should be to lay the foundation of a lasting peace, so it is now time to reflect what is the best use to make of victory. One thing is clear, that a grave mistake has been frequently committed in times p . We have used victory with too much generosity, for that which is misunderstood is always thrown away. The man who is restrained only by the principle of fear, him self, and who does not comprehend the abstract principles of honesty and truth, always judges another by the same standard. Thus, forbearance towards the savage or the unprincipled is always attributed to cowardice or incapacity ; and the conquerors and the conquered, in all their infe rences, reason from two different sets of premises. The nations of Europe all know the power and position of England, and respect her accordingly ; but, fortunately, or unfortunately, we have to do with others who are less deeply read in the history of the world. Some estimate power by extent of territory, and others by numbers of population; in either of which cases the few inhabitants of ou r small islands, whose pale faces are seen in distant lands, must give unfavourable impressions of us. The Caffres repeatedly say, "if your Queen be so great as you tell us she is, why does she not send soldiers, and show her power ?" And the Burmese, previously to the last war, are represented as using the following language : " The English are the inhabitants of a small and remote island ; %%quit business have they to come in ships from so great a distance to dethrone kings, and take pos session of countries they have no right to ? They con trive to conquer and govern the black foreigners, the people of castes, 'who have puny frames and no courage ; they have never yet fought. with so strong and brave a people as the Burman, skilled in the use of the sword and spear. If they once fight with us, and we have an oppor tunity of manifesting our bravery, it will be an example to the black 'nations which are now slaves to the English, and will encourage them to throw off the yoke." In 1826, the 'former Burmese war terminated in favour of England, but the principles of mercy and forbearance were largely carried out, and the result is that all the fighting must be done over again. The error was, the assumption that these would be appreciated by men who knew little or nothing about them. Professor \VILsoN's narrative of the war, which raged during the greater part of three years, puts this matter in the true light. A few years ago, another war was concluded in our favour at the .Ccpe of Good Hope, but mercy, forbearance, and generosity towards another people unprepared to appreciate them, have more than robbed the nation of all the fruits of victory. They have entailed upon us another war, tedious, harassing, and costly, both in blood and treasure, the end of which we,do not see yet. We may rest assured that the steed which is only partially broken in will never submit his shoulder cheerfully to the yoke ; and it is mercy to disregard the struggles of the sufferer, in .a surgical operation that is to restore him to 'health and happiness. Two ,features in the present war are somewhat unusual, the •one affecting the health and the other the treasury of our people. The district, the sea son, and the climate all fight against England in the territory beyond the Ganges, so that it is a matter of great moment to conduct the operations promptly and decisively. If not, fever, cholera, dysentery, and (coup de soleil will do what the guns of RANGOON could not effect, and we may End with King PYRRIFUS that another such victory and we are undone. The other feature is the attempt of the Governor-General to make it a money question. This is a new way ,of bringing wars to a close; and if the victor were always to hand in a "little bill" for £lO,OOO a-day, ,or more or less, men would soon learn that the ploughshare is better than the sword, the pruning-hook than the spear. People would avoid law as they avoid the bottomless pit of Chan cery, for the twofold reason that there is no know ing when they might get out, nor whether they might not have a double set of costs to pay. DR. M'NEILE'S LECTURE, LAST NIGHT. We have devoted considerable space to a full report of Dr. AVNEILE's lecture last evening, and we are sure that our readers will gladly excuse the omission or greater condensation of several minor matters. The dexterous manner in which the rev. gentleman deduced the prin ciples of Romish intolerance from the liberty of conscience conceded to them in this country produced a marked effect upon the audience. They had not suspected before that knocking off the fetters of penal statutes was arming an incurable enemy, and that the Romanist persecutes others as conscientiously as we exercise toleration. The concluding portion of the lecture, in which he applied the principles to the incidents of the present time, stirred up the complete enthusiasm of the audience, and cheer after cheer followed almost every sentence of the glowing pero ration. Dr. AT'Neile's lectures in times past have too often been like the prophecies of Cassandra ; but recent events have given a fearful confirmation to his forecast , ings, and consequently an increased importance to his present statements. BAZAAR. —Yesterday a bazaar, for the benefit of St. Peter's Church Schools, Everton, was opened at the Ex hibition-rooms, Postoffice-place. The day was very unpropitious, and, consequently, the receipts were less than was anticipated ; but we sincerely hope the succeed ing days will amply repay the loss of yesterday. To the credit of the ladies of the congregation, the stalls were not only tastefully laid out, but most abundantly supplied, and particularly in the refreshment room. Many valuable articles were exhibited which, if not disposed of, it is in tended to raffle ; but we trust that an object so worthy as the education of youth in the principles of our holy church will not want support, or fall short of the requisite funds. PRESENTATION TO MR. THOS. KING, LATE PIER HEAD-MASTER CF THE CLARENCF. DOCK.—A few even ings ago, a very interesting meeting took place at Mont gomery's Trafalgar • Hotel, Waterloo-road, which we re cord not only from respect to the party principally inte- rested, but also from the example which it chords that kindness of manner, united to integrity, in a public ser vant, is certain to command public approbation. The object of the meeting was to present a handsome gold watch and chain, with an address, to Mr. Thos. King, who has lately been promoted from the situation of piechead master of the Clarence Dock, to master of Toxteth Dock. The present had been subscribed fur by the commanders of steam-shios frequenting the Clarence and Trafalgar Docks, who, as their address stated, had experienced the Fend endeavours which he had always manifested I ivi; er Clark, the c nted the watch i ,sea upor !ch . ; ar by Captain Cumr Proudfit, Wi John Lowth TO THE ELECTORS OF LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN, — Though I am satisfied that you are too intelligent to be carried away by the present cry of "No Bread Tax," without examining for yourselves, yet I think there are many who do not enter into a calculation of the extra cost a five- shilling duty on foreign corn would be to them. I will give you a practical case. My family, consisting of five grown-up people, cost me in bread and flour 3s. per week. Now, supposing the present price of wheat to be 455. per quarter, if we, as consumers, paid the whole of the ss. extra (which would not always be the case), it would add one-ninth to the cost of 35., which is 4d., and this is more than it would be in reality, for I add it to the bakers' charges, which of course would not be in creased by the duty. This, then, is the very immense mouse that this electioneering mountain would bring forth ! But this is only one side of the question. The Manchester people tell us, that their object is to get us to buy all our corn abroad, in order that the foreigners may buy all their goods from us. Now, supposing they succeed in throwing out of cultivation our wheat land, how long do you think we should have cheap bread ? You know that cheapness is caused by the supply being rather more than equal to the demand : is it not, there fore, folly to cut off one means of supply ? But, have they not another reason, that they do not so openly tell us ? Is it not also their aim to drive all the surplus agricultural labourers on their own market, that they may be able to reduce wages ? And you !know that a 10 per cent. reduction would be vastly greater than you could possibly have to pay more for bread. Consider the subject for yourselves, and be not deceived. I like cheap bread as well as anybody, and am as anxious that the poor should have it; but I do not think it is the way to get it, by discouraging the home supply.—Yours, L. E. W. HISTORIC SOClETY.—Another day meeting of this society, at whirls ladies are to be present, is announced for Thursday next, at one o'clock, in the Royal Institu tion. The Rev. Dr. Thom, one of the vice presidents. is to read a paper on the alteration and removal of c hurches or chapels in Liverpool. Darning Hibbert, Esq., has forwarded, from London, a series of curious letters, illus trative of Lancashire and Cheshire about the middle of the seventeenth century ; and James Middleton, Esq.. of this town, is to read a memoir cn the church of West Kirby, on the Dee.
