PROSPECTUS OF A JOINT STOCK BANKING. • COMPANY, TO BE CALLED " THE BURY AND HEYWOOD BANKING • COMPANY." £30,000, IN 39 SHARES OF .ElO EACII FTIHE rapid increase and prosperity of Joint Stock Banks, in 1_ this kingdom, and especially in the county of Lancaster, have demonstrated to every individual who has watefied their progress that such enterprizes •are sound in principle, safe and beneficial to the Public, and profitable to the,Shareholder. The objections raised by the fastidio s gainst Joint Stock Banks, on their first establishment, • now answered by a proud reteremee to their successful orking in Manchester, Liverpool, and other towns throughout the empire, as it now becoines.obvions, even from the admission of the private banker, that his establishment will be, ere long, completely super annuated. Indeed, when we Consider the fundamen'al Principle on which such Banks rest—that of mutual exertion for mutual benefit— that the interests of these establishments are committed to the care of men of character, wealth, and probity—and that the Shareholders hold an effectual control'over the management— it is not strange that these combined energies should prove so pre-eminently successful. In addition toryeifedt Securit y,.and the facilities for business, which Joint Stuck ,Winks present,—the Shareholders in thosq already established have been enabled, exclusive of a profitable return as Interest upon the paid Capital, to realize Premiums averaging from 50 to 60 per cent. It is clear, that the Town of Bury, with her 20.000 inhabitants, surrounded by a'distriet energetically engaged in commercial pursuits, especially in conjunction with the increasing and flourishing Town of Heywood, offers every encouragement for the establishing of a Bank upon the Joint Stock Principle, freed and unshackled from the impost of a large premium to the promoters, havinglor its object the public good, by the employ ment of the public capital. It is therefore proposed, — That a Banking CoinFany, un ler the title of " The BURY AND H Eywoon BANKING COMPANY," be formed. That there be Banks established at Bury and Heywood, and that the business be that of a Deposit, Loan, Agency, Discoutt, and Circulation Bank. That the Capital of the Company be £3(0,000, in 30,000 Shares of £lO each. That, on appropriation of the Shares, each Shareholder pay One Shilling per Share towards defraying the necessary ex penses attendant Olson the foimation of the company ; a Sum of £2 10s. per Share within one month from the appointment of Directors; the remaining sum of £7 10s. to be called for at the discretion of the Directors, giving three months notice of the call, and calling fur no larger a sum at each call than £2 10s. per Share. • That Boards of Direct Ors be established at Bury and Hey wood, for conducting the affairs of the Company. That, when 5,000 Shares are taken up, the Company to be considered as formed, when a Meeting of the Shareholders will immediately be called, for the purpose of appointing Directors. to consist of such number as shall be then agreed upon. That, at all Meetings of Shareholders, each Shareholder may vote personally or by proxy, authorized in writing; and that the votes be regulated as follows :-10 Shares, one vote; 30 Shares, votes; 100 Shares and upwards, four votes. That Fifty Shares be a qualification for a Director. That, should one fourth of the paid-up Capital be at any time lost, the Company to be thereupon dissolved, unless the Share holders, at a Meeting convened for that purpose, determine otherwise. That, immediately after Directors are appointed, a Deed of Settlement lie prepared, to contain all , necessary and proper Provisions.for ,the efficient management of the company and the Security of the Shareholders. Th'at the names of the Shareholders be not discloied until a return he filed in su'cY,OMe as the law requires. Tlizit the above cOatioffs be subject to revision by the Share hulciars • , Applicatirms fqc : be made to -Messrs. GittiNnit i , Solicitors . 1342. 1 rind Forme of- AppliOa. tion may bC IMPERIAL RECTIFYING SPIRIT COMPANY, CAPITA 1., £lOO,OOO, IN 10,000 SHARES OF £lO frHE originators of the proposal taform a Company for the purpose of Rectifying British Spirits and Manufactured Compounds, under the above style, avail .themselves, of long and extensive experience in the business to assure the public of the very superior claims it has upon their confidence; and the only reason that has deterred them from previously making it known was, the apprehension that it might be confounded with some of those merely theoretical sc - e es, so numerous in the market; they now, however, sub it to practiciil awn, with t heutmost reliance on its success The nature of this business, compelling a large capital. in its succeseul conduct, affords at once an explanation of the fact of its having been hitherto confined to the hands of but very few individuals, and has thence, very naturally, become with them a monopoly greatly important and lucrative ; but the now active and successful application of the principle of combined contri butions places the advantages, hitherto confined to the select few, within the reach of all. _ . That the people of Lancashire should send away their capital to London or to Bristol, for an article which they are equally competent to' produce at home, is a mercantile oversight which it is high time to remedy. And to give some notion of the amount to which these remittances extend, the fact may be mentioned, that about 600,000 gallcins of Gin alone are annually sold in the town of Liverpool. And some idea of the extent to which the business is carried may be derived from the circum stance of one London house employing twelve Travellers. . That so great an omission as that referred to should have existed so long, while the population of this county has been progressing with such rapid strides, is not very unlike a deep reflection on the Spirit and enterprise of such towns as Liverpool and Man chester. The public have now before them more than one projected establishment. for the Distillation of Spirits, which, from their products being made on the spot, must greatly facilitate and cheapen the process of subsequent Rectification here. It should also be observed, that the transmission alone of Gin from Lon don to Liverpool, Manchester, and other places in this county burdens the price of that article with no less than an extra six pence per gallon. It is intended that this establishment shall embrace all the branches of _the general business of Rectifying—in the manu facture of E'ritish Compounds, Spirits of Wine, &c. that it shall not interfere with the Wholesale Dealers, but be confined to the supply of the Trade only; and ifis, therefore, almost un necessary to suggest, that the Dealers, who have hitherto been excluded from any share in the profits of this departmtnt of their business, may now combine it with these oftheir usual occupation. Two or three other of the peculiar advantages resulting from a large establishment, such as the one now proposed,. may be briefly alluded to, viz., the prodtiction of a much superiorarticle than can be procured ot, a small scale; the promptitude of sup ply in the locality of this part of the kingdom ; and the conse quent reduction in the cost. and the competency of such a Com pany to accommodate purchasers with a greater extent of credit than can be afforded by the private or small capitaliit. The projectors have iherefore, determined to establish a Company, to he called THE IMPERIAL RECTIFYING SPIRIT COMPANY, with a Capital of £lOO,OOO, in 10,000 Shares at £lO each. _ That the first instalment be £1 per Share, and be paid within fourteen days after the appointment of the Directors. That the subsequent calls be made in such proportions (but never ex ceeding El per Share) and at such periods as the Direciors see necessary, upon giving one calendar month's previous notice. That two shillings and sixpence per Share be paid on allot met, a portion of which to be applied in defraying - the expenses of constituting the Company, and the surplus carried to the credit of the joint fund, Thai a deed of settlement be prepared, containing all neces sary provisions fur the security of the Company, and for its efficient management ; and, in order to limit the liability of the Shareholders, a clause be inserted in such deed, providing, that in case one-fourth of the subscribed capital shall be at any time lost, the Con.pany shall be dissolved, unless threg;fourths of the Proprietors shall otherwise determine. That so soon as 3 000 Shares be subscribed for, (the Shares to be transferable,) the Company shall be considered as formed, and a Meeting of the Subscribers called for the purpose of elect ing the General Board of Directors, to consist of Niue Share holders, possessing not less than forty Shares each, who shall continue in office one year, one-third retiring each year, but who shall be eligible to be re-elected. That all the concerns of the Company shall be under the management of the General Board of Directors, by whom all officers and clerks shall be appointed. That the holder of five Shares shall be entitled to one vote; twenty, to two votes; and fifty or upwards, to three votes; each Shareholder to vote by himself or proxy, such proxy being a Shareholder.

To the Provisional Committee of the Liverpool and Manchester Hide, Talining; and Leather Company: Gentlemen,-1 request yon will allot me Shares in this Company, subject to.the Prospectus of the 18th April, 18:34j. Name. Residence. 'Profession. To the Subscribers to the Liverpool and Manchester Hide Tanning and Leather Company, whether Foreign Merchants or Import ers, Tanners, Carriers, Cordwainers, Merchants Trading, or Shippers to South America, and lastly to the Public Capitalist. As the day of allotment is close at hand, and as so many pro posed Companies are in the market, it is becoming in the pro jectors to make the public fully acquainted with the profitable use intended to be made of such public monies as are about to be diverted into the new channels, and how far the public at large may be benefitted. The projectorsof the above intended Company will be happy to receive communications, and to answer any inquiries, from any gentlemen engaged in the South American trade, whether Subscribers or not, at the Office, No. 23, Clarendon-buildings, Liverpool, on WEDNESDAY next, at Eleven o'clock, or at the Bush Inn Manchester, on the same day, at Six o'clock in the Evening, and to enter into"the fullest details of this intended C eat Trading Company. It has been asked by the Manche.te' Guardian how this scheme can hope for success when a sin i ar one was attempted, at Manchester, by the Butchers, and failed. Answer—There is one in Birmingham which has been in operatiOn four years; that company have divided 71 per cent. annually, and have in that time realized a reserved fund equal to two-fifths of the sub scribed capital, and ii not managed by the Butchers. Now, for instance, if it be found possible to interest such a body in pur chasing their hides in Liverpool instead of London, and to as sist their sales of leather in Liverpool or Manchester. there is a small part, but nevertheless a part, of the system s mplv de veloped, and the projectors will have performed good citizen ship to the capitalist and a whole string of merchants, shippers, brokers, &c., &c., &c., independent of the increased revenues of the, port.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD. QIR,—A Mr. L. H. Macintyre having put forth an advertise -1.7 meat calellated to prejudice this undertaking, I consider an explanation due to the shareholders and the public ; and I feel that I,.can not better disabuse their minds than to give a simple statementof, the facts of the case. About-November last,.l, along with several others, agreed to take, from Mr, Bartley, the Egremont Ferry ft the term of 21 years, at an-average rent of £lOOO a year. lur object was to form a joint stock-company., and, for th's • • rpose, a committee was formed, of which I was one, to . e all the requisite ar rangements to commence operations i , February last. When the time arrived, it turned out that Mr. Bartley was not the owner of the ferrythat he ,was not even in possession of it, and could not, therefore ; fulfil , the contract which he had en tered into with the committee; and it appeared from'Mr. Bart tev's explanation, that he had merely contracted for the purchase of the ferry, and that a difficulty bad arisen ,which might pro tract the completion of the purchase for an indefinite period. Under these circumstances, I considered it a duty I owed to the shareholders to ascertain the correctness of Mr. Bartley's ex planation, and 1 accordingly waited upon . Mr. Askew, the owner of the property, who informed me that he had repeatedly offered to convey the property to Mr: Bartley, on receicing the purchase money, but that he refused to pay it unless a deduction was made from the purchase-money, and he mentioned several circum stances which satisfied ine that the contract was not likely to he carried into effect. The committee were made acquainted with these facts, and they instructed their solicitor, Mr. Harvey, to take legal proceedings against Mr. Bartley, who, to shelter himself from the consequences, offered to repay to the share holders their money, which was accepted by himself and others; the committee was then dissolved, and the solicitor's bill paid off. The chairman of our committee, Mr. Vincent El and our solicitor, Mr. Harvey, will, I am sure verify this state ment. After this, Mr. Askew obtained the opinion of a very distin guished barrister as to the'right of Mr. Bartley to claim a de duction froM the purchase-money of the Ferry, and the'opinion was positive and clear that Mr. Bartley was entitled to no de duction. Mr. Askew handed this opinion. to Mr. Bartley, who th-n offered to reduce his demand about one-fOurth, but this was refuied, and Mr. Askew then offered to leaYe the decision of the dispute between them to _three barristers, which Mr. Bartley would not agree to, and it was under these circumstances I became the. purchaser of the Hotel, Ferry, &c., for £5OO less than Mr. Bartley was to have given. For the correctness of this statement, I beg to refer to both Mr. Askew and his solicitor, Mr. Peacock; indeed, the statements these gentlemen made 'dative to Mr. Bartley's conduct in the affair are such that it Would not be . safe or proper for me to , publish. Mr. Macintyre calls himself "deputy chairman," he certainly did not fill that situation in the committee to which. I belonged; and, after Making every inquiry abont him, I cannot even ascertain who be is. What Mr. Bartley's object is in cautioning the.public against becoming members of the " Egremont Hotel and Ferry Coin pany," I am at a loss to guess. How can a sharehOlder be injured by embarking in the present undertaking? I am now the owner of the Ferry, and am in possession of it. All I require is, that a deposit should be paid down, the balance of the pur chase-money (bearing interest in lieu of rent) to be paid on the termination of the dispute between him and Mr. Askew; the company to be put into immediate possession of the Ferry, &c. and to receive the profits. It is therefore quite clear that no shareholder can suffer ; but, to remove all difficulties and doubts, it is agreed that toy title deeds shall be deposited with the Banker of the company, as security for the deposit which I require to be paid, and the company will receive an indemnity against all law, expenses, and to refund all calls that may be made, in the event of Mr. Bartley establishing his right to the Ferry, of which there does not seem the slightest probability. This explanation, I trust, will be satisfactory to all.-1 am, sir, your obedient servant, WM. HOULDSWORTH. Mr. Bartley has published a long letter in reply to the above, and there is one statement only which he has ventured to con tradict. He says Mr. Askew never did offer to leave the decision of the dispute between thPuo to three Barristers. lam prepared to prove, upon the testimony of two - highly-respectable indi viduals, that such an offer was made; and, when it was refused, Mr. Askew's solicitor offered, in writing, to refer it to a 'jury at the last assizes, which alio was refused by Mr. Bartley.. I have deposited my Title Deeds with the Union Bank as security to the Shareholders, for which I 'hold the following receipt : " Liverpool, 2d May, 1836. " Received from the Chairman of the Egremont Hotel and Ferry Company, Mr. hlouldsworth's Title to the Egremont Ferry, which 1 bold as security for the ShareholderS. "Signed " JAMES LISTER."

Front this projected Ferry a new road will be immediately made leading:direct into the Village of Liscard, and the whole of the Laud, containing from 80 to 100,(X/0 square yards, is purchased from Mr. Penketh, at a moderate price, for the benefit.and advantage of the Com pany ; presenting a building front of upwards of 2000 yards, with an average of from 40 to 100 yards iu4epth ; the greater part of which Land commands varied and uninterrupted Views of the River Mersey and Town of Liverpool. This Ferry will have a great advantage over any other, owing to Mr. Penketh having disposed of the Land along the shore to the Company. 'Other roads on Mr. Penketh's property will be formed, shortening the distance to the northern and western parts of the parish of Wallasey, (including New Brighton,) from the.

AN Advertisement under this title having appeared in the Liverpool papers of yesterday and to-day, offering the Egremont Hotel and Ferry for Sale to a Public Company, .to run Packets to such Ferry. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to all persons intending to take shares in the above Company, that such Ferry was, by agreement in writing, dated the 4th November, 1835 agreed to be taken from Mr. William Bartley Cy Messrs. Win. Houlds worth, Robert Cooke, John Murp - and others, for and on be half of a Public Company called " he Egremont Steam Packet Company ;" which Company was associated by a deed dated the 28th day of December last, made between the said William Houldsworth, Robert Cooke, John Murphy, and others, of the one part, and the several Subscribers of the said Company, of the other part; all the Shares in which Company have long since been alloted ;, and the same Company is now making all preparations for working the Ferry, as soon as possession shall he obtained under a suit in Chancery, instituted byy Mr. William ,Bartlev, the lessor of the said Company, against Mr. John As kew,ard others. BY order of the Committee pf Management of the Egremont :Ferry' Steam Packet Company. L. H. 11IACINTYRE, Deputy Chairman. - EGREALONT HOTEL AND FERRIPCOMPANY. QINCE the publication of my Notice respecting the above i 7. 7. Company in your paper of "Tuesday last, and after a lapse of several days, a Letter has been advertised, signed " Win. Houldsworth." Respecting the remark in that Letter oe the Notice signed by the Deputy Ch airman of the Egremont4Steam packet Company, (in the absence of Mr. Lowry, the C ha irman, ) it is unnecessary for me to say more than that Mr. Macintyre was one of the original Proprietors of the Company, and is a gentleman who is net likely to fall into the sphere of Mr. Houldsworth's acquaintance. But, iu reply to this Letter of Mr. Houldsworth, 1 have to state -Ist. That before, and not after, the Provisional Committee, of which Mr. Houldsworth was one, entered into treaty with me, they were aware of my Contract with Mr. Askew, and that 1 agreed to lease to theta on such Contract. So lunch for dis covery of ownership. 2d. I did not offer to repay the Shareholders their,money to " shelter" myself from legal proceedings by the - Company against me; but, that no. shareholder might have any cause of complaint at delay, 1 offe..ed to purchase hio Shares. And I may here state, what Mr. Houldsworth has. omitted, that at a Geiieral Meeting of the Proprietors to consider the necessity of adopting legal proceedings against intr it was resolved that such proceedings would be utincessary#6d inexpedient." That Committee then resigned, and a new one was formed. 3d. It was before, and not after this, that Mr. Askew obtained the opinion mentioned, in Mr. Houldsworth's Letter, and which opinion is given on a partial statement of facts. It was long before this opinion was o!eained, and not in consequence of it, that I had offered, for the sake of buying peace, to accept a de duction of a much small if sum from the put chase money than I considered I was entitled to. Mr. Houldsworth again forgets to state that the eminent Counsel Mr. Askew consulted thought "it would be imprudent in Mr. Askew to sell pending the Con tract with me ;" and he also forgets to state that the Counsel recommended Mr. Askew not to accept a Lease from the Crown, which Mr. Askew nevertheless afterwards did; and, in addition, he, against my written request, and to my prejudice, gave up important rights, atAl also undertook to pay the Crown an an nual Rent of greater amount than was mentioned in our Con tract as the acknowledgment under the grant from the Crown. 4th. Mr. Askew never did offer to leave the decision of the dispute to three Barristers. Every offer he made I have by me in writing, with my replies thereto, all which Letters are open to inspection. I may state that the dispute is simply, whether I am to pay the same price for a 31 years' lease of property, bringing in one thousand pounds per annum, as for the fee simple of such property. As for the paragraph, that-it might not be safe or proper for Mr. Houldsworth to publish the statements of Mr. Askew, and his Solicitor, Mr. Peacock, (who also appears to be solicitor to Mr. Houldsworth and to the intended Company) relative to my conduct in the affair; it is such a,paragraph as could not have proceeded from an honest and good heart, and will not be re garded by any person whose opinion is of value. I shall not, therefore, condescend to take any notice of it. Equally con temptible is the insinuation about the purchase money, which is eade to be paid when the dispute shall be settled. This Mr. Houldsworth, it appears, with a full knowledge of all these facts, (obtained by him as a committee-man,) and the knowledge that 1 had filed a bill in Chancery against Mr. Askew foi performance of the contract, has thought proper to purchase the property, and then, during this rage fur Com panies, to advertize part of it at a higher price than he knew I had agreed to pay for the whole. I am aware that the respectable gentleman to whom Mr. Houldswoith has referred, as the late Chairman of the Egre moot Steam-iiacket Ciiintiony, as' well as the one who now fills that situation, entertain only one feeling with respect to the con duct of Mr. Houldsworth; and I shall not hereafter reply to any future statement that may be published. My duty to the public in informing them how they would be situated, and cautioning them, is fulfilled. Any lawyer will instantly inform persons, whether they can, under any circumstances, deal safely with Mr. Houldsworth or Mr. Askew, respecting the property. I have only to repeat, that the contract, all correspondence, cases, andlpinions of different eminent counsel; are ready to be shown whenever required. Temple-court, 30th April, 1836.

TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 3, i 836. A London ministerial paper intimates, with an autho ritative tone, that the KING of the French has resolved to interfere more energetically than hitherto in favour of the QUEEN of Spain. Ten thousand infantry are to be re cruited immediately and despatched to the seat of war. These men are •to be commanded by French officers selected from. the regular army. A number of horses are to be furnished, and French ships are to be employed in conveying them to Vittoria, where it is said the French are to co-operate with the British mercenaries under Colonel EvANs. So far all this looks well ; but it is not stated at whose expense these additional troops are to be maintained, nor how they are to procure the means of subsistence. Frenchmen, we believe, require food as well as English men, but unless it be sent them from France or procured for them from England, they run a sad chance of being starved to death as many hundreds of EVANS'S men were during the present winter, for although it be the month of May we can hardly say that the winter is terminated. For merly the French were admitted to be more active and successful pillagers than the English, but we question if this can be said of the heroes Ivlio at present compose the British legion in Spain. A vast portion of them were professional pillagers before they embarked in the " high and holy" cause of DONNA ISABELLA ; and yet with their well tried abilities they did not succeed in obtaining the necessary supplies. Whether this was owing to the repeated and merciless floggings of their commander we have no means of ascertaining, but sure we are they have not left much in the vicinity of Bilboa and Vittoria for the French to fatten upon. The weather may indeed be more propitious when these latter troops arrive, but it. is impossible to convert rocks into bread, or paving stones into rations of beef or mutton. But after all, is not this. mode of dealing with the con tending factions in Spain exceedingly disengenuous and pitiful on the part of France and England ?. Why inter fere:at-all if an open interference be cnntrary to - 111e faith of treaties ? Why not interpose boldly and put an end to the conflict promptly if it be deemed expedient or just to interfere at all ? These questions have been asked again and again, and yet we have not seen even an at tempt to answer them. The war lingers—our countrymen perish—the whole.army of Spain. is motionless—DON GARLOS threatens to march upon Madrid, and yet Lord PALMERSTON takes - credit to himself for having induced the KING of the French to permit ten thousand men to be recruited in that country. What if the aspirant to the Crown be in the capital before these French troops can enter the kingdom ? Will they attempt to dethrone him by means of a regular armament furnished by the con federate powers ? We Should think not, for that, in all probability, would provoke an European war. The noble secretary for foreign affairs cuts a very wretched figure in the whole of these proceedings. • The promised reduction of the newspaper stamp du ties has caused a kind of panic among the friends of cheap knowledge, which, to say the least .of it, is not very complimentary to the conductors of the whig and radical press. Everywhere we hear of new journals, of vast pretensions, being about to be established, and all sorts of schemes are afloat for the purpose of raising the necessary funds. Some of these are probably nothing more than attempts of ingenious liberals upon the cre dulity of the public, the money part of the scheme and its convenient appropriation being the chief object of the projectors. To us these "safe speculations" can only be matter of amusement. It is delightful to see the pains taken by the admirers of cheap knowledge to knock each other's eyes out. If there be any want of newspapers on the liberal side, it is strange that many of those so long es. tablislied should have been so eminently unsuccessful, and that the Chronicle should be the only London morn ing journal which supports O'CONNELL and his Majesty's ministers. If it arise from lack of talent that is quite another consideration, and involves a much more serious charge. If a difference of twopence in the price of a stamped sheet be a bounty in favour of highet talent on the whig side, it is odd that the important discovery was not made sooner, and that the EGERTON SMITH order of welters were not written down more than three years ago. But we do not admit this alleged want of talent, seeing how little is necessary in conducting' a whig news paper. It is true that an increased ingenuity is requi siteat present, considering that the old claptraps of reform, catholic emancipation, and the march of intellect, are either obsolete or are only used by the venerable stagers of the press who think as they thought thirty years 'ago, and are unconscious that their stale senilities are now only food for laughter. That more newspapers will be sold at the reduced price of fivepence than at sevenpence we are ready to believe; but that there can be any in ducement for bringing "six RICIIMONDS into the field," instead of one, we are not so willing to credit. However, the work goes'on merrily ! iVe are to have —so the advertisements proclaim—new joint stock com panies of political journalists, editors elected by ballot, broad sheets by scores of 3,000 solid inches of reading, and premiums upon newspaper shares more Valuable than those of the most profitable railway. We do not say that this is swindling; but we are at a loss to conceive how any journal can be successfully conducted upon such republican principles. Those who embark iii such un dertakings may have a few pounds to spare; but it strikes us that those who do embark in them will shortly . convince the world that they have more money..than brains. it is not for us to complain of the mania, be cause the more fools the more sport; but we should like to know what our ministerial contemporaries think of it. We are fortunately above the rage of the storm. The whig press will have the whole benefit of the experi ment; and if the new aspirants elbow the old actors off the political stage the latter will have to blame only themselves. They sought the change and they must bear the consequences. They e ncouraged the HuAtE,' ROEBUCK, BUCKINGHAM, and MOLESWORTH party—they pitied the CLEAVES and HETHERINGTONS—they — looked , " . • on pasSivelyina kg.ppt, 6;*.nlrTain 11 , the course of sys: ethatic swindling! . fur auclac.ions robfury which bas pre wailed for years ; if they suffer , fvf . tbeir apathy . an d . imprudence, Why, ail‘that can be they richly de serve it. .`. We have no object .oittltyo: to the proposed re duction of the stamp dot must protest against. the mean, personal,, and invidious nature of the reduc., thin. The scheme pro Pounded by Mr. SPRING RICE 13 e disgraceful to' the character of a British minister. It is . levelled at the property of one class of persons obvi onsly to bolster the declining fortunes of some of the ministerial journals. The Chancellor of the Exchequer. is evidently following up the threats of Lord BROUGHAM against the Times.,: The Morning ChrOnicle is too im-, potent to render any essential •service to the•ministry, but the Times is a thorn in their flesh, which they foot ishly imagine they can remove, or,at least subdue, by, counteraction. They never committed a greater mis-, take. They may confer more power upon the Chronicle, but they will augment, that of the Times in a much more , increased ratio. They may ruin some of the whigjour-: nals—they may pamper a new ally at the expense of art old one—but they cannot detract, in any possible way,' from the force and influence of theconse . ivative pres. TheY do . not mean it—anew do not ,fotes6e the effects of, their own measure-=but in reality-they. are giving to our party an extended lever which we shall employ against them. , ,There are some people who sneer at the power of the" press,4nd some so obtuse as to fear that an extension of its influence tvill be favourable only to.the designs of the; revolutionary faOod : Phis,. is a, great mistake. The people of this countryase,a *risible And reflecting pen ple. They can he misled—they can be htembugged—, they can be worked up to-frenzy :about ideal wrongs; but these feelings seldom endure 10ng.., Common sense : uniforthly comes to their relief, and they then take sig... nal vengeance on those who by deceiving have oppressed,' them. The state of public opinion,at this tooment,when whiggery is in the ascendant, and a rampant popisls • priesthood dictate to the King's ministers, is a pro o f th a t a systenciit imposture propped by wholesale lying can not be tolerated long in England. If the country were polled from one end to the other we should find two-. thirds of the people decidedly opposed to all he views and schemes of the present government. It is only amongst the vilest of the political dissenters --= among the quakers, baptists and unitarians, in alliance with the. Irish rabble of priests and laves—that any rancorous' opposition to conservative principles prevails. The great mass of our countrymen—almost all the respecti--, ble, intelligent, and religious classes—abhor the present confederacy, at the head of which is DANIEL O'CONNELL as a sort of father confessor to Lord MELBOURNE and Lord JOAN RUSSELL. The corporation- reform job is now fully understood. The people see What local pa triotism is. The deelaitners against corruption, family influence, and family patronage, are now in office and authority all over the land ; and the way in which they eutploy that patronage, and dispense corporation favours, for sinister porposes, without the slightest regard for ca pabili'y or talent, is too marked, too barefaced, and too odioits to be misunderstood or overlooked: But what has this; tot With the press? Every thing. The press is the mirror of society. . On its integrity and . vigilance depends whether the malversations, the cor rupt practices, and the selfish innovations of public men are to be concealed,or exposed, censured or - encouraged::: We care not w-ho are the conductors of the press. In the, multiplicity of sentinels there is the better chanCe for nesty and truth. Each is a spy. upon the other.. Com petition may, encourage gambling, but it is a protection against fraud. In this the sliopkeeping principle holds good—he who vends the best article will command the' best support arid the largest number of customers. Re move the .impediment favourable to monopoly and you secure the best staple production at the lowest price.,, The, more heavily a necessary or luxury is taxed the more encouragement is given to the contraband trader. It is for these reasons, and on these considet'ations that' we enter most cheerfully intCr the -general views - of ate, :Chancellor of the Exchequer, and declare ourselves - ready to make the . LisEnPoot. STANDARD.a - competitor Tor public patronage .with whatever rival may take" the field. • But it must not be forgotten that the present is a dif ficult if not a critical experiment. The country will-for. sonic time, and so long as the rage for speculation con--'• - tinues, be deluged with eplu-moral and rabid publica tions. The radical will most unquestionably destroy thel whig.press. One set of revolutionists will prey ui3orr another. The lean kine will swallow up the more ro bust.• The race of twaddlers, and the gentry of the; hoop, spinning top, and corl, floating tutyt philosophers—the cigar and tobacco-pipe poets- . --in short' the washerwomen of the press will be swept away. Ta lent alone will bear a premium in the market. Wooden,' nuttneg-s s. must disappear; and making every allowance" for whiggery and quackery none but those - who speaki out plainly, write honestly, and regard consistency will! have a chance - of success. The present is the greatest revolution that has been attetorted or perfected since the revolution of 1685. It is of far more importance tbatt'' the reform bill. Mr. SPRING RICE gives more power to, the press than ever it possessed before, He does: ,not"; know exactly' what he is doing; but ,that is why we should be IeSS thankful. — We have ever, been anxious that political opinions, and the views of men op-. posed to each other should be submitted to all classes - ot our countrymen, as if to a-jury sworn to decide accord-, ing to the evidence. We have nothing - to fear from such, an appeal to such a tribunal. We willingly join issue with our hostile contemporaries and wait the result., nut we must take leave to tell our conservative, friends that they, also, at this crisis have an important duty to discharge. There are many towns in England and Scot land where there is no tory journal of any spirit or pre,j , , tension to talent. They have too long suffered their press to languish for want of support. ,They have thi means of correcting this error, and if they do not now they will ere long have cause bitterly to lament their folly. If they require an example of success, and the: utility of exertion, we refer them to the short history of this journal, the most satisfactory and complete ever ad ventured upon for their benefit. Three . years ago it, could hardly be said that there was a truly conservative journal in Liverpool. We were then called a fallen and defunct factiOn. Every wiseacre of .a shop philo sopher, who could coin a paragraph, steal a report, or , bray vulgar balderdash about " reform," had the dacity to twit us with being powerless and helpless. They even had the rresumption to count our loss_ es, measure the duration of our existence, and pre-?: diet our inevitable dOom! We have ridden over the heads of these scurvy calculators, and we have tauglit them that they necer evinced more ignorance than when they prophesied the ruin of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD . It is now one of the most extensively - read and hest vertised papers in England. Vi e hope and trust that. these remarks will tend to encourage in other establishment of conservative journals. . . We perceive that a meeting has been called by the, MAYOR for the purpose of "taking into Consideration the, present critical position of the Irish municipal reforni bill, and the propriety of addressing tile - JONG and the House of Commons thereon.". The meeting is to take place in the Sessions-house on Friday next. • . There is something s o glaringly' indecent In this pro position that we.regret to ,see the name of the M A Y OR a ttached to it.
