IS POPERY AGGRESSIVE ? THE perversion of justice for the condemnation of the innocent is, God be thanked, of the rarest occurrence in our age and country.

Irrespective of the paramount individual interests which are affected, the social and political results of the spread of Popery are such as to demand the most energetic interference of the legislative and administrative departments of the State. Without considering the effects of the teaching and practice of the Church of Rome upon the future welfare of its disciples, it is the duty of the politician and statesman to trace and ascertain their influence upon the temporal condition of the people and upon the prosperity of the nation. It were in vain that a Constitution, perfected by the most consummate wisdom and the most extensive experience, should bestow upon each member of the community the largest amount of individual liberty consistent with the general safety, and the amplest privileges of citizenship, if the enjoyment of such liberty and the exercise of such privileges were constantly liable to control from an external influence of the most powerful and urgent kind. We cannot hesitate, however, for one moment, to declare, that the influence at present exercised, and greatly on the increase, among the Roman Catholic Clergy, must effectually prevent their disciples from profiting by their privileges, and must seriously interfere with the practical working of our political institutions. Popery, therefore, is continually aggressive upon the Constitution of the realm, and the rights of the people, and it becomes all true patriots to enter into a mature deliberation as to the best means of protecting our political and social system from the dangers, open and covert, with which it is threatened from the Popish party. THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN AND OURSELVES. WE did not observe, until too late to reply to the article in our last publication, that the commercial editor of the Manchester Guardian had undertaken to "correct an error" into which he says we had fallen, in contraventing some remarks of the London Times. In supplying the omission, we shall first suggest that, when a journalist voluntarily steps forward to take up another party's quarrel, he should state the question at issue fairly. The fol lowing is the correct version of our remarks, which the Guardian attempts to refute : " The Times contrasts the present state of things with that which existed in 1846 and 1847. This is most disin genuous. Every one knows that. in those years the ma nufacturing population were compelled to be put upon short time, partly owing to scarcity of cotton, and partly to the operation of our absurd monetary system. With discounts at from ten to fifteen per cent, and cotton at nearly double ita ordinary price, there is little wonder that the operative classes were reduced in those years to a condition of great suffering. That they have recovered themselves since, is to be attributed mainly to abundant crops of the raw material, and to the extension of the ba sis of our currency, brought about by the discoveries in California and Australia." The Guardian omits altogether the fact that we attributed the distress amongst the manufacturing operatives in 1846-7 " partly" only to the short crop of cotton, and "partly to the operation of our absurd monetary system." The fallacy of his reply to us arises in a great measure from this unfaii suppression of a portion of our remarks. He is perfectly aware that it was in consequence of the scarcity of money and the high rates of interest in 1847, that a considerable number of the mills in the manufacturing districts were put upon short time ; that both home and foreign markets were driven, into a condition of panic and disaster; and that the raw material was kept much below the price which it would otherwise have commanded. The same shirking of the money element of the question renders unfair the Guardian's referenbe to the condition of the country in 1851 and 1852. He says : " If this (the short crop of cotton) was the cause of a restricted trade in 1846 and 1847, why has not the same cause produced a similar reFult in 1831 and 1832 ? Ia 1816 the price of cotton was 4. 1 ,(1. per lb. for several months, and up to September it had advanced about Id. The highest price was attained at the close of 1846 and the commencement of 1847, when once or twice it was quoted as high as 7d. per lb. But in 1851, with the best trade we have ever known in this district, cotton of the same quality reached Bkd. per lb., and still exceeds the average of 1846." The answer is very simple. We had the Bank of England in 1847 within twenty-bur hours of stopping payment, and for a considerable portion of the year the enterprise of the country was in a state of suspension. We have had, on the con trary, in 1851 and this year, a plethora of money, and discounts easily procurable at 21 to 3 per cent. The Guardian almost admits that something be yond the influence of Free Trade has caused the improved position of the manufacturing popula tion, where in a subsequent portion of his article, he observes : " There was a short crop of cotton in 1846.7, but the demand was not large, and the warehouses were left full of goods, while after the short crop of 1850-51 such was the elasticity of trade that extraordinary expedients had to be resorted to that the fabrics of this district might meet the demand. The smoking of heavy goods was in many cases abandoned, and lighter ones were substituted to such an extent, along a ith other means of economising the raw matsrial, that more labour was supplied so the People out of this short crop, which went up to 84-d. per lb., than had ever been known before, and stocks of goods were almost unknown, and have been ever since." We have yet to learn that the " elasticity of trade" in 1850-1 was caused corn-laws. The countries from which we have recently been receiving our chief supplies of grain, have certainly not very materially increased their imports of our manufactured goods, if we except America, whose consumption has been stimulated by her Californian acquisition. The great increase experienced has been from India and China, coun tries not at all favourably affected by the Free-trade measures of 1546 AUSTRALTA.-A moving panorama of the emigrant's route from England to Australia is now open in Bold street.

Saturday last. The few samples of new Wheat win have yet app:ared at market are very inferior in qualit and condition, and give evidence of having suffered a goo deal from weather. The delivery of Tawny Oats ha .ve bee somewhat increased ; their condition, notwithstanding the improvement in the weather. is anything but sats factory, and prices have declined 63 per barrel since this day se'nuight. The value of old Oats is fully maintained." We have another rather more gratifying report from Cork of the same date, yet bearing out our previous re- irarks, so far as regards diversity of quality " Another week, like the past, of fi woul enable the farmers to secure the grain crops in fine con dition, particularly Barley and Oats, which are of superior y, and above an average yield. The Wheat too, as has been sown, will render a fair amount of pro luce, but in quality rather diversified. The farmers have been so busily engaged reaping that the deliveries have not been as large as might have been expected." THE RECENT POISONING CASE.-A SUG GESTION TO THE BENEVOLENT. The case of the poor girl, Elizabeth Rimmer, who was attempted to be poisoned by her mother and aunt, now lying under sentence of death at KirHale, is, we are glad to observe, exciting the sympathy of a portion of the public. We have received from a parish, in nearly the most remote part of Northumberland, the following ap propriate suggestion respecting her, which we feel plea sure in being able to lay before our readers : TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD " SlR,—With much concern I have read in your Ir.st impression an account of the trial of the two women, Rim mer, for the attempt to poison the daughter of one of them. I know nothing of the case further than the brief account in your journal, but I felt horrified in perusing the atrocious suggestions of the mother and aunt, prior to their attempt upon the life of the poor girl. " Is not this a case demanding the sympathy and assist ance of some of the beneficent ladies and gentlemen who are, happily, so numerous in Liverpool ? Ido not allude to some temporary pecuniary assistance, or the shelter of the workhouse, but to a permanent benefit. Why should not the poor girl be sent to Australia, where there is no lack of food and shelter for all decent girls ? Surely, Rimmer can feel no regret at leaving a home such as she must have had, with fiends like her mother and aunt. — I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "A NORTHUMBRIAN CURATE." The rev. writer, who has furnished us with his name and address, kindly offers, in the event of her being wil ling to emigrate, and the Commissioners affording her a passage to Australia, to pay half the usual deposit for single women, if the other half and the small outfit can be provided by the compassionate in the neighbourhood. We feel assured that there will be no difficulty in meeting the rev. gentleman's views ; and we cordially recommend the case to the consideration of our readers. It should be borne in mind that the great offence of this poor girl was that she preferred virtuous poverty to the life of infamy urged upon her by her degraded mother and aunt. We shall be happy to be the recipients of any subscriptions for her benefit. COLLISION ON THE RIVER LAST NIGHT.—Last night, about eight o'clock, the steam-tug Powerful ran foul of a flat lying at anchor off the south-end of the landing-stage. The flat received little injury, but the steamer had the outer part of her starboard paddle-box carried away. No one was hurt. CURIOUS FREAK OF LIGHTNING. --Yesterday after noon, during the height of the thunder-storm, which raged about two o'clock, th e e l ec t r i c fluid struck the colour-pole of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club in the gar den in front of the hotel at Birkenhead Ferry, and before it reached the earth its course was most eccentric. The lightning struck the topmast of the pole on the south side, from which direction the storm appeared to come, and wound round the pole to the north side, taking a groove out of the wood, in shape like the worm of a cork screw. After traversing the pole in this manner for some distance, the fluid darted in a direct line to the earth, split. ting the lower part of the mast. Considerable apprehension was felt by those in the immediate neighbourhood that the lightning had struck an iron steamboat—the Mersey— which was lying alongside a pier close to, the funnel of which was seen to shake very much at the time. The pole that was struck is a little to the south of, and just behind, the pay-gate at Birkenhead Ferry, and although there were necessarily many persons about at the moment of the occurrence, providentially no one received any injury. The pole, which is still standing, may be seen by the water for that purpose INQUBSTS.—Yesterday there were no fewer than seven inquisitions taken before the borough coroner, Mr. P. F. Curry. The first was on the body of a man about twenty eight years old, named Samuel Little, and the bedroom steward in the fore-saloon of the City of Glasgow, steam packet, who was accidentally drowned by falling into the water whilst walking along the Wellington Pier head, on Sunday evening last.—On Owen Burns, a dock labourer, living in Kitchen-street, who died on Thursday last from the effect of severe injuries received from a fal whilst working on board the Bollona on the 7th inst.—On Bridget Burns, a child two years of age, whose death was caused by falling huid-foremost into a pan of water during the absence of her parents from the house.— On Margaret Ann Stout, who died on Sunday morning whilst suffering from a severe fit of coughing.—On an old man named Thomas Jackson, an inmate of the workhouse, who died suddenly on Saturday last.—On Eliza Peters, 15 years of age, servant to Mrs. Catherine Gregory, 106, Field-street, Everton, who fell into the area below whilst cleaning the second story windows of her mistress's house, on Satur day morning, and was instantly killed, having dislocated her neck.—And on William Lamb, aged 11 years, who was accidentally drowned in the canal in Chartres -street, whilst left in charge of a boat unloading there.—ln each of these cases verdicts were returned in accordance with the evidence. WHEN LORD DORCHESTER was governor of Canada, young ensign of the garrison, newly arrived, was invited, as a matter of course, to dine at Government House. The governor was a precise, pragmatical man ; while the young " slip of quality," for such he happened to be, was, on the contrary, a gauche, ignorant. under-bred lad. On this occasion ho first mangled a fowl in endeavouring to carve it, to the silent horror of Lord Dorchester ; and then he upset a glass of wine on the table on trying to recover his balance. This was too much for gubernatorial flesh and blood to bear. " Sir," exclaimed the irate governor, pointing to the stained damask, •' where could you have been brought up ?" "My Lord," was the cool reply, " I was brought up at my father's table, wilt re we bed a dean tablecloth every day." Sctre weeks or so thereafter Lady Dorchester and her young family being in the lower town, which was then surface-drained by large open gutters, occasion ally of very offensive amplitude, one of the children, a fine little boy, in attempting to leap the drain, fell right into it. The ensign, who was on guard close by, saw the acci dent, and at once rescued the child. Lady Dorchester, who was, perhaps, the proudest woman living, recognising " retort courteous" t ern wno Ilan made the I 3S nd above referred t o , a t .. h your unwhofesome I god-natured ( spectable d it 1 the prefect, determine( I criminal hc,iated, rpure - e, Lion of nY tamed a events it 1 to quence of it lowing circular to strued owe to F an or instances body was tant mi- that this order lee been revc has not as yet been acted upon, and, is conse the Bishop addressed the fol.. ged in grief in conse- 118 clerg dioc 'ore the late./ —" Notice.—Thy. -.se is piun, y quence of the non-execution of the orders of the Minister Lt of Public Worship respecting the burial-ground of Cu n Band.

D. Evans Yates, jun., who appeared for Jones, solicitors to the assignees. Previous to the case being his last examination. He and opposed by Mr. J. Messrs. Christian and gone into, the 1 CO:sIMISSIONER inquired wh Jones did not appear themselves. Mr. YATES replied that they were never known to appear in any court whatever. He, however, appeared more as a friend than as an advocate for the party. His HONOUR said it was not right for one attorney to appear for another, and reminded Mr. Yates of a decision of the Queen's Bench on the subject. Mr. YATES then fetched one of the firm mentioned to the court ; after which he applied to the court to adjourn the examination sine die, on account of the unsatisfactory nature of the balance-sheet. Christian and His HONOUR said he thought Mr. Yates intended, as the friend of Mr. Christian, to make suggestions, but not to address the court. Mr. YATES hoped his honour would allow him to go on this once, and he would not offend again. He then pro ceeded to argue that the accounts given by the bankrupt were so meagre, together with the fact of no proper books having been kept, that the examination ought not to pass. Mr. EVANS said the bankrupt was a very ignorant man, and the estate was the poorest be ever saw before the court. He also knew that the bankrupt was so poor that he had not sixpence in the world. After some questions respecting several sums of money paid to the bankrupt, which he explained as having spent in builiing, it was agreed to adjourn the examination for a day, the balance-sheet not having been filled in time. Mr. YATES expressed his doubts as to the poverty of the bankrupt. The bankrupt assured the court that he had not one penny, and was obliged to beg money to enable him to come to Liverpool to attend his examination. Mr. YATES.—Then it is useless saying anything about costs. ALL SAINTs' SCHOOLS.—The subscribers and friends of the All Saints' Parish Schaols will be glad to learn that the foundation stone of the new building is to be laid on Friday next, at 12 o'clock, by Mr. Alderman Molyneux, assisted by the Rev. Rector Campbell. The site chosen for the schools adjoins the church, in Great Nelson-street North. There can be little doubt from the arrangements made that the ceremony will be a very interesting one. VISIT OF THE ORANGEMEN TO THE ISLE OF Our contemporaries are having a wonderful lot of talk about the " visit" which, they will have it, is that of the " Liverpool" Orangemen to the Isle of Man. The Orangemen in question are not Liverpool Orangemen at all; and if our contemporaries had not been so busy the morning in question, the Orangemen would have arrived and departed without notice. As it is, a bodyof Orangemen from Wigan, &c., left Liverpool for the Isle of Man on Saturday morning, with no parade whatever, and no sur veillance of police ; and returned last night in the same harmless manner. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—We are happy to learn that the lecture season will be commenced on the 17th of September, with a lecture " On the Political Economy of the Bible," by the Rev. Henry Raikes, the amiable and respected chancellor of the diocese. He will be succeeded by the Revs. Dr. Hume, Mr. Gell, late principal of the college at Hobart Town,: and who is about to visit New Zealand as Bishop of Christ Church, Dr. Baylee, St. Vincent Beechey. J. B. Owen, of Bi!ston, David James, S. B. Sutton, W. W. Ewbank, and Hugh Stowell, of Manchester, an array of names as brilliant as the sub jects of their intended lectures are interesting. TOR I.,kw OF DINNERS. A correspondent of an Edinburgh paper inquires whether the partakers of a public dinner are liable to the landlord for wines ordered and drank promiscuously, although the price of the ticket was previously fixed ? The query, it appears, has reference to a late two-and-sixpenny banquei M.P. at a watering place, where a s dinner to the amount of £52, by sot duals—leayine the landlord to ,s run up after compar himself unknown indivi- ig the lion ,earned The case, says our conter. porary, each to the extent of his share, and the landlord will have no difficulty in recovering the price of the wines consumed from those present. 6ANDGATE, IN KENT, a pleasant little watering-place near Folkstone, offers an instance of what may be done under the public health act.

ROBBERY AT CORK BY A GENTLRMAN.—A respect• able-looking young man, who appeared before the bench in the naval uniform of the East India service, was brought up at the Cork police- o ffi ce on S aturday, under the following circumstances :—lt•appeared that William O'Sullivan, Esq., Carriganass Castle, was staying at the Albert Hotel, on Friday night, and on retiring to bed, he left a sum of money, amounting to £3OO in large and small notes, on the dressing-table of his bed-room.

AUGL IST 31, 1852 THE CO NSERVATIVE WATCHWORD. hol.esome rr. that says s est et ab , ceri." rselves from observing the langu sane and conduct our acivers es are generally of much N ous and fatal e to follow the volunteered advice ue the line of conduct which our enemy, and pu declares to be proper for us When we come to analyse the charges which have been preferred, with eve variety of calum- nious assertion and insinuation, against Lord DERBY'S Government, the essence of the whole seems to be tha the noble Earl has refused to act upon the suggestions of the Opposition, and so play their game for them ; that he has abstained from revealing to his unscrupulous foes the plan of his campaign; and that he has shown himself con temptuously indiffent to the sneers, and ridicule, and detraction of the organs of the various cliques and coteries which comprise the unholy and un natural Liberal Alliance. Lord DERBY will neither dissolve nor re-assemble Parliament at the bidding of enemies ; he will not be deterred from doing his duty to his country by the taunts of any section or offshoot of the Liberal party; but he will bide his time, for the vindicatis:n of his honour and ability as aman and a Minister. The power of imp Lidence can no further go than to make a great outcry—as the Liberal press has lately been doing—about the gross violation of faith on Lord DERBY'S part, in not calling Parliament together for the despatch of business before the month of November. Let our readers think for a moment of the consternation that would have spread from moor to moor, from county to county, and across the channel, had Lord DERBY brought up the Members of both Houses to town in the course of September or October. Because the Noble Premier expressed his intention of meeting the new Parliament before the period at which the session usually commences, he is charged by the rabid press of the Opposition with wilful breach of faith, in not commencing at the earliest possible moment, irrespective of the convenience of the members or the exigencies of the country. Precipitation, to which the Opposition would fain drive Lord DERBY, he feels to be the very course which would ruin his cause; and be therefore, most wisely and carefully, takes the best precautions against it. The substantial business transacted during the last Session, notwithstanding all the obstacles thrown in the way of the new government, may well bear comparison, both as to character and as to amount, with the achievements of previous years; and the capability of the Cabinet for the dis charge of its various specific duties, has been suffi ciently established during the short period of its efficient existence, in spite of the extraordinary dif left to it as legacies by its predecessors. therefore, that all honest and impartial We trust men, whether member of parliament or not, will treat with due contempt the idle and dishonest babble of the Liberals about Lord DERBY'S breaches of faith, and the incompetency of his col leagues. The position which the noble Earl has been obliged by circumstances to assume, is one of an exceptional ch acter. He is not so much to be considered as the Leader of a great party, opposing the principles and measures of another definite and ascertained party, as a statesman summoned to the helm of affairs at a time when the misconduct and mismanagement, the want of discipline and of power of those who, before him, conducted the navigation of the Vessel of State, bad brought it into the most difficult and dangerous position, from which he alone seemed able to extricate it. Parties are at the present moment in an unsettled and transitory state. There is no longer that clear, broad line of demarcation which formerly existed between them. The cohesion of the component members of the two great parties is destroyed or impaired ; and there must be a reformation of party ere long, if the country is to have a strong Govern ment, acting wholesomely and powerfully under the check of a strong Opposition. But, whatever may be the forms which the rival parties in the State may ultimately assume, it is evident that Lord DERBY must be the leader of that great body whose characteristic principle it is to conserve and foster in the institutions of the country all that has been proved by experience to be beneficient and conducive to the welfare of the people and the glory of the nation, and to protect them from the rash encroachments of that reckless spirit of Demo cracy—already far too rife, and of whose disastrous Effects the annals of Continental Europe, for the last few years, contain so many a fatal proof. Still, therefore, we would proclaim that the Watchword of all true Conservatives must be-- " CONFIDENCE IN LORD DERBY." ADVANTAGE OF LIGHTNING CONDUCTORS.—LateIy ' a th un derstorm occurred in this t own an d ne i g hb our h ood. One clap of thunder was unusually loud and startling in its effects. It seemed not merely to stun, but to strike some persons, causing them to s t ar t b ac k severa l paces. The electric fluid struck St. Marti n ' s c h urc h, w hi c h , for tunately, bas a lightning conductor. The bright fluid was observed to curl round the vane, as if playful, arid then streamed down the spire, finding it s wa y i nto the earth, without doing any injury. It is difficult to say what amount of mischief to the fabric and the surrou n di ng houses might have ensued , had not a lightning conductor been fixed to the spire, a few years ago, at the suggestion of Mr. W. S. Lockwood.
