The operation is performed without the least pain, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds hardens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute the most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary.

They may also be taken out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility. In consequence of their improvements in the mechanical departments of Dentistry, Monsieur La DRAY is enabled to supply Artificial Teetb at the following Paris charges : A Single Artificial Tooth A Set..

After six months' experience, I can certify that the eradi cation of two corns from my feet, which have annoyed me for thirty years, has been effected by Mr. Eisenberg. It is impossible to praise his dexterity too much. HARCOURT LEES, Black Rock House. London, May 5, 1841. (Copy of Testimonial from Wm. Murphy, Esq., M.D.) I have been suffering with a painful corn in the sole of my foot. Mr. Eisenberg removed it by one operation, and I have had since the most decided ease and comfort. I con sider Mr. E. a dexterous and scientific operator, as I had many opportunities of comparing his mode of operating with that of others. WILLIAM MURPHY, M. D. 43, South-mall, Feb. 17, 1841.

The WHOLE SURPLUS PROFITS belong to the AS SURED, and are divisible septennially. As ascertained from the investigation at 31st December, 1838, these Profits were sufficient to secure— lst,—A RETROSPECTIVE BONUS of Two per Cent. per Annum, or FOURTEEN per Cent. for the Septennial Period, not only on the Original Sum as sured, but likewise on the BONUS ADDITIONS PREVIOUSLY DECLARED. 2d,—A CONTINGENT PROSPECTIVE BONUS of Two per Cent. per Annum, to be paid from 31st De cember, 1838, on all Policies of Five years' standing that may emerge before 31st December, 1845, when next Investigatioh takes place. The Directors are empowered to grant LOANS to MEM BERS, on the Security of their Policies, to the extent of nine-tenths of their value at the time, and also, on application to that effect being made by parties, to convert their BONUS ADDITIONS into an equivalent deduction from the future ANNUAL PREMIUMS, or to give them in ready money the value of the additions at the date of application.

THIS Company is established upon the system, which has been so well received by the Public, of granting Assu rances upon one or other of two Plans, at the option of par ties. These are— Ist. The Participation Plan, by which, at a moderate premium, the Assured are allowed to share in the Company's profits, and to receive all the advantages of Mutual Assu rance, without the smallest risk ; and 2nd. The Non-Participation Plan, by which Assurers are guaranteed a certain fixed sum, without additions, at the lowest rate of premium consistent with safety. The first of these plans is well adapted for those who make their Assurance principally or entirely as a Provision for their Families, and are desirous, without risk, to have their policies increased by valuable additions. The second plan, it has been found, is generally adopted by parties who wish, either in connexion with Loans, or for the purpose of securing Debts, to assure the largest amount at the smallest premium. The Scale of Premiums calculated for the latter plan, and of which examples are annexed, has been constructed as low as safe and authentic data permit, and • offers very peculiar advantages in the rate to that class of Assurers by whom this plan is preferred. - In the Distribution'of Profits, Parties assuring with this Office have the great and well-known advantage of early connecting themselves with - a Company established within the last few years, which has not yet made a Division of Profits, and which has already secured a very large and in creasing business.

AGEI, Liverpool, October, 1841 by applying to DELL, I, King-street, rT FOR LIVERPOOL UNITED STATES The splendid steam-ship Acadia, Captain Ryrie, ar rived here on Friday evening at nine o'clock. She left Boston on the 16th, and Halifax at six on the evening of the 18th, and has thus made the passage in eleven days, which is an excellent run at this season of the year. She brings seventy-six pass engers . The trial of M`Leod, which lasted eight days, has ended in his acquittal. The apathy which prevailed at Utica at the commencement of this trial seems to have continued to the close, and forms a remarkable con trast to the intense interest with which it was regarded in other parts of the United States, in Canada, and, above all, in this country. "At no time," says one of the accounts, " was the court filled, and it has been frequently the case during the progress of the trial, that the court had not 100 persons in it, save the wit nesses and parties interested." The reporters, barris ters, and witnesses seem to have constituted the prin cipal part of the assemblage. Th e pres idi ng j u d ge seems to have acted with ability and partiality, and his charge at the close was unequivocally in favour of the prisoner. In short, a more conc l usive ali bi was never established, and a greater mass of perjury and fraud on the part of the witnesses for the prosecution has rarely seen the light. The jury were only in deliberation 20 minutes when they returned a verdict of acquittal. During the trial, INPLeod seems to have conducted himself with self-possession and firmness. When the verdict was delivered, not the least manifestation es caped the audience—all was quiet and orderly, and the forebodings which were indulged in by parties not ha bitually croakers, have happily been disappointed. The counsel on each side appear to have been the only ex ceptions to the good feeling which prevailed. They exhibited a good deal of acerbity, and no little animo sity. After the examination of a number of witnesses on the fourth and fifth days, the Attorney-General com menced his reply, and occupied until Monday the seventh day. On Tuesday Judge Gridley charged the jury,- and in the course of half an hour they returned with a verdict of Not Guilty. We take the following on the " Relations with Eng land" from the New York Herald of the 15th instant, from which it will be seen that Col. Grogan has been set at liberty. RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND. The trial of Nl`Leod is now over, the new cabinet of Presi dent Tyler is filled up, preparations are in progress for placing the country in a state of defence, putting ships in commission, arming fortifications, invigorating every branch of the public service, and getting ready for any possible contingency that may arise, and now is the proper time for setting on foot measures for 'the adjustment of all our manifold points of difference with Great Britain. The sovereignty of the state of New York has been asserted and vindicated, M`Leod held to trial and acquitted for want of evidence necessary to his conviction, and this, too, in the face of an unqualified de mand by the British government for his release. We have made no concession to Great Britain —we have shown unequivocally that we will not yield one single inch to insolent pretension; now, then, is the time for our government to take steps to settle all the delicate and perplexing questions between us, many of which have been the subjects of nego tiation, and angry correspondence for years. In the first place, we must indemnify APIJeod amply for his detention and trouble. He deserved all the inconvenience to which he has been subjected for his boastful folly, but it is not for this government to inflict punishment in that way. He must be indemnified fully, and to his own satisfaction. That question will then be disposed of. That, however, is a subordinate matter. The Caroline outrage, the violation of the laws of nations in the invasion of our soil, is a grave and important offence, and must be redressed. The blood of Durfee m us t be atoned for—the property destroyed must be paid for, and then we can go to other points of difficulty. The capture of Grbgan, now that he has been given up, can be easily arranged. L e t th e B r iti s h g overnment disavow his arrest and detention, and satisfy Grogan for his trouble, and there is an end to that question. Then comes the long-vexed question of the north-eastern boundary. This is a matter of great delicacy and difficulty, but the longer it is delayed the more complicated does it be come. There is no reason to anticipate a period more auspicious for its equitable and satisfactory adjustment than the present: In regard to the seizure of American vessels on the Coast of Africa, there is a good deal of misunderstanding, and an infinity of m isrepresentation. It is not unlikely that some of the British ships -of-war have strained a po►nt in their eagerness after prize -money, but it must be considered that we have long pursued precisely the same course in the Gulf of Mexico, whenever we have overhauled a suspicious look- tag yowl, whothi panish, Portuguato, or English lotours, Upon n proper representation of the facts, It is not to be doubted that England will give us any reparation and remuneration which we can justly demand. If she declines, we can persuade her at the mouth of the cannon. Lastly, there is the north-western boundary, and the ques tion of jurisdiction at and about the mouth of the Columbia river. Why procrastinate any of these matters ? Nothing is to be gained by delay. On the contrary, speedy action is far more likely to be effectual. Most of these questions have sprung up within a recent period, and they have exercised a most injurious influence on mercantile affairs. They create a mutability in business transactions, causing vexations and embarrassments which none but merchants can appreciate. Let our government make a bold and decided movement now, and all the difficulties can be settled in two months time. Never was there a more propitious period. Every indication is favourable to an amicable and satisfactory adjustment. A. whig ministry in England is always trimming and truckling to every paltry interest in the country, and has neither the courage nor magnanimity to act generously or justly. They court the support of that class whose buSiness interests are hostile to those of the United States. A tory ministry, on the contrary, is stronger, and has less motive to cultivate a feeling adverse to the country. At the present time, a liberal high-minded course towards the United States would be al most generally popular, and a demand on England for repar ation for the Grogan and Caroline outrages, with a proposition for the prompt arrangement of the other questions, if made in a spirit of becoming firmness, would, no doubt, be well received, and lead to the happiest results. There is a consideration in this connexion which must bear great weight with the English ministry when properly pre sented to their notice. The power of Great Britain over her American possessions is held by an attenuated and extremely feeble thread. Canada is in the most critical condition. The upper province is now in the incipient stage of revolution. Nothing but the presence of a strong military force can over awe the turbulence of feeling existing there, and repress an outbreak. Hunters' lodges, a species of confederation, have been organised all over the province, and, in the event of a continuance of amicable relations between the British govern ment and our own, Great Britain will have great difficulty in maintaining her ascendancy in Canada. But, in case of a rupture between the two governments, the internal dissen sions prevailing there would inevitably throw the whole British possessions in North America into the hands of the ,United States. In this state of the case, and upon a careful survey of the whole ground, we are clearly of opinion that it is the dictate of wisdom and of sound policy to send a special minister forthwith to the court of St. James, and demand prompt re dress of the wrongs inflicted upon us by the authority of the British government, and at the same time propose a speedy settlement of all the questions now open between the two nations. President Tyler, by this course, supposing the re sult to be such as the circumstances give us a right to anti cipate, would win immortal honour. The whole country would support him in a bold national movement of this kind. Let Mr. Webster be selected for the mission, and supported by our active preparations for anYmmergency that may arise, anti the whole thing might be accomplished in two months. The stock market at New York was still falling. Money continued sufficiently abundant for business purposes. Cotton was arriving in the southern ports in considerable quantities. A general decline in flour of from 25 to 50 cents per barrel had taken place all through the states. It was likely that the price of cot ton would rule low during the whole season, as the crop would at least be as large as the last, and, if the planters had a good picking season, would considerably exceed it. The fall trade had ceased earlier than usual, but a fair amount of business was done—a large pro portion for cash. The receipts of tolls on the canals had been larger than at any previous season, and there had been a universal complaint at the west of the want of - tonnage to carry the produce to market. NEW YORK COTTON MARKET, OCT. 15.—Since the de parture of the last steamer the sales of cotton have reached about 9,000 bales, at a decline of id. Our present stock is a little over 12,000 bales, of which we quote New Orleans at 74 to 11, Mobile 74 to 104, Upland and Florida 7 to 10. The sales'yesterday reached 700 bales. The Flour market is still unsettled, though with somewhat more animation than at our last accounts. Genesee may be quoted at sdlrs. 621 c. to sdlrs. 75c. ; Ohio, ditto ; Michigan, sdlrs. 624 c. SAVANNAH, OCT. 9.—COTTON.—The receipts both by river and railroad have been 1,259 bales Upland and 8 Sea Island. The sales are as follow :-6 at 8, 47 at 81, 165 at 81, 87 at Bi, 235 at 9, 13 at 9 1-6, and 55 at 91, making a total of 608 bales. The weather, with a few hours exception, has continued fine, as reported in our last, and every such week adds certainty to the promise of good crops. 100 casks rice have been sold at 31 to 31 per cwt. About 4,000 bushels new have been received this week, and we hear of a sale of 20 casks of the new crop at 3i, quality only middling. Ex change—Sterling is nominal—on New York, sight drafts 1 per cent. prem. ; 60 days 1. dis. Freights—One ship is up for Liverpool, and part of her cargo has been engaged at 1d ; coastwise remain without change, 75c. per bale for cotton to New York, and 50c. for rice. NEW ORLEANS, OCT. s.—The prevailing impression here is, that, under any circumstances, the cotton crop cannot prove larger than that of last year. Moreover, our receipts of first pickings are inferior in quality, which does not favour the idea of a large crop. Before the receipt of the Caledo nia's news, sales were making very freely, chiefly from France, at fli to 8} for fair to middling; but since that time business has been in a great measure suspended, and the sales have been few and at declining prices. DREADFUL FIRE IN THE TOWER OF LONDON. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE GRAND ARMOURY (From the Morning Herald of Yesterday.) An event which will belong remembered in the annals of English history, and which may be regarded in every respect as a truly national calamity, occurred on Saturday night last, in the entire destruction, together with its contents, of that magnificent building forming so prominent a feature in the far-famed Tower of London, denominated " The Grand Store-house and Small Armoury," containing, in addition to an almost innumerable quantity of trophies and other evidences of British glory, no less a number than 300,000 stand of arms, &c. In order that an adequate idea may be formed of the ex tent of this serious loss to the country, it may be as well to give an accurate description of the building destroyed, taken from authentic records, before entering into any of the facts connected with it. " The grand storehouse is north of the 'White Tower, a fine building•of brick and hewn stones. It extends in length 345 feet, and is 60 broad ; it was com menced by James 11. and finished by William 111. On the first floor of this edifice is that mrgnificent room called the Small Armoury, in which William 111., with Queen Mary his consort, dined in great state, having all the warrant work workmen and labourers to attend them, dressed in white gloves and aprons. On the south side of this structure is a stately door-case, adorned with four columns, an entabla ture, and a triangular pediment of the Doric order. Under the pediments are the King's arms, with enrichments of trophy-work by the celebrated artist Gibbons. At the west end of this building is situated the church founded by Ed ward 111., and dedicated to St. Peter in Chains, in which are deposited the remains of many noble and some royal personages executed either in the Tower or on the hill, and buried here in obscurity. On the east side of this building is situate the newly-erected Jewel-tower, in which the regalia and all the crown jewels are kept." The first discovery of the fire was made about half-past ten o'clock by the sentry on duty at the Jewel-office, who perceived a bright light issuing from the windows of this tower, which is situated at the northern extremity of the building and immediately attached to the Grand Storehouse or Armoury, a lofty brick edifice occupying the whole length of the inner square or court, and directly facing the White Tower. He immediately ran to the station of the main guard in the centre quadrangle, and gave the alarm, when the bugles were sounded, and in a very short space of time the whole of the garrison were aroused, and called out to render assistance. The engines stationed in the Tower (of which there are several) were immediately on the spot, and were quickly followed by those of the neighbouring parishes, and almost immediately after by those of the brigade estab lishment, under the superintendence of Mr. Braidwood ; the County and West of England were admitted within the walls. The flames had by this time gained a fearful ascen dancy, and the fire had made its way from the Round Table Tower to the centre of the Grand Armoury, and burst forth from several windows with extraordinary fury, rapidly ex tending both east and west. The outer gates of the Tower were very properly closed, by order of the governor, against the admission of the public, the number of soldiers in the barracks affording an abundant supply of hands to work the various engines. The greatest possible difficulty, however, was experienced in obtaining a supply of water, and it was not until the hose had been conveyed to the water's edge that any thing like a sufficient quantity was obtained, and even then the distance was so great to the burning pile, that the labours of the firemen were frequently retarded for long intervals. In the Grand Armoury, which is stated to have been the largest room in Eur?pe, being upwards of 350 feet long and GO wide, were deposited 280,000 stand of arms, besides a vast quantity of military carriages, bombs, and other spoils of war captured by our troops in various parts of the world. The flames having once penetrated this hall, no hope existed that any portion of it would be saved, and the exertions of the firemen were confined to the preservation of the surround ing buildings, upon which they played with all the water they could obtain. At this crisis the greatest apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the crown jewels deposit e d i n th e regalia office, which closely adjoins the eastern extremity of the Grand Armoury, and the yeomen of the guard, under the direction of their captain, were deputed to undertake he re - moval. This service was safely performed without ac cident, and the whole of the valuables, including the - beautiful model of the White Tower, were consigned to the care of the governor and placed in the vaults beneath his residence. The heat from the burning pile had now become so excessive that the firemen could no longer act in the centre square, and it was quite impossible to attempt to save any portion of the arms, fic,c., contained in the grand storehouse. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, the alarm soon spread through the metropolis, and Tower-hill and its immediate neighbourhood were densely thronged. At this period of the conflagration the atmosphere was illuminated in an extraordinary degree, and the fire mignt have been seen at many miles distance, while the re flection on the surrounding houses and on the shipping in the river, produced a most striking effect. About one o'clock the appearance of the burning mass was surpassingly grand. The flames having at that time extended to nearly the whole length of the armoury, shortly after the roof, being com pletely burned through, fell in with a tremendous crash, the flames rising with a lurid glare far above the towers of the ' citadel. A company of fusilier guards had been some time employed in forcing a breach between the line of houses adjoining the western end of the armoury with the hope of staying the further progress of the flames, but the roof of the latter building having now given way they were forced to desist. At thi s ti me i t was 'feared that the whole of the southern side weuld fall a prey to the flames, but by the judieious exertions of the brigade establishment they were prevented from extending across the narrow avenue be lween the outer wall and the Round Tower, above alluded to, and hopes were entertained that no other portion of the building would be sacrificed. This expectation happily proved correct. The fire was not subdued, however, until near five o'clock, and the mass of ruins was burning fiercely throughout the whole of yesterday. No further mischief was, however, apprehended, and the walls being in an ex ceedingly bad state, little was done by the firemen. It was hoped that this calamity had been unattended with loss of life, but we regret to record the death of a fireman named Richard Wivell, of the brigade establishment, a line young man, aged 24, who was killed by the fall of a mass of stone from the top of a wall, under which he was holding the branch. He was struck on the side of the head with so much force that his helmet was driven in, and his skull dreadfully fractured. lie was conveyed to the guard-room, and attended by two of the garrison surgeons, but all attempts to bleed hi m were unava ili ng , a nd he expired in a few mi nutes. George Wright, of the county establishment, was also very severely injured, but hopes are entertained of his recovery. The indisputable fact of the scarcity of water is most lamentable, as it appears that the whole of the inner squate is one subterranean tank for the express purpose of containing water against a contingency of this nature ; but, strange as it may appear, on the plugs being taken up the tanks were found dry, and all hope of obtaining the desired supply was at an end. It is stated that the d uty of attend ing to these we lls belongs to the engineer of the Tower, and there can be no doubt that the circum s t ance of the neglect will be rigidly inquired into. Many rumours are in eircu- EI) Ztherpool 'taiiltarb. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, 1841 Well and nobly have the Conservatives of Liverpool done their duty in the struggle which has just concluded ; and from our heart of hearts we thank them ! Throughout the length and breadth of the land the splendid achievement of yester day has by this time spoken " trumpet-tongued," proclaim ing the determination of a united people to adhere to the " old ways" of the constitution—to stand fast upon the rock of their established Protestant religion —to be steadfast in their loyalty, and to rally to the support of the throne and the altar against every attempt at innovation or injury ! For this we thank our Conservative fellow -townsmen, one and all— high arid low—the merchant and the honest operative as well ; and their country will thank them too.—their children and their children's children ! They have done their duty. The result of yesterday's struggle, we repeat it, is not to be viewed, merely in relation to the consequences of a local nature which will spring from it. The struggle itself was a great battle for a principle—the battle of Conservatism against the evil spirit of modern liberalism. By its result the people of Liverpool have affirmed again, and even more loudly than ever, their determination to be governed upon Conservative principles, to have the administration of their local affairs, as well as the government of the country, con ducted upon the principles of " our glorious constitution in Church and State." The country will receive the victory, and has a right to receive it too, as a confirmation, by the people of Liverpool, of that effort of the national will which placed Sir Robert Peel at the helm of state. The inducing causes of that victory—the influences by the exertion of which it has been achieved—have been the same ; and the same too, is the language in which it speaks—detestation of the princi ples of modern " liberalism," of its truckling to popery, its fondling with infidelity, its servility to the strong, and its hard-hearted and insolent contempt of the weak. In this light we are satisfied that the victory of yesterday ought to be viewed; for what an anomaly would it have pre sented to the world if this loyal community, returning two Conservative members to the House of Commons, had con tinued to declare their confidence in a local government such as that which we have now happily got rid of ! How loudly the anti-national faction and its organs would have proclaim ed any other result as a declaration of the people of Liver pool in favour of themselves and their nostrums ! We have committed no such folly however. We have not been thus contradictory in our conduct. We have now a local govern ment allied, in feeling, with the government of the country; and we have members of parliament for our borough, form ing a connecting chain of communication between both. Our fellow-townsmen will not, we are confident, whilst congratulating themselves upon their victory, neglect to pay a just tribute of regard and thankfulness to the instruments, by the aid of which it has been accomplished. To the un tiring exertions and unceasing warnings of those champions of our Protestant faith,—the clergy of Liverpool—how much of the spirit iu which this good fight has been fought is to be attributed ! How much to our district Protestant societies ! How much—we say it without hesitation—to the Conservative press, amongst whose exertions we claim consideration for our own, as having been at least hearty and sincere, if they have not been always so effective as we could have wished. But we will not dwell upon this portion of our subject ; our object, indeed, is accomplished when we have repeated our deepest thankfulness to our Con servative fellow-townsmen, for a victory, which has once more placed our good old town in that proud position amongst the cities of the empire, which she has ever previously held, and which we trust she will ever continue to maintain. Alas for the philosophers ! The pride of the race is cut down ; its choice specimens rejected ; and its Magnus Apollo, the mighty William himself, obscured for ever. Alas for the philosophers, educational and anti-corn-law, free-trading and warehouse-building ; but—more than all beside—alas for William Rath bone! " Last morn we saw him by the accustomed spot, Beneath the Green Bank's shade ; * * The evening came, and then we saw him not." He had evaporated—gone off in a cloud of drab coloured flame, doubtless to enlighten the darkness of some unknown land, where there is neither a " Pitt street," a " North Toxteth," or " Great George's " (which from henceforth shall be great indeed)—to harrow up his meek soul with their appalling memo ries; no churches to vex his Socinian spirit with their obtruding steeples; no Bible -teaching- schools, and no Bible-teaching parsons, to rack him into perpetually recurring agonies. 'William is gone ; and others be sides William, although none so great as he ! Let us bestow a passing glance upon them, reader, before they are consigned to oblivion for ever ! And first we have lost Mr. Michael Ashcroft, by whose return to the Council what a. world of enlighten ment in the mysteries of cropping and sowing, gra zing and milking, was to have been shoWered upon us ! He has gone back to his farm-yard —a second Cincinnatus. Next in the list come a host of lesser names—the tomtits of the faction—Mr. Geo. Quayle, Mr. Christopher Rawdon, Mr. John Holmes, and Mr. J. Woollright. After these, however, comes a bird of loftier plumage. Mr. Hugh Hornby, once Mayor of the Reformed Council, and perhaps the " noblest Roman of them all," has yielded before the might of a nobler still, in the person of James Aspinall, Esq. The eminent speaker, and erudite philosopher, Mr. Charles Holland, is not doomed by fate to exer cise his talents or to. display his eloquence within the walls of the Council-chamber. The surgical philoso pher, Air. John Cooper, is returned to his gallipots ; the electors of Abercromby Ward - having pronounced unmistakeably their determination— " Throw physic to the dogs ! 'We'll none of it ! " Of the remainder, why need we particularise ? They never have set the Mersey, or any other river, on fire as yet; and they never will. From henceforth—thanks to the noble exertions of the constituencies !—the Corporation of Liverpool is a Conservative body—a body composed of Englishmen, not only in name but in heart as well --supporters of their Church and Queen—the true and tried friends of the monarch and of the people ! We may have fewer shining lights, perhaps, in that body --less glit ter and tinsel, and infinitely fewer pretensions and professions ; but we shall have, what is far more valu able in a municipal body, a greater portion of sound honesty of purpose, and disposition to advance the real and intelligible interests of the community. We shall have fewer theorists—fewer builders of castles in the air, or upon the dock- quays —fewer projectors of whimsies and spinning -tops; but more men of busi ness and more measures of sterling usefulness, as the result. The Corporation of Liverpool will once more take its station, in the estimation of the people of England, as the legitimate representative of the mer- labor, as to the ;opposed origin of the fire known at present on which ea alidenae can be heated flues are stated to have caused the disaster, b 7 while others attribute it to the act a an incendiary, inquiry will be, no doubt, set on foot by the government bu nothlne some ; A.tt THEATRE-ROYAL.

We have made arrangements Ar receiving by the early post this morning, the returns of the elections at Pres ton, Lancaster, Leeds, and other places, which will be published in a Second Edition. ,fie tve;:ltir, and, above all, of th, t community and b no longer a paltry debating soc:ety—a collection of small hangers on for the gifts of a Whig Ministry, prostituting alike the interests, the respectability, and the character of the town and of themselves, to advance the ends of a faction, hostile to the real welfare, and despised in the hearts, of the aggregate people of Great Britain. We know not in what " slough of despond" the fallen Radicals will from henceforth lie, and we are not solicitous to tr a ce them in their fall. We know not where the light has fled to, which has been extin guished ; but we know that, although these stars have fallen from their circle, the world is not therefore left to darkness ! For anything we know, one m ay be still groping his way to " Green Bank," or some other suburban retreat; others may have assumed the cowl, or gone on a pilgrimage to Mecca or Jerusalem ; but, notwithstanding their declension—though we know not their fate or their whereabouts—the world wags " Merry as a marriage bell.' A smile is on every face we meet : bright eyes are glancing upon us on every side : congratulation is on every tongue : and we only hear an occasional sigh as some kind-hearted mortal exclaims, amidst the general " ALAS FOR THE PHILOSOPHERS !" Our Monday's contemporary takes occasion to chuckle over the circumstance of Mr. Harvey's having, notwith-. standing the objection against his eligibility, taken his seat in the council as alderman for Castle-street Ward. W never doubted that Mr. Harvey would do so. The object for which that gentleman was elected would not have been effected unless he had done so ; and we never anticipated that any qualms on the score of decency would deter him in such a case from exercising the full stretch of his disputed authority. With respect, however, to the continuance of this gentle man in his usurped seat, we arc not so sanguine as our con temporary. An application will be made to-morrow for a writ of " Quo Warranto," to try the question, which is at least a doubtful one ; and we should not be surprised, al though our contemporary might be, to see the claim of Mr. Harvey abandoned at once on the issuing of the writ. We are informed that some of the gentlemen of the nap were overheard, yesterday, felicitating themselves upon the " liberal " victory in Exchange Ward, as a proof that their much-vaunted " liberal " policy in commercial affairs was becoming in high odour amongst the merchants of Liverpool. We dare say that such an impression will be sought eagerly to be created; and certainly the very name of the ward it self—" Exchange Ward,"—in which the whips arc enabled to make their solitary boast of victory, would in the first instance favour the supposition. The public, however, must be made aware of the description of merchants by whose suffrages, and superior enlightmeat on matters of commercial policy, Exchange Ward has been won by a whig candidate. We give the names and addresses of a few of these as they stand in the register; and would venture very strongly to question,—not whether they would be ornamental at a levee,—not whether Mr. Henry Holmes would plume himself upon being permitted to "march through Coventry" with them ; but whether, even in the case of such a consummation, the gentlemen of the flags would be found, in great numbers, anxious to be, as spectators, placed in very close contact with the ruffling of their clothes in the wind : 3231, Meeken, John, Hatton .garden ; 3232, irl`Cann, John, Henry Edward -street; 3233, M'Carthy, Martin, Henry Edward-street; 3234, Maguire, Terence, Henry Ed ward-street; 3236, Mulhane, James, Henry Edward-street; 3237, M'Avoy, Peter, Henry Edward-street; 3238, M`Der mot, Michael, Henry Edward-street; 3239, M`Donaugh, John, Hodson -street; 3240, Al` Manus, Charles, Hodson-st• ; 3241, M`Nally, Owen, Hodson-street; 3242, Murphy, Jno. Hodson-street: 3244, M'Cormick, Martin, Lace-street; 3245, M'Connell, Michael, Lace-street; 3246, M'Garrigal, Owen, Lace -street; 3247, M'Lesn, Patrick, Lace-street; 3248, Maloney, John, Lace-street ; 3249, Mulloy, Patrick, Lace-street. And these be your merchants, gentlemen ! Upon what Exchange do they " most congregate ?" The Stock Ex change, we presume, or the Pig-market. These be your admirers of " liberal commercial policy"—the absence of restrictions upon commerce, and restrictions of every other description ! The M`Carins and 111`Carthys, the M'Avoys and the Murphy's, are from henceforth to be rated amongst the mercantile aristocracy of Liverpool. " Give me an ounce of civet, good apothecary !" It is made a subject of accusation against Earl de Grey that he used no exertion, and employed none of that influence which he might have commanded, for the purpose of making the new corporation of Dublin a little less Radical than it turns out to be ; but it strikes us that there is little weight in the charge. In the first place, it was quite evident, from the state of the burgess-roll, that not all the influence which the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is master of could have made any material difference in the new " reformed" council ; and, secondly, it would not have been good policy in his excellency to have interfered in the election for the sake of such very limited results as he might, by so doing, have been able to procure. The orders given at the Castle, it is understood, were, that the ser vants of the government should take no part in the contest; and these orders, we may presume, were strictly obeyed ; for even in the Castle Ward the coun cillors returned are all Radicals, and of the entire council elected more than two-thirds are Roman Ca tholics, Radicals, and Repealers ! It is rather an odd coincidence that a municipal government of such a thoroughly Radical character should be coeval, in the commencement of its regime, with that of a Conser vative administration, and that Lord Eliot, who, for a Conservative, was rather forward in speeding on the Municipal Reform Bill for Ireland while it was passing through parliament, should be the Irish secretary, and resident in Dublin, at the initiation of its operation. Such a bill for Ireland we have always regarded as a monstrous production, and, for anything we can yet see of its working, it is only the whole absurdity realised. Regrets, however, are now unavailing; the deed is done ; and whatever annoyance or obstruction it may be to his government, Lord de Grey must expect to find, and prepared to deal with, a Repeal corporation, not only in Dublin, but in almost every town in Ire land that shall be blessed with a reformed municipa lity. Of the new corporation of Dublin, 42 are Ro man Catholics and only 18 Protestants ; the total of the pure O'Connellites is 46 ; so indulgent are the fates to the late master of her Majesty's late ministry ! He has lost a cabinet, but he has gained a corporation ; he no longer stands at the king's gate, first beggarman, with well. filled wallet, taking toll of all that pass in or out ; but he becomes first magistrate of the capital of the " first flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea," and the chief ahnoner of its bounties; he may expect no more advancement by the royal prerogative, but he becomes a lord through the suffrages of the peo ple, and next session of parliament promises to present a Repeal petition at the bar of both houses of parlia ment in his full costume of Lord Mayor of her Ma jesty's good city of Dublin. This is no creation of the imagination; it is matter of ordinary and perfectly sober calculation. Mr. Daniel O'Connell, the renowned Repealer, alias disloyal separator of the kingdom, was yesterday chosen , Lord Mayor of Dublin, and in that capacity will, doubtless, invest the cause of " Irish Independence" with whatever force and dignity he can bestow upon it. He has long been promising his dupes a restora tion of the Irish parliament, and its re-establishment in College-green, and now he may fairly say that he is paying down a good instalment of the debt. The new municipal council will be a good type of the long-pro mised parliament—the shadow of the coming event. The- Repealers will become pOssessed of a handsome house to meet in—the city mansion -house, and other appurtenances in the capital both ornamental and use ful; and agitation will henceforth assume not only a legalised but a far more dignified exterior than it has heretofore enjoyed. The new corporation, we are as sured, will become possessed of such control over the parliamentary registration, as hereafter to render the city of Dublin a mere borough in their hands. Well, let the world say what it will, is not Daniel O'Connell a " clever vagabond "to the last ? There is something ludicrous in the fact, that while the different members of the late ministry scatter and hide themselves, like rats, in holes and corners, the Mephistophiles of the set turns up arrayed in greater honour than he ever possessed before, and stands revealed—a Lord Mayor in all his robes ! That such a circumstance can pro duce any serious effect on the destinies of Ireland, we are not at all disposed to admit, more especially while the government of the country is in Conservative hands ; but we advert to it as a proof, and we think it is a striking one, of the strange and paradoxical sort of result which arises from the liberal system, and liberal legislation. However, liberalism, we may suppose, has now run to the extent of its tether, and we have, for tunately, a Peel and Wellington ministry to give due effect to the laws. The government of Earl de Grey in Ireland has commenced most auspiciously, and is, indeed, everything that one could wish. We should have'no objection to the movement which would give to the Romanist and Papal party the mere trappings and outside show of power, and transfer the substance and reality to the proper authorities. Should Earl de Grey be so fortunate as to effect a solid exchange of this kind, we would gladly run with others to see such a harmless raree show as Dan O'Connell in his Lord Mayor's coach, with Dr. M`Hale or the most reverend Dr. Murray as his chaplain, 'Porn Steele and " my dear Kay" for his sheriff's, and any other Tom, Rey nolds or grimalkin, for his fool. 'Twould be a sight worth seeing, and almost as innocent and merry as the burning of Guy Fawkes on the fifth of November' But Lord de Grey, we anticipat e , w ill b e a bl e to effect this desirable c onsummation. Let it be borne in mind that since the act of Rotnan Catholic emancipation was passed, or nearly so, the Whigs have had the adminis tration in their hands, and we have not seen how th at measure would work under a Conservative government, and that the exper i ment is only now about to be ma de ' The result will be an interesting one.
