At ASTLEY'S Amphitheatre, the Brothers GRIST twist and turn, and stand on their heads upon and do a vast number of incredible tricks, setting nothing the laws of Cremorne and mechan e of fellows, more er defiance e eels than men, perform exploits on the double trapeze that will not bear narration. Mountebanks and tumblers, and conjurors, and jugglers of divers degrees of tistinction, abound in all quarters. But of all the operators in jumping head over heels and back again, in what the profession call " the twinkling of abed• post," unquestionably the most success . ful during this season has been thatvenerable senator, and very fast old gentleman, the member for Montrose, famous in sporting records under the name of the " Middlesex Goose." Greased lightning is, 1 believe, pretty rapid in its motions, but it is not fit to hold a candle to JOE HUME when he exhibits one of his grand tours de force conjuror who " could make black white" at any given mo ment, be has long been notorious ; but this week be has achieved a more exalted renown, by a feat that baffles all attempt at definition—by jumping out of his own skin and back again—by suddenly turning his back upon him self, and as suddenly springing into his original posi tion. A few days ago, we were all astonished, and, I may add, edified, by the spectacle of the ancient leveller and arch-demagogue transmogrified unexpectedly into a decent conservative, repeating his old " peccadil loes," recanting his past errors, forswearing his bad assn. ciates, and giving promise of a life of amendment and atonement. But hardly had we time to express gratifica tion at the blessed change which had come over the spirit of his dream, when, heigh presto ! back jumped the old sinner into his wicked ways, and the incorrigible JOE was himself again. Truly the NESTOR of Reform is the prince of mountebanks, and his gyrations round that piece of jugglery the ballot-box, constitute the most consummate exhibition of humbug, impudence, and play upon public credulity ever attempted. The genius who can at once deplore his whole life as one continued failure, and exult in it as an uninterrupted success ; who can revile his com panions as knaves unworthy of credit, and give them his unabated confidence and co-operation ; who can believe in the absolute necessity of a principle, and quietly resign that principle on "gentle persuasion" to the first solicitor, is an extraordinary one. JOE HUME has proved himself to be such a genius —a veritable political chameleon—an animal whose shape, and colour, and consistency no man can be sure of for a single instance. Well may the accom plished letter-writer declare, as he has done,—" I disclaim the interpretation of anything I may have said or written." Of course ; and this declaration literally translated may be shortly written, " HUME. bug, thy name is HuME !" For want of metal more attractive, the caterers for the public entertainment have been forced to reproduce the masque of " Convocation Revived, or Church and State in Collision," which was last week voted by common consent a dull invention—a flat, stale and unprofitable conceit. It has however been brought out, adapted, amended, curtailed, altered, and re-cooked in every con- ceivable way by the cleverest playwrights of the metropolis, go down with the several audiences to try and make it s been presented But, alas despite of all the ingent and cunning expended on it, it has proved peculation, without adding to the reputa- unfortt tion or th, Dfit of its original authors or of its numerous adapters.

The Protectionists feel thoroughly convinced that there is not the slightest necessity for agitation, and therefore they don't agitate. Free Trade is working out its destiny fast enough, and that destiny, paradoxical as it may seem, is a restoration of the principle of protection for native industry. Lan cashire and the manufacturing districts in general, and Manchester in particular, are beginning to feel the suici dal blows, and to cry out lustily that they are hurt. Di minished population and demands for increased wages, land thrown out of grain cultivation, a general advance in the price of food, a prospective famine in Australia, which will further enhance the cost of provisions of all sorts — these are facts that will make the great commercial and manufacturing interests quake ; these are the Free Trade infallibly bring about reaction, and a restoration of sound commercial principles. No, Pro tectionists don't insist upon the instant reversal of the existing system—their true policy is to let it work on a little longer, and it will bring about its own cure. The blue ribbon bestowed upon the gallant MARQUIS Of LONDONDERRY has riled the Rads, almost as much as did the Chancellorship of Oxford conferred on the Prime Minister. It is amusing to behold how those flaming orators, who affect to hold in utter contempt all such baubles as ribbons, stars, and garters, work themselves into cony& results that will sions of rage and envy whenever they or their friends are not the recipients. Surely they did not expect a Conservative Premier would decorate TOMMY DUN COMBE, BILLY WILLIAMS, or any of the revolutionary rabblement, or bestow the highest badge of distinction in his gift upon a political opponent. But the fellows must rail at something, and it is all one to them whether the object of the abuse be a PRINCE ALBERT, a PRINCE GEORGE Of CAMBRIDGE, a WINCHESTER, a DALHOUSIE, a LONDONDERRY, or an EMERSON TENNENT,—enough that they can find a peg on which to hang a tissue of declamatory billingsgate upon Lord DERBY and his Go- vernment. Lord LONDONDERRY has done the State good service, and is well deserving of a blue ribbon. He is a man of whom it has been said that he never did a foolish he may have sai I and written some things raceful to decorate the prevot chevalier at a moment when his chivalrous interposition with Louis NAPousoN for the release of ABD-EL-KADER from captivity was crowned with success. A brave soldier, a princely noble, an honourable gentleman, and a thorough-hearted Englishman, Lord LONDONDERRY has been well selected for the favour of his Sovereign. Full of years and honours, we may fairly say of him—" He won them well—and may he wear them long." tom of the middle ag the duello, s, despite the rigid laws in force The other day there was one, haply a blood- less one, ending in smoke and nought beside, between a brace of hot-headed Englishmen ; but this week we have been horrified with an out and out French slaughtering match, fatal in its issue, and appointed with all the pre meditated circumstances of death. Never did champions go to the field more completely armed for taking away each other's lives than did the unfortunate Captain COURNET and his antagonist. They carried pistols, rapiers, and knives or daggers, though the first, it appears, sufficed to do the intended business. The mystery that surrounds this quarrel is remarkable; but it is more than suspected that it had something to do with a contemplated attempt to overthrow or assassinate Louis NAPOLEON.

Some of the large speculators are again turning their attention to this market ; and, as has been frequently the case at this time of the year, there are evident symptoms of an approaching ad vance. A rise to some extent has already taken place. French and other foreign shares participate in the general movement. The stocks most in demand, at present, are North British and Sheffield shares ; the former will benefit by the union of the three York Companies, and the latter by that of the London and North-Western and Midland. We close this evening at the best of the wcek ; during the day business has been done at the following prices:-Ambergates, d; late Chester and Birken head, 22; ditto £22, 2 11-16 d; Caledonians, 26y Chester and Holyhead, 221; Eastern Counties, 121 1-16 5-16 5-16; East Lancashire, 191 19; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 85i- 6 7 2 - r a ; ditto fifths, 3, 3 ,- 5-16 d ; ditto £l6, ; West Riding Union, 21d; Leeds Northern, 161; Liverpool and Southport, 191 5-16; London stock, 110; ditto fifths, 3p ; Sheffield stock, 33c; Midland stock, 77/ 1 ; North British, 91 1 11-16 q-; St. Helen's pref. guar, 170; Dover stock, 231. i; York and North Midland, 26A-; Great Southern and Western, 49 ; Borough Bank, 101- ; Pacific Steam Company, 75A. The improvement in demand for every descrip tion of produce, which we have had the pleasure of recording for many weeks past, continues ; and a gene; al advance has taken place in our Colonial markets. An extensive business was done in SUGAR up to the publication of Friday's circular ; and an advance secured of 6d. per cwt. on Colonial sorts over the previous week's prices. REFINED SUGAR was also in demand at improving rates. Native and plantation Ceylon COFFEE were eagerly sought after; and for the latter an advance of Is. to 2s. was realized. RICE was sold at 12s. 6d., or a little higher than in the previous week. In other articles, except TEA, the alteration was slight, although a lively feeling pervaded the market. With respect to the latter article-TEA-a large business was done at extreme rates ; and there is little common Congou to be had at, or under, 91d. per lb. A general impression is gaining ground that the Government contemplate making a reduc tion in the present enormous duty on the article ; and there has been more doing in consequence, the trade, or wholesale dealers having however freely met the demand of speculators and exporters. Whether this is a judicious step on their part re mains to be proved ; but they must bear in mind, that the position of the article this year is very dif ferent from what it has been on urevious occasions. Since the publication of the circular SUGAR has continued in good request ; and To -DAY, including Saturday's sales, the transactions consist of 100 hhds. Barbadoes at 345. to 378. 6d., 100 hhds. Antigua at 325. 9d., to 365. 6d., 1750 bags Dates, chiefly at 345. 6d. to 38s. 6d., 900 bags Benares at 365. to 395. 6d. and 2000 bags low brown Pernams at 16s. per cwt.

Of Rurs, only a small parcel of Demerara has been taken, at previous prices. There is nothing to notice in COFFEE, but 400 bags red Bahia Cocoa have brought 235. 6d. per cwt. The attention of the TEA trade has been confined to the new season's Congou, ex " Chry solite," nearly the whole of which (about 2000 packages) have found eager buyers, at prices rang ing from is. iold. to is. 11, 1 ,,d. per lb.

There is an unusually easy TEA MARKET. Stocks decidedly light, with very moderate sup plies on the way, and high prices ruling in China in consequence of the small supply brought down to the shipping ports. Should a chance in this be duly contemplated, they would indeed find themselves in the wrong box. Attention has been called to the frauds practised in the tea trade, by the publication of a circular containing an abridgment of a long article on the subject, which appeared in The Times. The writer, in reviewing Mr. Fortune's book on the tea coun tries of China, calls attention to the fraudulent practices of the Chinese, in colouring their teas with poisonous matter in order to suit the English market. The only remedy for such a dangerous nuisance is to encourage the cultivation of the tea plant in our own possessions, such as the Himalaya, which is well suited to its growth. COTTON.--In the early part of the week the more favourable news received of the state of the crop in the United States, accompanied by a de in prices, gave a check to the upward ten of our Cotton Market. The stringency in nerican Money Market, caused by the large amount of specie locked up in the sub-treasury department, accounted in part for this circum stance ; and it was concluded that the banks would be speedi/y OM by an 11§ul Pexicdical arriYez dency 4 the Air THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1852. be solemnised in the church of St. Martin's-in-the- Field, amidst the rejoicings of both distinguished fami lies, and their private and political connexions.

Discarding all party considerations on such an occasion as this, we may all wish the young couple chorus of the epithalarnium y, and join in the "Happy, happy, happy pair ! None hut the brave deserve the fair." The winter theatrical campaign has begun auspiciously. The Haymarket doors are open. The Princess's, ruled by KEAN, is nightly crowded ; and the ever young and fascinating Madame VESTRIS has again returned to the scene at the Lyceum. The preparations for the Christmas pantomimes are already on foot, though the Lord Chamberlain has put a gag in the mouths of the poets to keep their tongues from wagging too fast on a certain dangerous topic. Free licence is given to them to joke upon any person or thing, from the crown to the kennel, in this country ; but they must not pass a jest upon the Gallic cock, or the yet more awful Gallic eagle. With that exception, pantomimists and others may amuse the merry boys and girls at Christmas, according to old ancestral habitude. Punch is furious at the idea of interdicting the Emperor of the French from the realms of fun, but the fiat of the Lord Chamberlain is absolute, and has gone forth, and so the only thing we can do thereanent on the stage for the future is to sing, as no doubt we shall— " Oh, no, we never mention him, His name is never beard." COMIERCLIL AND MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. THE payment of the October Dividends has only very slightly decreased the supply of Gold in the Bank, the principal increase in the circulation having consisted of notes. Hence the Money-market re mains buoyant, with every probability of further abundance of accommodation to the commercial classes. Without further great increase in our Imports, as compared with Exports, or an inordinate investment by Capitalists in Foreign Shares, Loans, &c., the influx of gold, which may now be expected to be very great for some months to come, will most probably insure to the country, for some time, the advantages of a full currency. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 16th of October gives the following results when compared with the previous week : Public deposits £ 4,898,568; Decrease £4,177.870 Other deposits .. 13,107,431 ; Increase 1,614,381 , s t 3,096,196; Decrease 463,461 On the other side of the account — £13,950,375 ; Decrease £238,807 11,187,061 ; Decrease 1,296,508 11,392,445 ; Decrease 1,263,200 Government securities Other securities Notes unemployed The amount of notes in circulation is £23,659,860, being an increase of £1,407,675 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £21,670,458, show ing a decrease of £47,560, when compared with the preceding return.

Moreover, consumption was known to be active, and spinners desirous of getting into stock. Up to the publication of the circular the sales had reached 94,870, of which Speculators took 40,720, and Exporters 3090 hales, at full prices. On Friday 12,000 were sold, in cluding 4000 on speculation and for export. On Saturday 15,000 bales were sold, of which 3000 were for speculation and export. The arrival of the Canada yesterday, bringing accounts of a firmer market in the United States, has given increased confidence to the trade ; and the sales have been TO-DAY 12,000 hales, including 4000 on specu lation, at very full rates. Irrespective of the re ports of damage done to the American crop, and its ordinary precarious state at this season, a feel ing appears to prevail that the consumption by the trade is sufficiently large to require the largest quantity which America is likely to produce. CORN MARKET.—The demand is fair; and for fine samples of Wheat and Flour prices are well maintained ; millers and de•llers, however, buying cautiously. On Friday and Saturday the arrivals were fair, including 7021 quarters Wheat, 1285 ditto, and 2670 sacks, and 5873 barrels Flour. from the United States and Europe.

As soon as kindness, combined with firm ness, has impressed them with the conviction that all the arrangements are directed to their benefit, the respect, attention, and efforts to please become peculiarly evident, and will compare favourably with schools of a much higher order. They conclude by saying— " The committee are very happy to say, that owing to the unwearied exertions of the treasurer, the funds of the union are in a better condition than by last report ; and they would earnestly impress on all Christian men the urgent necessity of liberality in the support of a society whose efforts in extending ragged schools are mainly restrained by the comparatively limited amount of funds at their disposal. Though thirty ragged schools may be said to be in active operation amongst us, it must be remembered, that to afford school accommodation for the 15,000 uncared for, untaught, ragged children, which, by a careful computation, are kwon n to be in Liverpool, we would require at least a five-fold addition ; and as there are many destitute localities yet unprovided for, it would be most gratifying to your committee to find themselves in a position, by the liberality of their fellow townsmen, to extend a helping hand to those whose hearts may be stirred up to make additional efforts for the rescue of the multitudes of children who are perishing for lack of knowledge." Mr. RITCHIE, the treasurer, addressed the meeting, and gave an account of the funds of the union. The amount at the disposal of the committee was almost double that received up to the period of the last anniversary. £l5O had been expended during the year, and there was about £ll in the bank. (Cheers.) The Rev. Dr. HUME moved the first resolution, that the report be approved and adopted. The Rev. Doctor delivered an eloquent and pathetic appeal in favour of the institution, which, as well as the other eloquent addresses, we are compelled to omit from want of pace. The Rev. Mr. Howson, principal of the Collegiate in stitution, seconded the motion, which was passed unani mously. The Rev. Mr. MATTHIAS proposed the second resolu tion, which was seconded by3lr. RATCLIFFE, and adopted. A collection was then made, during which a hymn was sung. The Rev. J. B. LowE proposed the third resolution, urging strongly the necessity of support to the Ragged School Union. The motion was seconded by Mr. HEATH, and carried ; and, after thanks had been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. THE PROHIBITORY ORDER OF THE POOR LAW BOARD. IMPORTANT MEETING AT MANCHESTER, YESTERDAY. A meeting of deputations from boards of guardians and ratepayers was held yesterday (Monday) at the Albion Hotel, Manchester, for the purpose of arriving at a more correct understanding of the general views and sentiments of the several boards of guardians in the county of Lan caster, the West Riding of Yorkshire, and those parts of Cheshire to which the late prohibitory order of the Poor Law Board was addressed, and to afford an opportunity for a clear expression of opinion thereon. The attendance of deputations was very numerous, and the members of Parliament present were, Mr. W. Brown, M.P. for South Lancashire; Mr. J. M. Cobbett, M.P. for Oldham; Mr. James Heywood, M.P. for North Lancashire; Mr. Jos. Brotherton, M.P. for Salford : Mr. R. T. Parker, M.P. for Preston ; and Mr. W. Patten, M.P. Mr. R. T. Parker, M.P., was called to the chair, and in opening the proceedings said, he had heard since liefcame into the room that it was the intention of certain parties to introduce the subject of the county expenditure, but he objected to take the chair if such a course were to be persisted in. (Applause.) He, however, took the chair on the understanding that the county rate subject should not be entertained by the meeting. Mr. SHACKLETON moved the first resolution, which was as follows That this meeting, composed of aeputations from boards of guardians and ratepayers in the county of Lancaster, the West Riding of Yorkshire, and parts of Cheshire, and having, it is believed, the sympathy of the great majority of the hoards of guardians to; which the new order of the poor law board, dated August 25, 1852, has been addressed, hereby accord its condemnation of the sa , d order on the following grounds :—First, because the continuous decline for some time past, and the present satisfactory payment of poor rates, rendered unnecessary any resort to stringency or any experimental innovations in the administration of relief ; secondly, because the pro visions of the new order generally can only be carried out by disregarding alike the results of experience, the dic tates of humanity, and the interests of society ; and thirdly, because the effect of the order is to destroy all independence, and interdict all discretion on the part of boards of guardians, and consequently to cover with insult the representative process by which such boards are con stituted; that an examination of the order in detail only confirms the estimate of its general character and tendency, in proof of which this meeting wontd rpGr to Art s,solootod merely for the sake of illustration. This article enacts that no relief shall be given to any able-bodied male per son while he is employed for wages or other hire or remu ration by any person. Such a restriction must (in manu. fecturing districts especially) operate with great cruelty upon the industrious poor, and either greatly increase the immediate burdens of the ratepayers, or largely contribute to the increase of mendicacy and crime. In this district it is no exaggeration to say that one-half of the cases requiring relief are those of persons in receipt of inade quate earnings, from causes over which they have no con trol. By the vicissitudes of trade an operative may be placed upon shorttime by the breaking down of machinery, by the occurrence of fire, and numerous other con tingencies, the income of his family may be so curtailed as to render it temporarily insufficient for their maintenance ; I et, in all such cases, if the head of the family apply for relief, all independent labour (the proceeds of which are, pro tanto, a saving of therates,) must be relinquished, and where a trifling advance would have sufficed to sustain the family in industrial occupa tion ; whereas an enormous charge is incurred by main taining them wholly as paupers, to their own moral and social degradation, and the serious burthen of the rate payers. In the event, however, of the partially-employed poor generally declining to accept relief in such form and upon such terms, a frightful increase of mendicancy and crime may be expected. The restriction in question, therefore, can only result either in the whole sale manufacture of pauperism, or in grievously injuring society by its attempted repression; and that, extendin g its observations from Article 5, this meeting would reprobate also such restrictions as appear in Articles 1 and 2, which, without providing against im posture, will needlessly augment the work of Poor-law officers, and harass a large proportion of the recipients of relief—as also the provisions of Article 6, requiring Guar dians to find full employment of a special kind for all able-bodied out-door paupers,—a requirement not only of very questionable utility, but in direct opposition to the past policy and orders of the Poor-law Board itself, and of its predecessor, the Poor-law Commission. That Articles 3 and 4, if objectionable on no other ground, are incapable of being satisfactorily administersd by reason of their com plicated character, the collision they enjoin with past usages and prescriptions, and the numerous exceptions to which they are liable. That, in short, the entire Order is uncalled-for, perplexing, and mischievous ; that it can only be carried out through the sacrifice of all discretion and humanity by Boards of Guardians and the surrender of all right of control or opinion by the ratepayers : and that therefore this meeting requires its total and imme diate revocation." He said the prohibitory order issued by the Poor-law Board, addressed to 110 Unions in this district, not only affected the welfare, comfort, and happiness of the poor, but it also deprived the guardians of that discretionary power which was necessary, for giving that relief which the nature and circumstances of each individual case re quired. (Hear, hear.) He was not aware that the Poor law Board possessed any power to carry this order into effect. His opinion was, that the order was nothing more or less than a foul conspiracy against the people of this country ; it was a foul but miserable attempt to es tablish a system of centralisation, in order to deprive the people of this great nation of its undoubted right manage its own local affairs, and expend their own money to the best advantage. (Applause.) Mr. DICKIN, Vice-Chairman of the Oldham board of guardians, seconded the resolution. He said that the board of guardians to which he belonged had found that they could not consistently with the rights of the rate payers, and the duty they owed to the recipients of relief, carry out this prohibitory order, more especially in reference to article First.—After some remarks from Mr. PARKER of the Barnsley Union, Mr. JOSEPH LIVESEY, one of the deputation from Preston, in supporting the resolution, said that this order was inconsistent with previous orders, and clogged with too many difficulties, that it was clear they felt the difficulty before the order was issued ; hence Article 4, which contained five lines, was followed by most elaborate exceptions, containing twenty two lines.—The Rev. J. L. FROST, from Bradford, said that the qestion had been asked once or twice by previous speakers what the object of this order was. He would throw out a hint as to the object and ultimate result of this order—there were stipendiary guar dians in every union. (Hear, hear.)—Mr. HAWKRIDGE, of Nottingham, said, with respect to Article 1, he would ask any gentleman present if he would be the willing in strument to destroy, to a great extent, the kindly feeling which often, to a very praiseworthy degree, animated the hearts of the lower orders of this country. Article 5 was most preposterous, and had been drawn up by parties better acquainted with drawing-room carpet logic than with anything practicable for the working classes of this country. (Laughter.)—Mr. BAKER said he thought that the case of a break-down in a factory was provided for by the first exception to the order ; and the principal thing they had to fight against was the taking away the discre tionary power from the guardians.—Mr. WATTS, from Chorley, said the board of guardians to which he belonged had adopted every course which it was thought advisable to meet the rules sent down by the commissioners. They had received an answer, and it was well known that they would not reverse therule which had been distributed to the Boards of Guardians. This being the case, he thaano.- • necessary that they, as Boards of C ....uardians, should take _ up this matter determinedly ; that they should at once inform these gentlemen that trampled upun their rights, and the rights of the poor, that we will not abide by the order sent dogn from them to us, as Boards of Guardians. —After a few words from Mr. CARTER, of Great Bolton, and Mr. LNGHAm, of Wigan, the Rev. Mr. BADNALL, who represented the West Derby Guardians, said, that, surrounded as West Derby was, by so many and various interests, he might say that it had always been the en deavour of the board, so long as he had been connected with it, to carry out the recommendation of the Poor-law Board in London. They had never kicked very much a&aint the Fricke. Whey had inq auxieu§ tg do their THE WELLINGTON MONUMENT. A very numerous and influential meeting of the in habitants of this town was held on Saturday, to decide on the propriety of raising a monument in Liverpool to the memory of one of the greatest men the world ever saw. It is but fitting that in the commercial metropolis of Great Britain an example should be set of performing an act of public gratitude to the man whose transcendent military services rescued British commerce from the trammels with which the conqueror of Europe would have fettered it, and whose subsequent career as a statesman gave a value to it at home which it could not otherwise have en joyed. It would be as tedious as unnecessary to recount the varied and valued services which the illustrious de parted rendered to his country, to civilisation, and to the world ; for all are unanimous in his praise. His name and his fame will endure so long as language shall exist in which to recal them ; and WELLINGTON will be remem bered as the name which shall most fitly express a genuine patriot, beside which all other titles are poor and un meaning. All are united as to the worthiness of the object to be commemorated, and it only remains to be seen whether the town of Liverpool, conspicuous above all others for the magnificence of her public buildings and the public spirit and munificence of her inhabitants, the emporium of the world's commercial greatness, of whom it may truly be said that her merchants aro princes, will yield the palm to any other city or town in raising an enduring monument to the memory of England's noblest and greatest son. Shall it be said of this great port, which is first seen by most of the foreigners who land on our shores, that, with her capacious docks, crowded with shipping from all parts of the globe; her St. George's Hall, unrivalled in Europe; her commodious Exchange ; her stately churches; her wide streets, and commanding edifices, that she has no monument connected with a name which all the world revere—in honour of the man who, more than any other, made the name of England respected and feared in every part of the habitable globe ? The credit of Liverpool it at stake, and we have no fear for the result of the appeal. We would, however, remark in passing, that while the loftiness of a pillar would make such a monument an object to be seen from afar, the placing of the propsed statue upon the top is at best one of questionable taste. It may be worthy of consideration whether a statue of the Duke upon an extended pedestal in the front of a lofty pillar would not better answer the requirements of enabling the statue to be seen from near and the monument to be seen from far. FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON 1T has at length been officially announced, that the fune ral of the late Duke of Wellington will take place on Thursday, the 18th of November, and that the route of the funeral procession will be from the Parade at the back of the Horse Guards, through St. James's-park, by the Mall, and up Constitution-hill, in the Green-park, passing under the equestrian statute of the Duke, rnd proceeding in front of Apsley-house down Piccadilly, St. James's street, Pall-mall, Charing-Cross, the Strand, Fleet-street, and Ludgate-hill, to the western door of St. Paul's Cathedral. THE COURT OF PASSAGE. This Court commenced i , ssitting yesterday, before E. JAMES, Esq., Assessor, and was held for the first time in the Nisi Prius Court, in St. George's Hall. The following cases were tried in the course of the day ; but, in the early portion of the morning, eight or nine were struck out, owing to the parties not being prepared : A SAILOR'S BILL PATTISON v. WILLIAMS.—In this case Mr. Aspiaall appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Blair for the defend ant. The plaintiff is a lodging-house keeper, and the defendant a sailor. The defendant had lodged with the plaintiff, and was supplied with goods to a considerable extent. Money had been paid on account ; and, accord ing to the evidence of the plaintiff, a balance was struck amounting to £4 ss. The defendant most positively denied this. Verdict for the defendant. THE SHIP CONSTITUTION REDHEAD AND ANOTHER V. BRITTON.—This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs. Redhead and Kerr, the owners of the steamer Helen Faucit, to recover from the defendant, the captain of the ship Constitution, the sum of £lO upon a breach of contract. Mr. Atkin son appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Aspinall for the defendant. It was alleged on the part of the plaintiffs, and evidence called to prove it, that on the night of the 29th June last the ship Constitution was brought out of dock into the river. The weather was very stormy. and the vessel about ten o'clock was dragging her anchor, when the Helen Faucit went to her assistance. On reach ing the Constitution the parties offered to pay £1 if they would fetch the Defiance to her. This was refused. On the part of the defendant the captain of the Con stitution was called, and he stated that the ship was not dragging her anchor, that she was not in danger, and they only called to the parties to send the Defiance steam-tug, which had been engaged to take them out to sea. The assessor in summing up said the simple question was whether there was a contract between the parties or not. The jury found for the defendant. ALLEGED TRESPASS In this case, John Hay was plaintiff, and Anne Rae the defendant.—Mr. Atkinson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall for the defendant. The defendant is a shoemaker, and was in the possession of a cellar at 173, Scotland-road, as under-tenant to the defendant. In the month of April last the defendant gave notice to quit to the plaintiff, and he was to leave on the 3rd of May, or pay double rent ; and on the 10th of that month he paid Gs., being a week's double rent. On the same day the front of the shop was made up, and he was unable to gain an entrance, or to get away his goods. The damages were laid at £5OO. The plaintiff having failed to establish that the boarding was put up by the defendant, the Assessor directed a non-suit to be entered. COLLISION IN THE STREET, BRANIGAN v COPPLESTONE.—This was an action to recover damages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff when crossing towards Fenvvick-street, by a person named Ashton, who was riding a grey galloway at a furious rate, ran against him, and knocked him down, by which he received considerable injury. Evidence was adduced showing the nature of the accident, but the only testimony to show that the horse belonged to the defendant was that of an Irishman. who stated that it was considered that the galloway belonged to him, and that Ashton was his cart.follower. The Assessor ruled that it was not sufficient, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. BREACH OF CONTRACT EAGIN V. IRVING AND ANOTHER.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for a breach of contract.—The jury found for the plaintiff. Damages 255. ALLEGED ILLEGAL DISTRAINT CLARK V. STAMPER AND OTHERS.—In this case Mr. Mr. Oubrey was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Blair for the defendants. The action was to recover damages for an illegal distraint. The plaintiff lived with his mo ther, in a small house, in Alice-street, Paddington. In the early part of May she died, and the goods were re moved from the house on the 3d and sth of June. On the latter day they were followed, seized, and sold for £2 14s. 7d. The plaintiff claimed the goods as his own, and said all the goods of the mother were sold during her illness to keep her. Mr. BLAIR, after stating that the action was an attor ney's action to obtain costs, contended that it had not been satisfactorily proved that the goods belonged to the plaintiff. He called one of the assistant-bailiffs, who stated that when he went to make the distress the goods in question were pointed out as belonging to the deceased, and if they would wait until evening the money would be paid. The ASSESSOR.—Why did you not wait till evening ? Witness.—lt was then two o'clock in the afternoon. The ASSESSOR.—You ought to have waited. Mr. M'OunREY replied, and the Learned ASSESSOR summed up, after which the jury found for the plaintiff, £5 damages. SILK A PROTECTION AGAINST INFECTION.—A silk covering of the texture of a common handkerchief is said to possess the peculiar property of resisting the noxious influence, and of neutralising the effects of malaria. It is well known that such is the nature of malaria poison, that it is easily decomposed by even feeble chemical agents. Now it is probable that the heated air proceed ing from the lungs, may form an atmosphere within the veil of silk, of power sufficient to decompose the miasma in its passage to the mouth, although it may be equally true, that the texture of the silk covering may act media 114 a wa-cmcwitvr,—,tion corripqnin, WE have little change to note in the position of the various wards of the town, beariny, upon the apr Municipal Election. In Exchange Ward a most flattering compliment has been paid to the retiring member, Mr. J. TYRER, who has been presented with a requisition, signed by 108 of the principal merchants' and brokers' firms, professional gentlemen, &c., of the ward, of all shades of pllitics, independently of tradesmen and operatives, to the number of about 170—in tact, by fully half the con stituency—expressive of confidence in him as a represen- if anin for their Mr. Tyre tative, and requesting him to offer hims suffrages. Of course, so valuable ame will be unopposed. In St. Anne's Ward, where Mr. F. SHAND is opposed by Mr. T. L. HODSON, it has now transpired that the contest is to be fought by the latter as the candidate of the Roman Catholic conclave, whose conduct in the Borough Election ousted poor Sir THos. BIRCH, and finally did very little service to Messrs. CARDWELL and mber as EWART. The whole affair is, in fact, a piece of political spite levelled at Mr. SHAND ; and an attempt by a cer tain clique in the town to foist into the Council Chamber a species of local " Brass Band," of which the worthy Sur geon is to be the leading instrument, upon which Dr. Cahill, Shiel, Bretherton and Co., propose to play. Even if their efforts were at all likely to he successful, we sus. pect that, by the hardest squeezing, they would get little out of Mr. T. L. Hodson. Ex nihilo nihil fit ; or, as the Doctor's Latin is not likely to be quite at his fingers' ends, we had better indulge him with the vulgar adage, which hints something about the manufacturing of a silk purse. Despite the " Drum Popish" which it is said is to be beaten on the ocasion, and the Sunday's pennies of the faithful, which are to be brought to bear upon the contest, Mr. SHAND, if his friends will only work as in St. Anne's Ward the Conservatives have always worked, will be in a triumphant majority. In Rodney Ward Mr. A. F. JONES, it will be seen from an advertisement in our columns this clay, retires from the contest. We regret his absence from the Council, as he was a most attentive member, especially on committees. In West Derby the contest between Mr. A. HENDER SON and Mr. WM. EARLE iS to be fought out ;—i.e. Mr. Earle's friends will fuss about during the early part of the day, unblessed by his sweet countenance ; and probably be rewarded at the unsuccessful close of the poll by a little of his usual acidity of temper. In Abercromby Ward, Mr. HALL has won golden opinions from his friends, by the manly and candid man ner in which he gave expression to his opinions yesterday evening week ; and more than all, by the feeling manner in which he deprecated on that occasion any unkind al lusion to his opponent, Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE. That gentleman's claims upon the Electors of the ward were advocated on Tuesday last, by Messrs. War. EARLE, JEFFERY, and Company. The latter gentleman, by.the bye, has been a little under the shade since the Borough Election ; and will, no doubt, exhibit in Abercromby Ward the same amount of vitality which had so little success on the occasion of his last appearance in public. The Canvass, we are assured, affords satisfactory indication that the choice of the electors will fall upon their present valuable member. In St. Paul's, vigorous preparations are being made for the tug of war between Mr. SAVAGE and Mr. GODFREY ; and the contest between Mr. ROGERS and Mr. M`NicoLL will also be well fought. The question in the latter ward appears to be one on local matters ; and probably that of " Tradesman v. Merchant" may exercise an influence. in Vauxhall Ward a Conservative Candidate appears in the person of Mr. ALEXANDER SHAND, to oppose the Election of Mr. Moss, who, owing to misinformation, we stated three weeks ago to be a Conservative. We have since learned that there is " a sell" going on in the ward ; and that Mr. Moss is to be returned by a certain party on this occasion, subject to conditions which materially affect the independence of the constituency. " Caw me, caw thee !" is the game which is being played, between the candidate and his chairman, and prospectively with ano ther gentleman. Vauxhall is, in fact, to be made a pocket ward, unless the electors look about them. In Mr. ALEX ANDER SHAND they have a most unexceptional candidate. Belonging to an old and respected family in the town, who are large employers of labour, and of shipping ; possessed too of talent, honesty, and ability, Mr. A. SHAND will he able to exercise an influence for the :benefit of the Ward which his opponents may at tempt in vain. The assurances of support which he has received comprise, we believe, the bulk of the respectable portion of the constituency. In Everton Ward the contest between Mr. CHALMER and Mr. ANDERSON goes on most promisingly for the latter. We append here the state of the polls in a few of the various Wards of the town, the last time they were con tested, viz. : EVERTON, 1850—W. Mellor, 310 ; Mr. Walthevv, 296. 1851—R. Aked, 171 ; J. Johnson, 65. ST. ANNE's, 1850—J. Nicholson,l72; W. K.Tyrer, 144. 1851—R. W. Houghton, /67 ; W. P. Prerne, 141. WEST DERBY, 1850—J. M. Wood, 260 ; E. Evans, 133. 1851—R. M. Beckwith, 223 ; W. Earle, 140. VAUXHALL, 1851—E. Bradley, 147 ; T. L. Hodson, 78. The other Wards now about to be contested returned their members in the above years without opposition. RAGGED SCHOOL UNION. The fifth annual meeting of the Liverpool Ragged School Union was held last evening, (Monday,) in the theatre of the Collegiate Institution,—Samuel Holime, Esq., in the chair. Amongst those present were the Rev. Thomas Moore, Rev. J. B, Lowe, Rev. Mr. Matthias, Dr. Hume, Rev. Mr. Howson, Rev. Mr. Robinson, Rev. Walter Smith, Rev. Mr. Butler, Rev. Mr. Wallace, E. Heath, Esq., J. C. Duncan, Esq.. R. Arnott, Esq., R. Radcliffe, Esq., H. H. Statham, Esq., Rev. W. 11. Duck, Rev. Robert Brown, A. 1. Ritchie, Esq., James Burt, Esq., &e. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said it was with some feelings of regret that he saw so small an attendance. He was unwilling to attribute it to a lack of zeal in the cause, and supposed it was owing to the bois terous state of the weather. Among the many institutions of a religious and moral character which did honour to the piety of the age, there were few which had higher claims upon their attention than the one for which they were assembled. Among the poor and the destitute of the population therewere hundreds of thousands of thechildren whohad noopportunity of knowing anything of thecomforts of home or of their duties as immortal beings. While the offspring of artisans and others were provided for in schools and other means of instruction, these wretched little beings had nothing done for them until the establish ment of these Ragged Schools provided for a want which had long been felt but had never before been met. Many of them knew nothing of parents or home, their only resort was the streets, their only language was that of blasphemy ; and when it is considered that we shall all have one day to give an account of our stewardship, the duty was evident that we should show ourselves sensible of the blessings we enjoy, by doing our utmost to rescue these little outcasts from their otherwise inevitable doom. It was gratifying to see that much had been done, and he most cordially recommended the Ragged School Union to their christian charity, as an institution which was most especially de serving of their support. The SECRETARY (James Burt, Esq.) read the annual report of the committee, which has already been pub lished, but from which we give the following details : " The Committee desire to record, that the experience of another year has fully confirmed their previous convic tion of the benefits which Ragged Schools are calculated to confer, and they rejoice in the aid which, by your as sistance, they have been enabled to render in so good a cause. " In the last report, the number of children attending Ragged Schools was stated to be about 2,7oo—during the past year, there has been an increase of about 500, and it will be interesting to notice, that, by a careful examina tion, it has been found, that of these otherwise neglected little odes, upwards of 1,500 are stated to be able to read ; that about 350 are known to be in stated attendance on places of worship; whilst more than 200 have been pro vided with situations, and, in most caes, are conducting themselves satisfactorily to their employers, and thus bid ding fair to be creditable members of society. When it is borne in mind, that these children are almost without ex ception of the very lowest class, accustomed to the aspect of vice in its worst and most revolting forms, and who, but for the instruction conveyed through Ragged Schools, would have remained as ignorant as the most degraded savage, it is surely a matter of heartfelt gratification to every Christian, that, in the town of Liverpool, an instru mentality is now at work, by which, in so short a space of time, and with comparatively such small pecuniary means, so great an amount of good has already been accomplished. It is worthy of remark, that of the 200 thus provided with situations, upwards of SO have been drawn from the In dustrial Schools ; and your Committee are much gratified in being able to state, that so much do the public already appreciate the effect of the training and discipline which these institutions afford, that no difficulty is experienced in obtaining employment for such boys as the superin tendents can recommend." The Committee, having alluded to the appointment of Mr. Alexander Gillespie as superintendent, in the place of Mr. Brennan, report most favourably of the manner in which he has performed his duties. They state that,— " By means of his regular and frequent visits, the Com mittee are kept in constant and affectionate intercourse with the managers and teachers of the different schools, while the experience and extended sphere of observation afforded to their officer, enables him to be at once the councillor of the more recent labourers, and the strengthener of those whom a temporary want of success might expose to great discouragement. In numerous instances also has the superintendent been enabled to follow up, or trace out cases of juvenile neg lect and wretchedness, and to draw them within the sphere 91 the Ragged School, which, but Or him, might hAvq. had o d f uty th t o o se the ar r o a u te n p d aye ti r . s em and to the laws, and Li: e a :ells: s e the board of guardians w anxious, so far as in them lay, to promote the w oil .
