Has not our conduct, on the contrary, even in Europe, been aggressive and pro vocatory to war in the very highest degree ? Did we not unite with France to force a revolutionary government on Spain and Portugal, and to prevent a legitimate one in Belgium from recovering its lawful possessions ? Did we not, along with Russia, Prussia, and Austria, throw down the gauntlet, at the time of the bombardment of Beyrout and the siege of Acre, to France ; and did not the firm ness of Louis Philippe and the accession of Guizot, whom he called to his councils at the critical moment, alone prevent a general and a frightful war in Europe? It is well known, to all persons -acquainted with the subject, that we were still nearer a war with France some years afterwards, when the affair of Otaheite and Queen Pomare revived the ancient and undying jealousy of the two countries. We know it for a fact, that at that period the French were prepared for, and fully expected, instant hos tilities; and that for several nights six thousand choice light troops slept armed and accoutred on board the huge war-steamers at Cherbourg, ready to start at daybreak for a descent on the southern shores of Britain, and on some of its undefended dockyards, where not a vestige of preparation had been made to repel them.—Blackwood. THE PROEESSOR AND THE PLAYER.—Mr. Charles Mathews writes to a London paper as follows :—" In my small farce of the Ringdoves,' the name of Methusalem ' occurs, and has been by me so printed. A gentleman from King's College, Cambridge, who signs himself ' Screw tatpr,' has attacked me on the correctness of the name, which, lam 'told bp him is Methusalon,' and lam re ferred to Genesis, chap. - 5, v. 27,' in support of his correc tion, and requested to acknowledge through -the public press. Now, with all humbleness of spirit, I beg to differ from this erudite moonshee, and to affirm that Methu- Belem' is strictly correct. Firstly let me premise thitt the common Hebrew makes it Methusalech;' with the final clieta. Indeed, the name of this very old gentleman, who attained to nearly a thousand yaers of age, is spelt in various and dissimilar ways. On one of the sculptured rocks of Metayath—which, by-the-by, is a comparatively recent authority, being but of three thou sand years's date—the name is written Methusay/u. man ; and even among the Yezides, or Devil-worship pers who have no ' written book,' it is Methuz-iman. The single authority extant for ' Methuselah' occurs in the Chaldaic version • but the Chaldaic being in a She mitic dialect, a sort a congener of the Hebrew and the Syriac, the authority is singularly hypothetical. The cpmmentators—Rashi. Gomora, the Talmud, the Mishna, and the Council of Beth 'Din•-•all agree in spelling the name Methusalem' ; and if more modern authorities are required to prove my position, I would refer to the learned Polander, Rabbi Scher:tile Lock Baumer, and to the very reverend and erudite chief rabbi of the Jews of Great Britain, Doctor Adler. Itis strange that the name spelt Metbusalene occurs in the Shezdar of Brame, and • in the Ti Kong of the Chinese Confutzee, a copy of which is in my possession, and to which' Screw-tator.' of King's College, Cambridge, is most welcome to refer."

(Ap- LW" "CUZ , Uilt_i.. ll . "...f cm , . .. .- -- plause.) There are two points of view in which this than one word. The resolution spoke of the existence of proceeding may be regarded. It may be i„ e d as great spiritual destitution, and, if proof were needed of an infringement of the supremacy of the Queen, and the truth of that, he might, amongst other melancholy he independence of the realm. In that evidences, refer to the lamentable fact that, at this too . ~ e gression on respect it will be the dut, of our legislators to repress toe -- intrusion by such temperate but firm measures as may be sand prisoners : he might also state that, on the average, adequate for the purpose. (Cheers.) The other point of view there were not less than seventy individuals placed daily in which it may be regarded is—and it is that point before our stipendiary magistrate, charged with every of view on which alone 1 wish to speak—it may be re- description of crime. This showed clearly that legal garded as an undisguised attempt towards drawing over enactments were impotent in repressing crime, and that the people of this country to the Roman Catholic com- frequent punishment (for many of those then brought munion. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) Speaking before the magistrate had often been in the same situa with all humility, and with a dependence upon the piovi- tion before) tended to harden the offender. He consi dence of God, I am ready to say that I, for my part, dered that the remedy for this state of things would he humbly trust that those expectations of success which found in building schools and churches, and putting have . been so openly avowed by the agents of the zealous men in them—men who would preach the Gospel, Roman Church will not be realised in the event. We and who would have no respect for Romanizing practices. are not without great safeguards. There was once a time (Hear, hear.) Speaking of the necessity of zeal on the when Popery prevailed over the whole, or over nearly the part of those acting for the society, he said if it were a whole of Europe. That was a time when intellectual society for the relief of the temporal wants of the poor— darkness prevailed, and when the Bible was a sealed book. if it distributed food and clothing amongst them — it Popery even now prevails over a large portion of Europe; would merely he necessary to say where it was located, but it is over that portion in which the Bible is still, as and the people would flock to it ; but as its benefits were far as possible, withheld by the priesthood from the hands of the people. In our own free, Protestant, happy coup of a spiritual character, professing to s upply what people try—(applause),—the Bible is in the hands of all, and I trust I may also say, through God's grace, not only in the hands, but in the hearts of our people too (loud applause.) It is the Bible that will be, usder God's blessing, our great safeguard. It is the standard of our reformed church ; it is the ground-work of our confidence, our se curity, under God's blessing, against relapsing into the errors of Romanist», and all vain traditions of man's de vice. (Applause.) I think we can meet the movement of the Pope by the free circulation of the Bible, and also by another means kindred to this,—by bringing,—for if we have but the mind and will, we have the ability—by bringing the services and ordinances of our church within reach of the dwellings and homes, to the very doors of our vast population. (Applause.) I gladly own that much has been done in this direction in Liverpool, but very much still remains for us to do. The number of our churches and ministers, great as has been the in crease, is very far from being adequate to the magnitude of the people, and to the spiritual exigences of the coun try. There is a most urgent and imperative claim upon as to use our best efforts to supply this deficiency which now exists, and especially at the present time. If we are really desirous to preserve our people from the perversions of Rocnanisna, the way is, under God's blessing, to provide them with places of worship, with ministers for those places, and withthe means of religious instruction within the bo som of our own church. Let this be done, and all the edicts from Rome will fall as idle paper on our shores. (Great applause.) His lordship then proceeded to observe that the present was a time especially calling upon all to assist in its efforts, so excellent,useful, and benevolent,a society, and having thanked the auditory for the patience and - attention with which they had listened to him, sat down amidst loud applause. The Rev. W. POLLOCK, before the report was read, stated that the committee had felt some delicacy in cal ling upon the bisbop so often to preside over their meetings; he had, therefore, waited on his worship the mayor, with the purpose of soliciting his presence as chairman. His worship signified the pleasure he should have taken in complying with the solicitation, but was prevented accepting the invitation from the press of prior engagements as well as from ill health. His wor ship had, however, presented him (11r. Pollock) with a five pound note, to be applied to the purposes of the society. are riot aware go out and compel aim to come in. (Hear, hear.) Now, he thought it behoved the laity to take care that so laudable a society did not pine for want of funds. It was with this view that be, a layman, addressed the meeting. He had read in the papers, that the society had provided four hundred faithful ministers, who were constantly going about in the pursuit of their sacred vocation ; and he con- sidered so noble a result ought to be liberally maintained ; but he found that Liverpool stood in the position of a pauper in relation to the society, for while she contributed only £lOOO to its funds, she received £l6OO ! This was disgraceful. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the laity would come forward and prevent the continuance of such a state of things, and that by the appointment of faithful ministers the Gospel would he preached to the poor in churches in which, as had been said by Mr. Champneys, not one rag of Popery could be seen, nor any Romanising practices observed. As Mr. Horsfall resumed his seat, the room resounded with loud and long continued plaudits. The Rev.. J. MILLER, rector of St. Martin's, Birming ham, one of the deputation from the Parent Society, came forward to second the resolution. He said he had always thought a great mistake had been made at public meetings of that description, by having more than two parties as a deputation ; and if he might be allowed he would, without meaning any harm to the secretaries, say that that rule might have been observed on that occasion with advantage to himself,—for he found himself in the painful position of having nothing to say, after what had been said by his friends, Mr. Champneys and Mr. Bardsley. Mr. Miller, however, proceeded to give some further information relative to the working of the societys His own parish contained 30,000 souls, though from circumstances he did not participate in the benefit of the society : the church accommodation for these 30,000 people was one church, containing about 260 pews. He contrasted this deplorable state of things with the energy displayed by the Dissenters and the Roman Catholics, who he believed were about to erect another cathedral, and whose priests, monks, and sisters of mercy, abso lutely swarmed the town. The rev. gentleman afforded much information of an interesting character, relative to the working of the society. The Rev. Dr. WNEILE, in the course of supporting the resolution, delivered a long. eloquent, animated, and ar gumentative speech. He said they had heard that even ing an interesting description of the original condition of the Church, when the people of England were also the Church of England,—when every parish had its pastor, and every pastor was able to attend to that parish. They had been long and gradually declining from that happy state of things ; and it was worth while to trace some few of the steps by means of which the people of England had become divided into large masses from the Church of England. The people for this were not all to blame ; the rulers of both Church and State had partly themselves to , blame, when, by drawing the Act of Uniformity so tight, they forced 2 , 000 of the best, or some of the best minis ters of the Established Church to become Dissenters. Something like order was of course indispensable, and where to draw the line required wisdom ; but when the same undeviating line was applied alike to essentials in doctrine and principle, and to non-essentials in forms and dress, human nature could not bear such an uniformity, —no such example of uniformity was to be found in any of the works of creation,—and then it was a division and separation took place. Unity in diversity was the order of all God's works; unity in diversity belonged to every nation, as a nation, under heaven ; and unity in diversity should be the characteristic of a national church ; other wise, in proportion as a rigid uniformity was insisted upon, the church was rendered impossible to be national, and some of its people must be lost from it (applause.) He would not say there had not been perverseness on the other side, in causing a division ; but when these minis ters did leave, a large mass of the people left with them ; influence attached to such masses ; property be ; came theirs, and in due time political power also ; and the fact was, that now political power was so divided amongst the members of Christian churches, that no vote of public money could be obtained for the extension of the Established Church to meet the exigencies of the po pulation. (Hear, hear.) There ought to be a public • grant of money for church extension ; but, the truth was, that no government could carry such a grant. They (the audience) might be inclined to say " Improve the parlia ment, so that the next House of Commons will give it." They couldn't ; they had not the power; but they could take one step towards it, by improving their own repre sentatives—(hear, hear, and loud and prolonged cheers) ; —and let him avail himself of that opportunity of saying that the probability was they would shortly have the chance of trying to do this. (Cheers.) Dr. Yr Neile then alluded to the debate in the House of Commons, and to the ad journment for a week. Rome was always working trouble to England. What connexion was there, did they think, between Rome and this adjournment ? He was not at liberty to tell this I but he was At liberty to know from . Rome's laws and Rome's practices that wherever ahc was After transacting cutchery (office) business for an hour or twe, I was sitting with Swahn Khan, Vizeeree, and his interpreter, talking over Bunnoo affairs, when the cry' arose that " swords were going.!" Swahn Khan having no arms, according to camp rules, bolted out of the tent; while his " man Friday" began dancing about, ringing his hands, and ejaculating, " Oh, that I had now a sword ! This is the evil of taking away men's proper tools !" Having ever since the first attempt of this kind kept a double-barreled pistol on my table, I now cocked both 'barrels and walked outside, for the row had grown quite deafening, and I thought there must be a dozen Ghazees at least ; in which case one person inside a tent 14 feet square wouldstand but a poor chance. Scarcely had I glt out at the one door than the Ghazee, for there proved to be only one, forced his way through the sentries and chwassees, official messengers, and entered my tent at the other door. Hearing the rush I turned round, and saw through the screens of the tent, a Bunnochee with a naked sword plunginglafter me like a mad bull. The outside door of .an Indian tent turns up, and is supported on props during the day, as a kind of porch, to keep off the sun. It is very low, and I knew the Ghazee must stoop as he came out, so here I took my stand. His turban was knocked off in stooping at the door, and when he stood Up outside, he glared round for his victim like a tiger who had missed his spring. Then his eyes met mine, and seeing no resource, I fired ore barrel into his breast. 'The shock nearly knocked him down, for there could not have been two feet between us. He staggered, but did not fall ; and I was just thinking of firing the other barrel at his head, when a stream of soldiers and camp followers, with all kinds of weapons, rushed in and bore away the wretch some twenty yards towards a native's tent, into which, hacked and chopped in every direction, he con trived to crawl ; but was followed up, and was so mangled by the indignant crowd before my people could interfere, that I wonder he survived a minute. He lingered how ever, till night, in spite of the remedies which the native doctor, by my orders, applied to Lim. The rage of the soldiery was beyond description, and I had great difficulty in preventing his being carried off to be burned alive. Even late in the evening a deputation came to say that i 1 was apparent the Ghazee could not live out the night, and "had he not better be hanged at once, while he had any life .n him ?" I said, " No, let him die ; the exam ple will he just as great, perhaps greater, if his body is i exposed oa the gallows afterwards." My tent, immedi ately after this startling occ urrence was besieged by the officers and soldiers, some ha l f na k e d, just as they had andrus h e i e t uponwas really- th fort quite works s u ifiwc e e n n tcompensation they for the heard my pistol ; danger to see the unfeigned anxiety of the men, and hear their loud greetings and congratulations. All discipline was lost in such a moment of strong feeling. Thirty swords at least, covered with blood, were held out.among the crowd, and as many voices shouted, " I hit the dog in this way !" " I cut him that." And certainly they Lad not left much of him untouched, though they had beein too much in each other's way to deal very fatal blows, Then came all the officers and sidars of the force. throw.- ing down nuzzars and whirling money round my head, as I is their custom on occasions of triumph or deliverance, and the sun set before I could get rid of the assembly. The worst part of the whole business is, that the Ghazee slashed one of my sycee, grooms, most severely before he entered my tent, and I am afraid he is anything but out of danger. The poor fellJw was cooking his dinner, and the cowardly rascal sliced him with his tulwar all down the back.=-Edwardes's Year on 14c Panjab *Frontier. The Rev. W. BREWSTER then read the report, which was a very interesting document. The Report opened with the following remarks :—" In times of unparalleled excitement like the present, when the holiest principles of our religion are assailed, and the time-honoured institutions of our country imperilled by the machinations of infidelity, and the devices of super stition, it must be gratifying to every Christian patriot to know that there still exists in the kingdom one society at least Scriptural in constitution, loyal in purpose, and Protestant in determination ; a society whose unceasing object it has been, and still continues to be, to preserve unmutilated, and transmit to succeeding generations, unimpaired, the rich blessings of the Reformation ; a so ciety which, with a modesty that bespeaks her merit, and with a perseverance which demonstrates her sincerity, toils on through goodreport and evil report in thethankless office of serving others ; a society which, in the use of means which God has ordained and promised to honour, seeks to instruct the ignorant, reclaim the wanderer, con vert the sinner, comfort the afflicted ; a society which, desirous to protect the national faith, and elevate the national character—not by the adoption of untried theories —not by submission to time-serving expediency, but by diffusing through the length and breadth of the land sound Scriptural Protestant truth : in a word, it must be cheering to know, that we have still amongst us, i n active operation and undiminished hope, the Church Pastoral Aid Society, established fifteen years ado, by men of God, keenly alive to the spiritual necessity of our eountry. The society has been carried on and conducted in the spirit of faith and prayer ; and, year after year, has the committee received testimonies increasing in number and importance to the value of its labours." The report then proceeded to allude to the di rec t ad vantages furnished by the society in affording fellow labourers and lay agents to the clergy; but the blessings resulting indirectly from the operations of the society were inestimable. The funds have not, however, kept pace with its acknowledged usefulness. There are now above fifty pressing cases before the committee of the parent society, who have been obliged, within the last few days, to resolve not to make any new grants until the end of the financial year, in consequence of a falling off in the xeceipts ; and unless their recent appeal is liberally re sponded to, there must be a diminution of the society's operetions. Notwithstanding this state of things, the grants to Liverpool are greater than at any former period --being 23 in number, involving an outlay of £1,600 a year—whi r lst the town contributes, in return, less than £l,OOO per appum ; the parent society having sustained a loss by these grants, in eleven years, of more than £5,000. Ti 4 committee very properly ask, " How long tolerated she was intolerant; that wherever she was en couraged she would disturb; that wherever she was treated with kindness and courtesy as agood neighbour, she would prove an enemy in the disguise of a neighbour. She had done so, and she would do so again as soon as the power was given to her. (Applause.) He felt confident that unless ottr rulers would defend the country against Romanism, politically so considered, she would continue her operations till her object was gained.

THE EXPECTED ELECTION FOR A OF PARLIAMENT FOR LIVERPOOL EMBER TO THE_ EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD - - SIR,--We are in all probability on the point of an elec tion.. Let me ask the Conservatives of this town—are they prepared for it ? It may be a general election ; but, under any circumstances, if one of our present mem bers joins the Russell Cabinet (Mr. Cardwell) he will have to be re-elected. The question I wish to put to the Conservatives is, Will they vote for him ? I think not, after the extraordinary way in which he behaved to this con stituency, on the subject of the repeal of the Navigation Laws. Liverpool ought to take the earliest opportunity of showing that above all things, it values honesty of purpose, and will not put up with even a hesitating poli tician. Then comes the question—have we a gentleman suitable in everything to replace this wavering gentleman ? I say we have, and he a townsman of great ability and unblemished honour—Mr. Thomas Berry Horsfall. On this occasion there must be no divisions if we wish to oust Mr. Cardwell ; it must be done by one of the old fashioned pulls, a strong one, and one altogether. Let the sailors, the shipwrights, the coopers, and the other trades put themselves in motion, and be prepared for the coming event, and particularly the canvassers, who have always had so much influence in winning an election. — I am, AN OLD CANVASSER. Liverpool Exchange, 24th Feb., 1851. THE LORD CHANCELLOR AND THE WELSH LAN GUACE.—SOIDC short time ago the Lord Chancellor pre sented the Rcv. David Jeffrey, curate of Neath, in South Wales, to the rectory of Tir Newydd, in Anglesey, vacant by the death of the Rev. R.lrye Hughes. Mr Welshman, and well acquainted with his mother tongue; and in reference to this subject, it is asserted that the Lord Chancellor has expressed his intention of not be stowing any of his Welsh patronage on ministers who are not thoroughly proficient in, and masters of, the Welsh language. [The rev. gentleman above referred to is bro ther of Mr. W. P. Jeffrey, one of the Councillors of Pitt street Ward.] THE DECADENCE OF THE BAR.—During the past and present week, Newcastle, Gateshead, South Shields, Durham, and other places, have been surprised at the appearance of barristers at the county courts. Mr. Chas. Otter has been accompanied by Mr. Losh, Mr. Selby, Mr. Mulcaster, Mr. Blackwell, and Mr. Bainbridge, in an almost briefless perambulation ! We confess that this act on the part of Mr. Otter and his friends has caused us peculiar pain. We deem it a departure from the dignity of the bar, and we are confident that in the end every barrister who has been a party to this most imprudent, most injudicious, and indefensible step, will see cause to regret it.—Durham Advertiser. SHAREHOLDERS IN BANES.--The Court of Exchequer decided last week an important case with reference to the North of England Bank. The effect of the decision con fines the liability of shareholders within the very proper limits prescribed by the bank act, viz., to the period of three years from the time of ceasing to hold shares ; and the result of a contrary decision would have been that a shareholder instead of being free at the end of that period would have been liable to proceedings in bankruptcy at any time within the statute of limitations, which might be nearly six years in the case of a simple contract debt, and nearly twenty years in the case of a specialty debt, after he had parted with his shares. COCKADE AND TRUE BLUE.—Both owe their origin to the wars of the Scottish Covenanters ; and the cockade appears to have been first adopted as a distinguishing emblem by the English army at the battle of Sherra-muir, where the Scotch wore the Blue ribbon as a scarf, or on their bonnets, (which was their favourite colour.) Th e English army then, to distinguish themselves, assumed a black rosette on their bats, which, from its position, the Scotch nick-named a " cock'adc," (with which our use of the word " cockscomb" is connected,) and is still retained.
