TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR, — OBSERVE in the LIVERPOOL ALBION of to-day a report of the proceedings of the • Birkenhead Commis sioners at their meetings on Saturday last; and I cannot allow to pass without notice that part of the paragraph which refers to the present water rates of the Birkenhead and Claughton Gas anti Water Company, and those proposed by the intended bill of the Commissioners. I beg to state, very briefly, that so far from allaying, it is calculated to cause very much miscon ception, and that—either through inorance, or of set purpose —it is incorrect ; and I subjoin a statement at foot, which I think may prevent any further mistake upon this subject. I remain yours respectfully. SAMUEL HIGHFIELD, Manager of Birkenhead anti Claughton Gas and Water Company. ?4, ift k. i , ~., c .., ••• c.. ori. ~., o 0 " .. ' 0 oto 0 0 A- = 0 t-t 0 ;,.. 0. , P.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Sta,—Can you inform me what has become of all those noisy patriots who were so clamorous a year or two ago to pay their rates, dreading, if too late to pay them, they would not be on the register of voters ; if they are still in existence, and as desirous of relieving the poor as they pretended to be, now is the time for them to come for ward, and show that their professions were not so hollow as every one believed them. At all events, it is time some plan should be adopted, to more fairly equalise amongst the inhabitants, the enormous burthen of the poor rates which will have to be levied the ensuing year ; and the foolish system of granting exemptions must be abolished, because it is absurd for people living in houses of £l6 or £lB per annum rental, to be exempt because they profess an inability to pay; and although i would not distress the widow or orphan, I do think that to exempt a widow liv ing in her own house, which would be let for £35 per an num, merely because she has a " friend in court," is " too bad." Hoping that the overseers will institute a strict and searching inquiry into the circumstances of all who claim exemption, and that all who can may be made to pay the rates, particularly that for the poor, - ram, sir, &c. X. January 14th, 1847. [We have received several communications on the latter subject alluded to in this letter, but the attention of the parish office will be sufficiently called to it by this notice.] BLASPHEMY IN THE MERCURY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sin,—lf there is one thing worse than another in the press of this country, it surely is to be found in the print ing and publishing papers of an immoral, and still worse, a blasphemous nature. The Mercury has printed in to day's impression a paper of this kind. It is headed, "The Scribes and Pharisees of Manchester," and is blasphe mously termed a new translation of a chapter in Chroni cles. Truly will it cause a smile on the countenance of the godless but to the man who fears God, and reverences: His holy Word, there will be a very different feeling, Some may pass it over, and many others may never think of remonstrating; and the object of this is to call forth a feeling of repugnance that may go far to prevent a repeti tion. Were I a - subscriber to the Mercury (which Inever intend to be), I would have given up the worthless print this very day. I call it a worthless print ; but surely a far stronger term is needed to describe the true character of the man who, with the means of doing much good, em ploys those very means to the dissemination of so vile a document. He that addeth thereto, to him shall be added the curses that are written in this book ; and surely this language may be applied to that man who is guilty of bringing ridicule on the Gospel of Christ. I trust, Mr. Editor, to your value of the truth for the insertion of these few remarks in your next, for it fre quently happens that things get published which ought to be suppressed, and it will give the editor of the Mercury the opportunity of either openly avowing or repudiating any knowledge of so iniquitous a paper being inserted in his print. The world is not so bad as to bear such insults to the truth . . But lam defeating my object by writing at such length. Pray notice it, and, if possible, give this a place.—l am, sir, &c, MONITOR. Liverpool, Jan. 15, 1847 COLONISATION. At the immense meeting of Irish landed proprietors in Dublin, on Thursday, Mr. Godley, who made a powerfu speech, proposed a large scheme of colonisation. After expressing his dislike, in the abstract, to emigration, and his opinion that man is the most valuable production of any country, he contended, that in Ireland they had no other 'resource to' fly to. "It must be recollected," he said, " that hitherto a large proportion of our labourers have been enabled, by means of potato cultivation, to subsist idly and unproductively during a considerable part of the year. But now this must be all changed ;' these people must be supported by money wages, not only in creased in amount, but regularly paid. Improved sys tems of cultivation must be adopted, and fresh capital created or introduced, and capital will not easily be brought to flow into a country in such a disturbed and anarchic-al state as this is. Under these circumstances, it cannot be doubted, that after all the resources of the country, and all the energies of individuals have been taxed to the utmost, there must remain a large residue of what I must call (though I hate the word) residue popu lation. (Hear, hear.) \Vliat are we to do with them ? We cannot let them starve. (Cheers.)" Mr. Godley urged that emigration, or rather colonisa tion, on a large scale, carried ou by the joint aid of the landlords and the Government would be the most effectual remedy. If a proprietor wished to relieve his estate, be might purchase a portion -of the land to be colonised, have a right to recommend emigrants to be sent out by Government in proportion to the number of acres imr chased, anti the same devoted to us-fat works. "And if," he remarked, " this scheme, were adopted, he did not see why the population of whole districts aught not emigrate togetbcr--families, friends, laiullorda,• tenants, clergy— so that as much as poaaiide cf the old associations of their I, home and country might be preserved in distant lands. I have myself seen whole districts in Canada thus peopled by Scottish clans, - Macdonalds and Macuabs, where the old names'briog back the old feelings—where they rejoice together over the historical associations of Scotland — where they listen to their native music, and recite their native poetry—where, in short, they seem to preserve their old eowitry, while they have gained a new one. (Hear and cheers.) Let our countrymen follow their example." - The conclusion of Mr. Goclley's speech, as to the future prospects of Ireland, is so beautiful that we cannot forbear quoting it And now, my lord, I have done-- but before I sit down 1 will say a very few words on the my lord, but I h ave s t rong h o p es th a t general subject of the meeting. (Hear, hear.) Oar ea ultimately come o f it. S u ff er i ng i s th e l gr an e i a i t ty g i o s o l d iea n v l y ay , school of nations as of individuals; gold is purified as well as tried in the tire ; the sailor is formed not on the calm lake or the peaceful river, but .by battling with-the dark ocean and under the stormy sky ; and so it is with life. (I pear, bear, and cheers.) it is not in peace and luxury, but in strife and difficulty and in danger: it is in times of war, and famine, and revolution, when the waters are out and the elements in commotion, that noble characters are out and mighty deeds are done. Hear, hear.) And so it may be with us, if such time o oo r p T e re ln ! l arl. My lord, I (s and firm CD iction, upon us, it may t ( ch N iti V a l l l tn i C ol o h tw ( be l ru o i d tn gar repeat tend t a ima r e ryk in aar (sisetliel hale prove the moaning star of a brighter day— and that future generations of Mailmen may look back with awe, indeed, and fear, but with gratitude and blessings to the year of famine. (Loud cheers.)" ANVIVAIS OF IRISH Voott,—For some weeks pnst, the ar rnivelii people have continued to re I,Cit individuals.

GOVERNMENT VESSELS ENGAGED TN THE SUPPLY OF FOOD FOR THE DISTRESSED IN IRELAND AND SCOTLAND. In order to provide increased facilities for the transport of foOd to the sufferers from famine in Ireland and Scot land, the Government have placed at the disposal of the relief committee 31 steamers, with a total tonnage of 21,773 tons, and six sailing vessels, tonnage 464 tons. Five vessels besid6, with a tonnage of 5,282 tons, are moored in various ports as depots. The total tonnage employed is 27,523 tons, manned by 2,660 men. Of the above the Terrible, 1,847 tons, is refitting at Woolwich ; the Avenger, 1,444 tons, is at Devonport loaded for the West coast of Ireland ; the Centaur, 1,269 tons, is to be immedi ately loaded for Tobermory and Portree, Islands of Mull and Skye ; the Scourge, 1,124 tons, is getting ready for a cargo at Portsmouth for Cork ; another 1,100 tons, taking in a cargo at Plymouth ; the Rosamond, 1,059 tons, preparing to load at Woolwich ; the Sphynx, 1,056 tons, preparing to load at Devonport with meal ; Geyser, 1,054, at Portsmouth preparing to load with meal ; Stromboli, 970, distributing meal at the Western Islands of Scotland ; Rattler, 880, preparing to receive a cargo at Devonport ; Medea., 835, ordered to Deptford to load; Rhadamanthus, 813, gone with a full cargo to Clifden ; Acheron, 720, con veying provisions from depot at Galway to neighbouring districts; Dee, 704, carrying provisions from Cork to Cahirciveen ; Firefly, 552, at Oban for the service of the Western Islands of Scotland ; Blazer, 527, conveying pro visions to Meeur and Kenmare ; Tartarus, 523, fitting at Woolwich to proceed with meal to Bantry and Beerhaven ; Albani, 405, replenishing depots in the South of Ireland ; Lucifer, 387, employed in Ireland by the Commissary- General ; Porcupine, 382, preparing to load at Portsmouth for Kenmare ; Myrmydon, 374, at Cork towing provision vessels ; and nine other smaller steamers are employed carrying provisions along the coasts of Ireland and Scot land. Of the six sailing vessels, one is loaded and about to sail for Scotland, and the remainder are for Ireland. The depot ships are—Andromeda, 1,215 tons, moored at Killibegs, Ireland ; Madagascar, 1,165, moored at Tar bert, Ireland ; YEolus, 1,077, moored at Portree, Scot land ; Belvider4, 946, moored at Tobermory, Scotland ; and Andromache, 717, moored at Galway, Ireland. In addition to the above there must be added the crew lent from guardships, &c., amounting to between 600 and 700 men, making a total of nearly 3,000 men ; and three of the largest packets will be temporarily taken from their stations for the relief service, of which the aggregate ton nage would be about 2,000, making the whole tonnage close upon 30,000 tons. LOSS OF BRITISH AMERICA AS A COLONY. In an able letter which .appears in the Canadian hews- . papers, addressed by Mr. Isaac Buchanan, of Glasgow, to Lord Elgin, the Governor-General of British North America, the probable separation of that country from Great Britain, and its annexation by the United States, as the result of our free-trade policy, are thus pointed out : " When fighting the rebels in 1837 i we had it to say that Church matters would be righted—that it was not the British government, but a mere Colonial faction, that wished exclusive privileges ; and as retarded material prosperity, or at least its elements, we emadshow Canada to be better off than the United States. " But the rebel of 1847 could show a very different picture. He could show Church questions unsettled, and he is now armed with the FACT, that it is better (under Free Trade) for an emigrant to go to the southern or American side of the St. Lawrence, for the self-evident reason that there he has all the advantages of the English market for his labour, as well as the American market, while the Canadian farmer has only the English market. " To show your Excellency the utter impossibility of Canada continuing a part of the British Empire, if free trade is carried out, the single fact will be enough, that, by withdrawing the advantage in the British market of a dollar on each barrel of flour that the Canadian enjoyed over the American farmer, free trade reduces the price in Montreal to about a dollar the barrel below New York ; because the British speculator will be as well able to pay four dollars a barrel in New York (so much less are the freight insurance and outlay on money) as three dollars in Montreal. " The Canada farmer, with his disadvantage of climate, cannot live unless he gets access to the New York mar ket, from which the Americans debar him by a duty of 10s. per quarter on wheat ; and even if he gets access to New York, and otherwise gets free trade w►th the Ameri cans, this only (by amalgamating the two people) makes the annexation the more certain, though deferred for a few years. " It is therefore my solemn conviction, • that your Ex cellency will be the last British Governor-General of the North American Colonies," THE MINISTERIAL INTENTIONS. Under this head, the Manchester Guardian, which, from the fact that its information may be presumed to come from Mr. Milner Gibson, a member of the admi nistration, and one of the members for Manchester, is entitled to credit, contains the following remarks with respect to the intentions of Lord John Russell's govern ment "We are informed, from an authority on which we depend, that, immediately on the meeting of parliament, ministers will propose strong and decided measures for the purpose of facilitating in every possible way the importation of food, and of economising the •use of the stocks of grain in this country by the removal of the existing restrictions on the use of sugar and molasses. We have reason to believe that the plan of the govern ment will comprehend provisions to render available for the English market those stocks of grain in the N.Tedi terranean ports and ' elsewhere which are at present excluded by the operation of the navigation laws.' After expressing its opinion of the probable power of the premier to carry his measures, the Guardian con tinues : " If our anticipations be fulfilled, Lord John Russell will effectually remove from his administration the impu tation of doing nothing with which, during part of hii former tenure of office, he was so constantly assailed ; and the parliament of 1841, in which the party of resistance saw the complete triumph of its principles, will be, to future ages, a still more signal example of the great truth, that in this country no power can withstand the require ments of an advancing public opinion." MEETING OF MAGISTRATES.-IMPORTANT LETTER FROM MR. RUSHTON. A meeting of the borough magistracy, preliminary to the sessions on the Ist of February, was held on Saturday at the Sessions-house. G. H. LAWRENCE, Esq., the mayor, presided ' • and there were also present Thomas Bolton, John Holmes, David Hodgson, William Earle, Christopher Rawdon, and Thomas Booth, Esqrs. The Worshipful the MAvon said he would commence proceedings by reading a letter received from Mr. Rush ton. He expressed his regret that the Council had not increased Mr. Rushton's salary—a regret, he was sure, in which all present participated. Every member of the Council had spoken highly in his favour, and from first to last bore testimony to his great zeal m faithfully dis charging his duties. But although the Council, on public grounds, had declined to increase his salary, he should say that Mr. Rushton and his friends would not regret the discussion which had taken place on that occasion. The debate embraced, among other matter, the question whether Mr. Rushton would not be relieved, and the public convenience promoted, by the establishment of a second court. This was a point of so much importance, that he would but refer to it on the present occasion, and at some future time call a special meeting of the justices to consider it. The mayor then read as follows, Mr. Rushton's letter :--- "Sessions-house, Liverpool, Tan. 14th, 1846. GENTLEMEN,—T should not do justice to my feelings if I failed to express to you how highly I estimate the ap probation, which you have recorded of my conduct as a magistrate, and your approval of the manner in which the duties of my office have been discharged. The terms of the resolution passed at your meeting on the 10th day of November, conveyed to the council your opinion of my services ; and I assure you that I value that opinion more than the pecuniary reward which it was your object to ob tain. Though I fully appreciate the delicacy which pre vented Mr. Sands from consulting me before he made his motion, yet, if be had consulted me, I should have given him the opinionvbich, on more than one occasion, I have given to other magistrate; who have from time to time consulted me on the subject I should have told him, as I told them, thqt the application would be unsuccessful, and that it might possibly have the elTect of involving-a procescional moan in the unseemly struggle for higher gain than he was revering, whilst; with some persons, it might have a tendency to impair the moral force and iajluvnce of the office. I feel grateful to Mr. Sands for having relieved me from any personal connection with his motion ; and to him and to Mr. Adam Hodgson I . return most sincere acknowledgments for the anxiety which they have evinced to promote my welfare. Indeed, gentlemen, I feel this towards you all. I should have written this letter before if 1 had not desired carefully to avoid any appearance of personal participation in a discussion at fecting the emoluments of my office.. I shall in future discharge the duties of that office with more satisfaction, from the conviction that my exertions have secured fur me the confidence and respect of men like youraclves.•— With great respect, believe me, faithfully yours. " EDWARD RUSHTON." We are extremely glad to find from the Cork papers of Saturday, that the situation of the people in that neigh bourhood does not appear so distressing as it was, owing, probably, to the very liberal relief sent from this country. The letters in those papers are now devoted to the very important subject of cultivating the country. DESTITUTION.—At the great meeting of noblemen and gentlemen iu Dublin, on Thursday, referred to elsewhere, Mr. Dillon, who spoke as a landed proprietor in two of the west destitute districts of Ireland, Cork and Kerry, gave the following lamentable account of the eondition of the people ;---`.‘ 'Would to God that be had even the power to hold to their view a single family taken indiscriminately from the mountain; of Cork or Kerry ! - What a picture of desolation would be in that view. They would see the child once ruddy, healthy, and merry, changed now into a miserable and ghastly object, and in place of- the laugh once joyons and exhilirating, nothing could now be heard but groans and cries for bread—(sensation) They would. see the miserable father—once athletic, etrong. and in- 1 dustrious, now a perfect Skeleton ; no remnant of his fur-: mer strength remaining ; but still, even in his weakness, poseessing his desire for industry-Ahcar•) They would see the half famished mother sharing the nourishment which nature gave for her latest offspring with those of a larger grwth-e--(sensation.) Yee—thee scenes were to be daily witnessed—they were unhappily , but too general —in almost every dietriet in the places he had marod. these, and cases even more horrifying, were to he daily obrterred." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) THE IN6URRECPION IN PORTUGAL. (From the Second Edition of the Morning Herald.) The Madrid steam shiparrived this morning at Eouthampton from the Peninsula. She does not bring any news of great importance. The Queen's troops entered Coimbra on the sth inst., amidst great rejoicing._ Antas had evacuated Coimbra 4S h ours b e f ore, and retreated in the direction of Oporto. Before entering the town Ealdanha issued a proclamation, assuring the people they had no 'violence to fear from his sol diers. Saidanha was to march from Cc]mbra on the oth, and if Antas should not offer battle at Velma, he would reach the neighbourhood of Oporto about the 14th. Niacdonald's loss at Braga was about 200; the loss on the Queen's side is stated at from 30 to 120; Casal's men committed great atrocities at Braga, which has kindled a flame of indignation against him_ Nothing decisive had taken place at Oporto. Rebels were flock ing into the city in great numbers; the Miguelites have all joined them. Their forces at Oporto consisted of about 6300 men, and they show no disposition to flinch. LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY. At this day's market there was a fair show of English Wheat, which realised a further advance of Is. to 2s. over the currency of this day week. In free foreign there was a moderate extent of business done at a similar improvement. Floating cargoes of Indian Corn and IVheat near at hand in great request, but hardly any to be had, and for cargoes that will not arrive for two months, 2s. more per quarter is freely offered. A large snpply of foreign Barley, and a strong opinion gain ing ground that government will allow the use of sugar and molasses in breweries and distilleries, have quieted the trade, and but little progress could be made in sales without yielding to lower prices. Malt is dull to-day from a like cause. Beans and Peas Is. to 2s. dearer. The stocks of Oats are so much reduced, and in compara tively so few hands, that buyers were compelled to pay an ad vance of 2s. to 3s. pe; quarter. SMITHFIELI) CATTLE MA RIVET.-YESTERDAY. - - - The number of home-fed Beasts on oiler this morning were seasonably good, and of improved. quality. Prime Scots, &c. moved oft° readily, at a trifling advance, while the value of all other breeds was well supported. A good clearance was made. With Sheep we were scantily supplied. The trade was Cnn, at extreme currencies, the priciest old Downs readily produc ing ss. 2d. per Rib. C:lvcs moved off readily, at higher rates. The Pork trade was steady, and the currences had an upward tendency. MONEY MARKET.-YESTERDAY. The market for Public Securities has been — lei; agitated this tron - lng, and the operations have been only on a limited scale. The fa:_t seems to be that the leading speculators are refraining to-day from acting decidedly - until the Queen's spe ch a ppears to-morrow, from the tone of which they will direct future ope rations. There are many idle rumours circulating on the sub ject that are not worth repeating. THE EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY. Yesterday, the annual meeting of tl.is charity was hOd at the Clarendon-rooms. The proceeding on the whole were highly interesting. The President, EDMUND MoLyNEcx, Esq. presided, and said, he bad to congratulate the meeting that the institution had been removed to a much finer situation than that before occupied, (in Harford-street,) and he trusted they would be enabled to extend the sphere of their usefulness. The Corporation had liberally granted them a perpetual terse. Mr. HENRY CROSSFIF.LD, the treasurer, then read the re port of the committee, for 1846. It showed that the number of patients relieved, in both its branches, bad considerably ex ceed that of any preceding year, while there had been only a slight corresponding addition to the expenditure. The increase of eye and ear cases together, last year, over the number in 1E45, had been 327. The number of patients prescribed for (all of whom received the necessary dressings, medicines, &c.) had been 19,277—being an increase over the previous year of EO3. The daily average number of patients was 62 : in rue pre vious year it had been 51. The committee earnestly call the attention of proprietors of steam-boats, foundries, public works, Ike., to the advantages of the institution, no fewer than 333 mechanics from these establishments having sought relief from accidents to the eye during the last year, and been en abled to return to their employment. In purseance of a pre vious reeolutian, the committee had purchased the premises in Mount-pleasant, which had been conveyed to eight gentlemen (members) as trustees. The requisite alterations in the new premises had involved a rather greater expenditure than was anticipated, but the increased accommodation would enable them to carry out more fully the benevolent wishes of the subscribers. By the balance sheet it appeared, that on the general account was due to the treasurer, and that on the new premises' account, (including the purchase money of ,tl9OO, and the expenses of alterations, furniture, &c. , ) there was a debt due of .e 1274. The TR EAs trn ER, after reading these documents, stated that they so exWained the state of the institution, that little more need be added on that point. He might remark, however, that though the accounts, were at present against the institution, nothing Wit iznorance on the part of the public of its great benefits would prevent its full redemption and its ample sup port. No one could visit the institution, and w:tness the gra titude of the patients, and the delight of themselves and their relations on the restoration to sight, without the warmest feelings in its behalf. Were. the facts but known, he felt assured the public would come -forward and promote its use fulness. From what they had heard of the number of patients from public works, foundries, &c., he thought it would be well. to apply to the owners of those establishments. They were under great obligations to Mr. James Holme, who had kindly devoted touch of his time to the new infirmary, and to whom was, to a great extent, due the superiority of the present arrangements. Mr. H. NEILL, one of the medical oflicers, read a list of the 1 ! foundries, and other works, front which they had no fewer than 330 patients during the year. Some few of the owners of the works were subscribers. He gave a most interesting statement relative to the patients received into the house, or otherwise relieved, during the past year. Fifty-one had been admitted as in-patients, and carefully attended to until recovery. Amongst the cases Nvere many of peculiar interest; but, he dwelt, in order to save the time of the meeting, upon three of them only. The first was that of a young married woman, of twenty-three years of age, (wife of an industrious mechanic,) and of amiable disposition. She was about to become. a mother, and was greatly distressed at ker bereavement. She was, in fact, nearly ' broken-hearted, and was delighted when she heard the word "hope" pronounced. Mr. delighted ventured to operate with out delay, upon both her eyes, and she bore it well. She can now see, is in lively spirits, and looks with pleasure to the time when she shall be a happy mother. In cases of dis eases of the eye, the charity had never been so successful as in'l346. Three thousand 'five hundred and ten individuals, all suffering from disease more or less serious to the eyes, had been under treatment. The ear department had been equally effici ent. Last year, an old lad} called upon him. Site had been front infancy deaf upon one side, and for twenty years deaf upon the other. She could not hear a word. After an operation the old lady left, saving, "Do not speak so loud, Sir; I am not deaf !" Mr. Neill, it appeared, succeeded equally well in the case of a clergyman, who had long been deaf. and who is now restored to the social pleasures of the fireside, of which he was before deprived. Several other interesting cases were detailed by Mr. Neill, but we have not room to report them, and this is the less to be regretted, as they wid appear in the rwendis to the general Annual :report. (Inc of the cases (blindness) was that of Sarah Barlow, from Ilawarden, who was recommended by our present Alayor anti his lady. In this instance an artifi cial pupil was curiously formed and the light admitted. Mr. Neill's statement was listened to with great interest. The resolutions, which win be found in an advertisement, were then unanimously passed. llonsEsnoES.—/IOOSCSIJOeing was not Practi se d f or many c2nturies a ft er th e h orse hi mse lf was i n very genera l use ; nor were hoof-protectors essentially necessary until paved tracts they were in old hard roads became more frequent than horse seems old times.

A police - oilicer stated that he found the prisoner in the streets, shivering mid apparently dying from exhaustion. The officer, commisserating his ease, took him home oil simplied him with food, when he recovered, and was set forward on the way to his lodgings. Soon afterwards the attention of the officer was called to a party who was lying on some steps, apparently sutleang from exhaustion, and on going to the spot be found it was the prisoner, whom he bad relieved only a short time previously. He had obtained several sums frost persons by begging. The prisoner was taken into custody, and on scarehing him 275. was found in his liockets. Mr. Rushton, who denounced his conduct in the strongest terms, committed the prisoner to gaol for one month, and ordered the money (amid upon him to be appropriated for his maintenance.
