TO CORRESPONDENTS. Rs ALDERSRY.—We are requested to contradict the state ment in the Mail, that the commissioner of the Liverpool District Court of Bankruptcy suspended the . operation of the cer tifi c ate in this case for six months. Ells Honour signed the certificate on Thursday last, and when confirmed it will take effect from that day. Mr. John Lowe, who complained last week of the incorrectness of our report of his recent application at the Police-court, must really exca.e the ins rtion of his lon g l e tt er . I n this second communication he says—" it is incorrect, inasmuch as it does not give the grounds upon which the application was made;" and yet he quotes our paragraph, wideh distinctly stated that the applicati n was made " on the ground of pet, jury in sustaining the charge." We cannot quibble with Lim about the " if" which lie says makes such a wonderful dif ference in the case ; and, with all due deference to his assumed knowledge of a reporter's duty, w • beg leave to assure him that we shall continue to pursue the straightforward course vvhi 1) we have evar pursued, without favour to any party, of giving what we think is material for the public information. We are really sorry for our correspondent " Homo," who is "peculiarly situated with a woman." It is a pity that it does not " suit her" to allow him to " hang up his hat" in her house; and establish a right, by marriage, to the regulation and enjoyment of her " ample means." It is certainly shock ing in her, after allowing him to " visit her twelve successive days," and giving him during all this time " breakfaAs. din ners, and suppers." to still refuse to marry." Perhaps; however, our correspondent has shewn himself a greater proficient in the use of a knife and fork than in the art of love-making. In any case, his insinuation, as to the lady's conduct towards him, is very wean and unmanly, and qui!e justifies the signature " Homo." which he adopts, and which a reference to any lexicon wit inform him means either a man or a woman, and may be applied to something in the human form which is neith , r. We would not advise him to "expose her to her friends and relatives." They might kick him ; and we should certainly not blame them. v% it h respect to the fact of the lady being " in his power," we don't be lieve it ; and our correspondent may therefore spare himself the shame of boasting of her pretended weakness, in thus placing her reputation at the mercy of a spoon and a scoun drel. Ely Eiberpool gPtanDarti. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1844. There is a certain degree of plausibility in the ar guments of the parties by whom the Railways Regu lation Bill of Mr. Gladstone is opposed ; but with out pledging ourselves to an approval of all the clauses, or all the principles, involved in that bill, the most objectionable of which may probably be got rid of in committee, we are yet heartily rejoiced to see the subject taken into the hands of govern ment. It is, and has long been to us, an ob ject of no light consideration to see growing up around us a system, protected in the exclusive pri vileges which the legislature has con erred upon it, and practically exercising a monopoly which time may render almost intolerable; operating to pro duce vast changes over the whole face of the em pire; in one place throwing back once-thriving and busy towns and districts into comparative abandon ment and distress, and in another causing new hives of active industry to spring up as by enchantment; and all this without any superior control being exer cised by the state which has created it, to prevent an injurious and oppressive exercise of the great powers which it possesses, for good as for evil. Long ago, the state might have stepped in, advan tageously, with its claim of a dii ecting and super vising right ; and at the present moment, when a capital of 70 or 80 millions has already been em barked in the erection of a property in whose proper management the public are largely interested, and capital of twice that amount is preparing to be simi larly invested, the duty of government so to in- terfere has become, we submit, imperative. We are quite ready to admit the expediency and justice of proper respect being paid by any govern ment to the vested or prescriptive rights of all classes, even the humblest classes of the people; and hence we recognise it as right that the bill be fore us should not bear about it the character of an ex post facto measure. If we have erred, in first setting up the railway system in Great Britain as one of monopoly, we have no right to visit the con sequences of our own remissness upon unfortunate proprietors. Such a delicacy, however, may easily be pushed too far. We may refuse to interfere actively between the public and established compa nies, notwithstanding proved exactions, and want of consideration for the public convenience and ad vantage ; but, if we do this, we are surely bound to withdraw some of those difficulties, (with which we have hedged round those established companies, and which constitute the essence of their privilege of monopoly,) and permit other parties to step in and afford us those facilities which they withhold. In plain terms, if established companies refuse either to consult the public convenience or to per mit legislative interference with their management, we are bound, in justice to ourselves, to place re strictions upon the power which they possess of obstructing, by expensive opposition in Parliament ary committees, the efforts of others to supply what they refuse. An instance of the exercise, or, rather, abuse, of this power, is before us, in the case of the recent disagreement between the Grand Junction and the London and Birmingham Companies. These two leviathans of the railway world split upon the sub ject of the support which each was affording to newly-projected lines, which were said to interfere with the prosperity of the other. And how was the dispute at length arranged ? Why, by the ratifica tion of terms something like the following :—viz., firstly, the formation of an alliance, offensive and defensive, between them, against all competing lines; secondly, a transfer of all benefit to arise from the proposed Holyhead Line to the London and Birmingham Company ; thirdly, an arrange ment that the proposed Shrewsbury Line was to be in abeyance for the present, but was ultimately to be carried out by the Grand Junction Company; fourthly, that the Trent Valley Line was to be pro secuted upon the plan originally proposed; and, lastly, that the Grand Junction were to withdraw their support from the London and York scheme. Here, then, we have two great companies, with whose affairs Government dare not at present even propose to interfere, usurping the powers of Parlia ment, arranging what line of railway is to be prose cuted and what to be left "in abeyance"; dictating what tract of country is to be left without a railway, and what is to be favoured with their permission to possess such a boon. The Holyhead Railway may be formed ; but it must be made tributary to the pockets of the London and Birmingham proprie tary; the people of Shrewsbury are to wait upon the sublime pleasure of both companies. The Val ley of the Trent is to be supplied with its railway, which will not materially interfere with London and Birmingham dividends ; the " London and York Direct Line" is to be discouraged, because it will so interfere! We must protest against the justice of this kind of dictation (for to such it amounts)—this parcelling out of the country as if it were their own—on the part of companies who object to all kind of interfe rence with themselves. What is it but to say to the public, " You shall not compel us to carry cheap ; and yet we will use your own money to pre vent you, by our Parliamentary and other influence, from procuring cheapness from other quarters " ? We set out, however, with giving in our adhesion to the abstract justice and truth of a great portion of the arguments offered against Mr. Gladstone's bill. We admit such justice ; we want to see it administered. It is urged that free competition will regulate ultimately the price, and compel the com fort of railway travelling ; b ut we want to see a little of such competition. We cannot admit that y parti cu l ar li ne be cause a company has got hold of an of country, we are to have no other line formed —no " competing line !" We cannot, above all, agree to the principle that any line, which (because form e d previously to the present session) objects to super. vision, should be permitted to oppose in committee another proposed line, offering greater advantage of cheapness or accommodation to the public. Let such established lines voluntarily submit themselves to the regulations of the Board of Trade, provide good accommodation at reasonable fares, and, above all, establish third class trains for the use of poor travellers, and we should then admit them to possess a full locus standi as petitioners against any new and rival project which, in the absence of overpowering necessity, interfered with their profitable working ; hut, until this course is taken, we would have little heed given by the legislature to any arguments of fered by them against competing lines, and every en couragement afforded, by the relaxing of those for mal sort of difficulties which are created by the standing orders of both houses, to undertakings which promise convenience to the public at fair rates. It is urged, however, by some companies, in ob jection to the establishment of third-class trains and the providing of increased accommodation for se cond-class passengers, that " the shabby rich" would thenceforth avail themselves of facilities pro vided for their humbler fellow-countrymen. Be it so. The shabby rich, as it is, do sometimes perpe trate very mean things—drive very wretched cattle in still more wretched drags; but the deserving and industrious poor should scarcely be punished for their meannesses. Because gentlemen drive white chapels, we are not to be told to put down butchers' carts. Because noblemen and millionaires occa sionally descend to encase themselves with fustian, and sport gossamers instead of beavers, we are not to be asked to place a ban upon the " barragan" jacket and the " four-and-nine" of the honest me chanic. This plea of " the shabby rich" will not do. Depend upon it, Gentlemen of Railway Direc tions, since John Bull has consented to see the face of England converted into a sort of gridiron, he will insist (in exchange for the sacrifice of the free-and easy style of old-fashioned travelling, by the old fashioned Tally-hos and Highflyers) upon the cheap ness of the substitute. We would not, moreover, have you imagine that he will find much difficulty in carrying his point, if you once tempt him to set about it in earnest. We have thought ourselves justified, on several occasions during the present session of parliament, in remarking upon the anti-protestant spirit in which the measures of Sir Robert Peel's govern. ment, as affecting both England and Ireland, appear to have been conceived; but it has been reserved for the close of the session to see that spirit openly and boastfully paraded, and the intimation given, at the same time, of further measures, similarly dictated, with which we are to be visited next year. Our readers will perhaps pardon us if, as a supplement to what we have said upon the subject of the past legislation of our Conservative (0 government, we endeavour to convey to them the future blessings which are in store for them, as disclosed in the pro ceedings of the House of Commons on Friday last. In the first place, it is sufficiently certain that we may prepare ourselves for the erection and mainte nance, at the national cost, of a new Popish Univer sity in Ireland, if not also for the destruction of the Protestant character of the present University of Trinity College, Dublin, by the admission therein of Roman Catholics to scholarships and fellowships, or the foundation of new ones, (where the existing charters forbid such appropriation,) for the benefit of Roman Catholics. Upon this subject, in reply to a proposition thrown out by Mr. Wyse, on Fri day night, Sir Robert Peel volunteered the follow ing (to Popery) highly satisfactory assurance : "with respect to that other and equally important subject to which the honourable gentleman has called our attention, I have the satisfaction of assuring him that it is a subject which has occupied the serious consideration of her Majesty's government." Good We are to have it at all events—Popish M. A.'s, B. A.'s, Popish scholarships and fellowships, estab liehed at the cost of this Protestant country ! But, with respect to the particular scheme—":he honour able gentleman must excuse me if, on this occasion, I purposely forbear entering into detail. It is not be cause 1 am not prepared to express an opinion on the subject" (of course !)—" it is not because lam not prepared to enter into detail ; but it being impossible in the course of the present session to submit any practical measure on the subject, it is infinitely better that I should avoid altogether entering into details which must be stated, if stated now, many months before any practical measure can be introduced;" and which details would interfere with the present favorite " thunderclap" mode of introducin : 4 mea sures, to be hurried into laws, bdure either parlia ment or the country have time to estimate fully their enormity. So much, then, for the certainty of a new Popish University ! With respect, however, to the principle on which the general education of the people of Ireland is in future to he conducted, Sir Robert is still more ex plicit. Having already raised the sum contributed for the maintenance of the present national, or Bible-excluding system of education in that country, from fifty thousand to seventy-five thousand a year, he remarks, in objection to any grant in support of the schools of the Church Education Society, that "her Majesty's government had not been inclined to propose a vote of money to the Established Church system in Ireland, because they found that by so doing they would be practically creating three different sys tems of education in one country—A ROMAN CATHO LIC SYSTEM, a system in connexion with the _Estab lished Church, and, no doubt, a Presbyterian system, which would also be demanded." We like the ad mission here made that the " national " system of education, at present existing in Ireland, and sup ported by a grant of £75,000 a year, is " A ROMAN CATHOLIC SYSTEM." Coming from such high authority, the appropriateness of the term can never be disputed! But the objection of Sir Robert to the principle of supporting three different systems of education, is exquisitely significant of ministerial intentions. " The effect of this would be that the youth of Ireland would be brought up under different systems, and that that union which it was so desireable to promote amongst the subjects of her Majesty in that country, would not be promoted." Surely a consistent carry ing out of this principle, (that, to insure this "desir able union," there should be but one system of education, and that a "ROMAN CATHOLIC SYS TEM") would fully justify the speedy destruction of what Sir Robert Peel, already well indoctrinated with the opinions of liberalism and of Popery, is perhaps now prepared to designate as a " nuisance," the Established Protestant Church of England in Ire land ! Why tolerate longer such a church, when we are so sedulously educating the youth of Ireland, its future members, under an alien—a "ROMAN CATHOLIC SYSTEM ?" From one portion of Sir Robert Peel's remarks on Friday, we might possibly gather some en couragement, were we not aware of the character of the man ; and had we not, from some other portions of that speech, a somewhat unfavourable notion of his intentions towards us. Sir Robert Peel is dissatisfied with the state of Maynooth. The government feels that "it is not now in a satisfactory state." So are we. It is now a nest of uncleanness; but we fear that it is not that circumstance with which Sir Robert is dissatisfied. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LIVERPOOL QUARTER SESSIONS. The July . Sessions for this borough commenced yester day, at the Crown Court House, before Gilbert Hender son, Esq., the Recorder. There were in the calendar the names of 66 prisoners for felony, and of 12 for misde meanour. With the exception of two or three cases, the offences were not of an aggravated character, and it will be seen that the learned chairman, in his charge, congra tulated the jury on the decrease of crime as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. The following gentlemen were sworn of THE GRAND JURY: James G. Carter, Netherfield-road, distiller, (foreman.) G. Beale Brown, Exchange-alley North, merchant. H. Cleaver Chapman, Shaw-street, merchant. Edward Challinor, Sefton-street, timber merchant. C. William Fosberry, Everton-terrace, merchant. John Grantham, Everton-road, ironfounder. Joshua Heap, North John -street, broker. William Huson, Jamaica -street, broker. William Lindsay, Rn.common-street, merchant. James Lister, Great Mersey-street, banker. Francis Maxwell, Fenwick-street. corn merchant. Charles W. Neuman. jun., Tithebarn-Areet, merchant. Joseph Parton, Exchange buildings, broker. James Powell, Grove-street, merchant. Thomas Priestly, George's Dock-gates, merchant. Charles E. Rawlins, Blackburn-place, merchant. James Stitt, n, iron merchant. James Tvrer, Old Church-yard, merchant. Henry Whittaker, Rumford-street, broker. The proclamation against vice and immorality being read by the Town-clerk, The RECORDER briefly addressed the grand jury. He stated in effect that in the cases that would be brought be fore them it would be their duty to examine them tho roughly, and to weigh the evidence in such a manner as to enable them to decide whether there were safe and suffi cient grounds for conviction on trial; and if twelve of them considered that the testimony offered came up to that standard, they would return tru- bills, so that those cases would come before the court ; but if it fell short of that standard, they would, of course, in such cases, super sede the necessity of further proceedings. Some of the cases, and some only, would require their particular atten tion. One of them related to a robbery of three £lOO - from a bank. Another related to a linen-draper's shop which was broken into by an aperture in the wall, and sundry articles carried off. Another case was that in which the cash-box of a publican had been broken open, and money to a considerable amount carried off. These were the chief cases involving any great amount of a pe cuniary nature. In another case, it appeared that two men had entered a house by means of a skel'ton key, and, being watched, two others were taken outside, supposed to be implicated. None of the property was found upon them ; but if it appeared from the evidence that either of them got possession of any article, and removed it so that it could be conveniently taken away, —or, in the language of the law, removed it from "the space" which it pre viously occupied,with that intent, and that the others wete there to aid and abet in the intended theft, they must be all considered as combined to perpetrate the felony, and accordingly be sent for trial. He was happy to remark that the calendar showed that the amount of crime was a considerable degree less than over the same period last year. It might be supposed that this arose from the the greater preventive vigilance of the police force ; but it more probably was the result of the greater quantity of employment at our docks, warehouses, &c., aad, if so, exhibited in a manner worthy of much consideration the intimate connection between poverty and crime. This should never be lost sight of, so that (as we understood him to imply) employment should be freely given where it was possible ; and, if it became necessary to punish the evil-doers, to restore the offender, if the temptations and nature of the case admitted of it, to his true position in society.—The grand jury then retired to their duties. The Recorder, on the counsel taking their seats, stated to them thet he should alter the system hitherto pursued with regard to costs in cases of appeal under the poor law—following the example of the recorder of Leeds and other places. As a general rule the party who lost the appeal should pay the coat of the party who was success ful. But though he should adopt this as the general rule, the court would still be at liberty to award costs to each party in particular cases which demanded the exercise of such a discretion. Mr. JAMES then app'ied to the Recorder for leave to appropriate a portion of the money found on the prisoner, Francis Trappes, (committed on a charge of having stolen three £lOO notes,) to meet the expense of his defence. A considerable sum was, he said, found in his possession when apprehended ; and it was not supposed to be any portion of the money connected with the offence. The RECORDER decided that Mr. James should renew the application when the counsel for the prosecution appeared in court. A true bill having been found against Mary M`Guire, a servant girl of 23 years of age, for stealing 40 sovereigns and some trinkets, the prisoner was brought to the bar, and pleaded guilty to taking 35 sovereigns, alleging (as we understood her) that another party had some connec tion with the offence, which she deeply regretted ; stating that it was her first, and pleading, with tears in her eyes, to be mercifully dealt with. The Recorder called up the prosecutrix (her mistress), and finding from her prisoner had not previously been guilty of anything serious, and that her former master, had he been enabled to be pre sent, would probably have spoken in her behalf, he sen tenced her to three months,' imprisonment only—the last fortnight solitary—in order to give her a chance of amend ment. The prisoner, who at first thought from the word " transportation" being used in the Recorder's address to her, that she was to be sent beyond the seas, expressed her great thankfulness for the lenity shown to her, and was removed. The trials throughout the day were of very slight importance. The following were the sentences : _ _ _ s, Seven Years Transportation.—William Smith, aged 19, for stealing clothing at two different daces. NI illiam Dodd, 20, f,r stealing lead. Both old offenders. Nine Months Imprisonment and Hard Labour.—Ann Thompson, )9, stealing a watch. Three Months.—John Holmes, 22. stealing 17 sove reigns and other monies. Samuel Wade, 27, stealing 471 b of cotton waste. Two Months.—Edward Jones, 44, stealing 471 b of cot ton waste. One Monlh.—Mary Connolly, 28, for stealing from her maser sundry articles of clothing, &c. The other prisoners tried yesterday, and found guilty, were sentenced to imprisonment for various terms, from ten days to six weeks. THE FUNDS : SATURDAY NIGHT. The value of English secur.ties has rather improved. although busi ness was necessarily limited from the early closing of the markets. Consols for money and the account left off at 994 to 1 ; Bank Stock, 1991 to 200; Escheciner-bills. 765. to 78s. premium ; India Bonds, 95 to 96 premium ; I dia Stock. 2854 to 2864 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 1091 to 1; Three-and-half per Cents. Reduced, 1024 to 103; and New Three•and-aHalf per Cents. Reduced, 102, to 4. The foreign stocks were in some instances flat, though in others prices remained steadily supported. Spanish Five per Cents. declined to 23 to 4; and the Tt.ree per Cents. to 331 to 4, in consequence of sales. Belgian closed 1031 to 1044; Brazilian, 83 to 84 ; Buenos Ayres. 34 to 36 ; (Milian, 103 to 105 ; Colotrbian, 134 to 14; Danish, 884 to 894; Dutch Two•and-a-Half per Cents.. 614 to 62 ; the Five per Cents., 1011 to 4 ; Mexi can, 354 to 364; the Deferred, 154 to 164; Peruvian, 26 to 27 ; and Portuguese, 45 to 46. BANK OF ENGLAND.—In Friday's Gazette we had the return of the quarterly average of the weekly liabilities and assets of the Bank of England, from the 20th of April to the 13th instant, both inclusive. The following are the results compared with the three months from the 23d of March to the 15th of J une ;--The circulation is diminished by £Bl,OOO. being the difference between £21,246,000 and £21,327,000; the deposits are increased by £494,000, being the difference between £13,977,000 and £13,483,000, making the total of the liabilities £35,223,000. The se curities are increased by £555,000, being the difference between £22,471,000 and £21,916,000; the bullion has decreased by £123,000, being the difference between £15,767,000 and £15,900,000; and making the total of the assets £38,238,000. Th e surplus or rest increased by £9,000, being the difference between £3,015,000 and £3,006,000. THE WEATHER, &c.—We have during the past week had some heavy and welcome showers, which have greatly improved the appearance of the country. The wheat in these districts is still very promising. and the spring-sown grain is advancing almost beyond expectation. The tur nip crops, particularly Swedes, have also greatly revived from the depression of the long drought at the early part of the season, and we have seen one large field, which then appeared to be very feeble, in which the plants are already of a large size—promising a luxuriant crop. Some after-grass in rich fields has already been cut, and the autumn yield will probably go far to make the de ficiency of the first. The last two days in particular have been glorious summer," the atmosphere being un usually clear, and the rays of the sun vary powerful. Sunday was the warmest day we have had this season (so far as we remember) taking it as a whole. The thermo meter, in the shade, stood at 75°, and yesterday, (though it felt apparently quite as warm) a t 73°. Up to the time of our writing, (eight o'clock last night) although there was no outward appearance of rain or thunder—usual after such heat—the barometer was falling and stood at about 30°, and the hygrometer was also dropping—having fallen from 8° to 4? in the four hours. OPENING OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, OXTON.—A short time since, the spirited inhabitants of the now beautiful locality of Oxton raised a sum of money for the building of a church, and on Sunday last the edifice was opened for divine worship, under license from the Bishop of the diocese. The Rev. Joshua King, rector of Woodchurch, officiated, and took his text from the 20th chapter of Isaiah, 6th and 7th verses. After an excellent and suit able discourse, he dwelt upon the truthful doctrines of the established church, and the evils of dissent, in a manner which—however accordant with the vow he took at his ordination, and with the Scriptures—appears (ac cording to a contemporary) to have given some umbrage to the few latitudinarians present. It appears from what we can learn, that he hit them very hard and very pro perly ; but they seem to be like the offending soldier when under the lash, who cried out to the drummer to hit a little higher, and then a little lower, and, though obeyed, was mightily displeased with the infliction in any way. The same paper, however, concludes his remarks on the new church in the following rather friendly man ner :—" There are a number of free sittings for the poor, and we understand it is contemplated to establish schools in connexion with the church. The parishioners are much indebted to their highly -respected churchwarden, Mr. a. W. Godwin, for his indefatigable exertions in carrying out the wishes of the committee, and bringing to a com pletion the arrangements for the feting up and opening of this sacred edifice." INTENDED MERSEY YACHT CLUB. We learn that it is the intention of the yachtmen on our river, and other gentlemen favourable to, and inter ested in, nautical affairs and improvements, to establish a Yacht Club on the Mersey, something similar to that on the Thames, for the purpose of promoting yacht-sailing and yacht-building. The Thames Yacht Club, which may be considered the parent of the river clubs, has, from a small beginning, risen to its present important position, and is now a source of great pleasure and gratification to the original promoters as well as to the vast numbers con nected with the institution—so fully have their exertions been crowned with success. There all parties unite in one social feeling to further the object of the society. It is to be hoped that a similar institution for the same purpose, and conducted on the same principles, (which have for many years stood the test of experience,) will meet with due encourag . ement from the pubic spirit of the second great sea-p or t in the world. We have already many fine yachts on our river, sufficient to form into a club; and, no doubt, when this society once gets to work in a properly organized manner, other parties will be in duced to build, so that we may soon see a fine "fleet" to contend for the prizes given by the club. There are many beautiful little craft on the Thames of about ten tons bur then (and even under), and these, together with the yachts of larger tonnage, afford excellent, healthful, and, we may add, safe recreation to the admirers of yacht-sailing. We hope soon to see a few of the former size added to the pre sent number of our large vessels of that cla,s, which h,..ve already become an ornament to our noble river. Those gentlemen who have yachts on the river will, we trust, unite to promote the undertaking, as without their aid, and the due enforcement of proper regulations, the public generally cannot be expected to give the society their support. It has been acknowledged in both houses of parliament that the naval and mercantile interests of this country are much indebted to the yachtmen of England for the expe riments they have made, and the improvements they have effected, in the building, general construction, and ma nagement of their vessels, with a view to swift sailing ; and so well aware is the government of this fact, that, with allrhe immediate oppor tutritieswithin theirown reach, they have given, as a further means of promoting the naval greatness of our country, the most fostering encou ragement to the fine science of yacht-sailing. No country c an furnish so large a flea of vessels of this description as Great Britain, and this alone is truly cha racteriAic of a nation possessing the greatest " naval" and maritime resources in the world. Her yachts only —vessels merely used for swift sailing and pleasure on our rivers, estuaries, and coasts—would, if all combined, form a very powerful fleet, well entitled to be dignified by the name of " squadron." The recreation itself is highly national, manly, and healthful, and, moreover, beneficial in keeping up the spirit of our youth who aspire to be the defenders, on that element so especially subject to our en terprise, of our national honour and integrity. We understand that the funds of the club about to be instituted are, after paying the current expenses, to be ap propriated to the purchase of cups and other prizes, to be sailed for in matches by the yachts cla-sed within a stated tonnage. And as order and regularity are the main-stay of such a society, we doubt not but that when we have a well organised club belonging to our river, the officers ap pointed will be enabled to make such arrangements and regulations for sailing and (should their patronage he re quested) rowing matches, as shall effectually prevent the recurrence of those accidents that unhappily sometimes attend aquatic sports, and throw a damp upon those in vigorating recreations. From what we can learn their motto will be " stout vessels and stout hearts," and they will discourage all adventures on our somewhat perilous river or offing, that may by possibility involve a loss of human life. As in the Thames Club, they purpose to solicit the sup port—by a small annual subscription only—of their towns men at large, and while they hope to receive the encou ragement of the wealthy, and especially of our " merchant princes" and ship-owners, they will receive with equal cordiality and respect the names and contributions of the middle classes who may be favourable to the object they have in view, which it is not too much to assume is not only blameless but patriotic. THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK BILL AND MR. M A LLABY. We do not feel ourselves at all compelled to enter fur ther into this matter. Our statement of last week is be fore the world, unimpeached in its facts, and from that the public will form its opinion. In fairness, however, to Mr. Mallaby, we volunteer the following palliations of his conduct from the Mercury and the Journal. The editors of the former paper, who, by the bye, state that they could without difficulty " place their hands" upon " the correspondent" who penned the remarks in our last, (a circumstance which would certainly surprise us, as we are not aware of having any such kind "corres pondent,") concede, in their column of twaddle that, "it may at once be admitted that it would have been much better had the promoters, or their agent, souqht to make the Admiralty and the association clearly understand the uature of the alterations made"—an opinion in which we perfectly coincide. It would have been much bet ter ; and possibly the promoters and their agent now think so too. The second apologist. the Journal, remarks, that " Mr. Mallaby m•y have been wanting in etiquette toward. Mr. North, in not communicating with him." May have been I How trippingly the admission comes from the pen of our contemporary. Mr. Mallaby may have been guilty of a breach of professional " etiquette " to wards Mr. North ! - - Really all this kind of excuse is sad trash; and the wort feature in it is the evident wish to throw dirt at Mr. John North. The question, however, is not one be tween the promoters of the bill and Mr. North, or any other indieiduol. It is not a question whether it would have been " better "—whether it would have been more in accordance with the rules of " etiquette"—for the pro moters to hove fairly carried out the terms of their writ ten agreement. It is a question whether the interests of the shipowners of the port have been fairly represented before the legislature, and, if not, on whose shoulders the blame of such omission ought to rest. Our own statement, and that of our contemporaries, is now public, and our readers must form their own opinion en the subject.

PROGRESS OF THE •KING OF SAXONY.—In our last Publication we noticed his M , jesty's visit to the Theatre Royal, on the eve of his departure from our town—wish the civilities and commercial attractions of which, we be lieve, he had reason to express himself highly gratified. His Maj , s'y started from t he Railway Station on Tuesday morning, at a quarter before nine o'clock, and arrived at Manchester at a quarter past ten—being at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. He was accompanied by his suite who attended him here. From the Manchester Rail way Station he proceeded direct to the works of Sharp Brothers, machine-makers, Bridgewater-street, and ap peared to be much interested in the mechanical opera tions. While there, Mr. Leisler and Bechtel, of the house of Messrs. Du Fay and Co., merchants, in whose posses sion were letters for his suite, waited on his Majesty, by whom they were very graciously received. These gentle men conducted the king to the establishment of Mr. Lewis Schwabe, silk manufacturer, Portland-street, where his Majesty was much gratified with an inspection of the patent embroidering machines, &c. He afterwards visited some other manufactories; but the king having fixed to quit Manchester for York, by the Manchester and Leeds railway, and it now being nearly three, his Majesty was conducted to the Union Club House, I'dos ley-street, where he lunched with his suite. The king, attended by Baron de Gersdorff, and the Mayor and mu nicipal officers proceeded thence to the station, where a considerable concourse had assembled, who, however, properly respected his incognito, opening into an avenue to permit him to pass, and merely exhibiting silent re spect.—On Wednesday evening the king again paid a visit to this town.—On Thursday afternoon the king and suite arrived at the station house, Lancaster, where a number of respectible inhabitants had assembled" to see," (says a Lancaster paper,) "a sovereign, who, if he does not rule over a nation so vast as that of the Emperor of Russia, walks amongst his fellow-men ; a monarch who does honour to the Majesty of mind." He walked with hi suite down King-street, and taking two small carriages proceeded directly to the Castle, where the governor, Captain Hansbrow, showed him every portion of the gaol he desired to see. On seeing the treadmill he enquired if its power were put to any useful purpose, and when told it raised water, and turned a set of weaving looms, he ex pressed bis satisfaction. He went up to John O'Gaunt's Chair, and as the day was extremely fine, the scene was one of sublimity and splendour. His Majesty looked upon the bright waters of Morecambe Bay, with the dark blue hills of Westmoreland and Cumberland, lowering in the distance for awhile in silent admiration, and then ex &Aimed, "it is grand"—" it is beautiful." He after wards inspected the courts, passed an eulogium 011 the picture of "the good old King," and pronounced the Shire-hall to be one of the finest courts in Europe. The veteran, Sergeant Ramsey, of the 42d Highlanders, made the salute of the Saxon and German soldiers as his Majesty passed him. This his Majesty quickly observed, and returned by taking off his hat and bowing graciously to the old soldier. He soon afterwards proceeded north ward with his suite in two carriages and four.—Same af ternoon his Majesty arrived at Milnthorpe, direct from Lancaster, and after changing horses proceeded on to Levens Hall, where they were shown through the beauti ful gardens and grounds. After slight refreshment at the hall, the royal party took a drive through the park, round by Force Forge, and back to Levens Bridge ; thence up Crosthwaite and Lyth, to Bowness—the nearest and most picturesque approach to the Lakes—his Majesty through out expressing his high admiration of the beauty and di versity of the scenery. THE WIZARD OF THE NORTH.—This astounding pro fessor of the black art, is favouring the people of Liver pool, with a few more nights before his departure to St. Petersburgh. Those who have not visited him already, ought at once to do so. His tricks are really the best we ever witnessed.

Amongst the numerous vessels loading at this port for all parts of the globe, there is one lying in the Trafalgar Dock, just on the eve of departure upon a most interest ing mission. She is a small steam vessel, named the Ethiope, destined for Western Africa, to attempt the for mation of commercial intercourse with the interior of that benighted continent by the annual ascent of the Niger and other principal rivers, and through these means to prepare the way for the introduction , of civilization. The proposal has recently been laid before the public, in a pamphlet, by Robt. Jamieson, Esq., of this town, who it will be recollected, pointed out with but too much of prophetic accuracy, the errors which led to the deplorable results of the late Government expedition—and who has undertaken to test the probability of establishing such an intercourse, by a three year's prosecution of the enter prise, upon the faith of a guarantee fund being subscribed to cover that excess of outlay over returns which may be expected at the commencement of intercourse with a people who have not yet felt the stimulus of commercial demand—and who cannot, therefore, be expected to pos sess in the first instance, any considerable quantity of surplus productions. Mr. Jamieson bases the enterprise however, on the principle, that if a regular demand be kept up, the natives will be stimulated by it to habits of industry, and will thus have every succeeding year a greater amount of produce to excl•ange for European merchandise—until the intercourse becomes extensive, maturely beneficial, and lasting. It is intended that art account of ricers ascended, of towns visited, and of trade transacted. shall be printed and circulated annually among the subscribers. Subscriptions to the Guarantee Fund have been com menced in London—and wet eg to direct the attention of our townsmen to an enterprise of so much interest, and to invite for it the co-operation of all who desire for /Utica the amelioration that would flow from an increased intercourse with the civilized world. It will be observed that copies of Mr. Jamieson's Pamphlet may be obtained from that gentleman on ap plication. From an advertizement in another column it will be seen that a meeting is about to be held for the promotion of the views of Mr. Jamieson, which we trust will be at tended by all parties interested, commercially, or from philanthropic motives, in the welfare of Africa. It is a noble and spirited effort which that gentleman is making, to introduce to European intercourse, and future civhz ation, an entire people, hitherto supposed to be at once inaccessible and intractable, and we know of no man more likely, by his energy and past experience, to ensure the success of such an effort. He ought not, however, to have thrown upon him the entire cost of an undertaking so arduous. ; and we trust that the merchants of Liverpool will not hang back from the duty of supporting him. COURT OF CHANCERY-SATuRDAy. PICKFORD V. THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. When this appeal cause was called on, his lordship ex pressed a hope that it would not occupy so much time as it had taken in the court below, where he understood that the hearing of one side had occupied six days. They were now at a late period of the sittings, and they had just finished an argument on a lunatic petition, which lasted several days. Mr. Stuart believed that much time had been consumed below in reading a mass of correspondence with which it was not now intended to trouble the court. Mr. Bethell took an objection to the hearing of the ap peal in its present form. There was a bill and supple. mental bill, and the other side proposed to mix up new matter arising out of the supplemental bill with the dis cussion on the original bill. The Lord Chancellor thought that if these things related to one and the same matter of contest, there did not ap pear to be much objection to the use of them, but his lordship again intimated a hope that no unnecessary to pics would be introduced. After counsel for the appellant had been heard, his lordship said he would hear the company's counsel on Monday (yesterday). OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.— On Saturday, a young man, a kind of shipping agent, was brought before Mr. Rushton, on a carge of having obtained divers small sums of money under false pretences. Mr. Commissioner Dowling said that the prisoner had got money from thirty or forty la bourers, upon pretences that he could ship them on board certain vessels in the docks for the island of Ichaboe, where they would be employed in digging guano and putting it on board, and that after paying him ls. (or more in some cases) the parties found that they could find no such vessels—some of them not being known, and others having lett the port. Several of the sufferers by his conduct were examined; but (from the cunning manner in which the prisonel had acted towards them,) the evidence was not technically sufficient, and Mr. Rushton advised the parties to apply to the Court of Requests for a restitution of their money. The prisoner said he was ready to repay them. Mr. Rushton said if he did not the men must apply to the commissioner. The prisoner was then discharged, and was followed out of court by a large number of the poor fellows who brought the charges. TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN.—We understand that a number of the ladies of the Rodney-street congre gation have recently presented their e,teemed pastor, the Rev. John Tod Brown, with a superb inkstand, in token of the respect they entertain for his private character, and with the view, especially, of denoting their grateful appreciation of his zealous ministerial labours. Such presentations must uniformly he regarded as creditable alike to the donors and the recipient ; and when it is con sidered that, notwithstanding the shortness of the period which has elapsed since the reverend gentleman has been located in his present charge, this is not the first expres sion of good-will with which he has been greeted by an admiring congregation, we feel gratified in stripping the remark of its general character, end bringing it to bear with the force of special application as respects the grati fying occurrence to which it has ben our privilege to call attention. We take the liberty of offering our own con gratulations to the reverend gentleman upon his having so speedily and successfully secured to himself the affections of his people ; and we conclude by expressing our best wishes for, and confident anticipations of, irosperity to the church over the spiritual interests of whose members he presides, notwithstanding the agitation in which it has been recently involved, and the rancour with which its best friends and truest interests have been temporarily assailed. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO HENRY LYLE, ESQ.—OR Wednesday last this amiable young gentleman attended a large dinner party, given by the Rev. Knox Homan, at Downhill. Atter dinner, he pro ceeded, accompanied by young Mr. Orr, of Millburn, round the rocks. On passing the " Teather-stake rock" his foot slipped, and he was precipitated, from one pro jection to another, into the sea beneath. On being taken out of the water, he was removed to the hotel on the strand, and medical aid was immediately sent for, but life was extinct. There was a lane fracture of the skull on the back part of the head, which occasioned death; his left hand was dreadfully nnutil.ited, and the wrist shattered ; and both bones of his left leg broken. The deceased was the third living son of Hugh Lyle, Esq., J. P. ' Knockin. tern, and was se7enteen years of age. tie had but lately come home on a visit from Woolwich, where he had been studying for a cadetcy in the Artillery. Our readers, and the congregation of Christ Church in particular, will sympathise with the family of the young man, whose melancholy death is recorded in the above paragraph, when we mention him as the youngest brother of the lady of the Rev. Fielding Ould, of this town, who, with her family, is at present spending a few weeks with her friends in Ireland. " SHAVING THE LADIES. " —On Thursday last, a case was brought before the magistrate at Worship-street police-office, in the course of which some evidence transpired, descriptive of the practices of a certain class of shopkeepers, which we feel bound to offer for the in formation and warning of those of our fair readers who are fond of " cheap shops" and " bargains." It appears that there is a custom universal amongst linen drapers in the metropolis, though we know not it the practice is re sorted to elsewhere, of allowing to their shopmen a cer tain per cenia3e, or premium upon all goods sold by them at the full price; which premiums are paid upon presen tation of a note signed by the seller and a witness. In the case in question, a young man was brought up charged with having obtained from his employer more than he was entitled to, by having forged or falsified such notes; and, in the course of the examination, the solicitor for the prisoner inquired of the witness for the prosecuting shopkeeper whether there was not a practice amongst per sons in his business, called " shaving the ladies." The witness with evident annoyance and great reluctance ad mitted that there was ; and, on being called upcn to ex plain, did so by saying that " when a lady canoe into a shop to purchase an article, such as a scarf or a shawl, it was the shopman's practice to use all his arts of persua sion upon the lady to induce her to give a higher price than the article was marked : if he succeeded, he was en titled to a fourth of whatever he could obtain above the value of the article; if he did not ha got nothing. Thus if a scarf had on it the private shopmark of 305., and he could talk the lady into giving 345. for it, he was entitled to Is. for himself, and was considered to have 'shaved the lady' "—or, as plain people would say, swindled the lady. Perhaps this may explain to some of our fair readers the cause of that intrusive and often annoying pertinacity, with which they are urged in some of our shops to pur athaed chase articles, "decidedly cheap," " great s acrifices, rc slightest t bargains," ideaa r g a i o n f s , b " u y w i n h g i c . h not W th a ey ne h e a d d saa such a practice, as is here brought to light, o i n s the part moral in its tendencies, and dishonest, both master s , and not be lowed fair remuneration by their a ay by extortion driven thus to eke out their insufficient p and fraud upon the unwary.

The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Forth, Caps Chapman, arrived at Southampton, on Friday evening , soon atter seven o'clock, bringing all the mails. She s it brings on freight 301 ounces ot bullion, 121 ounces of to dust, 604 ounces of sil ver , 177 ounces o f pl a ti n a, and pounds of gold. Her dates of departure are—from Cuba the 18th of June, Jamaica, 23d, Jacmel 25th, Porto Rico 27thr St" Thomas's 30th, and Fayal 13th of July. The pap,rs reach to the 23d ult. from Jamaica. spd from the other islands to a corresponding date. The'., however, scarcely contain a fact worth extract. The w citement occasioned by the news of the reduction of thC duties in favour of free.labour sugar had not in the last subsided, and this packet brings over a variety of petitioal and memorials addressed by the planters to the bonss government on the subject. Most of the islands had perienced rain, and in Demerara the quantity which hsd fallen would, it was feared, prove injurious to some dit tricts. Affairs continued in a disturbed state in Her' and Cuba, but vessels of war had been despatched to pre" tect British life and property. Thomas, the convicted officer of the Colonial Bank a t Barbadoes, had effec'ed h's escape from a station-hoaser where he was confined pro tern. under an order from the • surgeon. He left the island the same night in a fishing' boat, and there seems no doubt but the matter was PI: concerted. The disturbances at Dominica had entire" subsided, and the prison ers t a k en were : . b out to be moil_ by a special commission appointed by the Governor I ° l that purpose. BRAZIL. The advices received from Brazil, on Saturday, 811 ; nouncing the dissolution of the Chambers have excite' considerable interest in the mercantile circles. It ins t . well understood that if the new ministers were not AO to overcome the opposition in the Chamber of Deputies! dissolutiol would be had recourse to ; but for some wesk i t before the commencement of the session it was suppO they had succeeded in softening down asperities, and that they would obtain the support of a majority. It now pears, however, that they have been disappointed in this expectation, which will render their future policy le" certain until after the elections have taken place. It does not appear from the papers received that BO thing has been done respecting the new tariff, and as tha chambers will not again meet until after the expiration of the commercial treaty with this country in November, the matter must be left in the hands of the executive govern. ment. The commercial accounts possess very little in' terest otherwise. THE WRIT OF ERROR.-It is generally expected that, in the course of the present week, judgment will be giver( in the case of the Queen v. O'Connell and others. A deputation, consisting of Mr. W. R. Collett, M.P. , G. C. Glyn, and Alderman Thompson, M.P.. had an ill' terview with Sir Robert Peel, on Saturday, on the sub• ject of the Chester and Holyhead Railway.

THE LIBERATOR.—The Liberator, although not e saint, is now a candidate f o r th e h ig h est h onours ei martyrdom, and accordingly in lieu of the £2OOO a week , he has resolved to send, to borrow the American phrase' ology, his `image' to all the liberal mayors in Ireland , and more particularly to our own mayor, who is especi ally honoured by the notice of the martyr. who has coo ferred the distinction of sending him one, with an epistle that cannot fail to be admired for its studied simplicitir although meant to produce effect.—Limerick paper. H ONGKONG.—A police force is about to be established by Government at Hongkong. Mr. May, the son o f the active chief superintendent of metropolitan police, Of who is himself inspect o r o f th e K di vis i on, i s appoin t ed to the command of the whole force, with a salary of .£suu per annum. He will be assisted by two sergeants, at pre" sent in the K division, who will have £250 per a nnuls each. We believe it is not intended to take out any cell' stables, as the force will be easily organised at Hongkong. It is intended to raise the force from the military and rill" rines at present in China. ROYAL AMP H ITH EATRE.—The superiority of the sent company over any that has a pp eare d at this pre for a considerable time is beginnin g t o b e appr eciated by the public, as shown by the incre as i ng au di enc es.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On Thursday morning the 11th instant, at daybreak, one of the pilots of SC. Ives went to the head to look - out for vessels, arid on ar riving there he was surprised by the sound of distress from some person near him. He looked around, and shortly saw iadistinctly a figure in the water, when 1 0 took to be a naked body of a man. He ran instantly t 0 call his comrades, who were in bed, but came immedi• ately, and they launched their beat and rowed in the di' rection where Vie object had been seen. It had drifted ! considerable distance from the spot where it was firs' observed, but after a short time they found a young woman floating on her back in the water and alive. Thai of course brought her speedily to land, and after soni c time, by the treatment of Mr. Samuel Hocking, surge° n ; she was su ffi ciently restored to give an account of he' . self. She was a servant at one of the shops in the town' and had become pregnant by some one whose name sil e would not disclose. Her pregnancy had lately been sti,c pected by the persons with whom she lived, and to WWI the disgrace of its confirmation, she unhappily atternif_: to drown herself. She went into the water at the brea k water point, and drifted around thl head, a distance o f rather more than a quarter of a mile, and could not ha been in the water less than an hour.
