THE CREDITORS who have proved their debts unde r a fiat in Bankruptcy awarded and issued forth against CHARLES HEN ER, of Liverpool, in the county of Lan caster, Hotel-keeper, dealer and chapman, are requested to meet the Assignees of the estate and effects of the said bank rupt, on the FOURTH day of AUGUST next, at Eleven o'clock in the forenoon, at the Clarendon-rooms, in South John street, in Liverpool aforesaid, in order to assent to or dissent from the Assignees paying out of the estate and effects of the said bankrupt certain costs, charges, and expenses, w hi c h were incurred by the Petitioning Creditors, with reference to the said bankrupt's affairs, prior to the issuing of the said fiat, the nature, particulars, and amount of which will be explained at the said meeting ; and also to assent to, con firm, ratify, and allow, or to dissent from and disallow, any other payments, acts, matters, or things of any nature or kind soever, which have heretofore been done, transacted, or performed by the Provisional Assignee, or by the said Assignees or any of them, which shall be submitted to them at the said meeting. j PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu -0 • larly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to the undermentioned selection of Preparations, compound ed at his Laboratory, a trial of any of which will convince the most sceptical of their decided superiority. THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses tht advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &n. trout the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal vir•'ies of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation. PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS. Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu racy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, hare of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. VEGETABLE HAIR OIL Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft ness of texture and luxuriant appearance. Sold in Bottles at ls. 3d. and 3s. each. VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER A pleasant Tonic Tooth Powder, which simply removes all tartarous incrustations from the enamel ; and by its peculiar properties preserves that necessary covering. —Sold in Boxes, 2s. 6d.

CORNS, BUNIONS, &c THE Difficulty of procuring a Remedy that is really bene ficial in eradicating those painfully hard, and callous substances called CORNS, has been long felt by the Public. The Proprietor of the ANTI-CALLOSITY or RUSSIAN CORN AND BUNION PLAISTER, feels great confidencce in recommending it as the mist certain cure for all Callous Swellings on the Feet, that has ever yet been invented- By the use of this Plaister immediate Benefit will be four 1, and in a short time a Radical Cure will be effected, not by cut ting, (which is generally attended with Danger,) but by gra dually dispersing the Hard or Soft Corn, and entirely removing tnose painful throbbings so severely felt at every Change of Weather.

A FACT FOR SPORTS3tEN.-011 the Ist of July, as Mr. Graham Stirling, of Strowan, was on bis way to fish in the pond at Drummond Castle, and when within the Deer Park, he flushed a brood of young woodcocks. Three of them flew over the park fence ; the old one fluttered along the ground, and picked up one smaller than the rest iu her claws. r. Stirling put her up three different times, in order that might be certain of the fact. The fourth time the o ld bird dropped the young one close to the paling, among some ferns, where it could not be found. This is a curious fact in ' natural history, as it has been hitherto' held that these birds do not breed inScotland.—Gidagow Courier. UNITED TATES On Wednesday morning, at three o'clock, the Columbia steam, ship, Captain Judkins, arrived here from Boston and Halifax, having sailed from the former port on the afternoon of the Ist instant, and the latter on the 3d, so that She has made the passage from Boston to this port in twelve days and a half. She has brought 110 passengers. She brings New York papers to the 30th ult., but their contents are unimportant. The House of Representatives resumed on the 2:ith ult., th e cons id erat i on o f t h e mo dified resolution . which had been p rev i ous l y o ff ere d b y Mr. Floyd, of New York, respecting the conduct of the General Government, in reference to the case of M`Leod " Resolved,— That the President of the United States be equested to inform this House, whether any officer of the army, or the Attorney-General of the United States, has, since the 4th of March last, been directed to visit the state of New York for any purpose connected with the imprison ment on trial of Alexander M`Leod : and whether, by any executive measures or correspondence, the British govern ment has been given to understand that Mr. M`Leod will be released or surrendered; and if so, to communicate to this House copies of the instructions to, and report of, such officer." A short debate followed, when the motion that the reso lution do lie on the table, was lost by 103 against 51. The consideration of the resolution will, therefore, be resumed the horn The remains of General Harrison had been removed from the Congressional Burial-ground to the banks of the Ohio. The strongest demonstrations of respect were paid to the relics in every district through which they passed. No alteration of consequence took plaCe . iu the New York money or steel:-market in the interval between the sailing of the Garrick and the Columbia. In exchange the business done for the packets had not been extensive. The bills on London ranged from 1051 to 1081. The shares in the Bank of the United States were quoted at at New York on the 30th at 18;:l ; and at Philadelphia, on the 29th, at 19, and at 191 for opening. The agents of the State of Illinois had arranged for the payment of the interest on their bonds. Negotiations were in progress for the amount to be paid for the interest on those of the State of Indiana, and it was believed an ar rangement would he completed in time. The State of Georgia had promptly met its interest, and had even paid off a part of the principal in specie. A house largely concerned in the French trade had failed in Philadelphia. The cotton-market had become firmer, and extensive sales had been made. The news from Canada is unimportant. The address in reply to the Governor-General was carried by a majority of 5-1 to 51, but on the subsequent division the supporters of the government were in a minority of 15. It was rumoured that a union had taken place amongst the parties represented by Sir Allan ill 'Nab, Mr. Neilson, and Mr. Aylwin. The Orbit, from Cork, with troops, arrived at Quebec on the 23d The late elections in Canada are disputed to nearly the extent of one out of every three; from the number of peti— tions already presented, the house will be occupied for some time in determining as to who are elected. TILE NEW MINISTRY The general conviction of the immediate advent of a con scrvative government has naturally occasioned a good deal of speculation amongst the quid annex; those amateur states men and politicians whom the universal circulation of news papers has generated. Many lists of the probable members of the conservative administration have been handed about, of course no reliance can be placed upon such statements ; but a London correspondent of the Edinbnrgh Evening Post puts forth the following as the personnel of Sir Robert Peel's administration with a great degree of confidence : First Lord of the Treasury and Sir Robert Peel. Chancellor of the Exchequer. Secretary forthe Home Department, Earl of Abei - deen. ForeignDepartment,Duke of Wellington. Colonial Affairs Lord Stanley. Lord Chancellor First Lord of Admiralty President of the Council President of the Board of Control Lord Ellenborough. Lord Privy Seal Lord Wharncliffe. President of Board of Trade Lord Ashburnham. Paymaster of the Forces Sir Edward Knatchbull. Duchy of Lancaster Earl De Grey. Secretary at War Mr. Herries. Postmaster-General Duke of Buckingham. Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. Goulburn. Lord Steward Earl of Roden. Lord Chaniberlain Earl of Liverpool. Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Lord Chancellor of Ireland Secretary for Ireland Master-General of Ordnance .. Sir Henry Hardinge. Master of the Mint Vice-President of Board of Tiade Attorney-General . Solicitor-General Lord Advocate Sir William Rae. Solicitor-General for Scotland .... Mr. Duncan M`Neill. The weather, during the past week, has been very unset tled, and the hay harvest has in consequence been consider ably retarded ; still there has been a good deal of hay housed in excellent condition. A savage mob, on Tuesday, entered the apartment of an elderly and infirm gentleman, in Meath-street, Dublin, named Craddock, a retired officer of the 41st regiment. This gentleman, who is upwards of seventy years old, they found on a bed of sickness, and having commanded him to rise forthwith and proceed to the hustings, they, upon his pleading inability to move, fractured his skull in two places with brick bats, and the unfortunate sufferer is now in hospital, where his death is every moment expected.—The above gentleman has since died.—Packet. APPROACHING ROYAL VISITS.—We understand her Ma jesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert are likely to honour the Earl and Countess Cowper with their company, at Passanger, as early as next week, and it is said the Queen and her illustrious consort have been pleased to accept an invitation from the Duke and Duchess of Bedford to pass a few days at Woburn Abbey, Beds, where preparations have already commenced for the reception of a distinguished and numerous circle. It is rumoured that the Marquis and Mar • chioness of Westminster will, in all probability, be honoured by the presence of the Queen and his Royal Highness at Moor Park, the noble marquis's delightful residence at Rick mansworth.—Record. The Earl of Cardigan was ballotted for as a member of the Senior United Service Club on Tuesday. There were 28 white and 163 black halls ; in all, 194 ballotted. The noble earl was therefore rejected, and the consequence is, that he cannot be again proposed a member for ten years. It so hap pens that the other candidates—among them the major of the eleventh hussars—were all admitted. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—We under stand that the note of suspension and interdict presented by the Edinburgh committee of directors, against certain reso lutions of the general meeting of shareholders of the Ed inburgh and Glasgow Railway Company held in February last, was some time ago passed by Lord Ivory ; and that in a note to the interlocutor his lordship expressed a decided opinion, that these resolutions were a clear evasion of the act of parliament incorporating the company. The board of di rectors having reclaimed to the second division of the court, their lordships, on Thursday, after hearing counsel on four different days, pronounced an unanimous judgment, adher ing to Lord Ivory's interlocutor, and refusing the reclaiming note.—Edinburgh Evening Post. It is confidently stated that the conservatives mean still to try to oust Lord John Russell and Alderman Wood from the city, on the ground that the polling books of some particular ward were wholly kept back at the election for party pur poses. It is moreover rumoured that Lord John Russell is to be pitchforked into the House of Peers. TIIE CORN LAWS.—Who has spoken in favour of the ministerial measure for the repeal of the corn laws anywhere in Ireland ? We shall be answered that Mr. Daniel O'Con nell has, in Dublin, given the full value of his grand reputa tion to' the abuse of those laws in his most venerable of Bil lingsgate; but that will not count for much. Has anybody else dared to do it elsewhere than in the foul purlieus in which that foul animal is allowed to grunt and wallow ? No body, from the top of Lough Swilly to the bottom of Cape Clear. The Irish elections will be almost over before these observations of ours arrive in their land, and what we can say on the subject of the corn laws cannot have any elec tioneering effect, if our power of persuasion were ten thou sand fold the force of what we can flatter ourselves that we possess ; but we may request that those who next canvass a liberal Irish constituency, will be so good as to info' m those whose votes they are desirous of obtaining, what is to be the effect of a repeal of the English corn laws on a corn-export ing country like Ireland, whose best, or in fact only customer is England, should foreign corn be admitted into the English market? We can answer in one word —BEGGARY ! Ox DIT.—We understand the marriage of Lord John Russell, and the beautiful daughter of the Earl of Minto, takes place at Minto House, about the 20th of the present month CANVASSING ON THE MOORS. — "Feyther," said a far mer's strapping wench, on his return last week from Roch dale market to his sheep farm in the moors of Spotland, " Feyther, there's bin a felley beer sin' yo' wen'n off this mornin'." " Well, an' wot did. lie want ?" asked the farmer. " Want !—he sed he wanted yo'r suff'rin's for a member o' Parliament." " The dule he did ?—but yo' gan him none I gewse?" " Nowe, mi mother sed we hadno' one i'th' heawse, for yo'd'n ta'en 'em o'to Roby Bank, at Ratchda'." " Well, an' wot sed he then ?" " Sed !—he set up a gurd o' laighin' az iv he'd ha' brasted, till I leet th' dogg lose, an' then he ran like owd Nick ; but he laaft bwoth cwot laps be'ind him."—Manchester Chronicle. DRUNK AND SOBER.—We saw a hog lying in the gutter the other day ; and in the opposite one was a well-dressed man (I) Tne first had a ring in his nose—the latter a ring on his finger. The man was drunk—the hog was sober. " A hog is known by the company he keeps," thought we— and so is a man—and so off we went. —Scotch Paper. TRIBUTE or RESPECT.—On Monday evening, a party of gentlemen met at Watson's Hotel, for the purpose of pre senting Mr. William Robinson,of this town, with a silver snuff-box, as a testimonial of their regard and esteem. The box is a very massive one, and bears the following inscrip tion :—" Presented to Mr. William Robinson, Professor of Music, as a tribute of respect by a few friends, on the com pletion of his first years's services as organist of the Parish Church. Blackburn, July 1, 1841."—Blackburn Gazette. MESSRS. MACAULAY AND GIBSON-CRAIG IN DANGER. —The question is generally discussed whether these gentle men are the duly elected members for Edinburgh, or whether Messrs. Thompson and Lowery, the chartists, are not legally entitled to that honour. It is clear from the terms of the Reform act that, in the event of the show of hands being taken, and a poll demanded by the candidates in the minority, the poll is imperatively enjoined—" it shall take place," as the act says. In this case, however, one of the chartist can didates, and the proposer and seconder of the other expressed their desire that no poll should take place : but it was then too late. The Sheriff had only one duty to perform—to comply with the terms of the act, which left him no alterna tive, but to proceed to the poll, in order to test the show of hands. The mover and seconder of a candidate—even the candidate himself—has no power to withdraw, after his name is fairly in the hands of the electors. if these views be correct, the Edinburgh election was determined by the show of hands, and, therefore, Colonel Thompson and M r. Lowery are legally our representatives. Whether they will take the necessary steps to establish their right to this dignity remains to be seen.— Scottish Standard. DEATH OF ROBERT ALLAN, RENFREWSHIRE POET.— This ingenious man, who was born and reared in the village of Kilbarchan, left this country for America in the month of April last, and only survived seven days after his arrival at New York. He enjoyed good health, and was in high spirits during the passage, till the vessel (Clutha) came to the banks of Newfoundland, and the weather being cold and foggy, he caught from the change a severe illness, which termi nated in fever. His interment was respectably conducted by a number of his countrymen, with a few of the American P e e s o t p e l c f, who from the peculiarity of his mournful case, mani lowin,,azsh to display their regard for his remains by fol lowing ago, The same conta i t: the lie tomb, Hewas sixtv-six years of age. volume of poetry which he published in Glasgow a few theme of much many excellent songs, which became the and a larger volunelsra4F pieces, praise.leaving his It was a collection of his more gen tlee elaborate productions for another. of printing eitheirel?

The conservatives have, up to the present time, achieved an anntitted gain of 2 to 1 over their opponents, their gain being 72, and that of the liberals 36. This of itself is quite sufficient to give Sir It. Peel a decisive majority, but in order to show the cheering aspect of affairs, we subjoin the follow ing statement of the gross returns, as made up to Tuesday ev ening, which appeared in the leading government journal of yesterday. This return at once proves that the wing mi nisters are " done for."— English boroughs Ditto counties . Ireland .. . Scotland .. . Conservatives. Liberals • 166 176 • 129 .. 22 • 30 .. 33 • 20 .. 28 Conservative returns Deduct liberal returns Gross conservative majority 86 But the above account shows only a return of 604 members to the new parliament, leaving 54 still to be returned. Now, even allowing the liberals to have the benefit of the whole of these 54 members, what would be the result of the election ? Why, that the conservatives would have a majority of at least 32 votes ! The numbers would then be as follow :—Conser vatives, 315; liberals, 313; conservative majority—Thirty- two i But will the liberals obtain even 25 out of the above 54 members ? Even allowing them two-thirds, which would give the liberals 36, and the conservatives 18 members, the result would be as follows : Conservatives returned Liberals returned hitherto. hitherto. 345 .. • • • • 259 Add .. • • • • 26 18 .• Majority 68 This latter result is most likely to be the correct one.

Let their act according to the advice of their leader, and—register . register ! reglsterl THE COUNTY ELECTIONS LORD MORPETII AND LORD 110 WICK (From the London Times.). The results of the struggle which has just been brought to a clOse in the Lnglish counties are most setisfactory. Twenty-four seats (reckoning one in Glamorganshire, in con sequence of Mr. Talbot's declared adhesion to the Conser vative; cause) have been wrested from the Whigs, and only one has been lost to the Constitutional party. Every contest in which the Conservatives have been engaged has ended in victory, except in the four counties of Flint, East Cumber land, South Durham, and North Lincolnshire. In Flintshire Mr. Mostyn prevailed by a majority of only 34, and was in debted for his success entirely to the calumnies with which his supporters had for some time past been undermining the personal popularity of the late excellent member. In East Cumberland the result of the poll, though favourable to the former members, furnished the most incontestable proofs of an immense Conservative re-action having taken place within the last four years, In 1837 Mr. James's majority over Sir J. Graham was 519 ; now the same gentleman has very narrowly escaped a defeat, bein g elected by a majo r ity of o n ly 85 over Captain Stephenson. In South Durham the whigs have been backed by the vast territorial influence of the houses of Raby and Lambton, and in North Lincolnshire by that of the Earl of Yarborough, which, for the time being, ha's proved to be irresistible. With these slight exceptions, the conservatives have succeeded everywhere. Candidates who announced themselves scarcely in time for the day of nomination have been triumphantly returned, and in almost every in stance the amount of the majorities has been great beyond all previous example. In Lord Morpeth we acknowledge a generous enemy. We cannot say • _ _ " that very frankly be confessed his treasons, Implored the peoples pardon and set forth A deep repentance •" yet we readily admit that, politically speaking, " Nothing in his life Became him like the leaving it ;". and that not the less, because he did not " Die As one that had been studied in death, To throw away the. dearest thing he owed, As 'twere a careless trifle." " I come before you," said he to the electors of the West Riding, " in the order duly assigned to me as the lowest on the poll. lam the last person, and it would be the last.ob ject I could have in view to aim at dissembling the magni tude of the triumph which our opponents have wrested from us. On the contrary, I clearly think it the most signal and the most decisive which has yet been attached to the car of Conservative reaction." And then, after paying a graceful compliment to his successful opponent, Mr. Wortley, he continued thus:—" In transferring my late position into his more fortunate hands, I cannot dissemble the price and splendour of the pearl. I have been too fond of it, too proud of it, for that.' , And again :—" The public questions at issue constitute, of course, the really important part of such a transaction as the present. With respect to them also, I cannot fail to be sensible of the grave and intimate bearing which the decision of this great constituency may have, the present conjuncture of affairs, upon the concerns of finance, trade, and commerce." We wish we could transcribe the whole of this excellent and amiable speech, which elicited well-merited applause from opponents as well as friends. The noble Lord candidly admitted that the verdict of the West Riding, and some of the more important towns in it (such as Bradford and Leeds), had been unfavourable to the measures of Her Majesty's Ministers ; and while be still professed his confidence in the ultimate prevalence of the principles which he had advocated, he nevertheless spoke kindly and generously of his adversa ries in the hour of their success : he confessed the poignancy of his own disappointment, by declaring that " he thought he could not reconcile himself for the present to occupy any other seat or represent any other men ; ' and yet concluded with a general expression of benevolence and benediction to all present. It is due to such a man as this to say, that, great as his political obliquities may have been, much as he has been, mixed up with that O'Connellite pitch which no one can touch without being defiled, and impossible as it therefore was for us to speak favourable or even in tolerant terms of his public character, we ourselves, and all the conservative party, have uniformly telt sincere respect for his many ami able personal qualities, and unquestionable honour and inte grity in private life. It has been a singular and most unfor tunate caprice of fortune, that of all the whig statesmen, Lord Morpeth, the man of most generous disposition, and most cultivated mind, should have been forced into the clos est political liaison with the coarse and ruffiaulike leader of the Irish democracy. When we consider the personal ad vantages with which the noble lord could not fail to enter on his recent contest against almost any antagonist, we are more strongly than ever impressed with the importance, in a public point of view, of the decision to which the constituency of the West Riding has come. Very different has been the tone and bearing of the re jected of North Northumberland, and very different are our feelings towards him. Furious with rage and mortification, Lord Howick's deportment upon the hustings, at the decla ration of the poll, was like that of the dying rattlesnake dart ing out its venomous tongue with fatal malignity against its destroyers. " He was not," he said, " one whit abashed or cast down by this defeat; on the contrary, be did think that there was much in the result on which he had a right to be proud. When he considered the circum stances of this contest—when he considered the sudden manner in which the opposition had been got up—a sud denness of which he had already complained, and of which he now repeated his complaint, because when Mr. Cresswell told them that he had put the simple question to this county, whether he (Lord Howick) did or did not possess the confi dence of the electors, that he had accepted the challenge, that he had had a fair trial, and that the decision was against him—when Mr. Cresswell stated this, he begged to inform him that he was totally mistaken." Such being the general result, and it being now ascertained that the elections for England and Wales have ended in giving the conservatives a clear balance of 111 seats, our attention is again directed to two particular victories—those for the West Riding of Yorkshire and North Northumber land. We recur to them, not so much for the purpose of renewing the expression of our joy at these great conquests, as for the sake of contrasting the manner in which the ver dict of the electorate has been received by the ejected Whigs in each of those important counties. THE MINISTRY AND THE ELECTIONS, (Firm the Morning Herald.) The game is drawing to a close, and the issue is no longer a matter of speculation. Even the Globe abandons to Sir Robert Peel a majority exceeding 50. " Say that the Libe rals," quoth our petulant adversary in his penultimate hour of official assumption, " who will become the opposition, number 300 strong—a minority formidable in numerical force, and more so by their union, and the clearly defined objects for which they enter parliament to contend." A few weeks ago a minority known to be 320 strong, was a mere faction in the eyes of the Globe ; and if ministers could count noses against their opponents, even with the help of the Speaker's, it would have been trumpeted as a tory defeat, upon the " happy-come-lucky" principle, that " a miss is as good as a mile." But the new opposition will be strong, forsooth, in their " union," and "in their well-defined objects." We doubt it. There are seeds of di4organization in them as a party, which, unless you can pitch nature out of the human bosom with a pitchfork, cannot be smothered—and, if smo thered to-day, it will only be to syring up more rank to mon ow. Naturarn expellas furca, tamen usque recurret. The party is split into two sections. The whig (aristocrat) section have " well-defined objects"—place, power, patron age, and being about the court. To the radical (plebian or democrat!c) section these objects are just as well defined as the spots in the sun to the naked eye. '1 he radical section is jea lous of the whig, and the whig section despises the radical; and, to make matters worse, each party is aware of the other's unamiable feeling. The radical section know, as well as a beggar knows the back door, that if they helped the whigs again into the royal palace, the whigs would not have the gra titude to introduce them as their very good friends ; and, sensible that their services to the whigs will never be sub stantially recognized, they will at least teach the whigs the value of them, by ever and anon withholding them. Strong by union ! Where, to constitute an effective union, there should be mutual regard, there is mutual dislike; where there should be a cohesive principle, there is a repulsive one ; where there should be affinity, there is aversion ! A com mon necessity alone could bring such strange bedfellows into company, Drily to disturb each other's repose ! Union to be strong must be cordial ; and is there any cordiality between the whig courtier and his radical ally ? It would be a nine day's wonder if Lord John Russell and Mr. Wakley were seen walking arm-in-arm down Parliament-street together. But all this by the way. The game, as we said, is drawing to a close ; and that the Whigs have already irretrievably lost it is evident, from their ill-humoured attempts to account for their defeat—just as a bad player, after losing a game at piquet, will give you twenty reasons why he ought to have won it. "The elections," says the Globe, " are sufficiently advanced towards their termination to warrant us in forming an estimate sufficiently accurate for the purposes of an in quiry into the causes of the losses sustained by the Liberals ;" and we are bound to admit that the Globe traces these losses to one of the strangest conspiracies against the rig . hts and liberties of a free people which history records, or which even the genius which made Rienzi, the tribune, to be knocked on the bead by his own adoring democracy, could conceive. This monstrous conspiracy, it seems, germinated originally from a most unnatural desire on the part of the Conserva tives to " regain an ascendancy in the House of Commons. (The italics are the Globe's, not ours.) How the Conserva tive party came to harbour an idea so abhorrent to all good Whigs, it would be a waste of time and space to discuss, be cause it is much more important to examine the instruments and the influence by which their purpose has been effected. First, the official authority tells us, " the clergyman, who is probably a magistrate," conspired against the Whigs, and, of course, without any reason, as the Whigs have showed as much love to the church as the gentleman, who shall be anenymons, is said to show to holy water ! Secondly, there was " the squire, who is, of course, a magistrate ;" and as the Whigs, by their tampering with the corn laws, would have only reduced his noble to ninepence this year, and next year probably his ninepence to nothing, he must be set down as equally per verse and ungrateful! Thirdly, there was the attorney, and fourthly the 6 ` apothecary," swayed, it appears, by the consideration that the Conservatives never refused to pay fees when they were due, or to take physic when it was necessary. Fifthly, there was " the old dowa ger , w h o su pports so many charities , but whose charities are smothered by the sin that she has not charity enough to support the poor-grinding Whigs ! Sixthly, there was the " parish clerk" —it is a pity the Globe did not say " and sexton too"—who is made a much more important personage, as a " w ell-instructed agent," than ever Lord Brougham conceived him to be, and who certainly ought to be henceforth a Whig w orld-without-end for the compliment. And, seventhly, there are the "farmers," and lastly, the " shopkeepers," all " effective in their vocations as active promoters of Toryism." why, Providence protect us ! Here is a combination with a vengeance—clergy, gen try, tradesmen, farmers, every class of the community, e ven including charitable ladies and sententious parish clerks, all banned together to have nothing to do with the Whig boons ! Was there ever, we repeat, such a monstro us conspiracy against the people—a conspiracy o f the whole body o f t h e people against themselves? We advise Lord John before he quits office to move for one more commission, a commission de lunatico inquirendo on the peo ple for rejecting the Whi gs. Lord Morpeth may be chairman, and such disengaged ge n _ tlemen as Mr. Joseph Hume, Sir Edward Bulwer, &c., would most appropriately fill up the quorum. THE SCOTTISH ELECTIONS.—Of the Scottish ele c ti ons that remain, we may state briefly that in Elginshire Major Bruce is certain of beating General Duff; the result, how ever, is not yet known in Edinburgh, as yesterday w as th e last day of polling. We hear that Lord Reidhaven is likely to recover Banffshire to the conservatives ; the polling takes place to-day and to-morrow. On the other hand we have heard doubts expressed as to the safety of Wigtonshire, in consequence of a recent large purchase by the liberal Lord Stair, of certain properties commanding a considerable num ber of votes, which will be thrown into the whig sca l e : the polling terminates to-day. The Whig candidate foi• Ork ney,ii Scotland, ca nnot will be returned without opposition. On the whole, then, the elections yet to take place n materially affect the general result. With regard to the yet undecided Irish elections, we think they are likely to prove favourable to the conservatives as against them.—Scottish Guardian. CHATHAM.—A petition will be presented to the House of Commons against the return of the honourable G. S. Bvng, complaining of the gross bribery which took place ,at and during the late election.

THE GREAT AGRICULTURAL MEETING To meet the wishes qf many of the readers of the • STANDARD, the Proprietors have determined upon presenting to their subscribers, and the purchasers of the paper, on FRIDAY, July 23d, a STAMPED SUPPLEMENT of Fourteen Columns, detailing, at the utmost possible length, and with the greatest accuracy and care, the whole of the proceedings of the week during the great epoch in the annals of agri culture. Every meeting will be reported most fully, and all incidents worth recording will be noticed. The STANDARD Supplement of this day will therefore afford a pleasing and faithful chronicle of an event which is causing great attention amongst those who are connected with the landed and farming interests, and it will prove useful as a reference at a future period. Persons at a distance requiring the STAN DARD on that day are requested to intimate their wish as soon as possible. To prevent disappointment, it is suggested that the amount for the paper, 5d., be remitted in postage stamps, in which case the applica tion will be duly attended to. The Country Agents will oblige us by iVormation, as early as possible, as to the number of papers they will require. To Advertisers, this opportunity of disseminating their addresses ought not to be lost sight of, especially all those who wish the attention of the agricultural in- terests to be drawn to them TO CORRESPONDENTS. We have received a long letter from Mr. 'William Lee, of Leeds, but its contents would not interest the public. The space we have at command can be better occupied than with any lengthened reply to the long and foolish article in the Mail of yesterday. There is one remark, however, which we cannot pass by. Thus speaks the Mail:—" Its," the STANDARD'S, " conductors know perfectly well that the compliment was intended for the Mail, and that by an error of the messenger alone was the request to send a reporter to KnutAford communicated to the STANDARD." The person who is here with such apparent sang froid styled " messenger," is a highly-respectable and wealthy gentleman, a member of the Conservative Committee for North Cheshire, and has been a subscriber to the STAN nAtti) for a considerable length of time. The talk about an " error" is therefore absurd. Well may the Mail ex claim, " let's have no more of this." Riberpoot g2,tanbartf. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY .16, 1841 The Liberals, seeing that the accession of the Con servatives to office is inevitable, try to console them selves with the conceit that Sir Robert Peel will not be supported by them with that cordiality or unanimity which is necessary to give stability to his government ; but we expect that they will find themselves in error, and that it was their wish only that was father to the thought. We never recollect a time when there was more sincere and complete unanimity amongst Con servatives. than there is at this very moment, and for this we must acknowledge ourselves in some degree indebted—and, if we owe them nothing else, we must confess this—to the present disgraced incapables—tbe " shocking bad ministry"—of Lord Melbourne, Lord J. Russell, and others. They have made us unani mous. With such a ministry, but "no government," before our eyes, we could not choose but be unani mous, and we are agreed as one man that the nation will have a happy riddance of them. Nor is this all. We compare Lord Melbourne with Sir Robert and the Melbourne coterie with the probable colleagues of the new Premier—our experience of the one with our prospects under the other —we look " upon this picture, and on this"—and our unanimity, so far from being disturbed, rather increases in harmony and sweet ness—so that really all we have to fear is that so much harmony without any discord, so much sweet without any bitter, may require the introduction of some new ingredient to prevent it cloying, and to give it brisk- Our contemporary the Liverpool Times charges us of the Liverpool Standard with . an officious zeal—for such we would it call it, did really exist—an officious zeal, we say, to introduce discord, or administer the acid, among our brethren. " Our contemporary and his clerical friends," he says, " are certainly on the point of open rebellion against Sir Robert. It is quite unnecessary for them to tell us that they do not sympa thise with him. That is as clear as daylight, and we hope that it will soon be equally clear that he does not sympathise with them." Our clerical friends—and, we are happy to say, we have many of that venerated order—know best whe ther they are on the point of open rebellion against Sir Robert Peel, and can answer for themselves : for ourselves we disclaim having ever given "utterance to such an insinuation, or having entered into such a con spiracy. And, speaking for ourselves, we say that we earnestly and heartily desire to see Sir Robert Peel in office,—not surely that he may be the mark for a re bellion, and that injury might thereby be done not only to the Conservative cause, but to the nation,—but that his great talents, sound principles, and honest intents may be employed in the most available way for the service of both. It would be great presumption in us to attempt to speak for the Clergy of Liverpool, or for any portion of them, without their authority; but, so far as we know anything of their mind, we would ven ture to add that they concur with us entirely in this sentiment Throughout the entire of the elections we have not heard even of a whisper of dissent among Conserva tives. Radicalism challenged their condemnation, and Conservatism their support—both in their substantials and not in minor matters, and they acted broadly upon well understood principles. They were quite of one mind in their co-operation, and they are now about to reap the fruits in a glorious ,restoration and re-esta blishment of Conservative government. Is there any any Conservative averse to the anticipation of Sir Ro bert Peel being at the head of a new administration ? We do not believe that there is one —no, not a solitary individual. And now a word or two as to the occasion of which our liberal contemporary has taken advantage to prefer this ridiculous accusation against us. Having ad verted to the right honourable baronet's speech at Tamworth, we took the liberty of stating one or two points wherein we regretted that we could not coincide with the right honourable gentleman. Does it follow from this that we are on the point of rebellion, open or covert, against his administration ? Is a slight diffe rence of opinion so construed among the Radicals ? Amongst us it is quite allowed :—hanc veniam damns, petimusque vicissim. It would be very hard indeed if we could not be deemed good supporters of a minister unless we professed to agree with him in every point of his policy, past, present, or to come. Why, we gave the Whigs credit for some things, and yet nobody im puted Whiggery to us, in general, on that account; and on the same ground we claim the honour of mov ing with the great Conservative body which recognises Sir Robert Peel as its chief, and we assert its title to the characteristic of " unity," although there should be subjects, at present happily not in question, or such should hereafter arise, on which a difference of opinion might exist. Our liberal contemporary may derive comfort from this avowal, and " look out for squalls ;" but we would just tell him, that his anxiety to catch them will put us on our guard, and most likely have a similar effect on all who might feel inclined to press their own indivi dual opinions with an urgency capable of proving in any degree injurious to the general interest. In one particular our contemporary has conferred a favour upon us : he has obliged us with an admirable commentary and explanation of the phrase " moderate opinions," made use of by Sir Robert Peel, and which seemed to us to be a little obscure. He says : " As for our contemporary's inability to comprehend what is meant by " moderate opinions," if it is real, it only proves how completely he has sacrificed his common sense to his party. Under a constitution like that of England, into which the monarchic;il, the aristocratic, and the democratic principles all enter, but in which no one of them preponde rates, moderation in asserting the claims of all, without pushing any of them to excess, is the greatest evidence which can be afforded (If practical wisdom." We stand corrected. This is indeed admirable ; Sir Robert Peel could desire no more excellent exposition; he could scarcely have done it better himself. If such be the correct interpretation, we beg to recall all that we have said, and to express ourselves perfectly satis fied. From such moderation as our contemporary describes, and Sir R. Peel professes, who could pos sibly dissent ? "It is the greatest evidence," says our contemporary, "of practical wisdom." And surely we may well invite our contemporary himself to join us in admiring, and at an humble distance in following, that gifted statesman, who possesses to adopt it as his principle—who so eminently professes it in the attri butes of his mind and character, and has long steadily acted upon it, whether in or out of office. Our con_ temporary has done us a service by thus reducing the exception taken by us to a mere verbal dispute. What he calls moderate, we would call RIGHT ; that is the only difference between us,—our meanings are the same. We would say that the man who asserts " the claims of the monarchical, the aristocratic, and the de mocratic principles of our nicely balanced constitution without pushing any of theiu to excess, derate man, but a man of the right sort✓-- a wise man — a judicious man—an unexceptionable politician. This is just the kind of man we want ; and now that we have had this light thrown upon the subject, what remains but that we should unreservedly desire the promotion of Sir Robert Peel to the post he is so well qualified to fill ? A moderate minister must be in this sense of the term, a constitutional one, and we ask no more. " is not a mo- We return to Irish affairs. England, as we have said, is deeply interested in the subject, and there can be no better time for bestowing some thought upon it than just the present. A London contemporary goes back upon the evi dence given before a Committee of the House of Com mons in 1835, and gleans therefrom a number of very striking facts—(striking indeed in every sense of the term)—relative to the intimidation and undue influence used at the general elections in Ireland in 1832 and 1835, and concludes by saying, that bad as all these were, they were not worse, as he apprehends, than those which will have to be reported concerning this present general election of 1841. We believe he will prove but too correct in this conclusion. We have never heard or read of any thing more savage and un civil than the election doings only just completed, or still going on, at Cork, Waterford, Dublin, Clonmel, Carlow, and other places. We have now before us se veral letters from different parts of Ireland, which give a frightful picture of the brutal ferocity of the Popish party, and of the abominable yet noon-day outrages which they have- committed, and are still committing, on all who decline submission to their tyranny. Car low is at this moment not like, but actually, a town besieged. The different approaches, are guarded by artillery. It is held by troops amounting to two thou sand men, kept under arms, and on constant duty. It was surrounded at one time by a multitude variously armed, amounting, it was calculated, to at least sixty thousand. Some of them attempted to force the passes, but they retired upon the threat of being instantly fired upon. The town is saved from sack and spoil only by the great military force providentially collected upon the snot; and in all sobriety of language and of thought, we think we are authorised in calling this a state of siege. The merest passing stranger would be curious to know what has caused all this, and whether the Queen of England has no jurisdiction in this particular locality; and surely Englishmen have much more reason to search out the cause and feel concern about it. If Ire land were rightly governed, we ask, could such things be ? Is not the fault to be traced to the government, and the blame to be laid upon it? We say YES, and that if Englishmen did their duty, they would not per mit it. Under this word " government," we would certainly comprehend a great deal—we would include as well the laws by which the country is governed, as the administrators and administration of them. With this import of the term, we assert that there must be something most defective and radically wrong in the government of Ireland, when a general election produces in that country such a warlike exhibition, and such barbarous scenes as we have just had before our eyes. The thing in itself is sufficiently bad; but it is still worse as a _symptom—it is still more serious as the token of a state of society entirely deranged. This is an affair not of Whigs or tories—not of mere sects or parties, but of all order-loving Britons—and they ought to take the matter up as such. As good conservatives, we would particularly recommend the initiation of such a step to the conservative party, in order that Sir R. Peel may not be embarrassed by being abandoned as it were entirely to his own discretion, or unsupported in his government of Ireland. Meetings ought to be got up all over England, with a view to address the Queen and both Houses of Parliament, praying simply that such measures may be taken for the better rule and government of Ireland as may prevent the recur rence of such dangerous, alarming, and violent pro ceedings as have lately occurred therein, and may tend to give to that unhappy country a larger measure of tranquillity and order than it has ever yet enjoyed. The first inference necessarily to be drawn from the state of things to which we have adverted, is, that the Irish Romanists are not in a state to be entrusted with the privileges which they now possess ; or that there is a tyranny beyond the laws, which it is the imperative duty of the Queen's ministers to put down. If it should be thought that the former of these deductions would lead to no practical conclusion, then let us at tend to the latter, which cannot be gainsayed by any party. It is surely monstrous in a free country that a man should have a franchise which he . can only exercise at the hazard of his life, and that an election for a mem ber of parliament should subject any portion of the in habitants to a reign of terror in which brute force is the only efficient executive. What is the cause of these outbreaks ? What conduces to them ? Who are the leaders in them ? Now we want no parliamentary committee to answer these questions for us. It is written in such . legible characters, and posted on so many crossroads and highways in Ireland, that he that runs may read : it is given in these two words, " Popery" and the " Priests." Popery stands in the way of the people, and prevents them receiving in struction ; Popery interferes between them, and those who would he glad to serve and employ them ; Popery keeps them ignorant, and miserable, and inflames all their evil dispositions ; it makes them bad men and bad subjects. Emancipate the people . from Popery, and you will make Ireland the finest country in the world ; but if you cannot do that, liberate them at least from the physical tyranny—that imperium in imperio which it has been too long permitted to exercise, and in which it has been rather pampered than restrained by the legitimate authorities of the state. We shall be told, perhaps, that the trial has been made, and did not succeed—that Popery was too strong, and could not be put down. Our answer is, try it again —ay, and again —yea, never give up—" NO SURREN DER." Pull out its teeth, and pare its nails; tye up the monster. Send out all the Priests to Australia, and put them under the care of that curious chap Macono chie, at Norfolk island. He will reform them when every body else has given them up. What, is Irish Popery to beard the British lion, and frighten him too? We lose all patience with such stuff. And think not that you will disoblige the great mass of the Irish people. Be assured of it, that they will thank you most gratefully for such a favour. See how many Ro manists have stood true to Colonel Bruen—ay, at the peril of their lives, and in defiance of all the surpliced ruffians ! Think you that these men love the tyranny of Priests and agitators ? Surely not. Therefore, we say, put down the conspirators and their infamous Directory of rebellion and blood, and you will confer the greatest blessing upon the poor people, and they will thank you cordially for it. .We say in all serious ness and gravity, that we, the people of England, ought to take up this business, and prosecute it as an affair in which we have a large and substantial concern. The return of two Conservatives for the City of Waterford, is an unexpected gain from the sister isle ; and we are informed by a correspondent in that city, created a feeling of astonishment among the losing party, perfectly ludicrous in itself, and highly amusing to behold. The late members, Messrs. Wyse and Barren, did not entertain the most remote idea of an opposition on the very morning of election. No Con servative candidate had come forward, nor was the name of any mentioned. So perfectly sure were .the worthy ex's of being re-elected, as a matter of course, that triumphal seats were prepared for their chairing, the ribbons tried on, pretty devices arranged, and all things in readiness to give due exaltation and honour to the chosen representatives of Popery and Radical ism. A numerous assemblage of ladies elegantly attired, and plentifully bedecked with ribbons of the patriotic green, proceeded to the. Court-house to hear the speeches, to grace the ceremony, and be early in congratulating the fortunate M.P.'s on being declared " duly elected" without opposition. Some slight, some very slight, low, and almost insignificant whisper had certainly got afloat, that some malignant Tory or other entertainedm foolish design of giving a little momentary annoyance ; but it had only the effect of making the cortege of Messrs. Wyse and Barren the more nu merous, and of stimulating the ladies to put on a more confident air, just as a few drops of rain, and a rather suspicious -looking cloud will only cause them to screw their pretty faces with a look of greater determination, when they are perfectly resolved and all ready for a trip to the races, or some other excursion, in which • their delicate persons, or superlative finery, may possibly be in danger of sustaining injury. Well, the two ex's were duly proposed and seconded— in neat and appropriate speeches—and the com pany waited, just like an assembly collected around that accomplished auctioneer, Mr. George Robins, suspending their breath upon the tap of the estate giving hammer, there was a pause; the Wyses and Barrons looked about—is it done ? said they. A gen tleman rose, and all that stirring affair which is now matter of history ensued. Mr. Christmas, a gentleman well known to all the inhabitants, was proposed and seconded- Mr. Christmas was not in the city—not in Ireland at the time, and knew nothing of it. Next day, Mr. Reade, another gentleman equally well known,—a Protestant and Conservative,—was put in nomination—in his absence—and after a contest, the particulars of which are given by the local papers, the two Protestants and Conservatives were returned by a very large majority ! Oh, wirrastrue, wirrastrue ! Whew—! whillaloo -- - ululatus. The howl now set up, through the urbs intacta, we are told, was quite terrific. The wise lord of the treasury never looked so foolish in his life; and as to Barron, he was barren indeed of every thing but an air of disconsolateness and mercy. Poor man, labouring as he does under a violent suspicion of debt, we wonder he did not go out and hang himself. An old woman was seen at the corner of one of the streets clapping her hands and mourning most dolefully. What is the matter, my good woman ? said a gentleman passing, oh sir, s a id she, sure the Tories have bet the Christians—and is not that too bad entirely ? As to the Catholic ladies who attended at the court-house, we understand that their extreme discomposure ever since this sudden and sad event, this most unexpected and terrible catas trophe, has been so great as to cause a considerable rise in the price of assn feetida, burnt feath ers , an d ‘• smelling salts, in the good city of Waterford ; an d as to the name of " Christmas," it must eve hereafter be unpleasant to their ears—so much so, that if any body should be so u nfortunate as to wish them a " merry" one, they will take it as a downright insult. THE LATE CENSUS TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. believe there is a declarati on i n an old-fashioned Ssit,-1 be - nearly-forgotten book, that " the labourer is worthy - If this be true, (and I really think it will not what must we think of the conduct of the au thorities,having enaged a slumber of individuals .ties, who, after baorlh'ire. disputed,) t t h o o t r a i ke the census. have to this very hour detained themoney This is particularly hard, as most of the per sons were without work, and consequently in need of all they could obtain. When they advertised for enume rators, w hy did they not honestly say that the money would due to ern i/g o m y not be paid for a months or two? This would have been open but on the se t erms they would have found very few to enrage themselves. I t i s really too bad to be put off week after least fter ' week, without any certain prospect of getting it at all, little as it is. One of the enumerators, to my knowledge, wrote to the General Registry Office, in London, but the answer returned was, " he must apply to the Clerk of the Peace here." He did so, and was then informed that "the Recorder was not in town, but when he came a special court would be held." Is not this shameful! after the lapse of nearly six weeks-, and the official announcement of the census. There requires a special court to pay a few poor men their wages for services rendered !—lf you will notice this in your paper, you will much oblige Liverpool, ONE OF THE ENUMERATORS July 14th, 1841.
