TO CORRESPONDENTS Owing to the extreme length at which we have given the in teresting proceedings in the House of Lords on Thursday evening,we are unavoidably compelled to solicit the indulgence of our correspondents. Now that the recess is commeneed, the additional space at our corm - liana will enable us to bring up arrears. " 4n Observer" wishes us to draw the attention of the authori ties to the dangerous state of the warehouse lately burnt in Lancelot's-hey. The note of " A Burgess" shall be submitted to the notice of the Conservative Association. We have no room for the " Lines to Clara." The treatment of the lad saved from drowning at Woodside seems to have been very hard and unreasonable. We shall make further inquiries on the subject. Alpha" is too long for insertion.

SPAIN AND THE MERCHNARIES.—The cause of our be loiwd country at home has absorbed so much of our in terest and attention, feeling it our duty to watch over domestic mercenaries, that we can only briefly touch this subject. Let it suffice, then, that we inform our indul gent friends, that Isabella Segundo, the Palmerstonian heroine, alias Madame Munoz, has sworn to the consti tution of 1812 ! That Messrs. Zulieta and Co.. the agents of M. Ituriz, and the Spanish Estututo Real go vernment, have dishonoured the bills for payment of the British legion ; and that they have been protested by Carbonell and Co.,•the English agents in London. Thus the " Westminsters" - will be sans largent ; and unless Don Carlos takes compassion on them, sans nourriture, min English, without bread. As "suave qui peut" is a very natural consequence' of such a state of things ; and the thrice valiant of Westminster having no power to vote the supplies," even he may deem it expedient to quit Saint Sebastian, by what is quaintly termed " French leave." Poor pathetic Lord Palmerston—this is really a sorry dispensation for you. Cupidon and Lambkin may and should condole with each other ! My Lord of Russell we leave to the invigorating care of his better half, and Rice to his cabin tenants and their grunting inmates! Although we have devoted a great portion of our pre scribed space to the general policy of the whig cabinet, during its sessional career, we feel it imperative to be stow some little attention to that all important docu ment, the " King's Speech," but in reality the apologe ic bulletin of his ministers, his Majesty generously con ' descending to be their "mouth-piece"—to act the part of manager for them, in their farewell (qu. ?) address to the audience of peers and peeresses, commoners, and n on - commoners assembled upon this occasion. The sound of the trumpet, blown by the herald of the Times, and repeated bv one or more of our watchful London sentinels, some three or four days back, brought Us to our posts, armed with a table service of goose-quill a nununition, and we remained under arms, en bivouac, cur contemporary having given warning of the secret Preparation of a battering ram, in the Melbourne, fuze of extraordinary dimensions, and containing a large quantity of projectiles, to be used by his Majesty in a Premeditated assault on the House of Peers, for the con tumacious defence made by their lordships in command of the ramparts and trenches of that truly venerable for tress. " Old England's Constitution." True it is, we were somewhat astounded at the intelli gence conveyed by the first blast of the clarion of war but knowing the temerity (maugre the true courage) o the enemy in possession of the camp of the Commons, we gave credence thereto momentarily, whilst we ventured not to surmise on the quality of the attack, nor on its mode of execution. We were, however, duly apprised on W ednesday morning last of an intended sortie on the Whole of the whig positions, under the management of the right trusty and valiant Knight of Lyndhurst, who had determined on silencing the firing from the Holland battery, and " blowing up" the other works of the " en - t tenched" thereabouts ! This admirably devised sortie Was so well conducted on Thursday night, that the assail ants were turned " right about," their machinery, ram, and fuzes destroyed, and their evil designs frustrated ; b ut, the sequel ! Why, they marched quietly into the lord s ' garrison, on Saturday noon, carrying the ensign Of the Lamb ! To be serious ;—this speech of the King's ministers, the officials of Downing -street, is only remark nable for one quality, (for sterling merit with regard to candour, or the true developement of our social or fo reign policy, in their hands, it has none,) a studious and jesuitical avoidance in its style of any phrase calculated to raise discussion on the topics embraced is it s leading feature, and divesting it of its sophistry and fallacious as "tninions,—"fallacia alia aliam trudit,"—it is posi tively "mill: and wate t "—it hardly affords a peg wh ereon ,C 1 hang one-argument...." Ho we are the mightyfallen," ( 69 1r.ig the language of holy writ. Our truly able-contemporary of the Londoii Standard anatomized this flimsy production, by anticipation, on Saturday, and condescended to devote its energy to one point chiefly 7 -the vaunted tranquillity of Ireland. The tranquillity is, as we have intimated, altogether a pre tence ; but, perlraps, in his Majesty's circumstances, condemned as he is to "see with the eyes, and hear With the ears' of the ministers of the House of Commons, he may feel it his duty so far to countenance the political fiction, that Ireland really enjoys peace at this time, when his gaol of Clonmel holds between 300 and 400 prisoners ; and whilst Mr. O'Connell is openly engaged in exhorting his brothers, by country and creed, not to waste in mutual violence and slaughter those energies which he would have them direct to the overbearing the law, and the political separation of these islands. With regard to Spain the unfortunate whigs are knocked down by the despatch telegraphic from Saint Ildefonso, but even for that my Lord Cupidon has found a placebo. Yet Don Carlos progresses in increased se curity, whose success it was the object of the quadruple treaty to defeat,—nor should a British monarch have been placed in the humiliating position of expressing his lamentation and " regret," in a set speech from the throne, on the possible issue of such a contest, through the imbecile policy of his ministers We refer our in telligent readers to the speech itself,—they will form their own estimate of its other value and importance, even of this' pageant of Prospero as a mixture of twaddle and studied evasion. For the present—" requiescat in pace !" We have arrived once more at the annual period for retrospective reflection on our social legislation, and ge • nerd national policy—the close of another session of parliament; and we must refer to our columns of the past . month for an illustration of our sentiments and opi nions on those important topics of state interest to which we have felt it our duty, in the exercise of our censorial or critical discretion, to draw the more immediate atten tion of our readers. • In the truly onerous task we have undertaken in be half of our country's weal, and in support of sound prin ciples of government, we, nevertheless, declare ourselves to be entirely regardless of men, (saving and excepting those who have glaringly allied themselves with evil,) and that our views, whenever admissible, have been and are stedfastly directed to the measures and the general policy of those who have arrogated to themselves the exclusive possession of that state wisdom and those senatorial talents and that patriotism which were alike necessary to carry this country through a great crisis of popular agitation and speculative reforms, in the complex machiriery of our disturbed institutions, and under the pressure of public opinion. Having assumed this position, and however warmly attached, from principle we proudly own we are, to all those fundamental rules of action which are not merely associated with, but intimately bound up with the inte grity, honour, and independence of the British constitu tional monarchy; and from conscientious conviction firmly devoted, without bigotry or intolerance, to that holy protestant church, the choice inheritance transmit ted to us by the christian love, virtue, and constancy of our forefathers, and in the bosom of which we were born and nurtured, we would not offer a purely cynical or fac tious opposition, even towards those- who, in our opi nion, have yet infortuitousl f seized the reins of .power at a moment of great national peril ; whilst it was impos sible, acting the part of common candour, to divest our selves of those fears and that feeling of rational preju dice which is the natural result of true devotion; nor to avoid watching over the destinies of our country with a jealous eye, when we beheld the daringly dangerous in roads attempted to be made on that constitution and that church, the declared objects of our solicitude—nay, even on the sanctity of our very religion, and the security of our liberties and our possessions as Englishmen! Having taken our stand on this high conservative ground, and feeling that an Englishman's honour should be equally independent with his pride, it is impossible that we should stoop to mere rank, talents, or authority ; and supposing that even some judgment was exercised at the helm, without exerting that corrective quality of de liberative discrimination which is due to the cause we have espoused,' and-to our own consistency. It could hardly be imagine] then that we would follow in the slavish trainof fawning vassalage, or even tacitly applaud actions and principles, which, in radicals, infidels, or papists, we cannot but disapprove of, merely because they. have found favour in the hands of apostate politicians, or happen to have one or more of the higher order of whig officials as their advocates. We are ready to admit that, whenever in leading points, questions of real utility, in the hands of the execu tive of the day, are promoted by firmness and honest patriotic zeal, that trifling differences in opinion should be conceded in their favour for the sake of social har mony, and in promotion of the public service, as well as to avoid that querulous and even petty war of words, and that idle declamation which have, within the last few years especially, brought discredit on our national intel ligence, the honour of the British senate, weakened our power and influence abroad, and operated as a drag chain to the progress of our real social improvement. But this politic and well-intentioned forbearance—this conditional deference to the servants of the crown—to the confidential advisers of the sovereign for the time being, could not possibly be extended to questions in which the very ex istence of the constitution itself became involved, and in which the integrity, utility, and even the fazth of our reformed christian church were deeply and dangerously assailed, without a positive dereliction both of duty and of principle, at once utterly incompatible with our feel ings and our professions. Determined then on not imitating the servile crew who have become the panegyrists and applatiders of a system of policy we disclaim ; and, disdaining the just odium of being blind devotees, and much less mercenary appendages to power on the one hand, or the infatuated worshippers of abstract principles of popular rights on the other, we have abjured the contemplated attempts, at the .expense of national honour and national truth, to destroy the domestic liberties of this highly-favoured and fondly cherished land of our birth, or to undermine that elevated position which Britain should retain, as a purely pro testant state, amidst the powers of Europe—nay, even in the great family of nations occupying the surface of the globe It is now sufficiently well known to all parties, that the present whig administration came into office, and to what they vainly conceive power, solely upon the assertion of an abstract principle of meditated wrong to the protestant church of Ireland—here then have we at once joined conclusive e v id ence o f th e issue with them, and having true nature and extent of their tortuous system of policy, furnished by their own nefarious opposition to the con servative reform cabinet of Sir Robert Peel, under the ever memorable Litchfield House compact, we have re solved, on principle, to resist, inch by inch, that policy— to contest the equity and the justice of the various mea sures founded thereupon, and to await the verdict of an independent jury, and the judgment of the nation on that resolve, rather than accept the proffered boon of parasites, and sink into mei ited insignificance or contempt, under the justexecrations of all those whose opinions are worthy of estimation in the scale of social being, and genuine English feeling. We now come to the point at once—the gravamen of that deeply-contemplated offence and injury against the constitution and the church of England with which we directly charge the Whole policy of the whig councillors of our truly-patriotic sovereign William the Fourth " spectemur agendo !" We will try the question with them on its own merits, by the actions, not the hollow superficial professions of men barefacedly leagued with the avowed enemies of that constition and that church, from their accession to office to the termination of this, their second parliamentary session, of wonderful performances in misrule. We had before us in the first part of the session of 1835, the grateful spectacle of an English Commoner rising frLrn the bosom of the people, under the blessings of a free and liberal constitution, to the highest station in our popular system of government, as the leader of the House of Coirafroti'S; i L eao,thuielided* by the po‘i'erful THE LivEtIPOOL silANDAidi influence of long-tried senatorial talents and industry, as well as by private moral character, to the confidence of his Sovereign, in a moment of critical state-emer gency. We beheld this private English gentleman, ad ditionally recommended to support and confidence by an early attachment. and association with those principles which had directed the policy of one of the greatest statesmen of this or any other country, either in ancient or modern times—of him whom we justly look back upon and regard, not only as the skilful pilot who guided the majestic vessel of the English state, during the fury of the greatest revolutionary storm that ever assailed the repose of mankind; but to whose memory is closely attached the endearing epithet, of having been alike the ardent friend and saviour of his country in her hour of peril ! We further beheld in his successor in feeling, an individual not merely possessing the ordi nary pretensions to greatness as an ornament of the senate by the powers of his eloquence, or capability of sustaining vigorously the energies of debate; but even (against our own preconceived prejudices on a vital question) standing on higher claims with others, as a man whose feelings of national patriotism had caused him to perform that, which, whilst it paved the way, un der a mistaken view of human nature, controled by the dark influence of the principles of political popery, ought to have endeared him at all events to the present generation of Irish Roman Catholics. We say then we beheld this gifted Statesman, possessing at once so many strong ties on the affections and the gratitude of the Irish people especially, and even claims to the full confidence of the liberal reformers themselves of this kingdom— having no just rival in the confidence of his King, and whom not only the wealth and interest of England rooked up to, but Europe itself respected, treated by a faction, not as one deserving well of his country, but presented as an enemy the more dangerous by his influence, conser vative feeling, and mental power, to the real welfare and popular interests of his fellow men, supplanted by a treacherous compact with an adventurous, trading, mendicant agitator, (who owed his elevation to power and state influence, to the misplaced confidence of the former) and deprived of carrying out measures of safe and approved public benefit, by means of an anomalous confederated union of apostatate whigs, destructive radicals, papists, and dissentients on one falsely consti tuted leading question, the stalking horse to power— braced up by the two latter, for the covert purpose of de stroying the remaining integrity and pre—eminence of the Irish Protestant Church—the inviolability, as by law established, of a British Protestant Parliament, and that remaining necessary proscription of principle in the constitution, expressly covenanted with the reformed church, and which guards the throne itself from being held by a papal prince, and is equally needful to the King's supremacy ; and eventually, step by step, the final distinction of all those landmarks which from 1688, downwards, have preserved internal peace and religious security, (excepting the two armed attempts made by Papists for similar objects) in the now united kingdom. These are the grounds of our open opposition to the present ministry, and by the principles they involve we stand or fall. It now becomes our duty to inquire what redeeming points or mitigatory circumstances have transpired in the acts of this self-appointed Whig and anti-protestant administration, to obtain for them the confidence of the country generally, as well as to remove those well grounded apprehensions w hich we ourselves, in common with our conservative brethren of every rank, have en tertained by reason of our preceding defined premises. In this by no means easy task we are greatly indebted to the genius of that Nestor of the British peerage, Lord Lyndhurst, who has routed the centaurs of sophism, by an exposé at once luminously vivid and smashingly de structive of the value of their pretensions to frame laws for the improvement or regulation of our varied and complicate domestic interests, or to wield with honour the truncheon of our foreign policy even in the hands of their valiant colleague Lord Palmerston, to whom - We advise them to inscribe the' heroic sentiment of Ovid : " I nuns magnifieos, victor, moliere triumphos, Cinge comarn lauto, votaque redde Jove!" Anglice—March now, thou conqueror, achieve great triumphs, encircle your brow with laurel, and offer up your prayers to the mighty Jove 1 . In.other words, await. "the destiny from on high," and sing the triumphs of Isabella Segundo, and to the music of the constitution of 1812, as recently serenaded at Saint Ildefonso ; but preserve a free passage Intrie for poor Evans, (and his Westminster grenadiers,) who is too sick to join in your transports! Let us proceed with our summary detail. In the first place, that mighty thing of " sh►eds and patches," and awful hobby of the great ex-chancellor Brougham, " re form of the Court of Chancery," ,was propounded in the speech from the throne at the commencement of the ses sion ; but after great anticipations had been roused and marvellous benefits promised, it passed over, in the words of Lord Lyndhurst, " week after week, month after month, and nothing was done ;" at length a bill (No. 1 of the grand list) was brought in by the present Lord Chancellor, Cottenham ; and such was the intrinsic value and the good quality of its materials, that " it found favour from no party, whig or tory, radical or conserva tive, all condemned it, and it fell still-born on their lord ships' table." As it had performed so great a part in the circle of our reforming policy, we say, with Lord Lynd hurst, requiescat in pace! "Let not its ashes be dis turbed !" The next measure, or No. 2 in the list, was a bill for the reform of the Ecclesiastical Courts. This bill had been drawn up under the recommendation of a commission appointed during the Duke of Wellington's administra. tion, upon a report made by Dr. Lushington, and which report was handed over to Lord Grey's administration when they came into office. Lord Brougham, the then Chancellor, was repeatedly reminded of tile great impor tance of the subject, and at length a bill was brought in, ostensibly for the purpose of removing the evils com plained of. This bill (in some matters of detail only) met the objections of Lord Lyndhurst and others—it was at length referred to a "committee up stairs;" and, after a laborious or protracted inquiry, the committee made their report. That report was laid on their lordships' table, but from that time to Thursday evening last Lord Lyndhurst said, " no effort had been made by any minister of the crown to carry into effect that important measure !!" In fact, according to Sir Charles Wetherell's definition, it had got into the grand dormitory ! And we would ask, why should it not repose there, and join in the slumbers of the mighty whigs ? It appears, however ; that it has now been aroused by a peal of unexpected thunder, and the ears of its guardian angels sufficiently well opened by the report thereof ! Our next friend is the bill for the reform of the Royal Stannary Courts. This bill was opposed principally by Lord Langdale (the Master of the Rolls), and it was forcibly shown by Lord Lyndhurst in addition, that one of its provisions contained the unconstitutional principle of interfering with the independence of the Judge Here again Whig and Tory joined in condemnation— Lord Wynford had also held up its unconstitutional in terference with the act of settlement, under which the Judges held their high functions and administered the law, independently of the Crown, one of the most valuable provisions for the preservation of the liberty of the subject, since the passing of Magna Charta, the Bill of Rights, and even the Habeas Corpus Act. This sub ject was so beautifully illustrated by Lord Lyndhurst , that we refer especially to that part of his speech on Thursday night upon it, that choice illustration displays the crooked deformity of contemplated Whig despotism in a form which will go down to posterity, and cover the vaunted patriotism of Lord Holland, whn essayed its defence with indellible disgrace. So much for the glory of Whiggism in 18:36, and its renown on the page of history—nor do we think that even the sprightly efferve scence of Lord Holland trill venture to exclaim With Virgil— " Olim merninisse juvabit." as applied to this evening. And now for the great O'Connell mortar, charged for the destruction of Protestant, and the substitution of Popish corporations, the " Irish municipal corporations bill." The grounds on which the House of Lords re j ected this measure, or rather sabstittited another bill abolishing the corporations entirely, are so well known that we need not here comment upon them ; the same applies to the Church of Ireland or Tithe SW, already fully discussed by us in a former number, and as both these Measures were rejected or thrown out by the House of Commons, or rather by its fag end rnajorit,' of radicals and papal destructives, because " The Lords" would not sanction the principles of papal ascendancy in one, and the spoliation of the Protestant Church in the other, we need not again enlarge upon the subject " re quiescat in pace," as the whigs have given them a fu neral requiem ! Again, the " Benefices Pluralities Bill." This mea sure, one of the most important of the session, brought in by the Archbishop of Canterbury, under the recom mendation of the ecclesiastical commissioners, and passed by the House of Lords, having for its basis the doing away with pluralities and equalising church livings, was abandoned by the ministers themselves in the House of Commons to satisfy or appease a senseless clamour raised by their radical supporters and papal allies. A " mutiny' , in the Melbourne camp, which the noble premier put down by concession, after the fashion of his friend Evans at St. Sebastian ! The registration of voters' bill—the newspapers' stamp bill (amended)—and the charitable trusts corporations' bill (the first and last)—thrown out in the commons by the worthy whigs themselves, com prise the substance of their mighty sessional labours— and the grounds of their claim to the continued tenure of office. We will not so grossly insult the good sense of Englishmen by supposing for a moment, on this showing' that they can command the confidence of the country' excepting it be to perform the part of arch jugglers and political mountebanks, in conjunction with the prime hero of Derrynane and his Dublin parliament. In conclusion' we ask for an impartial verdict on the evidence, and " JUSTICE FOR ENGLAND 1" To felt it our conservative duty to bestow that serious attention to the sayings and doings of the holy friar of the order of "Saint Ignatius de Loyola," for our last impression, as exhibited by himself before the miscalled National Association in Dublin, previously to his de parture to the " smuggler's cave" of Derrynane, that we were, unavoidably, precluded noticing several topics of passing interest connected with our local or immedi ate domestic legislation, if we may insult the majesty of the term legislation by au association with the gross ir regularity and disorderly management under which our modern would-be Solons concoct and bring forth matters which are designed as appendages to our statute book, and put forward as auxiliaries to our system of civil ju risprudence. If a practical illustration were demanded at our hands in sustenance of the justice of these our discursive ob servations, we have but to retrace our steps a few paces, and, on Monday evening last, in that assembly miscalled " the people's house," we behold the glaringly unseem ly slovenly manner uncle' which the most important ques tions and objects connected with the very protection of our choices and popular rights are there managed, in the hands of underling wing lawyers. We refer specifically to the discussion which took place on the "second read ing" of the TITLE of "The Boroughs Justice Adminis tration Bill," "The Boroughs Boundaries Bill," and "The Boroughs Fund's Bill," each and all measures of (should-be) grave import, connected with the due ad ministration of justice, the security of property, and the application of public monies to their legitimate objects. And how do we find these all important matters treated by the responsible (can- we say the dignified—the inge nious) law officer of this " house of the people" in his place ? Negligence itself, gross negligence and inat tention to the important official duties of the situation held by the Solicitor-General, hardly admit of pallia tion ; but when such neglect is attempted to be pitifully shuffled over, and the just admonition evaded by direct malversation in the face of fact, and the assembled Com mons of England, sent by their constituents as a body of upright, independent, and intelligent gentlemen, to watch over the interests of the nation at large, and the rights of individuals in particular, there is not only total want of decency but positive want of shame in such a course—marked by perfect absence of that ordinary de corum; that candour and integrity of deportment, which. is ever capable of " sustaining just deeds by noble means," in the fine sentiment of the great Lord Mans field. On this occasion the Earl of Lincoln said he " must call the attention of the House to the mode in which these and similar bills were conducted through their se veral stages in that House. In the present case the march of legislation was indeed sufficiently rapid; for without having in reality been read a first time on Sa turday, the second reading of them was now proposed by the learned gentleman. The learned gentleman was not present on Saturday when those bills were said to have been read a first time ; and he (the Earl of Lincoln) was sure, that no honourable member would have been a party to a proceeding that was a fraud upon the house, and an insult to its members. "True it was," said his lordship, " that these bills were apparently read a first time on Saturday—that was to say, they went through the forma lity of having their titles read ; but when some honour able members went to examine their contents, they found that three blank sheets of parchment had been laid upon the table, containing nothing whatever but the titles of the bills on the outside ! This case (said he) is an un precedented one; and he would appeal to the chair for an opinion on the point." Three bills of legal (strictly) practical application, demonstrated to the House of Com mons by their titles only ! Was there ever such a mock ery of legislation as this exhibited amongst a society of educated beings? The learned Solicitor-General—the avant courier of the mighty whig logicians—said " he would bow to the decision of the chair, (really, Mr. Solicitor, is it possi ble ?) but he would remind the noble lord that the entry on the journals that these bills bad been read a second time, was a document that could not afterwards be called in question." What! Tile House of Commons not able, not competent, to obviate or to comment upon an unconstitutional act of glaring, palpable irregularity, into which it had been entrapped, on a subject of such pa ramount importance as the necessary examination of the provisions of three several acts of parliament, bearing on the immediate privileges of British subjects! Whence this profound, this etherial logic ? Then " The circum stance of the house having ordered the bills to be read a second time, was a proof that they had been read a first time !" Verily, learned sir, you must have had your in structions from a quarter with which we do not pretend to be closely intimate, althoughtwe can shrewdly guess the principles, " secreta m9nita," which govern the policy of your masters, and above all of your great master in jesuitry—the initiated of the holy creed of Ignatius— the lay despot of our sister land, and her would-be su preme dictator! But the chair—the chair! and oh what a scene was there! Such a ruffled wig, the very curls of which be came astounded ! Really, Lord Lincoln, you were too unmerciful, even in your polished gentleness,—that you, my lord, should have so little consideration for the re cherche wisdom, the sterling value of whig law, and the sensitive judgment of its controlling head, as to have vo• lunteered an assault like this! To be grave, however, with a grave subject, and as gravity best befits the : cepa ciouS learning of the wig (qu. whig ! ) and as we do not wish to combat even with our humble play and ridicule the stern front of Mr. Sergeant-at-Arms, we proceed, with all due decorum and respect, to detail, that the Speaker said there could be no doubt, that a copy of the bills on parchment should be on the table of the House when the first reading was moved ;" but (oh, whiggery again !) he was not aware that such was not the case at the time. He (the Speaker) understood that the reason was this—" that the bills were at that moment in the hands of the printer, in order to insure their being printed, and in the hands of members as early as possi ble that morning! What a convenient printer I But we must pause here, and leave our readers to enjoy the smile which credulity itself cannot prevent rising into merited contempt, of the shifts and quirks of our worthy governorS, protected by the Chair, of the House of Commons. Mr. Bernal, as chairman of conimittees; Said, that " what had occurred was an accident, and one 'hich he hoped was not likely to happen again." And we hope so too, Mr. Bernal ; for should it, we shall feel it to be our duty, if riot our privilege, to prescribe a suit able punishment in the hands of you, Mr. Bernal, — namely, that such bills, of titles only, be ushered in with due form, surmounted by a jesuit's cowl with a " foes cap and bells," that honourable members may be awak ened to the learned trickery going forward, whilst many of them are slumbering on the benches, or quaffing at Bellamy's " above stairs." Finally, we oiler to Lord Lincoln the tribute of our respect, and the thanks of our independent conservative friends, for the exposé he has given on this occnSion and we assure this patriotic young nobleman of our humble support, whether against the learned, or the un learned of these arch councillors, on all occasions when he may deem it expedient to assail their system; and, having some knowldege of the true constitutional law of England, we fear not the replication of those who would vainly attempt 0. defen.l such deceit. „r. • TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. The council met by adjournment on Friday morning, at eleven o'clock. COMMISSIONER OF THE COURT OF REQUESTS. The MAYQR stated that the council had , assembled that day by adjournment, to elect a chief commissioner for the court of requests. Three gentlemen had offered themselves as candi date, but two of them (Mr. Carr, of Liverpool, and Mr. Boileau, of Warrington,) having withdrawn, the only candidate was Mr. Lowndes, the Chancery barrister. It was then moved thatMr Lowndes be appointed. A member of the council enquired if the appointment was to he made during the pleasure of the council, or during good behaviour? Mr. CROOK having referred to the act of parliament, stated that the appointment was held during good behaviour. Mr. BiacH objected to the appointment being made during good behaviour, as the corporation would be saddled with the expense of the commissioner, if the constitution of the body should be altered. The appointment during good behaviour had already occasioned au expense of two officers, who were removed when the constitution of .the court was changed, Mr SHIM, and other gentlemen objected to the permanent appointment of the commissioner, and contended that it wont(' he infinitely better to make the appointment - during pleasure. It was necessary that the appointment of Rjudge presidingover criminal matters should be perfectly free from political bias, but the case was different with a judge who only presided over pecu- niary matters. Mr. WooLwatGEIT wished to know what provision was made in the bill to ascertain the property of the debtor? The NIA you said that the bill had been a long time under dis cussion, and, he had no doubt, was made as perfect as possible. He thought it would therefore be better to proceed at once to the question before the court, and take the sense of the council on'the motion. _ _ WOOLWRIGIIT said he understood that the bill provided that the debtor should he confined only seven days, and thathis pronerty was released from the payment of his debts. Mr. BOLTON wished to know if it was necessary that the corn missionPr should he appointed during good behaviour? The MAYOR said the Town-at,' k must have been aware of the effect of such an appointment when the bill was prepared, and would not have consented to it unless it was necessary. His worship expressed his satisfaction at the change created by the bill, and said he had no doubt it would give great satisfaction to the public. The appointment of Mr. Lowndes was then put by the MAYOR to the council, and unanimously agreed to. THE ALKALI MANCFACTORIUS. The Mayon stated that he had received a memorial from cer tain manufacturers of alkali, which stated !hat they had expended a very considerable sum of money in ti; Hog up their premises, and had embarked a very large capital in the business; that the alkali made by them was much used in the manufacture of glass, soap, and other trades, and was the means of furnishing employ ment to several thousand persons; that it was with some con cern they lea rot that the town council had passed a bye-law to suppress their manufactory, on the ground of its being a nui sance—a measure which, if carried into effect, would annihilate their business, ruin their workmen, and affectother trades which were dependent on their business. Without adverting to the hardship of singling them out, the memorialists said they con sidered it a most extraordinary proceeding that the bye-law should have been passed without giving them a longer time than the 27th September to remove the cause of complaint. They hoped the town council would, at the present meeting, rescind the bye-law, or afford them a longer time to remove any just cause of complaint. The memorial was signed by Messrs. Stock dale and Son; James and Ann Holmes and Co.; 0. Airy and Co.; James Leigh and Co.; Thomas Stockdale, jun.; Hurst, Brothers, and Taylor; Edward Kilshaw ; John Steele and Son; George Blake, and James Blake. Mr. BaNN suggested that a committee should be appointed to communicate with the manufacturers as to the best means of removing the nuisance, and he observed that it was most impor tant to the town that the manufactories should not be put down. The works might be removed to some distant spot, or means might be adopted to prevent annoyance from the smoke. Mr. COGL AN seconded the proposition of Mr. Benn, and ob served that the geutlemen who had signed the memorial did not mean to complain of the line of policy adopted by the council, because it was only an attempt to put down a public nuisance for the benefit of the community. Every person must be sensi ble of the great public nuisances arising from these works; but it was necessary that private property should be res pected. Mr. THORNHILL reccommended that the petition should be referred to the committee who advised the bye-law, and con sidered that they were the proper persons to hold comutunica tion with the memorialists on the subject. He understood that the memorialists were ready to do every thing they could to abate the nuisance, and would raise their chimneys 100 yards higher. Dr. CARSON observed, that if the memorialists could show that the works were not calculated to injure the public health, they would be relievedfrom the consequences of the bye law. Mr. JOHN CROPPER conk: not see upon what principle the memorial should be referred to the committee after the bye-law had been made. He could not understand why the ntusl nee should be allowed to continue to the injur y of the town, indlelv for the benefit of a few interested individuals. In the neigli• bourhood of the north schools the smell was so offensive that it was almost impossible to breathe. Mr. BtRCH said it would be only fair, in fact, an act of com mon justice, to hear the parties iu their defence; that he believed, was the prayer contained in the memoral. The MAYOR, on refering to the memorial, said the prayer was, that the town council would pass a resolution to rescind the bye-law, or suspend it till they had been heard in their defence. Mr. BIRCH did not see how any reasonable man could refuse that request, especially as so much property, and the depen dence of so many families, were involved in it. Mr. BROWN said that it was necessary the nuisance should be abated, and the moment that was done the bye-law would be at an end. To allow the health of the public to suffer as it had done was quite out of the question. Mr. RA THRONE observed that the health of the public had been affected for years by this nuisance. It was never attempted to he removed until the bye-law was made, and then the manu facturers said, " Oh, we will remove it, if you will give us time." It was nothing but the fear of the bye-law that uuw held them iia terrorem, and thus compelled them to abate the nuisance. He did not wish to do any thin g vindictive to th e memor i a li sts, but he hoped the council - would respect the health of the town. Mr. BOLTON recommended Mr. Benn to withdraw his motion, in order that the matter should be referred to the committee which made the bye-law. ... Mr. EVANS hoped that the nuisance would be suppressed, and he believed that could only be done by removing the works altogether. _ . 111 r. ROBINSON asked if the magistrates had not the power to suspend a penalty which they might impose on the memorialists, if they abated the nuisance.—Mr. CROOK said they had not. Mr. BLACKBURN said that great efforts had been made to abate the nuisance, but they were unsuccessful. The parties were indicted, but, on the trial, the complainants were defeated on a technical objection. It was not an easy thing to suppress such a nuisance by legal proceedings, and those proceedings, moreover, were attended with very great expense. The town council had very properly interfered to put down the nuisance. If the parties abated it, no penalty would be inflicted on them, and the bye-law would not be carried ito effect. The council did not wish to exterminate the trade of the memorialists, but to compel them to carry it on without injury to the public health. Let them abate the nuisance, and there would be cud of the matter. Mr. EGERTON SMITH considered that every means should be adopted to abate the nuisance. He had had some conversation with practical men on this subject, and they thought that the proposition which the memorialists made for passing the vapour through water was so expensive that they would not do it. He thought it was possible to abate the nuisance at a much less ex pense, and he therefore thought that two or three members of the council should wait on the memorialists to know what plan they intended to carry into operation. The Mayou said he thought it would he lower in g the di g nit y of the council if two or three of their body waited upon the me morialists. He did not think that any precipitation had been used. In January last an indictment ,sas preferred against Mr. Lutwvche, upon which he was found g uilty._ Three months was then given him to remove the nuisance; but in the mean time he very wisely sold out of the concern, oticern and another bnotfoherre they in his place. He thought the councilshould pause passed a resolution to rescind the bye-law, when it became tie. cessary to put it in force. He had heard that the profit o f th e business was so great, that when it was intimated to one of the partners that a fine would be imposed upon him, he made a calculation of the returns, said the concern could afford to pay it, and laughed at the proceedings. He was glad that the council had succeeded in convincing them that the law would be put in force, and caused them to change their tune. The council were not desirous to injure private property ; but it was necessary that the public health should be preserved. Having passed a bye-law, it was not proper to rescind it. If the memo rialists were sincere in their declaration to abate the nuisance, they had an opportunity to do so; b u t if th ey did not, t h ey wo uld be proceeded against. Mr. SHEIL observed, that if time was given to the memorial ists to abate the nuisance, and they did not succeed, then they would have no cause to complain if proceedings were taken against them. He was decidedly of opinion that the nuisance should be abated. It was a gross neglect on the part of those who allowed such nuisances to grow up in the town, and per mitted men to expend large sums of money upon the erection of establishments that must be suppressed. He hoped the council would not fall into the same error; and parties would have more respect for them if they did their duty tearlessly and with out regard to private interests. A chimney belonging to one of these factories was placed against the wall of the northern school, and the smoke was thrown into the yard, where 500 or 600 children were assembled every day. Mr. BENN said it was the sincere wish of the memorialists to remove the nuisance, and all they now desired was to have an opportunity to explain their plans. He moved, therefore, that the memorial be referred to the bye-law committee. The M*YOR observed that there was one very important eir cumstance to be considered, namely, that the fines e w town would he imposed w o uld g o to the borough fund , and th council would lay the information. If it was thatfoundthere be liih was a disposition to abate the nuisance , the council would slow to i m p ose the fines. It was not in t he power of a common informer l to lay the information , as the fines went to the borough food. After ia,o , s t ome further discussion , in which several gentlemen tool: Mr. J. CIWPRER moved that the memorial be laid on the table. The motion having been seconded, the Msrok stiggeSteti that it should stand over - till' the 7th September,, when did Town-clerk would attend.

The MAYOR stated that he had received a letter from the British Scieutific Associati o n, ackn o wledging the receipt 91 the memorial from the council inviting them to Liverpool uext year. THE SEWERS. Mr. RATHBONE moved that the Town 7 survriyor should, be in structed to survey the s ewerage o f th e s t ree t s where the poor resided, and inake,a report on the subject to the cotincil. The. sewers in those streets were in a very bad state, and.were calcu lated to endanger the health of the people, and cause fever. Mr. HoLma . s said that those gentlemen whose duty it was to inspect the sewers had done all they could to abate the nuisance of which Mr. Rathbone complained. Sewers had been made in all the principal streets, and it would take a.inillion of money to make sewers throughout the town. .Mr. ILtriinoNE contended that drains should be put doWn in the small streets, where the health of the people was greatly suffering. lie did not tiee any objection to the report being Made, and the council could do what theyliked with it after. . Mr. ROBINSON moved as an amendment that it be referred to the commissioners, to see if a better plau could be devised for the better drainage of the streets. The MAYOR said the highway board had a map of the town; and the plan of the sewers that had been made and that were to be made. He thought it would be better to refer the matter to them, With a recommendation. that they : should give their speedy attention to it. They were the legitimate beard to whom such a question sluiuld be referred, and if the council interfered With any of their duties, the next thing would be that the board would endeavour to throw the expense on them. Mr. RATHBONE immediately agreed . to the mayor's sllkkettiOD: ACCOMMODATION FOR STEAM-BOAT PASSENGERS. Mr. J. D. TnutiNELy said he had to present a memorial: which was very numerously and respectably signed, from the inhabitants of the Cheshire side of the Mersey, requesting that the council would improve : the landing-place at Liverpool., . The memorialists stated that there were ten steam-boats en, gaged conveying passengers to and from Liverpool and the opposite shore. .'1 hat the accommodation fur landing was un safe, and not sufficient for the the great number of persons who arrived by the steam-boats. That passengers were frequently obliged to pass over several small .boats to. get to particular, vessel, and that great confusion was created in consequence, as there were frequently five or six sets passpnwtrtkosemble4 at one time. The alarm was consequently very great, and the lives of many persons were placed in great danger, The me morialists therefore prayed that an improvement_ or an extension of the present landing-places at. Liverpool should lie made. Mr. THORNELY then moved that the memorial should be re ferred to the finance committee. • . . , . Mr. BOLTON sencondett the motion, and .said there was an absolute necessity fur increased a, commodation for the steam boat passengers. Mr. BROCKLEBANK observed that as it was a question that materially concerned the opposite side of the water and the holders of the ferries, if any money was to be expended they ought to join the corporation in the expense. The MAYOR said he had uo doubt they would. Mr. LEsTHot recommended that a second set of stairs should, be made on the other side of the baths, and that one-half of the boats should be complied to land their passengers there. Mr. E. SMITH, Mr. MottEceorr, and other gentlemen spoke in favour of increased accommodation.. The memorial was then ordered to be referred to the committee. The council then adjourned to the 7th September. To THE CONSERVATIVES OF scum LANCASHIRE. • I beg to call your attention to our annual meeting., on the St September next, when every honest man should be at his post. not satisfying himself in being one, of; the members; show your-, selves there, that the country at large may see and know that we continue steadily determined to protect our glorious constitution in church and state; remembering well the result of our ex ample in South Lancashire. Scarcely a town of any magnitude now but has in it these and others equally useful—the operative associa.tions. Remember, that our enemies are like the mole, • they are at work in the dark, and, if we shirk our post, they wilt assuredly undermine our constitution.—" England expects every man to do his duty;"—conservatives cannot do theirs by remaining at home on these occasions [From one of the sixteen who was first enrolled in the South Lancashire Association.] 18th August, 1836. THE ASSIZES.—The causes have hitherto proceeded very slowly. the average scarcely being more than three per diem; and generally the cases have been of a most trumpery character. ' There still remains 41 causes o❑ the list undisposed*; 80, that, • 'should they occupy equal ,time with their ,predecessors, the assizes bid fair to continue some time. . . , THE REGISTER.—The overseers have published the, lists of parliamentary electors for the borough of Liverpool. The total number is 10,600, being an increase of 1132 upon the list of last year. The number . on this year's list is made up as follows: Township of Everton, 502; AVest.Derby, 411; Kirkdale, 172; Toxteth Park, 1016; Liverpool, 8099. The number of persons registered or claiming to be registered on the county, for the township of Liverpool, is 1858, being an increase of 331 on the list of last year. We are glad to know that the talents of Professor llenslovv, of Cambridge, and Mr. Maund, the author of the BOTANIC GARDEN, are to be united in the production of a new monthly, Botanical Work, to be called THE BOTANIST, No. 1, of which is announced for publication on the first of September. nein Mr. Mauna's ablility, so steadily displayed in his beautiful work;, now on every drawing-room table, and the scientific attainments . of the Rev.

Two other men' were likewise so touch bruised and scalded that little hopee o ( their recovery are entertained; one of them Was carried home, the other conveyed to the Infirmary, The deceased Was carried,. to Mr. Harper's, the Grand Junction Coffee-house, in Crown street. This is, we understand, the third dead body which has, in a short time, been taken to that house. It. is strange that so comfortable and useful an establishment should be without a regular spirit license. Since the accident the other two men have died, and yesterday an inquest was held on the bodies, and a verdict returned of accidental death. Wool, SALE.—An extensive slle of wool teak 'flare on Thursday. at the sale-rooms of Messrs. Buchanan and Browne; Oldhall-street, in this town. The sale was numerously attended by some of the largest dealers and manufacturers in Yorkshire, and also by several of the small makers from the neighbourhortd • of Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, &c. The quantity offered amount= ed to upwards of 2500 bales, comprising Australian, Italian., German, and South American wools, most of which were sold at an advance upon the prices of the last sale. FIRE.—On Sunday morning, about half - past nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the timber stove of Mr, Morrisson, Park-road, and, as all the joiners' workshops immediately adjoined, great alarm was excited. The whole .neighbou'r.lam:d turned out t o . render assistance, and bv their e xert ions,. tne fire was kepi under till the engines arrived. Two iustantly got into play, and in about three hours all appreliensienuf danger was removed, the loss. being Very trilling. Mr. Morrison is insured in the Manchester and Royal Exchange.

John Holmes, who met his death on board the Ship Governor Troup, now lying in the Prince's Dock. From the evideriee of James Fielding, of Sowerby Br idge, near Halifax, it appeared that on Wednesday, the deceased and a Party of friends (of which witness was one) had come to Liverpool on a party of pleasure, and in pursuit of that object went to inspect the vessel General Troup, lying in the Prince's Dock. They had been down to the cabin, and were on the point of visiting the steerage, de ceased being about three yards in advance of the 'party, when they suddenly mis.sed him.
