'TUESDAY 3.HILYI\a, JULY 14, 1846. 'The town, we su , pret, will hail with acclamation Che effort which the li ec:ors, in co-operation with the Bishop, are making to renew the work •of Cll')rch ex!ciision in Liverpool.

The time, too, is surely auspicious for making adilinon to the rut que•ts already won.

But if twenty thousand pounds are needed for the purpose, let our aim be fixed upon twenty thousand pounds; and twenty thousand pounds, we doubt not, will be raised. The Ministry of Lord John Russ.7ll may now be regarded as formed. The bulk of its members have been returned by their various constituencies with out even the semblance: of an opposition being offered to them ; and in a few days we may expect to see the legislative machine set once more in mo tion and guided by Whig hands. In the meantime, we may not I e unprofitably employed in casting a brief glance over the materials, of which the minis try is composed, and, from the slight hints afforded us, endeavour to determine their most probable policy and measures. In all past attempts to conduct the government of Great Britain the Whig party have ever offended the country, and their usual supporters, by their exclusiveness, and the tenacity they have shown in confining their appointments within the circle of some half-a-dozen families. Nepotism has been their characteristic, and the idea of jobbing is ever inseparably connected in our minds with Whig ascendancy. Unhappily for himself, Lord John Russell has not been able to steer clear of this rock a-head. With two or three exceptions, and with a somewhat altered distribution of their offices, the present ministry is the resuscitation of the Mel bourne Cabinet. It has little of added popular ele ment; and absolutely nothing to win for it the increased confidence of sober and reflective politi cians. The enlistment of Mr. H. G. Ward, of ap propriation clause notoriety, suggests sad remin iscences of that infamous contract, by which the Church of Ireland was handed over for spoliation ; and the selection of an untried man in the person of Mr. Milner Gibson, remarkable only for one of the most glaring apostacies on record, for so impor tant an office as that of V ce-President of the Board of Trade, indicates, with tolerable clearness, that our commercial policy is to be henceforth dictated by those crude statesmen—the political tinkers, who have made the Chamber of Commerce of Manches ter an assembly, whose mention is the signal for inextinguishable ridicule and laughter. The remain der of the list is principally composed of the old hacks of past years, whose administrative incapa city has been again and again shown to be antipo dean qualities with their large pretensions. An administration thus composed can have in itself little pretension to permanence ; and the mode in which the responsibility for conducting the busi ness of the country has been distributed amongst its members is not calculated to inspire confidence in its efficiency. We cannot, for example, discover any great evidence of the fitness of Mr. Charles Wood for the office of Chancellor of the Exche quer. The only circumstance,in deed, which accounts for his being in office at all, most people imagine to be the accident of his relationship to Earl Grey. As little are we able to discern Mr. Labouchere's fitness for the Iri b Secretaryship. Lord Palmerston's appointment as Foreign Secretary is a thing of course; but how the objections of Earl Grey, by which the last attempt of Lord John Russell to form a ministry were defeated, have been got over the public are not informed. He was a dangerous member six months ago; but we should imagine that he could scarcely change his nature as easily as he changed his political opinions and alliances. Sir J. Cam ilobbouse's recommendation for the Board of Controul cannot be his former administration of the duties of that offi 'e, connected with which the nation has some unhappy recollections of disaster; and, with respect to a number of the small fry, their pretensions to their various offices are to be tried, their past senatorial achievements containing little to inspire confidence in their discretion or their ability. It cannot escape observation that, with such a ministry, in the present state of parties, the govern ment of the country must remain virtually in the hands of Sir Robert Peel and his little band of Con servative supporters. Ultra-Whig legislation is ob viously impossible, unless the late premier is pre pared completely to reverse the policy, and surrender the principles, of his past political life, and his ad mirers, the 120 gentlemen who so readily followed him in his free trade movement, are prepared fur-, ther to stultify themselves. IVI rT. 13. Macauley, in his speech to the electors of Edinburgh, stated truly enough that the Whig party was the only one capable at the present crisis of forming an administration; but even that self-satisfied gentleman would proba bly acknowfedge that his colleagues and himself can only govern permissively. Their measures, and the extent to which their principles shall be carried out, are laid down for them. They are to carry out the views of Sir Robert Peel. When they attempt to go further—when they start anything original, and, erntehet,, the ev-tninister will inter position. The little that we know, thus far, of their forth coming measures, affords abundant proof of this utter want of independence. In the purposed final settlement of the sugar duties, the ministry is only following to its conclusion the policy which dictated the surrender of protection to native industry. This is certainly to be the main measure of the present session. The only further hints which we have, as to coming measures, is the announcement that the Government is about to devote itself to measures of social amelioration. We may look for a sanatory bill, of which, no doubt, the bill of Lord Lincoln will be the foundation. We are to have an exten sion of the means of education for the people, upon the old Whig pattern, which has found such favour with Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham. We are not, at present, to h ye proposed to us the en dowment of the Popish Church in Ireland. That pear is not ripe. It will not go down with the dis senting constituencies any more than with the ma jority of the Established Church ; and is probably reserved for a future master stroke of Sir Robert Peel himself. The revenues of the Establishment in Ireland, however, are doubtless doomed to be cut down for educational purposes ; and Sir Robert will support the robbery upon the plea of " perfect equality," which he proclaimed in his retiring speech. We are also to have a new settlement of the law as between landlord and tenant in Ireland. It is a part of the contract with Daniel O'Connell, and accounts for his present wonderful good hu mour with the world, and for Dungarvon being left uncontested for Mr. Richard Lalor Shiel, notwith standing all the past threats of punishment for his recusancy. But beyon i what is now chalked out, Lord John and his colleagues are not to stretch their fingers. Like children, they are to he per mitted to ride a few of their favourite hobbies—to take a short airing upon the road of innovation ; but the ex-premier is to hold the reins and to carry the whip. - We do not urge the fact of this control being ex ercised over them, to induce any one of our readers to lay aside his, or her, fears of the result of Whig incapacity and want of constitutional principle. On the contrary, we would urge them to increased watchfulness and activity. The seeds of future dis aster may be sown, with a professing Conservative looking on approvingly, and ready, at the proper moment, to step in and consummate the ruin. The history of past inroads upon the constitution is in s.ructive as to the duty of loyal British men. Whig radical tampering with our institutions, and contem porary mismanagement of the financial affairs of the kingdom, have, in every successive advent of that party to power, paved the way to large en croachments upon the integrity of the former, and for the admission to office of a subtle and plausible minister, armed with powers dangerous to the liber ties of the people. Let us ask what circumstance it was which enabled Sir Robert Peel to betray the confidence of those who placed him in office, avow edly for the purpose of resisting the very measures which he has just carried. It was his overwhelm ing majority in Parliament, and the impression so generally entertained, that no other statesman pos sessed the ability to guide us out of the difficulties, into which the partial.adoption of Whig-radical prin ciples, and the incapacity of that party to administer 1 • I •••• • • • the financial affairs of the country, had brought us. The bulk of the Conservative portion of his support ers voted for his corn importation bill, to preserve such a minister in power. The nation had allowed itself to be pushed to the brink of a precipice ; and he alone was looked upon as the man who could carry us over; and if we fall asleep now—if we rest confident that no mischief is being done to our in stitutions, because we see a Conservative party ap parently controlling a weak and incapable adminis tration—the time will come again when —our affairs in utter disorder, the public mind exasperated, no sound constitutional leader to fall hack upon, and no strong constitutional power organised —we shall have to call i n th e a id o f s ome talented worshipper of expediency, to patch up our financial prosperity, and to appease disorder and discontent amongst the people, by further inroads upon the sources of the country's greatness and happiness. It is becoming more and more clear every day that there is something wrong in our present system of railway legislation, as there has been in all the previous systems, of which this is called an improve ment. It is difficult to find any two committees deciding upon the merits of rival schemes upon the same principles ; laying down the same rules as to evidence, or even determining, upon the same grounds, the question—what are rival schemes ? Committee A has a prejudice in favour of lines brought forward and proposed to be worked in con nexion with existing railways. Committee B. is in favour of the princiJe of separate management. Committee C. supports projects which compete with existing laws. Committee 1). thinks that cheapness of locomotion is not secured to the public by the formation of two lines where one, well worked, would provide the requisite accommodation. E. is in favour of cheapness of construction, at the expense of directness of route and perfection of gradients. F. would go as the crow flies, boring through hills and filling up valleys. We have some impressed in favour of lines which open out mineral deposits ; some which look at the accommodation of passengers as the only object to be cared for. We have the friends of a broad guage and of a narrow guage,— in short, the different views under which committees legislate, may almost be called Legion, and their de cisions are not unfrequently (mite incomprehensible. Independently of these differences of opinion, on the part of committees, as to what should be the re commendation of a railway scheme to the sanction of Parliament, there have now crept in political and even private influences which, at. least, greatly weaken the confidence of the public in the impar tiality of such tribunals. We see Members one day giving evidence in favour of a line which passes con • veniently through his property in some county, arid the next day, perhaps, deciding upon the merits of a line in which a member of the committee, which sate in judgment upon that evidence, is deeply in terested, or even directly mixed up. The bias as to the merits of this or that local scheme is not unfre quently a material portion of the claim of a Member to the support of his constituency. Lord Ebrington we saw, the other day, called to account before the electors of Plymouth, and threatened with an oppo sition, because of his advocacy of o e particular local project, in preference to its rival. His Lord ship's "influence" had been used in favour of the scheme less popular with his constituents ; and how used ? This is one of the mysterious processes which the public want to have expl..ined and got rid of. There is no such thing can enter• into the decision of a question tried by any of the ordinary constitutional tribunals of the land. What are the duties upon which provisional committee-men, lawyers, and secretaries, ordinarily employ themselves up to the moment of presenting their schemes before a committee? In securing this mysterious "influence " of noble Lords and honourable Members. We hear of Cornp vies who have strong Parliamentary influences—who can pass any kind of project, to the preference of rival schemes, however excellent, if brought forward by parties who cannot hobnob with this Peer or that Member, are unknown at Brookes's or the Reform Club, and cannot chat familiarly with half the Mem bers they meet in the lobby of the House. Of course we do not impute any malversation of their important offices to the Members of the Legis lature, or any one of them. The character of an English Peer, and of English Gentlemen, places them above suspicion of being knowingly corrupt. Like Caesar's wife, however, they ought to oczarpy a posi tion above suspicion ; and to enable them to do this they must be relieved from the great responsibility imposed upon them individually as Members of Railway Committees, with powers so large, and so capable of being worked to the advantage of friends or localities, as are wielded by these tribunals. Diffused, as railway property is now, through every part of the kingdom—held as it is by the nobleman, the merchant, the trader, and the smallest shop keeper—there are few men of the class from which our Legislators are chosen who have not either a direct or a collateral interest in some line, which may be presumed, unconsciously to themselves, no doubt, to bias their views with respect to the relative merits of co-operating or of rival lines. To extricate indi vidual members from this, their unfair position, and the difficulty into which it brings them, we should suggest the appointment of some capable and inde pendent Tribunal, over whose decisions, however, both Houses, in their collective capacity, might have an over-riding power. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT-THE MAYOR AND THE TWO ROMAN CATHOLIC B SHOPS. It is really irksome to have continually imposed on us the task of correcting the errors or the inventions of our contemporaries. We have in another column expressed • - ___V: tha Niaunr with respect to his alleged conduct in insisting upon the right to invite the Rev. Hugh M'Neile to the forth-com ing banquet at the Town Hail. Whilst writing the arti cle in question we were not informed of the facts of the case; but presumed upon the Mayor's character as a high-minded gentleman that the correct truth had not bee:, conveyed to our co temporaries. We have since been more fully informed, and proceed to give the genu ine version of the matter. A list of names of parties thought most eligible for in vitation was placed before the committee assembled, in strict privacy and confidence, to make a selection. Of course, none of these gentlemen anticipated that their re marks, upon the fitness of this or that individual, would be conveyed to the public through the press. After going through a portion of the list, including the two rectors, the Rev. Mr. Bold and others, the committee came to the name of the Rev. Hugh M'Neile. The M 'yor did rot at all, as represented, use anything like dictation as to the rev. gentleman. He stated that he did not see how his name could be omitted after his services to the charity, and left the matter entirely in the hands of the committee by whom his invitation was unani mously agreed upon. A number of the names were subsequently gone through, after which Mr. Rathbone astonished the majority of the committee by proposing that the two Roman Catholic Bishops of the district should be invited. The attempt to fasten on the Mayor alone the disinclination to invite these gentlemen, is shamefully untrue. A large majority of the committee ohjected to their invitation as Bishops; and his Worship frequently remarked, that he wished anything which fell from him to be viewed only as a suggestion, as he was desirous of merely carrying out the wishes of the com mittee. Mr. Rathbone was reminded that many members of the Roman Catholic church were already invited, in cluding Mr. Weld, Mr. Blundell, Mr. Chaloner, and others. Subsequently Mr. Rithbone attempted to mo dify his motion, by proposing their invitation as Doctors ; but, eventually, finding himself in so small a minority upon the point, he withdrew his motion. Mr. Earle's proposal of Dr. Raffles was dismissed, without anything like the feeling alleged being. displayed by the Mayor, who remarked that he had entertained the rev. doctor at his own table, and was always ready to receive him there. The rest of the statements promulgated with respect to this matter are mere absurdities, got up app tre , tly by some ingenious arid inventive brother of the quill, who, having perhaps got a wind of what had occurred, was good enough to supply the imaginative portion. One part of these statements, as to the immense number of returned cards and refusals to dine with the Mayor, which are said to be lying on his worship's table. is downright absurd. The inv;tat.ons are nut yet issued. The cards, we believe, are not yet painted Really, our contempotaries ought not to:degrade the press by these pure inventions, which bear so much the appearance of being intended to persecute a gentleman whose chief offence is that he is opposed to them in poli tics. Surely, if even his wor,hip were inclined to indulge his political feelings in the administration of the hospitalities of the Town-hall, or in the performance of his public duties, the Whig- Radical party are not the men who ought to complain. The few Whig-Eadical Mayors we have had in this town have not shown su c h very sensitive nicety upon these points. At the present moment we have before us an address of congratulation, issued by the Whig-Radical Mayor of 'Manchester to the people of England, upon the successful carrying of the late free trade measures. Doubtless, were any one of the same clique Mayor of Liverpool just now, we should have little of delicacy used in following the same, or even a more ob jectionable course. VISITORS AT CROXTETH.—The following noblemen and gentlemen are at present staying at Croxteth, and will remain during the week :—Hon. Mr. Balfour, Hon. Mr. Forester, Mr. Glynn, Sir W. W. Wynn, Piince George of Cambridge. Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Hornby, Duke and Duchess of Montrose, Capt. Rouse, Earl and Countess Eglington, Hon. Mr. Leslie. Lord Glands, Mr. and Mrs. J. Townley, Hon. E. G. Mostyn, Miss Hornby, Sir, R. Pigot, Bart. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will honour the Earl of Sefton with a visit at Crosteth this weak. His Royal Highness %%ill arrive, we believe, on Friday. ELECTION' OF COMMISSIONERS OF WALLASEY.-- The promoters of the Walla s ey Improvement Act have taken a very unusual and, as it appears to us, a very fair and impartial course, in omitting from such act any no mination of the existing commissioners to art under it, leaving them to be el-cted by the ratepayers. The follow. ing gentlemen therefore retire, as they would have done had no improvement act been past—viz., Mr. T. B. Hughes, Mr. J. North,.Mr, K. Edwards, Mr. Edwards, Mr. H. Meadows, Mr. J. Mawdsley, Mr. Thomas Dean and Mr. J. Bewley. The promoters, nevertheless, think it their duty to recommend a list, of which the following are the names:—Messrs. J. D. Maddock, Miles Barton, Thomas Dean, Thomas Lester, Liscard; and Messrs. John Mawdsley, Seacombe; Henry Mea. dows, Poulton ; and Evan Jones, Liscard. The re. spectability of these gentlemen will ensure them, we should suppose, the support of the ratepayers. The elec tion is to be held on Thursday next, at the Queen's Arms Hotel, Liscard village. CELEBRATION OF THE TWEIXTH OF JULY. Ysterday having been fixed upon for the celebration of the day of our deliveracce from Popery, by the defeat of James 11. at the Boyne, by William 111. of glorious memory, the Orange Brethren of Liverpool assembled at their various lodge-rooms, and proceeded to the :Monument, in London road, from whence they started at 9 a.m., and proceeded, accompanied by several bands of music, and a number of beautitully executed flags and banners, down London•- road, along Lime-street, Renshaw -street, Berry-st eet, Great George's-street, St. James's-place, Mill•4treet, Warwick-street, Windsor-street, Lipper Parliament -street, Smithdown-lane, to Wavertree, returning by Wavertree road, Edgehill, West Derby-street, and Pembroke-place, to the Monument, whence they separated to their various lodges. The proceedings, we are happy to say, were of the most orderly discipline throughout. After dining in their lodge-rooms, and going through the usual loyal toasts, the evening was spent by the brethren in great harmony. IIt:,NER OF LODGE 42.—T0 commemorate thT, glorious 12 h of July, this loyal and respectable body of Ormge men met yesterday evening, at Mr. Marshall's, Edge hill Coffee-house, where upwards of forty of the order sat down to dinner. The room was most tastefully de coratrd—fl•+gs emblematic of the order, and illustrative industry, were gracefully hung irom the ceiling and walls, and numerous vases of flowers were distributed on the tables in a manna r that geve a refreshing as well as a truly picturesque appearance to the apartment. The chandeliers were surrounded by evergreens. into which were gracefully entwined the choicest flowers of the sea son, not the least prominent of which was the magnificent orange lily. The chair, as a matter of course, was taken by the Master, and was filled in a manner alike creditable to himself arid the society over which he presided. He was supported on the right by no less a personage than the Reverend T. D. Gregg, of Dublin, whose enthu siasm and frequent remariis were not onI; entertaining but intellectual. The late Deputy Grand Master was also present, as were numerous other equally impor tant individuals. A party of glee singers, some mem bers of the body, attended on the occasion, and their efforts were such as to call forth most deservedly the enthusiastic plaudits of all assembled. The dinner was not only substantial but excellent, and to the worthy host we do no more than a duty when we say it not or ly comprised every variety of the season, but those varieties (unlike west dinners) were well cooked. After the cloth was removed, the toast of " lie Queen" was given from the chair, and followed by the glee, " God save the Queen." "The Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal Family" followed, and was most enthusiastically received. Glee—" The Two Roses." "The glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great and good King William, Prince of Orange." was then drunk in solemn silence. Glee—" Lovely Night." Toe toast, " The Grand Master, the Earl of Euniskiller," was received with the Kentish fire, and followed by the glee " Bright sword of Liberty." The toast of "The late Deputy Grand Master" was prefaced by a short address from the cbair, and followed by the glee, " Hail Smiling Morn." The late Deputy Grand Master briefly replied, but in that brevity there was an expression of uncorrupted feeling arid liberality that seemed to raise the already buoyant spirits of the party, and the en thusiastic cheers that followed but faintly illustrated the enthuastie joy it created. " The Worshipful Master of Lodee 42" was given from the vice-chair (which was most ably filled), and was ably responded to by the gen tleman proposed. Glee—" Spring's delights, " To the toast. " The Protestant Bishops anti Clergy of the Dio cese." coupled with the Rev. T. D. Gregg, the latter gentleman repled at length, and we are only sorry that the lateness of the hour prevents us doing that justice to to his address that its merits deserve—for in a word he illustrated the present state of Protestantism, and the duplicity of popery. He showed the firm course he had pursued, and the position to be taken, and displayed a knowledge, a tact :ld talent, that in a few words it is im possible to describe. • The address was loudly applauded throughout. Glee—" Good Night." Tire following toasts we e then given :—" The Town and Trade of Liver pool." Glee—'"f o all re d ies." "Our Visiting Friends." Glee—" Banish, 0 Maiden." " Lancashire Witches ;" and followed by a solo, with self accompaniment, " The Accomplished Young Lady." Numerous healths were afterwards drunk, and at a seasonable hour the company dispersed, each highly delighted with the hilarity of the evening and the loyalty that had been unanimously dis played. TI4 LIVERPOOL STANDARD. DINNER AT AIGDURTIT About sixty of the members of Lodge INTO. 24 assembled at the Aigburth Hotel for the purpose of dining together, to celebrate the 12th July. The dinner was provided in Mr. Prest's best style, and the desert, which was fresh from the garden, was most excellent Brother John Payne, W.M., presided, and the vice: chair w.ts occupi.td by the D.M. of the lodge. Af,er the cloth hal been removed the W.M. proposed the health of " her Mej s y t tn, so long a: she is Pro!estant," which was drank wan three times three.

BRAMLEY-MOORE AND THE ALBION'S DISCOVERI ES '1 his gentienm., Radical abuse, as witness the follotin f ik'' ItAVPP of Whig; to the Burgesses of Liverpool. in yesterday's Albion : " GENTLEMEN.-1 would recommend you to watch this gentleman pretty closely, for two reasons. First,—At a Free Trade meeting Mr. Moore was put forward to complain that a private compact was broken when Mr. Holland moved that CORN he included. Second,—He has received the thai,ks ot the warehouse owners for attending to their interest in that Council room, where your interests only sh'uld be consulted. A gentleman so recommended must not sit in the Mayor's chair. J. U. With respect to the first charge, we need only remark that the assertion that Mr. Moore was put forward at a " Free 'trade Meeting" for this or any other object, is Palpably untrue. That gentleman never attended a Free Trade meeting, or advocated Free Trade in sugar, corn, or any other commodity. With respect to sugar and coffee, he has always been in favour of a moderate protec tion to colonial interests; and with regard to corn, he has always advocated and still incline's to a fixed duty. The meeting referred to was a meeting of the Brazilian As , ociation, called for the special consideration of sugar and coff-e, at which it was distinctly uude•stood that the subject of corn would be out of place, and should not be introduced. Mr. Charles Holland intruded the corn qw.stion, and was of course, and deservedly, checked. The second is still more completely unfounded. Mr. Moore has not " received the thanks of the warehouse. owners." On the contrary, it is well known that the coarse which he has pursue.] has made him rather unp polar with that bode. But the animus of the letter writer creeps out sufficiently in the last paragraph of the. letter. Mr. Moore "must not sit in the Mayor's choir." Pet haps Mr. F)re Evans, or some of his clique, would like to sit there. The bills of exchange, railway shares, and other docu ments, which were ,-tnlen from the 'Royal Bank, I.iv,r -pool, in May last, have b'en restored to Mr. Hobler. The thieves have kept the money. GALLANT AND HUMANE CONDUCT.—On Sunday last, Captain Jannion, of the tug-boat Colchester, saw a young man who was drowning in the river, off the Albert I'ier, and immediately jumped into the water to his rescue, and succeeded, after great difficulty, in saving hi. , life. UNFORTUNATE MtsTAKE.—The successful candidate for the first of the members' prizes (Dissertation in Latin prose), at Cambri , 'ge, is Mr. J. J. Peroune, B A.. of Corona . Christi College. Owing to an error on the part of the examiners, in mening the mottoes, the successful dissertation was attributed to the wrong author. The latter repaired to Cambridge from a distant part of the country, and was present on Monday to recite his pro dultioit in the Senate-house, when the unfortunate mis take was explained, and the neces, , ary apology made to him, which he received with much good-humour and kindness. THE WOOLLEN CLOTHS OF YORKSHIRE.—The letter of Mr. William Beckett, M.P., addressed to the mer chants and manufacturers of the borough of Leeds, has excited considerable interest on the subjec s principally leferred to by the hon. gentleman—viz., tile comparative excellence of English and foreign woollen cloths, and the prospects et the manufacturers of that description of goods in the West-Riding of York hire. It is felt in many quarters that this branch of manufacture is in far from a satisfactory state, and that vigorous effirts should be made by all parties concerned, with a view to retain our lost pre eminence in the markets of the world. There is a strong impression that British woollen cloths cannot even retain their present position con p.!red with those of the F ench and Belgians, without such ffons being made. —Leeds Mercury. MR. RIPI.EY AND THE LIVERPOOL COMMITTEE FOR THE REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.—A lengthy correspon dence has just been published, which has taken place be tween the secretary of the Liverpool committee fee the registry of shipding and Mr. Ripley, upon the subject of an alleged imputation brought by the latter gentl,tnatt against the committee, of unfair preference in the classifi cation of a vessel—the Anne Armstrong—belonging to one of their OWII body. The committee, through their secre tary, required from Mr. Ripley that he should inspect the renoct of the survey of the stew!, in order to enable that gentleman to retract his imputation, if found unjust Mr, Ripley's reply was in the form of a demand to know the precise language used, the names of the parties who had reported the conversation, and when it had occurred. The secretary to the committee then spec'fied the par ticular nature of the charge; that it hadwns been talked ilu o b f li( o l n Y made in tne Underwriter s ' Rooms, 'Chance. and I, d been published in the London and the loc it papers. M . Ripley (still declined to take any steps, wit .out the names of the committee's i,formants being giv 'n ; and, after a further exchange of 1.-tters, with the sam- result, the following unanimous resolution of the committee was conveyed to Mr. Ripley : " That, as Mr. Ripley, in, his correspondence, conti nues to evade a d en i a l o f t h e Unwarrantable charge nye w s l fso ti r t: has been re'erred to, the vindication of the conduct of the committee will be sufficiently . attained bun b li v adi p c i aa blishing t t h h e e i c r o a r w re n si c ;o n n u d e r a n b c t e a , al i i n ai r t d o er th t e ha e t at t i h re e g p r u o the charge." VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT-ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE COMPANY AT THE ALBERT LUCK WA REHOUSES The preparations for the opening of this dock, and its magnificect warehouses, are now in progress ; and when completed, will he in every way worthy of the occasion, and present to his Royal Highness and suite, and to the company who may be favored with admittt nee within the walls of the Dock, one of the finest spectacles ever wit nessed in this or any other town. In d , scribing the works going on, we shall commence with the room set apart for the d&jeuner. This apartment, a warehouse room on the first story, is situated at the south-east corner of the wart-houses, and is 99 feet long by 88 feet wide. To the eye it appears a perfect square. Seven massy tables run down from end to end, with ample room between each for the ingress and egress of the guests, and the passing to and tro of the wa7ters, &c. At the head of the room, which is the south end, is a table raised considerably higher than the rest, designed fur the accommodation of Prince Albert, with his suite and the officials and most distinguished guests. At the north end are three short tables, and the sides are to be filled up with seats for those of the company for whom the tau originally suggested that a thott.and I,ersons might be ac commodated to partake of the tefreshtn , nts :.tanding. It has been considered better, however, that each party shall be provided with seats, which will . reduce the accommoda tion to that fur about 600 at the tables and 120 at the side seats. The entertainment will be entirely cold, and will consist o' fruits of the most recherclai kinds, paid., ice creams. ices, &c., provided with his usual excellent taste and liberality by Mr. Lynn, of the Wa.erloo Hotel. The wines, provided by the same gentleman, we need not say will be the best of their kind. For the proper storing and arrangement of these a most convenient apartment has been fitted up adjoining the banquetting-room. We have already given the dimensions of this apart ment ; and must bestow upon its decorations, &c., a few words of description. B •aring in mind its character as a warehouse, designed solely for the stowage of mer chandize, &c., it is one of the finest, for the purpose of any entertainment, to be fcund in the kingdom. To be perfectly fire-proof- and there is not a room in the whole of these spacious erections in which as much timber is used as would make a box of lucifers—it is built with brick arches running in compartments lengthwise from north to south, each compartment tied with an iron rod, and the bearings supported with iron beams. The latts r are painted for the occasion a stone -colour, with the capitols picked out in gilt. The brick arch-work is white, and the iron ties painted scarlet. The side-walls are being draped in flutings of alternate blue, white, and pink. The fluor is to be covered with criin , on cloth, as is the temporary staircase by which the Royal Guest and his suite will ascend to the chamber. The guers are to enter the room by the middle door, at the north end, and will enter the building through the granite-pillared g.te at the south end, near King's Dock. The Prince will enter the room by a plicate staircase, as we have already stated, after landing trout his yacht at the south-east comer of the dock. The accommodation for parties to witness the opening of the dock by the Prince and his suite in the Fairy. royal yacht, reflects the highest credit upon the lib , rality of the chairman and the members of the Dock Committee. The sheds cf the whole of the stately pile of warehouses on the south and west of the dock are bring fitted up with stages in an amphitheatrical form, eight stages in height, and each sta.:e a yard in breadth. These are strong as the warehouses themselves, each stage being floored by timber six inches in thickness, and thoroughly rested and secured. One entrance is at the east comer of the south end ; another at the south end accommodates as well a part of the west side. There is also an en trance on the west side and another at the north end of the same side. To prevent confusion, the tickets for each entrance, which we understand are the moat finished works of art, as are those for the dejeuner, will be issued in distinguishing colours. The seats for the dejeuner will be numbered to correspond with each ticket. '1 he plat forms round the dock,. it is computed, will accommodate easily about ten thousand persons, as may be conceived when we state that the length of the south side of the dock is about 150 !lints ; that of the west side about 200 yards ; and that there are eight platforms in each, those; platforms being a yard in width. In all. mi.: will make about a mile and a half of yard deep lineal standing space. When the Fairy enters the dock by the taut at the north western end, the spectacle presented by this magnificent mass of the elite of our fellow townsmen and town,- w,,men will be a sight such as few winces or kings can boast of in their dominions. Tne yacht will, on entering, proceed at half-speed along the quays thus lined with sreetators, and enter the breakfast-room at the south-east corner. We presume his Royal Highness, after the entertain ment, will be taken over the portion that is completed of the warehouses themielves. Anything more calculated to convey to his Royal Highness a sense of the energy of h s adopted fellow countrymen, and of the vast resources of this great port, we can scarcely conceive than an in spection of these noble edifices. PREPARATIONS AT THE SAILORS' HOME.—A rapid progress is being made With the preparations of laying the foundation stone for this building. The sides of the ex cavation are being surrounded with galleries, affording an excellent view of the proceedings. TLe bottom w►ll be apuropriated for the reception of the members of the Council and the Dock Committee, the Sailors' Home Committee, the Blue Coat Boys, the Freemasons and Odd t tot to.htl;l, ooA g oof-v v , end tho trates. TUB nanrvc.crON, The procession on the occision will consist. ur 6,000 per-ons, of whom 1,000 will be Freemasons, and 1,000 Odfife!lows. The boss of the Blue Coat Hospital will head the procession. Tne Freemasons will follow. Tnen will come the Corporation, and, immediaTely after, the Prince, in the state-carriage, drawn by six horses from the Royal Mews.

The Duke of Leinster, Grand Master of the Irish Free masons, will, it is exp cted, be also present; and Lord Comber mere, Earl Ellesmere, and Earl Zetland are con fidently looked for to bead their loyal body the English Freemasons, who are to make one of the most magnificent demonstrations ever witnessed in this or any other town. The following route of the procession was agreed upon at a meeting of the Committee yesterday, and our readers may depend on its accuracy, as we publish it on au thority :—To start from the Judges' lodgings, nrocei d along St Anne street and the line of streets to Mount pleasant; up Mount-pleasant to Abercromby-square ; alorg the west side of that square and Bedford-street; down F ner-street to Catherine -street; down Sandon terrace to Rodney-street; down Leece street, Bold street, Cburch.street, Lord-street, and South John-street to the site of the S a il or ' s H ome. , Tue silver trowel with which his Royal Highness will bed the foundati, n stone of the Sailors' Home will be massi,e and of elegant design. We have seen at the (-stab i,hment of r. Dismore, who will manufacture it, a beautiful drawing of the town of Liv, rpool, with its noble aver, shipping, &e., as seen from the Cheshire side, by our townsman, Mr. John Nl`Gabey ; and from this the back of the trowel is to be engraved. The buildings. ships, and other of j eta are finely and minutely delineated ; and amongst the iessels seen near the Lancashire side the artist has introduced a beautiful and necessarily miniature portrait of the royal yacht Fairy, as she will appear when conveying his !loyal Highness and suite along the river to view the docks, Sct!. This is reduced from a fine coloured drawing of the Fairy, taken for the purpo , e, and witty', we have also seen a: Mr. Li•more's.

THE WAR IN KAFFIRLAND (From the Second Edition of the Morning Herald.) We have just received ('ape of Good Hope papers td the 16th of May inclusive, from which we regret to learn that the Kaffirs continued their depredations, though with but partial success. Tne settlers have neither security for their cattle nor for their lives ; and it is melancholy to think of the de plorable condition to which they are reduced for want of a powerful force to drive the Kaffir tribes beyond the boundary, or at least to keep them in complete check. Some sharp skirmishes had taken place between the British troops and the enemy, in several of w hick the latter were valiantly repulsed. Very little loss of life was sus= tained in these several affairs, but the destruction of pro perty was immense. LONDON CORN EXCH aN3E -YESTKRDAV Since our last report, a favourable change has taken place in the weather, which is nowall that could be desired for bringing the crops to maturity, and exercised its usual influence on the minds of the millers. To-day the supply of English Wheat was s I short which sold slowly at a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter, 'oreign lost the firmness that was perceptible on Friday, and but little changed hands at the turn rather in favour of buyers. Flour continues in fair request, at former prices. We have a large arrival of foreign Oats, several cargoes of which got in this morning, and a few Irish. Foreign are again 6d. per qr. lower, but 'fine fresh corn is so scarce that needy buyers are compelled to pay nearly late rates. In other grain there is no variation to notice. -YETRTIDAY SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET The beef trade was in a very depressed state, and the prices ob tained on Monday last were with difficulty supported, the highest fizure for the test Scots not exceeding 3s. ►ad. per 81b, and at which a clearance was not effected. The numbers of Sheep were again very extensive, whi'e very few of them were beneath the middle quality. Pi irrr old Downs sold steadily at full prices, and all other kinds supported pre vious quotations. Not Withstanding the supply of Lambs was large, the Lamb trade ruled steady, at last week's currencies. Calves, the ntiinber of which was good, move off steadily, at late rates. In Pigs, next to nothing was done, Earl Grey, as Principal S cre ary c f State for the Colonial Department, has appoiuted the Hon. Capt. Grey to be his private secretary. On Friday, the Oriental Club gave a sumptuous enter tainment to lorahim Paella; the Earl of Auckland Lord John Russell has appointed Lieut.-Colonel the Hon.

On Sunday, a fire burst out in the wood of Valmy, and continued burning until the next day. Ab,.ut eight hec tares (about 20 acres) of timber were consumed. The fire is attributed to malevolence, as this is the second time that the wood of Valmy has been set on fire within a few months.—Galignani.

The vault in which the bank treasure and papers were deposited, fortunately remains entire, and during the whole period of danger was guarded by a body of soldiers, this assist ance having been allowed by Colonel Law, at the ma nager's request. On opening the vault, the whole of the contents were found uninjured, and were removed to go vernment House, the governor having granted the use of a room, where the business has since been carried on.— Shipping and Mercantile Gazette of July 4th, 1846. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—TRURO, Friday, July 10.". Tile most tearful mining calamity ever known in this county occurred yesterday afternoon in East Wheal Ross lead mine, in the parish of Newlyn, eight miles from this place. A thunder storm of unprecedented violence, at tended with a flood which resembled rather the bursting of a waterspout than the heaviest rain, broke over the n-ighbourhnod. The torrents pouring from Newlyn. Downs collected towards the valley where the mine is si tuated, and rushing in torrents down the shaft quickly filled every level.
