FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 22, 1835. By the Isabella, Captain CAMPBELL, which arrived here yesterday, we have papers and letters from.Deme rara to the late date of the 19th. April. The conduct of the Governor and his stipendiaries is still the subject of much unpleasant discussion. The refractory spirit of the apprentices had been curbed by forcible means on some plantations, and affairs, speaking by recent comparison, look more favourably. . 'We beg leave to call attention to two poweifolly. written letters addressed by the Earl of WINCIIILSEA to the protestants of Great lititaid, and which will be found in another page. The experience, •consistency,. and talents of the noble earl well quaiify him to speak to his countrymen. at the present crisis ; while the strain 'of piety and scriptttal-sentiment which pervade his ad dresses must recommend them to the attentive perusal of every sincere Christian. • We have neither space nor time at present to provoke discussion upon the principle assumed by. Lord WIN CIIILSEA; that it is the duty of the British protestants, for the reasons assigned, to expel the Roman catholics _from the British parliament. Men who cannot be trust-• ea on their oaths ought not to be trusted in any legi§la live capacity whatever; but as to the practical part of this principle— TILE TIME IS NOT. YET, That it will conie, we have no 'manner of doubt whatever. Dire necessity—the last security for our lives and liberties— the resort of men in extremity contending for their holy religion, their property, and all that is dear. to them— 'ill yet enforce this exclusittn against the koman catho licsat least those of Ireland.. From those of England we have nothing to fear. The Dublin Evening Mail of Monday last contained. the fpllowing , • The direet hand-lrather , than the secret influence.. of. Mr. 'O'Connell, is apparent in every appointment made by govern ment, and we will. confess that we entertained Much greater fears of the mischief that would accrue ;,), the exercise of this power,' when [relent was yielded to (he managereent of the • Ilemagogne, than we had from - any legislative enactment, the -result of open and free • - 7. • gergearit Greene—confessedly one of the ablest lawyers 'at the bar, and one of the most respectable members of the profession, has been removed—,dismissed is the phrase of the Court Journal, as the law adviser to the crown—an t office which he for many years filled with credit, character, and honour; and a person- named Brady appointed in his place, of whom we never heard, except as counsel to Mr. O'Ceuu ell in his elec tioneering contests. Mr. liu:!sori replaces Mr. Martley as assistant to ihe law . officers; ttudif we greatly mistake not, this gentleman's name has been heard of, too, in conjunctiuu with elections, and distinct from the bout: published in his name. Sir Stewart-Bruce—the kind, the amiable, the polished man, -and perfect gentleman, has been rudely and discourteously dis missed from it he situation of Master of the Cereioonies, to make , way for one of Mr. O'Connell's hangers• On. 'Tice work goes on without any delay ! No sooner is Lord MutPRAVE in Dublin than he begins to act upon his instructions. " I must be obeyed !" exclaimed the dictator, glaring' down 'upon the baboonity of Lord JOHN, when they had settled' the treaty ; " Mind !" said he, with a savage smile, "I must be obeyed in all that re lates to office and patronage in Ireland." "You shall be obeyed," answered the pigmy statesman, looking like the blank page in Tristram Shandy. • The law. appointments, we have already seen, were given to nominees of O'CONNELL—Lord PLUNOTT was retained upon 'sufferance—Lord WELLESLEY, being too unbending, was rejected—but it is not in the higher of. fices only where O'CONNELL is to, exercise control. He will not suffer a turnspit to remain in the kitchen of the k Castle of Dublin who has not paid homage to the dicta tor,,or made his peace with his highnesS's father con fessor. No matter what the situation is, the, person who 6H~ It muSt, in some way or other, be a creature of him whom the King of England, not many months ago, as advised by Lord GREY, denounced from the throne. The office of Law Adviser of the Crown has for several years been filled by Mr. Sergeant GREENE, a gentleman of un-; stained honour and acknowledged talent ; but be is re-, rooted to make way fir a Mister BRADY, whose name has never been heard of except- in connexion with some underhand electioneering proceedings of the demagogue. .Alr. HunsoN, the Deputy Law Adviser, is also super seded, to inake way for some other Mister BRADY, as un known and as respectably employed as the other. Even the Master of the Cerembnies at the Castle Court, who. has never been-accused of partypredilections, and wltbs - e • office is anything but a political one, is also turned adrift, at a moment's notice, to make room fo-r some bell-ringer of a mass-house, or some professor of dancing in the • °'CONNELL family. Merrily then the work goes 'on ; the Saxon is now fairly on the rack; O'CoNNELL has it all his own way ! We know not what. effect this intelligence will produce when it is Cominunicated to . the People of England. They , perhaps, in the first burst of surprise, call to • - Mind Lord MELBOURNE'S solemn.declaration that he had not made any terms with the demagogue, and that be, the prime minister, did not know whether his govern- Merit was or was not to receive the support of O . CON. NELL. Englishmen will reflect upon that declaration with feelings of astonishment in the first instance, and, Perhaps, of sorrow and indignation soon after. They • will naturakk,Ny, Lord MlitnounNE could not have de ceived us intentionally—he is of too proud and noble a natur e to palm a deliberatp falsehood upon his country• men --he would disdain the mean ambition of making himself responsible for a delegated trust, or of gratify ing aby resentment at the expense of his fame and cha racter, or that would be iepugnant to the honour of his s overeign and country. No, the generous people of E ngland, who know nothing of mental reservation, who lave pot been exposed to the frauds and artifices of a diii horxest priesthood, who respeetlttuth; and would shudder at the bare idea of violating an oath—thev, will not con !lnn any man or minister upon mere suspicion. They 0 1, according - to their habits of r e flection and their se nse of justice, assume that Lo r d MELBOURNE is inne ce‘nt, as be declared himself to be, o f an y com pa c t with C ONNELL. But they will come to thi s conc l us i on , • that, being innocent, he has been most shamefully and 4ilfattionsly imposed upon—that he ;s the dupe of some heartleSs colleague, or of sume subordinate member of his administration. This, we admit, is a very painful situation for any man to be placed in. Even if the deceit practised upon him were more harmless than it really is, still that it can be practised upon him with impunity is a circumstance which tends to•lower Lord. MELBOURNE in the estimation of hiS Sovereign, and degrade him in his own eyes. The noble lolcannot now pretend to be unconvinced that-the whole government of Ireland is in the hands of O'CoN NELL. Tire evidence of his senses speak unanswerably against his hopes. The deed is done, no matter by whom. The compromise is made in bold defiance of his declara tion and conviction. His wcrcl is not questioned, but his testimony is shaken, because his power is overruled, and his protestations are accounted of no value by those with whom he acts. If this be the power of a prime mi nister of England in the person of Lord MELBOURNE, who would not rather envy the power of his lordship's gamekeeper, or his lordship's groom ? • Put it will, probably, be said on the other side, that the determination of ministers to remove from their pre sent situations all the higher as well as subordinate of ficers Of the government in England, Scotland, and Ire land, is no proof.that any compact has been entered into with the head of the Irish tail. This line of defence will not bear examination. We see no removals made in Ireland except in favour of the needy, obscure, and cha racterless partizans of the demagogue. If no compact is made, how is it that none but the nominees of O'CoN NELL are preferred ? The English radicals are not re ceived into favour. Every change is made expressly - Tor the creatures of O'CoNNEr.A... MY. WIATTLE HARVEY gets nothing. Honest . JOSEPH HUME is.nOt consulted. No spare corner is found for Mr. Agent ROEBUCK, of Ca nada. Mr. Surgeon WAKLEY is not provided for. ! The worthy Sir JOHN KEY has the door ~slapped in his face: Mr. WARD, the originator of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S ap. propriation clause, is forgotten like an old' alreanack. Mr. EWART, of Liverpool, contrary LO the expectations of his friends, has not yet been appointed Vice-President of the - Beard of Trade. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE, the representative of the metropolitan dissenters, draws no salary on quarter-diiy: As for the Scotch radicals, they are as much overlooked as if, they could not safely be en trusted ivith a gauger's respOnsibiities or a kitchen .maid's perquisites. All this, which to us, is the cause of deep anguish, proves something more than the cold disparagement in which these honourable radicals in this island are held. It shows that O'CONNELL can command that which they dare not aspire to ; . that he has at his foot what is not al lowed to enter into their heads; in short that be. orders, and that they submit. Nay, more; we have not a doubt but that if O'CONNELL were to insist that one and all of the English and Scotch radicals should be drummed out of the country and deported to Botany Bay, Lord-MEL BOURNE would be pleased to forget that he had given any . orders to facilitate their immediate expatiiation. If we treat the subject with more levity than some of our friends may think justified by the circumstances of the case, we reply, that having perfect confidence in the: spirit, the loyalty, and the protestant principles of the people of England, we are rather pleased than otherwise at this gross and unhallowed preference given to the papists of Ireland. It will work if it has not already worked its own cure. It will open if it has not already , opened the eyes of the people of England. They will never submit to be ruled and trampled upon by a popish faction, the nominees of the popish prieats in Ireland— by men whom all the honourable of the Roman'catholics of England repudiate and detest--=by a leader whom the . Duke of NORFOLK and twenty-three other wliigs deem to be unfit to pea member of BaooxEs's—who consider him nothing' more than an impustor,--who fast bringing their religion, their priesthood, and their connexion into contempt. All this, we may rest assured, will work for good; On the ether hand, the sweeping of the public offices of all old servants who do n;>t profess the opinions of O'CONNELL and Lord Jolts RUSSELL is one of those re forms which we cannot Sufficiently admire. Turn them-• all • out, gentlemen of the • movement ! You aili (• , 0 move yourselves. Lord Malllammea-,od ministration is . not worth a month's purchase. In the name of liberality give, O'CoNNtm, all hErwants. Fill. his maw to repletion ; pour into his cup until it runs over; give to the honourable bandit and, hiS crew full swing ; let. the mob of Dublin, with party colours flying and rebA ensigns floating, with mottos of liberty studded on them as thick as the stars upon an American banner, follow in the wake of the new Lord Lieutenant; let all this be done, and more if necessary, but remember ova TURN COMES NEXT, and come it will before many ,d a y s .. • • • It would not surprise us to hear of Lord MELBOURNE'S resignation before this day week. That of Mr. .SPRING RICE is already ttne,:lened. He knows, as well as we do, from what took place in Cambridge within .the last six days, that his supposed connexion. with O'CONNELL will, if persisted in, ruin him in that borough for ever. He_ is, therefore, in . this position—if he perseveres he looses Cambridge—if he retires froM the atiministi:ation he will redeem himself—if not he has no other-chance of securing a . seat but by throwing himself into the arms of pollution, and becoming a wretched dependant of the tail, who must of course hate him because he is a' gen , tieman. But whatever compromise may be made, Lord MEL BOURNE'S cabinet is already prostrate in the mire before O'CONNELL. The slime of the Irish serpent has passed over it, and it is odious in the eyes of the British nation. All its tyrannical oppressions —all its invidious removals —all its marked insults heaped upon public men; who- in the offices of state, and without respect to party, had ho nourably performed their duty—all these will Yedound to our advantage. when the change comes. They have set the example—they have made a clean sweep— they have made' competence subordinate to patronage —and have, for the sake of influence, dune unpardon able injury to deserving men: We shall have the re nown of reversing their decrees, expelling the paltry creatures - they have patronised, and of giving new life •and blood to all the public offices..• Lord MELBOURNE never stood high as a public man—be never distinguished himself in either house of parliament—he played a very mediocre part .wider Lord • GREY—and, in Derbyshire, after his distoissalhythe King, he played a paltry part in a radical farce.'which did not raise him in, the estimation' of gentlemen: teepacoadnct.we have treated pothetica4.llismot for us to run the hazard of drawing concluSions. They are obvious to all our readers. 'He must retire. Lord ALBEMARLE, the reluctant keeper of the King's stud, cannot save him. Lord WEiLEsLEr's silence does him.. no good. Lord BROU GRAM, although the correspondent of the King, is denied the power of aiding him. The treatment the learned ex-chancellor has received is calculated to induce that noble personage to give the ministry •a passing kick when falling. He .has favoured it with some pugnacious touches of this kind already. Lord LANSDOWNE has felt them, so has Lord DUNCANNON, and so has Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Lord BROUGHAM knows his friends, and he treats them accord ingly. • Since the above was written we have received the Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday, which supplies the following additional information. Mr. RICHARD SHELL, II is said, is to be appointed Under Secretary in the room of Sir WILLIAM GOSESTT, whom O'CONNELL refuses to tolerate on any terms. Mr. Nicholas Purcell O'Gorman has been appointed Chair man of the Coue•y of .Kilkenny. The . son of Lord Edward Fitzgerald has been appointed Gentleman Usher in Lord Mul grave's Household, vice Sir Stewart Bruce. Mr. O'Gorman was secretary to the late• Ca,tholic.Associa tion ; but, as he has subsequently conducted himself with more mod4ratioo than his brother agitators, we. do not choose to resuscitate the memory of that which led to his retiroizent from our university in 1798. Lord Edward Fitzgerald at the'same time earned for himself the attributions of a traitor and a rebel, and exposed his children to the brand of attainder. Accident saved him from a public atonement for his crime; and the cle mency of George the Fourth restored his family to their forfeited •rights. But in these facts we Fee no claim nn a legitir;ate govern ment for its patronage and favour. Bow many of thole men and of their suns, who, at the petiod referred to, suffered both in THE LIV ERP OOL STANDARD. n arson and in property in defence of their king, on behalf of t i eir country, sod in.the maintenance of the British connexion, now- lafiguish in'.'penury at home, unnoticed or unrewarded, or hue been obliged.to seek in foreig.a lands the protection for life, libel ty, and fortune which an ungrateful policy denies to them in the cot k ntrl saved by their exertions! How strange is the reverse ! Traitors, and the sons of trai tors, (or those who were so when high treason was high treason,) are cherished, 9,nd sit in the high places of - the land; whilst nothing but agitation and resistance to the lawful authorities seems required as a qualification for honour and preferment. But, supposing either treason to be no crime, or the overt . acts of 98 to be no treason, how shall the state now answer to the children and relatives of those who, at that fatal period, laid down their lives for their country by an unjust decree of the laws ? Spit of Jackson ! and ye shades of the murdered Sheares !—hear it not in your limbo of martyrdom that . your crime was venial, and, had ye lived in later days, might have earned you the civic crown of ministerial patronage ! Let the atanes of the unfortunate Robert Emmett be appeased; for the days are come when a congenial spirit may do justice to his memory, and inscribe upon his tomb the honours due to. an unsuccessful patriot! What may we next expect? to be adopted; and of th6,fiats alreol'y occupied, Trimpoi-e'bld That Jack Lawless, who, by this time, is nearly qualified for the office, be raised to the judicial bench? And that Arthur Condorcet O'Connor be recalled from exile, and appointed lord lieutenant of the county of Roscommon? As strange things have come to pass. Since the foregoing was written, we have heard.tbat Sir 'Wil liam Gossett is certainly to be sacrificed to the faction, and Mr. Sheil ! to be appointed Under Secretary in his place! This is " going the whole hog ! ! 1" The electors of Strolid have favoured the world with their construction of the uses and advantages of the re (Orin bill in giving the franchise to a constituency which never possessed it before, and it is a curious oile. Had Stroud been an old borough it might have been excused on the ground that old habits of corruption and Venality, -bred in the bone and consecrated by ages, are not to be removed in a single day. Stroud, however, .is ,a new 7 made borough, anti its electors, never having touched base bribes, might have been presumedto be' as pure as new-born infants. But; truth to tell, the electors are for the most part Weavers, fullers, clippers; dyers, and other artisans, and, as if intuitively, they are as servile and corrupt as if they had served an apprenticeship to • bribery for fifty years. _ They have returned Lord Joini RUSSELL at the bid ding of Colonel Fox, the latter being just as little known to them as the former. A certain junto rule the town, and the ten pound householders have no more will of their own than the shuttle in their looms, or the tongs by their firesides. CAVALRY BARRACKS,IN LIVERPOOL. We think the hotel and tavern.keepers, as well as the licensed victuallers generally, of Liverpool, have reason to complain that there is no cavalry barracks in this town. This is almost the only large town in England where there is no accommoda tion for that description of force, and the consequence is that the tavern-keepers and publicans are exposed to considerable trouble and not a lit* expense in providing lodgings and sta bling for the numerous squadrons and detachments which are constantly passing through Liverpool on their way to and from Ireland. But it is not the inhabitants of the town alone who are exposed to these annoyances. The soldiers themselves have to endure various vexatious in procuring proper billets. It is a great hardship on a soldier, who, after dismounting from a long march, or landing from a tempestuous voyage, is obliged to wander through the streets of an extensive town in severe wea ther, hunting out the place where he is to be located for the night. It is not always convenient to provide with a bed, and the consequence is, he enters into a comprumise.with his landlord, and proceeds in search of other-quarters. While thus ,walking from place to place, he injures hio clothing and accou trements, incurs expense, and is exposed to, all the temptations of inebriety. Surely it would be a great improvement it these men, on en tering the town, could be conducted at once and directly to a comfortable barraCks, which might be kept in good order at a very triflin,g expense. 'Such an arrangement would be advan tageous to both parties. It would relieve hotel and tavern keepers and all publicans of a vexatious tax, and a very trou blesome duty, and it would spare the soldier much vexation and unnecessary as well as unprofitable labour. We hope the authorities will give some attention to this Sub eject. There is no reason why' Liverpool should not be provided , with cavalry barracks as well as other tuwus. . Who Colonel Fox is they can only know by report. That he is the son of Lard HOLLAND is generally credit ed; that he calls himself a reformer is not denied; that, he is married to one of the King's daughters is believed; but beyond this Colonel Fox is as much unknown to the inhabitants of Stroud as is that particular spot in Felix Boothia, where Captain Ross's nephew discovered the domicile of the magnetic influence. Colonel Fox, as a public man, a senator, a soldier, or as an orator or pub licist, is utterly unknown. He can know nothing of broad or narrow cloth beyond what is told him by his Bond-street tailor. As to weaving, he never heard of it except. in the Fives Court. That such a man should be selected by a new-made borough to represent a manufac turing community is the severest satire which could be passed upon the reform bill. They might with as much consistency and equal utility have sent a golden fleece to the House of Commons, and called that thing of wool or wood their honourable representative. All this is bad enough, and reflects indelible disgrace .upon the electors of Stroud. But worse than this re mains to be told. They elect Colonel Fox; but where did Colonel Fox come from? From Tavistock, from the Duke of BEDFORD'S nomination borough. Here, then, is proof of a connexion between Fox and Lord JOHN— Arcades Anzbo!—sweet brothers both in the cause of reform and corruption. Lord JOHN is beaten in Devon shire, and Colonel Fox retires to make way for him in Stroud. A question here arises—Was Colonel; Fox, as nominee, merely „Lord JOHN'S warming-pan ?or was Lord JOHN simply the protege of Colonel Fox ? We care not what answer is returned; for one or other of these questions must be anvipred in th.o Here, then, we have a beautiful illustration of the working of the reform bill. Here .is a representative virtually. without a constituency; for the electors, it would appear;either returii a-man whom they know no thing at all &iota, or they return him at the personal solicitation of Lord JOHN, neither caring what' he is, ,where he.coilles from, or what he does! But let us assume that Colonel Fox was returned upon his own merits,. that he had gained friends, and was highly esteemed in the borough of Stroud. So far well. But if so, and supposing him to be an independent man, and not under certain obligations to Lord'JoHN RUSSELL, how ate. we.lo account for his retirement in favour of Lord JouN at a moment's notice ? Colonel Fox could not transfer his popularity to the noble lord. He could not, on a short notice, compel the electors to respect him as they did their retiring member. No, ,there is some thing beyond this which requires to be explained. It remains to be seen what is the nature of the bonu..v . Which the colonel is to receive for the transfer. We shall watch this gentleman closely. He is a Colonel who, we will venture to'say, never *smelt powder burnt behind a ball in the whole course of his life. No doubt he expects preferment. He took Stroud, no matter by what means ; lie delivered it over to his Majesty for the benefit of the whips; and he placed Lord JOHN RUSSELL in it as go vernor fur the time being. For this the gallant colonel is entitled to some reward, and itis Lord JOHN'S duty to take care that he does receive it. As for Lord JOHN RUSSELL, he has fallen quite as far as we, without malice, could wish him to fall. He sits for Stroud, either as the representative of himself, or the representative of Colonel Fox, which is as bad. The author of the reform bill, the would-be spoliator of the Irish protestant church, the obedient slave of O'CONNELL, dared not show himself in any respectable town or county in England. It would have been quite as manly had he entered the house through Ta%:§toek at once. His as sertion that Stroud is an independent town is only ludi crous. An independent town represented by Colonel Fox ! What next?

DISTRICT PROVIDENCE MEETING. The annual meeting of the friends of the District Providence . Society was held in the Savings' Bauk, Bold-street, on Tuesday- last—the Rev. Augustus Campbell in the chair, who bad •con seined to fill the office in the absence from town of the mayor, who intended to have presided. The meeting was most respectably attended. J. Irving, Esq. in the absence of the treasurer, having .exhibited the yearly accounts of the society, the Rev. Mr. Laurence read the report of the committee for ISA being the, fifth resort of the society, from which it appeared that the deposit syStem continues to increase in usefulness. The sum deposited this year amounts to £13,245 6s. 6'd.; that of last year was £10,396 4s. lid., presenting an increase of £2,849 2s. Ld. The premiums on aeposits last year amounted to £40 ( .1 4s. 1-id.; the preleium this year, at a'reaticed rate, since January last, amounts to £a3 4s. id. The reduction of the rate of premium was rendered ab so l u t e l y necessary by the want of funds, and would have been expedient, even if necessary, as the object is, to teach the labouring classes to save, with a view to 1 . .-take them selves independent, and nut with a view to profit by the charitable contributions of others. The largest number of depositors. in any month last year was 5481 ; the largest nuniJ;er this year is 6472, presenting an in- Crease of 901. It is to be regretted that only £132 Bs. bit. has been paid into the Savings' Bank, and so actually.saved; the remainder having b een repa id i n the course of the year. Still, however, the money was laid by in times of full work, for the contingencies of rent, winter fuel, aid Clothing: A_ habit of saving has been commenced in families habituated to spend as it came. Some must have been rescued from the consequences of vice and prodigality: 'the friendly communication. between depositors and visitors has been kept up, and great good has unquestionably been done.—lu the relief department a dimiuu tion is observable; the sum distributed last year amounted to £791; this to £473 17s. 4d. The number of families received last year was 2978; this year 3591, whereof 1669 were Irish. The establishment in - Frederick-street, for affording.the pool' a room furnished with implements, and provided with materials for washing clothes and bedding, particularly in cases of in fectious disease, continues to meet with the a pp ro b a ti on o f t h e committee. The visitor reports that fever hiss been much less prevalent in the neighbourhood than formerly; and that not one case of fever has occurred in the families which have been in the habit of washing there. The committee are so well satin ; fed with this establishment, that they very much wish similar tines could be set up in other districts. • ,The committee having reported their satisfaction at the bene ficial tendencies of the society, niust now proceed to express their deep regret at the very inadequate support it has received. The subscriptions- only ~ aieuatiat- •£1066 Its., which ; in a wealthy commercial neighbourhood, containing a population .brobablv of 220,000 souls, they really think, and hope they may eau, without offence, ig a very inadequate sum, and much less than might be . etpected (coin such a community. It it is con.; - sistent with a wise and enlightened policy to suppress mendi city and discourage vagabond pauperism, and promote system atic charity, it surely must be the wisest and most enlightened practice to 'abstain resolutely- and systematically from all casual alms giving to unkown or imperfectly known beggars, and con fide the distribution of such . alms to a society whose practice of vigilant inspection and general knowledge of the frauds of men dicants, render imposition not impossible certainly, but still very diffiCult and very rare. The committee earnestly entreat th e public to increa s e their subscriptions (as such increase will be absolutely necessary to keep up the premium on deposits), and to abstain as a point of conscience from every species of alms giving to unknown beggars. Again, the committee have to express their deep regret, mor tification, and disappointment at the diminution of visitors, without a sufficient number of which the society must be , crippled in its powe.rs of usefulness. The number of visitors' last year was 4::18, this year only 333, showing a decrease of 105. The number of subdivisions visited last year was 597, this year 51 6, showing a decrease of 51. This is much to be lamented, and the committee, from past experience, beg to express their opinion, that for the collection of deposits, and all particulars connected with the househrald troubles and difficulties of the poor, female visitors arc pecul;arly effective, and that no lady need be apprehensive of undertaking such a truly amiable and Chi istian employment. Like the sisters of charity in a foreign communion, a very little discretion will enable them to walk uninjured through the dwellings of the poor ; and with that readiness to minister to the sorrows of their fellow-creatures, which . may alm o St be ca ll ed an i nst i nct o f t hei r nature, they may with proper caution bear their part in speeding the inter courses of Christian charity through districts seemingly in habited by th e w ors t an d most m i sera bl e of mankind. In all cases, .wherefetnaleAtive expressed a willingness to visit for the collection of deposits, - the agent has ii.ceived instructions to go before them and direct them what parts to visit and what to avoid.. That there is nothing 'visionary or enthusiastic in thiS ex: pectation, actual experience has fully proved:. A lady, who, from her station in society, was broughtup amidst all the indUl gencies and refinements of wealth, sod who receives the con tiibutinns of 111 depositors, and visits from 60 to 70 families,, says, that the time required - seldom exceeds three hours a week, and that one hour weekly would suffice to visit 20 or 30 neigh bouring families. - Among many other interesting observations contained in her re p or t as to t h e unquestionabl benefits at tending the systetu of visiting, she says, " there can exist but one opinion as to the moral advantage to the poor, arising , from a more enlarged iuterceurSe with the wealthier classes' The first symptoms are - perceived in a desire to stand well in the eves of those whom they qmisider as their superiors." "Few people," she adds, " who. iiave health and some leisure would. refuse to lend their aid as visitors,•coUld they once he convinced how little trouble they might . pursue the employment for oue day in each week." 'The committee feel sure that they need not add anything to this practical evidence of a tried and ex perienced Visitor,•and hope that they need only say to each oue whom it concerns,. " Go, and do thou likewise." having thus. freely, but they hone not offensively, expressed their feelings With regard to those who have not littherto .sup ported, the society, they must eonclude by returninff their most grateful acknowledgments to all who hare, either by their money or their inure valuable personal exertions. • To the visitors in. .particular their wirrinest thanks are, dne t for their pecsevering co-operation in the thbourollovC., and: hopinfr; for the continuance of their aid, they Commit the society to-taut kind and super intending Provi•;ence, whose merciful care , has favoured it w ith the success which has hitherto attended it, and on whom alone they rely for a continued blessing on its future endeavours. ••• The Rev.

GENTLEMEN,—It would go a great way to the forwarding your interest if a short petition were sent from here to the Commons House of Parliament, asking for the substitution of use uniform duty, instead of the present graduated scale of tax on tea, which works grievously to the merchant, and injuri ously to the consumer. A:unifortu duty would necessarily induce the importation of .fine teas, to. the exclusion for the future of so much rubbish as we have seen imported, alike into London or Liverpool, within the last twelve months. The character of the article tea would thereby be raised in the consumers estimation, would iiferease its consumption, and consequently add to the present revenue from it. . . .

Wednesday Ecening,-Half-past &reit o'clock. :W:st,a,ted. in our last that the Marquis Wellesley had re signed, and that other resignations would follow. This has been borne plit, for the Earl of Albemarle has also resigned, but by smite „Whig hocus pocus • has been harlequinaded in again, it being found his departure would too much expose the fast ap proaching dissolution of the popish cabinet. More thau this, be it known that, despite the contradiction of the papal-radical press, there has been a inure serious hitch in the administration than the exit of the Marquis Wellesley and the Jack-in-the-box movements of the Earl of Albemarle, and that every day has accumulated the difficulties under which the Melbourne cabinet is labouring, and against which it will vainly struggle. In the meantime money for commercial purposes has been extraor dinarily scarce here, being worth, even for the most unexcep tionable paper, (Exchequer bills,) 5 per cent. for short periods. The consequence is,. a generaldepreciation of the English'secu rities, consols for money (3 per cents.) being at 92; for the ac count, 92k; Exchequer bills being at 26 27, and India bonds at 9 10 premium. This depreciation has extended itself to the foreign securities the transatlantic bonds in particular having been much affected. The price of Colombian bonds is 411., - of Chilian 52;and - of Mexican 45. The northern bonds are dull, with little•specula tion. Russian stock is - 1(101, Dutch 5 per cents. 1024, the 21 per cent. at 57i, and Belgian 1012. Spanish bonds and scrip have been Dutch depreciated, the former having closed this af ternoon at 65k, and the latter at s a . The scarcity of money has much pressed -upon these securities, added to which the accounts from Spain have been decidedly favourable for Dan Carlos, and bear an appearance of greater ascendancy than of late. The army ofV aldez appears to be in a state of great disorganization, and by no means able to cope against the numerous, increasing, and well-provided fortes of their opponents. In the midst of this general depreciation Portuguese bonds remain within per cent. of their highest price, the closing quotation this after noon being 101 A 1.

The report of the state of this establishment, at the close of the last year, 1834, has just been published.

Woodward, T._.4.41‘11, William Brown, and J. 11.

The report states, with re-: spect to the admission of visiters, that "owing to the interrup tion which the pupils experience - from the indiscriminate ad mission of visiters, it has been deemed necessary to come to a resolution that non-subscribers cannot be admitted beyond the shop without an iutroduetion, either personally or by note, by a donor or subscriber; and the subscribes arc respectfully requested to assist the committee in carrying this resolution into effect, by giving to such of their friends as May wish to go through the school an order of adtnittanee addressed to Mr. Lucy."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LWERPOOL MERCURY. In reply to the "Anti-jobber," who, in the Mercury of last week, made, so eloquent a display of his igaerance and, malice, we retort that his head t surely be what he so aptly termed the brick he haS made a lump of half-baked clay. The brick. the unfortunate object of his attack, Laving left its honoured station in the window of the Mercury-office, has been exhibited at the and has been declared by the under-men tioned highly respectable individuals, and qualified judges, not half baked, but over baked. The opin►on of these gentlemen far outweighs the very deep penetration and quicksightedness of a busy meddler, who not daring, as - it would seem, to avow his nitrite screens•himself under the malicious title of " Anti jobber." If the gentleman has been a disappointed candidate for Mr. Foster's, or any public office, after this exhibition of his judgment we Mil but pity him and congratulate the public. 11 lie intends to offer himself after that he has displaced some one of the unfortunate gentlemen he so loudly condemns, or so kindly instructs, we hint to him that the. brick will be a suffi cient evidence of his incapacity; we ourselves will warmly sup port him,. for we suppose, since the roughness of the brick dis pleases him, he would have the severs highly faced, or perhaps c:.mented. But as this is nut the first attack that has been made upon us we will use our exertions to discover and expose the man who has thus sought to injure the overseers and us in the eves of the public, that if any man in future have any fault to find or apy complaint to make he may do it in a manly open way. and not, coward and traitor like, seek to poison•the mind of the public under the seeming zeal, but real malice, of anti anything.

NSUS: IRELANI) .. I . O,FI LAST RETURN (Fixiet the Dub Record.) ;In our last number we : gave a statement of the populatien of r, i ltrellintl,,as it appearealroM the latest inquiry, observing that its authenticity might be relied upon—and We confess we were rattier surprised at seeing, in a day or two after, the following paragraph in almost every newspaper in Dublin:— W e are authorised to state, that the paragraph under this ; head, in the Dublin Record of Wednesday, is utterly incorrect, i and was published without authiieity, us the commissioners of public instruction have not yet made up their report, or correctly ascertained the amount of the populations or the respective nu,mbers Of the several religious persuasions in Ireland,' Now we beg to observe that, notwithstanding this rather un civil contradiction f and the extraordinary trouble taken to give it curren6y, we fullyniaintain our statement in every particular, which for the sake Of those who may not have seen it, we shall here reprint:— "We have heed faviinred, ate believe exclusively, with the following return, the authenticity of which Et*y be relied upon: POPULATION OF IRELAND. Established church Presbyterians Protestant dissenters .. 21,518 Roman catholics • 6 428,2u5 7,937,162 Or about 41 Roman catholics, to I of all non-Roman catholics." Our readers will not suppose that we imagined these figures, or indeed, if they know any thing of us, think for a moment that we did mere than publish a document which had come to our hands without the employment of any dishonest or impros per means. Hit were erroneous, we should l i bel no shame in acknowledging the fact; hut 'it so happens that, as we firmly believe, his in no respect so but quite correct ; according to the returns now in the office - of 'the - commissioners, whatever the author or authors of this annonyinous paragraph may choose to say upon the subject.. We could advance several very cogent reasons in support of our position, but in truth, the con tradiction does nut appear to us deserving of so much notice t for on examination, the sweeping charge of utter incorrectness will be found to stand upon the two following very weak and unsatisfactory reasons, first, that the commissioners " have not made up their report;"• and, secondly, that "they have not correctly ascertained the amount of the population, ; ' &c. But neither of these reasons in the slightest degree affects our state ment. If' the commissioners have beeu dilatory it does not fol low that all the rest of the world must have been so; nor, if 4/lay have been unable to make use of the materials in their possession, that all other persons must have been equally lacer pable. A charge which rests upon sneh futile objections, it is plain, can be .entitled to no credit, and therefore, might be safely passed over. .But a sufficient cause for preferring it, and for such pressing haste ant] enaietyto give it circulation, can be easily imagined.'" The hifaiurs of the Commissioners, we ap prehend, will not liroduee any thing at all palatable to Lord John Russell, and his Irish appropriation party. The noble lord in-his speech in the House of Commons on Monday the 30th of March, broadly assorted, that " the. whole of the protes tant population in Ireland did not exceed 750,000, and of these, that 400,00 X) were within the ecclesiastical province of Armagh". , -we quote from the Times newspaper of March 31. Yet here is a return taken from documents procured by his own commissioners, which shows that the prutestants of the established church atone exceed eight hundred and fifty thou sand, and that the protestants of Ireland (of all denominations) realty exceed a Million and a half! Here is, indeed, a most amazing diseredancy, such as must throw dtscredit on the statements of the noble lord, far beyond any discovery that has yet come to light of the recklessness of his assertions. Granting, even, that he bad been m i srepor t e d or misunder stood, when speaking of the protestants of Ireland, and that his meaning was, the protestants of the established church, yet here again is a gross undervaluation, and a miscomputa rims, to their prejudice, to the amount of one hundred thousand and ~upwards ! These, surely, are facts of very great mo- Mout, and such as ought to make us cautious of receiving, any Statement-with confidence that comes from such a quarter.
