MONS. LE DRAY, SURGEON-DENTIST, from th Firm of LE DRAY and CO., London. A NEW DISCOVERY IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH, FIXED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR LIGATURES. SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED. LOOSE TEETH FASTENED, And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum. MoNs. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened Establishments permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, Liverpool, (eight doors from Serry-street,) and No. 52, GEORGE-STREET, Manchester. They continue to fill up the cavities of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and it is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. Mons. La DRAY begs to introduce to the notice of his Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and can with confidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mas tication and Articulation, and defy detection from the closest observer. They never change colour or break, as those now used, are fixed without wires or ligatures, and have no un pleasant odour or unnatural gloss. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will give support and preserve Teeth that are loose, at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth... .. A complete Set A coniplete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the fi tE t style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged 40 guineas X 0 10 0 5 5 0 Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied. Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth, and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays from Nine till Two. For the convenience of country patients. Monsieur LE DRAY and Co. are enabled to fix a partial or complete set of Teeth at one sitting, without he least pain or incon- venience. ii,SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL, AND 52, GEORG STREET, MANCHESTER.

Birkenhead, Oct. 19th, 1840. PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS. j PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs 0 • particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly cele brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is pe culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac curacy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. _ _ _ Sold 6 Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIEST LEY, No. 52, Lord-street. where also may be had Seidlitz Powders in Packets. IMPROVED SODA POWDERS. It has been observed that the Soda Water, when kept in jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ; and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the r üblic.—Sold in Boxes, at Is. 6d. each QUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In c!11.3 preparation are concentrated ail the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half's. pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the Loudon. Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharrnacopceias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are these of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases. Secondary Svmptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &, trot h the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has 1.-A to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in it s extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the dizestive organs by causing acid fermentation.

Richard I. had a cloak made at enormous cost, with pre cious and shining metals inlaid in imitation of the heavenly bodies; and Henry V. wore, on a very memorable occasion, when Prince of Wales, a mantle or gown of rich blue satin, full of small eyelet-holes, as thickly as they could be put, and a needle hanging by a silk thread from every hole. VEsuvws.—l do believe the crater of a volcano the most fearfully grand of earthly sights. You recollect the lines where Manfred, standing on the edge of an Alpine precipice, says— " The mists boil up around the glaciers ; clouds Rise curling fast beneath me, white and sulphury, Like foam from the roused ocean of deep hell." Splendid as these lines are, they embody nothing but an image ; it is only by an effort of the poet's genius that the mountain mists, and all the stern and terrible scenery around, are identified with the still more terrible conception of the prison house of fallen spirits.- But here, I may almost say, we see the thing itself. The glimmering flames, the blasted desolation all around, the " bur n i ng mar l e beneath our feet, and " torrid climes " smiting sorely upon us—all, even to the dense sulphurous clouds and smell of brimstone, are here combined to stir the mind with vivid impressions of the half-forgotten stories of our early days, and stimulate the imagination into a sort of half-belief that hell lies open at our feet. Reason, indeed, rejects the tale of a fiery dungeon, and all the machinery of physical torture which credulous ages have built on a few vague and allegorical expressions ; but let reason doubt as it may, the mind can never wholly shake off the beliefs and fears of its early years ; and that sort of half-belief still clings to it which is sufficient to give full scope to the workings of the imagination.

They greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs, without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a most ex cellent family aperient medicine, which may be taken at all times with perfect safety."

In consequence of the extraordinary demand for our impression of Friday last, we find it impossible to sup ply those distant readers who have forwarded to us orders for copies of that publication. When those orders were received we had not a single copy left out of the very large issue of Friday's STANDARD. — The only way in which we can render an equivalent for the orders with which we have been favoured is by forwarding copies of our present publication to the different applicants. We cannot allow this opportunity to pass without expressing our grateful acknowledge ments for the handsome manner in which our exertions to provide a full report of Thursday's proceedings were appreciated by the public. We have the plea sure to reflect that our report has given entire satis faction. Ebt Zilmrpool .tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1840. By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship, Lieut. Hosken, R. N., we have received New York papers to the 10th instant, inclusive. The Great Western sailed from New York on the afternoon of the 10th, and arrived in Kingroad, Bristol, on the morning of Saturday last, (the 24th,) having accomplished the passage in 13 days and 15 hours. She brought 95 passengers, a very full number, considering the season of the year. The principal news from the United States relates to the approaching Presidential election. According to every probability General Harrison will be elected to that office. As a consequence of his election the es tablishment of a national bank is confidently predict ed. Our facetious friend of the Morning Herald also enumerates the following as among the contingencies which will depend upon the success of the General : " The old United States Bank will never recover her reputation—Mr. Webster or Mr. Clay will take the succession—the country will pass through another pe riod of speculation—another crisis—another revul sion—and the science of political economy will be be nefited by these experiments on the currency and on commerce. Probably in 1843 or 1844, the next grand explosion may take place." Mr. Webster was particularly active in his exertions for the return of General Harrison. With this view, he had been journeying from one town to another, and delivering addresses to the " citizens," in which he set forth, in glowing terms, the merits of the favourite candidate. The Herald furnishes us with a flaming de scription of one of " the conventions of the people," at which these speeches were delivered, which was held at Richmond. The commercial intelligence from New York is ex tremely meagre. On the 9th instant there was an in creased demand of bills for the Great Western. The quotations on England were 0 to 9 per cent. premium. The amount of bills sold was not large. The packet carried out 240,000 dollars in specie. In stocks there was more business doing, though prices had generally declined. United States Bank fell off per cent.; North American Trust and Banking Company per cent.: Delaware and Hudson per cent.; Farmers' Trust * per cent. ; Harlem 1 per cent. Money con tinued plentiful, and the value of most southern secu rities, as well as state stocks, was improving, under the demand for investment. There is little news of importance from Canada. Several acts of incendiarism had been recently com mitted along the borders, but the New York papers state that no suspicion rested on Americans as the authors of the villanies, and that there was generally a good understanding between the inhabitants on the different sides of the line. Chaplain A. Talcott, with a party of surveyors, had left Canaan, Vermont, for the head-quarters of Con necticut river, for the purpose of tracing the sources of the Magalloway river. The party were then to pro ceed along the dividing highlands to the Kennebec road. Another party, under Professor Renwick, had proceeded to the Restigouche bay, from whence they were to trace the highlands, agreeably to the treaty, in the direction of the Kennebec road. A third party, under Major Graham, was employed in running the meridian line for Mars' hill. There is not much news from Mexico. Since th receipt of previous advices no material change had taken place in the aspect of affairs in the capital. The government appeared to be mainly engaged in strength ening their position, drawing around them loyal troops, and searching out and arresting persons known or suspected to have been engaged in the late demonstra tion against the centralists. The revolutionary spirit appeared to be quieted for the present. The prevail ing calm, however, was considered as the prelude to an approaching tempest. The name of Santa Anna was not mentioned. His is not a spirit to remain in active in the tumult of revolution. The Texian fleet was off the mouth of the river Bravo on the Ist of , k N. \ ‘\. September, but no attack had been made at any point. Strong apprehensions were entertained at Matamoras of a descent, either there, or at some other accessible port. A letter, dated Matamoras, Sept. 1, says that a detachment from Arista's army was on the opposite side of the river on the previous night. This sudden countermarch was owing to the expected attack of the Texian forces by sea. Intelligence, to this effect; had been immediately made known to the General by express. We have received our files of the Jamaica papers to the 3d. ultimo. They contain very little news of im portance. A society had been formed in the island, for the purpose of co-operating with the West India Immigration society, recently organised in England, and the most beneficial results were likely to follow from the operations of the Jamaica branch. The fol lowing extract from the Royal Gazette is the only article for which we can find room in our present publication : THE. SILK COMPANIES.—The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. Whitmarsh, to a house in this city : " From my examination of the South and South- Western States, I prefer Jamaica for the culture of silk ; and shall make diligent preparation to be with you in the autumn. I have a steam engine in readi ness, with fixtures for a saw-mill, and shingle mill, and other machinery to he set in motion in a few days after their arrival. I shall leave with Mrs. Whitmarsh about the Ist of September, for Kingston. The machinery and families will be about six weeks later, and will sail for St. Ann's It will be perceived that I have begun at the foundation, and engaged several families of active, steady, temperance whites, to commence what I intend as a pattern village of industry, and to show what can he done for this beautiful island, which needs but a spirit of enterprise, to raise it far above its best days. I will not promise too much, but endeavour, with your co-operation, to carry out the plans, which I will make known in detail when I shall have the pleasure of meet ing you in Kingston. 1 have white and black families engaged, and shall have more to follow when I have all things prepared for their reception. So great is my faith in the full success of the enterprise, and of its importance to the island, as well as the individuals concerned, that I will very much enlarge upon my first plans, without enlarging the capital. I might have returned sooner, and made some stir about the matter, but was well aware of what must be done to ensure success. I shall leave nothing undone that all former and present experience may suggest, and I doubt not of ample success." The foreign news since our last is of the highest im portance. The abdication of the Queen of Spain, in consequence of the difficulties of her position, has been fully confirmed. But the most important event that has transpired has been the resignation of M. Thiers and his ministry, and the consequent summoning, by the King of the French, of the leading conservatives of that country, to form a new administration. The Lon don Times of Saturday furnishes us with a list of the members of the new ministry. If this list can be re lied upon, we have very little hesitation in saying that the question of war or peace will be very speedily solved, as the leading members of the new ministry are known to entertain feelings of the most friendly nature towards this country. It is said that the ministry will comprise the following :—Marshal Soult, M. Guizot, M. Duchatel, Admiral Duperre, M. Teste, M. Martin, (du Nord,) M. Dufaure, M. Cunin Gridaine, M. Ville main, and M. Passy. In the composition of the new ministry we find an ample guarantee for the preservation of the peace of Europe. This is a consummation which cannot but prove highly acceptable to the mercantile interests of Great Britain, whom we have every reason to congra tulate upon the change. It is impossible to predict the effect which the resig nation of M. Thiers and his associates will produce upon the French nation generally. Our volatile neigh bours are so much the slaves of impulse that it would he highly imprudent to speculate upon the subject. Of this, however, we feel certain, that the principal Euro pean governments, interested in the settlement of the Eastern Question, will hail the downfall of M. Thiers as the harbinger of peace. The struggle for ascendancy in our municipal coun cil has commenced in right earnest. Candidates are already engaged in an active canvass in each of the wards. The radicals have, at length, found one for West Derby ward, in the person of Mr. Laurence Hey worth, jun. While the preparations for the approach ing contest are going on, we would particularly urge upon the attention of our conservative friends the necessity of untiring vigilance and perseverance. Let them ponder over the " word in season," which one Of our correspondents has thought it his duty to place before them. Over-confidence will prove the most fatal error into which the conservative electors can fall. They ought not to give way to this feeling until they have placed the conservative candidate in each ward in such a position on the poll that his return will be a matter of complete certainty. Amongst the many cheering displays of Protestant and Conservative feeling, of which our good old town has lately been the universal scene, the proceedings of Thursday last are worthy of, and we doubt not wil occupy, a prominent position in the memory of the present generation. A calm, a dignified and decorous loyalty, a beneficent and christian spirit united in beau tiful propriety, with the fearless and uncompromising expression of sound Protestant truth, were the charac teristics of that day's proceedings ; and when we look around us and contrast with them the furious ravings which distinguish the gatherings of whig-radicalism in our own land—or the frenzied, restless and reckless outbursts which attend every expression of popular opinion in other lands, we must confess that we are proud both of the party and of the country to which we belong. It is not, however, merely the indulgence of this feel ing of just pride which induces us to recur to a subject in itself so gratifying. The Protestant inhabitants of Liverpool need no finger of ours to point to a page which is destined to be so memorable in the history of their town. Our object has a wider range and a higher purpose. It is to excite and to fasten the attention, not only of our fellow-townsmen, but of our fellow countrymen at large, upon the relative position of the two great parties in the state—the whig-radical and conservative parties ;—and to enable them to deter mine in which of those parties the permanent interests, the peace and the security of Great Britain centre at the present crisis. If we look abroad amongst the kingdoms of civilized Europe, we cannot but be struck with the unsettled and menacing picture which everywhere presents itself. Russia, to the Eastward, intriguing, ambitious, and un principled, already counts as her own the dominions of the Sultan ; and only waits her time to plant the eagle upon the turrets of Constantinople. Her agents, subtle and daring, are in every court and her gold is sapping the foundations of every throne which has constitutional liberty for its basis. Austria and Prussia,—sluggish and inert—sleep upon a smouldering volcano ; whilst the states of Germany, with Hanover and Belgium are ready to crumble in pieces at the sound of the first cannon which breaks their present uneasy and deceit ful repose. In western Europe, Spain and Portugal are in a state of frightful and bloody anarchy, alter nately the prey of their revolutionary and absolutist factions. In both these wretched lands, a licentious soldiery, bloated with plunder, hold in their ruffian hands the sway of Government and the lives of their feeble monarchs ; whilst an equally licentious priest hood fills up with its extortions the full measure of suffering meted out for their outcast and degraded population. In the centre of all this mass, of combus tion,—through which popery is busily laying the train whose explosion is to light her, amidst ruin and desol ation, to a renewal of the empire,—the restless spirit of infidel France, crushed and bruised but not extinguish ed, is struggling still with the dream of rapine and universal conquest which during the close of the last and the beginning of the present centuries brought down upon her so bloody and so fearful a retribution. The fierce passions of her democracy are daily lashing themselves into more dangerous excitement ; their wild longing for blood, —unappeased by the oceans which were shed in the fields of Portugal and Spain, of Quatre Bras and Waterloo, —is equalled only by the deep and demoniac hatred with which they regard the hands by which those longings were for a time subdued. War —war—at any price and in any cause is• the cry of millions of her wild and savage populace—of her republican and unprincipled politicians. War with Europe, with all the world ; but, first and last,—and above all—War with Great Britain Such is the picture,—when stript of the disguises, so eagerly sought to be thrown ever it,—.-which the present aspect of Europe presents to our contemplation. We may be flattered by the hope that its horrors will not at present be realized. We may be told that the government of France has no sympathy with this hatred of England—that the educated classes in France have no sympathy with this impatience of settled insti tutions. But we must maintain that the government of France is a thread which the occurrence of an hour may snap asunder; that the educated classes of France can no more restrain their democracy, than a rope of flax can bind up and hold together a burning mass. Nay, so precarious is the tenure by which the peace of Europe is even now maintained,--so far at least, as it depends upon France,—that, at the moment in which we write, we know not that that tenure may not already be broken, and republican institutions erected in that country, by the sacrifice and upon the blood of the Bourbon dynasty. To what party then, must the eyes not only of Great Britain, but of the whole civilized world, be turned for succour at such a crisis ? Upon whom must we call to stay the fierce torrent of democracy which threatens to deluge with blood and to desolate Europe ? To the Whig-radical party shall we turn—whose right arm is infidelity and whose left arm is popery? Shall we call upon those who are seeking daily to engraft a bigoted and ignorant democracy upon the constitution of Great Britain—who are labouring daily to destroy the key stone of that constitution, our Protestant church—who are striving daily to promote the spread of education without religion, and science without christianity— those elements which constitute republican society in France and throughout Europe ? To do this would be to prove ourselves fools and madmen. We have a nobler stay and a higher refuge. Yes—it is a proud thing for Englishmen that in their hour of need—when universal anarchy tramples upon the rest of Europe, prostrates her throne; and outrages her altars—they have still a power within their own land upon which to fall back and to repose their trust—a source of pure, conservative, Protestant strength which has never yet failed them, and whilst the entireness of their glorious constitution is preserved, in church and state, never will fail them. THE SOUTH LANCASHIRE GRAND CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. On Friday evening last, this splendid festival was held at 14e Conservative Hall, in Newton, when a great number of he Conservative gentry of the Southern Division of the County were assembled. At three o'clock the railway trains from Manchester, Liverpool, Preston, Wigan, Lancaster. and Bolton, severally brought up their respective additions to the company. A band of music was stationed on the green in front of the Legh Arms Hotel, where the company chiefly congregated until the hour appointed for the opening of the hall. The room presented much the same appearance as usual, being neatly, but not gorgeously, decorated. A number of blue and white flags, the conquering colours of the South Lancashire conservatives, were ranged round the walls ; and the banner of the society, the banner of the Liverpool Trades men's Conservative Association, and the royal standard, were displayed in favourable positions. Over the chairman's seat was the blue silk ensign of the society, with the imperial crown in the centre, on the rose, shamrock, and thistle, and the motto, " Queen and Constitution in Church and State." There was also the inscription, " The Conservatives of South Lancashire. May their principles and their numbers grow with their growth and strengthen with their strength." On either side were two small royal standards, each of them bearing the inscription, " Lancashire Election, 1837. The Hon. B. Wilbraham, 7645 ; the Right Hon. Lord F. Eger ton, 7822." The flag of the Liverpool Tradesmen's Conser vative Association, over the principal entrance, exhibited a figure of Britannia, with the motto, " Our Free and Glori ous Constitution in Church and State, Queen, Lords, and Commons." The magnificient royal standard belonging to the Liverpool shipwrights was placed over the northern en trance, with the motto, " For God, our Queen, and our coun try." A long table ran along the eastern end of the room, and eleven other tables extended in parallel lines to the west ern. All of them were filled about half-past four, when the noble chairman, Lord Sandon, and the other principal guests, entered the room, and were greeted with loud cheering. There were upwards of six hundred gentlemen present. At the centre table we observed the chairman, the Right Hon. Lord Sandon ; to the right, the Right Hon. the Earl of Wilton, Hon. R. B. Wilbraham, M.P., Sir Richard Brooke, Bart., the Hon. and Rev. Horace Powys, John Ireland Blackburne, Esq., M.P., George Cornwall Legh, Esq., Edward Cardwell, Esq., Dixon Robinson, Esq. ; and, to the left, the Right Hon. Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., Sir John Yarde Buller, M.P. John Wilson Patten, Esq., M.P., the Rev. Jonathan Brooks, the Rev. Dr. Molesworth, Cresswell Cresswell, Esq.. M.P., J. Plurnbe Tempest, Esq., Thomas Bright Crosse, Esq., Elias Chadwick, Esq. In other parts of the room we noticed Wm. Hulton, jun., Esq., John Clare, Esq., T. Wagstaffe, Esq., John H. Kearsley, Esq., Edward Kearsley, Esq., James Aspinall, Esq., Richd. Dawson, Esq., Geo. H. Lawrence, Esq., A. Smith, Esq., Raymond Houghton, Esq., John Sheppard, Esq., Chris. Bushell ' Esq., Tinne, Esq., Sir Thomas Brancker, Wm. Townend, Esq., J. S. F. Greene, Esq., J. B. Wanklyn, Esq., M. T. Sadler, Esq., R. C. Sharpe, Esq., J. Crossley, Esq., John Waddington, Esq., John Barker, Esq., S. Bar ker, Esq., S. Holme, Esq., E. S. Kearsley, Esq., Thomas Kearsley, Esq., &c., &c. The Rev. JONATHAN BROOKS, A.M., rector of Liverpool, having been called upon by Lord Sandon, asked a blessing in his usual brief but impressive manner. The cloth having been withdrawn, and " Non nobis Do mine" sung by a party of vocalists from Manchester, the important part of the business of the evening commenced. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the first toast, was received with loud and enthusiastic applause. When it had subsided he said—Gentlemen, whether encouraged by the smiles of the court, or put in front of the battle for the crown unaided by the favour of the prerogative, the first toast of every good conservative will ever be the Queen of England. (Loud cheers.) I therefore give as the first toast " The Queen," and may we at least never be called upon, by the fashion of the day, to endeavour to repeal the union which happily exists between her Majesty and the duchy. I give you " The Queen—Duchess of Lancaster." (Three times three, and loud applause.) Song—" God save the Queen." The lines " Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks," were loudly applauded, as usual at these meetings. All the company joined in the chorus. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen, I have next to give you the health of the amiable, accomplished, and excellent young prince, who is the consort of our Queen, and of whom everything we have yet seen gives us reason to hope the highest qualities. (Cheers.) I beg leave to give you " The health of Prince Albert." (Drunk with three times three.) The CHAIRMAN then said—Gentlemen, when I allude to the private virtues and public and private charities of the Queen Dowager, (tremendous cheering,) I am sure I need say nothing more to recommend your attention to the toast I have to propose—" The Queen Dowager, and the rest of the royal family." (Nine times nine and one cheer more.) Glee—" Hall, Star of Brunswick." The CHAlRMAN.—Gentlemen, the next toast I have to propose to you is that of " The Army and Navy." (Hear.) For many a long year their services have made the proposal of that toast no other than an expression of gratitude for the many services we have received at their hands. (Applause.) Song and chorus—" Come if you dare." (Applause.) Major TEMPEST, in returning thanks, said—My lord, I feel confident that when called out against the enemies of their country, the army and navy will support the character they have invariably enjoyed. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen, I have now to propose for your acceptance a toast which I have no doubt will call forth your warmest gratulations ;—I mean " Prosperity to the Established Church of England and Ire land." (Great cheers.) The Rev. Dr. MOLESWORTH, vicar of Rochdale, respond ed to the toast, and was received with loud cheers. Sir JOHN Ya RDE By LLER, M.P., rose to propose the next toast, which was, " Success to the South Lancashire Con servative Association." (Loud and protracted cheering.) Glee—" With a jolly full bottle." WILLIAM HULTON, h.sq., jun., responded to the toast, and was received with very loud cheers. Sir THOMAS BRANCKER then, by permission of the chair man, proposed the health of Mr. Hulton, the father of the association. Mr. HULTON, jun., returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN next rose and said—Gentlemen, I call on you to receive with honour the toast of that branch of the constitution to which we owe that, at this moment, we are enabled to rejoice in a meeting like the present; for if the House of Lords had not stood forward in the hour of danger, to protect the ancient liberties of this country, we should at this moment have been labouring under the yoke of a tyran nical democracy. (Vehement applause.) With these few observations, I call on you to drink prosperity and duration to the House of Lords. (Tremendous cheering.) And you will allow me to give with that body the health of the distin guished nobleman who sits on my right, and who represents that body on this occasion—Lord Wilton. (Drunk with nine times nine, and one cheer more.) Lord WILTON rose, and the cheering was renewed and con tinued for several minutes. When silence was restored he spoke as follows :—Gentlemen, it is with sentiments of the livliest gratitude that I rise to acknowledge the toast which has been given, and which has met with such unequivocal marks of your favour and consideration, and though 1 cannot take to myself personally any share in the reception with which this toast has been received, yet I cannot but feel a sense of conscious and becoming pride from the considera tion that I belong to, and that I am a member of that august assembly whose course of conduct has met with the entire— the complete—the unanimous approbation of, an assembly such as the present. After describing the position main tained by the House of Lords during the last ten years, his lordship concluded by observing—Gentlemen, the person, that illustrious man whose health I have been deputed to propose, and to whom I have had occasion to allude in the earl? part of my address—it is—l need not name him, for it is a name that live in the heart of every Englishman—it is a name that will live in the heart of every Englishman so long as memory holds its place—it is a name so entirely bound up with every feeling of national honour and national grandeur that we all look up to him, and not only we, but I am con vinced those opposed to him in politics also, for they, as well as ourselves, view him as the incarnation of our country's glory. (Great cheers.) I have to apologise to you for taking up so much of your time, but I am sure I cannot conclude better than by proposing that health which will be received in the hearts of all who hear me—the Duke of Wellington. (Tremendous cheering for several minutes.) I may be al lowed, I trust, to give the word on this occasion. Are you ready gentlemen? (Vehement cries of " Yes, yes.") Hip, hip, hip, hurrah. (The toast was drunk with nine times nine and one cheer more, which was was followed by the chorus " Fill, fill the cup.") JOHN I. BLACKBURNE rose next, and said—Gentlemen, I beg to propose a toast : it is the health of our noble chair man. (Great cheers.) Gentlemen, I shall not pass any en comiums on my noble friend's political life, which it so well deserves. That life has been long before you, and I will The general Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the borough leave it to speak for itself, but I need scarcely tell you that, as member for the borough of Liverpool, his friends there of Liverpool commenced yesterday, before JAMES CL ARKS, duly appreciate his Conduct.

But when we look at interest had occurred up to the rising of the court. home, and see what has resulted from the changes we have made in our constitution, however justified they may have been in the opinion of many, and in those changes I have had my share, but when we see those changes have had the effect of creating wild disorder and speculation, and when we see that when we unsettle any part of the framework of society the door is opened for further change; I confess I do not think that our attachment to that form of the constitution as it now remains is likely to be disturbed. If our attachment to our constitution is not impaired, surely the reasons for our being under arms are not impaired either. (Cheers.) Have we a government in which we can place confidence for the defence of our constitution ? Why, confidence appli e d to the present administration is a mockery. (Hear, hear, and vehement applause.) I certainly know not the man who has confidence in them, except themselves, and I doubt much whether they have confidence in one another. (Hear, and great laughter.)

Did they meet it in the way Can ning met a similar motion ? Was he satisfied with a negative ? No ; but he appealed to the House of Commons on the sub ject.

We seek not again to embark as comba tants upon the battle field of Europe. We know that at the present moment the regards of the wise and the good are directed towards that party; and that every movement of conservative Protestantism in England is the source of hope and confidence to our patriotic fel low-countrymen and of dismay to the enemies of or der and peace throughout the world. We know that the proceedings of last week have already cheered and inspirited thousands of loyal British hearts; and, knowing all this, we call earnestly upon our townsmen to go on and persevere in their noble demonstrations. To one object, however, we feel that it is becoming daily more important that the efforts of Protestantism should be directed. We have already a Protestant nobility; we have already a Protestant gentry and a Protestant yeomanry; and we are rapidly creating that strongest of all bulwarks, a Protestant democracy. Let our next effort be to surround the throne of our gracious Sovereign and the noble institutions of our country with a sound Protestant government. The time has now come when, on this subject, the Protes tant conservatives of Great Britain must speak out boldly and loudly; and the time has come too when their voice must and will be heard. The Albion of yesterday publishes a grossly inaccu rate statement of the result of the revision of voters on the parliamentary list fJr this borough, giving, as might be expected, a decided majority to the radicals, both on the claims and on the objections. The following may be relied upon as an accurate return : Conservative objections made 1740 Ditto sustained.. Withdrawn and allowed ---- 1740 Radical objections made Ditto sustained .. Withdrawn and allowed 867 - 1601 From this statement it will appear that the conserva tives have gained by the revision to the extent of 95 ' votes. The good cause is steadily progressing, in spite of all the machinations of the Protector Society. We have received our files of the Guiana Times and of the Guiana Chronicle to the 21st of August, inclu sive. The former of these papers gives a very gloomy description of the condition of the colony, which was in a state of uneasiness and anxiety. The season - was amazingly favourable, and immigrants were dropping in from the adjacent islands ; but the number was very limited. It was considered surprising that from North America there was no account, either of immigrants, or of the money sent thither for the purpose of pro curing labourers. All public business is described by the Times as be ing suspended. There were no taxes coming into the chest, and the erection of hospitals for the town, with other works of utility, was retarded by the repeated ad journments of the Court of Policy. We extract the following from the Guiana Chronicle : " We understand that Mr. Ries has returned from his ex. cursion to Essequebo, and is highly pleased with his experi mental trip. He has fixed on Cartabo as a site for the town of his new settlement. We must inform the enterprising Mr. Ries, that a town on this site is not a new thing, for a very considerable Spanish town stood on the same spot two centuries ago. However, we wish Mr. Ries every success, and express a hope that he may find that encouragement and support in his undertaking, which will render his project successful. So far as we recollect, from a very short sojourn on the spot, the site for the settlement is very judiciously chosen, it being a prominent spot, commanding a view of the rivers Essequebo, Massarony, and Cayooney." LIVERPOOL QUARTER SESSIONS. The calendar contains the names of 120 persons for trial on charges of felony, 9 for misdemeanours and assaults, and one mint case, making a total of 130, the investigation of which we apprehend will occupy the bench the greater part of the week. It appears from an examination of the calendar with refer ence to the amount of education, that there is more ignorance amongst the prisoners now waiting for trial than has been the case for many preceding sessions. Of the 130, there are 78 or considerably more than one half who may be classified under the head of being able to read and write imperfectly. but at least one half of whom cannot write at all. Their ignorance therefore, will be better conceived by the reader than described by us. There are only seven individuals out of the whole number who have the capacity to read and write well ; but the most startling fact is that forty five, or one third of the prisoners have never been taught either to read or to write. Neither the youngest prisoner who is a girl aged 15, nor the oldest who is a man aged 74, have ever learned either one or the other ! Moral principle must necessarily be very low when such destitution as this prevails in the very elements of knowledge. Bell's Life in London, of Sunday the Ist of November, will contain an accurate list of performances of the two-year olds during the present year, with a reference to their future engagements ; together with full particulars of the great fight between Caunt and Brassey, (on the 27th inst.)and the Fancy Fair at Newmarket. —The price of Bell's Life in London is fivepence, published in time to send by the railwaysearly on Saturday afternoon. cial interests—in short, I know not where or to whom they could apply for confidence. (Hear, hear, and great cheers.) What are they ? When we express confidence we must know in whom we confide. Is it, then, their principles of this year or of last, or of one night or of another, that we are to place confidence in ? Do we know in the approaching session of parliament what shall be the course pursued by her majesty'S government on the great questions which agitate the nation ? If any one believes that he understands that course, why is the question so often asked by their own supporters? You do not ask us what we think of the ballot, or universal suf frage ; but it is asked in every radical journal at the commence ment of every session, " Do you think they will give way on such and such questions, or will they barter a little more of the ancient principles of the constitution to keep themselves in place ?" or in that miserable position which they call power? (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Gentlemen, they have no principles at all. (Great cheers.) The only reason why they are supported is, because they have no principle. (Re newed cheers.) Why, their own supporters tell them that they give them their support because they think they are composed of " squeezable materials," and because they think they can make them act at any time on their own principles. How can we have confidence in men so circumstanced ? and I boldly appeal to you for the reply—what confidence ? (Ve hement cries of "None, none," and cheers.) Gentlemen, it is impossible that men of this quality can command the esteem or the confidence of this great empire. (Tremendous cheers.) They may for a little longer carry on their trimming line of policy, doing as little mischief as they can ; for I will do them the justice to say, that I believe they do not wish mischief for its own sake, and I farther believe, that in their hearts they are just as good conservatives as ourselves, because they think that the only means of safety is attachment to the mo narchy and attachment to the established church ; but then the misfortune is that they won't act on these views, whereas , the true conservative is he who acts firmly on his opinions whenever called on. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) How can we have confidence in men who pervert the magistracy of this country to political purposes of the worst kind, and who dally with him who would dismember the empire ? Why, it is only two years ago since they offered to that man the highest seat on the judicial bench, whose whole life was passed in showing his wretched countrymen how they could break the laws. (Hear, hear.) I have gone more generally on this occasion into the feelings which naturally arise at meetings of this kind than 1 had intended ; but it is impossible to meet a body collected from every part of this county, so full of wealth, commerce, and manufactures,, not governed and swayed by corruption as tories are said to be—(a laugh)—but honest men—men able to act in the spirit of their own opi nions, representing the rising prosperity and expanded intel ligence of England, and those who may appeal from Caesar to the multitude, and from the immediate councillors of the crown to the well-ordered judgment of the people. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I thank you most kindly for placing me in the chair, and for the kind manner in which you have drunk MY health. The noble lord here resumed his seat amidst the most enthusiastic cheering from all sides, which was followed by the Glee—" Life's a bumper." Colonel TEMPEST proposed the next toast, which was "the health of Sir Robert Peel and the Conservative Members of the House of Commons." (Drank with three times three, and one cheer more.) Catch—" Mr. Speaker, though 'tis late."—(Applause.) Sir J. YARDE BULLER responded to the toast. The CHAIRMAN said—lt is not agreeable to speak of gen tlemen in their presence, more especially when those gentle men are connected with oneself, one by very close relation ship, and the other by friendship. But I cannot neglect my duty so far as not to give, amongst a body of conservatives , " The Members for the Southern Division of Lancashire. Enthusiastic cheering.) Lord FItANCIS EGERTON rose to acknowledge the toot , and was greeted with an enthusiastic burst of cheering. He said—My Lord Sandon gentlemen, I know not, gentlemen , how my hon. colleague may construe the language of that cheer which still rings in my ears : he may perhaps assume , and justly too, that it savours of something of gratitude.and, respect, justly and hardly earned by assiduous, recent, an d faithful services. For myself, I will say no more on that topic immediately concerning myself, than this, that it tells me even of something more, of kindness, excuse, indulgence , and consideration for absence arising from circumstances over which I believe you all know I have no control. (Hear' and cheers.) Gentlemen, that topic I will pursue no further. In rising to address you on this occasion, I cannot but cow' pare it with the former opportunities that I have had of ad' dressing you in this room, and on similar occasion, and , gentlemen, I must own, that before I came here I'• was disposed to expect, to some extent at least, that that con' parison might be an unwelcome one for me to state, or for you to listen to. For it was natural to suppose that, having met here on former occasions during great excitement, we might meet, if not with diminished spirit, at least with eonsiderald/ diminished numbers. lam happy to find, from what I hea r and see from authority, that that circumstance is not the case. If it had so turned out, I confess I should have s een no reason for despondency, or scarcely for disappointment: We have not now immediately before us one of those great battles which, as electors of this county, we have called upon to fight. We have not now before us the prospect inure' diately of any particular question of peculiarly exciting We' rest, respecting which we have to expect an early and imme diate contest; and on these grounds I own I should neither have felt surprise nor disappointment, if some of those, Os' sibly whom I have seen and gladly seen here before, had bee e` absent on this occasion. 3ut if had felt any despondency' that description, I think a remedy of easy application might have revived my spirits. It was said of a learned and em inent member of the House of Commons, who had devoted the greatest portion of his life to the study of its rules and pule' tices and of its journals, when that individual had the mis fortune to faint in the lobby of the house, that he wo f revived by the application of a volume of the journals of the house to the pit of his stomach. (Great laughter.) Now, if on the occasion of this meeting I had been likely t ° have felt extremely unwell, I should have called on you to let me smell at a copy of the registration list of South Len: cashire. (Cheers.) lam convinced if that remedy bad n?: revived me, the pr escription might have been improved ow the addition of many similar ingredients from neighbouring counties, from our own boroughs, and from, I may seY' nearly all parts of the kingdom. (Cheers.) It might he a* petted from me on this occasion that I should do as is some: times done, that I should endeavour to present to you son; prospect of the difficulties which we might have to conteila_ with, and with some account of the nature of the difficultie s to go through in the session of parliament not now very remote. I confess I should feel extremely di ffi dent on uir dertaking any task of that description; for, as the noble lord has stated f r o m th e c h a i r , it is absolutely i mposs ible for me dr any man to pr e di c t th e prec i se course we a re to foliose when we have to meet a m i n i s t ry composed like t he present. I am as ignorant as the noble lord himself of their princi. ples ; I am as ignorant as man can be of their intentiousti and I defy any man to predict, on a l mos t a ny questic4 vital interest to the country, what their course will be. they have pursued a practice, when opposed by the consee i , ll, -tive power, that power which has been truly describe d ; having rallied in this county—they have a practice of recl °l ,, e ing their exhausted strength by having recourse to t", resource of open questions, which positively disables 4° „' , man. But there is another thing of more serious importan e :f and that is, that even the most important considerations t our national and domestic policy are now almost lost sig h , of and swallowed up in the more difficult and less easily T: h derstood question, that of our foreign policy. Now i'ff„ - regard to the questions involved under that denominats/ they are usually treated as forbidden matter in the House. Commons ; and I must admit that it is not a subject w", safety or discretion to be discussed in that assembly or e o f l other. But I have met amongst the other accusations wi l ., which the conservative party are accused—l have been s u , e prised and astonished to meet an accusation in one of t' n daily papers, which is, that the conservative party have anxious desire for one of the worst of human calamities , an extensive foreign war. It is not for me to state the prl i pects of such a calamity. We are now in eircumstances,, which those prospects are affected by every letter and every w e i c plomatic correspondence that comes two or three times a w e from Paris to London. We know not, day by day, whether ee are advancing or retreating from the prospect that is beP te us ; and, under these circumstances, it is not for me to stl f , any opinion as to the possibility of that dreadful calarel 0 Gentlemen, I have said I really cannot form an opinion 8t our future prospects; it is impossible. I don't know w h a t the government may please to keep open, and sn they may please to keep shut. I don't know whether On may make the repeal of the union a measure for the no session of parliament. It is perfectly true that a man wp , I believe to be of honour and integrity—Lord Ebringto%, has declared his strong objection to that measure ; and D O stated that he will take the patronage of the crown froole who support it. As far as he is concerned, no doubt be ll li t act fairly and honestly, and perform what he has stated; v e il if he had just added that he would not invite Mr. O'Cona c i to dinner, it would have been to Mr. O'Connell and roos t e r, his bearers nearly as formidable a threat as the otboe (Laughter.) But what is advanced in this does not en a ,e us to form any calculation of what will be done with "4 government in the House of Commons. I have never bell better speeches than I have heard from Lord John lin s t be in defence of the interests of the church, or in defence of t he ' bishops and I have seldom heard better reasoning against ti l ballot ; but yet that is a small satisfaction to me when Ifi ro , John Russell, and perhaps another member of the g9 l l 0 11, ment, votes in favour of the bishop and against the DPI ip and several of the other ministers vote against the one an;,..) favour of the substitution of the other. (Hear, keTbe Therefore on this subject —on the future measures 01 _,,e, government, I must really crave your indulgence and eXCIf I change the subject, and conclude what I have to saY',,d proposing a toast for your acceptance. I have sometimes ;05 the support and assistance and co-operation of a large c'.‘,l in this county. It has been my lot to go successfully thro7,/, two very arduous contests in this county. It has been ,r , duty to endeavour to secure the support of all classes of Fla sons, of all religious persuasions, of the inhabitants of ti' d county. I must say, that generally speaking, with Ir e I exceptions, for which on public and private grounds wh a l am very grateful, that I and my principles have found ' 0 . 1) ; little support from protestant dissenters. I have no clo u io that this opposition was consistent, and far be it from tne, to shackle the exercise of the franchise ; but I may be alloweri ee express on behalf of those who differ from me on this subco matter more than gratitude when I have desired support I ; be them. And this I must say, that from no quarter of 0a county, have I received a more prompt and gratifyiPg 1 1 0 , honourable support, I will not say to myself, but to they l v is ciples of that good government which I think I maintain, t at I have found from some of the gentry of the Roman Cati' t : a s persuasion. (Great cheering.) I trust, gentlemen, it ‘.4 honourably asked. lam sure it wa s honour a bly and fr 3l o l ;s given ; and I have no he s it a ti on i n p ro p os i ng to Yn tl i j a g 4 toast, which I am sure you will d r i n k w ith the same fee. v 4o which actuate me in naming it—viz., the healths of Sir J`„ r y Gerard, Mr. Trafford, Mr. Scarisbrick, and the catholic servatives of the county. (Immense cheering.) Of The Hon. R. B. 'WILBRAHAM, who was labouring 10 1 severe indisposition, experienced, as usual, a most 00 .,t1i reception. He said—My lords and gentlemen, indulge" 1 0 I have always found you. when I have had the happine s oe meet you in public assembly, I must beg to claim your,lit i$ cial consideration this day. I have merely to say, tt l , Ir s what fell from my eloquent and noble colleague, Ache', tout toast he was at a loss to account for the cheers with whie'd toast had been received, I could not concur. I assure 1 5 ,5 l that I felt not a little vain in thinking that any part 0f t" ~., th i applause was designed for me ; but I am fully alive 'ol' advantage of having my noble and right hon. friend for A O' league, and that the chief share of right belongs to s oi Every day, gentlemen, that passes over my head, I see g re a , 09 reasons to rejoice in the principles which I adopted fr ° s . bij childhood, and which induced your hard exertions in 91 3 c 1i.: half, and enabled me to speak from the position in W i!p now stand.
