Its vitality, however, does not appear of a very en during character ; and it will pass to its doom— whenever that doom arrives—with few to mourn over it, and fewer still to bestow upon those who compose it, the tribute of respect and affection. It will be said of it, that it l: as hastened what, for good or for evil, may well be regarded as a crisis in the destinies of this country. It may be said of its .head, and of its more prominent members, that they have sacrificed the interests of party to their convic tions of public duty. They will descend into pri vate life with something like a crown of martyrdom upon their heads. The base metal will be gilded by the assertion of patriotism, as their inducing motive; yet the coin will be found but a counterfeit after all. It will not ring; it is short of weight; and the hard-hearted and unimaginative trader, to whom it is offered, will nail it to his counter as a specimen of spurious material, and, probably, hand over the utterer to the guari:iianship of a police official. We are not about to join in the recent personal attacks which have been made upon Sir Robert Peel for the course which he has seen fit to pursue upon the questions with which parliament is now dealing. The private character of that right hon. gentleman is, to us, a security that he would not, willingly and premeditatedly, do anything which could be charac terized as politically profligate. We shall not, how ever, compromise our honesty, by concealing the impression, which a dispassionate consideration of his career, as a politician and a minister, has forced upon us, t"at he has wofully and signally departed from that straight-forward course which ought to be the path of great statesmen. We cannot condes cend to blink the expression of what we conceive to be the truth. There is, independent of the right course, a consistent course, for every statesman to pursue. Sir Robert Peel may have pursued the first. He may be right, now. We may be wrong in finding fault with that course. A consistent course, however, he has not pursued ; and we are almost inclined to believe, that danger as great is to be apprehended from the glaringly public expedi tion of th.t inconsistency in a statesman, as is feared as the result of the measures with respect to which it has been displayed. . We have been in the habit of regarding the ex pressed opinions of public men as founded upon some definite principle—some settled conviction. We look upon the leading statesman of this, or that, party, as an exponent of the opinions and feelings of a definite portion of the community. His influ ence in a representative system of government is base.l upon, and dependent upon, this principle. Sir Robert Peel, however, demurs to this long recognised state of things. He tells us, practically, that the he'd of the column is to move the base; that the representation of any given amount of pub lic opinion is free to direct his influence in complete contravention of such public opinion. We have been looking up to him for the maintenance of a certain policy—laid down by himself—the justice and wisdom of which we have been impressed with from his own lips; yet he claims a right to turn rJunl, and say to us, the time has come when I must pursue an opposite course," and to drag us with him. Can we help asking, in such a case, " how have you arrived at your new conviction ? by what process? in what time? Is it the conviction of a day, or of a crisis, or has it been making way, silently, for years ?" A further enquiry suggests itself—" are you serious now? Is there any secu rity that we may not some day be called upon to bear you announce another, and, perhaps, an oppo site, conviction." There is, obviously, no such se curity. We cannot point to one recorded opinion, or one enunciated principle of acting, of a statesman n'ho recognises such a code of political morality, and say, " here, at least, we are safe." The new light may bP breaking in upon his mind even now. The scale, which we are destined hereafter to he told has dimmed his political vision, may be just begin ning to lose its opaqueness, or may be almost gone. The oracle may be only beginning to shake off its torpor, or may be ready to startle us with some new discovery. To trust, in such a case, is to be idiotic. Confidence in the professions of public men are per fectly incompatible with the existence of such a sys tem of political morality, which overturns the whole action of the constitution itself, by rendering the re presentative principle, upon which it is based, a farce and a delusion. It is not for us to speculate here upon the next probable movement of the professors of this lax mo rality; whether the sugar duties, the Irish church, the repeal of the legislative union between the two countries, the recognition of a non-religious system of education, or some measure more directly affect ing the liberties of the subject and the security of the state, are destined to be the field of its exercise. A far more pertinent enquiry would be—what is to be the course of the British people to protect them selves from the vagaries of these men, who have thus thrown from them even the shadow of respon sibility, and declared openly, that we are not to rely upon their professions, or their pledges? Happily, Sir Robert Peel himself has afforded us a clue to aid us in such an enquiry. _ _ " Her Majesty's advisers saw that the time had arrived when these measures must be conceded ; and `►hey resolved at once to undertake the task of their settlement." This is the stereotyped announce ment of every measure of apostacy. Why has the time arrived ? Why is that a necessary and a wise -c now, which, last year, or a few years ago, same men told us was pregnant with ruin to measure, these . . the empire ? We answer—because we have been sleeping at our posts, whilst the workers of mischief have been actively mining, around and beneath us. We have let in the small rill, and stood unresistingly by until it has grown into a flood—until " the time has come" when its onward progress must no longer be impeded ! We have neglected the wise maxim, " obsta principiis." We have overlooked the seeds, and feebly contended against the growth, of disease in the body politic, until" the time has come" when the physician has to insist upon amputation. Take, for an example of our meaning, the posi tion of the conservative body of the nation, with respect to the pending measures for the withdrawal of protection from native industry. 'We have seen, for years, a powerful and well-organised body—the Anti-Corn-Law League—industriously inoculating the public mind with convictions of the necessity of a free trade in food—a free interchange of commo dities with foreign countries, to the exclusion of all consideration for the interests of a large mass of the native producers. That body appealed to our selfish ness—to the cupidity of the capitalist, the manufac turer, and the small trader—to the ignorance of the artizan and the labourer. Was anything like a firm stand made against the spread of this movement ? Were those, even, who are now moving so vigour ously to arrest its triumph, at their posts ? They were not. They were immersed in petty projects of their own ; following, in extatic gratulation, at the heals of a minister who, having drawn them to the brink of a precipice, is now throwing them over. They were busy urging on enclosure bills, cutting down workhouse dietaries, securing slices of tithe property, supporting long hours of factory labour, an d introducing, for their own benefit, small ends of the wedges which, when driven home, are des tined annihilate them. A n d whilst they have been thus engaged—thus running purblind to their own destruction, drawn on by the scent of treasury pickings and petty corruption " the time has come !" They find themselves, in the day of trial, helpless and unarmed. They have no strong sym pathy in the heart of the nation to fall back upon. There must he an end of this apathy—this selfish indifference. This is one step towards protection of the interests of the nation from betrayal. But we must do more than this. We must protest, as a nation, and prepare to struggle as a nation, against the recognition of expediency, as our sole guide in legislation. There is something, surely, beyond considerations of mere human selfishness, which ought to govern the world. We have, as a nation, a divine mission to fulfil, or we should not have been so abundantly blessed and strengthened from above; we should not have been a Christian people. There is such a thing as immutable truth in the world, whilst we are entangling ourselves in the mazes of a crude philosophy, and sacrificing that truth at the shrine of a contemptible and selfish expediency, which is but the thing of an hour. Our first step must he to recognize the existence of that truth; to proclaim it as our guide, from which no temporal considerations will be suffered to withdraw us; and to rally only by the side of honest and faithful men, who take it as their standard. Here is the sure protection of the nation against the power of the mere worldly statesman—the man, who, looking only at the balance of parliamentary influence, the strength of party feeling or party lethargy out of doors, the possibility of attaching to him this or that section of politicians by a stroke of policy, turns round, evzr and anon, upon the nation, and prefaces the announcement of his political apostacy by informing us that "the time is come," when he can no longer be consistent with himself, or keep faith with those who have confided in him. We must not advance to the work of raising this healthy feeling in the public mind with the ordinary weapons and appliances only of party warfare in our hands. We have tried these ; and we have faile I. " The time is come" when we must no longer be deluded with the notion that it is enough for us to follow the advice of that statesman, whose fall from rectitude we have so great occasion to deplore, and conclude with him that "the battle of the constitu tion is to be fought in the registration courts." It is to be fought in men's hearts. It is to be won only by impressing there the conviction that what is morally wrong can never be politically right; and that a nation which depatts from its God, he will not uphold ! We fought the battle of the registra tion ; the result placed in office a Conservative Mi nistry, with a Conservative party in Parliament paramount in strength and influence. Yet by that Ministry, and from that Parliament, have been dealt, against the constitution, the liberties, the religion of the nation, blows which the most infidel and repub lican legislature durst never have attempted. By that Ministry the industry of the nation is about to he laid prostrate ; and our holy and revered Church is only tolerated until the bond of alliance now forming with dissent and popery is sufficiently ce mented to enable them to proclaim to us that " the time is come" for its betrayal—l eni ineluctabile tempus. The accounts from the seat of war on the Rio Grande, brought by the Great Britain steamer, re cord little beyond vs hat was anticipated as the imme diate sequel of the victories achieved by General Taylor's army. The city of Matamoras had fallen, without a blow being struck in its defence, and General Taylor had established himself on the Mexi can side of the Rio Grande, where he proposed to fix his quarters during the hot weather. In the meantime the American squadron has blockaded Vera Cruz ; and it is intimated, by the now ram pant war party in the United States, that it may be necessary, in the absence of prompt submission on the part of Mexico, not only to blockade the ports on her sea-board, to occupy California, New Mexi co and Tamaulipas, but to bombard St. Juan d' Ulloa into submission. The Mexican authorities, on the other hand, are active in their preparations for defence; and the fate of the Government of Paredes appears to de pend upon its success. The army, however, by which General Taylor was opposed, is said to have nearly dispersed; and great difficulty is anticipated in reassembling another of equal strength. As a proof of Mexican earnestness, however, the Ameri can Consuls in all the trading ports and cities are ordered to suspend their functions; and all Ame rican citizens are ordered to leave the country in eight days. The prognostications of the American journals are, that Paredes will be prevented from following out his understood determination, and peace be restored to the United States by a revolution, which will bring back Santa Anna to the head of the Mexican Government. The feeling of excitement which exists in the union on the subject of this Mexican quarrel does not extend toward the relations of the model republic with Great Britain. It is already found that war costs money; that volunteers, however bellicose, must have rations, and clothing, and arms. The surplus revenue is rapidly vanishing ; the issue of treasury bonds is in prospect ; the consummation of the banking scheme is being indefinitely post poned, and a reduction of tariff duties is becoming daily a more impracticable event. Independently of these sedatives, another material consideration, of a kind which Brother Jonathan seldom shuts his eyes to, has rendered him of late moderately civil towards Great Britain. The consideration in question is thus glanced at in the city article of the New York Morning Herald of the Bth instant : " Our exports to Great Britain and dependiences, con tinue in ab ,ut the same proportion to the aggregate as previously reported, and comprise the most valuable part of our foreign export trade. The exports to Great Britain from the South. are a larger per cent of the aggregate than those from the North. The commercal relations be tween England and the United States are of the most valuable nature, particularly to the principal interests of this country. Toe balance of trade between the two countries is annually largely in our favour, and as the variety of our exports increase, larger markets will spring up for our produr tons. Oar shipments of breadstuffs and provisions to Great Britain, within the past five or six years, have increased immensely, and the facilities we now enjoy, in the entry of our products into llritish ports, compared with those of former yerrs, will open a trade between the two countries in the agricultural products of the North, hardly second to that now existing in the principal agricultural products of the South. The re moval of the restrictions contemplated under the new Corn Bill of Sir Robert Peel's, will ultimately give us markets for oar breadstuffs—we say ultimately, because it will require some time to extend the cultivation of grain in this country, sufficient to bring prices down to a point low enough to enable us to compete successfully with the grain growing countries more favourably situated to anticipate us in any demand for breadstuffs in the United Kiiw clam," With this feeling as to the advantage to America of the preservation of amicable relations with this country, we have little fear of the favourable settle ment of the Oregon question being achieved. With respect to the relations between our Cana dian settlements and the United States, if we can believe the transatlantic newspapers, they are fast settling themselves. The J ew York Morning Herald, quoting the proceedings of a meeting of the Whig party, from the Montreal Pilot, remarks,— " We look upon the proceedings of this banquet as very sign ticant of the direction that the popular will is taking in Canada. It is beyond question that nine-tenths of the people are in favour of a republican fcrw of Go vernment." We fear it must come to this ; although the pear will perhaps hang on the tree a little longer. We have given, in another column, an extract from the speech of Mr. D'lsraeli, delivered on Tuesday last, containing the evidence adduceable in support of the charge brought against Sir Robert Peel by Lord George Bentinck, of having dealt disingenuously—in fact, of 'having " hunted to death" his noble relative, the late George Canning. A spirit Of fairness would have prompted us to give Sir Robert's reply, delivered on Friday evening. Its extreme length, however, extending over six co lumns of the Times, and a discursiveness not usual with that statesman, utterly precludes us from giving any portion of it in his own words; and we must therefore content ourselves with a summary of its leading details. The charge was of a two-fold nature ; first, that having in 1829, during the debate upon the Catho lic Relief Bill, admitted that in a communication made to Lord Liverpool in 1825, he had asked to be relieved from office, urging, as his reason for doing so, that he had become convinced that something must be done for the settlement of the question, and that, therefore, he acted unfairly towards Mr. Canning in withdrawing his support from that statesman in 1827 ; and, secondly, that he had pro cured the insertion of a garbled report of the speech of 1829 in Hansard's debates, omitting the particu lar passage, upon which the charge was founded. Mr. D'lsraeli supported the views of Lord George Bentinck, by producing the report of the Mirror of Parliament and of the London Times, in both of which was to be found the omitted passage. It was a disputed question whether the admission to Lord Liverpool of his change of opinion was in a written or a verbal communication. To prove that it could not have bee-i the former, Sir Robert had his correspondence between them, in the year in question, brought from his country seat ; and there was no trace there of its having been thus made. After entering into a long argument and quoting several contemporary documents, to prove that such an admission could not have been made by him ver bally, he proceeded to examine the authority of the Mirror of Parliament, by which the passage of the speech of 1829 was reported. He had referred to four contemporary papers, each having separate corps of reporters, namely, the Morning Chronicle. Morning Post, Morning Journal, and Morning Herald, in none of which was to be found that passage. It was contained only in the reports of the Mirror of Parliament and the Times,. But how were the reports of the Mirror got up ? The paper had not a separate corps of reporters. It was made out of the best portions of the most extended re ports of the gentlemen engaged on the Times, Chro nicle, and Herald, who met together daily to com pare their notes, and write out the speeches amongst them. en the occasion in question, from its agree ing with the Times, the passage disputed must be concluded to have been supplied from the notes of the Times reporter. Sir Robert Peel argued, from these data, that there were three authorities in his favour for one against him (the Mirror of Parlia ment counting as nothing); and that it was more likely that the passage was interpolated by the one, than omitted by the three. We can scarcely admit the correctness of this view, as to the probability of interpolation. Such is not the practice of reporters, who are more apt to omit than to interpolate. In the report of the 'limes containing the passage, the reporter is made to state that Sir Robert was very imperfectly heard in the gallery, which might account for the error on one side or the other. The most important feature in the controversy is the fact that the speech of Sir Robert was not corrected by him for Hansard, but for John Murray, the eminent publisher, who pos sessed the copyright of such corrected speech, and supplied it to Hansard by Sir Robert Peel's inter cession. Hansard, let it be borne in mind, had his usual reporters present, whose substantial correct ness has always been proverbial, and who would have detected the omission of so important a pas sage, had it been uttered. Here the question rests ; and here, we presume, it must rest. In justice to Sir Robert Peel, how ever, we do not think that the stigma of having uttered the sentence and the delinquency with which it would mark his conduct, to Mr. Canning, cannot, on the present evidence, and after so great a lapse of time, be properly attached to his cha racter. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. PRINCE ALBERT'S APPROACHING VISIT. We have already given the probable routine of proceed ings on this interesting occasion. The only new particu lars, at all in a state to be pronounced upon with cer tainty. are the facts that the royal yacht, the Fairy, will be ordered round from Portsmouth, for the use, if re quired, of his royal highness, and that provision is to be made for a number of our fair townswomen at the Albert Duck warebouses, where a splendid dejeuner wsll be given on the occasion. The statements, given by several of our contemporaries, with respect to devices of all sorts covering the buildings round the Exchange area, the number of the invitations given, the illumination of the Town-hall and other similar particulars, are pure inven tions. Nothing of the sort is determined upon ; and, with respect to the course of the procession, and manv other matters, the statements are only probabilities. Nothing decisive is arranged ; nothing can be arranged, until the prince's pleasure is known; and it would therefore be only misleading our readers, and perhaps imposing upon them inconvenient and expensive preparation., to give them further circulation in our columns. Everything, we are assured, will be done by the committee to gratify their fellow-townsmen. There is one matter to which attention has been directed by a number of correspondents, viz.. the desirableness of of his Royal Highness's visit being made a general holiday to the tradesmen and working classes of the town. It will, to a great extent, be so in any event. The shops in the line of the procession will be closed as a matter of pru dence, and even necessity; and it would materially pro mote order, if a general holiday on the occasion were re commended at once, and arrangements made to dissipate the crowds, who will flock into the streets in inconveni ent numbers, by amusements or shows in various parts of the town. It would not, either, be an unworthy step on the part of the parish authorities, if the fare at the work house were made a generous one on that day, and the visit of royalty to our town be made an occasion of rejoic ing to our poor fellow-townsmen. The public, we are as sured. are waiting with some:anxiety for intimation as to how the •• Prince's Committee" wish the days to be ob served by the inhabitants generally. The Liverpool Sanatory Bill passed the Standing Orders Committee of the Lords, on Friday. On Sunday last, the sum of thirty-tvsepounds was col lected at Wallasey Church for the Church Missionary Society, after sermons by the Rev. W. W. Ewbank and the Rev. Dr. Byrtb. On Sunday morning last, after a sermon by the Rev. S. W. Saunders, Vicar of St. Ishmael's, Pembrokeshire, the sum of this teen pounds was collected in West Derby Chapel, for the Incorporated Society for Building, &c., Churches. TERMINATION OF THE STRIKE.—We have elsewhere announced that the strike at Birkenhead was at an end, and we are extremely glad to say that the struggle has also ceased in Liverpool. The master-masons have re solved to yield the 275. per week to the men, and half an hour refreshment time each afnrnoon. LAUNCH —To-morrow, at eleven o'clock, a splendid new ship, of about 600 tons, will be launched from the bdilding-yard of Messrs. P. Chaloner and Sons, Baffin street. She has been built for John Worrall, Esq., and is intended for the Calcutta trade. She will be command ed by Captain Williams, late master of the Robert Finnie. CHURCH EXTENSION.—We understand that the Lord Bishop of Chester will preach in St. Michael's, Pitt street, on the morning of Sunday, July sth, in behalf of the Building Fund of St. Simon's Church. We are happy to know this, as we regret to learn that, owing to some public societies being unable to make the exp cted grants, there is still a considerable deficiency in the fund requisite for completing the church. We tru,t that the attendance of friends will be numerous, and their contri butions liberal on the cccasion. The first stone of the church will be laid on the 14th of July. POLICE COURT, YEsTEßDAY.—Georgeina Dowling, for robbing a man named Michael Kennedy, in Waterloo road of 7s. 6d and a tobacco-box ori Saturday night, was committed to gaol for two months.—A woman named Mary Coke was charged with robbing a flatman from Lancaster of two £lO notes, and a £5 note from his pc r son on Saturday night, in Salthouse-lane, ani the case being so far proved, (though no money was found upon her,) she was committed for trial at the sessions.—A res pectably dressed young man was charged with robbing a gentleman named Tapson, in Anon-street, of some clothing and a few articles of jewellery. The prisoner's brother-in-law lodged in the house, and the prisoner was in the habit of getting his meals there. Some of the articles were found at pawnbrokers. He was committed for trial. GREAT HEAT OF TOE WEATHER.—Dur'ng the whole of the past week the weather in this rn ighbourhood has been literally scorching, the extreme elevation of the ther mometer having been, on Tuesday last, 71 degs.,Wednes day, 80, Thursday, 83, Friday, 79, Saturday, 71, Sunday, 78, and yesterday 81 degrees. This is a very high average. On the 7th instant, however, the greatest hew. rea-hed 87, an elevation which it has not attained since the commence ment of the present century. In the commencement of 1842 we had a similar hot month, the extreme temperature on the 12th of June being 86. It differed, however, from the present month, the latter portion of it being marked by heavy rains. In June, 1826, the thermometer reached 84 degrees, with great drought throughoutthe month. We had nothing so high es this since the June of 1799, when the thermometer, we believe, approached 9J degrees. We have not, however. the precise temperature at hand ; but are correct in stating that it was the highest on record. Yesterday we had some thunder, with a refreshing shower, which must have been most grateful to the parched vege tation; and the atmosphere at present indicates a further fell. DISTRESSING CALAMITY. —A. most melancholy oc currence took place on rtoeab F rntori r w, to i a d adrf a ydr;o y e are ei n itu g tehlixaeb l ty a ye( s ).n t osrstmf o i rv n este: theWelch emisaodesast : ttaooi coast, and life. m Q uaaboutrr ilbeinsyx otwmlf, Rhos,li es h e i f e M r h o b r md . o j u c ß s half a mile. A company of gentlemen, of whom Mr. Bernard was one, have taken a lease of these quarries, and a railway and leading stages, with other works have been constructed between the quarries and the sea. On Friday ;ast, Mr. Arthur Holme of this town, under whose superintendence the works r.re being done, was engaged during the day, principally in levelling, and was assisted by Mr. Bernard. The day having been intensely hot, and both parties fatigued, Mr. Bernard proposed that they should bathe about seven o'clock in the evening. Mr. Holme, Mr. Bernard, and another young gentleman named Phillips, accordingly pushed off from the edge of the hay in the boat and dropped the anchor about twenty yards from the shore where the water was only about six feet deer. While Mr. Holme was dropping the anchor Mr. Bernard undressed and plunged in, the former having only taken off his coat. Mr. Bernard made one stroke, when suddenly throwing up both his bands, he turned on his back and sunk in that po sition. His companions shouted to the workmen who were employed on the stage, and both of them plunged in after him. Mr. Phillips having unfortunately got his left arm entangled in his shirt sleeve, was himself in imminent danger, and his life was saved with difficulty ; but, Mr. Holme, who is an excellent swimmer, dived several times to the bottom, but a strong tide ebbing, he was unable to reach his friend. He had the presence of mind to pot a stocking on a boat hook, and several men plunging into the water to his aid, they soon got out the body, but not withstanding that not more than seven or ten minutes had elapsed, it was too late, for life was quite extinct. Every application that could he resorted to was tried, but in vain ; and there is no doubt, but the sudden plunge, after exposure all day in such intense heat, had caused internal cramp, for after the first stroke he sunk to the bottom with his face upwards, arid m-ide no motion, the water in that place being clear as chrtstal. Mr. Bernard had formerly been of the firm of Bernard and Ledson, extensive ware house keepers in this town, and he was about to become the resident manager of the quarries in question. He was deservedly respected, and his sudden and melancholy end has plunged an extensive circle into profound grief. DEATH OF CHARLES HORSFALL, ESQ We have this week to record the death of . one of the oldest and most respected of those " merchant princes," who ,, e career of honour and utility is intimately a,soci ated with the growth and present eminence of the port of Liverpool. We refer to Mr. Charles Horsfall, who ex pired on Thursday last. at his residence at Crosby. For about ha'f a century Mr. Horsfall has been a resident in Liverpool, conducting an extensive foreign trade—of late in partnership with his sons; and during that period has won, by his strict integrity and punctuality, the esteem of his contemporaries, and afforded to all around him a pattern of the true charac►er of a British merchant. That his excellent qualities have been justly appreciated, it is due to his fellow-townsmen to acknowledge. For a considerable period of his li!e he was honoured by a seat in the Town Council, where his talents, and the good sense displayed by him upon the multifarious subjects coming before the consideration of that body, were con spicuously shewn ; and in 1832 and 3 he was elected to the Mayoralty, su-ceeding in that office a merchant of his own standing, Mr. Samuel Sandbach. Until within - the last two or three years, when his health partially failed him, and his age called for relaxa tion and a relief from the toils and cares of public life, Mr. Horsfall continued untiringly to devote himself to the service of his fellow-townsmen, and to the advance ment of the interests of this great port. He was a firm and yet humane magistrate; most efficient and liberal in his mayoralty ; and as a member of the Dock Commit tee, whiei office he filled up to the close of his public life, his great commercial exp'rience and the soundness of his views were invaluihle to his colleagues. Although in private as in public life roost conscientious, he was tolerant, on all occasions, of the consciences or the opi nions of others; whilst he would never submit to be turned aside, by any consideration, from the course which in his heart he believed to be a just and true one. The charities of the town have lost in him a munificent sup porter ; and his private beneficence, which was large, will be severely missed by the deserving unfortunate of his fellow-creatures. In private life—in all the relations of husband and of father—Mr. Horsfall was exemplary and beloved; and will be lamented very far beyoad the circle of his imme diate family and Mends. Mr. Alderman Thomas Berry Horsfall, his eldest son, and a son worthy to tread in the steps and inherit the honours and estimation of such a father, will by this event become the head of the firm, of which he has lone been the most active member.

SINGULAR FREAK OF TWO YOUNG WOMEN FROM HULL, AND THEIR DISCOVERY IN LIVERPOOL, IN SAILORS' ATTIRE. FOR THE PURPOSE OF GOING TO SEA. Yesterday, much interest and curiosity were excited at the Parish-office, in Fenwick-street, in this town, by the discovery that two fine young, and apparently respectable female servants, latterly from Hull, and in neat sailors' clothing, had been endeavouring to be engaged in the mercantile marine, and afterwards in the royal navy. As, in the latter service, a personal examination by a surgeon, of candidates, is required, this ordeal, before it was carried beyond the stripping off of their garments, was the means of inducing one of them, from a feeling of modesty, to reveal their sex ; andl they were; accordingly sent to the Parish-office, so that they might be redeemed from their rash intention of going to sea, (which they most strenuous►y prosecuted,) and sent back to their friends. Both are good looking, bouncing lasses, and both were dressed in round blue jackets and vests ; one wearing white twowsers and the other blue, each with a sailor handkerchief, hat, &e., in the neatest style. Their hair was cut short, and they appeared 'lice two sprightly youths bent upon making their fortunes by crossing the high sea., and delighted with the prospects of the hazardous line of life they had chosen. Our reporter was politely introduced to both of them. in a room at the Parish-office, and found the younger of the two the more communicative, though she declined to account for the extraordinary resolution they had taken, which, however, there is some reason to suppose, origi nated in a freak, or, quite as probably, a love affair. From what we could learn from their own lips, and especially from the younger, the following is their history :—They are both the daughters of small farmers, and both the parents of each are still living. The younger girl said her name w-ss Caroline Sarah Abbey, and she was seventeen and a half years of age. Her companion, named Harriet Palmer, was one year older. Caroline was a native of Yorkshire, and, at the age of thirteen, went to service, at Appleton. She then went into the service of a gentleman in the same county, where she re mained for two years. She had met that gentleman to day (yesterday), in Liverpool, and be did not recognise her in her sailor's attire, though lie looked sharply at her. She then went to service at a gentleman's house in Sheffield, and was there three years. She afterwards went to London, to the Temperance Commercial Hotel, in Well-street, where she acted as housemaid, for a year and a ha/f. She thence got to H ull, to the Blue Bell Lin, in the Market-place, where she was employed as bar maid. The other girl, Harriet, was head cook at the same establishment. They became acquainted, and made up their minds to go to sea. They acted as tonseurs in cutting off the long portion of each other's hair. The girl Harriet was born at Barton, in Lincolnshire. She stated that she had, in her younger days, milked many a score of cows. She went to service at twelve years of age; was three years at her first place at Barton, and afterwards two years at Barrow ; thence back to Barrow, and from that place to the Blue Bell, at Hull, where she acted as cook for eight months. A month after, Caroline came to the house ; she (the last) suggested going to sea. Both gave notice to leave, but Caroline's was not entertained, and she left without her wages, in company with the other. They purchased their sailor's clothes in Hull, and when dressed in them, were not recognised even at their lodgings. Their female apparel they wrapped up and sent home to their mothers. They paid their fares by rail to Manchester, when, their money becoming short, they walked from that town. to this, stopping at Warrington during the night, and arrived here on Friday. On Saturday, they went together to several shipping offices, and also to the Sailors' Home, to obtain berths in a vessel. Promises were made to ship them in merchant vessels, and they stated their belief that they would have got away, but that a young man persuaded them to go on board of a man-of-war, and they applied at the naval office. (They had on the previous night slept at a lodging-house, its a bed by themselves, and in this room also slept two sailors, but their sex was not discovered. Caroline went to the Prince's Dock on Saturday, and a captain would have taken her on board, but as he would not also take Harriet, the agreement did not come off, as they would not part.) The commander at the naval office said they were fine strapping lads. A young man bad offered himself at the same time, and they were all three sent for physical ex amination to Mr. Craig, surgeon. The young man was examined first in a room by himself. The two girls were then called in, and required to strip. They both took off their jackets, but being pressed to go farther in the pro cess of disnuding, they confessed their sex. Caroline had assumed the name of "Tom Jackson," and the other of " Harry King," and it appeared they used these names co, s'reently throughout,—for on questioning them, they called each other " he," and " Tom" and " Harry." 'They went back to the Sailors' Home; but some intimation of their sex having got abroad, they were looked after by Mr. Rowland, of the Parish-office (in the absence of Mr. Gray), and brought to the Parish-cffi,:e. They both stated that had not a second doctor (or young man) been brought in, they would have passed inspection by the first, and obtained their desire of being enrolled in the navy, fur which they appeared to be exceedingly inclined, though, on being reasoned with, they said that, being found out, they would relinquish their adventure. They were seen at the Parish-office by several gentlemen from 'Change, who had heard of the circumstance. Harriet is the elde,t of six children by the same parents, Caroline out of a family of thirteen brothers and sisters. The tatter said she had been most kindly treated by a lady of Yorkshire, who had sent her to school, and that she could write, draw, play the piano, &c. She also referred to the great kindness of a brother-in-law. - It was finally determined at the Parish-office, that they should both (as they appeared to be respectable) be com fortably domiciled last night at the house of Mr. Row land, and that they should be provided with female attire, and sent home to their parents by railway this day. The probability is, that their sweethearts had gone, or pur posed going to sea, and that they bad gone off in seamen's guise in quest of them. PRESENTATION.—On Tuesday last, which was the concluding day of the examination of the young females instructed at the Girls' School of the Mechanics' Institu tion. (Blackburne House,) the pupils presented to their highly.esteenied teacher, Miss Jones, a valuable gold chain, as a token of the esteem and respect which they entertain for her, from her untiring exertions and atten ti.,n to their mental improvement and general welfare. DEATH BY DROWNING.—On Sunday morning the body of a man named Jchn Wilding, aged about twenty, was found near Beacon's Gutter, on the north shore. The deceased had gone into the water to bathe, and getting out of his depth he was drowned. When the tide retired the bcdy was left on the strand. The deceased was a servant in the stables of the brewery belonging to Mr. George Wright, in Union-street ; and a fellow servant, William Ashcroft was with him at the water's edge when deceased went in. but having gone away did not witness the a cci dent. The body was found by another person. - - CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS' ANNIVERSARY.- The anniversary meeting of the schools connected with the Established Church will be held on Thursday next, the 25th instant. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. Dr. Veil, , High Master of Repton School. It must b highly gratis} irg to all true friends of the Church of En2,land to rem; ik the increase in the number of children reuis ing the int stirnable benefits of a sound scrireural education in tic principles of our national Church. Nor is the oreaqion or e to call forth the sympathies of the Friends of the School alone, but also of all those who are true lovers of their country. For from the education imparted to the children,we may have good ground to hope that they will grow up honest, peaceable, and industrious members of society. We therefore trust that on such an interesting occasion, the attendance will prove how deeply the com munity at large is interested in the advancement of Scrip tural education, and that the collection will be such as to enable the managers of the various schools to extend and I advance the great object in which they are engaged. VISIT OF IBRAHIM PACHA TO LIVERPOOL About half-past ten o'clock on Friday night, this illustri ous personage arrived in Liverpool by train from Manches ter,and immediately proceededto the Adelphi lintel, where apartments hid been ordered for himself and suite. At six on Saturday morning he enjoyed his favourite hookah for about half an hour at one of the windows facing Mount pleasant, and breakfasted about 7 ; after which he started in an open landau, with two hnrses and pos'iliun, to the Brunswick Dock, accompanied by Nabar Effendi, his in terpreter, Colonel Bonfort, and Major Dickson. After inspecting the graving docks end the Brunswick D )ck, his highness alighted and went on board a vessel lying there, ike Greenock, with whose appearance and condi tion he seemed much pleased. lie drove next to the Coburg Dock, and viewed, but did not board, the American steamers, although, we believe, invited. the Cambria and Hibernia. He next inspected minutely the Albert Dock Warehouses, &c. After looking at the Graving Docks, at their southern end, he walked on to George's Pier, whence he took the view of the river. He was then driven along the east side of the Prince's, Waterloo, Victoria, Trafalger and Clarence Docks, and thence to the New Dock Works at the north end of the town, where he was met by Mr. Hartley, the Dock Sur veyor, who pointed out every object and project of inter est in that part of the town. On his return he was received in the Waterloo road by the Mayor and the Chairman of the Dock Committee, Mr. Bramley niore, in the state carriage, by whom he was accompanied into town, proceeding along Cha pel-street, Rumford-street, Castle -street, Lord-street, Church-street and Ranelagh-street to the Adelphi, where he took luncheon and again inhaled his Hookah, It may appear singular, without some explanation, why his Worship the Mayor, and the Chairman of the Duck Committee, did not accompany the Pacha in the whole of the route. The fact is, that they made arrangements to do so, and arrived at the Adelphi for the purpose, where they found Major Dickson, whom his highness, in his baste to gratify his curiosity, had declined to have disturbed. On finding that the bird had flown, they set out in search of him, and met him as above described. The object of his highness appeared to be, exclusively, to inspect the docks, their working, &c., and to carry home with him any infortnazion which he could turn to the practical advan tage of his people. The public buildings of the town he had no curiosity to see; and, although on his return to the Adel phi, he was waited uponby a deputation from the East India and China Association, headed by the Deputy-Chairman, Mr. Thomas Sands, by whom he was induced to visit the Town Hall, where be seated himself in the ('ouncil Chamber, the uses of which were explained to him by the Mayor, and went through the ball-room, &c.; he refused to go on 'Change, pleading his incognito character and the strictly private object of his visit. Atter returning to his Hotel, and partaking of dinner, the Pacha proceeded with his suite at half-past seven o'clock to the Clarence Dock, from which they embarked for Belfast. His Highness's purpose is to examine the process of the flax and linen manufacture. He intends also visiting Leeds for the same purpose, previous to his return to London. His Highness, we understand, is very free in his man ner, with nothing of the courtier in his demeanour, although dignified and most striking t,) the observer. We believe be expressed himself in high terms of gratification with his visit, and with the mode in which he had been received. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, think it high time that one universal protest should be made against the " Judges' Lodgings" being deemed a fit residence for the Prince Ci•nsort ; more ineli gible premises could not have been selected for the purpose as to locality, which has, of late, deteriorated in respect a• billy to such an extent that its selection is a positive insult to his Royal Highness. The only building i❑ town pre eminently adapted for his accommodation is our noble Town-hall, which might be forthwi►h prepared. The Prince would be more appropriately, and, at the same time, more honourably entertained there than elsewhere, for the Town-hall has a palace-like exterior about it, which ought to be a consideration in every thing apper taining to Royalty. While on this subject. Mr. Editor, an idea has just occurred to me about the Town-hall. I should like it to be called the Mansion-house, and to be come the official residence of the Mayor of Liverpool. Why should not the Mayor have an official residence? Is Liverpool such a second-rate town that it is unworthy of being so distinguished in the person of its Chief Magis trate? Our Corporation can afford to allow the Mayor his state and private carriage. Why not make the allow ance unique, and provide him with a mansion? I throw out the hint, and hope you will take it up, and that the Corporation will adopt it. I conclude in calling on the authorities to reconsider their decision as to the residence to be provided fur Prince Albert on so august an occasion. I am quite sure the " Judges' Lodgings" ought to he abandoned ; the house, though a good one, has too private a character about it, and its locale is altogether excep tionable. I am, Sir, yours most respectfully, Liverpool, 22nd July, 1846. T. H SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY.

On Thursday last, a public meeting was held at Run corn, when a memor;al was agreed to be pres , mted to the Postmaster-General, to establish a provincial pest-office in the town, which, though having eight thousand in habitants, is merely a branch of Prestonbrolk post-office, a village with a population of only four hundred. CHINESE UMBRELLAS.—A vessel, called the Larpent, which has arrived at Liverpool, from Shanghae, China, in addition to an extensive cargo of tea, silku, and other productions, has brought 100 umbrel'as of Chinese manu facture. So singular an importation is remarkable, not so much for the extent or the value of the articles, as for the novelty of their supply from that distant country. THE `TEAM-SHIP WINDSHE.—In our recent account of this beautiful weamer, we, by mistake, stated that she was to he employed on the station between this port and Waterford, whereas she was destined to run between this port and Belfast. Our statement, we learn, excited some astonishment amongst parties connected with the Water ford Steam Company, who, though they have fine ves sels, are naturally in no hurry to find such a competitor as the Windsor on their line. We should here ware— having omitted the fact in our account—that the Windsor is commanded by Captain Davies, formerly of the Ath lone, a gentl , man well acquainted with the navigation, and of great urbanity of mariners. His highness Ibrahim Pacha, whose visit to this town we notice in another place, embarked in the Windsor, on Saturday night, for Brlfast. EXTRAORDINARY SHOT!—The following account from an American officer engaged in the recent battles on the Rio Grande, is highly characteristic of the modesty of the nation :—" At half-past II o'clock the enemy opened their batteries, and how awful was the scene; balls flew in every direction, and the killed and wounded lay on all hands. I was attached to a squadron of dragoons. I felt perfectly cool, and in truth minded it no more than eating break fast. (!) About 20 minutes after the commencement of the action, poor Alkjor Ringgold was struck by a six-pound shot, and mortally wounded :he has since died. I had lent him my pistols on going into the fight. The shot struck one holster. 'cut :it and the pistol in Iwo pieces, cut all the flesh off the upper part of the Major's thigh, passed through the shoulders of his horse. cut the other pistol in tiro, and the flesh off the other thigh. (1!) He fell from his horse and Lieutenant Sherer offered to assist him ; but he said, ' No, Sir ; let me stay —go on—you have enough to do—go ahead.' The action lasted about two hours, and the enemy retired." There is only one addi• tion, which could have been made to the narration of this wonderful bullet's exploits. The writer ought to have said, that ultimately, either the gallant major or himself, caught, and held it with their teeth. TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM.—An awful thunder storm visited Cumberland and Westmorland on Thurs day afternoon, lasting with unabated violence fur hours. The thunder claps were appalling, and the rain fell in water-spouts; the electric fluid, of the forked description, darting in igneous streams of various colours at the rate of eight or ten flashes tier minute. The loss of life and damage has been frightful and considerable. On the moor near Shap Beek-gate. in Westmoreland, the wife and daughter of Benjamin Grinnsdale, a labourer, were gather ing tufts of wool from the f e n ces on Khipe Scar, when the daughter, a fine young woman, was struck by the electric fluid and killed on the spot by the side of her mother, who most fortunately escaped destruction, but was slightly injured. A man named Hinde, of Hardendale, West moreland, was also struck, and is so much ihjured that but slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. The family Mr. Thomas Dawson, yeoman, of the village of Stainton, near Penrith, had a most miraculous escape from instant destruction. It appears that a thunder bolt entered the kitchen, and drew the iron crooks out of the ceiling, on which dried hams were hanging ; it then pro ceeded in the direction of the clock, the case of which it shivered into a hundred pieces, and did other damage, but the window being open, it escaped ther out, none of the itima , es, most fortunately, being injured, they at the time being in another apartment of the house. In a field near Penrith, eleven sheep and one lamb, the property of Mr. William Robinson, were killed by the lightning while lying under a tree, which was shivered to splinters. Large trees on the estate of Lord Brougham, at Broug ham-hall, were struck arid shivered, and so were other trees at various places. There is little or no doubt that , the accounts of numerous other fatal and serious calami- I ties have yet to come to hand. June 23. 1816. LATEST INTELLIGENCE (BY EXPRESS.) LONDON CORN EXCH 4N3E.-YESTERDAY The supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, although rather larger than last week, met a tolerably free sale, at Is. per. qr. advance upon the rates of this day se'nnight. In free foreign there was very little doing, but bonded was more in quired after than of late, particularly by parties from the coun try, without, however, leading to much business. Barley is held with increased firmness. We raise our quota tions for Beans and Peas each 2s per qr. Bonded are held stilt higher, but the demand is not extensive at the advance. Fine Oats are fully Is. per quarter dearer, but the out of condition and light foreign qualities do not participate in this improve ment. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET YE , TERDAY, Since this day se'nnight, the imports of foreign stock into the port of London have consisted of 330 oxen and cows, 700 sheep, 200 lambs, and 10 calves from Rotterdam; 30 oxen from Hamburg, and 108 sheep from Flushing. To-day we had on offer about 230 foreign beasts, 500 do. of sheep, 100 do. of lambs, and 5 do. of calves, for the whole of which, though the quality wes tolerably good, the demand was in a very sluggish state, and in some instances the quotations had a downward tendency, without effecting a clearance. Fresh up this morning, the arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing districts were seasonably good, but considerably less than those received on this day se'nnight. Per Blbs to sink the offal :—Coarse and inferior Beasts 2s 4d to 2s 6d, secondary quality ditto 2s 8d to 3s Od , prime large oxen 3s 2d to 3s 6d, prime Scots, &c. 3s 8d to 3s 10d, coarse and inferior Sheep 3s 2d to 3s 6d, secondary quality ditto 3s fid to 3s Bd, prime coarse-woolled Sheep 3s 10d to 4s, prime South Downs 4s 2d to 4s 4d, large coarse Calves 3s 4d to 4s, prime small do. 4s 2(1 to 4s kid, large Hogs 3s 8d to 4s fid, neat small Porkers 4s 8d to 4s 10d, Lambs 5s to 6s, sucking Calves 18s to 295, and quarter-old store Pigs 16s to 19s each. Beasts 2704, Sheep and Lambs 33,820, Calves 208, Pigs 280. Mr. Co ode haR been dPprived of his office of assistant secretary to the Poor Law Commissioners. • Prince Albert has subscribed £lOO towards the fund which is now being raised for the purpose of purchasing the model of the Bottle of Waterloo frotn Capt. Siborne, the gallant constructor of the work. NORTH CII ESIIIRE.—E. D. Davenport. Esq., of Capes thorn, has off;red himself a candidate. Mr. Davenport's father represented Cheshire for nearly a quarter of a cen tury. The London Guardian Society for the protection of trade held its anniversary on Saturday. Mr. J. Reay. of this town, was present, and stated the success of the pro vincial societies in detecting swindlers and conferring ad vantages to persons in trade. FIRE.—The extensive horse and foot barracks now erecting on the Harfield road, Bristol, were nearly con- , sumed by fire on Saturday nieht. The loss to the con tractor will, it is said, be nearly £4OOO, besides which the poor workmen have all lost their tools. FIYDRIPATEIY.—Dr. Elk, proprietor of a hydropathic establishment at Petersham, was indicted at the Central Criminal Court fnr manslaughter in having caused the death of Mr. Dresser, a patient at his establishment. The jury found the defendant Dot guilty, and he was immedi ately discharged. KILKENNY ELECTION.—CoIoneI Bryan, of Jenkins town. is generally spoken of as a can lidate for the seat va cant by the death of Colonel Butler. The gallant colonel, however, is only a Whig and a Roman Catholic, and will not do for the popular party at Conciliation Hall. The Liberator and the Head Pacificator might be satisfied with him, but not so the Nation and its contributors. THE SELF-ACCUSED MURDERER AND ROBBER.—Just before the adjournment of the Central Criminal I:ourt, on Saturday. William Elenry Norman, who pleaded guilty last Thurdav, and who put in a paper challenging the Common Serjeant to play at chess and other games, was again brought to the bar, when hia manner appeared to be very inenherent. He was told that the sentence of seven years' banishment had been rescinded, and a year's hard labour substituted. The prisoner laughed and left the court. EXECUTION OF THREE MEN.—On Friday, Patrick Hayes, aged 21 years, and Patrick Rice, aged 22, were executed at Nenagh, for conspiring, to murder the late Patrick Clarke, Esq. After their bodies were cut down, William Fogarty, aged 25, underwent the same dread ph nislrnent, for shunting at, with intent to kill, Mr. M`Donald, a steward in the slate quarries in that part of the county Tipperary. The crowd in front of the gaol was considerable, but far below the multitudes which have hitherto flocked into Nenagh on similar c ccasions. DEATH OF GEORGE LANGTRY, ESQ —lt is our pain ful duty to record thedeath of this venerable gentleman— one of the oldest and most respec•able inhabitants of this town. The melancholy event hanrened early yester day morning, at his residence, Fort-William, near Belfast. Mr. Langtry was, for many years, well and honourably known, not only to his fellow-townsmen, but to the whole mercantile community of Ulster, as one of the leading merchants of Belfast. He was the first to establish steam communication between this town and other ports ; and, throughout a long and exemplary life, of upwards of eighty years, his active habits and upright character were alike serviceable to the public and creditable to himself. The interment will, we understand, take place to_morrow morning, at Newtownbreda.—Belfast News Letter of Friday. [The above highly-respected gentleman was father of Air. George Langtrv, the agent in this town for the Belfast steam-packets. The funeral was most nume rously attended, upwards of eighty carriages following the remains.] ATROCIOUS MURDER.—A correspondent of the Dublin Packet, in a letter dated, " Ballinakill, County Galway, June 19." details the particulars of a savage murder COM. milted there. He says, "the victim, named Pateck Hill, a young man of about 33 years of age, of Drinname, within about quarter of a mile of the town of Woodford, was a most harmless, inoffensive person. He held but a few acres of ground, and was not of that class of people to incur the ice of midnight legislators, either by looking for land, demanding a WO price for provisions, &c. I visited the scene of the tragedy, in company with the serjeant of police, and I do not exaggerate when I say there are four teen wounds, made by a boyonet, or some such instru ment, through some of which his bowels are protruding. The poor wife of deceased states that two men came to the house, about twelve o'clock, asked for admittance, and for something to eat. When he opened the door they told him they wanted to speak to him outside ; he accompanied them, and a few perches fr, m the door, in a little boreen, or by-road, they accomplished the tragedy." THE INFANT SA PPE-W.—This interesting little song stress gave a concert on Tuesday evening at the Concert.. hall, and was r,:ceived with such enthusiasm. by a crowded and respectable company, as to induce her parent to pro mise she should visit Liverpool again in about a fortnight. Mr. H. V. Lewis sang two songs in excellent style, and Mr. Vinniog sang " Wanted a Governess," amidst rap turous applause. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE MONDAY. JOKE 22.—Wind South .111nderee.
