THE hare announcement that the successors of the DERBY Administration had been culled from every section of the patchwork combination which formed the Opposition, excited public curiosity as to the pecu liar mosaic policy upon which they could, by any pos sibility, unite to construct a Government. Specula tion was altogether at fault, for there was no unique phase of political profundity which did not find its representative,—from the professed Conservatism of Mr. GLADSTONE to the ultra-Rrdicalism of Sir WM. NIOLESWORTH and the members of the Ro mish Brigade. In such a medley of principles, from which no solution of the difficulty could be obtained from any recognised mode of reasoning, the only re source was the declarations of the several members, and here confusion becomes worse confounded. It was of course to be expected that former principles must be surrendered, and many concessions made ; but, after all these allowances,. the public will be no wiser than when the investigation was commenced. To begin at the beginning. The Earl of ABERDEEN, as prime mover in the affair, declared, with solemn pomposity, in his place in Parliament, that he should not have sought the co operation of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, had he not be lieved him to be Conservative, and that he him self, being also Liberal, the measures proposed would be Conservative as well as Liberal. So much for the Premier's avowal, which might have had the effect of disarming opposition to the return of most of the members of his Administration. But what say the members themselves as to their consent to carry out this Liberal-Conservative and Conserva tive-Liberal policy ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL de clared on the hustings at London that his colleagues 11, 18 3. OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION THE election which is now pending before the University of Oxford has very naturally excited a considerable degree of public attention, from the peculiar circumstances of the contest. There has been for many years past a kind of tacit under- standing that the representatives of the University, having been once elected, shall not be disturbed in their seats, without some special reason for making the change. This was the case when the late Sir ROBERT PEEL was ejected for the part which he took in admitting Romanists to Parliament by the Emancipation Act of 1829; and it was this feeling which induced many members of Convocation to vote for Mr.GL ADSTO NE at the last election,because they believed he had been opposed without cause. Circumstances have, however, since occurred, to change the opinions of many on this matter, and the present contest may be viewed as being an ex pression, not of preference for Mr. PERCEVAL, but of opposition to Mr. GLADSTONI in the Cabinet concurred with him in the abrogation of the Christian oath, and the admission of Jews to the Legislature. He had not yet made up his mind to the Ballot, but should devise some means of re forming the present mode of election. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who has been everything by turns and nothing long,—who was Radical in his younger days, Reformer with Earl GREY, Conservative with Sir ROBERT PEEL, subsequently Free-trader, and is now back to Radicalism again, —told his consti tuents at Carlisle— " I scorn to deceive you. lam favourable to the ex tension of the suffrage, and I am favourable to the pro tection of the voter by ev.N-y means consistent with that open, manly conduct which is the characteristic of Eng lishmen, and there is nothing that I will not do, in con cert with my colleagues, to give effect to that opinion ; but I am not prepared to vote for universal suffrage and the ballot." But he added— " Sir William Molesworth—who, in passing, let me say, is my colleague in the Cabinet—differs from me in respect to the ballot ; he has always supported the ballot, and with the consent of his colleagues, and of Lord Aber deen at the head of the Government, it is open to him, and he has stipulated to vote for the ballot." So that in this new Ministry, a colleague of Lord ABERDEEN, not a mere Under Secretary, but a The Mi- nisterial organs, in their ill-concealed mortification, have enlarged upon the paucity of numbers voting when compared with previous elections ; but while this may be partly attributed to the shortness of the notice, owing to the difficulty of obtaining an eligi ble opponent, it may also be owing to the luke- warmness of those who were previously counted upon as Mr. GLADSTONE'S supporters. Unwilling to give him a direct opposition, they have no wish for his return, and therefore refrain from voting—a position by no means flattering to the candidate who enjoys the patronage of the' organs of every phase of political turpitude. The protests which have been made against the re-election of Mr. GLADSTONE, by the Venerable the ARCHDEACON Of TAUNTON and the Rev. HUGH STOWELL of Manchester, will show in some degree the spirit which animates the Opposition. By the latter Mr. GLADSTONE is objected to for his extreme views on Ecclesiastical polity, which would unprotestantise the Church by carrying out the ultra objects of Tractarianism, or, failing in that, promote a sepa ration from the State, which would prove injurious, if not destructive, to both. The former, on the other band, opposes Mr. GLADSTONE, because of the unnatural coalition which he has made with every variety of political destructires. He is according to the good old rule, by the company which he keeps, and therefore very properly con demned. In any view of the case, the elevation of judged, such a man to power is inimical to the best inte rests of religion, for whether he carries out his own views, or bends to those of his colleagues, be can hold nothing in common with true Churchmen, but prove a treacherous friend or an As by the peculiar law attaching to University elec tions it may not conclude until to-morrow (Wednes day) afternoon, we shall not speculate upon the re sult ; but at least we may give credit to those men who have laboured so indefatigably to remove the stain from the University of being so misrepre sented. It is a significant fact that among the votes against Mr. GLADSTONE are those of his brother, Sir THOMAS GLADSTONE, and Dr, GLADSTONI nsidious foe THE NATIONAL REVENUE. THE statement of the National Revenue, which was pub:ished on Thursday last, is one of the most member of the Cabinet, has permission to vote for gratifying which has appeared for a long time the Ballot, one of the most revolutionary schemes' past, showing, as will be seen by reference to ever devised by Chartist agitators. At Leith, how- f the table in another column, that there is an in ever, the new Lord Advocate, Mr. MONCRIEFF, crease on the year of £978,926, and on the quarte r of no less than £702,776, as compared with the cor- " You may depend upon it, that as I only care for responding quarter of the preceding year. politics in so far as they advance the principles I nave statement has of course been eagerly seized upon all along entertained, I never would have connected I myself with 14;rd Aberdeen's Government if I did not by the advocates of the policy now in the ascendant, feel that it is to all intents and purposes, and in every as one of the most convincing proofs of the wis possible respect, a Liberal, and NOTHING BUT A LIBERAL I GOVERNMENT." dom and justice of their views. We are not, how- So much for the Liberal Conservative policy of the ever, prepared to coincide with these opinions, nor new Administration. The Premier declares it to be to adopt these conclusions. If Free-trade were a union of both, and the Lord Advocate declares it really as beneficial as its promoters would wish us to be nothing but Liberal, or he never would have to believe, they have yet to show why we have had joined it. Almost all the Peelites have declared the to wait till 1852 for a practical proof of its benefit, policy of the Government to be essentially Conser- i although it was adopted in 1846, and much suffer vative, while with equal consistency the Radicals i ing has been undergone :since that period. But have claimed for it a character totally opposite. there are other circumstances which offer a far The Whigs on the other hand have mostly held more intelligible solution of the cause of that pros aloof, refraining from expressing extreme views, perity, for which each class of politicians, while but, in the true spirit of Whiggery, holding out they are congratulating the country upon the re vague promises of some undefined and undefinable suit, are claiming to themselves the credit. That Reform in the representation, which shall make much of the favourable state of affairs is owing to everybody contented, and actually realise the long- the confidence which was placed in the high cha indulged dream of purity of election. Is it possible racter of a Conservative Government, is shown by out of this chaos of professions, this medley of the simple fact that no improvement was evident antagonistic assertions, to predict any ono tangible until after the Earl of DERBY had shown in the measure upon which the Ministry can be agreed ? last Session of Parliament that he was prepared to The arena of discussion will be transferred from carry on the Government of the country.

From which party, out of this strange mixture, can the Church expect her tr ue interests to be maintained ? It will be, perhaps, a mere rivalry between Romanism and Dissent, in which we may see more sacrifices made in order to preserve a harmony between antagonistic forces. In commenting upon this jumble of guardians of religious instruction, the Morning Herald of Satur day says : " Of course the governing principle of 1851—that a general agreement was essential to joint and harmonious action—is abandoned. The experiment of packing dog, cat, and monkey, parrot, and hen and chickens, all in one hamper, is declared to be a rational one. In the next Cabinet we may hope to see Mr. Cobden, Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Duffy, Colonel Sibthorp, Baron Rothschild, Mr. Christopher, and Mr. Carter, of Tavistock, all jumbled together. Indeed, we can see no very solid reason why another old prejudice should not be given up, and Miss Martineau be appointed to the Home Depart ment, while Mrs. Chisholm undertakes to manage the colonies." We have treated in another article of the prospects of, our national faith when entrusted to such guidance, with the additional danger of three members of the Romish Brigade being members Of the administration. In no one point is there the slightest hope of advantage to the country from the coalition, excepting only the confident expectation of its speedily falling to pieces. The DUKE of WELLINGTON, says the Times, has ac cepted the office of Master of the Horse to Her Majesty under the new Administration. proper light, and honesty enough to avow it. Emi gration has relieved our Shipowners for the present from the consequences of the competition to which they were exposed, and created a market for our manufactures; but all this has no possible connec• tion with a political theory which, whether for good or for evil, has yet to be tested when the time of trouble comes. It will be observed that on the quarter's account there is an increase on every item with the exception of Customs and Excise, upon which the decrease is very small, while upon the year's account the Excise shows an increase of more than a quarter of a million. THE LATE DUKE.—We understand that the will of the late Duke of Wellington is to be proved under £BOO,OOO. It has been decided that the funeral car is to he placed in the Repository of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, and the pall in Chelsea Hospital.

To THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD PRESTON AND WATSON, BRENNAN AND OTHERS v OF LIVERPOOL, Sr R,—The Defendants having, under the signature of " Fair Play," (a name which, perhaps, they guessed wou ld h ave b een a perfect diszuise) pub lished and circulated two letters, in the latter of which they charged the Plaintiffs with " palpable falsehoods," and the High Court of Chancery with having given a decision decidedly contrary to th e ev i dence, and with out' rea , ing the affidavits, it is right to state, shortly and con secutively, the facts of the case. The Plaintiffs and Defendants are co-owners'Of the Screw Steamer " Phcebe,"—the Plaintiffs of 5 2-64thland the Defen dants of 12-64th shares. _ An agreement, dated 20th February, 1851 1 , was entered into between the owners, appointing Preston and Watson Brokers, Agents, and Ship's Husbands of said §hip, irrevocably subject only to the following proviso:7 '' It is further agreed that sh43Uld three-fourths of the owners find that Preston and Watson, as Ship's Husbands or Agents, have committed any gro4 act of negligence, or fraud, in their capacities as Ship's,H . usbands or Ag en t s , sa id three fourths of the owneis, in point of value, shall, provided their decided and positive disapprobation is expressed, in writing, from caprice to the said parties, amVprovided they show the committal of discontinuing any such ignorant orifraudulent act, as aforesaid, prejudicial them, which expired in o t o r the io te owners, res t, they a n t d b t o s v i i t d a I T 1 tmhveey the a e n p o o twacti ng their services, as Agents, &c." Preston and Wa.son, accordingly, acted in this capacity, and accounts to the owners, in which they credited the ship with a certain definite OR cCharter 18 f 5 ( 2 )r . a l: Y h e e a y r furnished as e ec effected h}' i i ' half-yearlyweekly sum. In October last, at the expiration of the Charter, the other owners, the Plaintiffs in this case, acc id entally disco vered that a sum of money, after the rate of X 4 per week, over and above the amount so credited in the half -yearly accounts furnished, had been charged to, and received from, the Char terers, by Preston and Watson. The , Plaintiffs, under advice, at once Prepared, signed, and caused to be delivered, the following notice:— "We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, being owners of three fourths of the shares of the Screw-steamer Phoebe,' of Liverpool, having ascertained that Pr es t on and Watson, acting as Ship's Husbands, have, in a contract entered into with Burns and Maclver, received and exchanged one wee kly sum of at 4 sterling to the said Burns and Maclver, which they have not credited to the said owners, do hereby express our decided and positive disapprobation, in writing, of such con duct, and in pursuance of the p ower vested in us, by the agreement of the 20th February, 1551, we d o fi n d and declare such act a fraudulent one, and in direct contravention of said agreement, arid we do hereby, in further exercise of said power, discontinue the services of the said Preston and Watson, f rom henceforth, as Agents, or Ship's Husbands, or in any other cap city," Bsc. &c., This notice offers to buy their shares, and appoints Captain Brennan to act until further arrangements. Immediately on the receipt of this notice, dismissing them, Preston and Watson possessed themselves of some of the Machinery of the vessel which had been sent! to an Engineer's Yard for repairs, and refused to restore them; whereupon this suit was instituted for the purposes of restraining Preston and Watson from further interfering as Ship's Husbands or Agents; of compelling them to restore the Machinery; and generally to open and surcharge their accounts, with the .e 4 a week. And, on the 4th December instant, the Court granted an In junction to restrain Preton and Watson from further acting as Ship's Husbands, Agents, or Brokers, of the ship "Phoebe," without hearing Plaintiffs' Counsel in reply, and in giving judgment, made the following remarks:— . The Defendants could not possiby be justified in concealing or keeping back the weekly £4, or applying that money specifically for the purpose of remuneration, without the Plaintiffs' consent. The Defen dants' conduct was, in this respect, not open, not direct, not straightforward, not warrantable in any men intrusted as Agents with the interests of others; and, that it was therefore such as to justify Om Plaintiffs in objecting to the continuance of the Defendants in the character or employment of Ship's Husbands, Agents, or Brokers; and in requiring them to cease from acting in any suoh capacities, we a re , f or every present purpose, satisfied." The Court hesitated to interfere, on this day, with what was conceived to be the peculiar province of the Court of Admiralty, by granting the further Injunction to restore the Machinery. They, however, did express their opinion on its detention in the following words :—" The Defendants' course of conduct in this respect appears to us, at present, to have been inexcusable ;" judgment of the Court concluded in these words :—" If you find any difficulty in the Court of Admiralty, perhaps we shall have the pleasure of seeing you here again upon this." Proceedings were forthwith instituted in the Court of Ad miralty; some doubts arose asto itsjurisdiction over Machinery, and it was also ascertained that by its forms it could not grant relief until a comparatively distant day. The case was again brought under the notice of the Court of Chancery, anti on the 13th instant an Injunction was granted, ordering the restoration of the Machinery within four days. The Court, in delivering judgment, said—" Independently of that, there is before us, on the affidavit that has been produced this day on the part of the Defendants, and is to be filed, an ad ditional proof, if additional proof were wanting, of breach of duty, and abandonment of trust, namely, —not merely with- drawing the Machinery from the place where it had been deposited for the purpose of repairs, but withdrawing it before these repairs were completed, for the single purpose of obtain ing an improper possession, to the unjust prejudice, and undue advantage of the partners of these Defendants. Their conduct appears to us, as far as the evidence before us goes, to be without apology anti without excuse and it would be indeed to be lamented, if there was no jurisdiction in this country capable of remedying such Flagrant Injustice." It is true these judgments and orders appointing Captain Brennan Manager, and dismissing the Messrs. Preston and Watson from their position as Ship's Husbands, Agents or Brokers, and compelling them to restore the Machinery, are merely interlocutory. The Plaintiffs, however, feel no appre hensions, and having thus, from authentic accounts, given the short history of the case to the present, will not enter into any discussion with Messrs. FAIR PLAY, Preston and Watson, hut fearlessly abide the issue, expressing their re gre t at being forced by the cha r g es o f falsehood, so unsparingly made by the Defendants, to trespass so far on your columns.-1 am, Sir, your obedient Servant, ARTHUR SMITH, Solicitor for the Owners.

THE banquet which was given on Tuesday at the Adelphi Hotel, in this town, to Mr. INGERSOLL, the United States Minister, by the American Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, afforded an opportunity for one of those graceful interchanges of good feeling which cannot fail to have a benefi cial effect. The guests on this interesting occasion included the Earl of DERBY and the Earl of SEF TON, and the great Republic was ably represented by her new Minister to the Court of St. James's, who alluded with good taste to those circumstances which tended to promote the harmony existing be tween the two countries. In referring to the recent subject of difference respecting the Fisheries on our coasts in America, Mr. INGERSOLL remarked, that they had seen the dispute noticed in the House I have no fear of any dif ference Peers of Great Britain, and referred to in the the United States and this except the most agreeable and harmonious result. overy thatM Message of which the President, cannot e o s t i den possiblyt but l e all d w t i o t h anythingfeelin gs The Earl of DERBY, in subsequently alluding to laws, n erty— W country. ftehreensacem ea arising iu l s V bi njeegchtssri betweend, too many ties to bind us toge ther.many respects—we have We have the ties of common language—the common e have the ties of rapidly-extending and increasing commerce—we have also ties, I am sure, of personal and mutual the tes tiesf commono m good feeling to bind us together; and my firm be lief is that, if questions arise on which differences of opinion may exist, friendly communication will not only remove those difficulties, but will also tend to make the fact of those differences having arisen extend into a system of reciprocal advantage and the great extension of cor larnercial int teen the two countries Langua ge of ti held by men in the important at the speakers on this occasion, will do far m ore to preserve the an subsist bet able relations which ought to ween England and America, than the ammatory speeches in which members of Con- gress are apt to indulge will tend to interrupt. They, however, do but assert that liberty which is their proudest boast; and, though threaten- ings appear sometimes more prominent than conci liation, we may anticipa e that, a n the c us, when left to the good sense and judgment of ad m n of those who are entrusted with the public affairs, any differences whic be discussed with the same goo r. may arise will d feeling and mu- tual forbearance. Each country is too largely inte rested in the prosperity of the other not to direct interest in maintaining peace; and w., therefore view without apprehension the angry d cussion which is now going on in the Congress at Washington respecting the alleged interference of England for the preservation of the island of Cuba to the kingdom of Spain. THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.-DANGERS FROM ROME. IN the list of the new Administration will be found the names of three members of the Romish Brigade, viz., Mr. JOHN SADLEIR, Mr. MONSELL, and Mr. KEOGH. This is but another proof of the tendency of the party now in office towards Rome and should quicken apprehension as to the course which will be pursued during the next session. It is possible that, notwithstanding the prepon derance of public opinion in favour of the principles of the Reformation, the public are not sur4 alive to the importance of preventing those small but gradual advances by which Rome has main tained her ascendancy in Ireland, and extended her influence in this country. We can all well remember the furor of indignation which agitated the kingdom when the Romish Bull was published, which was to separate England into dioceses, under a hierarchy of Romish Bishops. But we can also remember the apathy which ensued when the inefficient mea sure of Lord JOHN RUSSELL was accepted as a redress for the aggression which, had it been per petrated in the reign of Queen ELIZABETH instead of that of Queen VICTORIA, would have been met by sending every Romish Priest out of the I ingdom, without waiting for an appeal to Parliament to pass an impracticable law. Since the Emancipation Act of 1829 opened the doors of the legislature to men whom, experience has proved, no form of oath can bind, every step that has been taken has been to wards Rome, under every possible pretext, supported by the treachery of the Whigs, the indifference of the Radicals, the tendency of the Romanising party, and the energetic determination of the Romish B The notorious Lichfield-house compact sur rendered the Government patronage in Ireland to the enemies of the Crown, for the sake of securing a parliamentary majority. The Charitable Bequests Act directly recognised the titles of Romish pre lates, though contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, and as much a violation of it as the notorious Romish aggression in England. When Earl GREY was Colonial Secretary, he signed in structions to the Governor of New South Wales to receive Romish prelates with the same honours as those of our own Church. When HER MAJESTY visited Ireland, under the auspices of her Whig Ministers, she received them on equal terms : and thus in every possible way the Church of Rome, though teaching a "damnable heresy," according to the express words of the Constitution, and its members known to be acting in traitorous combi- nation against the Sovereign—owning no other allegiance than to a Foreign Pontiff—has been supported and directly encouraged by the very party who now form a prominent portion of the new Ad ministration. It is deserving of serious considera tion, even by those who profess what are called Liberal opinions, whether they ought to continue their support to men whose whole leaning has been on the side of Rome. The desire for religious liberty has been amply carried out in the toleration afforded to all denominations of Protestant Dis- senters, but it becomes a grievous wrong when it is made the pretext for promoting that huge exerts cence upon Christianity whose faith is superstitious bigotry, and whose practice is intolerance and cru elty. Rome wants but the physical power she once possessed, to revive the fires of Smithfield, and re enact the horrors of the Inquisition. She has changed neither in spirit nor intention, as witness the imprisonment of the MADIAI in Florence; she only lacks the means, and these she is gradually and insiduously acquiring. through the treachery of our rulers, who either cannot, or will not, see the importance of each small step in advance. Concili ation has been tried in vain, and it now only re mains, if we would preserve the blessings which our forefathers won at the Reformation, to interpose an effectual resistance. In endowing the College of Maynooth, we have nurtured a nest of vipers to sting our own bosoms, and the first step should be to demand a repeal of the endowment. In admit ting Romanists to Parliament, we have added to their importance as political agitators, and have seen them elevated into the position of advisers of the Crown : this requires also to be amended. But no step in the right direction can be taken so long as we are content to be governed by a coalition which comprises the most dangerous elements of every section antagonistic to religion and loyalty.
