We have made every exertion to present our readers this day with afull and accurate report of the interesting and important proceedings of yesterday, as well as those of Wednesday evening ; and we flatter ourselves that our efforts have been signally successful. In our SUPPLEMENT will be found a corrected report of the speeches delivered at the great meeting of the Young Men's Established Church Society, held in the Amphi theatre, on Wednesday evening. Our ordinary pub lication contains a full and minute history of the rise and progress of the Liverpool Collegiat Onstitution, a detailed narrative of the public proceision to the site of the proposed building ; a verbatim report of the admirable and impressive discourse of our venerated Diocesan, delivered in St. Peter's Church ; and a copious report of the speeches at the great dinner to Lord Stanley, given last evening in the Amphitheatre. While we have given the requisite degree of prominence to these important proceedings, we have not neglected other matters of local interest which demanded our at tention. We trust that we have thus shown that we are anxious to render the STANDARD the most faithful record of all public proceedings in which this great community is interested. We refer with satisfaction to our columns this day for a demonstrative proof of this desire to gratify the curiosity and to consult the taste of our readers. A ►TAMPED SUPPLEMENT is given with the STANDARD of this day. Ebt Eitnrpool -tanbarb. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23, 1840. Stupidly and perversely blind must be those amongst our countrymen who do not recognise the hand of Popery prompting and guiding every political move ment of the present day. What is it, we ask, which during the last two sessions of Parliament has main tained in office the most incapable, dishonest, and profligate ministry which ever controlled the destinies of a great nation ? The power of the Roman Catholic Church! And what has been the ultimate, if not the direct object of every great measure for which that ministry has striven ?To advance—to strengthen—to perpetuate in Great Britain the power of that church ! In the court of our sovereign—in the senate and in the council—the intrusive foot of Popery has been boldly planted. In our municipal corporations she has suc ceeded in usurping the control of the funds hitherto devoted to the education of our youth in Protestant principles. She fills our police, our public offices, and our schools with her minions. She absorbs the great portion of our public charities, and is winding her in sidious coil around the time-hallowed fabric of that church, for the preservation of which, in its purity, our fathers shed their blood in the field and at the stake. She surrounds with her priesthood the dying beds of our ancient gentry, and, day by day, some noble property falls into their grasp, to be devoted to the purpose of raising up anew that blighting super stition which has been, throughout the ages of its ex istence, a curse and a plague to mankind. For years Popery has been silently but unceasingly labouring for the promotion of her ambitious designs, and the power which she possesses has defeated and defied opposition. The sway which her priesthood maintain over the ignorant and enslaved constituencies of Ireland has enabled her to dictate terms to her op ponents within the walls of the British House of Commons—to prescribe limits to our once boasted Protestant ascendancy ; and she now seeks to extend that sway over a portion of the constituencies of Eng land. It is well known that for the last twenty years a constant stream of immigration has been pouring from the wilds and bogs of Ireland into the manufacturing districts of Great Britain. In Liverpool, Manchester, and the whole of the populous manufacturing towns around—upon most of which the reform bill conferred for the first time the privilege of returning members to the House of Commons—the Irish Roman Catholic inhabitants have long constituted the bulk of the lower classes of the populaion. From these men, unorgan ized as they have hitherto been—removed but one de gree from pauperism, and, from their improvident habits, unable to acquire a sufficient qualification to entitle them to vote for members of Parliament, or at municipal elections—the utmost exertions of the whig party were never able to glean more than a very feeble and precarious support. But the aspiring spirit and the persevering energy of Popery can achieve a victory over obstacles, from which the feeble and contemptible efforts of whig radi calism would recoil in despair. A. class of men, which to the latter presented only the spectacle of individuals swayed by no steady impulses, and capable o f no poli tical organization, is susceptible of being moulded by the plastic fingers of Popery into an engine sufficiently powerful to operate upon the representation of Great Britain, to an extent which a mere whig would never even have dreamt of. For the purposes of Popery it was sufficient that the Roman Catholics of our large towns were servants of " the Church;" it was suffi cient for her that the materials were there in abun dance. She wanted only men, and she doubted not her power to make them docile, humble, and ready agents to the work which she had in contemplation. Our Liverpool readers have witnessed the energy and perseverance with which her priesthood have la boured to achieve that work—the creation of an over riding majority of Roman Catholic voters upon our municipal and boroug h registers. But they are not to suppose that the attempt has been confined to our own town. In Manchester , Preston, Bolto n , Stockport— wherever, in fact, large bodies of Papists are herded together—wherever the influence of the mass-house and the confessional extends--the same struggle has taken plaCe, ',tended by varied degrees of success. The attack has not been a mere desultory effort to achieve go= petty triumph ;---the object has been one of greater.purport and more sweeping effect, It has been the giant struggle of the " mother of abomina tions" to disturb the waters, and to go forth and depo sit her filthy spawn throughout the length and breadth of this once loyal and Protestant land. The effort, however, we trust, has been made in vain—in Liverpool at least we know that it has. The spirit-stirring demonstration of Protestant zeal and activity, recorded in our pages to-day, are guarantees that in the good old town there is still sufficient strength to bruise the head of the serpent, and to trample into the earth the slimy form which has been reared, in malignant hostility, against the venerable institutions of our forefathers. The loyal men of Liverpool have rallied nobly to the trumpet call of the lion-hearted de fenders of their Protestant faith; they have planted yesterday a standard around which their sons and their sons' sons may gather through all future time. They have opened a fountain from which to pour forth throughout the land the pure clear waters of scriptural education and truth ; and in their name, and in their behalf, we call upon our loyal end Protestant fellow countrymen to support their efforts and to imitate their example. Let it be borne in mind that we live not now in ordi nary times; we have not now to fight in an ordinary cause. We have not now to struggle for mere party objects; we are not attacked with mere party Weapons. We have combined against us the united forces of Popery, of Socinianism, and of infidelity, and we hold in our keeping the purity and the entireness of our Protestant constitution and our Protestant church. A breach—a wide and irreparable breach—has been made in the bulwarks of that constitution ; and its enemies—a legion—are howling for the onset. In that breach we have taken up our position ; and woe be unto us if we fail in beating back the advancing forces of the enemy ! The dark waters of Popery are surging at our feet, sapping the foundations of our citadel, and threatening to overwhelm and crush us in its fall; but Ire have taken our stand upon the rock of Protestant Truth, and, by the blessing of God, WE WILL STAND FAST! MEETING OF THE DOCK COMMITTEE. Yesterday the weekly meeting of the Dock Committe, was held at the committee-room, Revenue Buildings. The following gentlemen were present :—Messrs. Leathom, Homby, T. Holt, Holmes, Chapman, Mellor, Evans, Bar clay, Tobin, Booth, Moon, G. Holt, Middleton, and Mar tin. The minutes of the proceedings of the former meeting been read, Several accounts were read and passed. Mr. HARTLEY then read a report of a sub-committee on the subject of dock work, which contained a recommenda tion that reverse gates be placed between the Coburg dock and the Union dock. The CHAIRMAN said that the object of the proposed gates was to reserve a sufficient quantity of water in the dock for the accommodation of the large steamers. The recom mendation was unanimously acceded to. A desultory discussion arose respecting the erection of additional shears on the dock quays. The recommendation of the sub-committee on this subject was also adopted. A memorial was then introduced by the CHAIRMAN, re commending that the parade of Prince's dock should be covered with Bitumen. This memorial was signed by up wards of 230 gentlemen. Mr. HARTLEY, in answer to a question, said that the parade had hitherto been repaired by the Dock Committee. A letter from the Seyssel Asphalte Company was also read, offering to execute the work for about £BOO. This application was referred to the sub-committee. An application was made by the Steam Tug Company for a piece of land to keep their life-boat. Mr. CHAPMAN said that the other side of the river was the proper place for the life-boat. Mr. TOBIN said that the boat ought to be on the same side of the river with the crew. A model of the safety beacon erected on the Goodwin Sands, by Captain Bullock, which stood on the table, was then submitted to the inspection of the committee. A letter was read from Captain Bullock, in which he offered every assistance in his power in the construction of similar beacons, should the Liverpool Dock Trust require any such. Mr. CHAPMAN said he had no doubt that such beacons would be highly useful on the sand banks at the entrance to the port, especially on the Hoyle Bank, and in other situa tions. The letter was referred to the marine surveyor. Mr. H. Holmes and Mr. Thos. Holt were appointed to audit the accounts of the Watch Committee. The Solicitor to the Dock Trust then read a copy of a notice for an application to be made during the next session of parliament for an act to alter, enlarge, and modify the construction of several of the docks, and for power to erect warehouses on the west quay of the Prince's dock, and on the north-west quay of the Salthouse dock ; also for power to take charge of goods in vessels discharging in the Prince's dock ; also for power to make tram-roads along the several dock quays; also for the purchase of such.lands as may be necessary to carry the provisions of such act into effect ; also to empower the trustees to raise additional sums 'of money for the purpose of carrying out the plans contem plated by the act. The notice included several other par ticulars of a subordinate character ; but the above hre the main features of the intended application. The meeting separated at one o'clock. MUNI CIPAL -CORPORATIONS' ACT. The following letter has been addressed by the Town- Clerk to the solicitors, and will be read with interest, as it touches upon several points which have lately given rise to considerable discussion : " Town-ball, 22nd Oct. 1840. " DEAR SIR,—I transmit to you the points upon the municipal corporations' act, upon which I stated my opinion at the meeting of the solicitors concerned in the approaching municipal election. " 1. Under the municipal corporations' acts the quali fication is not lost by any removal, whether to another qualification or not, so long as the burgess roll continues in force upon which the burgess is enrolled by virtue of an occupation for the required period up to the last day of August preceding the burgess roll. The burgess roll of 1839, under the amendment act, continues in force for the election of November, 1840, and until a new bur gess roll shall have been duly made. " 2. A burgess rated in respect of distinct premises in two or more wards and upon the roll for both, stands only well enrolled for that ONE of which he shall make his selection. Voting in one of the wards at an election, whether annual or occasional, is such selection, and con cludes the party so long as the burgess roll continues in force. As before stated, the roll of 1839 now continues for the next election, and until a new burgess roll shall have been duly made. "3. A case has been stated : Suppose a number of Voting papers should be delivered to the returning officers when the hour of four in the afternoon, at which the poll is to close, is immediately at hand ; all of which they eould not possibly dispose of before four, and many of which, proceeding with all expedition, they actually do not dispose of by four : and suppose the remaining papers to be considered and admitted or rejected after the booth is closed.' This course is not legal : it neither gives the returning officers or the burgesses the power to see that the papers are delivered by persons appearing to be the proper burgesses, nor does it give ANY two burgesses the power to require the questions to be put. The strict duty of the returning officers is to discharge themselves of one voting paper before they receive another ;—each voting paper ought to have the attention of the THREE officers ;—no voting paper ought to be tendered or re ceived until the one before it is disposed of; and no voting paper out of this course ought to be taken to be well received until the officers are at liberty to consider it ; and, of course, none can be well received after four. " It was satisfactory to me to find that my opinion on these points met with the full concurrence of the soli citors present. _ " I am, dear sir, yours very truly, " R. RADCLIFFE. " Solicitors present :—Mr. Penington, Mr. Snowball, and Mr. Bretherton." INQUESTS. On Wednesday an adjourned inquest was taken on view of the body of John Lyon, a man of 25 years of age, who lived in Forbes'-court, Cavendish-street. On Sunday the deceased got out of bed about twelve o'clock, and began to throw up blood. His wife immediately sent for a surgeon ; but he continued to throw up blood, and died shortly after, without being able to speak, and before the surgeon arrived. It appeared, on a post mortem examination, that the cause of death was the rupture of one of the blood vessels of the lungs, producing what is called pulmonary consumption. A verdict was returned to the effect that the deceased died a natural death. Same day an adjourned inquest was held on view of the body of John Morris, a man 60 years of age. On Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock, two men, acquaintances of the deceased, met the deceased in Ford-street, and stopped to talk to him. They had not been conversing more than ten minutes when the deceased turned round, and immedi ately fell down. They picked him up directly, and placed him against the wall. He seemed to recover a little, but in a minute or two died. The body was taken home. Mr. Ar nott, surgeon, was immediately called, and found the deceas ed quite dead. He made a post mortem examination, and found the valves of the left side of the heart thickened and otherwise diseased, which was the cause of death. Verdict —" Death from natural causes." Same day, an inquisition was held on view of the body of Samuel Dodd, driver of a brewer's dray. The deceased was a well-disposed u tan , o f a b ou t 27 years o f age . On Tuesday afternoon, about two o'clock, he and another man were driving a dray in Cunliffe-street, the deceased having hold of the shaft horse by the head, while his companion had hold si o st f ov t n h ee e r sy, nt chain o arr prevent anntdrlh e ' aatr is tst‘a the er s o cm o o p r i lg T oe s ri i n t e C go of against o ah s iin t c o si n it - are two rt h , oll • a h sr i e c gs l e. i Whilst they were driving up the court, and just as they had got to the corner, the wheel on the ri g ht or off side of the ca rt went against the stone, which caused the dray to give a sudden jerk, and the near shaft struck the deceased ou his right side, and he fell down. The man who had hold of the chain horse instantly stopped the' horses. The near wheel of the dray came close to the deceased's side, but did not go picked as unable up t get and was quite insen sible.upo waslle v directly, and tak en to a public house close by, when Mr. Horrocks, sur geon ‘ sur geon, was sent for. Some brandy and water was administered to hi m , and warm applications were made to his breast and feet, but he died in about half an hour after the accident. The deceased and the other man were both sober at the time. Mr. Horrocks stated that he had examined the deceased, and that he died from the effects of the injuries he had received. Verdict— " Accidental &atlas" ELNCTION OF COANCRLLOR FOR TIIR UNIvRIISITT OP CAM gaincE.--At a congregation held on Wednesday morning, his Grace Hugh, Duke of Northumberland, was elected Chancellor of this University, vacant by the decease of the most noble John Jeffreys, Marquis Camden. REPORTED ASSASSINATION OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH. — The Paris papers received in London yesterday make no mention of the second attack, on the life of Louis Philippe, as reported in the Globe of Tuesday evening, and there is therefore every reason to belibve that the report was entirely void of any foundation. ZOOLOGICAL SPECIMENS IMPORTED BY THE " ORIEN TAL."—The royal mail steam-ship Oriental brought hither from Alexandria two very fine asses, and two beautiful ga zelles. The asses are from the small island of Goa, near Malta, at which latter place they were shipped. They are the property of 'Watson, Esq., a gentleman who has since arrived in this country via Marseilles, and he purposes to take them to New South Wales, to which he is about to pro ceed. They are probably of the African breed, and justify the remark made by Shaw, the celebrated zoologist, that the ass in its natural state is very far superior, both in point of beauty and vivacity, to that reared in these more northern climates ; that it stands higher on its legs, which are more slender in proportion ; and that even the domestic ass of Africa partakes in a great degree of the elegance of their ori ginal or stock. The two animals in question stand each fourteen hands high, are seven feet in length, and are hand somely formed. Their breadth of chest is remarkable, being equal to that of a strong horse of the same size, and indicative of great strength. The upper part of the neck, particularly of one of them, is uncommonly thick and muscular. Their heads are comparatively small, and they have a slightly ruffled but not long or shaggy coat. They are at once do cile and lively, fond of being noticed and patted. One of them is very playful, but a few days ago became offended at one of the officers on board, who was plaguing him, and bit him slightly in the hand. We are informed that these ani mals are worth from £2OO to £220 each in tne United States ; and their value will doubtless be considerably enhanced in New South Wales, by the cost of their conveyance, and the attendance they will necessarily require. The two gazelles are beautiful and interesting creatures. They were brought from Alexandria, and are both males, as indicated by their each having horns. They are of the genus Gazella Africana, a little smaller than the fallow deer, but more elegant in ap pearance. It is, of course, a species, of antelope. The horns are not unlike those of a goat, but more finely marked. They arc of a cream colour on the back, the sides, and the outsides of the limbs ; and white under the body and inside of the legs. The nose. is black, and the nostrils distended. They have a large, black, liquid, and affectionate-looking eye, be speaking a docility and timidity which are characteristic of the animal, and which has been adverted to by the poets of all countries in their apostrophes to beauty. Their legs are peculiarly long and slender, but sinewy,—conveying an idea of great fleetness. They are remarkably gentle, and will doubtless become pets. They were sent on Monday by rail way to the gentleman to whom they were addressed, Kingston, Esq., engineer, Woolwich Dock-yard. IMPORTANT TO THE MUNICIPAL VOTERS OF THE Bo- BOUGH OF LIVERPOOL.—Under this head the Albion re marks—" It is not generally known, however, that any bur gess whose name appears on that list and who has changed his residence since November 1839, cannot vote at the next election ; and that any burgess who, having a qualification in more than one ward, and chose his ward and voted in it last year, must vote in the same ward this year." In answer to these unfounded assertions, we have only to refer to the fol lowing clause of the municipal reform act :—" And be it enacted, that no inquiry shall be permitted at any election as to the right of any person to vote as burgess in any borough, except only as follows—(that is to say) that the mayor and other presiding officer shall, if required by any two burgesses entitled to vote in the same borough, put to any voter at the time of his delivering in his voting paper, and not afterwards, the following questions, or any of them, AND NO OTHER.- 1. Are you the person whose name is signed as A B to the votinc , paper now delivered in by you ?-2. Are you the per son whose name appears on the burgess roll now in force for this borough, being registered therein as rated for property described to be situated in ?.(here specify the street, &c., as described in the burgess roll.) 3. Have you already voted at the present election ?" - - - Notwithstanding the general returns of the revenue for the quarter just ended are so unfavourable, we are happy to state the customs receipts at this port increased upwards of £14,000 on the corresponding quarter of 1839. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire has been visiting this town, and on Friday last inspected the splendid new long room at the Custom-house, with which he expressed himself highly pleased. His grace has visited all the curiosities in the neighbourhood, and we understand was much pleased with the beautiful collection of birds at Knowsley. His grace came from Chatsworth to Liverpool by way of Bir mingham, and made a morning call upon the Queen Dowager at Sudbury. His grace left Liverpool on Wednesday to visit his extensive estates in Ireland. CONSERVATIVE DINNER.—We understand the following noblemen and gentlemen will take very prominent parts at the Newton dinner to-day, Lord Sandon, chairman :—Cress well Cresswell, Esq., Lord Wilton, Lord Francis Egerton, Hon. R. B. Wilbraham, Sir John Gerard .Buller, Mr. Col quhoun, Colonel Tempest, Major Tempest, Mr: George Cornwall Legh, Captain Clarke, Mr. Clarke, and Drt. Molesworth, of Rochdale, &c. &c., and the dinner will be well attended from the county. We really hope that Liver pool will send forth, on this occasion, the young blood of England, to uphold the constitutional principles of our country. It will be seen by the advertisement, that tickets may be purchased until twelve o'clock to-day, and that a special train, which will return at 10 o'clock to-night, will leave the railway station at three o'clock. LECTURES ON THE JEWS.—The first of a series of lec tures on the past, present, and future history of the Jews, was delivered on Tuesday last, by the Rev. J. H. Stewart. The rev. gentleman took for the foundation of his discourse the 19th verse of the Ist chapter of the 2d Epistle of St. Peter, and, after glancing at the leading circumstances con nected with the Jews, and the great outlines of the purpose of the Deity respecting them, he set forth, with much Chris tian feeling and sound judgment, the importance of an accu rate knowledge of the prophetic Scriptures, and the spirit in which their study should be conducted. The subject an nounced for the next lecture, which will be delivered by Dr. Tattershall, is " The rules to be observed in the interpreta tion of the prophetic Scriptures." The congregation on Tues day evening was extremely numerous. CALIGRAPHY.—A well-known learned sergeant was said to have the facility of writing three hands—one the learned sergeant himself could mak out, but which his clerk could not ; another which his clerk could decipher, but which the learned sergeant could not ; and a third which neither clerk nor sergeant could in the least comprehend. If the learned gentleman bad only placed himself under the tuition of Mr. Thompson, of this town, he might have written as fair " a Roman" as her Majesty herself, who is a beautiful penwo man ; indeed her Majesty has set quite an example to those around her, who now consider that to write a bad hand is to be essentially out of the fashion. If a good hand is there fore requisite for those who have their livelihood to seek, how much more necessary is it for those who wish to get on in the world to become good writers, as one of the first ques tions put to an applicant for employment is, " What sort of a hand do you write ?" Many a deserving young man has lost a good situation from his bad caligraphy. We recom mend, therefore, all who are desirous to excel to apply to Mr. Thompson. DEAN AND EVANS'S PATENT PORTABLE HAND MILL. —We have just seen this admirable and compact invention for grinding and dressing at one operation wheat, barley, oats, pepper, &c., and also for crushing beans, peas, and other substances, and for which a patent was taken out only a few days ago. The machine is ingenious, and so little com plicated that it is not liable to go out of repair. It is turned by a crank handle, to the extremity of the spindle of which a fly wheel is attaehed. Motion is given by two bevel wheels to an upright shaft, pissing through a hopper, and turning two horizontal grinding plates made pf steel, and similar to millstones. In grinding wheat for instance, the ground sub stance passes into a horizontal dressing cylinder of wire gauze. Within this is a rapidly-turning spiral brush, that presses the pulverized and coarser substances round the sides of the cylinder, which is perforated at certain distances with three rows of holes of various sizes—the first admitting of thepassage of fine flour only, the next of seconds, and the third of pollard. These are received into their respective drawers below ; and the bran falls through.an opening at one end, and is also received into a drawer. The same machine may be applied, by simple adjustment, from the coarsest splitting or bruising to the finest pulverization of grain, coffee, rice, or other dry seeds. It will grind a peck of wheat in an hour. Its conveniently portable construction renders it pe culiarly adapted for exportation, as it affords a ready means of grinding various articles of domestic and necessary con sumption, in localities where large mills are not to be found, or areitoo far distant to be available. The space occupied by the mill when at work is only three feet square, and a youth of fourteen years of age may work it with ease. It will be seen by the advertisement that Mr. plissett, gun and pistol maker, South Castle-street, is sole agent in this town for the patentees. FANCY DRESS BALL.—A fancy dress ball was held at the Templars' Hall, on Monday last, which was brilliantly crowded, We understund it was the first of a series to be given at the same place during the coming winter. In the course of the evening Messrsr Breckell, Watson, and Wil liams, and their partners, danced tha old English morris dance in a handsome style, and was much applauded by the company. It would be invidious to specify particular stars, where all was brilliancy and beauty, in the galaxy of Fair Turks, Persians, Gypsies, Village Maidens, Bonnie Scotch Lassies, Noble Queens, Princesses, Amazons, beauteous Swiss Peasants, Buy-a-brooms, Morris Dancers, and per sonations of some of Shakespere's fairest dames. Some of the gentlemen's dresses were remarkably rich and charac teristic. Amongst others, Mr. Cobb attracted much atten tion by the appropriate richness of a court suit of the last century. Mr, C. Roberts, as a handsome Hamlet, was ac companied by ,a lovely Ophelia (Miss Kelly). Mr. T. Gur nell, in the costume of ICharles the First's time; Mr. Gen nis, as a Spanish Courtier; together with Mr. Hammond, as Figaro, might be noticed as very well dressed. Mr. Wil son appeared as an Anglo-Saxon Thane of the ninth century ; and we also noticed a very superb Turkish dress, but did not ascertain the gentleman's name. . But it would be useless to attempt to specify all the remarkable dresses amongst such an assemblage of Highlanders, Turks, Swiss, Arabs, Knights Templars, Persians, Lawyers, Spaniards, Navy and Military Officers, Smugglers, Poles, and Cavaliers of every nation and every clime. COCHRANE'S WRITING INKS.—WC beg to recommend to our readers. the ink manufactured by I\lr. Cochrane, of this town— having had twenty years experience as a manufacturer of this great necessary article, he is well qualified to present to the public an ink of a superior description. H is inks we have tried, and found durable, and flowing readily ; they do not change colour with age— indeed, time gives them a darker complexion. The Panorma of New York continues to receive the admiration of every spectator ; we calculate one-half of our population will proceed thither, that wilt thin our streets tarnation quick. Messrs. James lleeley and Sona, the eminent steel pen manufac turer, at Birmingham, have produced a ppw file for invoices, letters, &C. It is not only suited to mercantile purpoces, but well adapted for private papers, letters, and memorandums, bg.‘ing made of a variety of sizes. Mr. Webb, stationer, Castle-street, is appointed agent. (See advertisement.) CHHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY.—Up to Wednesday last, (the 29th day of its being open,) upwards of ten thousand passengers were conveyed upon this line without the occurrence of one single accident. In a very short time, when the rails &c. are completed, and this road becomes better known to the public, a greater increase in traffic must follow ; thp journey from Chester to Liverpool, has been made within the hour. SALE OF PicTuaxs•—On Tuesday last, some very fine pictures were sold by Mr, Hodgson at his gallery —am g t others we LandscapeiToilet, by mi :{lieges, 2 11 Figures, guineas.by observed a fine Astade subject, •' Cottage with o o n ld s Woman ßo and tiY' y ° y r , r ' s c . k 2 e 7 d g d u o i e n a s a . t s La o d y g at i n her e a s T .

A singular and ad mirably arraanged picture, called, " The Three Doorway's" by P. de Nooye, was withdrawn at 100 gullies. Small Landscape and Figures, by Loather brary, 26 guineas. FINE ARTS.—Mr. Peel it will by seen has announced his de parture with his beautiful pictures. He has still a few worthy of attention. We beg to draw the attention of the connoisseur most particularly to a sea-piece by Baelchnysen, ou which may be written nil ultra. It is one of the most animated pictures we ever saw—in its style it is a perfect work of art. We have noticed in this collection a Swiss picture, by E. Serani. We are surprised that the portrait of Canova, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, has not changed hands. Thera were only four portraits painted of this eminent man. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire. we believe, is in pos session of a very fine likeness. Mr. Peel has an extraordinary pic ture by Fite—of Dead Game. The connoisseur can easily recognize this artist's works by his singular style. We draw attention to the collection, which for quality, has seldom been equalled. It is singular that the concerts a la Musard, which were all the rage in Paris when the idea was first suggested, should have .completely failed lately, and most of the i prinein a r per. formers, it cluding Musard himself, should have been induced to visit London fox the same description of entertainment.

The revision of the parliamentary burgess lists was resumed this morning, at ten o'clock. The cases were principally of a nature similar to those called on Monday, and were dis posed of under the rules then laid down. The cases were generally destitute of interest, most of those on which any discussion arose being on objections to members of the Pro tector Society, who, in the majority of instances, were struck off. These decisions rested on the grounds that the parties had borrowed money from the society for the express pur pose of paying their rates ; that they had drawn out more money than they had paid in ; or that, holding ten pound tenements, and having paid their rates, their water rents were paid by their landlords. The cases were generally dis• posed of very speedily, the rules being taken to be fixed for the time being, and the nature of the Protector Society proved. A Mr. Cosgrove, who was objected to by the conservatives, on being cross-examined by Mr. Carson, stated, that he had paid his rates with money which he had borrowed from his brother-in-law. He had since repaid his brother-in-law, with money which be obtained from the Protectof Society, of which he was a member, and to which he had contributed some time. Mr. Maynard was proceeding to examine the witness, with a view to ascertain if lie had put in as much money as he had drawn out, when Mr. Wharton interrupted the learned gentleman, saying that the only question was, the intent with which the money was borrowed from the brother-in-law. This question Mr. Wharton put to Mr. Cosgrove, who replied that he borrowed the money expressly to pay his rates. Mr. Wharton.—Then the case comes within the rule, and must be struck off. Mr. Maynard said that this waa opening a very wide door indeed, It was, in effect, saying that no man could have a good vote who borrowed money from a friend ; because, if this rule was carried to its extent, hernight have paid his rates without that money. Such borrtiwed money was, to all intents and purposes, a man's own money, for he was liable for it in law, and this decision went to the extent of saying, that a man who borrowed money for the express purpose of paying his rate, though he paid such money again, was never theless to be struck off the list. Mr. Maynard said he stood upon the decision of Lord Denman, which had been so often alluded to, and to act otherwise than by the rule laid down, would open a wide door for corruption, for it would enable every wealthy indi vidual to put upon the register, by a sort of side-wind, as many persons as he pleased. The vote was struck off. Mr. Kearsley, of Wigan, was objected to by the reformers. Mr. Kearsley said h rented premises 'for which he paid £l4O. per annum. He did not reside in Wigan, but in Li verpool. He had resided in Liverpool, and occupied the premises in question upwards of six months before the 31st of July last, and continued to reside in Liverpool to this day. The due payment of the rates having been proved, Mr. Kearsley's vote was allowed. Anthony Finlay, Brick-street, was objected to by the con servatives. It was proved that Mr. Finlay was rated and had paid his rates. Mr. Wharton.—What rent do you pay ? Witness.—Ten pounds eight shillings a year. Mr. Wharton.—Do you ever pay your water rent yourself, or does your landlord pay it ? Witness.—My landlord pays it. Mr. Wharton.—That won't do then.—Struck off. James Gillespie, Mason -street, was objected to by the con servatives. The rating and payment were proved by Mr. Hart. Mr. Carson.—Where did you get your money to pay your rates with ? Witness.—l borrowed it from a friend. Mr. Wharton.—Did you borrow it to pay your rates with? Witness.—Yes. Mr. Wharton.—lt won't do.—Struck off. Thomas Hunter, Moorfields, objected to by the reformers. Mr. Hunter proved his occupation, and the payment of his rates. Mr. Maynard.—Pray, Mr. Hunter, are you a native of England ? Mr. Hunter.—No, sir. Mr. Maynard.—Have you ever been naturalised ? Mr. Hunter.—Naturalised ! How do you mean, sir ? Mr. Wharton.—Has anything taken place to naturalise you ? Mr. Hunter.—To naturalise me ! In which way, sir ? Mr. Maynard.—Has any act of parliament been passed to make you a denizen of this country ? Mr. Hunter.—No, sir. Mr. Maynard.—Pray what country do you belong to, sir ? Mr. Hunter.—l was born in a British colony, sir. I was born in Santa Cruz. Mr. Maynard.—Santa Cruz is not a British colony. M.r. Hunter.—lt was then, and my father was an English man. Mr. Wharton.—Oh, your father was an Englishman ! Vote allowed. Henry Lindon, Shawhill-st., objected to by the conserva tives, was called. Mrs. Lindon appeared on behalf of her husband. It appeared that his rates had been duly paid. Mrs. Lindon, on being questioned, said, her husband was a member of the Protector Society. The rates amounted to £1 10s, which sum she obtained at the office of the Protector Society. Her husband bad contributed to that society, but she did not know how long. He had paid by half-crowns, but she could not say how much he.had paid.—The name was struck oil'. John Fitzpatrick, King-street, objected to by the conser- vatives, statedthat he was a member of the Protector Society. He had paid £4 3s 6d for taxes all at once. Mr. Carson.—Did you get this money from the Protector Society ? Witness.—l got it from them that manages it, I suppose. Mr. Carson.—Did you get the whole of it from them ? Witness.—l got part of it, any how ! Mr. Carson.—How much did you get ? Witness.—l got £4 3s. Gd.! Mr. Maynard.—Did you contribute to tbe.sociely ? Witness.—Yes. Mr. Maynard.—How much have you contributed ? Witness.—l can't say. Mr. Maynard,—Dave you paid as much in as you have drawn out ? Witness.—No,—Struck off. Bartholomew Kearney, Spitalfields, was objected to by the Conservatives. It appeared that Mr. Kearney was a member of the Protector Society, and had drawn from that institution £1 Os., with which he had paid his rates. On being questioned by Mr. Carson, he stated, that he had paid as much in as he had drawn out. Mr. Wharton asked him how much he contributed per week. He replied, fourpence. Mr. Wharton.—How long have you contributed ? Witness.—Twelve months. Mr. Wharton.—You see, now, sir, you have told a wilful falsehood before all your townsmen, and on your solemn oath. You stated that you had paid as much money in as you had taken out. Witness—Well, I thought I had : I paid a long time. Mr. Wharton—(in continuation)—and you have disgraced yourself before all your townsmen, and I hope they will take warning and not follow your example. Go away, sir. Your vote is struck out. The court adjourned at six o'clock. WEDNESDAY. The cases that came before the court on Wednesday dif fered in no respect from those of the preceding days. The principle with respect to the pay men t o f ra te s by th e Pro tector Society was rigidly adhered to, and the consequence was, that scores of protectors we re s t ruc k off the list. The number of objections amounted in the aggregate to about four thousand, but the list was subsequently reduced to about three thousand by agreement on both sides. YESTERDAY. The whole of the remaining lists of the overseers of the parish of Liverpool were announced to be taken on yester day in the Civil Court. The cases were much of the same character as those which have been already reported. REVISION OF FREEMEN'S LISTS.—The out-townships and the freemen's lists were gone through and finally settled. BRITISH AND NORTH AMERICAN ROYAL MAIL, The fine steam-ship Britannia, under command of Captain Judkins, left the Mersey on Tuesday afternoon, about half past four o'clock. The Britannia, takes out about seventy passengers for Halifax and Boston, a list of whose names we subjoin.

Mrs. John Kemble, widow of the great tragedian of that name, is staying at Leamington Spa, in the enjoyment of good health and spirits, considering her advanced age. ECLIPSES.—In the year 11341 there will happen six eclipses, viz., four of the sun and two of the moon, out of which num ber one only of the latter will be visible at Greenwich. A gentleman of fortune, in Berkshire, who kept three ser vant maids, was married to one of them on Friday last, and on Saturday his two sons followed his example by marrying the other two. We have had much pleasure in learning that her Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct that Mr. Dibdin, the author of some well-known dramatic pieces and many naval songs, Shall receive £lOO out of the Royal Bounty Fund.— Observer. A Worcester gentleman put up his horse and gig at Bir mingham for four hours, during the time of the festival in that town, for which he was charged 2s. for corn and 10s. 6d. for stable room, making in all 12s. 6d. !—Worcester Chro nicle. " Alas ! how light a cause will move dissension between, hearts that love," says the poet, and so should Lord Ebring ton say, for when his " health" was proposed in Kilkenny ou Wednesday week, the band actually struck up " The Rogue's March." It is currently reported, and we have little doubt, that the Earl of Thanet will succeed to the lord lieutenancy of the county of Kent and of Canterbury ; an appointment that will give the greatest satisfaction to the supporters of the present government. The names of Earls Cowper and Rad nor have also baen mentioned,—Kent Herald. We regret to learn that Sir Francis Burdett is confined to his room at Embercourt, Thames Ditton (where he has been residing for some time past), by a fall from his horse. He is, we believe, much bruised, but the injury he has sustained is not of a dangerous character, although sufficiently severe to render the application of 24 leeches indispensable.—Morn ing Herald. Mr. Edward Thew of this town, butcher, recently found in the stomach of a heifer three black balls, beautifully bright and smooth. One of them was sawed in two, and it was found to consist of hair. Their surface was so remarkably polished, that it was difficult to imagine, without ocular de monstration, that they could have been formed of such ma terial. This is not a very uncommon circumstance, similar balls having been taken out of the slaughtered cattle.—New castle Journal. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o'Clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—THIS DAY. Since our report of Tuesday, the receipts of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal coastwise have been trivial, and those from Ireland only moderate. Of Wheat and Flour, from the United States, however, we have a good supply fresh in, and several further parcels of the latter from Canada, while from Europe the imports have fallen off materially, and will pro bably continue light until the duty recedes. The duties for the ensuing week have advanced on Whtat to 225. Bd., on. Oats to Os. 3d., on Beans to 2s. per quarter, on Flour to 13s. 71d. per barrel, and reduced on Barley to 7s. 10d. per quarter ; those on other foreign, and on colonial produce generally, remaining unvaried. During the period between Tuesday and to-day, we had very little business passing in any branch of the corn trade but having a good attendance of buyers this morning, and most descriptions of wheat being held with increased firm ness to-day, sales to a moderately fair extent were effected at the full rates last noted, and in partial instances a slight im provement was realized. Flour, on the contrary, was in very slow request, and rish as well as foreign barely supported late prices. In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, we have no change to Oats, upon a more lively sale than for some weeks past, were the turn dearer; and. Oatmeal was taken off freely at our last quotations.

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 8- Sous.) Since Tuesday last the imports from Ireland, Coastways and from foreign ports, increased by arrivals within the last three days, have been pretty considerable ; the Wheat and Flour from foreign ports of. course go into bond ; and throughout the past week here, and at Manchester on Saturday, we have experienced a very languid de mand for Wheat and Oats, Flour and Oatmeal, at a decline of 2d to 3d per respective bushel on the two former, and of Is to Is 6d per respective sack or barrel on the two latter articles. Malt, grinding Barley, Beans and Indian Corn, were also a little lower. The weather has been since the commencement of this month very favourable for the completion of the northern harvest. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has again increased since last Friday to 21s 8d per qr. and on Plour to 13s oid per barrel, also Is 6d per qr. more on Oats and ltye, and Is more on Beans; on other grain no alteration ;—some trivial sales of Flour in bond have been made at 26s to 27s per barrel, for immediate export. The demand at this day's market was better than on Friday, and sales of every article in the trade were effected to a moderate ex tent, and a small improvement on the decline above mentioned.
