DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PIL LE((as their name Renal. or:the Kidneys, indicates) have been long established as a most safe and efficacious remedy for the above dangerous complaints, Discharges of any kind, and 'Diseases of the Kid neys, Vic., which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dis like of -Society, Incapacity for Study or 3usiness, Loss of Memory, Contusion, Giddiness, Blood•tuthe Head, Drowsi ness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even In sanity itself. they are unequalled. Possessing tonic proper ties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the general health. They require neither confinement nor change of diet, and, as experience has amply proved, they will effect azure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have failed. One Trial will convince the most sceptical of their surprising properties. Mr. Letellier, Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills have done wonders with me and others to whom !lave recom mended them:" H. C., Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most splendid medicine." J. Murphy, 7Q, Upper Sterin-street, Dublin.—" I never met the like of them before, they are really a surprising medicine." T. Webster, Esq.,Seal ford, Melton Mowbray.—" Your valu able Renal Pills have done good to every one I gave them to." Mr. Thos. Williams, at Mr. Hutchings, baker, King-street, Chelsea.—" I was persuaded to try your most beautiful Pills, and am happy to inform you I have received more benefit from them than from any of the medical men in London:" W. Chartres, Esq., Newport, Mayo.—" I have a degree of mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can ecollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of clearness. It is astonishing bow I got out of such awful suf, ferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use of your Pills." PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and OTHERS, cannot store more important articles of health than the above. which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels , and tranquil lizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living.

TIIE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. peace and prosperity of Lancashire in 1838. That feeling of mutual good will which ought to temper the asperity of such differences seems not to pre vail at all ; education has done little to tame the fierce passions which actuate the one side, and the reluctance with which every attempt to mitigate the duration of toil has been conceded by the other, leave little reason to anticipate any other terms of settlement than those dictated by self interest. The men seem determined to obtain all they can wrest from their employers by intimida tion, and the latter appear determined to resist to the verge of safety, so that no alternative remains, if peace is to be preserved, but a resort to those principles of arbitration which the masters have so confidently recommended. THE present Mayor, SAMUEL HOLME, Esq., will to-morrow resign into the hands of his suc cessor the office which he has held during the year with such credit to himself and advantage to his fellow-townsmen. During his year of office Mr. HOLME has won golden opinions from all sorts of people, and we cannot forego the present oppor tunity of contributing to the chaplet of honours which he has so nobly earned and so well deserved. It is a feeling which we share in common with all Liverpool, from whom comes the unanimous verdict of approval, and no higher reward can any man expect than that which Mr. HOLME has so successfully achieved. All intelligent men possess some share of political bias, but the Mayor of Liverpool has not allowed his to transpire in any way : when he accepted office he banished all his prejudices, and assumed the happy medium of impartiality, which he has kept with unswerving constancy ever since. In the administration of his judicial duties he has been diligent and im partial, tempering justice with mercy, and giving dignity to the tribunal at which, he presided. In the exercise of the duties of hospitality, which are not the least important of those belonging to the chief magistrate, Mr. HOLME has shown a generous profuseness which knew no distinctions of party, and enabled his fellow-townsmen to partake largely of the festivities of the Town-hall. In the support of public charities and local institu tions, his services and his purse have been ever at the command of benevolence. When called upon to visit officially the metropolitan cities of Eng land and Ireland, the dignity of Liverpool lost nothing in his hands, but rather received new lustre. And when, at the closing meeting of the Town Council, the customary vote of thanks to him for his services was submitted for decision, it was not simply carried as a matter of course, but was the warm expression of unanimous approval, passed with acclamations, the solitary exception being a querulous complaint, in which no one sympathised, and which Mr. HOLME can well afford to pass over with the contempt which it deserved. Amongst all the differences of opinion which prevail in every community, there can be none as to the meed of approbation to which Mr. HOLME is so deservedly entitled, for the admirable manner in which he has filled the office of Mayor of Liverpool. Having thus performed a pleasing duty, we may congratulate our fellow-townsmen on the judicious choice of a successor which the Town Council will make to-morrow, in the election of Mr. JOHN BUCK LLOYD as Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year. He is favourably known as possessing a high degree of intelligence, and those qualities which raise man above his fellows. As chairman of the committee for the erection of St. George's Hall, he has taken a prominent part in the improvement of the town, and we are confident that his accession to the Mayoralty will be hailed by all classes with unmingled satisfaction; and we greet him with this early welcome, in full reliance that, when his year of office shall be brought 'to a close, we shall have the same pleasing duty which has been afforded us by his predecessor. IT will be remembered that the Ecclesiastical Titles Prevention Act was passed with the osten sible object of restraining the assumption of ecclesiastical titles conferred by a foreign power, more especially those by the Pope .of Rome. It would seem, however, that Whig-made laws are not intended to do more than gratify a transient feeling, and that - Protestant indignationhaving been soothed by thetbill laving received the sanction of Parliament, the law may 'be broken with impunity even by those Who .are sworn to uphold it. A short time since an application for a return of income was made to JOHN 'CANTWELL, who illegally assumes to be the Lord DiShop of Meath, and in excess of courtesy—for itis more than he is entitled to—he was styled " the Rev. Jour! CANtrw - ELL." Not content with this -small measure of grace, he appealed to Mr. 'W. P. URQUHART, M.P. for West meath, complaining that, as his assumed 'title was ignored, he had no right to pay a 'tax on the income which he derived from it. Such specious sophistry, worthy of a Jesuit, was - too transparent, it niight have been thought, to be listened to for an instant ; but the wily Romanist had an ulterior object, and it now appears that Whig truculency has .allowed him 'to gratify it. The appeal of Mr. CANTWELL was forwarded to the Irish Income-tax Com Missioners, and the following is an extract from the reply, which is signed " A. MARTIN," and dated "Income-tax-offiee, D'Olier estreet, Dublin, 25th October" : " The commissioners desire me to express their sincere regret that the officer employed in distributing income -tax forms in your .district should (from ignorance of the designations usually observed in such cases) have committed an apparent violation of courtesy towards a Roman Catholic Bishop. The special commissioners have written to the surveyor of the district on the subject, directing that a fresh form shall be sent to•the bishop, superscribed with his episcopal designation." The Emancipation Act of 18'29 opened the doors of office to men who had previously been excluded on the ground of their filth in Romanism. The fruits of it are now apparent in the duties ,of Government being entrusted to palpable traitors, who.opeuly lend the sation of•authority to gross breaches,sf positive laws. Is .allthe Protestantism in the House of Commons exhausted, or is it of no consequence whether Rome or our,own Church has the cure,of souls in Ireland? A ROYAL COMMISSION is now sitting to inves tigate the alleged monster grievances in the Cor poration of London, an institution believed by one party to be the perfection of human reason, and by another to be the head-quarters of corruption. If we are to judge of the nature of the inquiry by the manner in which it has been commenced, we can not augur much good to result from it. The first witness examined was a man who pushed himself forward, his only claim to attention being his se cretaryship of a Corporate Reform Association, and , the next witness was Mr. TRAVERS, a wholesale grocer, who has long been notorious for his ultra- Radicalism. The inquiry has not, however, been without interest, for a charge was made by the first witness against the Corporation which has roused the ire of the London daily papers. He stated that £l,OOO a year had been expended by the Corporation in bribing the daily papers for their advocacy of corruption, but, on inquiry, it turned out that the hall-keeper had instructions to pur chase 300 copies of that paper which gave the largest report of the proceedings at each Council meeting. Notwithstanding this explanation, the Times has eagerly seized the opportunity to make an indignant tirade against the venality of its con temporaries, 'repudiating having any share in the transaction, and leaving all the rest open to sus picion.

WHEN ' almost the whole population of the Con tinent of Europe was in . a ferment of ag it a ti on from 'the revolutionary spirit which France bad lighted into a blaze, England took great credit for its unshaken loyalty to the Throne, and vaunted its own people as an example to neighbouring nations. It is to be feared, however, that it was but a varia tion of constitutional temperament of which history affords many striking instances. The cool phleg matic disposition of the Anglo-Saxon race is not so easily roused into action as the fiery realness of our continental neighbours. ; 'but when roused, it is not easily Ailed nor brought into order by die same rough surgery. Society - has been in a -state of apparent repose, but there has been an under current of discontent which fortuitous circura stances have hitherto prevented from displaying itself more openly. Labour has felt the oppression of the money-power when the latter was - in - the ascendant ; but well-fed labour cares little for more than the present - moment, and so long, therefore, as demands were .acceded to, .and no immediate pressure was felt, all was apparent peace. Now, however, that labour begins to feellts importance In the social economy, to experience the loss of the .cheap bread so confidently promised, ,and to meet .with a refusal for its still increasing 'demands for more wages, the este is altered, and the long -smothered growl of .discontent begins to make itself heard. No matter how absurd the request, how fatal the consequences to those who have no resources on which to Tall back, the attempt at intimidation has been ,commenced in apparent earnestness, and the 'thousands of operatives who .are now out on strike mingle with their present alleged grievances-the recollection of their former sufferings, and view the conduct of the masters with feelings akin to hatred. Deaf to the experience which might have taught them :the certain ruin to themselves, they persist in their rash folly, and allow their passions to be inflamed and their ignorance to be deluded lay the cunning de signs of their Aelf-interested leaders. The dispute is ostensibly one for wages, but the men are suffering the baneful effects of indolence. 'They have con ceived the notion that they are more indispensable to the profits of capital thantheemployment of capital is to their subsistence, and as they find -themselves the heaviest losers hi the conflict, they rus h wildly into the gratification of the base passion o f re venge by such acts of violence as those of Wigan were a few days since the scene. This is, h owever, but the beginning of suffering; the first 'breach which, unless speedily closed, will rapidly w i den and then when misery and desolation stalk over the land, which was once the scene of peaceful industry, it will be found that though the masters have been heavy losers the misguided operatives will be the worst off, for they will have lost every thing. It is a struggle in which there can be no victory, for both sides must be defeated, and it i s a question of pressing importance whether those masters, who have been so presumptuous in their advocacy of the advantages of arbitration for th e settlement of international disputes, had not f ar better try the efficacy of their vaunted doctrines for the maintenance of peace within their own borders. There is, however, little time for delay ; every day is augmenting the mischief, and unless some arrangement be speedily entered into, men infuriated from privations on the one side, and unprotected property on the other, will revive once more the frightful scenes which threatened the 1 ,;t" ,''',.:" ir ? „0 ~,,, r<o. , "• ,) ,.. 4„ ~./ ....",,,, ' 21, -•• ' , ‘• ~..• .1,.•,:f . .....,- '- - -0 ' lz ' i ..., , •,4-A, l'''',,, ...;' "- -,,.:-._ - - , •••-• • ' :-. . . , .. ..., -- ...,:!' ' ' , -- - wholesale accusation, for which there seems to be not the slightest foundation, and have boldly re torted the charge. The .iforni;zg Chronicle states that it was never one of the favoured papers, whereas the Times has four times received the Corporation patronage. But this is not the whole of the return charge ; for, in a case before the Bankruptcy Court, respecting a certain Islington Cattle Market Company, the following paragraph appeared in the reports given by the Herald, the Chronicle, and the Daily News: " There is a claim of £5,730 on Messrs. Laurie and Attree, of which £1,500 will be credited and carried to incidental charges, whenever they render an account of the manner in which 160 ten pound shares have been distributed among the members of the press, for which purpose they were placed in their hands." The Times also gave a report of the case, but omitted all mention of the " 150 shares appro priated to the members of the press ; " and the pertinent question is put, whether the repudiator of Corporation patronage is equally free from having shared in a far worse transaction, of which it had so carefully omitted all mention. • Whatever decision the Commissioners may ar rive at, may afford but little interest to Liverpool ; but we may remind our readers that just twenty years since, being in November, 1833, a Commis sion sat in this town to investigate similar Radical made charges of corruption against the old Liver pool Corporation, and expectation was on tip-toe to hear an exposure of doings that were never intended to bear the light of inquiry. It turned out, however, that the accusers had relied upon their imagination for their facts, and the result was, that the Commissioners paid the highest com pliment to the Corporation which words could express, declaring that the interests of the public had been managed with far more care and fidelity than many men devoted to their private affairs. Municipal Reform followed ; but the characters which popular election has sometimes allowed to come into the Council, have caused many to draw compariSons between the old and new systems, by no means favourable to the latter. THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION of Industry and Art was closed on Monday last week, after having experienced a success which more than realised the most sanguine anticipations of its promoters. It has not only developed the native genius of long -neglected Ireland, and given a stimulus to its dormant energies, but has also, by bringing others acquainted with its capabilities, opened the way to new markets for its future produce. No longer confined to the primitive pursuits of rais ing beef, pork, and grain, Ireland may, in future, be looked to for the fruits of more refined inge nuity. These are advantages which she has a right to calculate upon as the results of the Great Exhibition, and for all these she will be indebted to the munificence and public spirit of one indi vidual, whose energy and enterprise has endowed him with wealth, which he has devoted to the welfare of his countrymen. It was but a fitting compliment to his disinterested generosity to entertain him at a public banquet to his honour, which was given on Wednesday last, in Dublin, and at which the nobles of the land showed by their presence the respect which was due to the genius of labour, so worthily personified in Mr. WILLIAM DARGIN. If the hope should be realised of Ireland rising like a phoenix from the ashes of bigotry and indolence, of agitation and strife, in which she had well nigh lost her nationality, and even her population, the name of WILLIAM DARGAN will be handed down to pos terity as the saviour of his country, eclipsing by its glories the tinsel popularity with which DANIEL O'CONNELL beguiled the Irish to their ruin. Liverpool has an interest in the question, for , every step in advance made by the sister country, will add still further to the trade of this port ; and the time may not be far distant, when Dublin and Liverpool will be united by still closer ties, and the intermediate Channel bridged over by additional steam-boats. THE return of the iron steam-ship Brazileira from her first successful trip to and from the Brazils affords an earnest of the increasing traffic between this great port and the productive conti nent of South America. Liverpool has here taken the lead in applying the powers of steam to the extension of her commerce with the distant ports of Brazil, and we may reasonably anticipate that the good effects will speedily be experienced in a considerable augmentation of trade, which has usually been the result of more rapid communica tion. This pioneer of the new Tme of steam-ships has well maintained the reputation of her builder, Mr. JOHN LAIRD, of Birkenhead, having per formed the distance each way in 26 days, and we may soon expect to have advices from South America with the same regularity with which we now receive them from the United States. Great credit is due to the enterprising company who have thus, as it were, opened .a new source for commercial traffic, and all who feel -any interest in the prosperity of Liverpool will join in wishing success to their exertions. TILE MAYOR AND MR. R. GLADSTONE. "'SWEET are the uses of adversity," said the poet of all time, and equity beneficial is excess even in Radicalism, when it serves to reconcile us with its milder manifestations. There are certain members of the Town Council who would serve their constituents more effectually by following their colleague to California than by talking against time at the Council Board ; but they will now ap pear as -angels of light and real gentlemen in com parison -with that solitary individual who inter rupted the harmony of proceedings at the last meeting of the Council. All were agreed as to the merits of Mr. SAMUEL HOLME in his perform ance of the duties of the Mayoralty---all were inclined to 'carry the vote of thanks to him by acclamation ; but the Radical 'Mr. R. GLADSTONE, by his extraordinary display, which being Without reason 'is beyond all argument, not only showed 'his own mental:and moral deficiency,---for which, perhaps, he is mere to be pitied than condemned, — but raised his Radical colleagues in public esti mation by the comparison. It will be observed that he has since attempted a correspondence with the MAyou,-; but the latter has more good sense than to allow himself to he dragged into a paper war with one so utterly! regardless of the ordinary amenities of society. THE IifTINICIPAL ELECTION. THE election for sixteen members of the Town Council, in the room of the same number who retire, by rotation, took place on Tuesday last, and we published the result in a second edition. The following were elected without opposi tion, and in only five wards was there any polling. Everton Mr. S. M. MELLOR, St. Paul's Mr. OLIVER HoLnsiv, Exchange Mr. CHARLES TURNER, Castle-street Mr. GEORGE HOLT, St. Peter's Mr. JAMES Hot-ME, Great George Mr. ALEXANDER SHAND, Rodney-street Mr. J. A. TOBIN, Lime-street Mr. JoHN BUCK LLOYD, St. Anne's ➢lr. JoHN NICHOLSON, South Toxteth Mr. SAMUEL HOLME, North Toxteth Mr. MATTHEW GREGSON. In Abercromby Ward the re-election of Mr. R. C. Gardner, confessedly one, of the best members of the Council, was opposed by a young gentleman, the nominee of Mr. Robertson Gladstone; but the latter never had a chance, for at the close of the poll Mr. Gardner was in a majority of 373 to 126. In Pitt-street Ward the re-election of Mr. W. P. Jeffreys was opposed by bringing forward Mr. John Smith. The Radicals might have made a worse selection, hut their case was hopeless,,the numbers at the close being—Jeffreys, 226; Smith. 131. In Sotland ard there was an opposition to the re-election of Mr. Waodruffe by Mr. James Jack, but be came forward too late, and at noon resigned!he contest. The only wards where the contest was really animated were the West Derby and Vauxhall. In the former the well known Radical, Mr. William Earle, was opposed by Mr. Francis A. Clint, a Conservative. " Doubtful long it stead," but the right triumphed, and Mr. Clint was returned by a majority of 251 to 241. In Vauxhall Ward an additional interest was lent to the struggle by the whole force of Romish vio7ence and intimida tion being brought to bear, and for a time their candidate, Mr. Daniel Powell, was in a majofity. But judicious precau tions were taken by the police, the respectable electors mus tered courage to perform their duty, and at the close of the poll Mr. Wiliam Nicholson, the Conservative candidate, was re-elected by a majority of 155 to IEB. The result of the whole was a ret urn of twelve Conservatives and four Radicals. VINDICATION OF SCOTTISH RIGHTS. FOR a short time past the readers of the Times, and some other London journals, have had their attention directed to a movement which has been recently undertaken north of the Tweed, the object of the movement being ostensibly to procure a recognition, and the practical admission, of rights alleged by an extensive, intelligent, and influential section of the Scottish people, to be covertly withheld, or insidiously withdrawn from that country and its public institutions. The movement first showed itself publicly in the form of a complaint that, in quartering the imperial arms, the Scottish contingent had been removed from the place of honour, in the standards intended for use exclu sively in Scotland ; it also embraced a remonstrance, of a similar nature, as to the treatment of the Scottish shield upon the recent coinage. The mere intimation of such grievances among a people sensitively alive to the value of their country's honour, was speedily responded to — other and more tangible grounds of complaint were quickly added to those first denounced, and within a brief period an association was formed, having for its object the vindication of the national rights, and for giving efficiency to a calm, though indignant, protest against a system of centralization, which has already absorbed many of the institutions of Scotland into the imperial administration, and threatens, at no distant day, to denude our northern brethren of every shred and symbol of nationality, and so to convert her into a mere province of the empire. So ardently has the subject been taken up by our usually cautious and phlegmatic brethren, that, in little more. than three months, the association has extended itself to every nook and corner of that ancient kingdom, em bracing, among its members, the hereditary nobility, the gentry, the commercial and the labouring classes, together with the, municipal representative bodies of every commu nity from Tweedside to Orkney. A movement which has, like this, spread with the speed of the fiery cross of olden times, and been responded to with such unanimity, cannot fail to prove deeply interesting in a public sense. At the commencement of the remonstrance, the Times, ever wil ling to be "strong upon the stronger side," brought to bear upon the demand the small artillery of its sneers, and the light infantry practice of its raillery. Finding these arms insufficient to route the well-considered array of Caledonian demands, the more ponderous, if not more potent missiles of denunciation and misrepresentation were essayed, but with no better success. The associa tion grew in numbers and waxed in strength, and its first public meeting was held in Edinburgh, on Wednesday last, presided over by the Right Hon. the Earl of Eglinton and Wintoun. A meeting more influential in its cha racter, more numerous in its interests, or more varied in its political views, was never assembled on any occasion in Scotland ; while its unanimity on all the topics brought under consideration, was such as to confer on its resolu tions an importance undeniably national in character. The indication of so gpo'ntaueous and unanimous a feel ing, necesarily justifies a dispassionate inquiry into the complaints which could thus 'suddenly and so completely amalgamate conflicting bodies, and unite in harmonious action individuals of opposite opinions. The grievances of which they complain, are, neglect of Scottish national business in the imperial legislature, occasioned first by the want of any officer of state, whose special duty it shall be to understand and attend to Scottish public busi ness ;—second, by an inadequacy of Scottish parliamentary representatives. They next complain that the hereditary revenues of the Scottish crown lands are diverted to impe rial uses, and are chiefly expended in undertakings of which London derives the sole and exclusive benefit, while public improvements in Scotland are neglected by the imperial legislature. Further, that while she contri butes, to a large amount, to the imperial revenue, the important objects of education and police—the safety of maritime enterprise and the national defences of Scotland receive not the slightest pecuniary aid or attention ; while all those branches of the public services are lavishly subsidised in England and Ireland out of the general taxation. Such is a very brief outline of their complaints. The remedy they demand is, to be put upon a footing of perfect equality with their English and Irish brethren : they seek no more, and they emphatically declare they will not be content with less. What Englishman would seek to refuse so equitable a demand ? The next ques tion comes to be, are their representations true ? and are the suggested remedies practicable and just ? As to the neglect of Scottish national interests, in the imperial legislature, the probability of that will be readily apparent when it is known that the only Government official connected with Scotland, or Scottish public affairs, is the Lord Advocate, the chief law-officer of the crown in that kingdom, who is, ex-officio, prosecutor in every case of felony in Scotland—who has the whole law busi ness of the crown in that kingdom to attend to, and who is, in addition, a practising barrister, with his own private business to look after, a multiplicityof occupations scarcely rivalled in complexity by those of the renowned " Caleb Quotem." To obviate dependence on an officer whose time is so clearly inadequate to an efficient discharge of his duties, the association demands the restoration of a 'Secretary of State for Scotland—no novelty in itself, but sanctioned and provided for by the articles of union. The case was thus stated, at the meeting referred to, by the Lord Provost of the city of Edinburgh :—" It is very well known to every one who knows anything of the history of this country, that the office of Secretary of State (for Scotland) continued from the period of the Union down to about the year 1740, when it was discontinued. It was not discontinued by legislative enactment. It slipped into abeyance ; no one could tell how ; and, that being the case, no legislative enactment is required to bring it again into being." The association likewise demands an addi tion to the number of Scottish representatives in Parlia ment. Here, again, the case was clearly put by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh. He said, taking the case of Ire land, if the numerical amount of population is taken into account, she ought, in fair proportion, to have 153 mem bers ; if the revenue contribution of Ireland is to be made the basis of computation, she is only entitled to 61 mem bees ; but, taking her claims as arising from p o p u l a ti on and revenue combined, and adding them and dividing by two, so as to obtain a mean, she will be found to have only a right to 102, whereas she has at present 105. Following the same form of estimate, on account of population, Scot land is entitled to 73 members ; as regards her contribu tion to the taxes, she is entitled to 78 members; add these together, as in the former case, and divide by two to get at the mean, and we have 75 as her share, while at present she has only 52. As to the diversion of exclusively Scot tish national revenue from Scottish purposes, the association points out numerous alleged malversations, and shows that several portions of the Scottish crown lands have of late even been actually sold, and the proceeds added to the imperial exchequer, out of which public parks for the inhabitants of London have been provided ; while not a penny can be obtained for the endowment of the Scottish universities—for the establishment of public parks—for the maintenance of a police force in burgh or county— and, while every effort for the construction of harbours of refuge along the stormy and dangerous coasts of Scotland has been pertinaciously withstood by the imperial legisla ture. The association insists that purely Scottish funds shall be applied to Scottish national purposes ; and main tains, also, that Scotland is entitled to have a fair share of the imperial revenue devoted to her public interests and institutions. In these particulars all must admit that the association brings forward tangible grounds of complaint, and points out practical means for their removal. As to the question about the place of honour in the im perial standard, in which the movement took its origin, and concerning which the Times and its confreres have expended a considerable portion of small wit; this could not be more happily disposed of than it was on Wednesday by the noble chairman at thetAi dei Edinburgh thhmaet the Royal hold it is " said his lordship , Arms of Scotland should that take tp precedenceter there nisthaneyteohnifinbthgleosmabessouffdEilotirs gland, in . esablems and devices, in Scotland.

Gentle men, so long as man exists with all his passion, his imper fections—and all his good qualities —so long national as well as personal distinction will remain_ and I, tor one, will not submit without a miumur to the degradation of the Arms of Scotland." The meeting, which was a very brilliant, as well as a numerous and enthusiastic one, unanimously adopted resolutions in accordance with th e v i ews promu l ga t e d b y the association. A similar meeting is shortly to be held in Glasgow, and the movement is extensively organized throughout the country. S o f ar as can b e gu essed by its manifesto, the objects of the association appear reasonable, the advocaty of them ha s hitherto been temperate, and the resolution of its adherents, though calmly expressed, seems rooted and determined. Ender these circumstances, its success is not likely to be thwarted by the sneers or misrepresentations of opposing self-interest ; nor impeded by the indifference of apathetic ignorance. One and all of the speakers on the occasion referred to, admitted, and rejoiced in admitting, that benefits have been conferred on Scotland by its union with England ; they were equally emphatic in declaring their resolution to maintain that union; but while doing so, they clearly shewed the benefits to be mutual, and expressed a firm determination to have the contract of agreement fulfilled on both sides They demand no more, and the voice of a united na ti on , seek ing justice, will not be easily resisted or evaded.- .lIEETIYG OF SHIPBUILDERS, YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY, an adjourned meeting of the master ship builders of this port was held at the Regulating-office, Strand-street, for the purpose of receiving a return as to the number of Liver; ol men that would have been em ployed last week had they been available; and for other business. There was a fair average attendance. Mr. JoaN WILSON GREENE presided. He stated that Mr. Neill, the secretary of the Shipwrights' Association, had been geed enough to go rcund with their secretary to collect the lists from the various masters. It appeared that 22 firms had made a return, leaving 19 who had not. The returns from the 22 showed that they could last week have employed on the average 387 men more per day, had they been available. In answer to WCmestion by Mr. M'Enaor, it appeared that in cases where masters had been working overtime, they had made out their returns as to the number of men wanted, taking as a rule the number they would have required had they not been working this overtime. Mr. NEILL, who had been called in, disputed 'very much the accuracy of the returns, which he thought were not at a 1 satisfactory as to there being 387 men wanted. Mr. Cato had put himself down as 50 men short, although he could fetch men to prove that they had asked there for employment last week, and were refu se d. Mr. CLOVER Did Mr. Cato work overtime ? Mr. NEILL: Certainly. Mr. GRAYSON, in reference to the fact that nineteen masters had made no return, said he felt great disap pointment that the trade would not put themselves to the , trouble and inconvenience of the proposition that had been made. It showed a degree of indifference that he could not have credited, and under the circumstances he thought it unwise to act- further in the matter. Mr. CLAYTON thought the returns useless and incom plete, as they should have contained a column, sheaving not only the number of men wanted, but the number of men that had been employed.. _ _ _ The CIIAIUMAN said - that matter bad been settled before. Mr. NEILL upon it in the same light as Mr. Clayton. It era: : sale: that they were 357 short. perhaps it could be proved that there were that number of men in the town. The -CIIIIRMAN said, little more than one half the firms in the town had given in a report, but those half skewed that they wanted nearly 400 men. He thought it was not material how many men were employed. The simple question was, how many might have been em ployed, had they been available ? Mr. GRAYSON, as the proposer of that, should say that, in the present state, it was better to pass that over, and inquire from Mr. Neill whether the men had enter tained the propositions which were made either of in creasing the number of men, or working piece-work, or, possibly, partly of each ? The CniinarAN promised that Mr. Neil should have a copy of the return. Mr. NEILL said, to be perfectly satisfied as to its accu racy, he should like the masters to state the ship where the men were short, or the number of the yard. He thought the numbers had been put. down at random, and masters had said, at a guess, that they wanted 100 or 200 more men. This was denied, and The CnimmAs afterwards asked Mr. Neill what the men had to say in reference to some observations of Mr. Grayson, made at the last meeting, that was, in regard to apprentices and other matters. Mr. NEILL said, to make one story of the whole, he understood, as he read the report in the paper, that it was proposed that a committee should be appointed, con sisting of an equal number of masters and men, to discuss t oge th er e v ery question connected with the trade. So far as the men were concerned, they were willing to adopt that course. (Hear, hear.) Let the grievances be pointed out, and all settled at once. They were willing to send six journeymen to meet six masters. - The CIIAIRMAN.—DOeS that include apprenticeship ? Mr. NEILL.—TIIat committee will settle everything. Mr. DAWSON should object in lobo to the proposition for making journeymen of apprentices who had only served six years. Mr. ROTLE thought no one would agree to it. The CHAIRMAN. — WeII, let that go for nothing. Mr. NEILL—I inquired from the apprentices what they thought of it, and they said that if the masters and men were both agreed, they should themselves object to it. The CEIAIRMAN.—Then we shall appoint a committee to meet yours, to meet at some early day. M. Neill then retired. _ _ . The CirAinsrAN, at some length, commented on the system of carting the men to their work, and also reviewed the whole sate of the question. The associa tion were placed in a peculiar position ;—not a difficult one, but peculiar from circumstances which seemed to control them, and those circumstances emanating from parties from whom they had the least reason to expect it. The course certain shipowners had pursued, not only hi paying additional wages, but in causing carts to be hired, militated very much against the proceedings. of the association, and went indeed almost to nullify them. Their resolutions, wholesome and beneficial in themselves, and he thought wisely carried for the benefit of the ship owners, could not be carried out, not because the men would not adhere to them, but because of the difficulties the shipowners themselves threw in their way. (Hear.) As they were aware, for upwards of eighteen months there seemed to have been such a want of shipwrights" in this town, that the demand for labour had caused wages to rise up to a point which it would be difficult to define, they were got in so many forms and under so many pre tences. 12s. to 13s. a-day had only been trilling waves. (A voice 16s. was last week paid in Canning-dock.") Now, the association struggled for a length of time, not to reduce wages, but to endeavour to remove numerous com plaints the shipowners themselves made, in consequence of those wages, and the detention of their ships, by the - seeming want of men. They had struggled for a long time ; a deal of time had been spent by the members there, and on their behalf; and strangers had been brought here, and that which had been designated as a monopoly, had been partly broken through, inasmuch as strangers might now work without being molested ; but notwithstanding that there were 500 strangert in the port, there still seemed to be a deficiency of men. To bring the rate of wages to something like a uniform scale, they had adopted that resolution as to carting, which would have been important in its results, but that it had been overruled by the masters themselves. What then should they do ? It had occurred to him whether it would not be better still to cling together as an associa tion ; but let those untoward circumstances rule for the present, let them suspend their rules for the present, and let wages rule as they may, and cartage or any means be employed that the men may please. Let things gO to the state in which they were, and then probably the shipowners would arouse from their apathy, and see then the necessity of co-operating with them. (Applause.) Mr. CLAYTON thought they should let matters stand as they are till after the meeting of their committee with that of the men. Mr. GRAYSON thought the men having so far met them, it would be premature to break up in any abrupt manner, after proceeding so far amicably. Although there appeared , a very decided objection to receiving apprentices who had served six years as journeymen, there appeared an inclina tion on their part to meet in some degree the necessities of the trade either by piece -work or an increase of men. ' He hoped that beneficial results would follow from the meeting of the joint committee; and thought they should agree on the names of six gentlemen as their committee, and then adjourn. He had selected the names of three shipbuilders and three gentlemen engaged in repairs only, and begged to propose :—Mr. W. B. Jones, Mr. J. W. Greene, and Mr. Cato; Mr. WlCeverigan, Mr. BrElroy, and Mr. W. C. Miller. Mr. GARRETT asked what, in the meantime, they were to do with those vessels that they had no hands at ? He understood Mr. M'Elroy had taken a great number of hands from No. 1, Clarence, and he and Mr. Clarke, had not one. He could not blame the men for not coming forward, when other parties gave them 9s. He had only given 7s. till Saturday night, and that morning he had • found one ship completely cleared off, and the men at another only partially at work. Mr. GRA.TSON said he should oblige Mr. Garrett With hands ; or Mr. Crosbie could find strangers for him if he required them. Mr. M'Eutor said, till last Friday he had only been paying 75., bnt since that he had been paying Bs. Mr. CLAYTON said he would be sorry to adopt such a course, after signing that document. Mr. MTl.noy.-011, you have adopted a worse - course than that. There is nothing like a man saying publicly what he will do ; and I told you last Friday morning what I meant to do. The meeting then proceeded to the election of the.com mittee, by members writing the names of six gentlemen on slips of paper. The result showed that the choice had fallen on Messrs. Cato, Dawson, W. B. Jones, M`Keverigan, M'Elroy, and the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN then announced two other returns, in . addition to the 22, • which showed that 612 more men would have been employed if available. Mr. W. B. JONES urged strongly the adoption of piece work ; and it was stated that would form one of the prin cipal points for the discussion of the joint committee. It was agreed that the committee should meet the same evening; at the Great George-street Tavern ; and the meeting was then adjourned till to-morrow (Wednesday). , .
