Such are the people we have . to oppose in this civil and religious warfare. The ,experience of the last thirty years has proV'ed that the paPists of Ireland do not belong to the British • family. • They are the subjects of a foreign potentate, Whom Ingland has foOlishiy per- Mated to inteifere with what concerns us more than her: We have quarrelled with the servant instead of the mas er.

It is.a Well - eStablished maxim that men are generally ' nor " eager andmore zealous in propagating error than an di "cininatirig truth.

But let us bear in mind that the rac , J is not always . Jo the swift. Fraud can only prevail for a brief space. I t may reach the summit of prosperity, there to shine pr, - 41 short interval, but behind it is the dark abyss into which it niug inevitably be ,plunged, not. by.human agen cy Perhaps, but by its own madness and the will of PRO YIDENCE. • „ . This'w.e contend is the state of popery at this hour in these islandL ' It is in alliance with the king's ministers ,and the whig party. It has for its light troops and auxi liaries bands of loose Sectarians, infidels comprehending unitarians of all grades, a knOt of quakers, and all the desperate outcasts of society, men .morally bankrupt in . the world's estimation, and who wi.,li to make the nation as worthless as themselves.. Some of these 7 -nay we will go further —twiny - of ' these are honourable,- conscien-. tine`, and well-meaning men. But they have Made their election —they fight Under the banner of popery—they Pliu& their honest . with perjured , vote . s—they swell the 1111 121 bers of the .revolutionary. and. anti-protestant•party, and with O'CoNNELL and his crew and his idolatry they must stand or fall.

Here we have it demonstrated that the heart of Eng- Isud . is yet sound. Here we have it proved that Lord J ° l ol RUSSELL is entirely dependent upon O'CONNELL'S B IaYeS, the Irish papists in the House of Commons. He has only mad e three converts from the• English party since be came into office, namely, Mr. EVELYN DENISON, Mr. PusEy, and Mr. G. F.

To such vile uses,,however, has a member of the house of RussEr.r.. &een reduced ! Our first consolation is, that the tYCONNELL majority in favOor of Lord Jotni and the « base Whigs" cannot possibly do much further ',llan delaying the busi ness of the country, and waOlk i the sweet voices of the Jail and the, oratory of unwashed patriots in the reahn4 of talk. The, Lords,- we trust, .will-have sense enough to correct their errors, andtippress their follies. Our second consolation is, till the fact of the'hloose of Commons beingentirely ruled by Irish papists will touch the pride and awaken the ire of our slumbering and in- di!T,rent countrymen. , - If hese attacks upon the church teach us what popery is, and theyishow us to what depths profound, where the dregs Of fa&ion lie, will the whigs lover themselves for the, sake' Of place and pelf.: When the, day. of ,reckoning. comes, and soon come it must, popery and whiggery will perish together. Theirs is a det:perate struggle but it will be a vain struggle when the country shall rise to avenge its religion. The day is not far distant ! . Two public meetings were held yesterday, one of the young freemen, and the other of inhabitants who, alp though paying rates and taxes, arc nevertheless, under the provisions of the new precluded froth voting at municipal elections. .In the case of the young freemen -,- they are treated with great harshnesss and injustice. They have been compelled to serve an apprenticeship of seven y,ears,.fOr what ? To be cheated out of the condi tional benefits •of that servitude, and to be told at its expiration that before they can be admitted to the privi-„ lees of burgesses they inuat become householders,and pay. rates for three years ! The hardship - of this is so glaring.tftid so dighont-st that we can - not think the lokfl. will hesitate anionient in altering the bill and preserving the acquired and inchoate rights of all freemen, fuel r sons and apprentices. If Ltd JOHN RUSSELL had been inclined to be con sistent in his careerof.spoliation ,he .would have intro-, • duced a clause in the bill anulling the indentures of those 'whin he, has deprived 'Of - their burgess rights. These young Men might not have - consented to bind themselves for the long period of seven,years.if they had known that monicipal or other advantages would be derived from their serVithilel .- Rini. or five years is time sufficient to learn any handicraft, and few would serve seven if -they could obtain the same rights in a shorter *period. But seven years was the period fixed by law. The right of yoting was . 'equally fixed by laW. The privilegeg obtained brservitude were given by law. Lord JOHN, however, cuts down the law in 'one :instance, and leaves .it as lie found it in another.. He abolishes the rights and privileges which the servitude conferred, but he conti nues the servitude. , This is whig justice ! In the matter of the inhabitants who - reside in the bo rough, who pay rates,-but who are denied the right of voting at elections, simply because they are not inhabi tant householders, we hardly know what to say, for the absurdity of the fraud is inexpressibly ridiculous. For instance, by the bill as it has passed the commons, the present Mayor of Liverpool, thOugh a native of the town, and a bhrgess by inheritance, is denuded of his municipal franchise, and Will not have a vote in the election of the common council. Nay, more; by the bill as it stands,_ he cannot possibly have a vote for the next three years. There are some hundreds of the most respectable inhabitants of the town in the same situation with the Mayor. It is no matter what is the annual amount of rates they pay, for unless they are inhabitant householder's, that' is to say, unless they occupy. a dwelling-house, which they ate tthe bonafide tenants rated to the poor, they are not en titled to vote. at election of 'commoia..councilmen. We are informed of one . gentleman, who actually' pays up- - wards of £l,OOO a year, in the shape of poor rates; who will not have aynte under the. bill. introduced, pressed puSlied 'forWafil with stiehindornitabl.t.t.stuPidity, and finally carried. by- Lord.

At the highly respectable ineeting_of y.esterday-there.. - were pr.2sent individuals who contribute several th un sands a yelr to the poOr'rates, And 'who will not have.a voice in " the electihn of the officers of the corporation. _They are actually- robbed of the privileges they already • enjoy;, and^ which they have acquired either . by birth right Or by servitude ; while those who are. comparatively strangers to the town, who never were apprentices here, -and who never - paid ten pounds to the poor during the whole period'of their residence, will be qualified to vote for the council, of the C or p o r a ti o n.. • . _ Surely the lords will not allow this act of oppreSsion ;cs pass into.a law. Insignificant creatures are sometimes unconsciously in strumental in the accomplishment of great and good de signs. The sacred geese saved the Capitol; and the silly cackling of the Middlesex Gander may yet prove tlie means of:preserving the Irish Protestant Church. P .

Yesterday afternoon, a highly respectable and numerous meeting of the occupiers of warehouses, counting-houses, and shops, who are not householders, was held in the Cottuo, Sale. rooms, over the Exchange-liUildings, for the purpose of petition ing the House of Lords againat Blouse clauses in-the munici 7 pal corporation reforin bill, which enact that houSeholders unly bre burgesses of the new corporation. C. T. , lleNeevie, Esq. was called to the chair. The CirAlitalAN then stated t.he'abject of the meeting, which he said was to take intottiffSideration the propriety of petition ing the House_ of Lords for au alteration in the clause which had -passed the House of Commons, that went to deprive'the householders of • the privilege. Of voting fur common council- men; when, at the sane tithe, they were entitled under the re form act to vote for members of parliament. • (Cheers.) He considered it a very hard case, that-by the municipal reform bill, the occupiers of warehouses -and large tenements, whie were rated many of them at £4OO and £S'JO per annum, should -be excluded from having a voice in, the local erections, whilst residents or houses, however ieferior, were entitled to a vote. He might remarke by way of illustration, that the worthy chief magistrate, who had presided over the town with such universal satisfaction, who so ably filled the office of mayor, would by this clause be deprived of a . vote, even for a common courieil man. (Hear.) Mr. Dunlevie concluded by stating, that there were several gentlemen present who would propose. reso e lotions for their adoption, and he should be happy- to hear their sentiments thereon. - Mr. TliomAS Ca usoti then came - forward and said, that as one who objected to the clause in the bill, being, like many others whom he saw around him, excluded by it from the privi lege of being burgesses of the corporations proposed to be esta blished' by that bill, be had been requested to move the resolu tion he held in his hand, and he regretted that the duty had not devolved upon one more competeut to the performance of it, or to one, the amount of whose contributions to the poor-rates, and other local rates of the town, Might more fairly entitle him to speak upon the question befote . them. However, as one- of those deprived of the priailege, he felt much pleasure in propos ing the resolution. (Cheers.) They were all probably aware of the qualiticatioo,provided for voters under- tile reform act. That qualification consisted of three ingredients, viz., occupa tion, rating, and residence;—residence either as a householder or a lodger—but the bill far the reform bf municipal corporations required another ingredient, namely, houte . occupation,—the burgess Meet be a householder. Some persons imagined that this was ad oversight in the framing of the bill, but as the words "inhabitene hoesetiolder". were repeated several times, and in some places with the emphatic, words bona fide , it could not be doubted but the exclusion was iutentioual. (Hear.) The rea sons adduced by Lord John Russell for confining the municipal franchise to'householders was in order to provide a permanent bodyasf burgesses, but nothing could be inure fallacious than this arginuent. He would - eel: wee wait the most likely to. be it permanent inhabitant of the town—the merchant who paid heavy rates upon his warehouse, or premises rated at £3OO per annum, or the small householder rated at froth £7 to LIU, who, probably coming a stranger to the town in search of employs ment, took a tenement, became qualified, auu then, emplos went having-ceased, left the town. NOW, the bill also provided, that the rates must have been paid for three years beture - the voter was eligible. Wae nut that a Sufficient secutity that there would be a Seed body of electors ? On the subject of this clause a remarkable ignorance prevailed, as few ,persons ever iinagined that the qualification of voter's under the municipal col poratiun Gill was atiferent from that provided by the'reformuctthr mern bers of parliament; and many respectable persens',. who for the first time had heard' of the clause,. thought it impossible that they should, haeti been excluded from the privilege. It• was easy, to account for this ignorance, as •it frequeutly occurred that persons read the debates on the first, second, and third readings of .a bill, but neglected to fellow the bill-through - all the details of the committee. (Hear.) The fact was, that uurin„ one of the debates in the couaittee—the debate on the sixth clause—of which clause he and those around him complaiued, Mr. Jervis, the member fur Chester, proposed as an amendment teat the words " who shall have resided" should he substituted fur the words " who shall nave been au inhabitant householder" —unfortunately the time choseli fur bringing forward this amendment was nut fortunate, or rather sufficient notice of .it had not- been given by the how member, and the committee were pressed by several other amendments at the time. How ever, in the debate which ensued at a late hour in the same evening on Mr. Jervis's motion, he was supported by Mr. Iles keth Fleetwood, the member for Prestuu Mr. Philips, the member for,Mauchester, and Mr. Pease. tie mentioned these names to satisfy some gent.einen who were present that this question was not now brought before the pubec as a question only affecting causer vatives, or to promote conservative pur poses. (Hear, hear.) He mentioned these names also to show nut his view of tile subject was supported by those who being representatives of large towns knew Intl weft the injurious effect of tile clause as it then stouu—knew indeed that it would cut off from the roll of burgesses a large portion of the respectable inaabitauis iu those great mercantile and manufacturing commu nities, whose interests *ere committed to the protection of those gentlemen in parliament. . (Hear.) He 'would also tell the meeting by wheat the amendment was opposed ; it was princi pally opposed I.y the Attorney-General and Mr. Cutler Fergus sun, the one the represeutativeut a Scotch city, and the other of a Scotch county. Now it was a singular ciictuustance cue nected with the opposition of these gentlemen that in ail the boroughs of Scotland the occupiers of premises enjoyed the very privilegewhich it was the object of this meeting to obtain. By the municipal corporation reform act in Scotland, or by the act providing tor the election of councillors and magistrates iu urgbs, which was the setae in, principle' and effect as the bill now before the meeting, it wee. provided that the election of ma gistrates and councillors should be iu the very same persons who .are registered electors under the Scotch iefuriu act, thatis,. occupiers of premises of £lO annual value, resideut witnin -the burgh or seven wilco thereof. •• Persons who merely resided, it was out required by that municipal reform bill that they should behousehdlders. Now he only would ask that the re svectable ;Loud:junta of Li%erpoul, and every' other large Lugtish town, should be placed on the settle fouling with .those of Eelitiburgh .or Glasgow. (Lowlecheeriug.) lie could nut -conceive how the Attorney-Geueral, the member for.the metropolis of §colland, Who no one could dotibt was well 'acquainted with the "instilLtions of. that .coentey, and mu St be cogniient of eeDry clause in - the Scotch inutii6iiisi rektitxi 4, with the fact hetene him that residence unly.vvas required in the burghCciti,Vat 'country, shottid - iii his speech en elr. Jervis's moan fifethet that innurtrerable evirs• wontil arise item iedhe franchise was extended beyond the householders, that tietitioui votes wduld be . put on the register, and that the purity o f eke _ thin would, be materially alfeeted. Now it was quite clear that one or uthereof theSe alternatives must be true : viz., either that ail those evils et' forcibly depiCted by tile ilt,tui hey-Ge neral most, exist in the buruttgbo .Lat Scotland at th e sent. moment, a circumstance ut which neither ilie. g A eu tt t o i r e i l l i c: General nor any other member. had yet informed earriament, or they do-only exist in the too sensitiv t e he it , e l a u g e i s e tt a o t o iu h u a o d f ht : eant 'learned 'gentleman. - (Cheers.)

Wh y, the owners of that immensedide uf,buildiul•, the Exchange, to e vast watehouses on the Guree, neither count quatifyfur a erugie vote under this municipal bill; and some of the owners of pro perty- iu most of the principal streets were in a similar situation: Water-street taught qualify for three votes, Brunswick -street for two; but these qualifications did not arise front high -rated evaretiousis; but. from. public-houses and entail tenements. It might.,be said, that those who were dep rived of ti vote by thit act were qualified as living out ( Attie borough by another ' - but it - did not apply to this particular case. beLewro, the boon which -this bill was to confer .was one of tue'inost partial del scriplibn. • The state of things into which this-bill would plunge the borough would not tend to the well-being of the tutu a mu ge neral. A:ls was content, however, to leave the subject of their meeting fur the House of Lords to legislate upon. lie was happy to second the motion. - Mr. J. •Mykas said, that, it having fallen to his lot to propose the next resolution, he feit much pleasure in cluing so, and con sidered it unnecessary, after what lied -been so ably said, to 'do More than to read it. It was, that the meeting saw nu just rea sons why the qualiticatiou of occupation, rating, and residence, provided by the reform act, should have been dissented from in the present. bid, and considered that the same qua„lification which entitled a person to vote fur members - of parliament should also entitle them to vote in the election of councillors for the borough. Mr. R. W. BATESON seconded the resolution, which, he said, h e did with infinite satisfaction, as he was glad at any time to do anything which might be of utility to the borough. He was aware that the clause which had been alluded to effected the interests of a great number of his fellow-townsmen. His friend (Mr. Carson) having made himself better acquainted with the bearings of the ease awl the pat ticulars of the bill, which lie had explained to them, it was needless for him to do so ;—but there were some circumstances, before sending up the petition, which ought to be alluded to. Many might ask why the meeting had not been convened earlier if it wore of any importance to the inhabitants ? and why the House of Commons had uut been re quested, during the progress of the bill, to alter the clause? The answer to that, which he returned, and probably many others, was, that he was not aware until the advertisement convening the present meeting appeared,that he was disqualified. The framers lof the bill seemed to think that •the voters for common council men should not be placed in a similar situation to those who voted under the reform bill. But he would ask, whether the person paying two or three hundred a-year, or he who paid two or three shillings per week, should be ),referred, if any prefer ence were shown. He was himself a junior partner in - a con cern that was heavily rated, and yet, whilst his clerks were en titled to a vote, he was nut, which be considered as a very hard case, and the measure was altogether unjustifiable.

Yesterday, pursuant to notice s , a meeting was held in the large room, at the GoldMi Lien, of,,the young freemen of this town, who assembled for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords against those clauses in the municipal bill, which will, if suffered to pass into law, be fatal to their a cc r u i ng r ight s a nd privileges. The room was crowded .with young and old bur gesses, at a few minutes past twelve o!clock. Mr. PARSONS proposed that the chair shuuld be taken by Mr. Jaques Myers. Mr.•E. CoantE, in seconding this motion, said, it would be unnecessary for Inni to make any further comments on the qua lificationnf Mr. Myers, than first to call the recollection of the meeting to the very able conduct of that gentleman when he filled the office on IL loaner occasion. Thou g h th e y were inex perienced in public affairs, it was happy for them that they had ' a chairman upon when. they Might rely with conlideuce. Mr. Mvaas was greeted with great applause on his assump tion of the chair. He said that if he had felt uneasy on his last assumption of that office, .how much more excessive must his feelings be on the preseut occasion, when expectation was ex cited by the eulogies of too partial friends. lie could not but regret that it' had become necessary for them so soon again to be called together, urged to action by a most unjust, a most arbitrary sentence passed upon them by a small majority of the House of Commons. 'Mit assembly, with the advocates and partisans ()film measure itself, had felt it to be so exceedingly unjust, that' they could not find even one argument to set against the many thousands which - had been exhibited in its favour. Could anything be more evident than that it was both arbitrary and unjust in any legislative assembly to take from a body of persons that which was fixed theirs by hereditary and constitu tional right? Since they last met a trifling alteration had taken place in the bearing of the clauses in the bill of which they corn plained,which would extend privileges to perhaps a hundred per sons; himself amongst the rest. This alteration was to the effect that the bill was to be availablefrom the period ofits own date when passed, instead of from the sth June. The House of Commons having passed over their claims, with the exception of this small boon, they were now met to petition the House of Lords, a body of individuals who were never yet known to mark coldly the in fringement of rights, whether of individuals or communities—a body which was never yet known to turn a deaf ear to the just claims of any party, however humble. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Myers) would just observe that he trusted that their proceed ings on the present occasion would be characterised by the same spirit as had distinguished the former one,—a meeting which was, be was happy to say it, conducted in that spirit which had given satisfaction to all parties except one. He alluded to the editor of the Liverpool Mercury, whose sneers upon their efforts to preserve their inheritance inviolate were illiberal and unjust. What if that ingenious gentleman had obtained a patent, a right from the king, to give to him the sole right in some article, no matter whether a cork collar jacket, la laugh,) or something possessing equal immensity of value in his consideration, what if this immunity were to be wrested from him, shoulo we ever heMr the last of his lamentations? should we ever be relieved from the complaints whereby he would set forth the grievance? (Laughter.) Ile (Mr. Myers) had immediately subsequent to their firmer meeting on this subject, written letters to the members for the borough and .the , -county, which, with the permission of the present assembly,..he would now lay before them, with the replies of the noblemen and gentlemen' addressed. IIYERS then read the following letters, which he had writted to Lord Sandon, Lord Stanley, and Mr. Ewan on the subject of the late meeting:— ".Liverpool, 22d .June, 1835. My Lord,—At a numerous and ropectable meeting .of young men who would be entitled to the freedom of this borough either at the termination of the period of their apprenticeship, or upon attaining the age of twenty-one years, over which I had the houour to preside, held on Saturday fast, the accompauyiuk petition to the House of Commons was read and adopted. • "'lt was a ISO unanimously resolved, that this petition when signed should be forwarded to your' lordship for preseutatiou; and I now-respectfully beg to transmit you the same, trusting your lordsnip will consider the justice of our claims a sufficient apology for the trouble we are imposing upon you.

Myers, Esq." • • " SAN DON. Mr. SHAND stood forward to move the first revolution. On a former occasion they had met to petition the House of Com mous. They were now assembled for the purpose of laving their case before a more just tribunal. lie was confident, how ever, that if the present legislature were deprived of the power to carry their designs Tutu effect in the present instance, that they would attack their rights iu every way in future, they ' would endeavour to smuggle clauses against them into every; bill that came before the house; and why a ll ? because they made a party question of it—because they (the young freemen) were essentially conservatives. At the time of a termer dee ' too of Mr. Ewan with Mr. Denison, it suited the patty to which those individuals belong to designate us as pure, as inde pendent, as enlightened, to declare th a t corrupt i on h a d f or ever departed from amongst us, and .should be for ever erased from 'their memory; but afterwards, when it again suited their pur pose to wind back to their original ground of mock purity, they again thought fit to assail the burgesses with obloquy., The rea son of this was evident. We thought lit-to choose fur ourselves —we rejected Mr. Thornely, and sent to parliament the man of cur own choice—Lord Saudou. The measures of the present ministry have not, as, they ought to have, the public good for their object; they are a war of party feeling, carriedon strongly against the interests of those who are not of their faction. Their reform bill was characterised as a healing measure, calculated to bring into more compact union those poi tions of the consti tution which had become disjointed by age. What, however, was it in . reality? It was just a bill to destroy the existing rights of a number Of ancient boroughs, that-the theu ministry might be. enabled to create an equal number of whip boroughs. As to our represeptative, Mr. Lwart, he (Mr. Shand) would compare him to the wolf in the fable. If bribery had existed, it was he who had bribed them—they-had not bribed him. Hu had stirred up :and troubled the waters till they were impure, that he might in that impurity find cause of offence. Ile had mudded their waters. (Great applause.) Mr. Shand concluded by moving the first resolution, as follows: Ist Resolution.—That it was the opinion of the meeting that those clauses of the municipal corporation reform bill which deprived of the elective fianchise all persons not admitted to their freedom before the passing of the bill, will inflict a serious injury upon the suns and apprentices of freemen iu the borough of Liverpool. Mr. E Corms:, in seconding the resolution, said he hoped their lordships would be induced to blot out from the bill the unjust clause which went to deprive the freemen of those privi leges to which they were justly entitled. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The second resolution was moved by Mr. KEAIisLEy, and seconded lev Mr. WILLIAM BRANCKER O without comment from either gentlemen. It was as follows: " That a petition to the House of Lords, prityitsg for protec tion of the rights and privileges of the suns and apprentices, of freemen, be forthwith presented." Mr. JOHN FosTLit, jun., previous to proposing the third re solution, said , that he would read over the petition. To this petition Mr. Foster said he did not believe any person present would be found to offer any objection. A person named ALLUN here stepped forward, and Legged to be allowed to offer a few tentaiks on the petition. Mr. Mvsns called the individual to order.. He reinindcd him that the present was a meeting . of young freemen, and he could not with propriety suffer any individual who was n o t dis tinctly of that c la ss toi nterfere with the direct course of the proceedings. Mr. ALLEN insisted, as the meeting was a public one, that he had a perfect right to speak at any juncture when he thought proper. Mi. NITERS begged of him to be silent, and allow the proceed inns for which th . Oy had assembled to go on peaceably. When that business was concluded, Mr. Allen might make what re marks he thought proper. Mr. Myers was supported by the - sense of the meeting, and Mr. Allen gave way. Mr. FosTEn then proceeded. Having read the resolution, which was to the effect—'• That the petition read be adopted, and forwarded' to his Grace the Duke of Wellington for pre sentation," he said that he did not believe that their cause could possibly-he intrusted to an individual who would espouse it more warmly, or watch. over its progress with more ability, than the Duke of Wellington. That nobleman was not the one to retain to them so shuffling and cvasive an answer as had been received from Mr. Ewalt. Ho was firm end unbending in the justice and rectitude of hisiiurpises, and his principles gave earnest of the confidence with which those whose immunities were threat ened might rely upon - him. lie could tell the meetin7 by what party their former petition bed been disregdrcled. 'lts claims had been thrown out by the Irish party. (Much confusion was at this juuctiVre created by' Alien, the individual before tr.en-: ...''b~ „ +~j .~~l.litl~FMrl4i~gt tinned, who, in the warmth of his feelings, ;interrupted the speaker, and. drew forth many expressions .of digapprobatlen from the assembly.) He (Mr. Foster) had: loOked with 'great confidence to the commons, where they bad the able and indefati gable advocacy of Lord Seudon and others; but he must say that he now looked forward With much greater hope to the other Vouse of legislature. That house had rights of its own WhiCh had more than once been threatened.• • Let them guard =the outworks. If they did not listen to the claims which they. (the petitioners) were about to lay before them, how soon might the House of Commons propose some resolution which would affect their own rights. Mr. WARNER SHAN° stood forward and proposed that the thanks of the meeting be cordially and warmly given t that member and friend of the burgesses (Lord Sandon) for his va luable and untiring zeal as the champion of their rights. (Loud cheers.) Whether a similar compliment should be paid to Mr, Etc❑rt, ►t was not for him to say. (Strong expressions of dis approbation.) Me. CLAY seconded the resolution. He could bear testimony to the indefatigable zeal with which his lordship had watched over their interests. When be was in the metropolis on a late occasion, he had narrowly watched the conduct of both our mem bers. When the noble lord who was now the subject of their expressions 'of admiration stood up to speak, there was no shuffling of feet, no cock crowing, as was the case when their other representative presented himself to the• notice of the house. No; ,his lordship was listened to with respectful atten tion, and he (Mr. Clay) hoped that he would soon have a col league who would be more able to protect them when their rights should be assailed.—Three times three cheers were then proposed and given for Lord Sandon. An OLD FREEMAN, whose name we did not learn, stepped forward and requested to be informed in what the rights and privileges, of which he had that day heard such frequent men tion, consisted. He bad been a freeman for thirty years, and had not yet found it out. Mr.'Mvelis said that as the business of the meeting was now concluded, the person might, if he pleased, remain and discuss the subject. Mr. E. T. KEA RSLEY proposed that the thanks of the meet , ing be given to Mr. Myers for his able con4uct in the chair. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Myers bowed and quitted the chair. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIPERPOOL STAND.IRD. Sta,—May I beg to call, through the medium of your paper, the attention of the 'public to l e subject in which Lain interested, as the person to Whom was entrusted the management, and, I may say, the formation of the fire-police of this town—namely: the merits of the hose reel for fire-engiuei`, to the honour of in venting or adapting which there are several claimants. First and foremost stands Mr. Wales, the chairman of the late watch ',board, or, snore properly speaking, at that time the board, who claims it fur Mr. Whitty; secondly, a Mr. Wil liams, one of the late and present commissioners of that board, claims it on the strength of having read a book which, although originally published anonymously, is now adopted by a Mr. Boardman, who also claims the great merit of this Ocuderful discovery, which, for aught I know to the contrary, may be second only in importance to the discovery of the longitude. A CorreSpoudent of yours, under the signature of G , infotniS the world that he laid before Mr. Wales, the late board, the plans ,and estimates of the expenses of adopting the American hose reels as adjuncts to the fire-engines now in . use in this town. All that I have. to say of Mr. Wales's .pretensions is soon disposed of. A gentleman connected with one of the London fire-offices left with Mr. \Vales drawings of the Ame rican hose reels, which, in a personal interview, he requested me to recover front him, and, if I considered them applicable, to lay them before the board for their consideration or adop tion. These drawings, although repeatedly applied for, were never forthcoming. Air. Williams, the seccnd claimant, founds his claim to the honours of the invention upon the fact that he has had the sin• yular good luck to have read Mr. Boardman's book—which it should seem nobody else ever thought 9f reading—America and the Americans, which, among other matters, and of these you may be possibly ignorant, contains an account of the Ame rican fire-eagine hose reel. This - inventioP, Mr. Williams, in a letter recet.tiy published under his signature, says, •`he was convinced was of such practical utility, that he was long soli citous to secure its advantages for our newly-established fire police ;" but "that it was not until the appointment of Mr. Whitty that he was enabled to have its practical application tested by au experimental machine affixed to one of the engines." On this subject I have only to say that the solicitude of Mr. Williams was never manifested during the period I held the post of superintendent of the fire-police, for I take upon me publicly to state that it was never mentioned to me either pub licly or privately, or to the fire-engine committee of the watch board. Of this I have a right to complain, as being unfair towards.me, because, if it mean anything, it must mean that he found on my part au indisposition to adopt an improvement which my successor had no objection to reduce to practice. And now for this wonderful discovery which, if adopted, is to extinguish all fires, and, fur aught I know, to prevent the igni tion of all combustible substances, and render a magazine of gunpowder as little dangerous as one of granite. In New York it may be useful, hecause.there they have nu water companies, consequently no water plugs, and when water is required in case of fires, they have to force from the river the water required to supply the engine extinguishing the fire, at whatever distance that fire may happen. Although, as a practical man, 1 . thought it inapplicable to Liverpool, to every part of which water in a greater or a less de degree is supplied, I was still anxious to see if it could be intro duced with any degiee of advantage, and with any probable benefit to the town. But there were many considerations which induced me not hastily to commence alterations cf the magni tude required. First, the men had cost the town a consider able sum in training to their duties on the then system. The machinery had to be Made, and the:whole of the engines were not then complete, a thing of the first necessity. Neverthe less, the sergeant was employed, whenever his other duties per mitted, in the construction of a cylinder hose reel, fur the pur pose of trying the practical utility of this American invention, and when I quitted the office, the work was in progress. Is it then fair to insinuate either directly or by implication that 1 was not ready to facilitate the introduction of this supposed improvement ? 1 have, however, some objections to make to the construc tion of these hose reels. In the first place, the reels now made are formed of solid wood with iron flanges, around which the hose is wound, and therefore prevents all access of air to the lower layers. In consequence of this, they will soon become mouldy and, in fact, decay, and will most probably be found of no use when wanted. This, I apprehend, is of some importance, as the hose costs ten shilling per yard to ,the town. Secondly, because the hose reel is so placed that unless the engine can be placed across a street at a fire, a thing not always practicable, two men would be required to unwind the reel, and should one length only be required, the greater part of the hose will have to be dragged on 'the ground the who of the distance, with a friction that .would soon wear them out; particularly should five or 'six lengths of 40 feet each be required, and I would observe that each of these lengths weigh nearly 100th. When the branch "man has taken his station, o❑ the present principle, he has to wait until one of the firemen has unscrewed the length from the reel and attached it to the engine, while another must take the remaining hose on the reel, and connect it With the plug pipe and the engine. On the old plan both these operations were going on at the same time, and the man had nothing to do but to uulap the hose on its own ground, without any file lion to the hose, or without any delay. The new plan, like many other new things, looks well in theory, but my belief is that it will fail in-practice, particularly in narrow streets and courts, in the desirable requisites of combining celerity with economy. Again, should the engine have to be removed, the hose will have to be dragged on the groubd, for no time can be spared to wind it on the reel, while on the old plan, they might be removed simultaneously with the engine. Suppose a fire to take place, fur the extinguishing of which one engine is suffi cient, or at least will only be paid for by the tire-oflices, cud the hose ()nits reel is insufficient, to supply this deficiency another engine must be brought out, or the additional hose cannot be got, while otk,the old plan a man might have carried a length upon his shoulder. Suppose a man stationed at the top of a building with a branch, for the purpose of reaching another in its neighbourhood, requires another length of hose, how under the reel plan is that length to be attached? These are some few of the many objections which, as a prac- tical man, I have towards the irloption of the reel plan, and if persisted iu, I am confi lent will be discOvered at a moment when there will be no time, indeed uo possibility, of lemedying its general defects. Obviously, a fire-engine establishment to be of any use, mast be complete ill all its parts, and ready at all times, and in all seasons. If this be not the case it is worse than useless, because a degree of dependence is always placed upon it, and, in fact, prevents the recourse to other sources of assistance in those times of need. 1 have turned ray attention to this subject, and, if requested by the lire committee, shall have no objection to submit to them a pl an which Will obviate many of the objections I have endea voured to point out.—l ant, &c.

PocKwr-PicKrtic.--Un Saturday a young thief was placed at the bar of the Police-office, charged by Mr. Dobic, surgeon, who stated that he was passing elong itauelagh-street on the preceding evening, when he heard the watchman cull out to him and request that be would hold the prisoner whom he (the watch man) had then in custody, as he wished to rut after another boy, the two having stoleu a handkerchief. Mr. Pubic said he had consented, without once•dreanaing that he had himself been the victim. When the watchman returned from an uusue"cessful pursuit, however, he had shown him his own handkerchief, which the prisoner had taken 'from his pocket. Ile was seized by the watchman while he was in the act of passing it to the other boy. Two other handsome silk handkerchiefs were found on the person of the prisoner, who was committed to the House of Correction for three months.

Fitts AT KNOWSLEY-HALL.--On Friday aftel - noon, ahout• three o'clock, flames were seen to issue from one of the bed room windows in the west wing of this noble mansion. • The :Earl of Derby, Sir John Stanley, and Mr. Chas. Stanley, with. several other distinguished guests, were engaged at the tune iu a game of cricket on the lawn. 'The Marina bell being rung, the servants anti workmen employed about the premises,. amounting to about 250, were speedily collected, and, under the direction of the noble earl and others, proceeded to extinguish the dames by means of a private fire•engine kept at the halt At the same time an express was sent oft' to Prescot, fur further assistance. By great exertions the dames were subdued in about half an hour, there being fortunately plenty- of water at hand. The roof of the wing, however, fen in, and the damage • to that part of the building is considerable. Great apprehen sions were at one time entertained, that the fire would extend to the state-rooms, and,ultimately to the whole building. Had the accident occurred during the night, nothing could nave pre-, vented such a result. We understand that the tire was caused by the kitchen flues being overheated.
