The private character of that right hon. gentleman is, to us, a security that he would not, willingly and premeditatedly, do anything which could be charac terized as politically profligate. We shall not, how ever, compromise our honesty, by concealing the impression, which a dispassionate consideration of his career, as a politician and a minister, has forced upon us, t`-at he has wofrilly and signally departed from that straight-forward course which ought to be the path of great statesmen. We cannot condes cend to blink the expression of what we conceive to be the truth. There is, independent of the right course, a consistent course, for every statesman to pursue. Sir Robert Peel may have pursued the first. He may he right, now. We may he wrong in finding fault with that course. A consistent course, however, he has not pursued ; and we are almost inclined to believe, that danger as great is to be apprehended from the glaringly public expedi tion of th.t inconsistency in a statesman, as is feared as the result of the measures with respect to which it has been displayed. We have been in the habit of regarding the ex pressed opinions of public men as founded upon some definite principle—some settled conviction. We look upon the leading statesman of this, or that, party, as an exponent of the opinions and feelings of a definite portion of the community. His influ ence in a representative system of government is base 3 upon, and dependent upon, this principle. Sir Robert Peel, however, demurs to this long recognised state of things. He tells us, practically, that the he , d of the column is to move the base; that the representation of any given amount of pub lic opinion is free to direct his influence in complete contravention of such public opinion. We have been looking up to him for the maintenance of a certain policy—laid down by himself—the justice and wisdom of which we have been impressed with from his own lips; yet he claims a right to turn round, and say to us, " the time has come when I must pursue an opposite course," and to drag us with him. Can we help asking, in such a case, " how have you arrived at your new conviction ? by what process ? in what time ? Is it the conviction of a day, or of a crisis, or has it been making way__ silently, for years?" A further enquiry suggests itself—" are you serious now ? Is there any secu rity that we may not some day be called upon to hear' you announce another, and, perhaps, an oppo site, conviction." There is, obviously, no such se curity. We cannot point to one recorded opinion, or one enunciated principle of acting, of a statesman who recognises such a code of political morality, and say, " here, at least, we are safe." The new light may be breaking in upon his mind even now. The scale, which we are destined hereafter to he told has dimmed his political vision, may be just begin ning to lose its opaqueness, or may be almost gone. The oracle may be 9 y beginning to shak e o ff i ts torpor, or may he reaW to startle us with some new discovery. To trust, in such a case, is to be idiotic. Confidence in the professions of public men are per fectly incompatible with the existence of such a sys 'tern of political morality, which overturns the whole action of the constitution itself, by rendering the re presentative principle, upon which it is based, a farce and a delusion. It is not for us to speculate here upon the next probable movement of the professors of this lax mo rality ; whether the sugar duties, the Irish church, the repeal of the legislative union between the two countries, the recognition of a non-religious system of education, or some measure more directly affect ing the liberties of the subject and the security of the state, are destined to be the field of its exercise. A far more pertinent enquiry would he—what is to be the course of the British people to protect them selves from the vagaries of these men, who have thus thrown from them even the shadow of respon sibility, and declared openly, that we are not to rely upon their professions, or their pledges ? Happily, Sir Robert Peel himself has afforded us a clue to aid us in such an enquiry. " Her Majesty's advisers saw that the time had arrived when these measures must be conceded ; and they resolved at once to undertake the task of their settlement." This is the stereotyped announce ment of every measure of apostacy. Why has the time arrived ? Why is that a necessary and a wise measure now, which, last year, or a few years ago, these same men told us was pregnant with ruin to the empire ? We answer—because we have been sleeping at our posts, whilst the workers of mischief have been actively mining, around and beneath us. We have let in the small rill, and stood unresistingly by until it has grown into a flood—until " the time has come" when its onward progress must no longer be impede -1 ' " obsta pri d the wise maxim and feebly contended against the growth, of disease in the body politic, until" the time has come" when the physician has to insist upon amputation. Take, for an example of our meaning, the posi tion of the conservative body of the nation, with respect to the pending measures for the withdrawal of protection from native industry. We have seen, for years, a powerful and well-organised body—the Anti-Corn-Law League—industriously inoculating the public mind with convictions of the necessity of a free trade in food—a free interchange of commo dities with foreian countries, to the exclusion of all consideration for native product ness— artizan and the labou stand made against t s of a large mass of the he capitalist, the ma to the ignorance of th Was anything like a firm The feeling of excitement which exists in the union on the subject of this Mexican quarrel does not extend toward the relations of the model republic -eAreedy- found that war_ costs money ; that volunteers, however bellicose, must have rations, and clothing, and arms. The surplus revenue is rapidly vanishing ; the issue of treasury bonds is in prospect ; the consummation of the banking scheme is being indefinitely post poned, and a reduction of tariff duties is becoming daily a more impracticable event. Independently of these sedatives, another material consideration, of a kind which Brother Jonathan seldom shuts his eyes to, has rendered him of late moderately civil towards Great Britain. The consideration in he spread of this movement ? Were those, even, who are now moving, so vigour ously to arrest its triumph, at their posts ? They d in petty projects of rat ulation, at the They were imm, following, in extanc question is thus glanced at in the city article of the New York Morning Herald of the Bth instant : " Our exports to Great Britain and dependiences, con tinue in abut the same proportion to the aggregate as previously reported, and comprise the most valuable part of our foreign export trade. The exports to Great Britain from the South. are a larger per cent of the aggregate than those from the North. The commercal relations be tween England and the United States are of the most valuable nature, particular ly to the principal interests of this country. The balance of trade between the two countries is annually largely in our favour, and as the variety of our exports increase, larger markets will spring up for our produi tons. Our shipments of breadstuffs and provisions to Great Britain, within the past five or six years, have increased immensely, and the facilities we now enjoy, in the entry of our products into British ports, complred with those of former yerrs, will open a trade between the two countries in the agricultural products of the North, hardly second to that now existing in the principal agricultural products of the South. The re moval of the restrictions contemplated under the new Corn Bill of Sir Itib,rt ['eel's, will ultimately give us markets tor our breadstuffs—we say uitimatrly, because it will require borne time to extend the cultivation of grain in this country, sufficient to bring prices down to a point low enough to enable us to compete succesatully with the grain growing countries more favourably situated to anticipate us in any demand for breadstuffs in the United Kingdom," With this feeling as to the advantage to America of the preservation of amicable relations with this country, we have little fear of the favourable settle ment of the Oregon question being achieved. With respect to the relations between our Cana dian settlements and the United States, if we can believe the transatlantic newspapers, they are fast settling themselves. The ,New York Morning Herald, quoting the proceedings of a meeting of the Whig .arty, from the Montreal Pilot, remarks,— " We look upon the proceedings of this banquet as very sign ticant of the direction that the ropular will is taking in Canada. It is beyond question that nine-tenths of the people are in favour of a republican form of Go vernment." n them to th We fear it must come to this ; although the pear wi;l perhaps hang on the tree a little longer. We have given, in another column, an extract from the speech of Mr. D'lsraeli, delivered on Tuesday last, containing the evidence adduceable in support of the charge brought against Sir Robert Peel by . Lord George Bentinck, of having dealt disingenuously—in fact, of having " hunted to death" his noble relative, the late George Canning. j Mirror of Parliament and the Times,. But how ,vere the reports of the Mirror got up ? The paper had not a separate corps of reporters. It was made out of the best portions of the most extended re ports of the gentlemen engage! on the Times, Chro nicle, and Herald, who met together daily to com pare their notes, and write out the speeches amongst them. en the occasion in question, from its agree ing with the Times, the passage disputed must be concluded to have been supplied from the notes of the Times reporter. Sir Robert Peel argued, from these data, that there were three authorities in his favour for one against him (the llirror of Parlia ment counting as nothing); and that it was more likely that the passage was interpolated by the one, than omitted by the three. Here the question rests ; and here, we presume, it must rest. In justice to Sir Rohert Peel, how ever, we do not think that the stigma of having uttered the sentence and the delinquency with which it would mark his conduct, to Mr. Canning, cannot, on the present evidence, and after so great a lapse of time, be properly attached to his cha racter. A spirit of fairness would have prompted us to give Sir Robert's reply, delivered on Friday evening. Its extreme length, however, extending over six co lumns of the Times, and a discursiveness not usual with that statesman, utterly precludes us from giving any portion of it in his own words; and we must therefore content ourselves with a summary of its leading details. the charge was of a two-fold nature; first, that having in 1829, during the debate upon the Catho lic Relief Bill, admitted that in a communication made to Lord Liverpool in 1825, he had asked to be relieved from office, urging, as his, reason for doing so, that he had become convinced that something must he done for the . Settlement of the question, and that, therefore, he acted unfairly towards Mr. Canning in withdrawing his support from that statesman in 1827 ; and, secondly, that he had pro cured the insertion of a garbled report of the speech of 1829 in Hansard's debates, omitting the particu lar passaae, upon which the charge was founded. Mr. D'lsraeli supported the views of Lord George Bentinck, by producing the report of the Mirror of Parliament and of the London Times, in both of w hich was to be found the omitted passage. The Liverpool Sanatory Bill passed the Standing Orders Committee of the Lords, on Friday. On Sunday last, the sum of thirty-two pounds was col lected at Wallasey Church for the Church Missionary Society, after sermons by the Rev. W. W. Ewbank and the Rey. Dr._l3srth.____ On Sunday morning last. after a sermon by the Rev. S. W. Saunders, Vicar of St. Ishtnaers, Pembrokeshire, the sum of thirteen pounds was collected in West Derby Chapel, for the Incorporated Society for Building, &c., Churches. TERMINATION OF THE STRIKE.—WE have elsewhere announced that the strike at Birkenhead was at an end, and we are extremely glad to say that the struggle has alao ceased in Liverpool. The master-masons have re solved to yield the 275. per week to the men, and half an hour refreshment time each afti-rnoon. LAUNCH —To-morrow, at eleven o'clock, a splendid new ship, of about 600 tuns, will be launched from the building-yard of Messrs. P. Chaloner and Sons, Baffin street. She has been built for John Worrall, Esq., and is intended for the Calcutta trade. She will be command ed by Captain Williams, late master of the Robert Finnie. CHURCH EXTENSION.—We understand that the Lord Bishop of Chester will preach in St. Michael's, Pitt street, on the morning of Sunday, July sth, in behalf of the Building Fund of St. Simon's Church. We are happy to know this, as we regret to learn that, owing to some public societies being unable to make the exp cted grants, there is still a considerable deficiency in the fund requisite for completing the church. We trust that the attendance of friends will be numerous, and their contri butions liberal on the occasion. The first stone of the church will be laid on the 14th of July. POLICE COURT, YESTERDAY.—Georzeina Dowling, for robbing a man named Michael Kennedy, in Waterloo road of 7s. 6l and a tobacco-box on Saturday night, was committed to gaol for two months.—A woman named Mary Coke was charged with robbing a flatman from Lancaster of two£lo notes, and a £5 note from his per son on Saturday night, io Salthouse-lane, and the case being so far proved, (though no money was found upon her,) she was committed for trial at the sessions.—A res pectThly dressed young man was charged with robbing a gentleman named Tarrson, in Anon-street, of some clothing and a few articles of jewellery. The prisoner's brother-in-law lodged in the house, and the prisoner was in the habit of getting his meals there. Some of the articles were found at pawnbrokers. He was committed for trial. IL was a disputed question whether the to Lord Liverpool of his change of opinion was in a written or a verbal communication. To prove that it could not have bee the former, Sir Robert had his correspondence between them, in the year in question, brought from his country seat; and there was no trace there of its having been thus made. After entering into a long argument and quoting GREAT HEAT OF THE `WEATHER.—Dur'ng the whole of the past week the weather in this neighbourhood has been literally scorching, the extreme elevation of the ther mometer having been, on Tuesday last, 71 degs.,Wednes day, 80, Thursday, 83, Friday. 79, Saturday, 71, Sunday, 78, and yesterday 81 degrees. This is a very high average. On the 7th instant, however, the greatest heat rea-hed 87, an elevation which it has not attained since the commence ment of the present century. In the commencement of 18-12 we had a similar hot month, the extreme temperature on the 12th of June being 86. It differed, however, from the present month, the latter portion of it being marked by heavy 'mica. In June, 1826, the thermometer reached 84 degrees, with great drought throughoutthe month. We had nothing so high as this since the June of 1799, when the thermometer, we believe, approached 90 degrees. We have not, however, the precise temperature at hand ; but are correct in stating that it was the highest on record. Yesterday we had some thunder, with a refreshing shower, which must have been most grateful to the parched vege tation; and the atmosphere at present indicates a further fall. DISTRESSING CALAMITY.—A most melancholy oc currence took place on Friday evening last on the Welch roast, by which Mr. Bernard, of Daulby-street, lost his life. In the neighbourhood of the little Orms Head, and about six miles from Conway, are the extensive Limestone Quarries of Rhos, distant from the bay of Rhos about half a mile. A company of gentlemen ' of whom Mr. Bernard was one, have taken a lease of these quarries, and a railway and loading stages, with other works have been constructed between the quarries acrd• the sea. On Friday ;Fist, Mr. Arthur Holme of this town, under whose superintendence the works Bre being done, was engaged during the day, principally in levelling, and was assisted by Mr. 1 3ernard. The day having been intensely hot, and both parties fatigued, Mr. Bernard proposed that they should bathe about seven o'clock in the evening. Mr. Hokin, Mr. Bernard, and another young gentleman named Phillips, accordingly pushed off from the edge of the bay in the boat and dropped the anchor about twenty yards from the shore where the water was only about six feet deep. While Mr. Holme was dropping the anchor Mr. Bernard undressed and plunged in, the former having only taken off his coat. Mr. Bernard made one stroke, when suddenly throwing up both his hands, he turned on his back and sunk in that po. sition. His companions shouted to the workmen who were employed on the stage, and both of them plunged in after him. Mr. Phillips having unfortunately got his left arm entangled in his shirt sleeve, was himself in imminent danger, and his life was saved wiih difficulty; but, Mr. H olme, who is an excellent swimmer, dived several times to the bottom, but a strong tide ebbing, he was unable to reach his friend. He had the presence of mind to put a stocking on a boat hook, and several men plunging into the water to his aid, they soon got out the body, but not. withstanding that not more than seven or ten minutes had elapsed, it was too late, for life was quite extinct. Every application that could be resorted to was tried, but in vain ; and there is no doubt, but the sudden plunge, after exposure all day in such intense heat, had caused internal cramp, for after the first stroke he sunk to the bottom with his face upwards, and made no motion, the water in that place being clear as chrystal. Mr. Bernard bad formerly been of the firm of Bernard and Ledson , extensive ware house keepers in this town, and he was about to become the resident manager of the quarries in question. He was deservedly respected, and his sudden and melancholy end has plunged an extensive circle into profound grief. DEATH OF CHARLES HORSFALL, ESQ. We have this week to record the death of one of the oldest and most respected of those " merchant princes," whose career of honour and utility is intimately associ ated with the trowth and present eminence of the port of Liverpool. We refer to Mr. Charles Horsfall, who ex pired on Thursday last, at his residence at Crosby. For about half a century Mr. Horsfall has been a resident in Liverpool, conducting an extensive foreign trade—of late in partnership with his sons ; and during that period has won, by his strict integrity and punctuality, the esteem of his contemporaries, and afforded to all around him a pattern of the true character of a British merchant. That his excellent qualities have been justly appreciated, it is due to his fellow-townsmen to acknowledge. For a considerable period of his life he was honoured by a seat in the Town Council, where his talents, and the good sense displayed by him upon the multifarious subjects coming before the consideration of that body, were con spicuously shewn ; and in 1832 and 3 he was elected to the Mayoralty, succeeding in that office a merchant of his own standing, Mr. Samuel Sandbach. Until within the last two or three years. when his health partially failed him, and his age called for relaxa tion and a relief from the toils and cares of public life, Mr. Horsfall continued untiringly to devote himself to the service of his fellow-townsmen, and to the advance ment of the interests of this great port. He was a firm and yet humane magistrate; most efficient and liberal in his mayoralty ; and as a member of the Dock Commit tee, whicia office he filled up to the close of his public life, his great commercial experience and the soundness of his views were invaluable to his colleagues. Although in private as in public life most conscientious, he was tolerant, on all occasions, of the consciences or the opi nions of others ; whilst he would never submit to be turned aside, by any consideration, from the course which in his heart he believed to be a just and true one. The charities of the town have lost in him a munificent sup porter ; and his private beneficence, which was large, will be severely missed by the deserving unfortunate of his fellow-creatures. In private life—in all the relations of husband and of father—Mr. Horsfall was exemplary and beloved; and will be lamented very far beyond the circle of his imme diate family and friends. Mr. Alderman Thomas Berry Horsfall, his eldest son, and a son worthy to tread in the steps and inherit the honours and estimation of such a father, will by this event become the head of the firm, of which he has long been the most active member. *ere not their own ; . heals of a minister nho, having is now throwing them over, brink of a They were busy ur n , down workhouse dietari on end tire bilk, cutting flees of tithe •. of factory labour, small ends property, supporting long he and introducing, for their own benefit, .of the wedges which, when driven home, are des. fined to anni hil a te the m .

SINGULAR FREAK OF TWO YOUNG WOMEN FROM HULL, AND THEIR DISCOVERY IN LIVERPOOL, IN SAILORS' ATTIRE ; FOR THE PURPOSE OF GOING TO SEA. Yesterday, much interest and curiosity were excited at the Parish-office, in Fenwick-street, in this town, by the discovery that two fine young, and apparently respectable female servants, latterly from Hull, and in neat sailors' clothing, had been endeavouring to be engaged in the mercantile marine, and afterwards in the royal navy. As, in the latter service, a personal examination by a surgeon, of candidates, is required, this ordeal, before it was carried beyond the stripping off of their garments, was the means of inducing one of them, from a feeling of modesty, to reveal their sex : andl they were: accordingly sent to the Parish-office, so that they might be redeemed from their rash intention of going to sea. (which they most strenuously prosecuted,) and sent back to their friends. Both are good looking, bouncing lasses, and both were dressed in round blue jackets and vests ; one wearing white twowsers and the other blue, each with a sailor s handkerchief, hat, &c., in the neatest style. Their hair was cut short, and they appeared like two sprightly youths bent upon making their fortunes by crossing the high seas, and delichted with the prospects of the hazardous line of life they had chosen. Our reporter was politely introduced to both of them, in a room at the Parish-office, and found the younger of the two the more communicative, though she declined to account for the extraordinary resolution they had taken, which, however, there is some reason to suppose, origi nated in a freak, or, quite as probably. a love affair. From what we could learn from their own lips, and especially from the younger, the following is their history :—They are both the dauahters of small farmers, and both the parents of each are still living. The younger girl said her name was Caroline Sarah Abbey, and she was seventeen and a half years of age. Her companion, named Harriet Palmer, was one year older. Caroline was a native of Yorkshire, and, at the age of thirteen, went to service, at Appleton. She then went into the service of a gentleman in the same county, where she re mained for two years. She had met that gentlematf to day (yesterday), in Liverpool, and be did not recognise her in her sailor's attire, though he looked sharply at her. She then went to service at a gentleman's house in Sheffield, and was there three years. She afterwards went to London, to the Temperance Commercial Hotel, in Well-street, where she acted as housemaid. for a year. sod a hntlia ---Sho-thraxevirot To rum, - to the Blue Bell Inn, in the Market-place, where she was employed as bar maid. The other girl, Harriet, was head cook at the same establishment. They became acquainted, and made up their minds to go to sea. They acted as tonseurs in cutting off the long portion of each other's hair. The girl Harriet was horn at Barton, in Lincolnsh , re. She stated that she had, in her younger days, milked many a more of cows. She went to service at twelve years of age; was three years at lier first place at Barton, and afterwards two years at Barrow ; thence back to Barrow, and from that place to the Blue Bell, at Hull, where she acted as cook for eight months. A month after, Caroline came to the house ; she (the last) suggested going to sea. Both gave notice to leave, but Caroline's was not entertained, and she left without her wages, in company with the other. They purchased their sailor's clothes in Hull, and when dressed in them, were not recognised even at their lodgings. Their female apparel they wrapped up and sent home to their mothers. They paid their fares by rail to Manchester, when, their money becoming short, they walked from that town, to this, stopping at Warrington during the night, and arrived here on Friday. On Saturday, they went together to several shipping offices, and also to the Sailors' Home, to obtain berths in a vessel. Promises were made to ship them in merchant vessels, and they stated their belief fiat they would have got away, but that a young man persuaded them to go on board of a man-of-war, and they applied at the naval office. (They had on the previous night slept at a lodging-house, in a hed by themselves, and in this room also slept two sailors, but their sex was not discovered. Caroline went to the Prince's Dock on Saturday, and a captain would have taken her on board, but as he would not also take Harriet, the agreement did not come off, as they would not part.) _ _ The commander at the naval office said they were fine strapping lads. A young man had offered himself at the same time, and they were all three sent for physical ex amination to Mr. Craig, surgeon. The young man was examined first in a room by himself. The two girls were then called in, and required to strip. They both took off their jackets, but being pressed to go farther in the pro cess of disnuding, they confessed their sex. Caroline had assumed the name of "Tom Jackson," and the other of " Harry King," and it appeared they used these names col 'latently throughout,—for on questioning them, they called each other " he," and " Tom" and " Harry." They went back to the Sailors' Home; but some intimation of their sex having got abroad, they were looked after by Mr. Rowland, of the Parish-office (in the absence of Mr. Gray), and brought to the Parish-oifi,:e. They both stated that had not a second doctor (or young man) been brought in, they would have passed inspection by the first, and obtained their desire of being enrolled in the navy, for which they appeared to be exceedingly Unlined, though, on being reasoned with, they said that, being found out, they would relinquish their adventure. They were seen at the Parish-office by several gentlemen from 'Change, who had heard of the circumstance. Harriet is the eldest of six children by the same parents, Caroline out of a family of thirteen brothers and sisters. The latter said she had been most kindly treated by a lady of Yorkshire, who had sent her to school, and that she could write, draw, play the piano, &c. She also referred to the great kindness of a brother-in-law. It was finally determined at the Parish-office, that they should both (as they appeared to be respectable) be com fortably domiciled last nicht at the house of Mr. Row land, and that they should be provided with female attire, and sent home to their parents by railway this day. The probability is, that their sweethearts had gone, or pur posed going to sea, and that they had gone off in seamen's guise in quest of them. PRESENTATION.—On Tuesday last, which was the concluding day of the examination of the young females instructed the Girls' School of the Mechanics' Institu tion. (Blackburne House,) the pupils presented to their highly-esteemed teacher, Miss Jones, a valuable gold chain, as a token of the esteem and respect which they entertain for her, from her untiring exertions and atten tion to their mental improvement and general welfare. DEATH BY DROWNING.—On Sunday morning the body of a man named John Wilding, aged about twenty, was found near Beacon's Gutter, on the north shore. The deceased bad gone into the water to bathe, and getting out of his depth he was drowned. When the tide retired the body was left on the strand. The deceased was a servant in the stable% of the brewery belonging to Mr. George Wright, in Union-street ; and a fellow servant, William Ashcroft was with him at the water's edge when deceased went in, but having gone away did not witness the a cci dent. The body was found by another person. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS' ANNIVFIRSARY. — The anniversary meeting of the schools connected with the Established Church will be h.id on Thursday next, the 25th instant. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. Dr. Peile, High Master of Repton School. It must be highly gratifying to all true friends of the Church of England to remark the increase in the number of children recei ing the inestimable benefits of a sound scriptural eddc4tion in the principles of our national Church. Nor is the orca.ion one H call forth the sympathies of the Friends of the School alone, hut also of all those who are true lovers of their country. For from the education imparted to the children, we may have good ground to hope that they will grow up honest, peaceable, and industrious members of society. We therefore trust that on such an interesting occasion, the attendance will prove bow deeply the com munity at large is interested in the advancement of Scrip tural education, and that the collection will be such as to enable the managers of the various schools to extend and advance tbe great object in which they are engaged. VISIT OF PACHA TO LIVERPOOL About half-past ten o'clock on Friday night, this illustri ous personage arrived in Liverpool by train from 111:inches ter, and immediately proceeded to the Adelphi Hotel apartments had been ordered for himself and suite on Saturday morning he enjoyed his favourite hookah for about half an hour at one of the windows facing Mount pleasant, and breakfasted about 7 ; after which he started in an open landau, wigs two horses and postilion, to the Brunswick Dock, accompanied by Nabar Effendi, his in terpreter, Colonel Bonfort, and Major Dickson. After inspecting the graving docks and the Brunswick D icic, his highness alighted and went on board a vessel lying there, the Greenock, with whose appearance and condi tion he seemed much pleased. He drove next to the Coburg Dock, and viewed, but did not beard, the American steamers, although, we believe, incited. the Cambria and Hibernia. He next inspected minutely the Albert Dock Warehouses, &c. After looking at the Graving Docks, at their southern end, be walked on to George's Pier, whence he took the view of the river. He was then driven along the east side of the Prince's, Waterloo, Victoria, Trafalgar and Clarence Docks. and thence to the New Dock Works at the north end of the town, where he was met by Mr. Ilartley, the Dock Sur veyor, who pointed out every object and project of inter est in that part of the town. On his return he was received in the Waterloo road by the Mayor and the Chairman of the Dock Committee. Mr. Bramley Moore, in the state carriage, by whom he was accompanied into town, proceeding along Cha pel-street, Rumford-street, Castle-street, Lord -street, Church-street and Ranelagh-street to the Adelphi, where he took luncheon and again inhaled his Hookah, It may appear singular, without some explanation, why his Worship the Mayor, and the Chairman of the Dock Committee, did not accompany the Pacha in the whole of the route. The fact is, that they made arrangements to do so, and errived at the Adelphi for the purpose. where they found Major Dickson, whom his highness, in his haste to gratify his curiosity, had declined to have disturbed. On finding that the bird had flown, they set out in search of him, and met him as above described. The object of his highness appeared to be, exclusively, to inspect the docks, their working, &c., and to carry home with him anyinformazion which he could turn to the practical advan tage of his people. The public buildings of the town he had no curiosity to see; and, although on his return to the Adel phi, he was waited uponby adeputation from the East India and China Association, beaded by the Deputy-Chairman, Mr. Thomas Sands, by whom he was induced to visit the Town Hall, where he seated himself in the Council Chamber, the uses of which were explained to him by the Mayor, and went through the ball-room, &o.; he refused to go on 'Change, pleading his incognito character and the strictly private object of hie visit. After returning to his Hotel, and partaking of dinner, the Pacha proceeded with his suite at half-past seven o'clock to the Clarence Dock, from which they embarked for Belfast. His Highness's purpose is to examine the process of the flax and linen manufacture. He intends also visiting Leeds for the same purpose, previous to his return to London. His Highness, we understand, is very free in his man ner, with nothing of the courtier in his demeanour, although dignified and most striking to the observer. We believe be expressed himself in high terms of gratification with his visit, and with the mode in which he had been received. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL, TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, think it high time that one universal protest should be made against the " Judges' Lodgings" twine deemed a fit residence for the Prince Consort ; more ineli gible premises could not have been selected for the Impose as to locality, which has, of late, deteriorated in respecia bility to such an extent that its selection is a positive insult to his Royal Highness. The only building in town pre eminently adapted for his accommodation is our noble Town-hall, which might be forthwith prepared. The Prince would be more appropriately, and, at the same time, more honourably entertained there than elsewhere, for the Town-hall has a palace-like exterior about it, which ought to be a consideration in every thing apper taining to Royalty. While on this subject. Mr. h ditor, an idea has just occurred to me about the Town-hell. I should like it to be called the Mansion-house, and to be come the official residence of the Mayor of Liverpool. Why should not the Mayor have an official residence? Is Liverpool such a second-rate town that it is unworthy of being so distinguished in the person of its Chief Magis trate? Our Corporation can afford to allow the Mayor his state and private carriage. Why not make the allow ance unique, and provide him with a mansion ? I throw out the hint, and hope you will take it up, and that the Corporation will adopt it. I conclude in calling on the authorities to reconsider their decision as to the residence to be provided fur Prince Albert on so august an occasion. I am quite sure the " Judges' Lodgings" ought to be abandoned ; the house, though a good one, has too private a characier about it, and its locale is altogether excep tionable. I am, Sir. yours most respectfully, Liverpool, 22nd July, 1816. T. H SPO HTING 1N TEL Ll G ENtE. BETTING AT NI ANC 11 ESTER.—FRIDAY.

CumirsE UMBRELLAS.—A vessel, called the Larpent, which has arrived at Liverpool, from Shanghae, China, in addition to an extensive cargo of tea, silks, and other productions, has brought 100 umbrellas of Chinese manu facture. So singular an importation is remarkable, not so much for the extent or the value of the articles, as for the novelty of their supply from that distant country. THE "TEAM-SHIP WINDSOR.—In our recent account of this beautiful steamer, we, by mistake, stated that she was to be employed on the station between this port and Waterford, whereas she was destined to run between this port and Belfast. Our statement, we learn, excited some astonishment amongst parties connected with the Water ford Steam Company, who, though they have fine ves sels, are naturally in no hurry to find such a competitor as the Windsor on their line. We should here s'ate— having omitted the fact in our account—that the Windsor is commanded by Captain Davies, formerly of the Ath lone, a gentleman well acquainted with the navigation, and of great urbanity of manners. Ills highness Ibrahim Pacha, whose visit to this town we nonce in another place, embarked in the Windsor, on Saturday night, for Belfast. _ EXTRAORDTNARY SHOT! —The following account from an A mericin officer engiged in the recent battles on the Rio Grande, is highly characeristic of the modesty of the nation :—" At half-past 11 o'clock the enemy opened their batteries, and how awful was the scene; halls fl , w in every direction. and the killed and wounded lay on all 'vids. I was attached to a squadron of dragoons. I felt perfectly cool, and in truth minded it no more than eating break fast. (!) About 20 tnirutes after the commencement of the action, poor Mijor Ringrzold was s►ruck be a six-pound shot, and mortally wounded :he has since d'ed. I had lent him me pistols on going into the fight. The shot struck one holster.'cut it and the p , slol in two pircpc, cut all the flesh off the upper part of the Major's thigh, passed through the shoulders of his horse. cut the other pistol in two, and the flash off the other thigh (I!) He . . fell from his horse andLieutt 7 nant Sherer offered to assist him ; but be amid, ' No, Sir ' • let me stay—go on—you have enough to do—go ahead.' The action lasted about two hours, and the enemy retired." There is only one addl• tion, which could have been made to the narration of this wonderful bullet's exploits. The writer ought to have said. that ultimately, either the gallant major or himself, caught, and held it with their teeth. ERRIFIC THUNDER STORM.—An awful thunder orm clay afternoon, listing with upahated violence fur hours. The thunder cl.ps were appalling, and the rain f e ll i n water-spouts; the electric fluid, of the forked des darting in igneous streams of various colours at minute. Th sider damage he moor near Shap Brek•gate. in Westmoreland, the wife and daughter of Benjamin Orimsdale, a labourer, were gather ing tufts of wool from the fences on Knipe Scar, when the daughter, a fine young woman, was sttnek by the electric fluid and killed on the spot by the side of her mother, who most fortunately escaped destruction, but was slightly injured. A man named Mode, of Hardendale. West moreland. was also struck, and is so much injured that but slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. The family Mr. Thomas Dawson, yeoman, of the village of Stainton, near Prnrith, had a most miraculous escape from instant dr str uction. It appears that a thunder bolt entered the kitchen, and drew the iron crooks out of the ceiling, on which dried hams were hanging ; it then pro ceeded in the direction of the clock. the cage of which it shivered into a hundred pieces. and did other damaLte, but t her , out. none of the inmates, most fortunitety, being injured, they at the time being in another apartment of the houae. In a field near Penrit h. eleven sheep and one lamb, the pr i v f ,ert v of Mr. William Robinson, were killed by the lhAtoing while lying under a tree, which was shivered to splinters. Large trees on the estate of Lord Brougham, at Broug. ham-hall, were struck and shivered, and so were other trees at asthma places• There 1 , 4 little or no doubt that the accounts of numerous other fatal and serious calami ties have yet to come to hand.

LANGTRY, ESQ —lt is our pain rul duty to record the deat h of this venerable gentleman-- one of the olde , t and most resp-c'able inhabitants of this town.

Mr. Langtry was, for many years, well and honourably known, not only to his fellow-townsmen, but to the whole mercantile community of Ulster, as one of the leading merchants of Belfast. He was the first to establish steam communication between this town and other ports ; and, throughout a long r.nd exemplary life, of upwards of eighty years, his active habits and upright character were alike serviceable to the public and creditable to himself. The interment will, we unjersta"d, take place to-morrow morning, at Newtownbreda.—Belfast News Letter of Friday.
