Si rt,—ln reply to your correspondent under the signal of .4 Requisitionist, whose letter appeared in your paper o • e 9th instant, I have in the first place to justify myself for vin;; used the terms he comments upon with respect to the oval of the Powder Magazines. In this I- have done no ore than an act of justice to those for whom I have ac s agent since the year 1815, a period long before the panic ho signed theirequi sition calling a public meeting of the it abitants of Wallasey ever contemplated entering into land speculations in that neighbourhood, and as it became my duty to protect and up hold the rights and interests of my employer s , I assumed the name of Conservator, under which title I will endeavour to main tain the ground I have taken, and endeavour also to show the public, what are the motives which have caused the sudden ap prehensions of the gentlemen who have commenced the agita tion of the " Powder question." All that I have said in reprobation of the intended proceedin g by indictment lam prepared to restate. Th e Powder Maga zine is not more dangerous now than it was before the buildings now supposed to be jeopardised by it were built • they " the speculators" could not have bought their land and hula their houses in ignorance of that danger. And what is now sought to be done ? Why an attempt to remove it, not in the fair, open, honourable, and equitable way of taxing the p roperty which it is alleged the removal oft hese stores will improve, —and therefore I have a right to assume were minus the value,—this will add to them, when they were purchased ;—but to proceed by an indict ment for a nuisance—au attempt to procure a divorce between law and equity—between honesty and justice—for be it remem bered that the indictment resolution does not contain one single word, or syllable of . a word, indicative of an intention to com pensate the owners of the Magazines in case the indictment should be successful. The reasonin gs u p on w hi ch this proceed ing is founded are simply these :—" It sui t s t h e i nterests ot us, the Requisitionists, to remove th e Magazines--ergo, they rou s t b e removed—if we go to Parliament that old-fashioned word coat- PENSATION will find its way into the act, for the Lords at least have some antiquated notions about "the rights of persons,"', and of late they have taken, occasionally, a fancy to particular L STANDARD. wu., words, and have insisted uponsupplying them when accidentally or otherwise omitted—therefore let us try an experimental in dictment, audVo to parliament only as a dernicr resort." if this. were not the animas of their proceedings would they not at once have opened communicatiims with the proprietors of the Maga zines and others interested in that property, and have said to them, " We consider you dangerous neighbours —your removal., would benefit us—at what cost would you remove out of our: way?—if we cam effect a friendly compromise' let us do" so."' The entire absence of any attempt at compromise warrants all that I said in my former letter, and a great deal more. The indictment, 1 have no hesitation in saying, cannot be sustained. And now fin the quantity of gunpowder said to be stored in the Magazines. My wish to place before the public the real extent of the supposed danger induced use to state precisely the quantity of gunpowder the Magazines would hold; the attempted subterfuge in the reply is manifest. That document sets forth, that from twenty to forty thousand casks were deposited therein. In speaking of casks, I have no doubt A Requisitionist meant barrels of 1001 b. each, or, if ho be a matter-of-fact man, why did he not multiply the number of packages by 8, 12, and 16, the packages now much in use, by which it might appear that a larger quantity of gunpowder was deposited there. Id speaking of casks, I mean barrels of 11101 b. each, and will maintain that the average annual consumptio' of barrels, half-barrels, quarters, eighths, twelfths, and sixteenths, collectively, has not exceeded 18,000 barrels for the last twenty years at no one period, and I really believe that inure than 4000 barrels have not been deposited at any one time in the magazine. In reference to my observations respecting the value of the land in the immediate neighbourhood of the stores, I think lam borne out by the facts. They are proved by the increased number of buildings, and if the speculators have shot beyond the mark, is that a good or valid reason why the property in question should be d is t ur b e d ? I h ave as much right to any property I may po ss ess in the Mag az in e s now established as the requisitionists can have to the land they have recently pur chased. - To maintain that right lam prepared to meet them in Parliament or elsewhere; but I 'will not go round with a begging-box to obtain subscriptions, nor will I levy a rate upon the poor householders of Wallasey or Liverpool. I have to state further that I am not a Cheshireman, do not reside near the Magazines, and, as an inhabitant of Liverpool, will resist any attempt to levy a tax upon the town to further a private speculation. _ _ , The cases spoken of in The Mercury may have been ocea-.' sinned by the explosion of gunpowder mills, o r i n th e manu f acture of fireworks. .These are from the dangerous nature of some of the processes of too frequent occurrence; but I know of no instance of the explosion of a magazine by accident, and there fore can see no good reason why we should be disturbed in the peaceable occupation of our property unless some better reasons can be shown than any yet adduced. The scheming Itequibiti should be consistent, and be prepared at least with their Irstruni to effect a radical cure of the evil of which they complain. A floating depot has been pro posed. • Have they duly considered the danger likely to ariso from the steam-boats which would have to pass and repass it every hour, wherever th a t vessel might he moored ? As to the occupation of Hilbro Island, or the saudhills by Hoylake and Leasowe, either would destroy the gunpowder trade of the port, for it would be impossible to ship it, from the danger of approaching, the rocks of Hare or the shoals of Hoylake on a falling tide. The attempt to do so would absolve the underwriter from his liability as a deflation from the voy age. Again; supposing the magazines removed to either of these places, bow long would it b e b e f ore the same danger now feared at Wallasey would he apprehended by som e new specu lators, who might buy l an d and build other houses in or near these places? Were this reform bill carried, what security will be given that it shall be a final measure ! The requisitionists are not, perhaps, aware that the dock laws and town regulations, with respect to gunpowder, are very strict and severe. No gunpowder brought coastwise is per mitted to appyoach the town; no vessel is allowed to take gun- , powder on board within the range of the buoys outside the pier heads under penalties of £5O or £lOO. Nevertheless, the article is charged with dock and town dues, both on importation and exportation. The amount levied.on this article in this man ner exceeds £l5OO per annum; and I question whether the rate payers of Liverpool are now benefitted to that extent by the gentlemen for whose benefit it is modestly proposed to levy a new tax. - . In conclusion, I beg to observe that the signature I address ,you under—my real name and address I inclose for your pri vate knowledge—is, though accidentally assumed, not an inap propriate one; . the one suggested by your correspondent " De structive"_ would be the reverse. He seeking to destroy, Ito maintain property with all its appurtenant rights; hence, I send back the donation which he would bestow on me; and, in doing so, I venture to predict that he will not succeed in gain ing his object; and, moreover, that he has endangered the prospects of his party by raising a doubt in the minds of those who have been influenced by the descriptions of the "splendid scenery" in that neighbourhood, to locate themselves at Lis card and the Red Noses. The idea of danger now started by the proprietors of the soil can only depreciate its value. I um, &c., Liverpool, Oct. 11,1535. CONSERVATIVE. kDVERTISEMENT.] THE POWDER MAGAZINES: TO TIM EDITOR OF' rate LIVERPOOL SEIND/IRD. SIR,—It is with no little surprise I perused a letter in your paper of the 6th ult. upon the subject of the powder magazines, addressed to you under the signature of Conservator. Your impartiality will I ant sure permit me to offer a few ob servations upon your correspondent's letter, siuce he has chosen to animadvert upon the vari ous reso l u ti ons a d opte d at t h e meet ing held in the Egretnont Hotel. Allow me to premises that the establishment,of apowder depot on the Cheshire coast must be considered by every man pos sessed of common sense, prudence, and humanity an admitted nuisance fraught with the most immiuent danker to all the re sidents in its immediate locality, and also to the interests of the town of Liverpool, whose commercial importance and prosperity is daily increasing in an unparalleled degree. The security of life and p ro p er ty generally was the main ob ject kept in view by the members who compot-• that meeting, and the sarcastic censure passed upon them b • ur correspond ent in denominating them "disinterested ay,i ors" is not only uncalled for, and inapplicable to them, but pears to have es caped from him iit a moment of irritation wounded pique. - Conservator remarks in his strenuous - .vocacy for the con tinuance of so dangerous a nuisance th. "builders and' occu piers of houses near the magazines tve voluntarily braved whatever danger they may have •cu ed." The very circum stance of the rapidly increasing o lation i n the neighbour hood, and the continued erection ? new buildings in my opi nion enhances the danger. The ectric fluid-=an evil-dispersed person in a fit of drunkenness r a madman as in the case of York Cathedral—a house or chimney catching fire in the vi cinity, would at once settle the question of removal in a way too melancholy to contemplate upon. That the magazines have existed for upwards of a century and a half without any accident having happened is no reason why such a disaster may not occur at any moment. It is the se curity of the present and the future that is so anxiously sought for in the removal of the powder magazines. Conservator instances the case of the Sarah as evidence that no damage was occasioned by her explosion either to Liverpool or the buildings on the Cheshire coast. At the period te which he refers houses on that coast were indeed "few and far be tween." He does not say what quarter the wind was in at the time of that melancholy event, nor whether there was a light or strong breeze blowing kt the time, a circumstance wnich would have occasioned a considerable difference. Let me remind him of the conflagration of the Liscard Hotel, an .event of a more recent date. Was there no alarm and dread that a chance spark might then have alighted upon the magazines ? As it fortunately happened a miracle alone saved them on that occa sion, otherwise Liverpool and the neighbourhood would have had to lament the disastrous consequence. It is a matter of no moment whether forty thousand or four thousand barrels of powder are deposited in the magazines. The lesser quantity I conceive would occasion a pretty tolerable concussion in case of an explosion, and be anything but agreeable to the feelings of the truly humane. Conservator mentions several places by name where there are public and private stores of powder. It those who live in their vicinity are content to bask quietly in their fancied security, is that any reason why those living in the neighbourhood of the Cheshire magazines should be careless of their lives and pro perty? If Conservator cannot defend the continuance of the nuisance complained of on better grounds than those urged in his letter, his case is indeed "lame, weak, and unprofitable." From his allusion to remuneration one would imagine he had some dormant interest in view. But I suspect that if any such 'remuneration is clue to any one, the corporation alone are the parties to whom it should be paid. They will lie put to the whole and sole expense of removing the magazines, and finding a more eligible site. I could wish to know whether Conservator ever remunerates the domestic servanti, lie discharges. The corporation surely have a right to discharge their hired servants without compensating them. If Conservator asserts the right in the case he states, he must admit it in the other. Such a doc trine would, I take it, be rather inconvenient —compensation of late has been the fashion, and every one is ready enough to fol low in its train. ' In my opinion the disinterested ayetators have to deal with the corporation of Liverpool alone as principals, and it will be for them to determine upon the most eligible plan of removing the magazines since once the public have evinced their sense of the danger. The well known liberality of the corporation of Li verpool will, I am convinced in this instance, be anxious to gra tify the expressed wish of the public by removing the object of complaint without allowing any petty private interests to pre vail-against a general punt good by so doing they will reap their reward in the gratitude of a discerning public. I shall conclude with a couplet from an old admired poet, in whose sentiments I perfectly agree:— " I put no private man's ambition With public good in competition." I remain yours. &e. &c.; HUMAN ITA S. October 12, 1835. . . '^`*:.4.116k14 Amount received from Messrs. Wm. and Jas.

We have made arrangements for giving, in our next number, on FRIDAY, a circumstantial detail of the proceedings, and a fall Report of the Speeches at the annual meeting of the SOUTH LANCASHIRE CO2VSE RVATIVE ASSOCIATION, in the New Hall, at Newton, on Thursday next.—Country orders should be sent on the day previouy to publication. f c "it ibcrpopt g"tantiarb. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 13, 1835. The cases of dissenting ministers claiming to vote in respect of the salaries derived froth their officepossess some very peculiar features to which we desire to call the attention of those who, without inquiry into the cir cumstances • under which their cases were decided, have been led to believe, by the report of the proceedings in the revising courts, that a right was possessed by these persons, to exercise the elective franchise. We believe that this idea is entirely a misconception. In many cases undoubtedly their claims to be registered have been allowed ; not, however, because their offices were proved to be for life, or their property freehold, or their salary secure, but because with that singular tact for which they have distinguished themselves, they have sworn precisely up to the mark required. Our readers are doubtless aware that unless an ap pointment to an office be for life, any salary due to the officer, though arising out .of freehold property, would not confer the elective franchise; but the law will pre sume an appointMent to be made 'for life when no evi dence appears to the contrary,.and when precedent and general proofs of the conviction of the truth •of the pre sumption by the nominators to the office can be shown in the absence of express written stipulations at the commencement of the servitude. Perhaps well aware of this, or charity will compel us to say fortunately igno rant of the exact piece of information which would de prive them of their vote, the dissenting clergy have appeared before the revising barristers to claim -a vote in respect of a freehold office, and upon examination have one and all declared that they believed themselves to he appointed " quam diet se bone gesserit," during good behaviour, which, in the absence of farther evidence, afforded ground for the presumption that there was a general appointment for life. But by some singular good fortune these gentry managed unanimously to stop at this point, and despite appeals to their candour, and vigorous cross-examination, protested that they knew not that the congregation, or the conference, or the committee, or the trustees, could .diSpense with their services when and how they pleased, whenever no express stipulations existed to the contrary ; not are we exceeding the limits oftruth when we state that in nine teen cases out of twenty no such stipulation or condition does exist to fetter and restrain the caprice of the " flock" of these very fortunate voters: In the case of the Rev. JOIIN KELLY, of this town, one of the barristers allowed the claimant to register : subsequently came forth a goodly collection of trustees to claim also as the' possessors of the freehold chapel'—a deed was produced, and lo ! the first 'paragraph the barrister read was a power to the trustees to turn off their pastor at any mo ment they might think proper, and for any reason they might think fit. But the Rev. JOHN KELLY had prcqi ously sworn sufficient to induce the barrister to believe he had an office for life, or at any rate might not at dis• cretion be made the victim of " voluntary" caprice. Mr. KELLY'S name of course was immediately erased from the register, but many ministers were more fortu nate, for their trustees appeared before other judges than Mr. GREENWOOD, who alone demanded impera tively the production of trust deeds. Another means by which sundry trustees and minis ters obtained their franchise was by refusing to answer the question whether their deeds were enrolled ! and moreover some of the barristers, with a liberality exces sively singular, stated they would presume all necessary forms were complied with. We might proceed to unveil to our readers, the whole, course of chicanery by which trustees sought to delude, and dissenting ministers to deceive; but enough has been said to show alike the means whereby a franchise was procured, and the pliancy with which by a majority of the barristers it was conferred. Such conduct we assure the dissenting congregations is not in keeping with their professions, and it is not consistent with the practice of many of those whom in former times their fathers followed in faith. A DODDRIDGE, a WESLEY, a FLETCF!ER of Madely, a ROBERT HALL, were not men to prefer privilege to reputation, or to endeavour to procure by deception that which candour would not ob. rain. 'Doubtless there are many' even in the present day ming the sectarians who are worthy fullowerS of! t' TOnER 13. I 836, the men we Inive mentioned, but among the number i bt undegenerate descendants chapel trustees upon the re gister of voters, and dissenting ministers in blissful ig norance of the tenure of their`offices, will not assuredly be reckoned. • Previously to the registration considerable intert was excited on the subject of the claims made by trustees of dissenting chapels to vote in respect of the value of the property over whioit-Atey profess to have eon" trol. The decisions have been very conflicting en the subject, but in many instances these gentry have been allowed to register by means neither creditable to them or their judges. Mr. GREENWOOD, who throughout the revising circuit has treated them with becoming spirits has uniformly refused to allow their claims, unless they produced the deeds under which they acted. That gen tleman publicly declared in, open court, at .I‘lanchesteri that there was no single case of chapel trustees which came before him in which an attempt was not made td practise on his credulity by fraudulent and false repre sentations; and that in one instance, at Ashton-unddr- Lyne, an individual who had protested that he knew mit any specific trust in the deed which he had signed, and that he had never seen it, actually pulled it out of his pocket upon being informed that he would not be . allowed to vote unless he produced it ! Now, when one revising barrister declares that his experience of the conduct of, dissenting trustees has rendered the utmcst caution and suspicion necessary, our readers will be surprised to hear that in every other case his colleagues have taken the statements of trustees before them without further in' quiry —declining to see their deeds —and refusing to bear testimony calculated to throw doubt on their assertions. Yet this is the fact. Mr. ABRAII:ILL, Mr. BLANSHARVI and Mr. IfErwoon allowed-the claims of some calvinistie methodist trustees without looking to deed: or .document —although when the case of a chapel trustee came before Mr. GREENWOOD, it appeared that over the funds the claimants had not direct or indirect control—that they were mere naked passive trustees ! The refusal of tiles! , gentlemen to alter .their decision when these facts ap peared was grounded on the idea that it would be unfair to strike out persons who were absent from the court, and who had understood their cases had been decided. S° that the man who was honest and produced his deed IYSS struck off the register, while his colleagues triumphed in the success of their deception! A premium, in fact, has, throughout the circuit, been given by all the barristers but Mr. GREENWOOD to these political dissenters, WIIP have lately discovered that the fact of signing a trust deed confers a privilege supposed to be enjoyed only by those who possess a certain specific stake in the country ! It is true that even in the courts of these favourt.rs of dissenting trustee voters, many such claimants have been disappointed in their attempt to obtain the franchise, this result has ensued from the facts which cross-examina tions by the conservative agents have elicited with regard to the extent of the mortgages and charges affecting the property for which these ridiculous claims, are made' Nevertheless too many of these newly..inverited faggot votes have been crowded upon tile tegiket; and it will be necessary for the conservatives, in self-defence, to meet these pestilent busy ki9dies'on their own ground. Maul chapels of. the esltiffilshed church exist in South Law cashire which might be conveyed to a large number of pri;ate trustees, in order to enable individuals otherwiSe unpossessed of a freehold to vote for the county, and we doubt not that by proper arrangements and good manage ment sufficient votes would be created to cause the dis senters to regret they ever set so bad an example.. The legislature undoubtedly ought to interfere on the subject ; but constituted as the House of Commons at pre sent is, it is not to be expected that any energetic effort will be made to restrain the pr ac ti ce w hil e it s operatic' is, to confer on the supporter s of d es t ruc ti ve p r i nc ipl e s an increased number of active voters. In self. defence, there fore, we call upon the conservatives to meet the radical 9 on their own ground, but at the same time not to lessen their opposition to the claims of dissenting trustees, as the next year's revising barristers may see fit to alter the decisions on this subject; and though the alteration of the present determination would then operate to disfran chise alike trustees of dissenting and episeopalian cha pels, yet such a consummation is much to be wished as •systein is radically bad—should it, hoWever, continue and increase from the multiplication of such voters by the re-conveyance of chapels to more trustees, and by under hand arrangements of transferring mortgages into per onal engagements, the origin of the evil will be kpow a ' and to the dissenters will be attributed a state of things so inconsistent with th e i r d octr i nes a nd profess i ons. of christian humility and contempt of worldly privilege. One chance alone remains for the whig party, and we think they are beginning to be conscious of the fac t ' They have gone so far with the present imbecile admi nistration, and the administration ha - ve gone so far wit° O'CONNELL, that both have an exceedingly difficult gam e to play; and yet the whigs have no alternative but either to desert the government or allow themselves to be dragged into ruin and infamy by the Irish demagogue. We have seen this for some time. The aristocratic whigs, long before the end of the session, evinced many symptoms of uneasiness at the dominancy which DANIEL had obtained over the ministry. Some of theth. were silly enough t ° believe the declarations put forth by Lord MELBOURNE , but the great majority, nursing their sorrow and alas" in silence, waited the termination of th e sess i on i n Pill' 'furl suspense. It was this, the best portion of the whig s ' wlio compelled Lord MELuourterE to eat his words and retract all his threats upon the amended municipal bill-- who obliged the commons to vote the supplies—and made Lord JOHN RUSSELL submit to those alterations ill the measure which he and others had repeatedly declared were destructive of its fundamental principles. The session being closed, the whigs imagined that the calm of the recess would dissipate the fears which tbe fraternization of once opposing sections had exc itedi They could no t h ave conce i ve d t h at any governmen t °f which the leaders were would .form any real cod' i lition with su c h u man as O'CONNELL. They treat the charge as the political clap-trap of the passing hour- - ; as a bugbear set up to startle the timid—and they believed that the agitator having helped to carry them through the session, would, like all the base tools of the whig s / he spurned, cut, rejected, and kicked into prison or oblivion. What was their surprise then when they sal' DANIEL careering i n th e m iddl e an d nort h ern di st ri c ts °` e our island as a missionary of agitation—hired or per witted by the whig administration to rouse, not the peo ple of England against th e t or i es , b ut t h e very dregs the people against the House of Lords—calling upon congenial ruffians to tear the corone t s f rom tile brows °f, tile Duke of NORFOLK and the Duke of WELLINGTON' the Duke of BEDFORD and the Duke of NEWCASTLE, th e Earl FITZWILLIAM and the Earl of LONSDALE ? Not S single peer would O'CONNELL vouchsafe to spare. `r ile " Death's-head" was to be placed over the King's art° in front of the throne, and " cross-bones" were to b e hung upon the shield of every noble family in Great Bri" tain. No favour was to be, shown to any of the heredi: tary allies of his Majesty's ministers. Lord Grin' and Lord SPENCER, Lord LANSDOWNE and Lord MELeoulolE 4 were equally denounced. Tile whig aristocracy .we re filled with horror at this ferocious attack upon their order by a man who was'said to be th e p r i nc i pa l supporter of the present administration. If DANIEL had been unsuP" ported in this attack by any but an out-door Irish rabble they might not have treated th e matter so ser i ous ly. a°d 3 they probably could have be en i n d uce d to b e li eve that l was in reality nothing more than a culpable attempt en the part of an insolent beggar to extort money from th e Irish Roman Catholic population of England. But theY could not press even this consolation into their servic e ; They saw that the whole revo l ut i onary p h a l anx o f til metropolis—the HUMES, GROTES, WAKLEYS, WHALLEY S i and at least twenty or thirty mem b ers o f t h e House Commons, exclusive of the tail, joined O'CONNELL. ti the assault.
