PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS. j PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs ei • particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to his ithilroved Preparation of the very justly cele brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer tharbanything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS iS pe culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac curacy ; and though numbers of people uoacquainted with the business, and others, have of late yearigattempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to ibe spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. Prepared and sold only by Joww PRIEST LEY, No. 52, Lord-street, where also may be had Seidlitz Powders in Packets. PIANO FORTE AND SINGING TAUGHT. in AArR. E. L.

It has been observed that the - Soda Water, when kept in jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ; and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the public.—Sold in Boxes, at Is. 6d. each FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this p.-eparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advautages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopceias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &it trop: the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous i►nitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation. PRIESTLEY'S FLUID MAGNESIA. A pure transparent solution, in which all the virtues of that admirable Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid and Cooling Medicine, for grown persons or children it can not be surpassed, and being nearly tasteless, children will take it without trouble. In conjunction with the Syrup of Citron it forms an effervescing draught. The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le manade. and as a refreshing drink in summer nothing can be moraagreezble. PRIESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILLS.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH, PIXED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR LIGATURES. SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED, LOOSE TEETH FASTENED. And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoraturn. Mona. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened Establishments permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, Liverpool, (eight doors from Berry-street,) and No. 52, GORGE-STREET, Manchester. They continue to fill up the cavities of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and it is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. _ - Mons. Li DRAY begs to introduce to the notice of his Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and can with confidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mas tication and Articulation, and defy detection from the closest observer. They never change colour or break, as those now used, are fixed without wires or ligatures, and have no un pleasant odour or unnatural gloss. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will give support and preserve Teeth that are loose, at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth .. £o 10 0 A complete Set 5 5 0 A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the hut style, with fine gold sockets, usuhlly Charged 40 guineas Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied. Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth, and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays trom Nine till Two. Var For the convenience of country patients. Monsieur LE DRAY and Co. are enabled to fix a partial or complete set of Teeth at one sitting, without he least pain or incon venience. 6, §EEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL, AND 52, GEORG STREET, MANCHESTER. BULLOCK'S CAMPHOR TOOTH PASTE. THIS beautiful preparation has been established upwards of eleven years. Tte distinguished patronage which it has received from families of distinction ever since its intro duction to the public is alone sufficient to stamp its merits.

Mr. COCKLE, SURGEON, has much pleasure in laying be fore his Friends and the Public, Mr. ABERNETHY'S ESTI MATION of his Antihilious Pills, extracted from a Letter which that gentleman add resse d t o him in the year 1824 : " I have ordered the use of your Antibilious Pills in affec tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derangement of the functions of that important organ, and connected with a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause, chiefly, may be attributed the various diseases of the body, both local and constitutional.) and I have thus had frequent opportu nities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs, without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a most ex cellent family aperient medicine, which may be taken at all times with perfect safety." They are prepared by Mr. JAMES COCKLE, Surgeon Extraordinary to her Serene Highness the late Landgravine of Hesse Homberg, and may he had of all respectable Medi cine Venders, in boxes at ls. 11d., 2s. 9d., and is. 6d. 18, New Ormond-street, Bedford-rote, London. Richard I. had a cloak made at enormous cost, with pre cious and shining metals inlaid in imitation of the heavenly bodies ; and Henry V. wore, on a very memorable occasion, when Prince of Wales, a mantle or gown of rich blue satin, full of small eyelet-holes, as thickly as they could be put, and a needle hanging by a silk thread from every hole. vEsuvius.—fdobelieve the crater of a volcano the most fearfully grand of earthly sights. Yon recollect the lines where Manfred, standini, on the edge of an Alpine precipice, says— " The mists boil up around the glaciers ; clouds Rise curling fast beneath me, white and sulphury, Like foam from the roused ocean of deep bell." Splendid as these lines are, they embody . nothing but an image ; it i s on l y b y an effort of the poet's genius that the mountain mists, and all the stern a n d t err ibl e s ce ne ry around, are identified with the still more terrible conception of the prison house of fallen spirits. But here, I may almost say, we see the thing itself. The glimmering flames, the blasted desolation all around, the " burning marle " beneath our feet, and " torrid climes " smitinc , sorely upon us—all, even to the dense sulphurous clouds and' smell of brimstone, are here combined to stir the mi n d w i th vivid impressions of the half-forgotten stories of our early days, and stimulate the imagination into a sort of half-belief that hell lies open at our feet. Reason, indeed, rejects the tale of a fiery dungeon, and all the machinery of physical torture which credulous ages have built on a few vague and allegorical expressions ; is s uffi e but let reason doubt as it ma y , the mind ca n never w h o ll y Somethingithnet to give unatural roalf shake off the beliefs and fears of its early years ; and that sort of half-belief still clings to it which alull supernatural scope to th a e we workingsof blends wtiht aand heightens imagination. sublimity of the scene, and works the wind t o a pitch of ex citement beyond anything it could h ave experien ce d from th e simple unaided impressions of the out d SCDB(I . -..- Mojithjy Chronicle, Elm Rtherpool &tannt'D. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1840. By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship, Lieut. Hosken, R. N., we have received New York papers to the 10th instant, inclusive. The Great Western sailed from New York on the afternoon of the 10th, and arrived in Kingroad, Bristol, on the morning of Saturday last, (the 24th,) having accomplished the passage in 13 days and 15 hours. She brought 95 passengers, a very full number, considering the season of the year. The principal news from the United States relates to the approaching Presidential election. According to every probability Geocral Harrison will be elected to that office. As a consequence of his election the es tablishment of a national bank is confidently predict ed. Our facetious friend of the Morning Herald also enumerates the following as among the contingencies which will depend upon the success of the General : " The old United States Bank will never recover her reputation—Mr. Webster or Mr. Clay will take the succession—the country will pass through another pe riod of speculation—another crisis—another revul sion—and the science of political economy will be be nefited by these experiments on the currency and on commerce. Probably in 1843 or 1844, the next grand explosion may take place." Mr. Webster was particularly active in his exertions for the return of General Harrison. With this view, he had been journeying from one town to another, and delivering addresses to the " citizens," in which he set forth, in glowing terms, the merits of the favourite candidate. The Herald furnishes us with a flaming de scription of one of " the conventions of the people," at which these speeches were delivered, which was held at Richmond. The commercial intelligence from New York is ex tremely meagre. On the 9th instant there was an in creased demand of bills for the Great Western. The quotations on England were S to 9 per cent. premium. The amount of bills sold was not large. The packet carried out 240,000 dollars in specie. In stocks there was more business doing, though prices had generally declined. United States Bank fell off '1- per cent. ; North American Trust and Banking Company + per cent.: Delaware and Hudson 4 per cent. ; Farmers' Trust - per cent. ; Harlem / per cent. Money con tinued plentiful, and the value of most southern secu rities, as well as state stocks, was improving, under the demand for investment. There is little news of importance from Canada. Several acts of incendiarism had been recently com mitted along the borders, but the New York papers state that no suspicion rested on Americans as the authors of the villanies, and that there was generally a good understanding between the inhabitants on the different sides of the line. Chaplain A. Talcott, with a party of surveyors, had left Canaan, Vermont, for the head-quarters of Con necticut river, for the purpose of tracing the sources of the Magalloway river. The party were then to pro ceed along the dividing highlands to the Kennebec road. Another party, under Professor Renwick, had proceeded to the Restigouche bay, from whence they were to trace the highlands, agreeably to the treaty, in the direction of the Kennebec road. A third party, under Major Graham, was employed in running the meridian line for Mars' hill. There is not much news from Mexico. Since th receipt of previous advices no material change had taken place in the aspect of affairs in the capital. The government appeared to be mainly engaged in strength ening their position, drawing around them loyal troops, and searching out and arresting persons known or suspected to have been engaged in the late demonstra tion against the centralists_ The revolutionary spirit appeared to be quieted for the present. The prevail ing calm, however, was considered as the prelude to an approaching tempest. The name of Santa Anna was not mentioned. His is not a spirit to remain in active in the tumult of revolution. The Texian fleet was off the mouth of the river Bravo on the Ist of September, but no attack had been made at any point. Strong apprehensions were entertained at Matamoras of a descent, either there, or at some other accessible port. A letter; dated Matamoras, Sept. 1, says that a detachment from Arista's army was on the opposite side of the river on the previous night. This sudden countermarch was owing to the expected attack of the Texian forces by sea. Intelligence, to this effect, had been immediately made known to the General by express. We have received our files of the Jamaica papers to the 3d. ultimo. They contain very little news of im portance. A society had been formed in the island, for the purpose of co-operating with the West India Immigration scciety, recently organised in England, and the most beneficial results were likely to follow from the operations of the Jamaica branch. The fol lowing extract from the Royal Gazette is the only article for which we can find room in our present publication : THE SILK CO mPA NI Es.—The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. Whitmarsh, to a house in this city : " From my examination of the South and South- Western States, I prefer Jamaica for the culture of silk ; and shall make diligent preparation to be with you in the autumn. I have a steam engine in readi ness, with fixtures for a saw-mill, and shingle mill, and other machinery to be set in motion in a few days after their arrival. I shall leave with Mrs. Whitmarsh about the Ist of September, for Kingston. The machinery and families will be about six weeks later, and will sail for St. Ann's It will be perceived that I have begun at the foundation, and engaged several families of active, steady, temperance whites, to commence what I intend as a pattern village of industry, and to show what can be done for this beautiful island, which needs but a spirit of enterprise, to raise it far above its best days. I will not promise too much, but endeavour, with your co-operation, to carry out the plans, which I will make known in detail when I shall have the pleasure of meet ing you in Kingston. I have white and black families engaged, and shall have more to follow when I have all things prepared for their reception. So great is my faith in the full success of the enterprise, and of its importance to the island, as well as the individuals concerned, that I will very much enlarge upon my first plans, without enlarging the capital. I might have returned sooner, and made some stir about the matter, but was well aware of what must be done to ensure success. I shall leave nothing undone that all former and present experience may suggest, and I doubt not of ample success." The foreign news since our last is of the highest im portance. The abdication of the Queen of Spain, in consequence of the difficulties of her position, has been fully confirmed. But the most important event that has transpired has been the resignation of M. Thiers and his ministry, and the consequent summoning, by the King of the French, of the leading conservatives of that country, to form a new administration. The Lon don Times of Saturday furnishes us with a list of the members of the new ministry. If this list can be re lied upon, we have very little hesitation in saying that the question of war or peace will be very speedily solved, as the leading members of the new ministry are known to entertain feelings of the most friendly nature towards this country. It is said that the ministry will comprise the following :—Marshal Soult, M. Guizot, M. Duchatel, Admiral Duperre, M. Teste, M. Martin, (du Nord,) M. Dufaure, M. Cunin Gridaine, M. Ville main, and M. Massy. In the composition of the new ministry we find an ample guarantee for the preservation of the peace of Europe. This is a consummation which cannot but prove highly acceptable to the mercantile interests of Great Britain, whom we have every reason to congra tulate upon the change. It is impossible to predict the effect which the resig nation of M. Thiers and his associates will produce upon the French nation generally. Our volatile neigh bours are so much the slaves of impulse that it would he highly imprudent to speculate upon the subject. Of this, however, we feel certain, that the principal Euro pean governments, interested in the settlement of the Eastern Question, will hail the downfall of M. Thiers as the harbinger of peace. The struggle for ascendancy in our municipal coun cil has commenced in right earnest. Candidates are already engaged in an active canvass in each of the wards. The radicals have, at length, found one for West Derby ward, in the person of Mr. Laurence Hey worth, jun. While the preparations for the approach ing contest are going on, we would particularly urge upon the attention of our conservative friends the necessity of untiring vigilance and perseverance. Let them ponder over the " word in season," which one Cf our correspondents has thought it his duty to place before them. Over-confidence will prove the most fatal error into which the conservative electors can fall. They ought not to give way to this feeling until they have placed the conservative candidate in each ward in such a position on the poll that his return will be a matter of complete certainty. Amongst the many cheering displays of Protestant and Conservative feeling, of which our good old town has lately been the universal scene, the proceedings of Thursday last are worthy of, and we doubt not wil occupy, a prominent position in the memory of the present generation. A calm, a dignified and decorous loyalty, a beneficent and christian spirit united in beau tiful propriety, with the fearless and uncompromising expression of sound Protestant truth, were the charac teristics of that day's proceedings ; and when we look around us and contrast with them the furious ravings which distinguish the gatherings of whig-radicalism in our own land—or the frenzied, restless and reckless outbursts which attend every expression of popular Opinion in other lands, we must confess that we are proud both of the party and of the country to which we belong. . _ _ It is not, however, merely the indulgence of this feel ing of just pride which induces us to recur to a subject in itself so gratifying. The Protestant inhabitants of Liverpool need no finger of ours to point to a page which is destined to be so memorable in the history of their town. Our object has a wider range and a higher purpose. It is to excite and to fasten the attention, not only of our fellow-townsmen, but of our fellow countrymen at large, upon the relative position of the two great parties in the state—the Whig-radical and conservative parties ;—and to enable them to deter mine in which of those parties the permanent interests, the peace and the security of Great Britain centre at the present crisis. If we look abroad amongst the kingdoms of civilized Europe, we cannot but be struck with the unsettled and menacing picture which everywhere presents itself. Russia, to the Eastward, intriguing, ambitious, and un principled, already counts as her own the dominions of the Sultan ; and only waits her time to plant the eagle upon the turrets of Constantinople. Her agents, subtle and daring, are in every court and her gold is sapping the foundations of every throne which has constitutional liberty for its basis. Austria and Prussia,—sluggish and inert—sleep upon a smouldering volcano ; whilst the states of Germany, with Hanover and Belgium are ready to crumble in pieces at the sound of the first cannon which breaks their present uneasy and deceit ful repose. In western Europe, Spain and Portugal are in a state of frightful and bloody anarchy, alter nately the prey of their revolutionary and absolutist factions. ' I In both these wretched lands, a licentious soldiery, bloated with plunder, hold in their ruffian hands the sway of Government and the lives of their feeble monarchs; whilst an equally licentious priest hood fills up with its extortions the full measure of suffering meted out for their outcast and degraded population. In the centre of all this mass, of combus tion,—through which popery is busily laying the train whose explosion is to light her, a midst ruin and desol ation, to a renewal of the empire,—the restless spirit of infidel France, crushed and bruised but not extinguish ed, is struggling still with the dream of rapine and universal conquest which during the close of the last and the beginning of the present centuries brought down upon her so bloody and so fearful a — retribution. The fierce passions of her democracy are daily lashing themselves into more dangerous excitement ; their wild longing for blood, —unappeased by the oceans which were shed in the fields of Portugal and Spain, of Quatre Bras and Waterloo,—is equalled only by the deep and demoniac hatred with which they regard the hands by which those longings were for a time subdued. War—war—at any price and in any cause is the cry of millions of h er w ild an d sa vage populace—of her republican and unprincipled politicians. War with Europe, with all the world ; but, first and last,—and above all—War with Great Britain ! Such is the picture,—when stript of the disguises so eagerly sought to be thrown ever it,—which the prezent aspect of Europe presents to our contemplation. We may be flattered by the hope that its horrors will not at present be realized. We may be told that the government of France has no sympathy with this hatred of England—that the educated classes in France have no sympathy with this impatience of settled insti tutions. But we must maintain that the government of France is a thread which the occurrence of an hour may snap asunder ; that the educated classes of France can no more restrain their democracy, than a rope of flax can bind up and hold together a burning mass. Nay, so precarious is the tenure by which the peace of Europe is even now maintained,--so far at least, as it depends upon France,—that, at the moment in which we write, we know not that that tenure may not already be broken, and republican institutions erected in that country, by the sacrifice and upon the blood of the Bourbon dynasty. To what party then, must the eyes not only of Great Britain, but of the whole civilized world, be turned for succour at such a crisis ? Upon whom must we call to stay the fierce torrent of democracy which threatens to deluge with blood and to desolate Europe ? To the whip•radical party shall we turn—whose right arm is infidelity and whose left arm is popery ? Shall we call upon those who are seeking daily to engraft a bigoted and ignorant democracy upon the constitution of Great Britain—who are labouring daily to destroy the key stone of that constitution, our Protestant church—who are striving daily to promote the spread of education without religion, and science without christianity— those elements which constitute republican society in France and throughout Europe ? To do this would be to prove ourselves fools and madmen. We have a nobler stay and a higher refuge. Yes—it is a proud thing for Englishmen that in their hour of need—when universal anarchy tramples upon the rest of Europe, prostrates her thrones, and outrages her altars—they have still a power within their own land upon which to fall back and to repose their trust—a source of pure, conservative, Protestant strength which has never yet failed them, and whilst the entireness of their glorious constitution is preserved, in church and state, never will fail them. To such a party and to such a source of strength it is that England will look in the hour of danger ; and by such a party alone can that danger be driven from her shores. We seek not again to embark as comba tants upon the battle field of Europe. We know that at the present moment the regards of the wise and the good are directed towards that party; and that every movement of conservative Protestantism in England is the source of hope and confidence to our patriotic fel low-countrymen and of dismay to the enemies of or der and peace throughout the world. We know that the proceedings of last week have already cheered and inspirited thousands of loyal British hearts; and, knowing all this, we call earnestly upon our townsmen to go on and persevere in their noble demonstrations. To one object, however, we feel that it is becoming daily more important that the efforts of Protestantism should be directed. We have already a Protestant nobility; we have already a Protestant gentry and a Protestant yeomanry; and we are rapidly creating that strongest of all bulwarks, a Protestant democracy. Let our next effort be to surround the throne of our gracious Sovereign and the noble institutions of our country with a sound Protestant government. The time has now come when, on this subject, the Protes tant conservatives of Great Britain must speak out boldly and loudly; and the time has come too when their voice must and will be heard. The Albion of yesterday publishes a grossly inaccu rate statement of the result of the revision of voters on the parliamentary list far this borough, giving, as might be expected, a decided majority to the radicals, both on the claims and on the objections. The following may be relied upon as an accurate return : Conservative objections made 1740 Ditto sustained.. Withdrawn and allowed 1740 Radical objections made Ditto sustained Withdrawn and allowed . 867 - 1601 From this statement it will appear that the conserva tives have gained by the revision to the extent of 95 votes. The good cause is steadily progressing, in spite of all the machinations of the Protector Society. We have received our files of the Guiana Times and of the Guiana Chronicle to the 21st of August, inclu sive. The former of these papers gives a very gloomy description of the condition of the colony, which was in a state of uneasiness and anxiety. The season was amazingly favourable, and immigrants were dropping in from the adjacent islands ; but the number was very limited. It was considered suttrising that from North America there was no account, either of immigrants, or of the money sent thither for the purpose of pro curing labourers. All public business is described by the Times as be ing suspended. There were no taxes coming into the chest, and the erection of hospitals for the town, with other works of utility, was retarded by the repeated ad journments of the Court of Policy. We extract the following from the Guiana Chronicle : " We understand that Mr. Ries has returned from his ex cursion to Essequebo, and is highly pleased with his experi mental trip. He has fixed on Cartabo as a site for the town of his new settlement. We must inform the enterprising Mr. Ries, that a town on this site is not a new thing, for a very considerable Spanish town stood on the same spot two centuries ago. However, we wish Mr. Ries every success, and express a hope that he may find that encouragement and support in his undertaking, which will render his project successful. So far as we recollect, from a very short sojourn on the spot, the site for the settlement is very judiciously chosen, it being a prominent spot, commanding a view of the rivers Essequebo, Massarony, and Cayooney." TO OUR READERS. In consequence of the extraordinary demand for our impression of Friday last, we find it impossible to sup ply those distant readers who have forwarded to us orders for copies of that publication. When those orders were received we had not a single copy left out of the very large issue of Friday's STANDARD. — The only way in which' we can render an equivalent for the orders with which we have been favoured is by forwarding copies of our present publication to the dfferent applicants. We cannot allow this opportunity to pass without expressing our grateful acknowledge ments for the handsome manner in which our exertions to provide a full report of Thursday's proceedings were appreciated by the public. We have the plea sure' to reflect that our report has given entire satis faction. LIVERPOOL QUARTER SESSIONS. The general Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the borough of Liverpool commenced yesterday, before JAMES CLARKE, Esq. Recorder, in the Sessions House, Chapel-street. The following gentlemen were sworn upon the grand jury : Henry Ashton, Esq., Foreman. Gaven Brackenbridge Thomas Todd Daniel Campbell William Grace James Gibson Carter Thomas Grundy Charles Holland Joseph Crossley John Jones Henry Moore David Lamb John Holgate Robert M•Andrew Lewin Mozley Edward Moon William H. Robinson. Adam Newman The CLERK OF THE PEACE having read the royal procla mation for the suppression of vice, profaneness, and immo rality, The Learned RECORDER proceeded to deliver the charge to the Grand Jury. He said the great sources of all crime were ably pointed out in the excellent proclamation just read. It was very proper to call in the aid of the police to detect offences against the laws, but if we did not attend to, and remove the fruitful sources of crime mentioned in the proclamation, we were making no progress at all. The calen dar,'he was sorry to say, was extremely heavy ; and to his great regret, he observed, that nearly one third of the crimes for which the parties named in it would have to be tried, were referable to intemperance and to intemperance alone. There fore, whilst we were spreading police all over the country— which was very proper, and which he trusted would be found very useful—let us recollect that that would be a poor break water against vice, and a very weak means for the suppression of crime, unless we adopted the valuable advice of the royal proclamation. The town of Liverpool, he thought, from a public meeting lately held. was of the same opinion, and that religion, and that sobriety and virtue, were the best, and in deed the only effective instrument for the suppression of • crime. It was delusive and nugatory to look to any other; and we .should only defeat ourselves if we adopted merely human means for that end. The learned gentleman con cluded by stating that the Grand Jury would find no difficulty in any of the cases, as they were all of an ordinary descrip tion ; and after promising the assistance of the court, if they should find any difficulty, he dismissed them to their labours. The trials commenced shortly afterwards, but nothing of interest had occurred up to the rising of the court. The calendar contains the names of 120 persons for trial on charges of felony, 9 for misdemeanours and assaults, and one mint case, making a total of 130, the investigation of which we apprehend will occupy the bench the greater part of the week. It appears from an examination of the calendar with refer ence to the amount of education, that there is more ignorance amongst the prisoners now waiting for trial than has been the case for many preceding sessions. Of the 130, there are 78 or considerably more than one half who may be classified under the head of being able to read and write imperfectly. but at least one half of whom cannot write at all. Their ignorance therefore, will be better conceived by the reader than described by us. There are only seven individuals out of the whole number who have the capacity to read and write well ; but the most startling fact is that forty five, or one third of the prisoners have never been taught either to read or to write. Neither the youngest prisoner who is a girl aged 15, nor the oldest who is a man aged 74, have ever learned either one or the other ! Moral principle must necessarily be very low when such destitution as this prevails in the very elements of knowledge.

THE SOUTH LANCASHIRE GRAND CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. On Friday evening last, this splendid festival was held at the Conservative Hall, in Newton, when a great number of the Conservative gentry of the Southern Division of the County were assembled. At three o'clock the railway trains from Manchester, Liverpool, Preston, Wigan, Lancaster. and Bolton, severally brought up their respective additions to the company. A band of music was stationed on the green in front of the Legh Arms Hotel, where the company chiefly congregated until the hour appointed for the opening of the hall. The room presented much the same appearance as usual, being neatly, but not gorgeously, decorated. A number of blue and white flags, the conquering colours of the South Lancashire conservatives, were ranged round the walls; and the banner of the society, the banner of the Liverpool Trades men's Conservative Association, and the royal standard, were displayed in favourable positions. Over the chairman's seat was the blue silk ensign of the society, with the imperial crown in the centre, on the rose, shamrock, and thistle, and the motto, " Queen and Constitution in Church and State." There was also the inscription, " The Conservatives of SoUth Lancashire. May their principles and their numbers grow with their growth and strengthen with their strength." On either side were two small royal standards, each of them bearing the inscription, " Lancashire Election, 1837. The Hon. B. Wilbraham, 7645 ; the Right Hon. Lord F. Eger ton, 7822." The flag of the Liverpool Tradesmen's Conser vative Association, over the principal entrance, exhibited a figure of Britannia, with the motto, " Our Free and Glori• ous Constitution in Church and State, Queen, Lords, and Commons." The magnificient royal standard belonging to the Liverpool shipwrights was placed over the northern en trance, with the motto, " For God, our Queen, and our coun try." A long table ran along the eastern end of the room, and eleven other tables extended in parallel lines to the west ern. All of them were filled about half-past four, when the noble chairman, Lord Sandon, and the other principal guests, entered the room, and were greeted with loud cheering. There were upwards of six hundred gentlemen present. At the centre table we observed the chairman, the Right Hon. Lord Sandon ; to the right, the Right Hon. the Earl of Wilton, Hon. R. B. Wilbraham, M.P., Sir Richard Brooke, Bart., the Hon. and Rev. Horace Powys, John Ireland Blackburne, Esq., M.P., George Cornwall Legh, Esq., Edward Cardwell, Esq., Dixon Robinson, Esq. ; and, to the left, the Right Hon. Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., Sir John Yarde Buller, M.P., John Wilson Patten, Esq., M.P., the Rev. Jonathan Brooks, the Rev. Dr. Molesworth, Cresswell Cresswell, Esq.. M.P., J, Plumbe Tempest, Esq., Thomas Bright Crosse, Esq., Elias Chadwick, Esq. In other parts of the room we noticed Wm. Hulton, jun., Esq., John Clare, Esq., T. Wagstaffe, Esq., John H. Kearsley, Esq., Edward Kearsley, Esq., James Aspinall, Esq., Richd. Dawson, Esq., Geo. H. Lawrence, Esq., A. Smith, Esq., Raymond Houghton, Esq., John Sheppard, Esq., Chris. Bushell, Esq . ., Tinne, Esq., Sir Thomas Brancker, Win. Townend, Esq., J. S. F. Greene, Esq., J. B. Wanklyn, Esq., M. T. Sadler, Esq., R. C. Sharpe, Esq., J. Crossley, Esq., John Waddington, Esq., John Barker, Esq., S. Bar ker, Esq., S. Holme, Esq., E. S. Kearsley, Esq., Thomas Kearsley, Esq., &c., &c. The Rev. JONATHAN BROOKS, A.M., rector of Liverpool, having been called upon by Lord Sandon, asked a blessing in his usual brief but impressive manner. The cloth having been withdrawn, and " Non nobis Do mine" sung by a party of vocalists from Manchester, the important part of the business of the evening commenced. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the first toast, was received with loud and enthusiastic applause. When it had subsided be said—Gentlemen, whether encouraged by the smiles of the court, or put in front of the battle for the crown unaided by the favour of the prerogative, the first toast of every good conservative will ever be the Queen of England. (Loud cheers.) I therefore give as the first toast " The Queen," and may we at least never be called upon, by the fashion of the day, to endeavour to repeal the union which happily exists between her Majesty and the duchy. I give you "The Queen—Duchess of Lancaster." (Three times three, and loud applause.) Song—" God save the Queen." The lines " Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks," were loudly applauded, as usual at these meetings. All the company joined in the chorus. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen, I have next to give you the health of the amiable, accomplished, and excellent young prince, who is the consort of our Queen, and of whom everything we have yet seen gives us reason to hope the highest qualities. (Cheers.) I beg leave to give you " The health of Prince Albert." (Drunk with three times three.) The CHAIRMAN then said—Gentlemen, when I allude to the private virtues and public and private charities of the Queen Dowager, (tremendous cheering,) I am sure I need say nothing more to recommend your attention to the toast I have to propose—" The Queen Dowager, and the rest of the royal family." (Nine times nine and one cheer more.) Glee—" Hail, Star of Brunswick." The CHAlRMAN. — Gentlemen, the next toast I have to propose to you is that of " The Army and Navy." (Hear.) For many a long year their services have made the proposal of that toast no other than an expression of gratitude for the many services we have received at their hands. (Applause.) Song and chorus—" Come if you dare." (Applause.) Major TEMPEST, in returning thanks, said—My lord, I feel confident that when called out against the enemies of their country, the army and navy will support the character they have invariably enjoyed. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen ' I have now to propose for your acceptance a toast which I have no doubt will call forth your warmest gratulations ;-1 mean " Prosperity to the Established Church of England and Ire land." (Great cheers.) The Rev. Dr. MOLESWORTH, vicar of Rochdale, respond ed to the toast, and was received with loud cheers. Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER, M.P., rose to propose the next toast, which was, " Success to the South Lancashire Con servative Association." (Loud and protracted cheering.) Glee—" With a jolly full bottle." WILLIAM HULTON, h.sq., jun., responded to the toast, and was received with very loud cheers. Sir THomAs BRANCEER then, by permission of the chair man, proposed the health of Mr. Hulton, the father of the association. Mr. HULTON, jun., returned thanks. . _ , The CHAIRM AN next rose and said—Gentlemen, I call on you to receive with honour the toast of that branch of the constitution to which we owe that, at this moment, we are enabled to rejoice in a meeting like the present; for if the House of Lords had not stood forward in the hour of danger, to protect the ancient liberties of this country, we should at this moment have been labouring under the yoke of a tyran nical democracy. (Vehement applause.) With these few observations, I call on you to drink prosperity and duration to the House of Lords. (Tremendous cheering.) And you will allow me to give with that body the health of the distin guished nobleman who sits on my right, and who represents that body on this occasion—Lord Wilton.. (Drunk with nine times nine, and one cheer more.) Lord WILTON rose, and the cheering was renewed and con tinued for several minutes. When silence was restored he spoke as follows :—Gentlemen, it is with sentiments of the livliest gratitude that I rise to acknowledge the toast which has been given, and which has met with such unequivocal marks of your favour and consideration, and though I cannot take to myself personally any share in the reception with which this toast has been received, yet I cannot but feeka sense of conscious and becoming pride from the considera tion that I belong to, and that I am a member of that august assembly whose course of conduct has met with the entire — the complete—the unanimous approbation of, an assembly such as the present. After describing the position main tained by the House of Lords during the last ten years, his lordship concluded by observing—Gentlemen, the person, that illustrious man whose health I have been deputed to propose, and to whom I have had occasion to allude in the early part of my address—it is—l need net name him, for it is a name that live in the heart of every Englishman—it is a name that will live in the heart of every. Englishman so long as memory holds its place—it is a name so entirely bound up with every feeling of national honour and national grandeur that we all look up to him, and not only we, but I am con vinced those opposed to him in politics also, for they, as well as ourselves, view him as the incarnation of our country's glory. (Great cheers.) I have to apologise to you for taking up so muck of your time, but I am sure I cannot conclude better than by proposing that health which will be received in the hearts of all who hear me—the Duke of Wellington. (Tremendous cheering for several minutes.) I may be al lowed, I trust, to give the word on this occasion. Are you ready gentlemen? (Vehement cries of " Yes, yes.") Hip, hip, hip, hurrah. (The toast was drunk with nine times nine and one cheer more, which was was followed by the chorus " Fill, fill the cup.") JohN I. BLACKBURNR rose next, and said—Gentlemen, I beg to propose a toast : it is the health of our noble chair man. (Great cheers.) Gentlemen, I shall not pass any en comiums on my noble friend's political life, which it so well deserves. That life has been long before you, and I will leave it to speak for itself, but I need scarcely tell you that, as member for the borough of Liverpool, his friends there duly appreciate his conduct. (" Hear, hear," . and renewed cheers.)—[lt would be impossible to convey an adequate description of the enthusiasm with which the toast was drunk, and the noble lord's name received. Several of the company stood upon their seats and waved their handker chiefs. triumphantly over their heads, while the cheering was most deafening and long-continued.] The CHAIRMAN rose to reply, and his appearance was the signal for renewed applause. He attempted more than once to proceed, but the cheering was so deafening that a syllable could not be heard. At length, when silence was in some degree restored, he said—Gentlemen, I am deeply affected by this instance of your kindness. To a very large portion of this assembly I am a perfect stranger, but to one portion of this assembly indeed, I believe I am not a stranger. [The cheering at this period was as enthusiastical as before, re newed by the conservatives of Liverpool, who sat at the upper end of the room, while it was re-echoed from all the other parts of the building.] I think I may say that I rightly recognise in the cheers from one quarter of the room the same enthusiasm which has cheered me in trials as well as triumphs—for every day of trial was a day of triumph—and which, I believe, are in concert with devout attachment to the throne, the church, and the constitution, with the gene ral feeling of this great country. (Cheers.) I feel that I ought almost to apologize for being here among you. (No, no.) When it was first proposed to me to accept this high and honourable post, I asked myself what right I had to ap pear among the gentlemen of Lancashire ? but when I was • reminded of the position I held in the borough of Liverpool, I thought I might throw into the scale the deep interest that that borough has in the prosperity of the soil and manufac tures of the county, for to the prosperity of none is the bo rough of Liverpool indifferent. (Hear, hear.) I am glad in deed to see that the feeling of conservatism is not slumbering, in the county of Lancaster, and I confess I am not surprised at it, for whether we look abroad or at home, there is nothing around which would induce us to be less attached to our own principles. When we see country after country unsettled and disturbed, and when we see that some of those countries a re paying the penalty of difficulty and intestine commotion, I think we may say that we who have an ancient constitution, combining liberty and order, have no reason to depart from conservative attachments. (Cheers.) But when we look at home, and see what has resulted from the changes we have made in our constitution, however justified they may have been in the opinion of many, and in those changes I have had my share, but when we see those changes have had the effect of creating wild disorder and speculation, and when we see that when we unsettle any part of the framework of society the door is opened for further change ; I confess I do not think that our attachment to that form of the constitution as it now remains is likely to be disturbed. If our attachment to our constitution is not impaired, surely the reasons for our being under arms are not impaired either. (Cheers.) Have we a government in which we can place confidence for the defence of our constitution? Why, confidence applied to the present administration is a mockery. (Hear, hear, and vehement applause.) I certainly know not the man who has confidence in them, except themselves, and I doubt much whether they have confidence in one another. (Hear, and great laughter.) When my hon. friend on my left, Sir John Yarde Buller, brought forward his motion for want of confidence last ses sion, in order to ascertain whether the house had confidence in them, how was he met ? Did they meet it in the way Can ning met a similar motion ? Was he satisfied with a negative ? No; but he appealed to the House of Commons on the sub ject. But did the present administration pursue the same course; or did they dare to ask the house whether they ap proved of their conduct ? No, gentlemen, but they asked for the negative, in which every one might agree, who was not prepared to adopt their successors? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) But who has confidence in them ? Not the House of Peers— not the clergy of the established church—not the magistracy (unless the new magistracy have been moulded to it)—not the landed gentry—not the manufacturing, not the commer cial interests—in short, I know not where or to whom they could apply for confidence. (Hear, hear, and great cheers.) What are they ? When we express confidence we must know in whom we confide. Is it, then, their principles of this year or of last, or of one night or of another, that we are to place confidence in ? Do we know in the approaching session of parliament what shall be the course pursued by hr majestys government on the great questions which agitate the nation ? If any one believes that he understands that course, why is the question so often asked by their own supporters? You do not ask us what we think of the ballot, or universal suf frage ; but it is asked in every radical journal at the commence ment of every session, " Do you think they will give way on such and such questions, or will they barter a little more of the ancient principles of the constitution to keep themselves in place ?" or in that miserable 'position which they call power ? (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Gentlemen, they have no principles at all. (Great cheers.) The only reason why they are supported is, because they have no principle. (Re newed cheers.) Why, their own supporters tell them that they give them their support because they think they are composed of " squeezable materials," and because they think they can make them act at any time on their own principles. How can we have confidence in men so circumstanced ? and I boldly appeal to you for the reply—what confidence ? (Ve hement cries of " None, none," and cheers.) Gentlemen, it is impossible that men of this quality can command the esteem or the confidence of this great empire. (Tremendous cheers.) They may for a little longer carry on their trimming line of poltcy, doing as little mischief as they can ; for I will do them the justice to say, that I believe they do not wish mischief for its own sake, and I farther believe, that in their hearts they are just as good conservatives as ourselves, because they think that the only means of safety is attachment to the mo narchy and attachment to the established church ; but then the misfortune is that they won't act on these views, whereas the true conservative is he who acts firmly on his opinions whenever called on. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) How can we have confidence in men who pervert the magistracy of this country to political purposes of the worst kind, and who daily with him who would dismember the empire ? Why, it is only two years ago since they offered to that man the highest seat on the judicial bench, whose whole life was passed in showing his wretched countrymen how they could break the laws. (Hear, hear.) I have gone more generally on this occasion into the feelings which naturally arise at meetings of this kind than I had intended ; but it is impossible to meet a body collected from every part of this county, so full of wealth, commerce, and manufactures, not governed and swayed by corruption as torie3 are said to be—(a laugh)---but honest men—men able to act in the spirit of their own opi nions, representing the rising prosperity and expanded intel ligence of England, and those who may appeal from Caesar to the multitude, and from the immediate councillors of the crown to the well-ordered judgment of the people. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I thank you most kindly for placing me in the chair, and for the kind manner in which you have drunk my health. The noble lord here resumed his seat amidst the most enthusiastic cheering from all sides, which was followed by the Glee—" Life's a bumper." Colonel TEMPEST proposed the next toast, which was "the health of Sir Robert Peel and the Conservative Members of the House of Commons." (Drank with three times three , ' and one cheer more.) Catch—" Mr. Speaker, though 'tis late."—(Applause.) Sir J. YARDE BULLER responded to the toast. The CHAIRMAN said—lt is not agreeable to speak of gen tlemen in their presence, more especially when those gentle men are connected with oneself, one by very close relation ship, and the other by friendship. But I cannot neglect my duty so far as not to give, amongst a body of conservatives , " The Members for the Southern Division of Lancashire. Enthusiastic cheering.) Lord FRANCIS EGERTON rose to acknowledge the toast, and was greeted with an enthusiastic burst of cheering. He said—My Lord Sandon gentlemen, I know not, gentlemen, how my bon. colleague may construe the language of that cheer which still rings in my ears : he may perhaps assume, and justly too, that it savours of something of gratitude and respect, justly and hardly earned by assiduous, recent, and faithful services. For myself, I will say no more on that topic immediately concerning myself, than this, that it tells me even of something more, of kindness, excuse, indulgence, and consideration for absence arising from circumstances over which I believe you all know I have no control. (Hear,' and cheers.) Gentlemen, that topic I will pursue no further. In rising to address you on this occasion, 1 cannot but com pare it with the former opportunities that I have had of ad dressing you in this room, and on similar occasion, and, gentlemen, I must own, that before I came here I was disposed to expect, to some extent at least, that that com parison might be an unwelcome one for me to state, or for you to listen to. For it was natural to suppose that, having met here on former occasions during great excitement, we might meet, if not with diminished spirit, at least with considerably diminished numbers. lam happy to find, from what I hear and see from authority, that that circumstance is not the case. If it had so turned out, I confess I should have seen no reason for despondency, or scarcely for disappointment. We have not now immediately before us one of those great battles which, as electors of this county, we have called upon to fight. We have not now before us the prospect imme diately of any particular question of peculiarly exciting inte rest, respecting which we have to expect an early and imme diate contest; and on these grounds I own I should neither have felt surprise nor disappointment, if some of those, pos sibly whom I have seen and gladly seen here before, bad been absent on this occasion. 'slut if had felt any despondency of that description, I think a remedy of easy application might have revived my spirits. It was said of a learned and eminent member of the House of Commons, who had devoted the greatest portion of his life to the study of its rules and prac tices and of its journals, when that individual had the mis fortune to faint in the lobby of the house, that he was, revivad by the application of a volume of the journals et the house to the pit of his stomach. (Great laughter.) Now, if on the occasion of this meetinr , I had been likelr to have felt extremely unwell, I should have called on you to let me smell at a copy of the registration list of South Lan cashire. (Cheers.) lam convinced if that remedy had n ot revived me, the prescription might have been improved with the addition of many similar ingredients from neighbouring counties, from our own boroughs, and from, I may say, nearly all parts of the kingdom. (Cheers.) It might be ex pected from me on this occasion that I should do asis some times done, that I should endeavour to present to you some prospect of the difficulties which we might have to contend with, and with some account of the nature of the difficulties to go through in the session of parliament not now very remote. I confess I should feel extremely diffident on un dertaking any task of that description ; for, as the noble lord has stated from the chair, it is absolutely impossible for me or any man to predict the precise course we are to follow whey we have to meet a ministry composed like the Presen„f -1 am as ignorant as the no bl e l or d hi mself of the i r lo; „ ss's" - ples ; I am as ignorant as man can be of their intentions. and I defy any man to predict, on almost any question of vital interest to the country, what their course will be. For they have pursued a practice, when opposed by the conserva tive power, that power which has been truly described as having rallied in this county—they have a practice of recruit ing their exhausted strength by having recourse to the resource of open questions, which positively disables anl - But there is another thing of more serious importance; and that is, that even the most important considerations 0, our national and domestic policy are now almost lost sight of and swallowed up in the more difficult and less easily un derstood question, that of our foreign policy. Now with regard to the questions involved under that denomination , they are usually treated as forbidden matter in the House of Commons ; and I must admit that it is not a subject with safety or discretion to be discussed in that assembly or anl other. But I have met amongst the other accusations with which the conservative party are accused—l have been sur prised and astonished to meet an accusation in one of the daily papers, which is, that the conservative party have an anxious desire for one of the worst of human calamities -- an extensive foreign war. It is not for me to state the pros pects of such a calamity. We are now in circumstances in which those prospects are affected by every letter and every di plomatic correspondence that comes two or three times a week from Paris to London. We know not, day by day, whether we are advancing or retreating from the prospect that is before us ; and, under these circumstances, it is not for me to state any opinion as to the possibility of that dreadful calamity. Gentlemen, I have said I really cannot form an opinion on our future prospects; it is impossible. I don't know what questions the government may please to keep open, and what they may please to keep shut. I don't know whether they may make the repeal of the union a measure for the next session of parliament. It is perfectly true that a man whose I believe to be of honour and integrity—Lord Ebrington -- has declared his strong objection to that measure ; and has stated that he will take the patronage of the crown from an, who support it. As far as he is concerned, no doubt he will act fairly and honestly, and perform what he has stated ; but if he had just added that he would not invite Mr. O'Connell to dinner, it would have been to Mr. O'Connell and most of his hearers nearly as formidable a threat as the other. (Laughter.) But what is advanced in this does not enable us to form any calculation of what will be done with the government in the House of Commons. I have never heard better speeches than I have heard from Lord John Russell in defence of the interests of the church, or in defence of the bishops, and I have seldom heard better reasoning against the ballot ; but yet that is a small satisfaction to me when Lord John Russell, and perhaps another member of the govern ment, votes in favour of the bishop and against the ballot, and several of the other ministers vote against the one and in favour of the substitution of the other. (Hear, hear.) Therefore on this subject —on the future measures of the government, I must really crave your indulgence and excuse. I change the subject, and conclude what I have to say, 11 proposing a toast for your acceptance. , I have sometimes had the support and assistance and co-operation of a large class in this county. It has been my lot to go successfully through two very arduous contests in this county. It has been mY duty to endeavour to secure the support of all classes of per sons, of all religious persuasions, of the inhabitants of this county. I must say, that generally speaking, with man/ exceptions, for which on public and private grounds while am very grateful, that I and my principles have found very little support from protestant dissenters. I have no doubt that this opposition was consistent, and far be it from me to shackle the exercise of the franchise ; but I may be allowed to express on behalf of those who differ from me on this subject matter more than gratitude when I have desired support from them. And this I must say, that from no quarter of the county, have I received a more prompt and gratifying and honourable support, I will not say to myself, but to the prin ciples of that good government which I think I maintain, than I have found from some of the gentry of the Roman Catholic persuasion. (Great cheering.) I trust, gentlemen, it was honourably asked. lam sure it was honourably and franklY given ; and I have no hesitation in proposing to you as a toast, which I am sure you will drink with the same feelings which actuate me in naming it—viz., the healths of Sir John Gerard, Mr. Trafford, Mr. Scarisbrick, and the catholic con servatives of the county. (Immense cheering.) The Hon. R. B. WILBRAHAM, who was labouring under severe indisposition, experienced, as usual, a most cordial reception. He said—My lords and gentlemen, indulgent as I have always found you when I have had the happiness to meet you in public assembly, I must beg to claim your spes cial consideration this day. I have merely to say, that in what fell from my eloquent and noble colleague, when be said he was at a loss to account for the cheers with which the toast had been received, I could riot concur. I assure you that I felt not a little vain in thinking that any part of that applause was designed for me ; but I am fully alive to the advantage of having my noble and right hon. friend for a col league, and that the chief share of right belongs to him. Every day, gentlemen, that passes over my head, I see greater reasons to rejoice in the principles which I adopted from mY childhood, and which induced your hard exertions in my be half, and enabled me to speak from the position in which I now stand. I do congratulate you that this association is daily and hourly increasing in numbers, importance, and ex cending its influence, and it still preserves its original spirit and activity. I trust that it has now arrived at that pitch of strength that we may fairly dare our opponents to conic for ward, and test their power with our own in this Protestant county. lam deeply sensible, gentlemen, that during the last session of parliament I was unable to attend to m y pub lic duties so closely as I could have desired ; but when I state that this arose from domestic affliction and personal ill ness, I am sure I need offer to you no further apology. could add nothing of interest to what has been so ably and eloquently expressed to you already this evening, and win therefore conclude by simply rettlrning you my best thanks for Your kindness and attention. (Great applause.) The CHAlRMAN.—Gentlemen, I am sure that in proposing, to you the next toast, I need only mention the names of Lord Stanley and Mr. Wilson Patten for the purpose of iv curing to it a cordial reception. (Cheers.) Mr. WILSON PATTEN responded to the toast. The Cn AIRMAN then proposed " Lord Lyndhurst and the Conservative Members of the Bar." CRESSWELL CRESSWELL, Esq., M.P.. rose, and was re' calved with cheers which threatened to be interminable. He said—Gentlemen, these are the reasons for which I think
