TO CORRESPONDENTS. We have been compelled to omit several communicitioas, owing to the pressure upon our space from the Liverpool Election proceedings. No BIGOT will see that we have commented upon the vab jeect to which he alludes in a leading article. We 'coincide .with the opinions expressed in his Thtter, but the report of the Liverpool Election Inquiry has - left us no room " , to pub. lish 'it. We shall be happy,•at all times, to receive commtmlcations on-subjects of local er general interest ; and if otirfriends wild be good enough to authenticate the same by their-signa tures, for our own satkrfaction, we•shall feel obliged. TUESDAY :MORNING,.J 7NE 21, 1953. REPRESENTATION OF ILIVERPC3OI. Tna Committee-on the Liverpool Electimf Petition had mot concluded - their enquiry when we vent to press, but it is confidently expected they will agree .to their report this - afternoorn - :and report• it to the House of COIIIMOIIG to-night. Should thcir de cision be adveree to the sitting members,—which it is almost an insult to the Committee to antioispate,— the r..mot for a new -olection will ::cost probably be moved for at once,.and, in that case, the election will take place next- week. As this will involve the necessity of being 'prepared :with.. candidates before our next publication, we take -this opportunity= even at:the risk of its being needless—of calling the attention of the Conservatives to the importance of unanimity on this occasion. We have alreadymen tioned the names of lir. T. B. IiaRETALL and Mr. J. BnAmk.EY-M005...v, and- we are: aatisfied that no two men would be more acceptable to the electors _generally. It will be remembered that on a former occasion applications were made to several distin guished strangers to become candidates, but without . success, as they entertained a doubt of the Conser vative strength in Liverpool. Now that that doubt has been set at rest, there would be no lack of gentlemen willing to come forward; but Liverpool : will not bedoing justice toherself, unless she senda to represent her commercial interests in Parliament ; two of her owntmerchante,ao well qualified in every way as those we have mentioned. We can confi dently state that, should the vacancy occur, Loth gentlemen will be 'brought forward ; and, therefore, an attempt by any of the Conservative party to introduce a stranger to the Borough, will , but defeat its own object, by dividing the Conservative interest. It ought to be unnecessary to say any ,thing in ,justification of the choice of Messrs. HORSFALL and BRA.4=y-Moonn, both of whom are so well known and appreciated. It may be safely averred, that no two men are better acquainted with the•wantaand real interests of the.port, and that: those-interests-would be brought by them before the Legislature .in such a manner as to command the attention which they deserve. It depends, however, upon the decision of the Committee .whether we retain our present excellent Representatives, and upon ourselves whether we so well supply their loss. It will be seen by the report of theproeeedingof the committee yesterday, that they adjourned over till to-day, in order to consider their decision, We shall publish the result, directly after its receipt by electric telegraph, in a SECOND EDITION. THE LIVERPOOL ELECTION INQUIRY_ DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS OF THE PETITIONERS. AFTER an examination of witnesses, which lasted for three weeks, the case for the Petitioners was brought to a close on Saturday, and we are con sequently in a fair position to judge of the whole question. It will be remembered that the counsel for the Petitioners, in his opening speech, made a wholesale charge against the sitting members of systematic bribery and treating, of distributing rosettes with sovereigns enclosed, and of the se►- vents of the Post-office feloniously retaining letters addressed to voters by the partisans of the other side, through the instigation of the Conservative Committee. The case has broken clown in every particular. If any bribery and trfatin i ; were proved, it was on the part of the petitioners, who appear o have been unscrupulous as to their means of obtaining .dente, though they were not always fortunate in their selection of witnesses, notwith standing they ingeniously kept back several they were at the expense of summoning to London, through fear of exposure. The charge about the rosettes was shown to he a pure fabrication, not withstanding the free comments about its enormity; but the worst feature in the business is the infamous charge against the Letter-carriers, for which there y loubt vas not a tittle of f .ndation, and the on is whether the greater enormity is with the witnesses I by whose perjury the charge IVO attempted to be I FSDAY .1L supported, or with those whc.‘ procured their testimony. The falsehood of the accusltion is I imply proved by Mr. CLEGG, the Secretary of the District Committee, where the offence was alleged to be committed, and by JAMES GRAHAM and I JOHN ADLARD, the Letter-carriers, whose conduct is impugned. Mr. CLEGG states that the Letter carriers came to the committee-room simply and solely to inquire the addresses of various parties living in the district; that the information was given them by the WALTHEWS, upon whose testimony the charge is made; that no letters what ever were abstracted; and that so far from compro mising himself by trusting the WALTHEWS, he had no confidence in them, and they were employed by the Ward Committee notoriously against his remonstrances to the contrary. He further states that, so far from there being any possibility of truth in the charge, the circulars of Messrs. CARDWELL and EwART'S committee were not sent through the post, but by their own messen gers. This statement is corroborated by that of the Letter-carriers, who declare that all the letters they had were from the Conservative Committee ; that they only applied for the addresses, all of which they could not obtain ; that none of CARDWELL and EwART'S circulars passed through the Post office ; and that the letters which were returned to the Dead-letter Office were from the Conservative Committee, addressed to Conservative voters, as the books at the Post-office will shew. The whole charge, therefore, is an infamous and wilful fabri cation, the enormity of which it is difficult to characterise in befitting terms, more particularly as its erect was to implicate two deserving men in a serious offence for which they would have deserved severe punishment. It may be urged, however, that the Petitioners were themselves deceived in the matter by their own witnesses, and made the charge in full confidence of its truth. We cannot give them the benefit of this extenuation, but unhesitatingly denounce their conduct as know ingly and wilfully committed for the base purpose of prejudicing the Committee against the sitting Members, at any cost. This is amply proved by their having subpoenaed Mr. CLEGA-, who was kept in London fifteen days at their expense, and then refused to be examined. The Letter-carriers whom they 'had subpoenaed were also kept in London ten days:; and though they repeatedly tendered their evidence, it was refused, because they would have exposed the falsehood of the accusation ; and there is the still more striking fadt, that the Petitioners themselves must have known that the circulars of 'Messrs. 'CA - RDWELL and EWAWI'S committee were not sent through the post. They are, there fore, without excuse, for - they had ample opportuni ties of knowing the 'truth, and their rejection of it shows the wretched prostration of feeling and utter departure from common honesty to which profess ing Liberals will sometimes degrade themselves, in order to-seek a political advantage. The case admits of no palliation, and our Radical contemporaries who have crowed so loudly about Conservative corrup tion are welcome to make the most of it. The inquiry has amply vindicated the character of the Liverpool Freemen, 'but it has indelibly blackened the reputation of those who -sought to impugn it. PARLIAMENTARY PROCRASTINATION. THSTEZ is an okl. story - told in some of the jest hooks, that when -Queen ELIZAEETH asked the Speaker of her faithful Commons what had passed during their Session, he replied, " May it please MA-Tarry, -six months." We can imagine the month of July drawing to a - close, the members of the present 'Parliament tired of long sittings through hot nights, and anxious for rural recrea tion, and Queen . VICTCRIA putting a similar questlon to the Right Hon. SRATc LEFEVRE. He might repeat the answer of his -predecessor in the reign of the virgin monarch, and with equal appro priateness, for it would be difficult to frame a reply more accurate. 'lndeed it appears to have been the policy of the Whig--Radical party ; when in office, to get over - the -Session with .as little practical business as posSible, and the • coalition of the Paciirrn section seans in no -way to have caused an improvement upon the system. The leading points of Ministerial propositions are ushered into notice with . speeches of five hotf duration--the Budget and the India Bill for example ; adjourned dektes at intervala.prolong the proceedings almost indefinitely, until, week after week and month after , month having passed-over, the time for prorogation is close at hand, and the majority of measures .which were introduced with such -a flourish are unavoidably postponed to another Session, to similar round of systematic procrasti nation.ln the interval senseless discussions take place the impossible projects of individual members, undergo a who indulge in what are 'called their annual ructions—the - Mutiny Bills arapassed, the Supplies are voted ; and when the public, who have been indulging in hopes all this time, feel a natural anxiety to learn what beneficial legislation has resulted from these long ::debates and late sittings, they are blandly told to wait for another Session, when the Ministers will be prepared witi, sumo comprehensive-scheme. This has become so much a meter of system, that we inay almost juege of the poverty of performances by the magnitude of promises. In the present Session, for instance, Mr. CARDWELL 'brought forward an elaborate measure which was to confer an incalculable amount of benefit on the Shipping Interest.; Lord JOHN RussELL indulged in a long prefatory speech to a scheme far the extension of National Education; .Mr. WiLsox proposed a Bill for the long-desired reform of the Board ofec„stoms; and Sir CgARLES Wool), in a laboured harangue, introduced his India Bill. The month of June is now drawing to a close, and what progress has been made in any of these schemes, or does any one imagine that 1 they were ever seriously intended for any other 1 purpose than to occupy public attention while the 1 time of Parliament was occupied in imposing new taxes under the pretence of repealing old ones ? Our Radical friends exulted in the defeat of the Earl of DERBY, and congratulated themselves upon the weakness of their former leaders being com pensated by the accession of the PEELITE rene gades; but let any honest man belonging to either political party ask himself where is the benefit of the change, and he will be compelled to acknow ledge that he cannot discover it. The Earl of ABERDEEX has nominally replaced Lord JOHN RUSSELL ; and has openly snubbed his colleague on the question of the Irish Church; Mr. GLAD STONE has been substituted for Sir CHARLES 'WOOD, and shown his superior skill by mere intricate complication ; the Earl of CLARENDON has replaced Lord PALMERSTON, and rendered elaborate explanation requisite to justify his foreign policy ; and, of all the changes effected by the boasted coalition, the only apparent improvement is from Earl GREY to the Duke of NEWCASTLE in the Colonial-office. Yet, for this mere shifting of places and shuffling of the cards, the country was deprived of the services of the Earl of DERBY, effected more real benefit in four months, wit!. avowedly hostile parliamentary majority, than the present Administration are likely to effect in as many years—if popular infatuation allow them to retain their places so long—with a favourable House of Commons. It is a mere delusion to anticipate any advantage from a Whig-Radical Ministry, even with all the aid of the red-tape experience of their PEELITE allies. Their policy is directly opposed to the spirit a ad genius of the English mind, which was never more forcibly demonstrated than at the last Liverpool election, TO be SOLD, by PRIVATE CONTRACT, COPT HOLD PROPERTY, situate in West Derby-road, consisting of Eight Dwelling-houses, respectably tenanted, and producing a rental of ze2Bo.

Mai ;6 : M2rket-4trtnt, MAnchester As a naticn, Tvative of the ti me-honoured institutions under ,ly Conservat ?hid' we have so signally flourished, pretended reform, is simply alteration, is an outrage upon our long. cherished convictions. Indeed every honest man is at heart a Conservative, whatever may be his professions ; and he does but delude himself by indulging in hopes the realisation of which is above his comprehension, who believes for one instant that any advantage can be obtained from what is called Liberal policy. The history of the last twenty-five years will afford abundant testimony to this truth, for it would be difficult to point to one substantial benefit or important reform which has vhich, ve—con- and every cal hands, n Whig-Rad not emanated from a Conservative Ministry. It is, however, to the credit of this country that the last change of Ministry was not effected through the votes of English Representatives, but by the traitorous combination of the Irish Brigade, who first sold their country, and then discovered that they had sold themselves. THE UNITED MINISTRY. THE division on the motion for the introduction of the Ballot, has afforded us an instructive insight into the unity which exists in the present vaunted coalition Ministry, which was to combine the scat tered elements of party, and show to an admiring public how patriotism could reconcile minor dif ferences, and make men of one mind for their country's good. There was a time when it was an indispensable condition of accepting office, that every member of the Government should vote with his chief upon all questions in which the Govern ment took part ; and we cannot forget the humble apology which Mr. HUSKISSON made to the Duke of WELLINGTON for an adverse vote, which he attributed to a mistake, when the latter replied in his curt way :—" It is no mistake, it can be no mistake, and it shall be no mistake ;" and de manded his immediate resignation. But now, while we have a Ministry, we are without a Government ; for it would be idle to apply such a term to a set of men, the nominal head of whom is without control over its members. In the minority who voted for the introduction of the Ballot, we find the names of a member of the Cabinet, the two principal Crown lawyers the ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR-GENERAL, the SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND, and four other inferior Ministers; while in the majority against the motion, we find -the names of the LEADER OF THE HOUSE OF CO5l NIONS, the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, the HOME SECRETARY, the PRESIDENT or THE BOARD OF CONTROL, and other subordinates. Here is a pleasant split in the coalition upon a question of vital importance, and a specimen given us of the kind of legislation we may anticipate whenever the Ministryseriously set about concocting a new - Reform Bill. It is a kind of indefinite post ponement of doing anything, for it will be quite time enough for Parliament to he consulted when the Ministers have been able to agree among them selves,— an event which appears to be beyond the bounds of probability, when upon one of the points of the Charter we find them dividing by fifteen to eight. There is an old saying, that "when rogues fall out, honest men come by their own," and with this hope we may congratulate our readers upon the present cheering prospects ; but we may remark that the late division affords in itself one of the strongest arguments in favour of the Ballot, for could the Ministry have availed themselves of the privilege of secret voting, they might have been spared from the humiliating exposure of their own divisions. INSPECTION OF NUNNERIES. Tem Bill which has been introduced into the House of Commons for effecting a legal inspection of Conventual Establishments has created quite a furor of excitement among the priests of Rome, and no means are left unspared to provoke their dupes into an agitation against it. In this they are by no means careful as to the truth of their assertions, for the wildest falsehoods are invented in order to stimulate an opposition to the Bill, which, without such aid, might be too lukewarm to be worthy of attention. The people are told that the measure before the House authorises the most outrageous intrusions upon the privacy of females in private houses, and they are advised to resist the law by throwing such intruders out of window; and all this is uttered with such a semblance of honest indignation, that it is difficult for the poor deluded creatures, who constitute the flocks of Romish priests, to believe that the whole is an ingenious draught upon their credulity. We can hardly, therefore, be surprised at the number of petitions from Ireland against the Bill, although we feel convinced that the greater portion of those who have .signed them would willingly concur in the chief object endeavoured to be effected. The existence of Nunneries under Romanist influence in this country is a disgrace to the age, and practically gives the lie to our boast of personal liberty. If any Minister were seriously to propose a suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, he would be met by a demand for his impeachment; and should the vilest wretch that ever crawled the earth be restrained from his vicious courses without due form of law, we should hear many an indignant remonstrance and enthusiastic rhapsody about British freedom. But in the face of all this jealous regard for personal liberty, young and inexperienced females, whose highly wrought imaginations have rendered them easy victims of designing priests, are immured in prison -houses under the name of Nunneries, debarred from all resort or appeal to relatives or friends, under the absurd plea of their having voluntarily devoted themselves to Heaven ; and yet we are told that the law is powerless to rescue them from these charnel-houses of the living, because it tamely succumbs to a pretended authority for which there is no warrant, either human or Divine. It is an axiom of English law, that for every wrong there is a remedy, but those of Nuns were beyond redress, and all that is proposed by the present Bill is to appoint Inspectors under the authority of the LORD CHANCELLOR, who, in cases where reasonable suspicion may exist of improper detention, may make an investigation into the circumstances, and put the law in force in order to obtain redress, A milder course, to be in any way effectual, could hardly be devised; and yet, because it promises to expose some of those proceejings which Romish priests are so anxious to keep from the public eye, from a conscious ness of their enormity, this hubbub is raised, the grossest misrepresentations of the measure are circulated, and a furious outcry made about this alleged outrage upon religious liberty. The very falsehood of the charge is the clearest proof of its utter want of foundation, and the only real fault to be found with the Bill is that it does not go far enough. It should have at once declared all such places illegal; but in its mildness we look for its success ; and as the first reading was carried in the House of Commons by a majority against the votes and influence of the Ministers, we latter will see the folly of standing out further against public opinion, and allow the Bill to pass through its remaining stages. The second reading is fixed for to-morrow (Wednesday), and the members who voted in its favour on the first division will not be doing their duty unless they attend in their places and secure its progress. Their opponents have not the idle plea of its being hi - Inciple of toleration s which me of them are so anxious to maintain, for all ls Purposely omitted trust that the any infringement of the reference to religious teac from its provisions for the he. ini ess t physic which is sho be exercised by the 1: and barred dows with which such p 1 ces are invariably surrounded; and if s cions are unduly excited, those who employ such means have only themselves to thank. LAW REFORM. IF there be really any desire to obtain the long promised blessings of a Reform in our Courts of Law and Equity, the public will know how to appreciate the change of Ministry, which was a substitution of "all the talents," with its contra dictory elements, for the united Conservative party. The Earl of DERBY, who came in without pledges or promises of any kind, was in office but a short time, and yet during that brief interval more sub stantial and important law reforms were effected than had before been accomplished in many years. The present Ministry commenced their career with the grandest promises, and yet, after months have elapsed, there is not the slightest prospect of any of their promises being realised. Occasionally we hear of a running fire of complaints about the enormous charges in County Courts, tvlii( II were to give every man cheap law, but no step has been taken to remedy the abuses. The LORD CHAN CELLOR set himself the gigantic task of digesting and codifying the law, but nothing has yet come of it ; and, while the measures proposed by Lord ST. LEONARDS have been set aside, in order to let the new Law Officers try their hands at amend ment, the latter seem, in accordance with Whig practice, to be content with promises, and there the matter rests. One of the most important alterations required is the establishment of local tribunals for purely commercial questions; but, much as it has been pressed, and its necessity demonstrated, it has shared a similar fate, and no hope of a remedy exists so long as those who really desire some advantage from legislation indulge the forlorn hope of expecting it from a Coalition Administration. TAXATION ON NEWSPAPERS. We have been among the last to complain of the taxa tion upon Newspapers as far as concerns the Stamp Duty, for the simple reason that it operates as a kind of protec tion against that ruinous and injurious competition which begins in reduction of price, and inevitably results in de terioration of quality. While in England. with the im position of a stamp, the Press has become the boast of our age, a credit to our national intelligence, and the palladium of British liberty, in other countries it has de generated into the mere pander to popular prejudices, or the root of despotic tyranny ; and in France a stamp has been recently imposed as the only safeguard against a licentiousness which had become Intolerable. But ad mitting the propriety of retaining the stamp, we cannot perceive the advantage of the alteration which has been proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the Excnentren. Conscious of having, in his former proposition, laid him self open to the charge of attempting to purchase the sup port of The Times, by a bribery which amounted to more than £20,000 a year, Mr. GeansroNn has in his new scheme merely varied the mode of conferring the favour, without making it less a boon to vone- particular paper, although he has permitted a few , mere to share in the privilege. The most objectionable part, however, of the Budget, relating to newspapers, is the retention of a six penny duty on Advertisements, after a direct vote of the House for its total abolition. There is hardly a solitary reason on which he can justify this proceeding, which we can only characterise as a paltry act of petty obstinacy. The whole amount involved is only £60,000 a-year, and for this scanty saving the restrictions and inconvenience which invariably accompany any system of direct taxa tion is to be retained, and the public deprived of that boon to which they are fairly entitled, and which they bad a right to anticipate. If the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has been so close in his calculations,.and left so narrow a margin for contingencies that he really cannot spare the money, the alternative is easy of de cision. It is a simple question between. boating few by the repeal of the Supplement Stamp, or giving the boon to the many by the abolition of the Advertisement Duty; and the former should certainly give way to the latter. He may also refrain from lowering the stamp on, articles of apprenticeship to attorneys, or even raise it to , a higher sum. This would be a boon to the profession, and prevent it from being inundated by men of Inferior education and standing in society; but to retain the paltry sixpence on each Advertisement is to preserve all the worst features of the system, without a corresponding benefit. It is keeping the word of promise to the ear and breaking it to the hope, and imposing a restriction upon announcements through the columns of a newspaper to which they are not liable under any other form. The proposition has still, however, to receive the fiat of Par liament, and we trust that the members of the House of Commons will be consistent with their previous vote, and once more declare their determination to abolish the duty altogether. DEATH OF MR. RAMSHAY. WE regret to learn that WILLIAM RAMSHAY, Esq.; barrister•at-iavr, late Judge of the Liverpool County Court, expired on Thursday last. This event took place, we believe, at the learned gentleman's chambers, in London. TRANSATLANTIC STEAM•SHIPS.--Tile steam-ship Baltic, Captain Comstock, sailed on Wednesday for New York, with 150 passengers.—The Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Harrison, commander, took her departure from the Mer sey on Saturday afternoon, for New York, with the usual mails, &c. THE TELEGRAPH, anew steamer intended for the trade between Belfast and Liverpool, was tried on the Clyde on Friday last, and attained a high rate of speed. 'She is 247/ feet long, keel and forelake, 27$ feet broad, and 151 feet depth in the hold, and admeasures 820 tons, exclusive of the cngine-toom. MARINE STORER IN LlVERPOOL.—Yesterday, at the police-office, a marine storekeeper, named Michael Barran', whose premises are situated in Chaloner-street, was sent to gaol for two months and deprived of his license, for re ceiving stolen bale-ropes and dirty cotton, as well as old copper, which appeared to have been surreptitiously picked up from the docks by a triumvirate of " professionals," named John Holding, Thomas Smith, and Winnifred Golding. The two male thieves were remanded till this mom - tine, while the woman was discharged. THE " ROUGH 3" OF FONTENOY-STREET.—Yesterday, at the Police-office, two young fellows, named respectively Mulhally and M'Guinness, were charged with a gross and unprovoked assault on police-officer Carroll, com mitted on the evening of Saturday fortnight. M'Guin ness did not attempt to deny the charge ; but said that. as he had taken out a passage for America, and intended to sail for the land of liberty on Thursday next, he hoped their honours would be lenient upon him. Inspector Ryde stated that the officer Carroll was a first-class man, and wore a medal for good conduct and efficiency. He had been placed in Fontenoy-street, which was his exclu sive beat ; and, consequently, in cases like the present no other evidence could be produced save his own. From the number of " roughs" residing in the locality, be was subject to the grossest attacks, his life being almost daily placed in jeopardy. Indeed, such was the character of the people frequenting that locality, and who made it a constant practice to assault the solitary guardian of the peace, that those respectable individuals who resided in the neighbourhood were afraid to come forward as wit nesses, in consequence of the certainty of being subjected to further annoyance and danger. In these circum stances, the prisoners were ordered to pay a floe of £5, each ; in default, to go to prison for two months. LIVERPOOL PHILOMATHIC . SOCIETY.—The annual dinner of this flourishing society took place on Saturday. The spot selected for the occasion was the delightful vil.

The day being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, Mr. Spence proposed " The memory of the Duke of Wel lington ; ' and in the speech in which it was introduced, dashed off, impromptu, a sketch of the g reat captain, which was replete with truth, vigour, and eloquence. The health of Mr. Blackburao was neither forgotten nor omitted, and the drinking of it elicited a feeling reply from the excellent gentleman who has the superintendence of his grounds, Mr. Nickson.
