LIDELIN COUNTY.—An address has been presented to Mr. 4enrge Hamilton, to come forward as a Conservative candidate 411- th e county of Dublin. Among the names affixed to this , kument are those of four Irish peers, two of 'whom have seats Ip parliament---they are Lords Longford, Clan Carty, Rathdown, a lnl. Langford. b,MEN WISE IN THEIR OWN CONCEIT.—It is not possible, '4 a conceited man must be a fool. For, that overweening opi ticin he hath of himself, excludes all opportunity of purchasing :11owledge. Let a vessel be once full of never so base liquor, it 41 . not give room to the costliest ; but spills beside whatsdever 8 infused. The proud man, though. he be empty of good sub-, :ance yet is full of conceit. Many men had proved wise, if '''"eY had not thought themselves so.—Bishop Hall. oNEW LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE.—A new engine, made by Messrs. p - t all), Roberts, and Co., of Manchester, has lately been - tried the railway with nine waggons—weight about 36 tons. It %fled from Chat Moss for Manchester, and the quickest speed It attained was eight miles an hour. The cylinders are of the 'alue size as Messrs. Stephenson's engine—the Sampson, which, ' 4l the same ground, will draw 180 tons at the rate of fifteen file s an hour. The engine .made by Messrs. Galloway and called the Caledonian, the cylinders of which are two Telles less than the one. made by Messrs. Sharp and Co., will draw 150 tons, on the same ground, at the rate of 13 miles an 'our. The weight of the two engines is very nearly the same. THE PRESS.—What ought the press to be ? The authorised i.e,aiele of public opinion, the wholesome guardian of national uerty, the guide of public morals, the preserver of sound reli .;Z°4. What is it ? The organ of disappointed ambition, or :Le trad e o f m e n w r iti ng for - bread. One man prints the folly. Wickedness of his own brain, stamps upon it the editorial •!," and gulls the simple into the belief that it is the public Another prints, net - what he thinks, but what will sell. ' 8 paragraphs are like Peter Pindar's razors, which were a tae t not to shave, but to sell. And as slander, ridicule, and t'sehood sell best, therefore slander, ridicule, and f a l se h oo d , th e columns of the venal press. A mob of Radicals is called 1 , 4 numerous and respectable meeting," an assembly of gentle 'et; a hole and corner faction." • • EXCLUSIVE DE - Ausro.—We regret to find that attempts arc m a de at Bury and Oldham;to .- restrict the voters of these bo: . k 'lghs in - the free and honest exercise of thb elective trust. At ~,keeting of.12;000 persons lately held at Bury, it was unani ;',ously resolved, "not to spend a single penny with any elector f , Q 0 shall give his vote to the enemy of the people," —or, in fs.ther words, who :shall xvithhold his ' vote from Mr. Edward "'randy, the radical candidate For the purpose of aiding this tantialotis attempt, lists of the voters for each candidate are to Published immediately after the election, specifying their illlective occupations and residences. At Oldham a placard 1 1 _ 8 been published by the Political Union calling upon the in irbitants to adopt a similar course. There is no doubt, we be 4eve, that these proceedings amount to an illegal conspiracy en that the parties concerned in them are liable to be indicted 'l* that offence. k t MANCHESTER ELECTION.—We understand that the town of i - Onchester, which contains 4293 voters, i s di v id e d i n t o e i g ht y tB tricts, with one booth for each; for which purpose s uit au l e gildin g s have been taken in different parts of the town.

Allusion is made in those resolutions to the chief of ti ese causes, the general want of employment by the labouring Lasses during the last six months, and the peculiar privations t i,u;hich multit am udes of filie were sujected by the visitation th "le cholera; many of them, s through b the removal by death of 1,:1 8 ,e on whose exertions they had depended for a subsistence, Is iplg been deprived at once of all human support, except that Tt i l eh the kind hand of benevolence was enabled to afford. 4 e visiters of the Strangers' Friend Society contributed their t t 'stance to alleviate these distresses ,• and your committee fCA at they could not, consistently with the calls of humanity, e 4 4 , ll sent to hoard up any portion of the funds entrusted to them, a gile they saw misery and death in fearful operation around i!'ern.

E EX-SPEAKE n.---Mr. Manners Siittons had an audience of his Majesty on Monday, at St. James's-palace, for the pur pose of soliciting the favour usually awarded by the Sovereign to the Speaker of the House of Commons, on the eve of a dis solution of Parliament, of remaining in his official residence until the appointment of his successor ; which it is understood the King was graciously pleased to grant. At ten o'clock on Tuesday night, a deputation from the University of Cambridge, consisting of the Rev. Dr. Chafy, Master of Sidney Sussex College, Mr. Tatham, President of St. John's, and Mr. Terry, Fellow of Trinity, arrived in Palace yard, and solicited the ex- Speaker to come forward for the University, on the Tory inte rest, in conjunction with Mr. Goulburn, it - having been an nounced that Mr. Yates Peel retires, and that the ministry do not intend, at present, to call up Mr. Manners Sutton to . the Houie of Peers. The right honourable gentleman, having taken farewell of his constituents at Scarborough, acceded to the wishes of the requisitionists ; and on Wednesday morning lie left Palace-yard for Cambridge. Goulburn met the de putation at Mr. Manner Sution's residence, and conferred with them on the subject of his re-election. We understood that the Speaker was confident, .at the adjournment of •Parliament, that •he would shortly receive the dignity of the peerage. The rea son assigned for his non-elevation is said to be his political opi nions, which, from education, family connexions, and association, are decidedly Tory. ' THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. CURIOUS CALCULATION ON POPULATION. It appears by the late pppulation returns for Great lt#o.in, that the ratio of increase in 20 years, is abcitit 37 per cent, for England. If this increase shOuld continue uniform and unin terrupted for another century; we shall 'have a population in England alone, in - 1931 of upwards of 63 millions. Sufipoiing the whole human race to increase in a similar proportion, from the, creation of Adam and. Eve, (which ac cording to Scripture Chronology, is 5536 years,) to the present time, though in the first century of the world, the number would not exceed ten, and in the next nine succeeding centuries, they would not amount to more than 13,720,000, yet they would by this time, (if it were possible for such a number to exist upon the Globe,) 'haVe ainountedto the inconceivable number of 75.804.520000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000, which is equal to the mtmber of the grains of sand sufficient to compose 1149,000,000 solid Globes, each equal in magnitude, to the Earth, and it would require a Globe so constituted as our Globe is of land and. water, 6.140200.000300.000000 miles in diame ter, to alloiw each inhabitant j, of a statute acre of land to sub sist upon.

The hand of the ruth less despoiler is raised, and the sword of destruction is on,. sheathed. The slogan of spoliati o n a nd o f un i versa l anarchy,. peals in our ears—and if there is to be preserved to Great Britain one remnant of happiness, one reminiscence of ancient glory, of internal peace and prosperity, and external national independence and kespect, at this momentous crisis, it can only be by a cordial c=o:operation and combination of all right thinking men, who hove a deep stoke in their country's wel fare, to lose sight fora moment of speculative points of political variance, and of party interests—and to lay shoulder to shoulder, ard, by one great effort, to return to Parliament such men as will preserve to the country its most valued rights, ustitutions, and interests, and at oncec rush. Revolution in its Hien. It thriws a gloom over every mind capable of reflec tion, to perceive that, those ; men who now offer themselves for the representation of our Cities, Burghs, and Counties, mainly ground their. pretensions to this high honour, on the fact that they are disciples - of the doctrine of perpetiial political change. In this, these men address themselves to the passions of that destructive and revolutionary party, against whom the most energetic resistance ought to bemade, if the form of our government, of our church, and our newly imposed composition, are to be preserved unalterable. With an intelli gent body of electors, there can exist but one opinion as to the absolute necessity of turning such men adrift. They are, to all intents and purposes, the advocates of the supremacy of matter over mind—of might over right, and of despotism, or anarchy, over established order and settled. institutions. The lawless will of the wicked few they transmute, by their sophistry, into the vox poputi vox dei ; and, under that popular cry, they pro ceed in their unholy task to rend asunder the preScriptive and time-venerated bands by which society has been held together. With such men—•with such ample professions of slavish subser viency to the misguided and misdirected passions of the brutal' mass, no honest and independent elector can ever associate himself, or can in honour or principle ever Import. Shame, eternal shame, will light upon his forehead, who, for raltry, selfish, and party purposes, lends a hams in returning to oarliamant any such traitors to their country. With sorrow we confess there Is, a chance that some of our countrymen will demean and dishonour themselves in this way ; but proud are . we to say that the slaves Are few amongst us, artd that the great bulk of the electors. will • follow the li g ht of - their iwu wider studios, and comport themselves, indeed, like freemen, TO THE ELECTORS OF LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN, In the course of a few days you will be called upon to select two fit and proper persons 'to be y ou r repr esentat i ves i n .the parliament of 'Great Britain. It will therefore become you to examine well the principles, pretensions, and merits of the gentlemen who stand forward as candidates to solicit your suffrages. First, then, let us consider the pretensions of our former representatives, Mr. EWart'and 'Lem Sandon ; because knowing what their conduct has been, we may be able to judge of what it may be hereafter. When the fatal accident happened which deprived us of our illustrious representative, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Ewart came forward, apparently syrnpathysing in our distress ; and whilst he offered his tribute of respect and veneration to the memory of that great statesman, he offered himself, as a fit and proper person to represent our interests iu the great councils of the nation.' 'But Upon what grounds did he claim our support ? he professed himself an humble disciple of him whose loss we mourned as a national calamity ; he eulogised his principles and political conduct, an d h e pl e d ge d himself .to follow in the same path, though he acknowledged that it must be at an immeasurable distance. Deceived by these promises we gave him our support, we raised him to the situation to which h e aspired, and in retu rn c l a i me d, the redemption of the pledge he had given us ; has he redeemed it ? No ! on the contrary be has totally forgotten it, he has sat in the house merelya tool of the ministers,- he has considered them as infallible, and has voted with them on every occasion, without giving himself the trouble to inquire into the merits of a single question which they thought proper either to propose or condemn. Such has been the line of conduct pursued by Mr: Ewart. We now come to consider the conduct of Lord Sendai'. He came before us a moderate reformer; he pledged himself to an unwearied attention to the local wants and interests of his constituents, and also to' sopport the three great principles of the Reform Bill ; at the same time distinctly reserving to himself the power of dealing with its minor details as he might think conducive to render the measure be,teficial to the nation. He has nobly redeemed his pledge, even his bitterest enemies allow that in bun Liverpool has had an able and efficient representative. But they attempt to fix upon him a charge of inconsistency, in that he refused to. ive his assent to the partial disfranchisement of thirty boroughs, which ministers had determined irrevocably to condemn, in defiance of all principle and all precedent. Again, they complain that be did not vote in favour of Lord Ebrington's motion for ten address expressing the most implicit confidence in Earl Grey and his colleague's, but I contend that after Lord Sandon's independent and manly conduct with reg ard to sche :rile lt he, would have been guilty o f th e most glaring inconsistency if he had supported this motion. Of Mr.Thornely it is not necessary to say much. Who is he ? What are his pretensions, that he should claim our support ! He is a man who lens declared that lie will 'weer ship a package of goods on hoard a. British vessel whilst he can employ one belonging to his adopted country : He is a Socinian, and as such must conscientiously consider it his duty to endeavour to over throwour church, and to blot out our holy relitrion. Merchants and Tradesmen,—will you submit to be repre sented by at. alien ; by an open and avowed enemy to British shipping and to Be itish commerce; Christians (of all denomi nations) will you support a man who refuses to acknowledge the truth of our religiou ; who is an open enemy to our Gospel and our God. I shall now call your attention to Sir Howard Douglas. His address to you breathes the manly spirit of independence which has ; characterized his conduct through life ; his opponents have in vain endeavoured to find a flaw in his character ; they have searched it thoroughly, but they have found it faultless ; as a last effort to prejudice you against him they have told you that h e i s a stranger ; have they forgot that both Canning and Huskissr•n ►were strange's? and who will attribute as a reproach to Liverpool that it has been represented by two of the greaestt statesmen England ever saw. • • Gentlemen, the choice of your representativests rests With yourselves ; if you elect Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas, you 'secure the services• of two liOnourable and independent men who understand your interests, and .who have too'n►i►rh regard for their own character ever to deceive you. Elect Messrs. Ewart and Tbornely, and you contribute your share to overthrow all our ancient and venerable institutions— institutions which have raised us to thefirst rank in the scale of nations, and which should lie loved and cherished by every lover of - his country,—! aw, &c. C. H. MEETING OF THE SHIPWRIGHTS. A meeting of the shipwrights took place; it their Club-room, in Bond-street,, on Monday night, the 3d instant. The , room Was Crowded' to excess. Sir H OWARD DOUGLAS with Mr. Al derman Wright, Mr. Bibby, Mr. Irla m , Mr. Gibb, and a nu merous party of most respectable merchants, visited the club. Sir IlOwarddeclared his principles, as already before the pub lic in his address to the electors, avowed himself the steady and uncompromising friend. of "Ships, colonies, and commerce." He was most enthusiastically received, .and little doubt can be entertained of the great bulk of the ship Wrights voting for him. Mr. Alderman Wright 'made an excellent speech to his "Friends and brother chips"'on introducing Sir Howard, and a very interesting statement was made by Captain Stott, of the greatikindness and humanity which 'he experienced from Sir Howard when Governor of St. John's, of which the following is a brief outline : " About four years ago, Captain Stott, of the Highlander brig, sailed from Rio de Janeiro with 180 men, 37 of whom were wounded, and no doctor on board, 30 women, and 15 children, being part of the persons who sailed from Ireland ith.Colonel Cotter, under the persuasion of their going to Rio as settlers; brit, to their sorrow, they found, on arrival, th e y were d est i ned for the service of Don Pedro's army, being thus deceived they revolted, and during the disturbance a number of these poor creatures were killed and wounded, and the remainder impri-, soned. But, on application of the British ambassador, a num ber of ships were chartered by the Brazilian government, and these people shipped for Ireland and St. John's, N.B. The Highlander was taken up and consigned for' St. John's with the above number on board,—arrived there after a passage of 45 dayi, all well, with the exception of one man. On Captain Stott's arrival a doctor came from the Medical Board, and de clared the vessel healthy, and gave permission for Captain Stott to appear before the Mayor for leave to land the passengers, with whom the following conservation occurred Captain Stott, I cannot allow you to land the passengers, owing to your having sickness on board.'—' Mr. Mayor, 1, have no sickness whatever, but soon shall have, as the poor fellows have only the wet and bare decks to lie upon.' Captain Stott then returned on board, and found the passengers almost iu a state of great excitement, fully expecting they . were to be relieved from their suffering; by being allowed an immediate debarkation. After this the captain succeeded in pacifying them with a• promise, that he would see the Governor when he returned to St. John's. Four days afterwards the Governor returned, and Captain Stott had an interview with him. • He expressed himself sorry for the detention his absence had occasioned, and declared that there was not any law in existence that would prevent the landing of the passengers at a British settlement, they being British sub jects, and he under Stood they . were in very great distress, they had already been much deceived and persecuted, and that they must be protected; . he desired Captain . Stott to advise the con signee to set on foot a subscription amongst the inhabitants in aid of the sufferers, and that whatever sum was subscribed by them he would double. The consequence of this was, that a sufficient sum was raised to clothe, feed, and to pay the passage of those that left the colony,—and that Governor was SIR HOWARD DOUGLAS." • We never saw a larger meeting of this club, or a meeting more, determinedly favourable to the return of Sir Howard Douglas as one of the representatives of this borough, of which we believe there is now no doubt. THE EAST INDIA CHARTER.--The important fact is.stated by Mr. Crawford, who, from his personal connexions, is likely to be accurately informed upon the subject, that government have determined to throw open the East India trade, with the exception only of the tea, and that even that is tinder consi deration, with the view of removing the fiscal difficulties which have' alone delayed a decision. This is the first intimation which has transpired of the intentions of ministers upon the subject.--Brighton Gazette. IMPORTANCE OF HUMILITY.-Dr. Franklin once receiv ed a very useful lesson from the excellent Dr. Cotton Mather, which he thus relates, in a letter to his son.—" The last time I saw your father was in 1724. On taking my leave, he show ed me a shorter way out of the house, by a narrow passage, which was crossed by a beam over-head. We were still talk ing, as I withdrew, he accompanying me behind. and I turning towards him, when he said hastily, Stoop, stoop !' I did not understand him, till I felt my head hit-against the beam. He was a man who , never missed an opportunity of giving instruc tion ; and upon this he said to me, You are young, and have the world before you, learn to stoop as you go througn it, and you will' miss many hard thumps.' rhis advice, thus beat into my head, has fiLquently been of use to me; andl often think of it, when I see pride mortified, and misfortunes biought upon peo ple by their carrying their heads too-bigh.a Tla CHASE.

Remington and Stephenson, took.place on Thursday, before Mr. Commissioner Wil liams, for the purpose of auditing accounts, and declaring a dividend on the joint and separate estate. Mr. Abbott, the official assignee, then stated, that iipon Rowland Stephenson's separate estate, he was prepared to pay a dividend of ls. in the pound upon the debts which amounted to £lBO,OOO, and leave a balance of £3,000. It was proposed that the creditors should have possession of the property in Pitt-place, and which they would have on payment of a small sum of money. Debts to a very considerable amount were owin,g from persons who would pay them by instalme n t s , an d w hi c h would amount to £26.000. Other property, when converted into cash, would yield £32,200, and thus make a further dividend of 3s. in the pound : when that sum was paid the dividend on Stephenson's estate would amount to 6s. 6d. in the pound. On the joint estate he had to receive £11,600, which with £21,800 ready to be divided among the creditors, would yield a dividend of 6d. in the pound. It was expected that other debts would be collected to make another dividend of 2s. Bd. in the pound, which, with 10s. 6d. in the pound already paid, would make the whole divi dend on the joint estate amount to 13s. Bd. in the pound. This state ment gave very great satisfaction, MUTINY AT SEA.—The American Vice-consul applied to the sitting Magistrate, at the Thames Pollee Office, on Tuesday, for advice un der the following circumstances :—lt appeared that, during the pas sage of the American ship Hercules, from Calcutta to Boston, a seri ous mutiny broke out among the crew, and the Captain put into the Isle of France, where, by the advice of the United States' Consul; the mutineers were detained for the purpose of being sent home on the firs; favourable opportunity. The Consul, however, had not been able to tend ihem home in an America ship, but had them on board the Lady Macnaughton, East Indianian, bound for England, which had arrived in 'the Downs, and was expected daily in the river, The object of his application was to have the mutineers (eight in number) taken out of the Lady Machnaughten, and confined here, until some vessel left the port of London for the United States, where the men would be brought to trial for their offence. Mr. Ballantine said, he had no power to interfere, as the offence was committed by Americnn sailors, under American colours, but he recommended the Vice-consul to apply to the Americhn . Ambassador, who would apply for assistance to the Home Secretary. NATIVES OF MADAGASCAR.—The native costume is simple. The men, who are 'robust . and well-Proportioned, wrap them selves in a cloth which they throw like a cloak over their shoulders, and another that is wound round their waist. These garments, being very rarely changed or washed, h ar b our a great quantity' of vermin, o f which.. the -Wearers are so little ashamed that they make no scruple of Standing in the sun in the open streets and employing their slaves to rid them of their annoyance. Their hair is platted in little locks, which are becoming -in appearance • but as it is the cust om t o ano i nt t h e head with ox-grease, and 'wear no covering, the heat of the sun renders the scent .intolerable. The beard is suffered to grow on the chin only, being eradicated on the other parts of the face with _pincers. The King's guard have now their hair cropped;, this regulation caused two years ago a revolution among the woman, who were much distressed at seeing their husbands deprived of their ornamental locks; but the execu tion of seven of thes e f ema l es, w i t h several men who were the instigators of the disturbance, restored tranquillity. Both men and women adorn the upper part of their arms and belly with scars, differing according to taste, and resembling bas-relief.— Many individuals also pierce their ears and dilate the perfora tions so as to admit the three forefingers. Their principal finery consists in decorating their feet, h an d s, an d nec k wit h chains of silver, coral, and pieces of money,- from a franc to a piastre in value, amounting sometimes to. upwards of 200 or 300 francs. They keep these jewels as their most precious possessions, often not parting with them even after their death.
