PLATE OF TILE SAILORS' BONIE.--We have sill ranee of i hose of our readers, 'iv vet been able to supply with _..tons, in exchange for their tickets. A very /ew days, perhaps this day and to-morrow, will enable us to complete our engagements with them. Whilst doing this, we cannot neglect the duty which we owe to the public for the aid apprecia tion which they have shewn of our efforts to pro duce a first rat" work of art f u r th e i r acce pt ance , and the majority of those who have honoured us with their favours, for the goodhumour with which they hare borne the disappointments, which we have been compelled to inflict upon them, owing to tions of sale, or our power to supply the plates.

TUESDAY MORNING, AUG. 11, 1846 Our advertising columns announce this (1 gratifying fact that nearly the sum of £7400 has been av the already conti ibuted towards the erection of churches in the.four districts, formed in this town under Sir Robert Pee;'s act. We hail it as a promise of better things, for, were t le cuutrit► ions to stop s £20.000. some of those districts must lie left un- provided with church accommodation. NVe trust it as sufficient to make known the want, in order to call forth the Christian liherali y of our wealthier merchants. Two and thirty thousand of our poorer townsmen left without the means of public worship is an appalling fact, which we cannot believe will be permitted to continue. The only provision at pre sent for them is the small church of St. Simon's, where the ,Rev. J. Connor is indefatigably lehouring. hii constant exertions he his at Length obtt.ined • the larger portion of the funds nee ed for his new church. We trust the LiverpiA Church Building society will he ena;_ikl - to supply the deficiency. On looking over the sub3crption list we have missed some names which are usually' found as contributors with Liverpool. This can only he becauie the sub j'.!ct Ins not yet hen fully brought before them. 'We are awAre !hit some object to the patronage of the intended churches being vested in the Bishop of the diocese and the crown alternately. Aihnitting that these are reasonable grounds for their scruples, nqt sufficieht to prevent persons con- ey are fill tributing to such an object. the question of pa tronaite is a eery difficult one. As tar as concerns the testimony of H ply Scrirure, it will he found that the system which places it in the hands of the Bishop has most of scripture warrant. We read in Titus,•" For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou Shonlilest set in order the thing. , that are wanting ,and ordain elders in every city as I had appointed thee." There is here no mention of any other tieing con- cerned in the selection of those elders hut Titus. In the same manner, in Acts 14. 23, we read of Paul and Barnabas. " And when they bad ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to •he Lord on whom they believed." These are the principal, if not the only, passages in the new Testament which give us any direct information on the subject of the ;election of ministers for a particular congregation. While they do not command us to restrict patronage to the bi shops, they yet are abundantly sufficient to remove our scruples as to the lawfulness of confiding a por tion of i:, at least, to episcopal selection. The Go vernors being heathens when the new Testament - was written we could not expect to find anything in it on the stNect of royal patronage. But in the Old Testament we find +hat King '.'olomon removed Abiathan from being High Priest and put in Zadok In hiir,room. Ist Kings, 2 : 26, 35. David also re plated the courses of the priests in the temple ser vice in which he was imita7ed by the uninspired, ahhough pious Kin g Idezckian, of whom we read— " He set the Levites in the Elou4e of the Lord with cytnhols, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandmenr of David, and of Gad, the IKing's seer, and of Nathan the prophet, for so.was the commandment of the Lord by his prophets." fid Chronicles.. 2j : 25.

The • method of patrOnage most approved of, that of five trustees. Las 'much to recommend it; but its advocates should remember that it has net the shadow of Scriptural authority, at least directly. It is altogether a mo dern invention. Another consideration is worthy of notice which 113, that the various forms of patronage in this kingdom have greatly contributed to the correc tinn of : the evils incident to each. In how many instances has lay patronage been the means C introducing godly and devoted men into dioceses, where otherwise they would not have been tolerated ? We could name, also, • many examples in which the patronage of the Gown has been.the means of b!es;:ing many districts with men Of eminent piety. On the o; her hand, a painful list Of failures, in the exercise of trustee patronage, could he made out ; although, as a whole, it has been succesatnl in providing good ministers. Under all these considerations, we are mgt as.uming too much in hoping,►, that no scruples, on dh ! subject of e, w►ll deprive thiriv-two tholvand of our parronag townsmen of chu The bPershop, and places of will more abandoned Chdracter, are now destroying' their tens of thou• sands. Let Christian liberality p rivide the house of clod, and send the minister of Christ to bring the Vurifyinl power of his gospel to homes and hearts long left by to he the prey of the destroyer. We appeal especi illy to the activity of the clergy. We know the exlent of their influence, and we respect fully and earnestly call upon th,m to s'ir up - their vangregations to assist in 116; most important. effort. The Rev. Jonathan Brooks hrs been laboriously oc cupied in callintt personally upon tna , iy contribu tors, and has 'bus set a berom'-og example as one of the rectors of the parish of Liverpool.

We have given ekewhere tut abbreviated report of the proceedings at the dinner, flivin at Lynn, to the prittectionist leader, d G2orge lientinek, with that part of hi , address, n witch the future policy rind objects of hiA party is laid before the country.

'We . are behi n d none i n our a d tr i. a i on o f t h e manliness and the great ability disp . a:e I by Lord George, durin g his recent stand in iihtif of his or• tier and of the t ine i nterests of all classes of the Community. He has earned well the honor paio him by the noblemen, gentry, farmers, and others, assembled at Lynn. But w e cannot over l oo k t h e fact that we are en itled to r egar d hi s speech and the profession of his views of public policy, upon this occasion, as a hid for power on - the behalf of a ministry, proposed to be erected n oon the wre c k o f the Peel Conservative and the R 'hix and Radical {parties. His Lordship reminds us that himself and the Protectionist party it was. who overthrew the Government of Sir Robert Peel. We admit that it voured of the unnatural. The overthrow of the present Whig Cabinet is to be brought about by less objectionable means. The Protectionist party is to he rendered strong enough to act by themselves. The formation of a government is the next act of the drama, such government, we presume, Leing composed of leading agricultural members, with his Lordship himself holding, as he has shown himself led to ho , a prom►r gramme of future mc-isures, by a cu atesmln, so cir- ject well deserving of our anxious consideration. What, then, does Lord George Bentinck hold out to us ? What is the spell which is to conjure up the memory of past betrayals and to prostrate the rampant liberalism, whose ins lence those betrayals have rendered us careless, or incapable, of resisting? Is it to be merely " protection ? " An eight shilling duty in favour of British or Colonial grain, and a differential duty in favour of Colonial and free labour sugar ? My Lord, we require to know some thing more than this from the leader of a great party, and the future minister of a great country. The question of protection was, no doubt, one most interesting to an assembly, composec larties in- terested in the prosperity of native agriculture; but . it is not one which will raise the stones in the streets of our commercial town—which will incite the tenpnunders in our boroughs, or the labourers in our counties, to buckle on their armour of de fence against the ag.ret,sions of a party, which courts democrat.), wherever it is to be found, and however hitter may he its temper towards the valued institutions of the country. We denizens of towns have an upleasant remembrance of battles fought in behalf of the agricultural interest, which have been rt paid by scant gratitude—by inflictions upon our poor, of the tender mercies of the despots of Somerset-house—by betrayal of the cause of suffer ing factory children—by Maynooth grints, endow ments of Godless colleges, and apathy in many the people were involved. Lay down before us your policy as a whole. Do not confine your reve lations to the one idea of protection. We want something more comprehensive—more satisfying. It is miserable folly to imagine, as Lord George Bentinck seems to imagine, that it was their defec tion from .the cause of native agriculture which sapped the strength of the Peel ministry. That ministry was raised to power by the resistance of its members, whilst in opposition, to the appropriation clause and the Lichfield House compact of Lord Melbourne's government. The commercial propo sitions of that government were only the last drop, which c-mused the measure of their iniquities to over flow. Would a mere question of tree labour in su“ar or coffre have influenced the return of the powet ful phalanx of Conservatives who, in 1841. overthrew the Whig-R idicals, and placed Sir Ro bert Peel in office ? No. Yet that qoestion was the ostensible hinge of the movement. it is equally true, that neither.the repeal of the corn law.of 1.42, nor the prevention of assassination bill for Ireland, was the real cause of Sir Robert Peel's fall. It was a long and lamentable series of defec•ions from the maintenance of Protestant truth—a long and lamen table series of contemptuous denials of the right of the poor to Christian treatment, and of the la'iourer to legi.la(it'e consideration for his comfort and social and moral happiness—which alienated tram Sir Robert Peel the sympathies and respect of the real worth and wisdom of the empire. The stately oak is not prostrated at a blow. The strong pillar does not give way to the first impetus of the blast. The supports of each must he first withdrawn or weak ened ; and so it was w th the now defunct ministry. It had lost both its root and its supports in the hearts of the people; and it fell, we trust never to raise its apostate front, and again to delude a too confiding people. The gov rninent, which it is proposed by the pro tectionist party to erect, must - have even a more ex tensive basis of popular opiniim in their favrotr than that which was possessed by the government of Sir Robert Peel at the d..te of its first admission to power. The scarcity of administraive talent, and, ahore all, of parliamentary tactique, among,t the gentlemen of whom it is most likely to tie composed, will readily he admitted; and ►his weakness st he -eompeo.sited for hy,the moral atreogth of the nation exerted in its behalf. Do we find, however, in the views and known opinions of the gentlemen u.nally acting with Lord George Bentinck, the strong claims winch will lie required upon the res pect and confidence of th.l intelligible twisQes of the people ? Dj we find in the past conduct of soole of them a securit testant Est blishment in Ireland ? Are they pre pared to offer the means of religious education and church accommodation to our increasing popola tion—to lighten the toil of children in the factores —to wash their hands of the iniquity of the New Poor Law—to improve the social and physical con dition of the labouring masses—and to recognise boldly, the principle that the statesman kis to legis late for the welfare of the souls, as wed as of the bodies and the pockets, of the people? We fear much that here will be the shortcoming of the coun try party ; and we warn its members that, without some more iotehligtble anti distinct pledge, with res peCt to these matters, than the clun;ry have vet re ceived, their appeal to the bulk of the conqitnencies will be a vain one, anti their term of office, if office be attained by theta at all, will be miserably and emphatically brief. We a-kihetn, ton, to weigh the consequences of crisi, by professions, without a sincere resolve 10 •inn to the Liberal raTik4 of commanding talent, in Sir Robert Peel and his minis , erial supporters, combined with a leaden apathy in the people, caused by repeated disappointment of their just hopes and confidence in the statestnen of their own choice. There is, happily, a chance yet kit for the redemp ti bn of past errtirs,--!he prosi ect of a noble anti ful wand for the integrity of the institution,: country. But that stand must he made upon no such warow ground —no ti c h isolated question as that of protection to the industt y of the nation, excellent as is the prii:ciple of such protec tion. We have a religion to pre,erve, an estab ished &lurch to defend, oppressed and suffering was .es of our !mutilation t , ) raise from the dust, and to mid degra lation and tyranny; w I the nol have A lin with which we appear to have been entrusted hy Providen..e i which ha 7, raised the people of these islands so high in the scale of nation,,—i he desiiny of spreading abroad, by our example and influence, the hles, , ings of civilization and of the knowledge of God and his truth. Will Lord George Bentmck accept and prepare himself for this noble work ? If not, better for England that his arid, and those of his friends; are never pot to the helni of Rovern !tient. Another disappoirient of the jo,o, hopes of the people can rdy produce, first, a Whig dlct.oot ,hip, and when that can no longer he endured, anarchy and revolution. he Manchester Guardian, of Wednesday, re turns to the charge of, want of ciptirtesy towards the Mayor of that.town,lt the authorities of LiverpOol, in not transmitting earlier an invitation to the fes tivities in honour of the recent visit of Prince Albert. Our explanatiOn, he says, is " partly ritlicu , to 's, anti partly untrue," but he shall tell the how and wherefore " In 'be first place, it is absurd to say that an invitation the mavoi of MaiicheAter made, it ni.c. ss ry to extend e same eOttrte,y to any other mnhieipal offie-rs ; for 'ere is no other bornu t ati in the court y which stan•fs in ,e sam e relation to Livetpool as the borough of Alan- We mhnit readily the superior claims of Manchester, and that our neigi:bours have a rery proper sense of the importance of their town to the commerce of Liverpool. It. was acknowled t ied by the fact of . ihe name of the Mayor of Manchester occupying a place in tin; 11241 piaceu before nittee. We do not, however, at all r ecogn i se it xclusice claims to regard, still less the ground upon chic le corn- these claims are urged. We do not know hat the people of M inchemter contributed much to the erection of the :iiitors' Home, to lay the found - lion of which was one of the objects of the Royal vir•it, or that they have any great claim upon our corporate estate, from the funds of which air Fes ivities upon the occasion were provided. Witb iespect to the Albert Dock and warehouses, th(• opening of which was the other great object of the Prince's visit, we do not see the necessary connexion of the Mayor of Manchester with these either. The THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 'Manchester merchants and spinners pay the dock dues, it is true, upon the produce which they im port; and we, as exporters of their fabrics, and the world at large, as consumers, reimburse them. Our contemporary goes on:— " Hut even supposing that all the corporations in South Lincashire had been honoured by invitations to their chief offpets, there would have been but f ur Tonal guests, for whom surely spice could have been found. We do not believe this part of the explanation : and cur in• credulity is strengthened by what we know to be a gross unis-watement in a suh.equeut passige. The Standard I apply to the mayor of Manchester for the service.' of a party of police, availed himself of that opportunity to for- day ; a second on Monday; and a third, by or through S.r Thomas Arbuthnot, on '1 uesday ; hut, none of these was accompanied by an invi ation. That, Et we tuive al- rrady stated, came to hand on Wed. en day afternoon,— )efior F e banqu. t,—a e aftercoon of the We lre not aware that we said any thing about "South Lancashire," and, the plaining cry of its mayors, "we are only four," does nut affect our remarks. We do not even see, if the possession of official dignity was to regulate the matter, how we could even refuse to go into the neighbouring county and T ass over the Mayors of Chester. Stock port, &c. With respect to our reason why the in vitation was at length sent, the Guardian forgets to tell the public that the applications for police, re ceived on Sunday and Monday, were refused, for what reason we know not. We should imagine that the peace of Manchester is not dependent upon fifty men in blue or green coats. The application of Tuesday, backed by Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, was more favourably received; and then, the authorities of Manchester havi ,-, g shown some little neighbourly feeling, the invitation was promptly forwarded. What pretext could the committee have had for in viting a functionary, who would not ob!isie them in the small matter which was requested of him? Again : "The Standard girt's some explanalons respee!ing the inviiati,,n t , .) the dig. titer, which ae do not very clearly underst,nd ; but be says nothing about the very oriminal idea of glint a man out of bed at Manchester. late at night, to receive an Intitatitm lo breaklaid at Dverpoof 4 . fowl morning ; and, pruhab;y, the le e s tie says uou the ' ' eurjoct the better." I THE-MAYOR AND THE RXDICAL PRESS Our eonteTporary the Albion hai been again drawine upon his iniagitrition for fii4 ts. in his eagerness to hilt - at. the Mayor of Liverpool in the estimation of the public. As on th s occasion he has indulged in what Shakespere calls the " fib circumstantial," we shall be able to lay be fore cur rtaders the wretched and dishonest shifts to which political and personal nialevo drives men. We shall first quote his cha!ge— le , nce sometimes rest of his brethren Town-ball, was pr 3e : ng present on tha ,n invitation to the banquet at the .rated by his duty on board from ive occasion Atu,da heard from hi , 4 brother officers such a dei.eription of c the beauty of the edifice, that he determined, before he Liverpool af company him, lie proceeded to the Town - hall, and sent his card in to the Mayor, with a message. stating that du'y had prevented hini from attending the banquet, but he was exceedingly desi ous of viewing the apartments, &c., if his worship would grant him permission. Refusal was not for a moment ant e'pated ; and the surprise of the gentlemen n , av be conceived, when a reply came from the Mayor, that l►e had given orders that the hall was not to be shown to any person, and he could make no excep tions." What is there to complain of here, we ask, even on the Albion's own showing? Toe mums at the Town-hall oseti, and not in a tit state to be shear(' to stranzer, the men being at the time in the midst of removal. The 111.tyor had given orders that they were not to be so sit , wo ; and it was not tieceto•ary even that hii worship Nhould have bail any request for admiss i on conNev,d to him. This wEri dine. howevtr, in rowtrt mem to the service t, which the applicant said, no tkuht Were c correctly, that he help, gel ; awl the reply sent back was most courtenus, and expressive of his regret that circum stances made compliance impossible. But the fact is not correctly represented. The gen•le man—a piling man about twenty years of age—sent in no card, bet merely gave his mune as Mr. Hare, or Acres, of the royal yacht. He was in plain clothes ; and his companion, bring unkri , wri to any of the Towohall people, Avres might es easily have been J , lm Snooks or Toni Sttlea as any other verso'. We proceed, however, situ) our emitemi.orary :—" The other bought there must be some mistake. lie theref •ra I cemsted toe attendant to inform the mayor that he was e stranger; that hr was about to d- part front Liverpool at two n'e;oek w•th the roy 41 yacht; and that, if his worship would do him the favnur to permit him to see the building before he re-em barked, the kindness would be duly appreciated. The mayor simply repeated his termer message, that he had given hisorders, and could no , make any excepti , ns. Toe ffieer, who had been loud and feivetit in h's expressions plret,nre at the rottresies which he Hai his friends on board had received fiom the peoule of Lite rpool, turned from the hall with a very different interentsion of their chief maeistrate." We have the best authority for stating that the whole of this story, about a sec on I application being made and the rnavor h , ving "simply repeated h's fotrner message," is a debb-rate invention. We give the conc. tid frig paragraph of the attack , "On his arrival at the rival yacht, he 'mind some ladies there on a visit of inswe ion. The gentlemen who had accompanied him t. the Town-hall, no sooner saw them than he said. this is rather simndar : those The Guardian understands our replrwith respect to this matter clearly enough. One of the grounds of the Mayor's refusal of the invitation to the thjeuner was, that it contained no voucher as to the authority, of the party sending it., to invite. We di-posed of that ridiculous plea by stating that the ticket. bore on the face of it the seal of the D , ck chairman, and was dated from the Dock-office. The late period of the invitation we acknowledge to be unfortunate. It is a pity that out of forty or more tnembers of the Dock Committee, and sixty four members of the Council, to all of whom a large supply of tickets was given for Ifistribution, not one remembered that there was such a personage in being as the Mayor of Manchester. That the chair man and the coir.mittee intrusted wilt the arrange ment of the proceedings were alike forgetful, the onerous nature of their duties for many weeks previous to the occasion ought to be an excuse to any considerate man. That " the less we say upon the subject the better," is probably true. We should tire the public, who are laughing heartily at the exhibition, on the part of Manchestet's Mayor, of a piece of silliness, ac ridiculous as Would he the pet of Miss A., or 8., or C., or any other respectable maiden lady, because Miss ll.'s tea was sweetened first, or Miss E.'s muffin was better buttered. Men, and Mayors, ought to have more sense than to take °Knee at such trifles.

The attendance of buyers being good, the finest parcels commanded a steady sale, at fully, in some instances, a trifle beyond the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight, while in the middling and inferior kinds, a fair average amount of husine4s was passing, at late rates.

Several samples of new English Barley was on show, but the quality was very indifferent. The best old grinding parcels were quite as dear, but all other kinds were neglected. Superfine white Malt supported late rates; in all other kinds very few sales were concluded. Although we lind an immense quantity of free foreign Oats on offer (the quality of which was inferior), the demand for English was steady, and prices were well maintained.
