A DDITIONAL TESTIMONIAL of the valuable lmedicinal properties of FRAMPTON'S PILL O,F HEALTH forwarded to Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, from W. Smith, Esq.:— " 13, St. Mark's-terrace, West Brompton, London, lth May., 1852. L Sir,—Ten years ago I wag induced to give you my opinion, founded on experience of the merits of Frampton's Pill of Health. I am pleased at your having published that plain statement, by which I hope others haveteen induced to try so effective a medicine. " Anxious cares and the neglec my old tried friend during the early part of this year ha roduced symptoms of uneasi ness which I found it pru tno longer to neglect; and lam delighted to say that afe oses of the pills, under the blessing of divine providence, removed, and I am again as well as I ever was in nay life " Please forward me the usual supply of half a dozen family boxes, which I may safely term my medicine chest for self and family; and I hold it a duty to omit no opportunity of thus giving to you proofs of my experience of the valuable proper ties of this medicine. " W.st. SMITH. These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all Obstructions of the Urinary Passages; and, if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose, Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject toklead ache, Giddiness, Drowsiness. and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use.

THE debate on the Income Tax, after three ad journments, was resumed last night, and had not concluded when we went to press with our 'First Edition. The division, it was expected, would take place this morning. it will be observed that the integrity of the Budget=has been already dcstroyed, as Mr. GLi . insToNE has promised to re-consider his new licensing scheme. Re•consideration may do much for other parts of it. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARA TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1853. country, if her resources were properly developed under Imperial Government. Experience has proved that her industry has been fettered and her revenue swallowed up in enormous expenditure under the present system ; and yet, in the teeth of such glaring facts, and that India has been used merely as the milch cow for the East India Com pany, and the innumerable nominees of the twenty four Directors, the Government have coolly pro posed to renew the present system for another period of twenty years, with some partial modifica tions, just to appease the most forward clamourers for redress. It is time to awaken to a sense of the injustice committed, and the advantages from which the commerce of England is debarred. ;Manchester sees looming in the distance a source of supply for raw Cotton which may render her more independent of the slave-produced Cotton of the United States. Liverpool may also see a demand for her Shipping trade, which will render even the acquisition of the Birkenhead Docks in sufficient for her requirements; and England may look forward to a source of revenue which may make the task of a future CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER one in which there will be all sun shine. The amount at stake is too important to be left to Ministerial capacity or integrity, and an India Reform Society has been established with a view of bringing public opinion to bear on the Im perial Parliament, so as to obtain due attention to the complaints and claims of the inhabitants of that vast empire. The Society has not been slothful. They have already published a pamphlet on "The Government of India since 1834," another has just appeared on "The Finances of India," and third entitled " India, by Dr. Buxsp," while a fourth is announced on " The Native States of India ;" so that want of information cannot be pleaded as an excuse for supporting the Ministerial measure. The East India Company has performed its task — it has reaped a rich harvest, and provided for all its kith and kin ; and it is now time that the country at large shared in the advantages of the acquisition. WHO ARE THE CONSERVATIVES ? THERE was a time, and that not long since, when the assembly of Constitutional Representatives of the public voice presented a tangible distinction between those who would preserve the principles of our time-honoured institutions in Church and State, and the party whoee sole object was change, no matter at what hazard. It was said, and truly so, that the battle of the Constitution was to be fought in the Registration Courts; and when we call to mind the exertions which have been used, and the sacrifices which have been made, we may fairly ask for the fruits of the hard-fought contest. When the Earl of DERMY was called upon to rescue the country from the difficulties into which it had been plunged through Whig-Radical incapacity, he made an appeal to the country, and the response left no doubt as to the result, if the professions of public men were to be trusted. Alas ! for faith in politi cians. The lEELITE section, who had avowed their Conservatism in everything but free trade in corn, were ungratified in their 'personal ambition, and, deeming it " better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven," ‘revenged their mortification by going over to their hereditary foes, and throwing all their weight into the scale against a really able and con stitutional 'Ministry. Even then the Conservatives . presented a powerful minority, superior to any other party in the House, and all but equal to the whole of the factions combined. But where are they now, that Lord `Jvxrr RUSSELL should be able to com mand majorities even when the 'Burnish Brigade, who, like the ishmaelites of old, have their hand against every man, are no longer in league with them ? There are too many who love to bask in the sunshine of the powers that be, and salve their consciences with looking only at Lord ABERDEEN'S , Conservative professions, while they blind them -selves to his -Radical acts. His policy has been essentially one of Liberalism, and yet the plausible `Budget of his CaaANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER receives the support of some pretended Conser vatives, as though they believed that the Cabinet , really contained -" all the talents," and that the • Government of the country was impossible without their continuance in office. It is this halting between two opinions which constitutes the real danger of the Empire, and its best and dearest interests will be-frittered away, because some few, who owe their seats in Parliament to the votes of .Conservative electore, carry out their mere private opinions on particular questions, instead of firmly ,uniting with the party which they were sent into the Legislature expressly to support. The great object to be gained is not the success of this or that particular measure, but the ascendancy of Conser vative principles, and success will not be achieved unless those who profess these principles combine as resolutely for a good cause as their opponents do for a bad one. They might take a useful lesson from the Radicals, who surrender individual crotchets for the general advantage of their party; but there are too many on the Conservative side r: ho seem as ready to vote for their foes as for their 'riends. Much of this has, no doubt, been induced by the political treachery of •the late Sir ROBERT PEB„ which weakened confidence in public men ; but,it is time that the Conservatives were aroused to a sense of the danger, or they may find, when too late, that the whole political power has been surrendered into the hands of those who will use it for the .subversion cf all our constitutional safe guards against Democratic innovations, and for the gratification of their owl). personal.arnbition. MR. GLADSTONE AND THE PRESS. THE more consideration is given to the proposal of the CHArscal.l4o2t of the ENn-_ - :IIEQUER to make but .a partial reduction of the Advertisement Duty, and rdbolish the Stamp on Newspaper Supplements con taining only advertisements, tie more gluing appears its enormity. Whatever may be said about Ministerial honour and the independence of tke Times, the transaction is :clearly and unmistakeably a purchase of the support of the latter to the pre sent mongrel Cabinet, and the bribe is earned in the unblushing advocacy of Ministerial measures. It is well known that the Times is the only paper which publishes supplements containing only advertise ments, and forthe simple reason that advertisers, who have a keen eye to their own interests, will not pay for the insertion of their announcements in sheets which would seldom be read ; so that the Press generally will be debarred from an advantage to be enjoyed by the paper which already possesses the largest amount. It has been computed that the pecuniary benefits to the leading journal will amount to at least £40,000 a-year, at a loss to the Revenue of fully half that amount, after deducting the Adver tisement Duty retained. On the other hand, the saving to the Revenue, by not repealing the whole of the Advertisement Duty, will be £60,000 a-year ; so that this latter sum is to remain as a charge upon the whole Press of England, in order that one paper, for its unscrupulous advocacy of the Government, may receive to the extent of two-thirds of the amount. This is not a question of individual rivalry, but one in which the whole community have an interest. It is practically the legalization of a monopoly by those who are professing Free-trade, i and an alteration of this portion of the Budget' should be firmly insisted upon. The House of Commons has already voted by a majority for the repeal of the whole duty, and nothing less will satisfy the justice of the case. The difference in loss to the Revenue will be but £6o,ooo—a sum too small to demand the continuance of a NATIONAL EDUCATION. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, in his new scheme for extending the system of National Education, has met with an opponent in-one of the most consistent of his supporters. Mr. EDWARD RAIN ES, of Leeds, who h as taken great interest in this question, has published an elaborate pamphlet, entitled " Strictures on the new Government Measure of Education;" in which he makes the following grave objections to the bill. He says that it will be un necessary., inasmuch ,as the number of day-scholars now receiving education approach very near the proportion demanded by most writers on the statistics of education; that in large towns the school accommodation is - more ample than the number of scholars ; and that, in the present state of employment, they need no greater help than they are now receiving.. 'lt would also be an unnecessary enhancement of the cost of education ; it ltould centralize too much power in the Committee of Privy Council, :produce unseemly contentions in Town Councils, diminish the present amount of voluntary -aid, drive out all private teachers for the humbler classes, have no tendency to increase ..the number of scholars, and might possibly destroy many local sehoole,. These and many other reasons he advances as arguments against Lord JOMT RUSSELL'S etherne,,and, it must be confessed, they are entitled to some, weight, as coming from a man who has paid great attention to the subject. He estimates the probable . coat of these schools at not less than £3,000;0017, 1 , of vhich about £2,000,000 would require to he raised by addition.al taxation ; so that, supposing his calculations to be.correct, the ..country will be able to form-some idea of,what they w:11 have to pay, in addition to -present -voluntary contributions, towards an object which Mr.JSAINEs . contends is already eigeientlyperformed. '.he next step will be to follow the Spartan rule, and make All-education at the expense of-the State. .GOVERNMENT ,OF JNDIA. Irr•may be considered a political axiom, that a Whig or itteral is never to be trusted ,for adherence - to principle. as his acts are solely governed by expe-: daency, or.the interests of himself or his party. It is never a i matter of the slightest consequence to do right, , becang.e it is right; but the only motive for action is the exigency of the moment, and the chance of . gaming a parliamentary majority or securing a party 2dvantage. Such was the case in 1841, when a 'Whig CHANCELLOR of the EN,e lle _._ QUER had his fair and his foul-weather Budgets , such was the case when, to redress the grievance of the Romish aggression, Lord JOHN RI:gSELL had a set of bills of varying degrees of strength, according to the temper of the House of Com. mons ; and such will be the case in the contem plated bill for settling the Government of India. It will be observed that a promise has been given that on some future day a time shall be named at which the proposed measure will be brought forward, leaving the Government in the mean. time to shape their proposal according to their pre. sumed chances of success. In this, as in every thing else, there is the same truckling to expe diency, and principles are thrown to the wind if they militate against the retention of office. In domestic policy we have the loudest professions of adherence to the Free-trade theory, or as much as suits the purpose of the moment; whereas the Empire of India, with its vast resources and its immense capabilities, is to be continued under a petty monopoly for the maintenance of private patronage, unless Ministerial intentions, as already avowed, be thwarted by the expression of public indignation. It is worse than inconsistency in the champions of Free-trade at home to vote for India being retained under the rule of the petty magnates of Leadenhall-street—a monopoly more complete in its character and more baleful in its effects than the worst doings of much-abused Toryism in England. All impartial writers on the subject have agreed that India would be a mine of wealth to the mother restriction which destroys all the grace of the boon, and renders still necessary the interference of the tax-gatherer. The repeal of the stamp duty on advertisement supplements must also be withdrawn, as it is a boon of which, at present, only one newspaper can take advantage, and which, as a partial boon, is unjust to all others. Besides, if the increase of advertisements requires the printing of a supplement, it also provides a fund out of which to hear the cost ; but by retaining the sixpence on advertisements, all papers have to pay, and those who can best afford it have the saving. The advertisement which represents the public must, therefore, be free, and the supplement which represents the wealthy proprietor must con tinue to hear the stamp. This is simply a demand for justice, and of so obvious a character that our Representatives will not be doing their duty unless they insist on its teing conceded. We can imagine the semblance of an excuse for such a preference, had the Times been really what it professes,—the unflinching advocate of English interests ; but, true to its title, its politics and its principles have been as versatile as the fickle breath of popular favour. It hunted the late KING of HANOVER with reitera tion of the foulest slanders ; it libelled the late QUEEN ADELAIDE with the well-remembered slander, " The Queen has done it . all ;" it was Conservative when the late Sir ROBERT PEEL was in the ascendant; it became Liberal when Lord JOHN RUSSELL succeeded him; it truckled to the DERBY Cabinet for a preference, which, being refused, provoked its enmity ; it laboured unceas ingly to provoke a war with France by repeated attacks upon Louis NAPOLEON ; and its changes of opinion are so notorious that its large circulation is chiefly owing to so many persons liking to read both sides of a question. It has been by turns the champion of high Toryism and ultra Radicalism, and, always desirous to court Ministerial favour, has at length found the highest bidder in the immacu late Mr. GLADSTONE, at a price which is patent to all the world. The public should be able now to appreciate its advocacy of the Budget at its full worth, but Parliament will be oblivious of its mani fest duty if it allows the price to be paid. STEAM TO AL ST RALIA. THE repeated failures of the Australian Steam Navigation Company to perform their contract with the Government for the conveyance of the Mails has led to the withdrawal of the engagement, and the Government intend to avail themselves of the ordinary passenger-ships, by making short con tracts from month to month. The rapid passage to and fro of the Marco Polo and other sailing vessels led to the conviction that the advantages of steam had not been made apparent ; and though, as in the case of the Great Britain, the delay was shown to have arisen from imperfecr arrangements as to the supply of coal, the problem of comparative supe riority has yet to be solved. This is further con firmed by the arrival, on Thursday, at Portsmouth, of the sailing vessel Vimiera, from Sydney, in 83 days, having beaten the steamer Sarah Sands, which left two days previously; so that the Govern ment appear to be fully justified in putting an end to an engagement which promised no advantages to the public service, either in speed or safety. It was an opportunity which was readily seized, owing to the fact that the existing contracts for the packet service amount to about £BOO,OOO a-year, which the Government were anxious to reduce; but the evidence at present obtained is by no means con clusive, nor can the imperfections of the Australian Company's boats he considered as any test of the capabilities of such steam-vessels as Liverpool can dispatch on this voyage. When the Great Britain and other steamers from this port—for in this respect also Liverpool has greatly the superiority— shall be again sent out, and the arrangements for coaling are complete, we may look to see the distance between Australia and this country per formed in a much shorter time than has hitherto been accomplished. While, however, the Government were fully jus tified in putting an end to the contract with the Australian Company, from the manifest incapacity of the latter to perform its engagements, there is no ground for assuming that the other contracts for the Postoffice Packet Service are such improvident arrangements as Viscount CANNING attempted to make it appear. When we view the magnificen t fleets of powerful steamers belonging to the CUNARD line, and the several other companies performing this service to various parts of the world, the only conclusion is—that the public money was never voted for a better purpose, nor more real economy practised ; as, to the establishment of these lines of steam-ships may be chiefly attributed the great in crease of commerce which has taken place within the last few years. DR. M`NEILE AND PRIEST POWER. WE need not invite the attention of our readers to the following letters. They will remember the letter from Dr. NI`NEILE to the Priest, which ap peared in our columns last week. It fastened with JAEL-like precision the nail which the Reverend Doctor's former letter had pointed. The Priest published what cannot be called a reply, and has thereby elicited a rejoinder. Here they are ; and the contrast is all that the most sincere lovers of truth, and the most ardent admirers of Dr. WN EI LE could desire. When will the intelligent Roman Catholic laity, if there be such, exercise the prero gatives of reasonable beings, and cease to be the dupes of designing men ? There is no phenomenon of our common nature more extraordinary, or more humiliating, than the inveterate hold which preju dice or superstition maintains on the mind, in de fiance of convincing arguments, and the plainest deductions of reason. PRIEST POWER TO THE REV. DR. 111`NEILE. SIR,—You appear to be deeply mortified at my pro. longed silence. If you desire to hear the simple truth, believe me the reason why your previous letter to me was suffered to pass unnoticed is, because I neither consider you in your public capacity, nor the fruits of your pen, of such importance as to deserve my attention. The same motive will induce me to pay a similar mark of respect to any future literary production which your sincere and dis interested zeal for my spiritual welfare may prompt you to dictate to me. You assure me that many copies of your first gratuitous epistle to me have been distributed. That does not in the least excite my surprise, much less cause any feeling of uneasiness or apprehension. You have never yet been accused of neglecting your own in terests. The more copies of it that are circulated, the greater will be the boon conferred on the community.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., PIERCE POWER. 20, Park. place, April 26th, 1853. DR. WNEILE'S THIRD LETTER TO PRIEST POWER. SIR,—So, you have spoken ! btt I am sorry to say not to the purpose—enough to betray your temper, but not enough to defend your can=e—enough to attempt an eva sion of the argument, but not enough to attempt th e enlightenment or conviction of your adversary. I might be excused if I took no notice of your letter, considering what it is ; and in the eyes of the world around I would be fully excused. Repeatedly, indeed, since its publication, the remark has been made to me, " the Priest's letter is too contemptible to deserve an answer." I think so too. But, then, I could not excuse myself, were I to treat you as you deserve. I am not, I hope, so devoid of the sympathy of Him who came " to seek and to save that which was lost," as to turn away from you in unconcern. I am grieved to think that a man, professing to be a teacher of the religion of Christ, should avow himself so u tterly destitute of the mind of Ch r i st, as to be uncon cerned about any one ; that a professed Prieit of the Catholic Church should be so dead to the high obligations of his boasted mission:as to tells man, whom he considers a heretic, that he is not of such importance as to deserve his attention ; that an avowed advocate of the charity, which thinketh no evil, should insinuate a charge of in terested hypocrisy, of which he dare not, because he cannot, attempt the slightest shadow of proof. We of the OLD and true Church of Christ have not so learned Christianity. An inspired Apostle has said, " being defamed, we entreat." I desire to be found among those who are successors of the Apostles, not in time only, but in character ; and, therefore, I entreat you to consider your false position. I am not afraid of being treated with scorn, in return for anxiety to do good. My tender loving Lord was so treated Himself, and the servant is not above his master. I would consider any patience, any argument, any persuasion, any forbear ance, any condescension which I could exercise towards you, as more than rewarded, if I could be of use to your precious immortal soul for which Christ died. What have written to you is either true or false. The question' of comparative antiquity is not one of opinion, but of facts and dates. I have given you facts and dates. If you can prove them inaccurate, I will acknowledge my mistake. If what I have written to you be true, then, you are in the awful condition of a man spending his life in mislead ing his fellow men : taking advantage of their ignorance to teach them that what is old is new, and that what is new is old ; calling evil good, and good evil ; putting dark ness for light, and light for darkness ; bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Of such, the word of God pronounces, with appalling solemnity, woe, woe unto them ! If what I have written to you be false, then, you are in the disgraceful, as well as dangerous, position of a watch-. man who has forsaken his post—a soldier who has de serted his colours : your very citadel is assailed, and, instead of having recourse to the Sword of the Spirit, and fighting the good fight of faith, you are endeavouring to hide the real faithlessness of a deserter behind the assumed superiority of an impregnable pre-eminence. Oh ! Sir, let me return your affectation of contempt with the reality of brotherly kindness and sincere concern, and let me remind you of the fearful hardening of heart inse parable from perseverance in any way known and felt to be indefensible. If you believed yourself— if you had confi dence of heart in what you teach and practise, you would at least attempt to defend it. Better be beaten in an honest fight, than dishonestly pretend to a victory. Even your own poor people, ignorant as most of them are, will see through your flimsy pretence, and require something more at your hands. Affected dignity has been long the convenient plea of impotence ; but neither its loftiness nor its trappings can any longer conceal its weakness. With all the help which you might have had in two months from all the Priests and Bishops of Rome, who have intruded themselves into this realm of England, you can't (you say you won't, and I. am sure you won't ; but it is because, and only because, you can't) shew that the Creed to which you are sworn, was ever sworn to, or even known, as a Creed, before the year 1561. And, yet, you will go on teaching it as the OLD Creed of the holy Catholic Apos tolic Church' If you say nothing in defence of its an tiquity, I shall be obliged to address your people, and remind them of what our Saviour said about blind guides, and those who follow them, as I now affectionately (don't mock at it, for I feel it) remind you of what an enlightened and eloquent disciple of our Saviour said about an unfaithful or unskilful pilot—" He perishes with the misguided vessel ; but he is denied the privilege of perishing alone. His profession and his position bare involved a whole crew in his ruin." I have time for no more at present, but to subscribe myself, in all sincerity and earnestness, a lover of your soul and a Protester against your new creed. HUGH 114 NEILE. Aigburth, 2nd Miv, 1853. MODEL STEAMER FOR THE DUBLIN GREAT EXHIBITION. ON Saturday we had the opportunity of inspecting a beautiful model steamer, prepared under the superinten dence of Mr. Clarke, jun., of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, for the Dublin Exhibition, whither it: will be sent in a few days. It has been constructed in every particular on the scale of a square half-inch to the foot; carries a figure-head representing the Countess St. Germans, whose name she bears ; is fitted with Trotman's patent anchors manufactured by Wood Brothers, Liver pool ; the patent windlass, by the same makers ; winches at each mast for hoisting cargo and for general purposes ; binnacles, with Liliputian compasses, by Mr. Chadbourne. of Lord-street, in perfect working order; life-boats and a gig of beautiful model ; hawsers coiled ready for use; Commander Fayrer's patent steering-wheel, with the break, all perfect, manufactured by Marts Brothers, of this town ; life-buoys, and flags, made according to scale. The figure-head is a bold and graceful work, executed by Messrs. Hammond and Kenwright, and the name is painted on a new Scotch pattern, which is exceedingly neat. The bow-lights are at a perfect angle, and the lamps are trimmed from the inside, so that, if a sea breaks over them, they are safe. The fire-buckets, ar ranged in the simplest order possible upon the platform, land can be got at easily whenever they are required. • The platform is constructed so as to give every accommo dation to the captain and crew, and at the same time to send a plentiful supply of air down the engine hatch. There is a brass rule all round the vessel, which forms a chaste and effective ornament. There is a comfortable saloon on deck, an improvement in the Channel packets which we have no doubt will be introduced in future into every vessel made for the Dublin Company. In the summer time passengers like to dine o.s deck, so that they may be removed from the sultry sleeping rooms below, and those passengers who are suffering from the effects of the passage. The rigging is as perfect as if made for actual service, and the splicings have especially excited the admiration of nautical men. The model is being fitted with everything appertaining to a comfortable steamer, and all the work has been done with the greatest nicety and exactness. No expense has been spared, and the result is the production of one of the smallest and most complete models. A. vessel built, according to the scale of a square foot to half a square inch, would be about 900 tons burthen, 236 feet long, and 350 horse-power. The model is represented as in the Graving-dock, and on the blocks. The blue Peter has just been hoisted, as the signal for the ship going out to make her trial trip. The dimensions of the model are : length, 10ft. Gin. ; extreme width, over the paddle-box, 2 1 t. tin. She is fitted with patent paddle wheels, which, acting on the water verti cally, prevent any back water from being carried round. The bulwarks are made of satin wood, in imitation of oak, and are very highly polished. The platform is made of oak. The model will be covered with plate glass, and so placed in class eight of the Dublin Ex hibition. We believe that an excellent place has been assigned it, at the top of the grand centre staircase, and that it will enjoy an excellent light. The rig of the steamer, we may mention, is that of a three-masted schooner, the most useful, it is found, in these fast times. Several. members of the 'Dock Committee, and many nautical gentlemen have inspected it, and pronounce it the finest thing of the sort ever produced. The amount of labour and ingenuity expended in its execution may be estimated by the fact, that the model at first occupied two years in its completion ; and that three months have n ow b een expended in finally fitting it for the approaching Ex hibition. As to its ultimate destination, we hope that this model will be returned to Liverpool, and that the necessary measures may be adopted to have it placed in some one of our public buildings, as an ornament emi nently appropriate in a Liverpool institution, and well worthy of a place in our finest public rooms. NEW CHURCH AND SCHOOLS. OUR advertising columns contain the announcement that, after several years of delay, a new church is about to be erected to meet the requirements of the populous and irreligious district of Vauxhall. It is one of the four new parishes in Liverpool, and its incumbent, who is desirous to remain connected with it till every re.quire ment is fairly met, has brought its condition before the public reratedly. The Church Building Society have surely " bided their time," and, though other objects of interest are before the pub'ic, there can be none more pressing. The same e ff or t sec ures a secondary object of inferior, but still of very great importance, the erection of schools in the district. The appeal of Archdeacon BROOKS is well-timed and wisely expressed, and we have no doubt will meet with a suitable response. Several have shown great liberality; but there are very many others who ought to be equally prompt in so good a work. whose names we are certain will appear by and by. THE LANCASHIRE HUSSARS are expected in South ' port to-day. THE DEAD BODY OF A CHILD was discovered yester.
