NEW CHURCH IN LEIGH, LANCASHIRE. Al' a PUBLIC MEETING of the Ptaishioners of Leigh, held in the Town-hall, on MONDAY, the 15th March, 1852, JAMES POWNALL, Esq., in the chair, it was unanimously resolved, that a SUBSCRIPTION be OPENED, for, the purpose of ERECTING and ENDOWING a NEW CHURCH, to meet the peculiar and urgeht wants of the popu lous parish of Leigh; and a Committee Vas appointed to carry out the resolution. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1853. the celebrated writer of the Protestant letter to the BISHOP OF DURHAM, which excited so much Romanist rancour. But the arguments upon which the Ministerial Leader of the House of Commons based his opposition to the measure, form one of the most singular features in the discussion; for while they evidence the consummate tact for which he is notorious, they afford a proof of that utter destitu tion of principle, and that base truckling to expe diency which have always thrown suspicion upon his professions, and rendered a Liberal Government the most dangerous enemy to English liberty. The ex perience of history is all to go for nothing,--the most glaring instances of tyranny and intimidation, for the basest purposes, are altogether disregarded. Lord Joni.; RUSSELL has only one object in view—to maintain a Parliamentary majority by the aid of the Romish Brigade, whose price he can so well ascertain —and he would not believe that our Romanist fellow-subjects were soindifferent to political freedom and so destitute of the feelings of humanity, that they would willingly see our laws set at nought, and lend no assistance towards the liberation of their own relations. Ile may be quite right, but his arguments are altogether wide of the question. We believe with him that our fellow-subjects who profess the Itomish religion, may be as -zeal ous as ourselves in defence of their personal liberties, but they are the victims in the - matter, and reqtrire that assistance from the legislature which they are unable to 'obtain for themselves, and which a Liberal Government has, -as far as it could, refused to give them. The real offenders are not our fellow-subjects, but crafty and tyrannical priests, who own no allegiance but to the BISHOP dF ROME, and who do not attempt "to defend their position but upon the absurd 'plea of spiritual authority, which is made the instrument of the most grinding despotism •the world ever saw. it 'may be said, and - indeed it is assumed by the pro iessing Liberals 'who joined the Minister 'in his ineffectual opposition, that such a measure 'is a gratuitous insult, inasmuch as it has not been called for by 'those for whose benefit it 'has been proposed. Their helplessness in this respect con stitutes the , necessity 'for the enactment. `Such an argument 'might with equal force have been applied to 'the bill for the protection of women and young persons engaged in mining operations and children employed in factories. Their parents would never 'have demanded a restriction against the means by which' hey gratified 'their cupidity at 'the expense of their helpless b'Espring, but the 'humanity of the Legislature 'interfered, and, unasked, threw the shield Aif tits protection over those whose ' , very weakness, and inability, 'to demand a 'remedy constituted the strongest grounds for its - being granted. " - So in this case,' the - pitiable' victims immured .in'Nutinsries hare no power to avail themselves of therboasted privilege of habeas corpus,'nor even' to make 'known their griefs, and so long as they and theirs remain under that spiritual - thraldom, that' shrv. ish superstition 'which is the stronghold of Ronri4l influence, their groans are unheard, their sorrows unredressed, and 'they becomestence the victime.amd the instruments of their own'degradation, -unless the strong arm of the law be interposed to rescue them from perpetual 'imprisonment, :and restore to them their birth right of - light arid liberty. It is a • Shame that—with' the exception- -of - pain and Portugal, which are sunk in the lowestldepths of mental de- gradation—:-Protestant • England is the only -country in Europe , where Nunneries are permitted to rzist without thez pale of. legal supervision ; that—with the exception of Turkey•—;:-England is the -only country *here thelesuits are .permitted to practise their nefarious.arts unchecked; and yet itie , for the maintenance of such a system that the pseudo Pro testant Lord' k RUSSELL iS found exhausting his ingenious sophistry, and lending all the weight of his ministerial influence. 'Will Englishmen, and especially the liberty-loving • Radicals, never have their eyes open to the folly .of which they are guilty in supporting t the present .' , Administration, 'that heterogeneous (-compound of -.pretended ' Liberals, renegade Conservatives, ultrd Puseyites, add avowed Romanistg? ;Principles have been thrown to the winds, but -we have the satisfaction of being Able to record • the fact that, through the votes of the Conservatives and -some few liginisterialists,, who had more ;honour -than their : leaders, the motion •was carried •by a respectable; 'majority, in spite of the eombinationagainst it. L lAnE - NT A. , R>Y GONS P I RION: BRIBING 'THE.IRISH MEMBERS. 'I T is not long -since a eharge,was openly made against some of thetleading members of the Whig - section of the Cabinet, of -having induced the Irish members to vote against Mr. , D,ISRAZLI'S Budget, which proposed to extend theincotne-tax to Ireland, . upon the implied promise that the succeeding Minis try would retain the exemption of Ireland from the impost. Upon this -charge being repeated in the House of Commons, the truth of it was distinctly and emphatically deniad both by Lord . JOHN Rus sm.', and by Mr. attrErat, the Whig-Radical whipper-in, and for a time -the public, who were unaware, of the casuistry of ,parliamentary denials, believed-the whole charge to le a malicious sknder. From a conversation, however, which took place in the House .of Commons, on 'Thursday last, the statement appears to be not altogether without foundation. Several of the Irish members gave their own version of the conversations on the sub ject which had taken place, and which Mr. HAYTER did not deny; and though it was admitted that the statements made by the supposed representative of the Whig-Radical party did not amount to an actual engagement, enough was said to lead the Irish members to the belief that such was intended, and several of them avowed that they gave their votes against Mr. DrsnaELT's Budget, because they distinctly understood one of their own body to say, that he had authority to state that, if the effect of the votes of Irish members were to throw out Lord DERBY'S Government, in the event of a Whig Government coming into office, the Income-tax would not be extended to Ireland, Admitting this account to be true, it displays a treachery on the part of the Whigs . :of which even their enemies hardly believed them to be capable, and a systematic corruption and subsequent betrayal which out rivals the days of Sir ROBERT WALPOLE. All that the denial amounts to is the actually making of a promise, but the inference was allowed to be drawn; and when we bear in mind the bribery, by implication, which has been con sidered sufficient to unseat Mr. MARE for Plymouth, because he is a Conservative, we may demand the same measure of justice for those who are Ministerial leaders. Mr. HAYTER was known to be the whipper-in of the Whig-Radical party, and consequently the man through whom communica tions with the several sections of Liberalism were usually made; and though, with diplomatic caution, he carefully guarded himself against any admissions which might prove inconvenient, he said enough for the bait:to take, and the Brigade votes made up that majority which unseated the Conservative Administration. The scheme was successful, as far as concerns those who held out the lure, but the Irish members gained nothing by their motion. They ousted Mr. DISRAELI, who would have laid on the burden very lightly, and admitted Mr. GLADSTONE, who has not only imposed a heavier Income-tax, but added to the burdens of Ireland an additional duty of eightpence per gallon on Spirits. Such are the fruits of Whig truckling to Irish agitation; and such fire the members of the Imperial Legislature returned by priestly influence and intimidation. With parties otherwise so nicely balanced, that the Conservatives had the bare ma jority, this faction of Romish representatives have just sufficient strength to turn the scale on either side; and being open to the highest bidder, as they were when the notorious Lichfield-house compact was entered into, they readily seized upon the bait which was laid for them, and selling their prin ciples, found, when too late, that they had sold themselves. To take the mildest view of the affair, it was disgraceful to those concerned in it, and justified the anxiety which was felt to bring the dis cussion to a close, as one which would reflect no credit on a British House of Commons, though, unhappily, it is a complaint for which it would be hopeless to expect a remedy. MR. GLADSTONE'S FINANCIAL POLICY. AITER a lengthened debate, during which several amendments to the proposed Income Tax were dis cussed and finally defeated, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has carried the resolutions for this portion of his Budged and on Thursday he proceeded to enter upon the next important item of imposing a duty on Successions to Real Property. As this proposal will also meet with much opposi tion, and as the Whitstmtide recess has interposed anotherdelay, we may anticipate that the Session will be far advanced before the whole scheme will have received the fiat of Parliamentary approval, more particularly as several of the items have to undergo modification. In entering at large into a defence of his scheme to-subject real property to legacy duty, Mr. GLADSTONE dwelt with much apparent sin cerity upon the alleged inequality of the present system ; but it must be remembered that though now exempt from legacy c'uty, real property is subject to tharges from which personal property is free, and even when compared with leasehold houses and lands, the latter has always been pur chased at a lower price than freehold, on account of the •exemption, so that those who have pur chased freehold property on the security of the existing law, have paid more for the fee simple on account of the freedom from legacy duty, and, if 'the proposition should be carried, will have the tax imposed on them. Mr. GLADSTONE has esti mated the ultimate yield of this tax at two millions a year ; but it has been asserted by good authorities that it will produce considerably more, and, if so, ir will be imposing new and heavy burdens upon land, although the promises of Sir ROBERT PEEL 'to make compensation for the Repeal of the Corn :Laws are still unredeemed. PROSPECTS OF BIRKENHEAD. THE prospect which was held out a short time since of an amicable arrangement for a transfer of .the Birkenhead Docks to the Liverpool Dock Trustees, seems, for the present at least, to be set aside, owing to the extravagant demands of the Birken head proprietors, upon which we commented last week, and which were brought before the Dock Committee on Thursday, when they "declined to COMMITTEE.

The Committee app ted tbr the purpose of Puilding and Endowing a New C rch in neighbourhood of Leigh, feels it an incumbent duty, wh'en soliciting the support of the public, to carry out a design unanimously sanctioned by a crowded meeting of the inhabitants, shortly -to point out the grounds upon which they ask for assistance. The ancient market-tcku of Leigh stands in the adjoining townships of Pennington and Westleigh • hilt by the increase of building, a portion of - the township of Redford has become abs.drbed in the town ; and it is intended to build a Church in such a situation as most conveniently to provide for the spiritual wants of this -dense and increasing population,' in the above-named townships. They contain,:according to the last ctnsus, nearly 14,000 inhabitants, and the Church accomtutkla tion is scarcely sufficient for one-sixth of that number. Although the Committee might confidently appeal to the "Members of the Church of England for-support, on the grtund •of inadequate accommodation for the existing and rapidly increasing population, it feels that this neighbourhood has peculiar claims-6/ . lllw sympathy of all who are sincere friends of the Protestant faith, as recognised in the teachings of the Church of Erighrod. The religious - state of this diattict has long been painfully notorious, and the necessity for change has become imminent. The hulk of the people, though - attached to the Church, w ill not, and most of them cannot conscientiously, attend the consecrated Churches in the above-mined town ships. Amongst other things, 'they cannot reconcile them selves to the dogma that the Clergyman alone is the Church; nor to the 'importation of novelties 'into the - service, pertina ciously and' Offensively . introduced ; they cannot reconcile themselves 'to the capricious and arbitrary refusalit to christen, marry. andhury the parishioners; nor to the Irat 4 sl denuncia tions of eternal perdition overthedying; they Catmot reconcile themselves to the preaching of Inflammatory and abusive dis courses, not to the frequent 7absuraities of the so-called cote chetical quelstions during the 'Church Service. ' , Sy proceedings such as these, they feel that the influence of the Church of England has become weakened, and its people either scattered amongst rithcr denominations, or withered' into tndifference,by a worship of form, with ocariely any of the essentials of Chris tianity. The 'labouring classes have especially felt-some of these grievances. Their instincts towards religion,-- , -their affections towards their relatives, dying and dead—heave been slighted and outraged; and when in their afflictions they have looked for cottifort, or at least kindness, and when - their broken spirits have welcomed instr , ction, sorrows have teen heaped upon them try hard language and personal insult. Tice 'Consmittee asks for foreign aid. ' The neighbourhood may -emphatically be termed a poor one. it ventures to crave assistance from all who hold Protestantism (at once the religion- of true nerty and of Christ)'dear and sacred; it craves, 'nay, it imploringly calls for assistance, from all who wish to- ,exclude and' to' repel from • the '-etrurch of England, those tenets, which, enunciated from the pulpits of some churches, consecrated to Protestant wee.shin, according to the doctrines and accustomed rites of the Church of Eng land, are calculated to impair and to' destroy its purity, and to revive Rontanism. . , conclusion, the Committee presentsene (art, with thank fulness end exultation 4. at the Meeting ,-, wkich passed the resolution which has evaksd this s.ppeal, the labouring classes upon heitring thatit was ,'determined - thatithe Protestant faith, according to the doctrines and disctpline,of the Church. tif" England; untainted by Mactarianism and its brood of evils, should be preached in the proposed - Church, earnestly responded by instantaneously subscribing towards Its erection.

INSPECTION OF NUNNERIES.-DEFEAT OF THE GOVERNMENT. ONE of the most satisfactory evidences of a return to a better feeling in the House of Commons was exhibited on Tuesday, when the motion of Mr. T.. CHAMBERS for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the recovery of personal liberty in certain cases, was carried by a majority of 140 to 117, notwith standing the opposition of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his Romanist allies ani the adverse votes of the members of the Government. The Bill is spe cially directed against Nunneries and other Monas tic Institutions in this country, which are noto riously on the increase; and the remedy proposed is that the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment shall have the power of appointing one or more persons (where there are reasonable grounds to infer the exercise of coercion and restraint towards any female anywhere), to go, in company with a justice of the peace, to the house, see the party, ascertain the facts, and, if necessary, put the ordinary law in force by writ of Habeas Corpus. It might have been thought that in a country like England, where a jealous regard for the liberty of the subject is a popular passion, forming the burden of our national songs, and constituting, as it were, a national sentiment almost peculiar to Great Britain, such a motion, which proposed to remedy an evident deficiency of the law to provide against a flagrant and growing abuse, would have met with no opposition but from rabid Romanists. If nunneries were not the prisons, or something worse, to which ardent Protestant writers have compared them, there would have been nothing to dread from the inspection which could only originate from reasonable grounds of suspicion, and we might have accepted the version of Lord E. HOWARD, that the iron bars and other accessories of the dungeon, with which these places are secured, were designed rather to keep intruders out than to confine the inmates. The Bill, however, met with other opposition from professing Liberals, and from officer in her Majesty's service knowingly to permit or encourage any seaman to leave the vessel in which he is engaged ; and every seaman leaving his ship and entering into her Majesty's service shall be liable to all the penal- ties of desertion, any law or custom notwithstanding." It is almost needless to remark that such a law would be a manifest injustice to the seamen, and it may be a serious detriment to the Royal Navy. Desertion should by no means be encouraged, but British seamen should know that they could find protection under the British flag. LIVERPOOL BOROUGH SESSIONS. THE RECORDER ON JUVENILE CRIME, AND LADIES' DRESS POCKETS. a ße rge c d or w de it r h . The Borough Quarter Sessions commenced yesterday feTlohneyr,eawnedrefourwithin the new Assize Courts. St. George's-hall, before Gilbert m i s demeanours. Of the prisoners for trial none had r e ceived a superior education ; five could read and write ninety five prisoners Henderson, for t r i E a l s q c . h , well ; forty-six imperfectly ; twelve could read, but not write ; and thirty-six could neither read nor write. The following gentlemen were sworn on the grand jury :—John Mether, lead and copper merchant, Back Goree, foreman; Samuel Beckwith, broker, Tower -buildings ;. Wm. Barry, merchant, Exchange-buildings ; Edward Brodripp, tea merchant, North John-street ; Christopher Bushell, wine broker, North John-street; Robert C. Crosbie, merchant, Tower-buildings ; Win. Leigh Clare, broker, Exchange buildings ; Frederick Chapple, merchant, Water-street ; Samuel Cherry, corn-broker, Fenwick-street ; John Finch the younger, iron-merchant, Cook-street ; Thomas Froste, merchant, Castle-street ; John Lord Howard, broker, Dean-street, Fairfield ; James Little, rectifier, Vernon-street ; Ed ward Johnstone, merchant. Tower buildings North ; Wm. Griffith Leete, broker, Sweeting street ; Wm. Jeffery Lockett, merchant, Islington ; R. A. Macfie, sugar-refiner, Bachelor-street ; Robert Mason, broker, Tithebarn-street ; Henry Newman, merchant, Canning-place ; Daniel Powell, corn-merchant, North John-street. The RECORDER, in addressing the Grand Jury, said that the calendar on this occasion contained the names of 100 persons sent for trial, who had been committed within two months ; this, therefore, would be at the rate of 600 prisoners a year—a number less than were sent to the Sessions last year, and considerably less than in the four years preceding, when the number averaged 900 an nually. He might add that the cases were also of a lighter character than before. If these indications might be trusted, there was much ground for satisfaction, because it would seem that, at a time when the commerce of this port was beyond all parallel, and when the imports and exports exceeded those of the metropolis, the benefits of commercial enterprise extended themselves to the hum bler classes, and acted as a. preventative of crime. He hoped this was the state of the case at the present time in this town, but, even if- it was, still we must not rest satisfied on the subject, nor relax in the least, in our efforts for the repression of crime. This borough had always laboured under this disadvantage, that the arrange ments of our prison were of such a kind as to render the indiscriminate association of prisoners unavoidable ; and although the gentleman who acted as chaplain pursued his labours with an almost unparalleled zeal, his efforts, as well as those of the governor, were prevented from having their due effect. It was, therefore, with great pleasure that he now saw the new prison drawing to a completion, so as to admit of the introduction of the separate system. As tar as he (the Recorder) had been able to form an opinion, the evidence was very strong in favour of the separate system, and he did not think that the adminis tration of justice would be fully provided for until they saw the separate system carried out. He some years ago assisted the Council in providing the prison which was now erecting, and he hoped that every exertion would be made to bring it to an early and a successful completion. Now, although it was a frightful thing for people to get themselves into prison, he had more anxiety about those' out of prison than the offenders within its walls. They found some people often corning to prison, it was true, and eventually getting transported. Still, he could not doubt that imprisonment, and a rigorous administration of the law, had a good effect upon a community. Sup pose that, for a week, there was no provision made rot the administration of justic _—that the police did not inter fere with criminals, and that there was no restraint, no• doubt a sense of moral restraint would prevent the mass of our population from committing crime, but there would be those—afraid of the law—who r in this case, would break out into the most frightful excesses against society, and it !must therefore be seen that the due administration of the law did a great deal for the safety and decent regulation accede to the terms named, as being excessive, and ' of society. Nevertheless, he by no means ove r l oo k e d t h e very great importance of reformatory establishments in having no reference to th e r e al value of the pro- such a town as Liverpool.- No doubt it was hi g hly desir perty to which those t e r m s re f er ."

In the present calendar, out of the 100 cases, there were eleven arising out of picking women's dress-pockets. There was a time when it was a very rare thing for women or children to be pickpockets at all, but now we had an abundance of them, both 1 women, and boys, and girls. Now it was all very well for a lady who sat in her drawing-room or who rode in , her carriage to have a dress pocket as they were now worn, but when shopkeepers' wives and small trades men's wives went about the streets and to the markets with these pockets in their dresses, these children knew it, and they lifted up the dress, and robbed them with the greatest ease. He h a d d one a n he could to discourage the practice by disallowing the costs in all eases where ladies had come before him to prosecute, under the impression that it might have a tendency to check or prevent this par ticular species of crime. There was another kind of crime, peculiar to children in this town, to whi c h he would advert. It was very common for children of twelve or thirteen years of age to run away from their parents, and go to reside in a certain class of lodging-houses. Theywerereadily received at these houses where th ey were harboured, and where they paid their lodgings by stealing. He had made enquiries about this kind of offence ' A fter with the last sessions but one , he communicated • Captain GI-, ig on the subject, and the result of those communica tions left no doubt whatever on his mind that there were many such dens in the town. He regretted that, ac cording to the present state of the l power to punish those who so harbouredaw, he had not the children, even if they were b these young :ought before him, al though it was of the great ' should be suppressed, in greatest Importance that such dens. order to prevent, in some de gree, juvenile crime. After some further remarks, the learned gentleman repeated with placing juvenileoffenders in a reformatory, but go to the root of the evil, and see what Iwe could do to pre vent crime, and thus render unnecessary, to a great extent, these reformatories at all. We must put drunk enness amongst parents down, and look for a remedy for that state of things where parents did not educate or look after their children. It was in vain to attempt to stop crime by me r ely local treatment, and w e s h ould simply be doing that by erecting a reformatory, and not taking means to arre -, t the sources of crime. At the same time he was decidedly in favour of a reformatory, because he knew many cases in which imprisonment was of no avail, where a reformatory might have been of service , • still he knew that that mode of meeting the evil had its limits, and that other means of prevention must not be neglected. The trials were then proceeded with. THE ROMISH CONTROVERSY A meeting on this subject was announced to be held on Tuesday last, in the Tabernacle, Bispham-street ; but the owner of the building would not allow it to be used for the purpose, and, in consequence, the proceedings took place in Circus-street, Mr. HUGHES in the chair. Mr. O'DONNELL was the first speaker, and commenced by directing the attention of the meeting to the letters to and from Dr. 141 4 /CEILE in the Liverpool Standard of that day. Mr. Jorrx MACDONALD afterwards addressed the meeting. We have notes of all the proceedings by our own reporter, but the speakers indulged in such extraor dinary statements, couched in such extreme language, that a regard fcr our readers prevents us from doing more than referring to the fact. It has, however, removed any doubt of Dr. WNEILE having arrived at a correct con clusion in deciding not to consent to oral discussion. Some allowance might be made for party zeal, but when the warmth of debate melts all the barriers which are ordinarily imposed by civilisation to preserve the decencies of society, the partisans are better confined to the colder proprieties of written language.
