Crown-office, Preston, Nov. 11, 1853. WOMLEY's pt:CTORAL CAWDY.— PATRONISED HY TIIE FACULTY. The rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable Medicine is a convincing proof of its efficacy. The Proprietor can confi dently recommend it in all cases of Coughs, Sore Throats, Hoarseness, , Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the Chest and Lungs, as well as for the relief ant! ultimate cure of long standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resistance to the most approved remedies. Being entirely free from all noxious ingredients, and beneficial , to the system generally, it may be taken bypersons of all ages with perfect safety; for whilst powerful to heal and give relief to the chest and throat, and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and purify the blood. The following are a few of the many thousand cures yearly effected by WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY : Surprising Cure of a Cough of seven years' duration, after the best medical advice had failed.—Plymouth, Foundry, Plymouth, Devon, March 22, 1850,—T0 Mr. Woolley,— Sir,—l think it a auty I owe to yourself and the public to inform you of the great benefit I have derived from your Pec toral Candy. I have been troubled with a severe cough for the last seven years, and although I have had the best medical advice, I could obtain no permanent relief, until I fortunately tried your Candy, and after taking two small Loxes, I find myself free from cough. You have my permis sion to give publicity to this statement.—l am, sir, yours, &c., JOHN EDMOND MARE. Care of a Cough of four years' standing.—Chatbam, April 18th, 1850. —To Mr. Woolley,—Dear Sir,—Mrs. Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brampton, has been cured of a cough of four years' standing, by taking one box of your Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing her gratitude, in order that others similarly afflicted may obtain the same benefit. Please send me three dozen of the large boxes for her brother to take out to the Mauritius with him next week. can also add my testimony that, from the many cases 1 ive seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded it stands unrivalled as a general cough medicine.—Yours truly, HENRY WATTS, Chemist. Chatham. Extraordinary Cure of a case of Asthma of ten years' duration.—ltedditch, Worcestershire, March 17th, 1851. — Sir,—l have the pleasure of informing you of the cure of a sister of mine of Asthma of ten years' duration, by your Pec toral Candy.—l am, yours truly, JAMES DUG G 1 N s. Temperance Hotel. N. 8.—1 could tell you of another cure, but the person said he should a rite to you himself. This was the person who recommended it to my sister. The following very flattering recommendation from an M.D., (dated Sept.

THE Liverpool Albion, of this day makes reference to a paragraph which appeared in the Liver pool Chronicle of Saturday, relative to a slander on a highly respectable family in the neighbourhood of Aigliurth, and states that the slander in question had its origin in the malignity of a discharged servant. A statement originating in motives so base, all respectable persons must unite in denouncing. The statement was most industriously circu lated and believed, and in the Liverpool Chronicle it was referred to amongst the "gossip of the week." The Proprietors of the Chronicle feel deep regret at having been the unconscious instruments of inflicting pain upon a respectable family, and they spontaneously take this oppor tunity of stating that a retractation will appear in the next publication of the Liverpool Chronicle. Liverpool, Nov. 14, 1853. WILLMER AN n SMITE!. [ADVERTISEMENT.] " SCANDALOUS REPORT." TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. attention having been drawn to an article in the Albion of to-day, r e ferring to a paragraph which appeared in the Chronicle of Saturday, I think it proper to state publicly that the article alluded to was handed to the printer, late on Friday night, after I had left business (being an invalid), and was published entirely with. out my knowledge or authority.

VERITAS.—A more effectual remedy than the one proposed in your letter must be adopted. % L a ) -?.. 11`0..?"rpod :-,tanbarti+ TUESDAY MORNING, N0V.15, 1853. TEIE question which has now for some weeks Agitated the manufacturing industry of Lancashire will, it is to be hoped, receive very shortly a satis factory solution. The operatives are beginning to discover that they have taken a false step, and thousands of them are returning to work at the same wages against which they struck. If they really possessed that intelligence which the advo cates of the rights of labour claim for them, they would not have 'permitted themselves to be the dupes of the artful knaves who have usually the chief direction of these affairs. At a time when they are earning higher wages, and are enjoying more comforts than was ever the case with them before, they Are collected in Trowaed meetings, and told by frothy declaimers, that they :are the slaves of 'their employers ; that 'if 'they -unite in resistance,they could obtain more wages:; :and they have only to persevere, in order to reverse the system, ana make the maters the slaves of their will. Their shallow intellects believethe grossest absurdities, and these precious samples of opera tive intelligence join in cries about ten per cent., although they have hardly sense enough to under stand what it means, except 'that it will enable them, : if they get it, to buy more gin and beer. Inflamed with these 'harangues, 'the majority of whieh - would have disgraced the political clubs of the Trench Revoiutien, these misguided men forget - the :interests Of their wives .And children, dive up the employment whieh affordea them many ad montages, and voluntarily accept - The miserable pittance which for - the first few • - weeks may be wrung from dupes - like themselves. Poverty is, however, a harder 'taskmaster - than even a mill -owner ; idleness may be a pleasant relief till want begins to tell its tale of misery, and now there is no - doubt that the majority of the turn-outs bitterly repent their folly. They ?have lost time And - money beyond -all hope of redress, and they have not gained a -single advantage ; but having exhausted their preiions savings; if - they possessed Any,: and used up all - their available -resources, they hare-to begin anew - with blighted Characters, with notiaim for sympathy or consideration on the part Of - their employers, and with the bitter reflection -of disappointed hopes, and the convidion that they have been the victims of gross delusion. Had the operative classes theslightest claim to intelligence, - they would long since have seen the - folly of which they:have been guilty. They wound have taken warning from preVious strikes, whiehltave always Testilted in failure; laut it is evident they are defl eierit In sense, even to look after their own interests, and their conduct has proved to demon stration-that to entrust such a class of the com -munity with the political franchise, ;would be an -act of insanity of 'which even the extravagance of ultra-Liberalism would hardly be guilty. The folly of the men, great as it is, should, how ever,'be- met with something like good•sense on the part of the masters ; and it is to be hopedihat the latter will:not enhance the mischief already oommit ted by any. attempts at retaliatory measures. They have themselves much-to answer for inihemeglect which thethave too often displayed towaras the operative dosses. Instead of insisting upon the education of the children as an absolute condition of employment, they have 'tempted the cupiditry of parents by allawing their offspring to be deprived of all chances of instruction, in order that both might gain - by their labour at an age which shcadd be devoted -to learning and healthful recreation. The consequence has been the growing up of :a race stunted in mind and body, -unfit for any oecu- • pation except the mere machinery of mill work, and displaying all the evil results cof their training in such scenes as Lancashire has witnessed within ' the last few weeks. The masters have sown the wind in order to add to -their gains, and they must occasionally reap the whirlwind, in the closing of their mills and the dread of 'their turned-out opera tives revenging themselves by incendiary assaults upon their unprotected property. Both parties are much to blame, and the only course that they can now pursue with advantage is that of mutual for giveness, with as little reference as possible to the causes of the dispute. The men should return to their work, content to receive the rate of wages which they so foolishly rejected, and the masters . should open their mills to receive them. We may then anticipate a revival of the activity which has been so rudely broken in upon ; and if it be pos sible for such men to gain wisdom by experience, they will have learned a lesson which they ought not easily to forget. TILE length of time which has elapsed since the country felt the terrible re-action from the mania for trafficking in Railway Shares, should have sufficed for restoring this description of property to something like an approximation to its real value. It has, however, suffered considerably from the mis management of Boards of Directors, the heavy law costs incurred by rival lines, the construction of expensive branches which never could be expected to pay, and from placing too much reliance on eminent engineers, who receive a per centage on the outlay, and therefore have an interest diametri cally the reverse of that of the shareholders. The Liverpool and Manchester line must have long THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AISD GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. since paid all its original cost, but it became linked with less profitable:concerns, and finally with those of which the losses swamped the greater part of the profits on:the paying lines ; so that the whole concern, under the title of the London and North- Western Railway Company, comprising several hundred miles of railroad, and:with an income of more than £50,000 a-week, is worth little more than par, though the - shares at one time bore more than 150 per cent. premium. The recent fall is owing, in a great measure, to the determination of the Directors to embark more capital in the con struction of unprofitable branches ; but the same depressing influence seems to prevail on almost every line in the kingdom, and of none of them are the shares at a price equivalent to that of other descripthms of investment for capital. This evident unpopularity of railway property among capitalists may be attributed, in a great measure, to the bad system of management which has grown up. Directors are not sufficiently responsible to those whose interests they govern, and are invested with powers which few of them know how to exercise with advantage to the great body of shareholders, even supposing them to be willing to do so. Rival companies attempt to carry out their respective objects without the slightest reference to the interests of the community ; and more money has been spent in law, in Parliamentary expenses, in useless engineering, and in the battle of the gauges, than might have sufficed to give every large town in the kingdom the advantage of railway communication, at low, and yet remune rative, fares. The shareholders are great suf ferers by such a system, or rather want of system, but the public are also sufferers, for fares are levied at high rates, in order to pay interest on the capital that has been wasted ; and though much of the evil has been abated through exhaus tion of the means, it is not yet quite at an end, as is shown by the attempt now being made to bring the ruinous broad gauge as far as Birkenhead. It is to be feared that Railway property will never be a secure means of investment, until its manage ment is entrusted to other hands than Boards of Directors acting independently of each other. An arrangement of this kind will be an important question for the Imperial Legislature ; for, though an objection may be raised to its being an inter ference with the rights of property of private shareholders, the public at large have a still greater interest,inasmuch as the means of travelling are now virtually entrusted to the irresponsible holders of a gigantic monopoly. One means of effecting this desirable object would be to estimate the value of every separate railway property, including all its obligations on debentures, loans, and other debts. The whole might then be converted into a consolidated stock, of which each existing shareholder should be allowed a rateable proportion. The chief direction of the whole might be entrusted to a Board of Commissioners, partly nominated by the Govern ment, and partly elected by the holders of stock. The traffic might be entrusted to the control of District - managers appointed by the Central Board, and all the lines throughout the kingdom be worked in -subordination to one system, - with fares apportioned to the peculiarities of eaCh locality. The present proportion of working expenses would then 'be considerably reduced ; there would be no ruinous competition, lower fares might 'be charged with-advantage, the travelling public would derive an important benefit from the'uniformity of systkm, and the holders of railway stock would possess a more marketable investment, because the interest would be i :laigher and more regular in its - rate, from the expenses being divided over a larger -surface. It is clear that the Continental lines, which are under Government contra, are far more •profitable than the best of English railways.; and 'the adoption of -such a system in - this country as we have suggested, would be a poitive benefit - te 'the shareholders, as well as to thetravelling public. IF the slightest reliance could be placed on 'the reports which • are daily received :by Electric Tele graph, it would appear that the" Turks have not waited for diplomatic negotiations, but appealedat once to the urbitrement of the-sword, and that - the two principals in the qnarrel are now actually fighting both in Europe and 'Asia. So many falsehoods have, however, reached 'England through • the same channel, that it is useless to argue upon probabilities, 'though we may reasonably conclude -that some skirmishes have taken place, and the 'Turks have possibly had the advantage at present. 'The Times, alluding to the reported battle, from which the Russians retreated litiLla loss, says are almost compelled to conclude that -the encounter was nothing less than a , regular engage ment between the main bodies of 'the Russian and Turkish troops, in which: the Ottoman, though greatly inferior numbers, succeeded in com pletely routing the forces of the Czar." On the other hand, the Morning ITeraif, speculating on -the probabilities as gathered from the same reports, says :--"It is plain, therefore,lhat before OMEE ventures ona pitched battle—for we do not agree with the .3 tyres in supposing that:any action meriting that epithet can yet have been fought— he must strongly reinforce one or. other cf the de tachments now threatening the extreme wings of the AmocBAT'S army." We may, leave . nor con temporaries to argueithe point as they will, and, in the dearth of more exciting news, it serves, per haps, as well as any other subject on which to: dilate, but it may not be long before we shall receive intelligence more authentic than over the wires. It will not ibe disputed that whatever may 'have been the eanse of the quarrel, it was of importance to the interests of Europe that it should be settled by diplomatic negotiation. Attempts at mediation have, however, 'failed ; and the next best -.step -that could be taken 'is to leave the belligerents to fight it out, without the interference of other European powers. Austria and Prussia. have hitherto held aloof from affording any assistance to their great northern ally, and England and France should follow their good example, by giving no more aid to Turkey than sufficient to protect her from any actual invasion by Russia, supposing the latter power to be triumphant ha the Danubian provinces. It will be seen that the EMPEROR OF RUSSIA has published a manifesto to justify his armed resis tance to the attacks of the Turkish forces, upon the pretence of his right "to demand from the Ottoman Porte inviolable guarantees in favour of the sacred rights of the Orthodox Church," We need not by which he attempts possession of the tsotopjutcs)tiiray his t inquire into the forciblelogic provinces on the Danube, but we have no such predilections in favour of Turkish infidels as to call for any active interference on their behalf out of stupid jealousy of the power of Russia,—a power which is sheer weakness out of its own vast wilder ness,—and from the sordid consideration that Mohammedanism is the bulwark to the Eastern possessions of Christian England. It was the sin of the ancient Jews that they trusted in the LORD, who had rescued them from all their Egypt instead of in the horses and chariots of enemies ; and it will be no less a sin in England, evange lising the world, if, losing all mission of now entrusted with the mighty confidence in the right eous ness of her cause, bless e d w ith so many signal mercies, she attempts to preserve her tem poral possessions in India by perpetuating Chris tian slavery in Turkey. The issues of the quarrel and the destinies of the human race are, however, in the hands of a higher power than the Coalition Cabinet, which owns the nominal sway of " anti- quated imbecility," and it is becoming evident that, whatever may be the successes of the Turk ish forces in Wallachia, or whatever may be the position assumed by other States of Europe, the power of Infidelity is inevitably destined to decay and final extinction. A short road to its consum mation would be the conversion of the Sultan and his adherents to Christianity ; but every believer in the truth of prophecy must look for the realisa tion of the glorious promise that " the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the seas." THE democratic triumph by which General PIERCE was raised to the Presidency of the United States of America seems already to be on the eve of a defeat, owing to the administrative incapacity of the men whom he has appointed to office. It is one of the evident defects of republican institutions that what is called the popular will, but which, in reality, is the voice of the least intelligent, because the most numerous class, too often selects for its idol the individual least fitted for the duties of the situation to which he is elevated. This now ap pears to have been the case with General PIERCE, who was chosen because he was believed to be the representative of democratic notions, which largely prevail in the Congress as well as in the constituent body, and also out of oppositon to General SCOTT, whose ideas were too Conservative. There is is often,lowever, a wide difference between an ab stract theory and the practical application of it. Democratic principles have been put to the test in the United States, and, linked as they usually are with a deficiency iu ordinary intelligence, they are losing favour even with their quondam sup porters, because they do not produce the fruits which were expected of them. General PIERCE has begun to show his incapacity for the perform ance of responsible duties, and in his failure he will also demonstrate that Radicalism is incompatible with national prosperity. His defeat should be a reproof to democratic ambition ; but all the blame should not be visited on him, for failure is less dis credit where success would have been almost im possible. The evil is inherent in the principles which were triumphant at the hustings, and the only remedy will be a practical denial of them by prudently taking timely warning, dismissing the Ministry, which, like our own, is a clique of inca pables, and selecting men whose best claim to office is not their democratic tendencies, but their ability to perform the duties which devolve upon them. THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL. No. IV. Ix our last article on this subject, we stated what had been done when the grand attempt was made to raise Birkenhead into a place of importance, but the completion of which was checked by the difficulties in the money market, consequent upon the reaction of the railway mania, and the want of support from Liverpool, owing to the absurd jealousy of Birkenhead proving a dangerous rival in commercial business. It is to be hoped, however, that such feelings are for ever set at rest, and that those who are entrusted with the management of the magnifi cent Liverpool Dock Estate will see the propriety and advantage of extending their operations on the western side of the Mersey, instead of multiplying their difficulties by endeavouring to perform impossibilities on the eastern side. The extension of docks at the north end, whether judiciously designed or otherwise, is now an accomplished fact, and therefore beyond the range of comment ; but as they are almost equally beyond the range of easy access , for commercial purposes, any further extension is open to :animadversion. The timber trade of Liverpool requires further accommodation, which can only be afforded by incurring an enormous expense, or obtaining the requisite space at such a long distance from the centre of traffic as to destroy all idea of its being any accommodation at all. A proposal has'recently been made to go still further north than the Huskisson Dock, which is itself beyond the verge of shelter from the winds that sometimes set in with great violence fromlhe Irish sea; but the only objection raised to the proposal seems to have been excited by the immense outlay reciliired,•amounting to -no less than two millions. This is paying rather too dear for the whistle, if it be only to indulge the wish to retain all Liverpool business on this side of the 'Mersey, when so many facilities are offered on the other side at much less cost and with far greater advantagesin every respect. The large sheet of water which was formerly called Wallasey Pool, and is now known as the Great Float, pre sents an area of about 150 acres, and on the Birkenhead side has been bounded by a stone wall of substantial masonry, extending from the -dock-gates to - the head of the Pool, a distance of about two miles, and presenting an extent of quay capable of affording accommodation to an immense amount of business. It has also the further advantage of being skirted by.s line of railway communi cating with the Birkenhead, 'Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction line, and thence with all parts of the kingdom, the rates of transit of heavy goods to Manchester and other great centres of manufacturing industry being considerably lower than: by the railways on this side the Mersey, while the access is more easy—beingelese to the quay side—than is ever likely to be attained ' between the Liverpool docks and the various railway termini. The advantage of this arrangement on the Birkenhead side has been several times pressed upon public attention by Messrs. HoLma, SLATER, and Co., the eminent timber brokers, in their trade circulars, and it is one which is becoming-of such importance that no doubt other - houses in the same trade will avail themselves of it. On the south-eastern corner of -the Great Float are several large stacks of lofty wareheuses,of most substantial .erection, one of which has beenoonverted into the Govern anent Dept .-'for Emigrants, who embark themselves and 'their goods into vessels alongside the ~quay, in the most .convenient manner possible. :Between each stack of buildings is a branch of the railway, with the most emn ete machinery:for communicating • one -with the other, and with the main line, so that in the loading or unloarling ofTessels, cartage , tis rendered almost unnecessary. Abe %e the warehouses, en the water side, are the extensive iron ship-building premises of Mr. Jonzr LAxan, whence the largest steam-ships are launched into the Crest Float, with a facility which can rarely be met .with in any other ,locality. On the inner side, adjoining -the line of railway, are the extensive mahogany sheds of Messrs. Houma and Co., perhaps the most spacious of till kind in the world; and the immense amount of business transacted by this firm, as was evident by the great attendance at their sale.on Friday last, will show the manner in which the facilities for business .at the Birkenhead Docks are :appreciated!liy the trade generally. Farther up the pool is a spacious yard, of several acres in ,extent, and bounded by a abstantial brick wall, which at present forms a depository :for the huge iron pipes in tended for the conveyance of water from Rivington Pike for the supply of Liverpool; and beyond this is a large extent .of ground at present unoocupied. Farther on, a spacious area has been recently taken for Mr. HEMMING'S extensive manufactory of houses for Australia, which be has been eoxnpelled to remove from near Woodside Ferry, owing to the land there, which belongs to the Corporation of Liverpool, having been let for shipbuilding purposes to Messrs. Cx.arrox and Co., and Messrs. Czkrnn and Co. The immense amount of business which is now being done by Mr. ITE3oanc4, in the construction of dwellings for Australian colonists, will almost exceed belief; indeed, he has already a small-sized town on his premises, small houses being built within the frames of larger ones, to save room, and numbers are being every day packed up for exportation. Above Mr. HEMMING'S premises is a small dock branch ing out from the Great Float, and upon the whole of one side has been erected an extensive range of buildings for the manufacture of locomotive engines for the Canada Great Trunk Railway. The buildings, which belong. to Messrs. BRASSEY and Co., the eminent contractors, are nearly completed ; part of the machinery has been erected, and they will be enabled, through the facilities afforded by the dock, to ship the engines direct from the manu factory on board the vessels which will convey them to Canada. We understand that they have also extensive orders for engines from English railway companies, so that that side "of the Great Float will shortly present a busy scene of manufacturing industry, and lead to still further extension of traffic. The head of the Great Float is crossed by a bridge lead. ing to the village of Poulton, and having an opening for the passage of vessels higher up the pool ; and up to thi s point the dock wall extends, with occasional turns in the m asonry for the entrance of smaller docks, should they be found necessary. Between the bridge and Messrs. BRA.EBZVE3 premises is also a large extent of ground at I present unoocupied, but of sufficient space for all the tim ber trade of Liverpool, while it is far more easy cf access, both by water and by railway, than can ever be the case with the proposed locality, to the north of Huskisson Dock. The Seacombe side of the pool has not yet been walled in, that duty having been left to the several occu piers of the adjoining land, to be performed when they re quire it ; but there are several extensive works carried on,including the manufacture of pottery, smalts, chemicals, &c., and an iron foundry, communicating with the railway which crosses the embankment separating the Great Float from the outer docks. It will thus be seen, even from this imperfect descrip tion, that the western side of the Mersey presents ad vantages for the extension of the trade of the port of Liverpool, such as will be looked for in vain on the eastern side. The Liverpool docks have been constructed at an enormous outlay of capital, through the attempt to confine the business to one side ; but the mischief will be considerably increased if it be further per sisted in, and no advantage be taken of those facilities on the Cheshire shore for which nature has done so much, and art has already made them so far available that a comparatively small outlay would render them completely efficient. We have not, however, alluded to the opera tions now going on for the completion of the outer works, but must reserve the description until next week. (To be continued) VINDICATION OF SCOTTISH RIGHTS. IN our last number we gave a brief outline of the com plaints made by our Scottish fellow-subjects, stating also that the grounds of these they allege to exist in an undue exercise of its power by the Imperial Legislature ; in which consideration of Scottish rights is, they say, over borne by the weight of English influence. The case was very fully and very ably discussed at the great meeting held in Edinburgh, to which our remarks had special refe rence. The addresses delivered at that meeting by the various speakers have since formed a fertile theme for criticism to that portion of the press which, inclined to frustrate the objects of the meeting, yet unable to gain say the truth and justice of the claims set up, found a ready expedient in sarcasms on verbal redundancies, and in misrepresentations to divert public attention from the merits of the question at issue. Scotland had unques tioned and unquestionable national rights prior to, and at the time of her union with England. Preservation of many of these rights was made the basis of the agreement, and formed special articles of the treaty by which that union was regulated and carried into effect. The Scotch complain that many of these rights have been grossly violated, and that others have been evaded. That is the real question under dis cussion ; and it cannot be set aside by jests, however droll; nor, if we understand the Scotch character aright, will it be trodden underfoot at the instigation of bullying dictation. The Scotch are a practical people, and are fully alive to the fact that a contract involves the interests of two parties, and cannot be discharged unless each receives its share of the benefits, as well as of the responsibilities incurred under the engagement. They refuse, for even one moment, to admit as an answer to their complaints, that Scotland has made great social progress since her union with England; without impugning that allegation, they demand to know if her social progress would have been retarded, had the stipulated and violated conditions of the union been complied with ? and they boldly an swer no ! So that even the poor plea of expediency is wanting thus to justify the breach of agreement on the part of the stronger power. Equally inapplicable to the case, they aver, is the argument, that as Scotchmen have occupied distinguished places in the imperial army, navy, and civil administration, she has, therefore, no national or public grievance to complain of. They point with triumph to positions of equal .eminence attained by their countrymen in the service of other governments ; and admit, with a sardonic smile, that if it could be shown that a rigid compli ance with the conditions of the union would have prevented the indomitable sons of Scotia from attaining the honour of so serving their sovereign and their country, it might have been a question of consideration with Scot land, whether, like an indulgent parent, she might not ' submit to some violation of her own rights, rather than, by insisting on their full recognition, retard the advance ment of her offspring ; but they indignantly deny that, having furnished her with sage councillors, brave soldiers, intrepid mariners, and erudite philosophers, furnishes England with any pretence for trampling on the rights of Scotchmen. The reverse, they say, must ever hold If warriors and statesmen—if men of science and of enterprise, leaving their own country, have lent their energies and contributed their prowess towards the aggrandisement of England, she has no right to plead the pittance of their well-earned individual reward, as a ground for the infraction of their country's rights ; on the contrary, they claim the services of her sons as an addi tional plea for establishing their country in her lawful privileges. If, however, the question must be argued, not on the broad and abstract principles of right and wrong, but on the inferior and paltry ground of benefit received, how, say they, would the question then stand? England, Ireland, and Scotland contribute to the imperial revenue; in re turn they all receive such advantages as flow from an administration of the law. So far, all are equal. Over and above this benefit, England and Ireland receive large subsidies out of the imperial revenue for the support of metropolitan and other police, for the endowment of schools of learning, apart from the Universities, and they have also received heavy contributions for the establishment of metropolitan parks and other recreative institutions ; they have had large sums expended in the construction of their defences • and in the annual outlay in the arsen a l s , dock yards, mid other government departments receive impor tant benefits from the imperial expenditure. In not one of these benefits is Scotland allowed to participate : she receives not one penny for educating or recreating her sons ; she is compelled to defray the whole expense of maintaining the integrity of their property; no defensive work has been erected along her shores ; a government ship is now a rarity in her waters; no arsenal or dock yard belonging to government exists within her boundaries; no harbourof refuge opens its welcome shelter tohermercan -1 tile marine, although repeated applications have been made for their.construction, and quietly shelved, by numerous governments; nay farther, her own crownlands and other national possesSions have been in many instances diverted to imperial uses, while no recognisable portion of any public or private imperial funds have been applied to her benefit. 'While our Scottish brethren willingly, nay cheerfully,admit that they have received great and lasting benefits from their union with England, their native saga city and acquired intelligence make them resolutely refuse to acknowledge that they have given nothing to England in return. They repudiate the churlish argument which recognises only one side of the obligation, and insist upon stating that if fellowship with England has left them un molested to ,develope their national resources, it has also enabled the English to do the same thing, for, in the con tention of mere annoyance, our Scottish friends were once highly - respectable as foes ; and they remember with strangely mingled feelings that for the general benefit they have suffered sacrifices of no ordinary magnitude. They point with no small degree of pride, and honest pride too, to the fact, that the genius of a Scotchman, PATERSON by name, gave us the Bank of England, for con .erring which benefit, they seldom fail to recount with a sigh, how the recompenee he received was contumely and a-broken heart. Their reminiscences teach them likewise that a Scotchmen gave us the steam engine—that the genius of another rendered it a practical instrument of labour—while yet a third taught us to apply it to the pur poses of navigation. They have not to this day ceased to remember that if their commerce has extended under the negative influence of English non-interference, their great national scheme of opening up the trade with the Pacific by a canal through the Isthmus of Darien, was sacrificed, crushed, ruined, to make way for advancing the pecuniary interests.of the English East India Company. Some ‘ingularly infelieitious, as well as inappropriate, jests have been attempted on the subject of the Scottish protest against the degradation of their national armorial standard. How such jeers can be indulged in by English man, or English journals, we are at a loss to under stamd- What nation on the earth's surface has so high a veneration for the symbol of its individual and collective honour as the English ? or who would make greater sacri fices to uphold its purity unchallenged ?

If divide et impera be the motto of such assailants, let that of every true-hearted Englishman be justice and union, "That the shamrock may bloom by the side of the rose, And the thistle of Scotland for ever be green." Scotland advances no unheard-of claim; her people demand no new privileges. Her requirement is restitu tion, not creation of right. She was under the solemn compact of a treaty admitted to a - union with England; the terms of that treaty are distinct and explicit. She avers that the fulfilment of these terms will satisfy her, but she complains that, in many instances, these terms have been violated, to the injury of her feelings, and the detriment of her social position. She appeals to the jus tice of England, to the honou r o f hi g h- m i n d e d English men, for an admission of those rights, which have been mutually agreed on as her property. She conjures them by the ties of brotherhood—by the community of noble aspirations, and of gallant deeds— to fulfil the solemn compact entered into by their fathers. Can such a claim be dishonoured with a sneer ? Shall such an appeal, so supported, be set aside by cold indifference, or rejected with selfishness and disdain ? Not so long as it is the proud boast of England that integrity is her law—that injustice and dishonour are alien to her institutions, and abhorrent to her spirit. THE APPROACH TO THE L.,4_IVDTVG- STAGE. A PETITION, roost numerously signed, has been pi•e sented to the Dock Committee, praying for better ap proaches from James-street and across George's Dock to the Leviathan of the Mersey—the great Landing -stage It is certainly a reproach to Liverpool, amidst the many improvements which have been and are being effected, that the most frequented thoroughfare, and the one tra versed by visitors of all classes, should be in such an inef ficient and even dangerous state. We are aware that there are many difficulties in the way of accomplishing all that may be desired, bat it could hardly be in a worse state than at present, with wide crossings, bad, pavement, and no protection from horses and vehicles for the many foot passengers who are constantly obliged to find their way to and from the ferry-boats. We do not agree in the pro posal for a high-level bridge, for such a remedy is more often worse than the disease; but a better foot-path might be laid, protected at intervals by posts, and the numerous vehicles might be confined to a narrower range than being allowed, as at present, to turn at once off the dock bridge on to the quay. A better arrangement might also be made with reference to the Dock bridges, so that a near one might always be available, while the one on the direct line is open for the passage of vessels. Consi dering the enormous amount of traffic, which is every day increasing, it is an improvement which is imperatively demanded, and ought to be no longer delayed. IRON HOUSES FOR AUSTRAILA. ONE of the most extraordinary features connected with the rapid growth of our Australian colonies, is the means which have been adopted for providing dwellings. The country being almost bare of -building materials, the settlers at first resorted to the primitive method of dwel ling in tents, and speedily arose a literal canvas town, not more comfortable nor picturesque than the collection of wigwams which cofistitute an Indian village. The next step was the importation of wooden-framed houses, con structed in England, and sent out in pieces like a four post bedstead; but a still further improvement has taken place, and the great source of England's manufacturing greatness—iron—is now brought into use, for this pro- - Pose, 'with very great . success. A structure of this kind has just been completed by Messrs. Taylor and Co., at the Britannia Iron-works, Birkenhead; and they have also in course of erection one of ranch larger dimensions. The finished house, which is about to be shipped for Aus tralia, has some pretensions to beauty as well as utility. It has a frontage of 23 feet, and is 38 feet in depth. The ground floor consists of a spacious apartment the whole depth of the building, but narrower, by the width of • the passage which communicates with the back premises from the side front door. The front makes an elegant double shop, with doors in the centre, and above is a light balcony, supported en brackets. The first floor is approached by a circular stair-case of iron, and di. vided into six commodious chambers, well lighted; while above, to the inside of the ridge, is a dry and safe store-room. The walls and roof are composed of galvanised corrugated iron fixed to a framework of iron securely bolted and' screwed, and the inner walls are lined with wood. The desiderata of lightness and strength are thus successfully achieved, and such houses must be invaluable in a place where safe custody is so necessary among the thieves and the temptations which abound. Some difficulty would be found in cutting into an iron house, and if vio lence were attempted the walls would ring like an adarum bell. We understand that in the mansion just finished there are above 16 tons of metal, including . six tons of sheet iron, and also about 30 tons of timber in doors and. window frames, flooring, partitions, wall-lining, &c. The large iron house in course of erection is no less than 80 feet in width of frontage, 40 feet in depth, and 20 feet in height to the eaves, capable, therefore, of containing about 1600 tons of measurement goods. At the same works is being prepared a boomerang propeller for Her Majesty's steam yacht Fairy. POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. STEALING FROM TBEPERSON.—SaraIi Smithwas charged with abstracting on Saturday last, from the pocket of James Paterson, a purse containing a sovereign and a shilling. It appeared Paterson had been drinking in the prisoner's company when he lost his money. The case was proved, and she was sent to prison for twenty-one days. STEALING TALLOW FRO3I A Smr.—Henry King, an elderly man, who had been employed as ship-keeper, on board the Charles, lying in the Bramley-Moore Dock, and William Smith, an apprentice in the same ship, were charged with stealing from the vessel a quantity of tallow. The prisoners were apprehended on leaving .the dock, and the tallow was found in their possession. King said the tallow, which amounted in value to about thirty shillings, had been given to him. Smith admitted that it had been stolen, but said it was taken for the purpose of being sold, to give the coopers an allowance. The captain said no authority had been given to any one to take tallow, or any thing else, for such a purpose as that stated. He also said ship-keeper, at had a,n he said, of King was employed a g uinea a-ivee. by him as The epris onerSmith been an apprentice two years, and had, generally, con ducted himself well. He should have no objection to take him back to the ship again after this was settled. The magistrate, after remarking in terms of severe reproba tion on the conduct of King, who, beity , paid good wages and being employed in a place of trust, had betrayed the confidence reposed in him, and been guilty of theft, sen tenced King to be imprisoned one month ; Smith he remanded till to-morrow. LOITERING ABOUT FOR AN ILLEGAL PURPOSE.—Ben.. jamin Johnson and Thomas Karr were charged with being in collusion with prostitutes and thieves, on Satur day last, in London-road, Queen -square, and other places, pushing themselves into crowds, and otherwise endeavour. mg to pick pockets. No direct case was brought against them. Karr, it appeared, had been brought before the magistrates on twelve previous occasions, on one of which only he had been convicted, when he was sentenced to imprisonment for nine months, he was now ordered to he imprisoned for three months ; and Johnson, who was not previously known on any charge, was discharged with an admonition to be more careful in the company he keeps in future. ---. SUSPECTED PEESONS.--George Green and William Boldou were brought before the bench, charged with being suspected persons. Sullivan, the detective officer, said, that in consequence of information which had been lodged at the police-office, relative to robberies perpetrated in dwelling-houses while the inmates were attending divine service, he was on the look-out last night in Hope street. At a short time after seven o'clock he saw the prisoners, under circumstances which arroused his suspi cion, and he watched them. They went in the direction of Mount-pleasant, on observing him, and after noticing that he had obtained the aid of another officer they ran away. They were followed, and after some tro u bl e th ey were separately apprehended. On being taken to the bridewell they pretended not to know- each other. One of them said he was a pugilist, and the other had admitted to the officer that he procured his living by cards. The magistrate remarked that very great suspicion attached to their conduct, but as no direct act of dishonesty had been eight, obtained m i. o t rning brought home to them, he should dismiss the case; he at the same time cautioned them that they were known to, and under the eye of the police, and if again brought up they would not be so leniently dealt with.
