STEAM TO AUSTRALIA. THE repeated mishaps of the screw Steam-ship Australian, following so immediately after the dis asters of the Melbourne, and the anything but satisfactory performances of the Adelaide, all be longing to the Australian Royal Mail Screw Steam Shipping Company, has led to serious doubts whe ther any advantage is to be derived from steam in our communications with Australia over the ordi nary sailing vessels. It is evident that, after the rapid voyages of the Eagle, the Marco Polo, and other ships, the superiority of steam has not yet been made apparent ; and though particular causes for the delay in each several steam voyage have been assigned, the triumph of steam has yet to be accomplished. The failure of the Melbourne, which put into Lisbon in such a wretched plight, is, perhaps, only a proof of the inferiority of our go vernment-built ships, when compared with those constructed in private building yards ; but, being followed so closely by the repeated attempts of the Australian to perform the voyage, and her being ultimately compelled to return to London, shows that those entrusted with the management of these vessels have something yet to learn before they are in a position to carry out their undertakings. In the case of the latter vessel, it has been reported by the Government Inspector that the recent disaster was probably owing to her being overloaded to the extent of about four hundred tons ; but this only shows the incompetency of those who were en trusted with her fitting out, and also the incapacity of the Government authorities at Plymouth, who reported her to be seaworthy. This Company ap pear to have been, so far, particularly unsuccessful, neither of the four vessels belonging to them having yet been able to surpass the performances of several of the sailing vessels from Liverpool. One of them reached her destination in 79 days, another took 95 days, and the Sydney was 104 days on the passage out ; while several of the Liverpool vessels have performed the voyage in little more than eighty days. It would appear that it is only on this line that steam has failed to show its superiority, and the failure is attributed to imperfect arrangements for the necessary supply of coals ; but, unless more effectual means are taken to perfect these arrange ments, we cannot prevent the impression that Aus tralia will not derive any benefit from steam com munication until America enters into the compe tition, as it has done on the New York line, and stimulates England into the exertions requisite for success. AsHPITS.—A correspondent, who signs "Caleb," complains of Mr. Newlands, the borough engineer, and Mr. R. Glad stone, who, he says, appear to be in favour of abolishing the the old system of ash-pits, &c., and substituting closets. He protests against this innovation, for the reasons that the construction of many houses render them impracticable; that in many cases the remedy would be worse than the disease; that the sewers now; in use would be inadequate, and the owners of house property would be put to an enor mous expense. He suggests that the Council should under take to be their own scavengers. EPHRA.—We have again been obliged to postpone the insertion of his " letter on familiar subjects." A CHURCHMAN asks how next Friday is to be kept, it being a Fast of the Church, as Good Friday ; and a Feast, as the Annunciation of the Blesssed Virgin Mary. A. o.—His " Lines on Christmas" are somewhat out of season, but they well deserve keeping. tiberpoot :tanbarb, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 22, 1853. THE JEW BILL THE third reading of the Jew Bill was appointed for Friday last, although it was shrewdly suggested that it might with more propriety have been fixed for Friday next. It has, however, been postponed until Monday, the 11th of April, so that an oppor tunity is still afforded for resisting the last step for publicly declaring the Legislature of Great Britain to be no longer even nominally Christian. The Bill has been supported by a combination of Radi cals, Romanists, Socinians, and men of no religion at all, notwithstanding that it has only been pro posed to gratify the ambition of one or two indi- viduals ; for it is a striking fact that the Jews, as a body, disclaim any country but the one they were driven from, and have presented no petitions in favour of this measure. We trust, however, to have once more occasion to be thankful that we have a House of Lords ; for on no occasion is the value of the Upper House more apparent than when they interpose to stay the unconstitutional proceedings of the tyrant majority in the Commons. It may be instanced as a proud distinction for this port, that while vessels from London have met with disasters, in some cases before their final de parture, and several after being laden have been condemned as unseaworthy, no such calamities have occurred with Liverpool ships, which in the Aus tralian trade especially have won the palm both for speed and safety.

THE HIGH LEVEL RAILWAY SCHEME. To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Sin,—The attention of the Polytechnic Society and the public has been drawn, as a novelty, to a plan for a High Level Railway along the Liverpool Docks. Permit me to point out that a project was submitted to the public in 1845, for a railway connecting the Lancashire and Yorkshire line, near Bootle, and continuing it on arches along the Liverpool Docks, to a point of junction with the London and North-Western, effecting thereby a saving of upwards of three miles in the first 25 miles out of Liver.. pool ; and, moreover, embracing a solution of the diffi culty suggested at the meeting of the Polytechnic Society, as to how the goods could be cleared away after they got into the waggons. This project was registered in the autumn of 1845, by the London agents of one of the most eminent legal firms of this town.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully, A SUBSCRIBER. Liverpool, 21st March, 1853. THE PORTERS at the Tithebarn-street Station struck, on Friday, without giving sufficient notice for the officials to lay their demands before the head management. With promptitude the vacancies were supplied from other quarters. THE PILOTAGE BILL.—The Liverpool Pilot deputation, consisting of Mr. J. Nelson Wood (chairman), Mr. R. W. Houghton (deputy chairman), Messrs. Henry Jen kins, Richard Kershaw, William Mann, John Bigham, David Rowland (secretary), Joseph Cooke, (superinten dent), and M. D. Lowndes (solicitor), had an interview with the Right Hon. E. Cardwell and Lord Stanley, of Alderley, on Saturday. The deputation was accompanied by Mr. Charles Turner, M.P. A deputation from the Liverpool Master Pilots on the subject of the Pilotage Bill, had also an interview with the Right Hon. E. Card well and Lord Stanley, of Alderley, on Saturday, at the Board of Trade. The deputation consisted of Messrs. William Hudson, John Shepherd. William Hughes, and William Rowlands (Master Pilots). The deputation was accompanied by Mr. Turner, Mir. ; and Mr. Brown, M.P. LIBERATION OF THE MADIAI. IT was announced by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in the House of Commons on Friday, that a telegraphic despatch had been received that day with the intel ligence that the GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY had liberated the MADIAI, who had left that country in a ship for Marseilles. The intelligence is gratifying as far as concerns the individuals thus rescued from the lingering death to which they were consigned for receiving the "glad tidings of salvation, which should be to all people," and the act of tardy grace was no doubt owing to the judicious remonstrance of the British Minister; but it does not remove one iota of the stain upon the petty tyrant who inflicted the punishment, nor does it palliate in the slightest degree the condemnation, which will remain an in delible proof of the bitter intolerance of the Romish Church, whenever she has the power to put into exercise her unchanging spirit of demoniac cruelty and oppression. Those who clamour for religious liberty, should remember, that Rome allows no liberty to read the Holy Scriptures. PRESIDENT PIERCE'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS. THE inaugural address of General PIERCE, the new President of the United States of America, which was delivered on the opening day, the 4th of March, has at least the merit of declaring, though in courtly phrases, the leading points of the policy which is to guide his government. It is said to have been received with vociferous applause, and to have given general satisfaction on that side the Atlantic ; but this will not necessarily ensure it fa vour on our side. The discussion with reference to the acquisition of the island of Cuba,—bearing in mind the buccaneering expeditions from New Orleans, and the refusal of America to join in the treaty offered by Great Britain and France to secure the possession of Cuba to Spain,—has thrown strong suspicion upon the model republic with reference to her ulterior designs upon that island, and this is in no way removed by the cautious language of Presi dent PIERCE. He says : "It is not to be disguised that our attitude as a nation, and our position on the globe, render the acquisition of certain posses sions, not within our jurisdiction, eminently impor tant for our protection, if not in the future, essen tial for the preservation of the rights of commerce and the peace of the world. Should they be ob tained, it will be through no grasping spirit, but with a view to obvious national interest, and se curity, and in a manner entirely consistent with the strictest observance of national faith," We may pass over the observation about national faith, as mere words of course, and learn from this admis sion, that, under her new President, America will not long want a decent pretext for robbing the pros trate kingdom of Spain of almost her only colony. The new President, after asserting the rights of his countrymen both at home and abroad, and his de termination to maintain those rights "upon every sea, and on every soil," founds upon it a claim which may fairly be called in question. He says : " It can hardly be necessary to re-affirm a principle which should now be regarded as fundamental. The rights, security, and repose, of this Confederacy reject the idea of interference or colonization on this side of the ocean by any foreign power, beyond present jurisdiction, as utterly inadmissible." We can have no wish to interfere with any territory which claims the protection of the stripes and stars, hut this manifest dictation to the whole of the vast continent of the two Americas is a bombastic as sumption, which we can by no means admit. Upon the vexed question of Slavery and the maintenance of the fugitive Slave law, the new Pre sident shows himself to be the tool of the slave holders of the south. He certainly does not men tion the obnoxious word in his opening address, but he blandly speaks of the "involuntary servi tude"—a mild phrase for such inhuman tyranny and cruelty, in a land of professing liberty—which exists in different States of this confederation, as re cognised by the constitution, and believes that the States wherein it exists are entitled to efficient re. media to enforce the constitutional provisions. He goes further, and holds that the laws of 1850, which he says are commonly called the "compromise measures," but which are better known as the fugitive slave laws, are strictly constitutional, and to be unhesitatingly carried into effect. This must be an American opinion of their Constitution which declares all men to be free and equal, and a conve nient forgetfulness of the fact that the positive illegality of Slavery was only prevented from being declared by Congress, by the accidental absence of one member, who was necessary to make a consti tutional majority. The best friends and the warm est advocates of Ameriean institutions will not deny that their greatest blot, and the one which falsifies all their professions of justice and freedom, is that hideous system of Slavery which prevails in the Southern States. It is the worm which preys upon the vitals of the model Republic, the source of never-ceasing anxiety, and one which must sooner or later prove the means of her destruction, to a fa more frightful extent than even the wildest theories of the ultra-democrats in the North. The new Government commences under Southern aus pices, but a sense of the enormities there perpe trated has been awakened, the spirit of opposition is aroused, and it may require far more than the ephe meral popularity of President PIERCE to preser►e much longer a union between the extravagance of zen of ds, 7 6 ' deira, )gnac, brnaf ONS IsT, on .iy, on will nst.,. nne- 3ide eet 6 Two vets, oor- ETY ;Ca ;OA ►ND WS, tins, awls Silk and ort lade DS will int , the IS • 3al ;e, VALUABLE SHOPS, DWELLING-HOUSES, WORK SHOPS, AND PREMISES, IN SCO7'LAAD-ROAD NAYLOR-S7'REET, MARYBONE, AND CHERRY LANE, LIVERPOOL.

THE recurrence of so many frightful accidents on Railways in various parts of the kingdom has natu rally created a considerable degree of excitement, and rendered it imperative that some steps should be taken, in order to secure, as far as possible, the public safety. It appears to have been useless that Coroner's Inquests have been held, and verdicts of manslaughter returned against some unfortunate engine-driver or policeman ; vain, likewise, was the hope that a Railway Director falling a victim to such a catastrophe would be the means of putting an end to them ; for since the death of Mr. GIBBS, on the Great Western line, they appear to have in creased with appalling regularity. The attention of Parliament has been called to the subject, and though, amidst the complaints of the House of Lords, none of the speakers were prepared to sug gest an adequate remedy, some hope was afforded that the Committee of the House of Commons, which is now sitting on the subject, would be able to devise some practicable plan. It is becoming evi dent that much of the insecurity of railway travel ling is owing to inefficient management, to ill-judged parsimony in the employment of competent ser vants, and a system of rewarding engine drivers for economy in fuel, by which dangerous risks are run, in order to gain speed at the least cost of steam. It is totally useless to attempt to ensure safety by visiting the consequences of accident upon some ill-paid official. In every case of accident a search ing investigation should be made into the circum stances which gave rise to it, and wherever it is found to have been caused by the want of a suffi cient number of servants to perform the duty ex pected of them, the managing parties should be held liable for the consequences. Railway com panies enjoy a monopoly of public conveyance, and it will not do to plead the lowness of dividends as any excuse for inadequacy of means to perform their contract with the public; for that result has chiefly been caused by extravagance of expenditure. Those who travel by railway have a right to demand that proper care be taken for their safety; and if this is not done by the companies, it will be the duty of the Legislature to interfere, and impose such restrictions as will accomplish this end,—at least, as far as is practicable by human means. 'We are apt to vaunt our advantages in scientific skill, and look with something like contempt upon our continental neighbours, but we should rather feel ashamed that in this particular, wherein we took the lead, we are far surpassed by other nations, who not only convey their passengers much cheaper, but rarely give us the opportunity of recording a dread ful accident. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A COUNTY MAGISTRATE. IT iS our painful duty to record the melancholy death of RICHARD BENSON BLUNDELL HOLLINSHEAD BLUN DELL, Esq., of Daysbrook, West Derby, under most distressing circumstances. As far as we have been able to collect the particulars, the circumstances are as follow : On Saturday forenoon last, about ten or half-past ten o'clock, the carriage was ordered for the purpose of con veying some members of the deceased gentleman's family to Liverpool, and Mr. Blundell himself was asked to ac company them, but he declined to do so, and remained about the premises. Subsequently he was seen to be walking about the grounds, and apparently intent upon making an inspection of some of his adjoining farms, which was not unusual with him. On the arrival of the family at home, from Liverpool, in the afternoon, they found the deceased absent, but this did not came them any surprise, and it was not until his return 1.. d been delayed considerably beyond his usual hours, that the family became anxious about him. After remaining in a state of painful suspense during the whole of Saturday evening, enquiries were made by the family at the Lime street and Exchange railway stations, as to whether the deceased had left either station for the purpose of going to the collieries at Wigan, which he was in the habit of visiting frequently ; but it was found that he had not proceeded by either line; and it having also been as certained that the deceased had not been at the coal yard in Liverpool, on Saturday, great fears were enter tained for his personal safety ; and on Sunday forenoon a diligent search was made in the neighbourhood of the mansion at Daysbrook, as well as the surrounding district of West Derby, when, about noon, one of the servants of the deceased discovered a hat floating on the surface of a pond, in a field about 300 yards distant from the de. ceased's residence. The hat was at once secured, and on examining the lining, the deceased's name was found written inside. There could now be no further doubt as to the fate which had befallen the unfortunate gentleman. Assistance having b een p r ocured, the pond was dragged, and about half-past one o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the body of the deceased was discovered, and taken out of the water, and at once conveyed to his resi dence at Daysbrook. The pond in which the body was found is in a field . not connected with the de cease d' s es tate, but belonging to an adjoining property. It i s situate near what is called Finch Farm, and lies between the deceased's residence and Yew Tree, the residence of Lawrence Heyworth, Esq., M.P. We understand the last time the deceased was seen by any of the domestics at Daysbrook, was about twelve o'clock on Saturday, when he was noticed by one of the servauta walking along the carriage road in the direction of the spot where his body was ultimately found. The deceased, who wgs about 60 years of age, has left a widow and four sons and two daughters, to lament his untimely death. He has been for many years one of the most extensive coal proprietors in Lancashire. He was also a magistrate of the county, and was a gentleman universally respected and esteemed. The inquest upon the body will be held this morning, a ten o'clock, at Mr. Bulmer's hotel, at West Derby. LYING-IN HOSPITAL. Yesterday the annual meeting of the subscribers to the Lying in-Hospital was held in the Medical Hall, Hope street ; the Mayor, Samuel Holme, Esq., presiding. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, referred to the great pleasure he had in presiding at a meeting of such an Institution as the Lying in Hospital. Liverpool re joiced in her Infirmary, and her Hospitals ; and, again in her educational establishments, her libraries, and museums, which were proofs of her elegance and refine ment ; and if they were actuated by a truly christian spirit, they would leave no class neglected, but re lieve misery and pain wherever they found it. (Hear, hear.) His worship proceeded to enforce the claims of the institution upon the public in most eloquent terms. He remarked that upon that sex whom man was bound to love, protect, and cherish, the primeval cause entailed upon us by sin was most severely felt. It was said in Scripture, that in sorrow should she bring forth children ; but when to that sorrow was united the sting of poverty, the pinching wants of an unprovided family, and an inability to procure actual necessaries at such a trying time, that was hard indeed ; and all who could do so ought to fly to her succour. (Hear, hear.) His worship, after some further eloquent observations, illustrative of the benefits which the institution was capable of conferring upon the poor, concluded his remarks by stating that he would commend the hospital to the notice of his fellow townsmen, and he hoped that its means and objects would become more and more extended. tCheers.) The Report was then read by the secretary. It stated that that part of the hospital devoted to labours was going on in a very satisfactory manner, as far as re garded the order, cleanliness, and comfort of the patients. The number of labour cases admitted during the year was 136 ; special ward cases 21 ; dispensary cases 1931. The ward established last year for the complex, or cases of a special nature, had been found to be of great service ; but it was so expensive that the committee could not, with justice to the funds, allow it to be kept open beyond the end of the past year nor could they open it again without some special fund being provided for its direct maintenance. The committee had also been compelled to close the dispensaries from the same reason. They found that people came for assistance from a dis tance, recommended by persons not at all connected with the institution. The registry for nurses was pro gressing satisfactorily. The amount received during the year for registry and inquiry fees was £3O. is. Bd. From the treasurer's report it appeared that there was a balance of £B5. 4s. 3d. remaining to the credit of the hospital. The committee recommended the continuance of the privilege granted to clergymen to send any person for admission known to be deserving. The Rev. G, W. WARR, incumbent of St. Saviour's Church, in an appropriate speech, moved the adoption of the Report, and the Committee of Ladies and Gentle men for the ensuing year. Mr. ROUNTII WAITE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The MAYOR here said, that Mr. John C. Deane (son of Sir J. E. Deane), Secretary of the Great Industrial Ex hibition of Dublin, who had accompanied him (the Mayor) to the meeting, had been obliged to leave the room ; but before doing so he handed him a sovereign in aid of the funds of the society. (Cheers.) Mr. JAMES STITT moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor ; which, having been seconded, was carried with acclamation. The i(AYoahaving acknowledged the compliment, the proceedings terminated. MEETING OF THE LIVERPOOL CORN TRADE, YESTERDAY. In accordance with a requisition from a numerous body of members of the corn trade, addresssed to Robert Woodward, Esq., chairman of the committee of the Liverpool Corn Exchange, a meeting of the stand.holders in the Corn Exchange was held yesterday at one o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best mode of forming a Corn Merchants' Association. The requisi tion stated that " the loose manner i n w hi c h the term Custom of the Trade' is understood, and the continued disputes that arise out of this indefinite term, demand some better adjustment. All the leading branches of commerce in Liverpool have their respective associations, which associations act as exponents of their views and necessities both t, government and the local authorities. In this way they are found to work well, each for its own especial benefit, and all for the advancement of the general commerce of the port. The corn trade alone is unrepresented by such a body." • Among those present we observed Messrs. Robert Woodward, Geo. Joseph Thompson, Maxwell Brothers, A. F. and R. Maxwell. Dan. Powell, Halsall Segar, Henry Jump, Peter Marrow, Robert Makin, J. and M. Harnett, Wm. Rathbone, jun., Robert Procter, Wm. Blain, John Herd, Charles Cusack, John Lynch, John Bingham, John Tomlinson, D. F. Fynney, Charles B. Buchanan, George Pym, Samuel Radford, Gecrge Borthwick, George and Sylvanus Pim, Little and Erskine, Ball, Kilpatrick, Baker, Leicester, Frefry, and Hubback. Mr. 'Woodward having been called to the chair, Mr. Geo. J. Thompson proceeded to read the requisition call ing the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said that, having received a requisition signed by sixty-two firms and individuals, members of the corn trade, comprising many of the longest standing and high respectability, he felt it his duty at once to call the present meeting. Alluding more particularly to the con tract system, and to the necessity of every contract being carried out in its original integrity and full meaning, he enforced the propriety of an association like the one pro posed being established. By the present custom of the trade, the golden rule was too frequently neglected. They did not think of doing unto others as they would have others do unto them. The standard of morality was lowered, and their rule became, "Let us do unto others as they do unto us." (Laughter, and " Hear, hear.") If, by means of an association, they could bring about a better state of things, they would do a service, not only to the trade, but to the community. (Hear. hear.) Mr. HUBBACK moved the first resolution—" That the corn trade of Liverpool is at present conducted in an un satisfactory manner, whether as regards the uncertainty respecting the term ' customs of the trade,' the heavy charges as compared with those at many other ports, or want of correct statistical information.' Mr. Hubback illustrated each of these points in succession. They had all, he contended, experienced the defects which were embodied in the resolution he had submitted. The only sure and fixed custom appeared to be, that if a man could, by any means, get rid of a bad bargain, he would do so. At present a strong temptation to act in this manner was put in the way of the dealers ; not from any inherent dis honesty did this arise, but rather from the uncertainty which was permitted to exist; and hence there was a powerful reason for the removal of the temptation. He then showed, from tabular documents compiled for the purpose, that in respect of both porterage and cartage, at Liverpool it was most expensive, and far exceeded that at any other port. The warehouses were, unfortunately, scattered through the town, and when they remembered that about one-ninth part only of the grain imported into Liverpool was consumed here, and that the remainder was first carried to the warehouses, and then removed from the town, they would at once see the immense out lay which the position of the warehouses caused. That such a state of things, in connexion with the landing of produce, was most injurious to the trade, as well as to the public. The want of statistical information was such, that not one person among them could possibly tell the quantity of wheat in Liverpool. (Hear, hear.) In con clusion, he touched upon a topic of general as well as local interest—the absurd differences which exist in the mode of selling corn throughout the kingdom. He thought that here the association might usefully employ itself in bringing into operation a more simple and con sistent system. (Applause.) Whatever might be the result of their meeting, he could not sit down without expressing the sense of gratitude which he felt to the chairman, to whom they were indeed much indebted. (Applause.) FRA - Ncrs MAXWELL seconded the motion. He wished that all they endeavoured to do would be accom plished with unanimity. He referred to the fact that individuals, purchasing grain in foreign markets, will pass over Liverpool, and take it almost anywhere else in pre ference. This indicated the existence of evils, to the removal of which the association might with propriety address itself.. (Hear.) The warehouse arrangements, too, were very bad. Thus, by the present system, they might see some twenty men, for instance, engaged in warehousing say 2000 bushels of wheat—the property of several merchants; whereas, if they concentrated their operations, five men would accomplish the whole work easily. (Applause.) The resolution was then put and agreed to unanimously. Mr. GEORGE J. THOMPSON submitted the second reso lution, which will be found with the others in our adver tising columns, and which was to the effect that the meeting, recognising the necessity for the step, form an association. He hoped that this association would be based upon liberal and at the same time just and equi table grounds. The strenuous support of themwould all render it of immense benefit to themselves individually,lo the trade at large, and to the public. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DANIEL POWELL seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. A somewhat desultory discussion was originated by Mr. WIL L I A M RATHBONE , junior, who suggested th a t t h e association should have some more comprehensive title than that of the Liverpool Corn Merchants' A ssoc i ation-- the one first embodied in Mr. Thornpson's moti on . Ulti ma tely, on the motion of Mr. BALL, it was unani mously resolved that of of fht Liverpool." r s p so e c e i l a . t , i , on be "The Association of the Corn styl e Corn Trade Mr. J. W. MARROW then moved the appointment of a committee, with liberty to add to their number ; se conde4 by Mr. SEGAR, and adopted. A suggestion of Mr. WILLIAM RATRBONE to the effect that the Corn E xc h ange Committee should be ex ejficio members of the committee, was withdrawn by that gen tleman, a s th e proposal seemed distasteful to various parties present, Mr. D. P OW ELL remarking that the Corn Exchange Cemmittee had too much power already. Mr. MAXWELL next moved, and Mr. FREDERICK LYON seconded the third resolution, fixing the rate of subscription at a guinea, and appointing Mr. Joseph Hub back to the office of honorary secretary, and \lr. George J. Thompson to that of honorary . treasurer, p ro t empore. This resolution was carried unanimously, after which a vote of thanks was moved to the Chairman, with the acknowledgment of which the proceedings terminated. A DEPUTATION FROM LIVERPOOL upon the subject Of the duty upon soap, with reference to the trade in palm oil from Africa, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Friday, at his official residence, in Downing-street. The deputation consisted of Mr. James Aspinall Tobin and Mr. George Horsfall, accompanied by Mr. Charles Turner, member for Liverpool.
