TO CORRESPONDENTS Our correspondent "One of the Aggrieved," does not appear to have a very correct idea of either the duties or the privi leges of the press, in asking us to insert his letter. In the first place, he does not give us his name, as a guarantee of the truth of his statements and of his own disinterestedness ; and, in the next place, it does not follow that because we have spoken highly of the ability shown by a party in conducting a certain establishment, the excellence of his apparatus, and:the proficiency of his pupils, we are to be answerable for any sub sequent moral delinquency. With respect to the party referred to by our correspondent, we cau only say that the importance of the branch of education and training which he proposed to - teach, and did teach well, was impressed upon us by several medical men. We were induced to visit his establishment, and we expressed an honest opinion of what we saw there. it seems that such opinion was fully borne out by his conduct, and that he possessed the full confidence of his pupils up to a week or two since. Our notice was published about January, and we certainly could not foresee what was tole ccur fully six months afterwards. The task, therefore, does not at all de volve upon us by right to expose the party offending, and thereby to bring ourselves within the fangs of the law. His pupils who are aggrieved have ample remedy in their own hands, by a process which will involve sufficient exposure. c ~ ~j~ itherpooi ptanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 21, 1846. The following announcement of the terms, upon which Ministers will endeavour to effect the settle ment of the Sugar Question, we copy from the London Times of yesterday, which may, upon questions of free trade, be considered as the Go vernment organ. Of it correctness we do not feel )n ; neither is it to exi,i es worth ‘v h _ )babilay we shall have an _ portunity of giving the official statement in an early second edition : " Wiithout making any pretension to the perilous function assigned to us by the honourable member for Finsbury, we believe we may confidently acquaint our readers with the outlines of the plan in which the Cabinet deliberations on the sugar duties have finally resulted_ It is not such as was remotely contemplated at the very commencement of the month by the chiefs of the still unformed Cabinet, though, on the other hand, a some what more modified measure than that which a contem porary has been at considerable pains to force upon the Government. The distinction between slave and free grown sugar is, of course, immediately to cease; on that r oue thorn haa bac n no alteration . Instead however. of a three years' maintenance of the existinc , protection against foreign sugar of free growth, it will be proposed that the gradual diminution shall immediately commence. According to a scale which has been shown to us, the ab solute duty on foreign sugar will for the ensuing twelve month be about 215., and the protective duty will finally expire at the end of five years, when all the sugars of all the world will be, admitted on the 14s. duty, to which our own colonial sr-- enbject." igar is nrT It is of little use to attempt further confutation of the absurd falsehoods levelled by our Whig-Radical contemporaries against his Worship the Mayor. The share of objurgation which has fallen upon ourselves, we treat with the most profound con tempt. We are neither the hired nor the prompted advocates of the Mayor; and we should be sorry— we should be ashamed—to be numbered amongst the tools of his or any other man's personal ene mies. Our contemporaries, however, are laying themselves open to the latter supposition. People are asking, Whence this rabid persecution of the chief magistrate of our town ? There is obviously a sore somewhere or other. Whig-Radicalism is offended, for some cause, or no cause. His worship has, perhaps, not invited to his table this or that Whig-Radical member of the fourth estate. Some people are fond of dining out—fond of turtle—of Town-hall cookery and Corporation wines. Some may be fond of spouting their own praises on such and all available occasions. The main question, however, presses,—Whence all this rage against an individual gentleman, invested with a high office, upon an occasion so interesting as the visit of the husband of our gracious Sovereign to this town ? It is inexplicable to men of ordinary information. Those who are behind the scenes can easily enough answer it. It galls the Whig Radical faction in Liverpool that a Protestant and Tory mayor should have the chance of dispensing the hospitality of the town to a royal visitor. Everybody understands that; and, like children, their organs are finding fault with the arrangements of the coming entertainment. The quarrel is about as dignified as would be the ire of an old Tabby, because she had been set down, at an evening party, with the blue china, instead of the green and gold. The whole thing is shameful — nay, degrading. Surely, there are times when we can afford to throw mere party to the winds; and such a time, we should imagine, would be the occa sion which is approaching. There is a difference, however, in tastes. Whig Radicalism has strange notions of propriety and of decency. We are to have party fights in the very presence of royalty; and a condescension of the husband of the sovereign is to be made the opportunity for a display of party bitterness and vulgar vituperation. We are confident that the Mayor will emerge triumphantly from the cloud of imputations brought against him. We can assure the gentlemen who are devoting their weak wits and their weaker pens to the odious task of vilifying him, that they cannot earn honour—we fear, scarcely their own heart's approbation—from the course which they are pur suing. They may disgust their fellow -townsmen. They cannot effect, what they are striving for, any diminution of the honour, or the pleasure, which his royal highness's presence amongst us will confer upon loyal men and good subjects. A few hours will probably put us in possession of the views of ministers with respect to the sugar duties ; and, if any conclusion can be drawn from the hesitation displayed in propounding them, we may anticipate an early crisis of the new govern me -it upon this question. A spirited opposition must he directed against any proposal to submit the produce. of our sugar growing colonies to open competition in our markets with the produce of slave -importing countries; and if, as is most pro bable, any consid era bl e section o f t h e f o ll owers o f Sir Robert Peel refuse to go the length of Lord John Russell and the ult ra f ree tra d ers , an imme diate dissolution o f parliament is the next step in the drama. The inquiry ther e f ore suggests itself— upon what principles is the battle to be fought be fore the constituencies ? The question involved in the settlement of the sugar duties is obviously too narrow a ground for a great constitutional struggle. The whole questi on of protection to native and colonial industry might have formed such a ground ; but this isolated rem nant of it cannot be made a test of the opinions of the country, upon the general policy which is to I regulate the administration of its affairs, or serve as a basis for the re-construction of parties, at present so utterly broken up. It is quite possible that, upon this single question Lord John Russell might secure a majority sufficient to enable him to carry out his views. The agricultural constituenc'es might not be disinclined to see the same rule ap )lied to the great staple of the colonists which has en forced upon themselves. But to the other ladical crotchets, which we are threatened \ big- A mi )trap cry of cheap with, they will remain resolutely opposed nistry seated in_ power by the claj sugar could only exercise its functions, in dealing with other questions, by usurpation, and must spee dily be brought once more to a check. It is clearly the duty of the constituencies to take wider ground than this question of protection or non-protection of colonial industry in their selec tion of candidates ; and never perhaps did a crisis present itself more favourable than the present for the leturn of a parliament, with opinions and prin ciples in general unison with those of the intelligent masses of the people. For years past the leading questions at the hustings have been on speculative and theoretical matters; questions as to the mode in which the commerce of the country is to be dealt with, or the more abstract ones of constitutional change, whilst the more vital considerations, affect ing our moral and social improvement, have been thrown into the shade. We have had reforming parliaments and free trade and protectionist parlia ments. We want a parliament, now, which will take a more extended view of the country's require ments, and apply itself to the removal of evils, which have been overlooked in the late rage for mere fiscal changes, or treated as too deeply seated for legislative handling. Happily we have got rid ' of the bulk of those questions, which have served to mislead the national mind from a consideration of the true interests of the country, and the best means of securing the happiness of the people. The bulk of our purely selfish and commercial questions are set at rest, and we have leisure to turn in another direction. The business of " the shop," as it were, being arranged, we have time to look into the state of the household and examine the moral and phy sical health of its inmates. What a field we have here for the statesman. Let us just glance at the most prominent objects which it presents. The first and most important of these is the question, which must now come to an issue—are we henceforth to he intitled to the name of a Protestant and Christian nation ? For years, whilst absorbed in the selfish considerations of trade, or legislating for speculative reforms, we have been frittering away that character, undermining our National Church, and pampering the heresy of Rome. The question must be broadly put to the nation, and must be the leading one asked of every candidate at the hustings,—is this system of bit by bit concession to the demands of error to go on ? If it is, let us know our fate at once. Tear the mask from off the face of the foul thing, and let English men say whether they will submit to hug and feed its deformity. Again, if we call ourselves a Christian nation, we must set ourselves to the ta=k of providing for the religious wants of our population. We have grow ing up around us, attracted by the employment afforded in manfacturing and commercial pursuits, vast masses of labourers, mechanics, and traders, immersed from morning until night in their.various avocations, and imperatively requiring the teaching and the comforts of religion, How are these to be provided ? Individual exertions cannot do it. We are too deeply sunk in selfishness to spare from our superfluity enough to furnish the means of supply ing a sufficiency of buildings and ministers for the worship of God and the saving of souls. Our com mercial and manufacturing capitalists can raise hun dreds of thousands to push forward any measure of class aggrandisement, or to reward some successful agitator; but, when appealed to on behalf of thou sands perishing for the lack of knowledge of the truth, how slowly their contributions come in, and how miserly their amount ! The legislature—the nation, as a national matter—must take into its own hands this duty. If influenced by no higher and holier considerations, they ought to perform it from considerations of mere worldly expediency. As a community, we - erect prisons ; we dis burse the cost of the national crime ; we provide penal settlements, and pay fur death being ad minis ' tered by the hands of the executioner. Why not expend a portion of the national funds in meeting the source of the crime which we punish, by hold ing up to our erring fellow beings a knowledge of di() truth 141441 saves from crime, and its worldly and eternal punishment ? By party, as it has hitherto been formed—by Conservatism, its expedi ency policy and its cowardice, or by Whig-Radical ism, with its excessive liberality, or more properly looseness of principle, this cannot be effected. We must have a party formed to effect it, with loftier aims, with a more extended and a purer object in view, than any of those emasculated things, in ho nor of which we have been in the habit of hurraing at public festivals, or declaiming from the hustings or the platform. We are told that the present ministry is about to devote itself to measures of social amelioration, to impravement of the sanitory condition of our towns, and to the provision of some new-fangled system of secular education. In a portion of this policy there may be good involved. In the educational fea ture of it there is unmingled evil. But can we, amongst our measure.; of social amelioration, over look the duty of removing that cauterizing blister which we have fastened upon the bodies and the souls of our unfortunate poor? Our atrocious new Poor Law, with its heartless provisions and its utter tyranny, must be got rid of. We must have no more bones-crushing and bones-gnawing; no more starvation dietaries ; no more separation of man and wife, parent and child; no more bandying of poor starving human beings from workhouse to work house ; no more premiums offered for infanticide and for murder. This wretched system—an abor tion conceived by Whig-Radicalism, and supported by those mongrel politicians, who call themselves Conservatives—the nation would willingly be rid of. Our labouring masses implore its removal. It has fixed the social comfort of our population too low. It places the rate of wages at the precise points at which a human being can be supported in worse than a felon prison. Talk of the absence of protec tion ! Here is protection to the capitalist against the legitimate demands of poverty. Here is the machinery by which a fair remuneration for labour is filched from a helpless class of our fellow-beings; i by which human nature is ;'egraded to the level of the beasts, and charity, religion, brotherly love and common justice are made mockery of and outraged. Such questions as these it must be which ought to influence us in the selection of members for the next Parliament. We have a determinate policy now to fix upon for the future government of the coun try, which is not to be dictated by considerations of temporary expediency or party necessity. We can not every day afford to throw domr. a buttress of the constitution, or to submerge some important interest of the country in ruin, to prop up a minister or to feed his time-serving satellites. The affairs of a great nation must be regulated upon some fixed principles ; not like a game of chess, where a pawn is given to bring a kni g ht out of difficulty, and a castle is brought out to stave off the capture of a queen or a check-mate. The figurative allusion, we regret to say, is but too apposite. Statesmen and parties have been playing at political thess too long. It is time for us to remember that the stake perilled is the moral and social greatness of the British empire—the temporal and eternal happiness of the British people. The noble effort to provide for our seamen an escape from the harpies who live upon their plunder, the first active step in which is to be made next week, suggests the existence of another monster evil existing in our town, which we believe to be remediable. Whilst proceeding along our magni ficent docks, his Royal Highness may perhaps be struck with the vast numbers of migratory popu lation continually landing and departing from their quays. He may be told that fi ve or s i x t h ousan d persons, during the summer months, are domiciled temporarily in our town, waiting for an opportunity to emigrate. An equal number, perhaps, of a lower class, are passing to and fro with produce from Ireland, or to seek for harvest or other employment; and the thought may naturally occur to him, where do these poor unfortunates find places of rest and shelter during their residence amongst us ? Have any means been provided for securing to them a healthy night's lodging, or protection from imposi tion, or from moral or physical contamination ? The answer will be, that there are no such means provided ; that the poor wayfarers are left to draft themselves off to filthy lodging-houses, in back streets and courts, to herd with the most dissolute THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. and wretched of our population, to breathe only impurity aad imbibe disease, at the risk of being plundered from the almost utter impossibility of any police surveillance being used for their protection. Should he step aside from the view of our noble pub lic building's ; should he turn from the survey of the vast facilities which we have provided for our commerce, and give a glance into one of these fever breeding and contaminating dens, what a contrast will he see between the enterprise and lavish spirit with which we have decorated our town and ex- , tended its mercantile adv.mtages, and the utter carelessness displayed in our treatment of the suffer ing human drudges, who have created and are increasing the wealth which is spread around him. Every intelligent officer of police could describe numbers of these •lodging-houses, which it is re volting, even to those accustomed to such scenes, to enter ; and every medical man who has written upon the subject of sanatory regulation, attributes to them a great portion of the disease and crime which infest our large towns, and sweep off annually thou..' sands of our population. Speaking of such places, Lord Ebrington, in a lecture recently delivered be fore the members of the Mechanics' Institute at Plymouth, says : " I cannot read aloud the evidence about the lodging. houses in which human beings, our brethren of both sexes, are promiscuously packed, almost as close as the decks of a slave-ship, in the very room where patients th..ty be dyTng of some c , otagious disease, nay in the very sheets from whlch some victim of typhus fever has just been carried forth to his grave—such evidence as the Children Employment Commissioners give about the con dition of the lower classes at Sheffield for instance, or Leeds, of their precocious vice or premature decay ; or what I have heard from► eye-witnesses of that of the chapter property at Westminster. But what must be the religious and moral consequences of such a state of things? Can we wonder at the result? I only marvel it is not worse than it is." And other witnesses bear out this statement abun dantly. Now, we maintain that a mitigation, at least, of this evil is quite within our reach ; and that the authorities of our town, aided with powers from the Legislature, are the parties to make the effort. It would be quite possible to erect in various parts of the town inexpensive buildings, well ventilated, and supplied with the means of cleanliness, in which our casual wayfarers might be sheltered for a small charge, and protected, by proper classification, from moral and physical contamination. A system of licensing the houses kept by private individuals, with proper powers of inspection and limitation of the numbers accommodated, might also be adopted ; and care might be taken that all such houses were made suitable for the purpose, and that such build ings as are now used for lodging houses—mere hovels, unsafe:and filthy—should be disallow ed. The difficulties, we should imagine, could not be great if resolutely grappled with ; and the expense would be counterbalanced by the saving caused by the dimi nution of crime, which such places generate to a fe _rful amount. Speaking of such increase of crime, and its source, the same Noble Lord remarks ; " Why should creatures living so wretchedly fear a change for the worse? Ihey have nothing to lose in this world ; and such is their ignorance that the next has no terrors for them. Take again the gaol returns of Preston :of the prisoners tried for felony, 73, ignorant of the Saviour's name, were familiar with the histories of Dick Turpin and Jack Shepherd. A larger:per centage of the others knew these histories better than the names of the months of the year, or the meaning of vice and virtue. Mr. Clay men tions a map of the tuwn coloured darker according to the intensity of filth and squalor, and with the houses marked on it where criminals had resided, and where epidemics had caused death ; and sums up the result by saying that dirt, disease, and crime are concurrent. Read Parent Duchatelet's account of the dwellings and habits of the " classes dangereuses" at Paris, and you will only wonder that the French Revolution was not more sanguinary and terrible." An examination into the state of some parts of our own town would give similar results, which the records of our police -court would confirm. _ We only glance for the present at this subject, for the purpose of throwing out the hint for others, more able and influential, to take up. On a ftriue occasion we may be able to afford the public a few statistics upon the subject. COUNCIL MEETING Yesterday morning, a special council was held in the Council Chamber, to agree upon an address to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on his intended visit to the town. At eleven o'clock, his worship the Mayor took the chair, and there was a full attendance of the mem'.)ers. The Town-Clerk having read the summons calling the meeting. _ Mr. BRANILEY-MOORS rose, and said he would ven ture to suggest that no address should be brought forward or agreed to on the present occasion. He was aware that such had been the custom, but it was one which enabled the public to forestall the Council, and to have the matter so long before them that a good deal of the effect of the address would be destroyed. He would therefore sug gest, that the committee, which were at present making arrangements for the reception of his Royal Highness, should he empowered to draw up the address. It might be lett in their hands with safety, and there was no doubt such an address would meet with the general approbation of the Council. Such being the case he begged to move : . " That an Address from the Mayor, — Aldermen, and Burgesses, be presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert ou the occasion of his honouring this borough with a visit, and that it be referred to the Special Committee appointed on the 19th of May last, to prepare such Ad dre's, and to submit the same to this Council on Thurs day, the 30th instant, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon in the Council Chamber within the Town-hall, to which time and place this Special Council is adjourned for the pur pose of considering such Address, and presenting the same to his Royal Highness." Mr. RATHBONE suggested that the meeting should take place at nine o'clock instead of eleven. Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE had no objection, only he thought that would be rather an early hour. Perhaps ten would be better. It should be borne in mind that the meeting ought to be over in time to enable the mayor to attend to his Royal Highness on his arrival. _ The MAYOR said it should also be borne in mind that the address was to be presented to his Royal Highness by the Council as a body, and perhaps if they assembled so early his royal highness was Am it em w b ou er ld i b ng e u t i o r o ed lo w n h g a t t o t w im ai. e t expected to arrive ? Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE said at twelve o'clock. Mr. ROBINSON said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion of Mr. Bramley-Moore. He would also take the liberty of suggesting that some feeling should be ma nifested by the Council recommending that a general holiday should be kept on the 30th and 31st. He trusted that employers would allow their servants and clerks liberty on those days, and, in addition to that, that they would pay them:their wages. The MAYOR having put the motion, Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE said there might be some diffi culty as to having the address engrossed. Mr. H. HORNBY thought that difficulty might be got over by having the address engrossed previously. _ Mr. RA.TH - BONE hoped there would be good taste enough to show that the address was what it ought to be —an address of all_the people of Liverpool. Mr. BRAMLEY-MOOILE:—NO doubt . of it. Mr. V. HIGGINS said he did not rise to oppose the motion, but he thought the committee were somewhat to blame, as no report had been laid before the council by the committee of management as to the plan to be adopted. There had been no programme of the arrangements made public, and he knew nothing except what had then trans pired. Now he did say the committee ought to have made their arrangements known to every member of the coun cil. He thought in this respect the committee were a little to blame. He understood— Mr. Alderman TURNER rose to order. They were only summoned for the purpose of voting an address to Prince Albert, and not to discuss the arrangements of the committee. _ Mr. HIGGINS said if he was not allowed to proceed without, he should move an amendment to the motion. He understood their accommodation was limited. Now he would suggest a mode by which the members of the Council might get over a difficulty which he understood existed The MAYOR said he now thought that Mr. Higgins was going into matters which should not be discussed at that meeting. They would have a report from the committee and would also have an opportunity of expressing their opinion upon it, and of suggesting any amendment they might think proper. He was not aware. there was any difference of opinion in the committee as to the course to be pursued. Their arrangements were not yet complete, and it would be undesirable to lay an incomplete state ment before the Council. He was not aware of any in formation having been withheld from members of the Council, but be thought at present it would be inexpe dient to make any addition to the members of the Com mittee, and he thought it was not asking too much if he asked gentlemen to withhold their approbation or disap probation until the arrangements were complete. Mr. HIGGINS was much obligeJ to hi- worship for his sugge‘sticn, hut what he was about to propose was a remedy for an evil it hich be understood existed ; and if the Mayor had used his usual courtesy, he should have finished before now. The MAYOR said he was not aware that he had de parted from his usual courtesy, but the meeting was fora specific object, and if every member of the council adopted the same course as Mr. Higgins, he thought a large r pntion of the timewould be unelessly occupied.. ntootwe Tree again about to proceed, when . Mr. RATHBONE rose to order. They were bound to support the chair. He suggested that Mr. Higgins should wait until the arrangements of the committee were complete Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said the committee would be very glad to see Mr. Higgins at their meeting, and to hear any suggestion he had to make. Mr. HIGGINS said he had not been asked to attend the Committee. If gentlemen who talked of loss of time had permitted him to proceed, he should have finished all he had to say btfore then. He suggested that, as so large a number were desirous of being present at the breakfast, and as all the Council were to be present, every member should have the privilege of transferring his invitation to some friend ; such transfer to be approved of by the Council. Mr. H. HORNBY again rose to order, and suggested that Mr. Higgins should make his proposal to the Committee. Mr. H IGGINS said be did not wish to attend the Com- mittee The MAYOR said the Committee had no such difficulty as had been referred to ; and if such a suggestion went from the Council, he thought it would be taking an undue course, and over-riding the Committee. The motion was then put and agreed to. Mr. BRAMLEY- MOORE said the council might do some good if they would give room at the breakfast. The proceedings then terminated, and the Mayor de clared the Council adjourned to the 30th instant, at 11 o'clock in the morning.

OF TUESDAY NEXT.—We have received several impres sions of the perspective view, in tinted lithography, of "The Sailors' Home," which we purpose to present to our readers. It is admitted by all who have seen it, as well as by the architect himself, to be well and faithfully executed, and to form a picture worthy of being framed and preserved, either for the parlour or the drawing room. The building itself i 2 architecturally rich and beautiful, and the artists have done as much justice to the original drawing as the time, and the necessary rapidity of produning, so large a number of copies, hove permitted. Those who have not yet seen a specimen, would do well to call at the Standard office, or at the offices of the agents of the paper, in their own localities, and procure themselves tickets for delivery on the day of donation, otherwise they may be disappointed, as the sale of these assurances has already been great, and the demand will no doubt continue to increase. The print is 22 inches in length, by 154 in width, and, besides a beautiful and deli cate border, pu bislic buildings dngbay in f theo urfine town, vignette executedvi ews inof the the principal style of steel engravings THE MAYOR AND THE RADICAL PAPERS. Our contemporaries, the Mercury and Albion, are in extacies over a supposed error of ours upon the subject cf the grievance trumped up by them against his - Worship the Mayor, and the alleged heaps of tickets which had been returned and were lying upon the Alaycr's table. We stated that such a thing could not be, as " the invi tations" were not at the time iesued. The Mercury, however, retorts, that they were sent out on the 4th and sth of July ; and the Albion alleges that they were for warded ten clays before our remarks were written, which would be on the 4th. We propose to convince the public that both these great authorities are in the wrong, and that our statement is substantially correct. On the 10th of July, (Friday week,) the Mercury stated that on the day previous (the 9th) the Committee met to decide upon a selection of persona to be invited, and that at this meeting the alleged rumpus took place. How on earth could this Committee meet to determine who were to be invited if the tickets had gone out five days previous. according to both his own and the Albion's statement? We never meant to assert that none of the invitations were issued. Our meaning obviously was confined to the invitations to those parties whose claims the committee had met to decide upon, and who were said to have ►aken the conduct of the mayor in such high dudgeon. This is clear from the fact that we expressly stated that " Mr. Rathbone was reminded that many members of the Roman Catholic Church were already invited, including Mr. Weld, Mr. Blundell, Mr. Chaloner, and others." The members of the corporation, the borough and county magistrates, and a number of the neighbouring nobility and gentry, who could not be passed over, had indeed had early invita tions ; and that any of these were likely to be heaped on the Mayor's table at the time the Mercury was penning his assert:on of the fact (en Thursday the 9th) on ac count of a circumstance which took pace in a private committee on that day is very improbable, to say the least of it. Substantially, therefore, our statement, although capa ble of affording a subject of cavil to some people, was quite correct ; arid the assertions of our contemporaries are as obviously incorrect. Lord and Lady Stanley arrived in town, on Saturday, from Knowsley, Lancashire. Lord George Bentinck went to town by the same train ; his lordship was among the guests at Knowsley. Mr. Moore, the active agent at Liverpool o f th e Lon donderry steamers, arrived yesterday from an inspection of the Maiden City steamer, and he reports that the da mage sustained from the steamer's,being on shore at the Mull of Galloway is not so serious as was at first antici pated. He fully expects that she will be got off next tide, and that she will resume her place on the station in a few days. In the meantime the Coleraine and Falcon steam ers have been chartered to supply her place. DEATH OF CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH.—This firm and uncompromising champion of the truth breathed her last at Ramsgate in Kent on Sunday the 12th inst. She had been for two years afflicted with a distressing and painful disease, but was able to continue her labours until within a few days of her death. It pleased God to remove her at last without rain or suffering : she gradually sank un der a total exhaustion of the powers, although able within ten minutes of her death to speak with confidence of the hope that was in her. She was perfectly aware of her approaching end, and after speaking to those around her, she peaceably closed her eyes at twenty minutes before two in the afternoon, and resigned her spirit into the hands of her Saviour. Few have closed a life spent more ardently in the service of God, and in promoting the welfare of their fellow-creatures. It may truly be said, " her works do follow her." On Wednesday, the 15th, she was in terred in Ramsgate churchyard, being followed to the grave by a large concourse of people anxious to shew re spect to her memory. The Rev. Henry Beamish, who for many years enjoyed the friendship of the deceased, read the service over her. THE LATE REV. R. P. BUDDICOM.-otl Sunday week two sermons were preached in the parish church of St. Bees, on the occasion of the lamented death of the Rev. R. P. Buddicom, A.M., late Incumbent of St. Bees, and Principal of the College there. The Rev. C. W. Woodhouse, A.M., Theological Lecturer, preached in the morning, from Heb. xi. 1G; and in the afternoon the lieu. J. Hughes, A. 13., Incumbent of Congleton, from Rev. xiv, 13. All the students in residence, and a con siderable number of the inhabitants of the parish, ap peared in mourning, as a tribute of respect to the memory of their lamented Principal and Pastor. On Sunday last the Rev. J. Jones, Incumbent of St. Andrew's, improved the melancholy occurrence, by preaching a most affecting and impressive sermon at St. George's Church, Everton (so long the scene of Mr. Buddicom's christ:an exertions), in the morning; and in the evening, at his own &lurch in Renshaw-street. Mr. Jones took for his text the very appropriate passage, occurring at the 19th, 20th, and 21st verses, of the 20th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, " Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears an.] temptations which befel me, by the lying in wait for the Jews : and how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, testifying both to the Jews and also to the Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." We believe Mr. Jones was selected to deliver the discourse from his long intimacy with the lamented deceased, they having been fellow-labourers, we believe, in the Christian field for almost the same period. In the course of the sermon Mr. Jones read a most beautiful letter of con dolence, written oy Mr. Buddicom (the last act of his life), to Mrs. Horsfall, on the death of her late most excel lent husband, who was Mr. Buddicom's bosom friend from early life, and who was removed from this world only a very short period before him. THE ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB On Saturday, the sailing match for the Grand Chal lenge Cup, value £lOO, and the Ladies' puns , of 50 guineas added, took place in the outward channels of our river. The purse, an elegant piece of needle-work, and its contents, are tiken by the winning boat of the day ; the cup ►nust. be won two years consecutively by the same boat before it can be bona fide claimed by the owner of the winning boat, at tile second time of her successful sailing. The Prince, City of Dublin Co.'s steam-ship, com manded by Captain Bezley, was engaged fur the members and their faiends to follow and witness the race, and started about ten o'clock in the forenoon from the Pince's Pier, with a goodly company of ladies and gentlemen, the former numbering about fifty. A capital quadrille and brass hand was on board. The course was from New Brighton to the Bell Buoy ; thence to the Northwest Lightship, a double run round the last two points, and thence back to the place of starting. This is what in the Club parlance is termed " The Queen's Course," and the distance to be sailed in all might be about forty miles, all in the open sea, and well defined by buoys. The yachts had previously been placed in proper starting position by the Captain of the Club, on whom devolved, in addition to his own duties, those of the worthy Commodore, who was unavoidably absent. Nine fine yachts entered for the race, but owing to un foreseen circurnstances,only the following came up : The Jilt, R. T. Y. C. 19 tons,—owner J.S. Maude, Esq The Vision, IL M. Y. C. 4-1 tons,—T. Birchall, Esq. The Petrel, R. M. Y. C. 15 tons,—W. W. Shand, Esq, 'I he Victoria, R. C. Y. C. 59 tons,—D. Connor, Esq. The Leander, R. M. Y. C. 31 tons,—Jon.Grindi•od, We regret that Mr. Ewart's fine yacht, the Edith, and Mr. Naylor's Sultana were not entered, as, from the general strength of the breeze, these la rge and powerful vessels would have had a good chance of obtaining the noble prize. That singular vessel, the Enchantress, from Cork, which arrived the night previous, had carried away her main boom in crossing the channel, during the heavy gale of the preceding day, and was prevented from starting, although she was entered. The contest, consequently, seemed to remain with the Victoria (the winner of last year) and the fine new clipper yacht, the Vision, of which great expectations were entertained, and it was reserved for the spirited and worthy owner of this last vessel that she should have the honour of rescuing this splendid prize from being lost to the club, which it most assuredly would have been if the Victoria had been the victor. The morning opened, squally and unfavourable, with rain, the wind at first blowing fresh from the S. E. and afterwards blowing to the amount of a gale from the S.W. with frequent squalls and showers of rain. On the signal being given by the'Captain, the yatchts started off in good style, steering down the channel. The Victoria did not get away till a short time after the Vision. From the S.W. the wind eventually veered to the W. by S., and so kept all day, blowing fresh. The time of start ing was—the Vision, 1 lh. 49m. ; the Victoria, 11h. 51;m. ; the Jilt, Leander, and Peterel, following soon after. They reached the Bell Buoy first time—Vision at 12h. 15m. ; Victoria, 12h. 18w. ; Jilt, 12h. 26m. ; Leander, 12h. 271 m. The Vision reached the N.W. Light-ship first time at 111.31 m., and the Victoria at lb. 38m. There was a pretty race between the Jilt and the Leander, the former weathering the latter at the Light-ship. Here, however, these two vessels got out of the race, seeing their chance of winning lost from the severity of the weather, and the other smaller vessels also gave up the contest. In the double run between the Light-ship and the Bell Buoy, the Vision and the Victoria kept pretty close together, the former leading. The Victoria, in tacking the last time round the Light ship, fell upon that vessel, split her mainsail on the bowsprit, and was consequently thrown hors de combat. This accident was to be regretted, as the Vision was but a short distance in advance, and the race between the two was extremely close and beautiful. The Vision, which, after this, became evidently the winning boat, reached the flag-boat, at New Brighton, at fifty-one minutes past four o'clock—accomplishing the whole course in four hours and forty-one minutes. The Jilt on one occasion made a dolphin-like jump in the heavy sea-way, and lifted her fore-keel out of the wa ter three or four feet. The Victoria, after her misfortune, took the Rock channel, under her foresail and jib, fol lowed by the steamer. The Challenge Cup was, it may be said, gallantly won by the Vision; the day being stormy, the sea running high, and the vessels put to the severest test of seaworthiness and tackle. The steamer came to anchor off the Maga zines, but more on the Lancashire shore, and the noble prize, with the rich purse and contents, was awarded to Mr. Birchall, owner of the Vision. The Capt. of the Club, in presenting the pr!z: to the winner, complimented him on the sai qu,dities of his yacht, and the able manner in which she was managed, which was modestly and feel ingly replied to by the successful candidate. The health of Mr. Connor was also drank with cheers, and a hope expressed that he would try his luck again another day. Capt. Beziey, of the steamer was mos; attentive and kind to all on board. Although several of the ladies in the steamer suffered occasionally from sea-sickness, they kept up the dance at intervals with surprising grace and spirit. Lieutenant Lord, in the absence of the commodore, afforded, with his accustomed politeness and obliging manners, ail the nau tical information and advice in his power, and had a life boat brought out, in case of any accident, the day being so stormy. The company were all safely landed at the Clarence pier, delighted with their rough but pleasing excursion. The next club sailing match comes off o❑ the 17th of Augus On Friday Mr. James l'Cuttall, of this town, was ad mitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. STREET ROBBERY.—A woman named Williams, was yesterday committed for trial, on a charge of stealing in the street the handkerchief and stock of a man named Chalmers. We are requested to say that the Freemasons will not receive any sum from the Council, in order So meet the expenses to be incurred in their extensive preparations to celebrate the visit of Prince Albert. All the charges will be defrayed by the society. CARELESS DRIVING.—At the Police court yesterday, a youth named Luke Ryley, was charged with having carelessly driven his father's cart over a child in Renshaw street, on the 13th inst. The child has happily recovered. The prisoner was fined 40s and costs. LIVERPOOL RACES.—The following summary of the races last week may be interesting :—Total number of races, 19 ; won by favourites, 7 ; dead heats, 1 ; horses entered, 219. Won by non-favourites, 6 ; walks over, 5 ; horses started, 92; total amount of stakes, £5782; sub scriptions, £4812 ; public money given, £970. THEFT FROM A SHOP.—Yesterday at the Police-court, a man named M'Avoy, was charged with stealing a spade on Saturday, from the door of the shop of Mr. Hazle burst, ironmonger, Marybone. He was observed by a neighbour, and being pursued, dropped the spade from under his coat, in Cockspur-street, and a policeman apprehended him. He was committed for trial. POST-OFFICE REFORM.—The Guardian Society de serve credit for having moved on this subject. It is a question interesting to every inhabitant, and we are glad to see that a pubiic meeting is called for to-morrow, at which William Brown, Esq., will preside. We hope such a memorial will issue from the meeting as will compel the Government to remedy the present injurious postal ar rangements in this and other parts of the country. The meeting ought to be crowded. DUKE OF YORK LOYAL ORANGE BENEVOLENT SO CIETY, LODGE, No. 22.—The members of the above lodge have just made the following presentations : to the worshipful master, Robert Kerr, a handsome silver medal ; to their secretary, William Roberts, and their treasurer, William Gregson, a splendid silver snuff-box each, as small tokens of respect and esteem for their va luable services in their different offices. The whole were got up by Mr. Chadwick, Lord-street, and cost altogether twelve guineas. MEDALLION IN CELEBRATION OF THE VISIT OF PRINCE A LBERT.—We have just seen a beautiful Medal lion, struck in honour of this auspicious occasion, by Mr. Isaacs, of Castle-street. On the one side is a fine side head of his Royal Highness, Prince Albert, finely exe cuted, and which strikes us as:being a very good likeness. The reverse contains an excellent view of the Sailors' Home, with the date of the laying of the Foundation Stone. The Medallion is got up in a high style of art, and will no doubt he extensively purchased on the occasion. THE CALAMITOUS FIRE AT ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUND LAND.—We yesterday received a copy of the St. John's Times of the 24th ultimo. This paper states that the late awful calamity has for the present so completely ab sorbed all other considerations that it will be a considera ble time before the industrious citizens will be able again to apply themseldes to their ordinary avocations. It also contains an address from the Legislative Assembly, in reply to the speech of his excellency the Governor, thank ing him for the measures he had taken for the relief, in the meantime, of those who had lost their houses and property. A meeting of members of the Church of Eng land had been held, the Lord Bishop in the chair, and resolutions were passed in furtherance of the rebuilding of the parish church. Intelligence had been received from England of the birth of the last royal offspring of our gracious Queen. News had also been received of the amicable settlement of the Oregon question. This paper contains numerous advertisements relative to the late fire —goods missing though saved from the flames, removals, schools reopened in new localities, &C. The Governor had gone down to the House of Assembly and given his assent to a bill, authorising the raising of a loan of £250,000, in England, or elsewhere, rebuilding of the town. to be applied to the INQIIESTS HELD BEFORE THE BOROUGH CORONER YESTERDAY AND .SATURDAY,—O ❑ the body of John Roach, aged 39.

LIVERPOOL JULY SESSIONS The Court resumed its periodical sittings yesterday, be foie Gilbert Henderson, Esq., the Recorder. The calen dar was numerically heavy, there being the names of 128 prisoners charged with felony, and 18 persons with mte demeanour. Out of the whole number, 60 can read and write imperfectly ; 36 can read imperfectly ; 7 can read and write well, and 43 can neither read nor write. The offences, as will be observed by the;flecorder's chargepre sented, with a few exceptions, no peculiar feature of inte re,t or ag.gravation. The following gentlemen were sworn as THE GRAND JURY. Chades Inman, Insurance Agent, Bedford-street South, Foremou ; Henry Booth, Gentleman, Bedford -street South ; Swinton Boult, Merchant, Water-street; George Bolton, Stock and Sharebroker, 'Exchange -street East ; Michael Bousfield, Cotton-broker, Rumford-street John Caropb I, Cotton-broker, Exchang street N - orth ; James Gibson Clarke, Distiller, Dale-street; Henry Cleaver Chapman, Merchant, Shaw-street . , William Edward Thomas Duncan, Ditto, Exchange-alley ; William Charles Fosberry, Ditto, Titheba r n-st re et ; John Finch. jun., Iron Merchant, Sir Thomas's-buildings ; Henry Glynn, Broker, Exchange-street East; Thomas Arthur Hope, G3ntleman. Everton-terrace; James Lister, Banker, Great Mersey-street ; Thomas Marshall Myers, Broker, Exchange-alley West ; Joseph Parton, Broker, Exchange-buildings; Samuel Stitt, Iron Merchant, Drury-lane; . . Samuel Aspinall Syers, Cotton broker, Chapel-street ; Henry Steele, Timber Merchant, Waterloo-road ; Owen Tudor, SliarebrAer, Dale--trees ; Henry Whitaker, Cotton-broker, Rumford-street The proclamation against vice and immorality having been read, The RECORDER, addressing the Grand Jury, said that the list of offenders on this occasion was a long one. Within the last ten weeks, as it appeared from his calen dar, about 150 individuals had been sent for trial ; of these 128 were charged with felony, and 21 with misde meanour. He waa sorry to say that amongst the offenders for felony there were no fewer than 52 females ; and amongst those charged with stealing pocket-books, purses, money from the pocket, watches, &c., out of 18, 14 were said to be females. There were three cases of children being stripped of their clothes ; and it would be necessary to check this disgraceful offence by making some severe examples. There was one case of a woman who bad uttered a number of base pennies, and after her appre: hension she gave up ten counterfeit pennies made of lead. There was one case of a person who intended to emigrate, and being taken into a public-house, was induced to bet on turning up of cards. Cases of ring -dropping had prevailed half a century ago ; but these tricks at cards appeared to have taken the place of that practice. For this offence two men had been transported last year, and if others were convicted he should consider it his duty to rid the town of such characters. There was a case of a man stealing the lease of a house of which he was owner from his tenant. He considered this of such a nature that it would probably not be laid before them, but be sent for adjudication to another court. There were no cases of embezzlement, or breaking into warehouses by gangs of men ; and he was glad to say that, though the number of prisoners was large, the offences were not of a very aggravated nature. He had the satisfaction to state that considerable good had been effected by the improved prison discipline, and especially by separate imprisonment in the gaol. The new plan adopted had received the approbation of the Pri son Inspector of the district. It might be proper to state that one of the main causes of crime in the town, as else where, was intoxication. This was shown by the nu merous cases brought before the magistrates at the police court, and all the evidence that was produced elsewhere led to the same result. It appeared, indeed, that they had only to know the number of public-houses and beer-houses, is order to form an estimate of the: proportionate amount of offences. In Glasgow and other places the same ap peared from statistical accounts to hold good. and it was every where found that the greater the number of such houses the more was the character of the people, especially of the humbler classes, deteriorated or debased. He was sorry to say that the proportion of public houses in Liver pool was so numerous ; and he should be glad to see that proportion considerably diminished. He expressed his gratification that so respectable an assemblage of gentle men of experience had appeared on the grand jury. It was, therefore, unnecessary for him to offer them any advice as to the nature of the duties they had to perform; and he should therefore dismiss them to consider the several cases that would be laid before them. A petty jury was then sworn in, and the trials soon afterwards proceeded. None of them during the day were of an interesting character. :The following were the results at the closing of the court last night : Elizabeth Watts, for stealinz wearing apparel, &c., in West Derby Workhouse—four calendar months and hard labour. Anti Sullivan, stealing a teapot—eight calendar months and hard labour. James Hutchinson, stealing a chest full of clothes — six calendar months and bard labour. John Gummitt, stealing three bills of exchange, value £Boo—ten years' transportation. Martha Shaw, stealing a watch—eight calendar months and hard labour, ten days solitary. George Hughes, stealing a barrel of pork —one calendar month and bard labour. Ann Williams, stealing a barn —one calendar month an dhard labour, ten days solitary. Elizabeth Lennon, stealing boots —one calendar month and hard labour, ten days solitary. .. Ann Robinson—no bill William Burgess—acquitted. Henry Martin, stealing a dozen of mats—seven years' transportation. INl'Key, stealing articles of plate, &c.—six calendar months and hard labour, and twice whipped. Captain Houston Steward has succeeded Lord John Hay in the superintendence of Woolwich Dockyard. Sir Charles Adam has been appointed to the Admiralty, Sir William Parker having declined the offer of a seat at that board. On Saturday the Lords' Committee decided that the preamble of the Bury branch of the Blackburn, Bolton, and Darwen Railway had not beer► proved. Active measures are heing taken to restore tranquility at the Cape of Good Hope. Two regiments have been ordered thither, and further reinforcements are contem plated. On Sunday morning a fire broke out in the Commercial Coffee-house, Newgate-street, London, which did con.pi derable damage. A young man named Cookson jumped from one of the windows, and was so much injured that he expired soon after. A gentleman named Charlesford, in attempting on Sa turday to get on a train which had just started from Blackwall station, missed his step and fell between two carriages, whereby he was so frightfully crushed that he died in a few minutes. A strong protest, signed by the Venerable Clarkson► Stephen Lushington, Sir E. N. Buxton, S. Gurney, and other tried friends of the anti-slavery cause, against the proposed introduction of slave grown sugars into the British markets, has been presented to Lord Joho Russell. A public meeting will be held in London to-day, is Lambeth, B. B. Cabbell, Esq., in the chair, for the pur pose of co-operating with the " Poor Man's Guardian Society," in aiding the poor in their application for paro chial relief, and securing to them the legal and humane dispensation of the laws.

An experiment was made last wee k by the Et stern Coun ties Railway Board, in connexion with the Norwich and Brandon, to determine the probability of making these two lines, with Yarmouth as a port, the shortest route to Rotterdam and the North of Europe. A large number of passengers was assembled; but the attempt proved nothing but the badness of the arrangements made, the steamer engaged making a port fifteen miles from her in tended destination, where the passenger s were d e tained • all night, getting into Rotterdam next morning. A host of other mishaps occurred, rendering the trip anything but a pleasant one ; the passage back to Yarmouth being very stormy and difficult. TELEGRAPH OFFICE, JULY 20.
