We ar e d e li g h te d to o b serve t h at very f ew of the pro tincial jour na l s i nsu l t t h e i r rea d ers by repr i nt i ng t h e a"enus scurrilities of the Irish buffoon. If the Metro. " ta n press would but follow so excellent an example, c ould not i n fli c t a more severe punish men t u p on r . It i s true that a prompt rep l y to hi s audacious ig'seltonds i s neee§.sarv, particularly where private repu- Iti " is concerned, hot this can always be done without d nir 'g more than quoting the sentence or the Hoe where "10 the lie is hazarded -and the charge made. • If, therefore, the Times, the Herald, and•the Post mould but cease to report O'Coptiigu, and exclude his filthy and abusive ti rades from their pages, they would confer an inestimable favour upon the public generally. The mendicant's ora tory is only calculated for the meridian of Donybrook fair—to the boilers, venders, and consumers of tripe, cabbages, and swine's feet; and, indeed, it is chiefly to this class that he addresses himself in England. Wher ever he can find a beehive of the lowest of his country men, as, for instance, in Manchester, Newcastle, Edin burgh, and Glasgow, there DANIEL is at home. The in tellect of these hodnien, cOalheavers, porters, and factory slaves, is on a level with his own, and he extorts from them the cheers of ignorance and brutality, by indulging in vulgar jests, in pothouse declamation, in ribaldry that alone could emanate from a thief's attorney, and by mis representing the words and libelling the character of his superiors. In this garbage the beggar is a wholesale dealer, and upon . this the rabble and his admirers feed. We have watched him in his career from Manchester to Edinburgh, and we rejoice to say that he has not been countenanced by a single English gentleman. There has not been a solitary individual of either charac ter or standing, of wealth or intelligence, who has taken any part in his procgedings. The respectable whigs have cut him, and kept aloof from him, as if he were a pesti lence—axif to touch or speak to him were infamy. The better sort of radicali too, having reason to suspect the Man, and well knowing that he injures every cause lie advocates, have carefully avoided him, and have shut their doors upon him. Even hospitality has conspired against him. He cannot pretend that he has had a single invitation to a private table, or that he has been received into any respectable domestic circle. On thiosontrary, he hides his head in some_ third-rate hotel, or spends his leisure hours in an obscure tavern, where the spirits which there congregate:are congenial with his own. But with all these dead weights against him O'CoN NELL is doing all the mischief in his power—assailing the prerogatives of the crown, menacing the House of Peers, slandering the best men in England, and, as a missionary of popery, spreading his demoralizing tenets amongst the people, and insulting the religious feelings of a whole nation. The agitator is doing this with all the mover be can command, and with all the insolence and mpndacity which so truly mark his character. But is O'CONNELL alone to blame for these acts of se dition and petty treason ? He is not yet the government of England. His mouth is- not yet, as an honester pa triot wished his to be, " the parliament of England." He does not yet monopolize in his vile person the powers Of the Attorney-General of England and the Lord Ad vocate of Scotland. He may be the master of tl:e mas ter of these two honourable and learned functionaries ; but Lord MELBOURNE has denied all connexion with him, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL has not yet confessed that he has delegated to the mendicant papist the power he is presumed to exercise as principal Secretary of State for the Home Department. On Lord MELBOURNE.and Lord JOHN then devolves the responsibility which the mendacious buffoon incurs. The people of-England look to them for protection, and it is their duty to ask the government not only whether they sanction such conduct, but why they tolerate it. The nobles of England and Scotland, when assembled in patliatnent, have an opportunity of expressing their in dignant horror of such seditious proceedingi; but when not so assembled they have a clim upon the King for protection. They have-a right to ask their lawful sove reign, "why are we traduced, and libelled, and held up to popular obloquy, in all parts of the United Kingdom, by one of your majesty's subjects, himself a member of the lower house of parliament, and known to be either a voluntary or mercenary supporter of your majesty's go vernment Y" What the King's answer would be, under the present circumstances, we shall s not venture to conjecture ; but this we will say, that a,t no Period since the accession. of the . House of Brunswick would any of our sovereigns for a single moment have submitted to the insolent threats and maliCiouslibelS''of flux avowed friend and ally of his servants. We have no doubt that earnest and respect ful supplications have already been addressed to the So vesieign. We have no doubt his majesty is alive to the seditious and al ..ost treasonable harangues of O'Coss• NELL, and that the cabinet which was held on Saturday last had reference to his conduct. But we go further than this, and contend that it is' the duty of the King to command his servants to vindicate the laws and suppress agitation, which this vulgar buffoon confesses it is his ob• ject to excite in the large towns of England and Scot land whdre any considerable portion of Irish papists are located. We care little how this royal and salutary com mand is enforced—but it must be enforced ! Lord MEL BOURNE and Lord Joust may advise their ally O'Con -.NELL to stay his pranks and cease his appeals in favour ,of popery and rebellion; and if he obeys so far well. But if their advice be disregarded they are bound to try the power of the law upon him, and compel him to recognise its authority and pay respect to its mandates. If be still persist, the Lord Advocate of Scotland has a very simple duty to perform. The inhabitants of Glasgow and Pais ley are already sufficiently excited. The Presbyterians cherish an intense hatred of popery which is singularly national. They are at the same time a patient, reflect ing, and enduring people. They may not at the first blush penetrate all the crafty designs of this hireling of the jesuits, who, with the beggar's penny in one hand and the widow's mite in the other, sup porting himself and family on the wretched contribittions wrung from starving peasants by the vile taxgatherers of the Romish church, who make their souls a commodity of sale and barter, by mass and mummery, on the threshold of eternity—they may not at first be enabled to grapple with the pretexts that are made and the delusion that is practised; but We should evince a total ignorance of the Scottish people if we were. to conclude that O'CoNNELL'S fabrications and perversions of truth would not speedily, be exposed, and produce a serious reaction. Liberty is a fine word, The wrongs of Ireland is a de lightful cadence; and the hoary beggar, talking of Auld Langsyne and Burns's wild reverie of Scots wha hae Wallace bled, may for a passing moment blind their eyes; but as sure as the sun shines this mist will be dispelled;. the glowing recellections of former days, the passions subdued by time",. the insults forgotten for the sake of charity, the murders, crimes, and persecutions of popery, forgiven, perhaps, but not forgotten—these will arise like a flood tide in a. storm, and wo be to the man who dares to combat its surges t O'CONNELL and his herd ofiesuits —his principles and his faction—his monk priest's and his nunneries—his confessionals and his absolutions—his holy water : And holy spittle—his bits of wood called vir gins, and his bits of putty called saints—his holy thumbs and miraculous toe nails—are held in utter detestation by the people of Scotland, and depend upon it that no man ever brought himself into such disrepute, or did the cause he espoused, be that as we believe it to be the cause of the Whigs, so much injury ---4o Much irretrieva ble injury —as DANIEL his done,.and will do, by making a popish appeal to the, reflecting, argumentative, and bible reading population of the north. We solemnly protest that we are not the enemies of those who honestly assert the rights of the common peo ple. We appeal to - our readers Whether they ever . read in these columns any argument opposed to the enlight enment, the improvement, or the advancement of our countrymen. We have seen, in a shopkeePing news paper, admonitions addressed to the humbler and work ing classes calculated to please their fancy but rob them of their rights. This we are sorry to say has been done too successfully for the last five years. 'The liberty that the Irish beggar contends •fur the liberty to rob the poor.

The Irish beggar, however, tried to him them to, 'rift LIVERPOOL STANDARD. • his OWL') advAdtage under the cover of falsehsod E but like all liar's and jesuits he did so in a way that must and will open the eyes of the people of Scotland. O'CONNELL professes to sympathise with the French on the galling obstructions to which-the press has been ex poseht the citizen king. But will any man with a grain of sense believe that O'CONNELL is siticere ? During thelew' years of Louts PHILIPPE'S reign—only five in all—that a free press existed in France, the Roman Ca tholic clergy kept aloof from and refused to recognise him. When men were allowed to discuss all questions without reserve the priests kept sulkily in the back ground, trem bling for the fate of their beloved superstitions, and la, menting the loss of that plunder, and those taxes upon ignorance and credulity, which they enjoyed before the revolution. But the moment despotism lifted its hands, and Louts PHILIPPE had resolved to coerce the journal ists who had raised him to the throne, the old bigots came forth from their hiding places, nauseating him with their congratulations, and offering masses for the good of his soul. Popery and tyranny are synonymous terms, and well O'CoNtqam. knows it; but it suits his present pur pose to tell a different tale in Scotland. How long will any portion of the people suffer themselves to be duped by such an impostor? The FOURTH OF OCTOBER will now very soon be here. The national importance of this day demands of us that we again remind our readers of the solemn obli gation under which every protestant ought to foci him self, to observe this day as a centenary commemoration of his deliverance from the enslaving thraldom of papal bondage. It has been well remarked that the only way, in which we. can shew our sense of the gracious interpo sitions of GOD in our behalf is by unfeigned gratitude, and a constant remembrance of the Divine favours. But alas! 'how •Pften, notwithstanding the lightness of the imposed yoke, do the conditions of our acceptance of these mercies remain unfulfilled. The generality of mankind seem to act as though ,they were too proud to acknowledge a benefit, even from the GIVER of all good ! Indeed so diffiAllt has it ever ap peared for men to acknowledge and commemorate a fa vour at the hands of OMNIPOTENCE, that GOD foresaw that it would be necessary to command that AARON'S rod, and the pot of manna, should be laid up in the sanc tuary, and that stones should be erected at the passing of Jordan, to prevent successive generations forgetting HIS power and goodness to their forefathers. An instance of this care on the part of OMNISCIENCE for his fallen crea tures is found in the injunction of the SAVIOUR himself that there should be frequent commemorations of bis death and passion, lest even that awful proof of AL MIGHTY goodness should escape the treacherous memo• ries of the sinful race of ADAM. We live in an age by no means over anxious to ad mire and take notice of any remarkable instances of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, either in our preservation from dangers, or in our deliverance out of them. It is no very long time since a member of the legislature was found with sufficient hardihood to deny. the necessity of recog nizing a superior and nver-rulingpolver in theadministra tion of mundane affairs. How thankful then ought we . to be that it has occurred to the minds of those zealous for GOD'S glory, and who sigh over the mention of our national grievances, to recommend a religious celebra tion of the approaching Fourth of October. . The reformation was not the work of one man, nor the occupation of but a single day. There were several circumstances in its progress which are every way worthy of a grateful remembrance ; but we think there could not have been a period of time fixed upon during which a mightier achievement for the cause of truth was completed, than that day and hour which presented pro testant England with the first complete English translation of the Word of Eternal Life. The individual to whom, under GOD, England owes the blessing of the first en tire copy of the Sacred Oracles in the mother tongue is MYLES COVER DALE, subsequently made bishop of Ex eter in the reign of our young JoslAs, King EDWARD VI. This MYLES COVERDALE brought his printing of this Bible to a close on the fourth day of October, 1535. Three hundred years have now passed since that glori ous event, and its ever having taken place is unmarked by a periodical thanksgiving. Let this blot no longer continue as.a stain upon the gratitude of the English people ; let it no'longer remain a slur upon the piety of a professedly christian nation. The appearance which popery now wears is of a very desperate character. The continent of Europe, once the main stronghold of this debasing superstition, has, in more places than one, refused to acknowledge the unli mite'd authority of a papal bull. The edicts of the spiritual despot have been trodden under foot by those very persons who once yielded to them an implicit obedi ence. To these repeated defections from the allegiance once acknowledged to the man of Rome may be traced the unblushing effrontery of these sons of error and of violence in the recent attempts of the priests of Rome to dethrone the lawful monarch of Ireland. No cairn ob server of events can fail to see that these attempts to establish popery in the sister island are. but the struggles of an intolerant church to subjugate that country to the see of Rome, as was the case in the Irish rebellion, when the papists submitted their distracted kingdom to the tender mercies of Pope URBAN the EIGHTH. We must never forget the following testimony of the great Romish Doctor BELLARMINE, who, in his work "De Rom. Pnn tific.," in the sixth section of his fifth book, thus writes: —" Papa potest regna mutare, et uni auferre, et . alteri conferre, tanquam summus princeps spiritualis ;" i. e. " The Pope can overthrow kingdoms—take away from one and give to another—in his character of chief spiri tual prince." Nor is this the arbitrary opinion of BEL LARMINE. SUAREZ and Cardinal PERRON, with many other of their mitred doctors, agree herein ; but, as if this were not sufficient, we have four general councils to attest its accuracy as a doctrine of the Romish church. This doctrine is an interpretation and an attempted jus tification in the third and fourth Lateran Councils, in the council of Lyons, and that of Constance. We are fully aware that we shall be told that this proves nothing against the present race of papists, and fails to establish the identity of any doctrine held by them now. We,'however, contend that this is a faithful repre sentation of one feature of the popish portrait. Had the emissaries of Rome but the power, depend upon it they would not fail to exert the " lawful privileges" which they maintain the head of their church has a right to exer cise. The events of each recurring day prove to us that it is no want ofinclination on the part of the assailants which now for a time averts the deadly blow aimed at our liberties and our religion by the agents of the pa pacy. When did an opportunity occur which found them unprepared to strike ? The arm of oppression is ever and anon upraiSed, and nothing but the absence of power has ever prevented its falling with an unrelenting severity. We are not prepared to say whether or • no, in these dominions, papists have of late years increased in num bers. Of this one thing, however, we are assured, viz., that the papacy has gained additional countenance among us, and the holy indignation which was excited in the minds of our forefathers at the recollection of a spiritual tyranny has given place to a vile apathy while our best and noblest interests are at stake. Shame, deep shame to tbe descendants of LUTIIER and CALVIN, if they allow the monuments reared by ancestral piety to be levelled again with the dust. Awful, indeed, is our responsibility if we allow the bright gem of truth to be torn from the princely diadem, and a mass of tawdry and flimsy error to be substituted in its place. The base union which has recently been entered into between papists and infidels— the .unnatural connexion of spiritual despotism with de mocratic contempt of discipline—the unhallowed league of that nondescript band of lukewarm religionists and avowed infidels yoked with the .fiery zelotism of papists, cannot be an enduring system. They may, however, remain united long enough to work much mischief, and it behoves every friend of truth to buckle on his armour, and to be prepared to give deadly battle to the emissaries' of soul-destroying error. To the clergy of the land we feel that it would.savour of presumption did we remind Ahem of their solemn duty ‘un an occasion like the. present. We hie full confi :tlence in thoir piety, and place ,a ,firm yeliance.un their unflinching zeal. We glory in the jtvou anticipation of the forthcoming festival. Th'will, indeed, be a me morable day on which the walls of every church in the united kingdom shall echo with the determined protest of honest men against the debasing errors of the popish creed: such a blowing of the trumpet of alarm cannot be without its good effect. Those who now slumber at their posts will awake to a sense of the dangers which threaten the very citadel of their faith and hopes. Popery already quails ere yet the threatened blow has been dealt. Protestant England is aroused. The faithful attendants on the sanctuary of her church are al ready girt and ready for 'the encounter—aye, were the papacy ten-fold as strong in the affections of the people as it is, its delusions must give place to the powerful ex ertions of the champions of the reformed faith. Once more we conjure our protestant brethren that they make this day a day of national rejoicing—a jubilee worthy of the object it commemorates. if we fail to do this, the very Heathens of old will rise up in judgment against us. They failed not to adorn their temples with the spoils taken in their victorious battles, and their sailors recorded the favour of their fabled Neptune in suffering them to escape from shipwreck by hanging up their vestes votivas. Let it not then be said of us:that, while we note down injuries and insults with a precision corresponding to that described by the poet— Menet alt inente repostum Judiciuin Paridis— that while we thus record what we ought to banish from our memories, we are remiss in the sense we entertain of benefits received ; let not our gratitude be like the sudden flame of joy, which, though bright for a time, soon, changing its complexion, grows pale, ends in ashes, and is blown away. Let not such supineness be chargeable on us. On the contrary, let us remember that in.: celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the day on which the first entire copy of the English Bible was completed, we are celebrating the possession of a grand instrument in the effecting cur deliverance from a degrading superstition. Let us recollect farther that our cause is the CAUSE OP TRUM EXTRAORDINARY Esc A PE.—As a gig, containing two persons, drawn by a spirited horse, was proceeding down Bold-street yesterday, between ten and eleven o'clock, a child about five or six years old, in crossing the street, was knocked down by coin ing in contact with the horse, and the gig also passed over the little creature ; it was, however, taken up unhurt, with the ex ception of a slight bruize on. the urn. QUICK VOYAGE.--The ship City of Waterford, 375 tons, a regular trailer to Quebec, sailed from Liverpool on the 17th of July last, discharged, loaded a full cargo, and sailed from Quebec 27th of August, and arrived at Waterford in 20 days, having completed the voyage out and home in the short space of 59 days. She has completed two voyages this year in the period of four months and six days. Passengers by the Laura, Captain Tobin, from Demerara, Mr. Joseph Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts. Mrs. Bowes, Mrs. Heyland, Mr. Rolison, Miss and Masters Turton. TRAVELLING FROM HULL TO LIVERPOOL.—It is in contem plation to start a coach from Hull to Liverpool in one day, via Selby. Thence the passeugers will be taken ou the railroad to Leeds, from Leeds to Manchester by coach, to meet the last train of carriages to Liverpool the same evening. This will, no doubt, prove one of the greatest accommodations to travellers which has ever been presented to this large commercial town.— Hull Rockingham. CAUTION TO THE VENDERS OF BAD FISH.— On Thursday last Wheeler, a market looker, appeared before the mayor, and laid the following informations:—Against Eliza Peunett, for" having, on the preceding Saturd a y, exposed for sale, in St. John's Market, fifty-two pounds of plaice, flukes, &c., the same being unfit fur food. Against John Grecian, the keeper of a wholesale vault, at St. John's Market, for having in his posseiision seventy pounds of bad fish of various descriptions, which he was selling to hawkers. Wheeler further stated, that be had, en former occasions, seized herrings and turbot from this vault, which were in a state of decomposition. Against Mary Jones, for having exposed for sale, in St. John's Mar ket, on the preceding Saturday, eighty pounds of bad fish. Mrs. Jones said, that she had bought the fish in question from Mr. Grecian, not knowing it to be bad. Against Mary Haines, for having exposed for sale sixty-five pounds of unsound fish. Mrs. Haines also pleaded that she had bought the fish from Mr. Grecian. Against David Organ, for having exposed for sale ninety-eight pounds of conger-eel, which numbers of per sons were purchasing from him when it was seized, though Wheeler described it as completely rotten. His worship the mayor stated. that, as this was the first offence of all the parties save one, scrshould 'it also be the lest instance of his leuiency. With ,respect to Grecian, his worship ordered that lie should give up the vault which he occupied. The others were dismis sed without fine, but were ordered to pay the costs. BIRTH EXTRAORDINAKY'—On Sunday last, at Bootle, the wife of a labourer, named Southward, was delivered of three fine girls, all doing well. Mr. Shaw, iu a letter to a contem porary, says:—"'They are fine, beautiful infants, and are er+td Vii - most• coinfortylsly together in a large clothes-basket. They have..been baptized by the Rev. Mr. Gladstone; by the names of Mary, Ellen, and Margaret. In proof of what ex ertinus and privations the peasantry can endure, this poor woman was working hard at the washing tub until a late hour on Saturday evening. The mother and her little progeuy seem very comfortable at present—thanks to the care and attention of a worthy gentleman and his lady, of. Walton, who hive sent them a nurse and some baby-linen, besides allowiitg, them whatever their bountiful establishment produced." We do not know whether the gentleman to whom Mr. Shaw alludes is the same who not only sent a half barrel of ale to the poor woman, but promised to give her £lOO if she could bring them up so as to walk. REFItAcToRY WoRKMAN.—On Thursday last, Joseph Leigh was brought before the Mayor and Sir T. firabcker, charged by his employer, Mr. Arch. Mimsfield, earthenware manufacturer, Canning-street with repeated acts of neglect of duty. It appear ed that the prisoner filled the situation of "glossed fireman ;" that on Tuesday last he left au oven in the process of firing to the'care of a boy for several hours, while he was seated in a pub lic house. This was just discovered in time by Mr. Mansfield's son, or the whole, of considerable value, wouldhave been dama ged by an excess of fire. When he again came to the works he was intoxicated and behaved with the utmost rudeness and vio lence. On several former occasions he had similary misconduct ed himself, for which he had been discharged, but the prisoner would not be discharged, replying he must see about that, as lie was hired, and would not leave. The magistrates expressed themselves in the strongest terms of indignation at such con duct, and committed the prisoner to the house of correction for two mouths and to be kept to hard labour. CAUTION TO PUBLICANS.—The keeper of a tavern, in Be- Vington-bush, was, on Friday last, summoned before the mayor, on information of John M'Comb, head constable of the district. The latter stated, that he was passing the house, on Tuesday last, when be saw an immense crowd in the yard as sembled to v,itness a pugilistic encounter. He requested the landlord to part the combatants, but he refused, and set him (the officer) at defiance, telling him he might do it himself if he pleased, .but, for his part, he did not conceive that he was answerable, and the officer might do his worst. His worship the mayor reprehended this conduct of the defendant, and stated, that he was determined to visit such disorderly proceed ings with the utmost severity. The defendant was then fined in the full penalty of £5 and costs, which was immediately paid. SINGULAR THRFT.—A gentleman named Yates, stood for ward in the Police Court, on Saturday last, and charged a young man, who appeared at the bar, with having stolen from an "infirm gentleman," named Gardiner, in whose service the prisoner had been, a very valuable and curious watch,—a new invention of Mr. Gardiner's,—for which that gentleman was about to obtain a patent. Mr. Gardiner, it seems, had just ar rived at the successful termination of his labours on the ma chine, when it disappeared. T he prisoner confessed that he had taken the watch, bnt he had it not in hisi possession, nor would he divulge the name of the person with whom he had de posited it. The prisoner was remanded. A WhALTHY BEGGAR.—On Thursday last John M'Laughlin, a cripple, who moves about in a bowl, in the costume of a cook, was played before the Mayor on the chargeof having been found soliciting alms in an attitude most persuasive. The mendicant profession, it appears, is the only one which the prisoner has pursued for sonic time past, and it would seem that he has had a most flourishing practice. The constable Stated that, when ta ken to Britleurel!, there was fonend in his po:•ket the sum of £4 b 5.241. his worship ordered hint to be handed over to Mr. For ward. YORK ML7SICAL FESTIVAL.--The receipts .nt this festival amounted to £16,769. l Is. 6d. In addition to this amount, the following donations have been received :—The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, .ClOO ; Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, £150; the Hon: W. Duuconibe, M.P., £5O; Lord Radstock, 10s.; the Earl of Tyrcounel. £10; Geurge Folliott, Esq., Chester, £5; John Paynter, Esq., (by Dr. Wake,) £5. ss. DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF HENRY BAILEY, LATE CON. STABLE OF CHEETHAIAL—Tbe remains of this man, who lost his life in an attempt to save that of a little girl who had acciden tally fallen into the Irwell, were found ou Saturday, the 12th instant, about a mile from Barton Bridge, and above six miles from the place where the occident occurred. The body, from having been six months in the river, was in such a state of de composition that every feature was completely destroyed. lt was, however, identified by a shoemaker, who •ecognised his own work on one of the shoes which Mr. Bailey wore at the time he was drowned. FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRAT.TY.—The Earl of Mint, has been appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, in the room of Lord Auckland, who is about to proceed to India as Governor ',General. SEAMEN'S WaGEs.—A case of some importance to seamen, was decided on Saturday, at the Thames police-office, London, by Mr. Broderip the sitting magistrate. Captain Jackson was summoned for the sum of five pounds, which John Shreeves, young man, claimed as a balance due to him for his services on board the eefendaut's vessel, The Four Brothers. The captain considered he had no right to pay the amount, as he expended that sum for medical attendance and board and lodging for the lad at Milford Haven, where he met with an accident.—Mr. Broderip said that the defendant could not deduct the turn—the master being bound to provide the complainant with proper nourishment and medical aid, if he fell sick or 'net with an acci dent while employed in his regular duties. The defendant must pay the £5 with all costa. MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY Op SIR JOHN Ma.Lcor.sr.—The Carlisle Patriot of Saturday lust contains an interesting account of the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a monument, to perpetuate the memory of that distinguished general, sche/ar and statesman, Major-general Sir John Malcolm, K.G.C.B. The site chosen for the monument is the most lofty hilt in the v,iciuity of Langholtn. There was a grand masonic procession formed at Langholm, at which Sir James Graham. as.provin cial grand master, attended; and, after an appropriate prayer had been offered by the Ilev. W. B. Shaw of Laugholm, per formed the ceremony of laying the stone. On the return of the procession a t large party of gentlemen dined together under a spacious tent in the yard of the Salutation Inn. Col. Charles Psitle) presided •ao chairman, supported by Admiral Sir Pulte us, M xlcoltn, and General Sir James Malcolm of the .11oy Verities, the lirothors of the . lato Sir John Malcolm. LONDON LATEST NOWS. City, Saturday Evening, Hnlfipast Seven o'clock. We have had arrivals to-day from Bombay to the 10th May, Madras to the 26th April, from the Cape to the Gth July, and from New York and St. Vincents. The commercial letters from Bombay state, that from the interior there was a good quantity of cotton come to market, and it was expected that the quotations would be lower in consequence. Freights for Eng bind had advanced to £3 10s. to £4 per ton. British manufac tnres were in good demand. Bombay and Surat had suffered severely by the prevalence of small pox. By the last arrivals from Delhi, information was conveyed of ! the assassination of Mr. William Fraser, the Governor-General and Commissioner there; and that the public - authorities had of fered a reward fur the discovery of the assassin. Gteat exer i tions had been made by the magistrates for this purpose, and 1 expectations were entertained that a native who had been ap prehended was the guilty person. A decision had been given against him by the late cotninissiouer in a suit in whiCh several Lacs of rupees were depending. The individual was one of Fyz Mohamed Khan's people, and had held possession of some pro perty illegally, from which he was ejected by the decision of the I late Mr. Fraser. In consequence of the statement made by the Governor of the Bank on Thursday, Bank Stock has suffered a rapid decline from 2151 to 208; a reaction took place on Friday, and some business was done at 209, 2094, and this day at 2104. The money market continues steady. Consols closed at 9N, money, and 91 for the account ; New 34 per Ccut. are at 99 ; Omnium has advanced to premium; Exclequer Bills closed at 22 premium ; India: Bonds, is. premium. In the Foreign Stock Market a more than ordinary activity has been displayed at the close of the week. Spanish Bonds finally closed at 424 money, 42i for account, and Set ip has ad vanced to 173, discount. Portuguese New Bonds left off at the improved price of 884 for the account, and the Three per Cents. at 571. The transactions in the South American Bonds have been confined to Brazilian at 87, Columbian at 321-, and the Mexican at 361, all of which are improved quotations; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 54,1, and the Five per Cents. at 102 i for money. LIVERPOOL-OPOLICE. FRIDAY.— (Before the MAYoR.) Scststorts FOR WAGEs.—Captain Harrison appeared to an swer a summons procured ite.ainst hint by his chief mate, Joseph Rubinson. The latter stated, that he had shipped in Liverpool with the defendant to go to Loudon, and thence to Archangel. He now claimed a balance amouuti»g to £3, which the captain refused to pay, on the ground that he had, on their arrival at the last-named place, two pairs of fustian trowsers in his possession, which having been omitted iu the report by the captain, the vessel was fined. The captain stated, that he had frequently directed the complainant to cut out the trousers, which he had ueglected to do. Had his wishes in this respect been complied with, no trouble would have ensued. The officers at Archangel having searched the vessel, discovered the fustian and some new handkerchiefs, both of which were prohibited articles. In con sequence, they not only seized the stuff, but levied a fine of sixty rubles on the vessel ; and he conceived that he was per fectly in * rule. in exacting from his chief mate a sum which was incurred as expeusa ou the ship through his negligence. The mate retorted upon the captain, that he had told him to put the articles iu question into the ship's report, which he (the captain) had neglected to do, and, thereby, the veffiel hadhecome subject to the tine of sixty rubles. Neither party had ;a trin*le witness in court to give a preponderating influence to his individual statement, and the Magistrates dismissed the case. JuvENILE DEPRAVITY.—Two lads, bearing the names of Rvcroft and Jilks, the former about 14, the latter about S years of age, were, on Friday, brought before the Magistrates, on charge of having stolen a cloak out of the house of Mrs. James, in Finch-street. The charge was supported by the evidence of two boys who had seen the prisoners cuter the house and come out wiih the article. They were committed fur trial at the Borough Sessions. SATURDAY.—(Before the MaYou and Alderman Sir THOMAS BRANCICER.) AN IMPUDENT PICKPOCKET.—CALITION To WINDOW-pERP ERS.—A well-dressed man, of forbidding aspect, was placed at the bar of the Police Court, having been taken into custody, on the preceding day, by Ball the watchman, under the following circumstances. An elderly gentleman, named Edmund Holmes, stated that he was earnestly engaged gazing at the prints, cari catures, &c. which decorate the window of a shop at the bottom of Lord-street, when the prisoner came behind him, and, putting round his hand deliberately, pulled the watch from his (corn p'ainant's) fob. He instantly turned round, and, taking hold of the prisoner, said—" Ilona! you have stolen my watch !" The prisoner responded, " You are a l—r," and took to his heels up Whitechapel,—the complainant following as quickly as he was able, calling " Stop thief!" A young gentleman, named Thomas Evans, deposed, that he was at a house in Rich mond-street, when he heard the cry of "Stop thief." He ran out to see what was the matter, and, seeing the prisoner running, he pnrsued and stopped him, after which watchman Ball came up and took the prisoner into his charge. Ball stated that he resided in Richmond -street, and ran out on the preceding day its consequence of having beard a cry_ of " Stop thief!" He - ran in the direction of the sound, and took charge of the pri soner from Mr. Evans, in Marble street. lie searched him im mediately after, and found the watch, which was identified by the complainant, on his person. All the parties testified to the identity of the prisoner. The Mayor.—" This is a most clear case. What have you to say, Holmes, touching this charge?" Prisoner.—" I saw the watch lying on the flags in Marble street. and picked it up." (Laughter.) The prisoner was coin mitted for trial. YEsTEßDAy.—Before Alderman Sir Tnos. BeANCKER. CAUiION SLII.VANTS.—A young woman named Anne .Tones, of decent appearance, was charged with stealing an um brella, the property of Mr. James Ward, draper, in Houghton street, Williamson-square. It appeared from the evidence that on Saturday last the complainant's servant negligently left the street door open, and the prisoner seeing a good opportunity for thieving, went in and took the umbrella in question from a hat railing. Robberies of this description arising from the carelessness of servants are of very frequent occurrence, and housekeepers cannot be too much on their guard. The prisoner was committed. ALLEGE» F tun n.—John Halpin, a man dressed as a butcher, was placed at the bar, charged with obtaining money under false pretences. The prisoner, it appears, was employed by Mr. Close, a butcher in this town, to purchase cattle, and had had several business transactions with a Mr. Brown, of Formby, on account of his master. A few days ago the prisoner went to Formby, and borrowed Ell) in the name of his waster, alleging that lie wanted to purchase some calves. It was subsequently discovered that he had no authority from Mr. Close to borrow the money, and instead of purchasing calves he had bought a horse. ne was remanded for further examination. . . Four desperate well-known thieves, who were detected by the watchman lurking in an entry in Lord -street, at two o'clock in the morning, were committed for three mouths to the House of Correction as rogues and vagabonds. HEATON PARK. RACES. This sporting meeting, which commences on Wednesday, is expected to be every way more attractive this year than ou any past occasion. Some judicious alterations in the arrangements and tegillations have been made, the effect of one of which, that of introducing jockies instead of gentlemen riders in seve ral of the risers,—will be to encourage ' the entry of superior horses. Several visitors of distinction are expected to honour the races with their presence. It is anticipated that the Duc de Nemours, (second son of Louis Philippe,) who, we perceive, has been inspecting the various manufactures of Birmingham, will be a guest at Heaton Park for a few days. Count Matus cevitz, the Russian envoy, who was the steward of last year, and whose departure from this country has been delayed for a short time, is also expected to be present. Sir Richard Bulkeley Williams Bulkeley is the steward for the present year. There are to be two cups and two pieces of plate, besides the stakes, sweepstakes, and purses which constitute the money prizes in the racing lottery. The Steward's Plate, (to be run for on Friday.) the largest of the honorary prizes, though nominally a £lOO plate, has actually cost £l6:i, and is liberally presented by Sir Richard Bulkeley. It is a large massive and richly gilt silver salver, 26 inches in diameter and weighing 192 ounces. It is an old piece of plate, as by the assay marks or stamps, it must have been manufactured at least seventy-two Years, and.proba bly it is fifty-two years older. The hollow of the salver is filled with an antique design, richly executed in dead and burnished gold relief, representing some feast or sacrifice in honour of Bacchus. The scene is a wood, beneath whose shade groups of nymphs and winged boys are collected round a large vintage basket, laden with the iruit of the vine. From this several of the boys are snatching clusters of grapes, while one nymph• is pouring from an antique vase into a lamp-shaped cup, a libation of oil or wine.. In the back ground are a Corinthian column and a monumental pedestal supporting a bust, and near these the artist has oddly enough introduced one of the old-fashioned English wind corn-mills, a watering trough, an 'old broken mill-stone, and some hewn timber. In the foreground are two dogs pen: tiog at game. Behind one or the nymphs is a little girl, her hair wreathed with laurel, and wearing the open stomacher so much in fashion a hundred years ago. The only adult male figure is seated on a bank with . his back to the spec tator. As his brows are garlanded with laurel, and as' he is at some distance from the groups, taking- no part in their employ ment, the figure may probably have been intended to represent " the jolly god of wine" himself. The edge of the salver cun tains alsoi in relief, six groups of various fruits, alternate with six clusters of grapes, in dead 'and burnished gold, and the whole bus a very splendid appearance. Count Matuscavitz again presents the plate he gave last year, es the Steward's Plate, but which was not run for, in conse quence of the entry not being duly tilled. It is also a very handsome silver gilt salver, 22 inches in diameter, Weighing 200 ounces, and though of the nominal value of £lOO, cost 1:150. Its centre represents in rich dead and burnished gold relieve the Rape of the Sabilies, surrounded by a wreath of the sun flower, the tulip,an'l the ruse, with their leaves.. Its edge con tains a vaiiety of scenes in telief in the style of the Elgrn mar bles, representing the gods in high symposium, on Mount Olympus, quaffing nectar. A gadronn lan-decor burnished and frosted gold encircles the salver. 'rills will form one of the first day's prizes. Mr. king, of the Bush Inn, gives a silver gilt cup, resembling the ancient Tuscan vases, placed upon a square pedestal of scagliola marble, with Corinthian vase, &c. of dead gold. It also exceeds its race-list value, being worth £135. The diame ter of the vase at the tap is about thirteen inches and a half; its height, with the pedestal, is nineteen inches, and it will hold about six quarts. In front of the pedestal, in solid gold letters of the old English characters, is inscribed " Heaton Park Meet ing. 1835;" and at the base, in engraving "Given by John. King." This cup will be contested on Thursday. The Manchester gold cup, value £2OO (the race for which is to be on Friday,) has not yet arrived ; but we undestand that it is also a very splendid piece of plate. Altogether it may he said that neither pains nor expense has been spared to render the Heaton Park races of 1835 a really " crack meeting." PROGRESS OF METHODISM IN FRANCE.—A meeting of the Wesleyan Branch Missionary Society was held at their chapel, rue d'Aujou. Among the gentlemen present were the following ministers :—Messrs. Newstead, De Jersey, and Cook, missiona ries for France; Mr. Traveller, formerly missionary at Madras; and Mr. Liefchild, minister of Craven Chanel, London. Mr. Traveller gave as interesting account of the success of missions in India, where numerous schools have been established and native teachers have been formed. It appears from the report that - the infant labours of this society in France are prospering. It has seven stations in different-parts of France, and seven schools. Last year .the members of its churches were 2GS, in cluding 52 in the Lille circuit, since scattered by the removal of the minister. The members aro now 464, of whom 70 only are En;.;! 511. Two Years ago they were 11 1.-Paris Advertiser. REVISING BARRISTERS' COURT, —Father The courts were reopened to-day pursuant to adjournment from Wednesday. We have selected a few cases from th 4 number that were disputed during the day. Mr. Blanchard, Mr. Greenwood, Mr. Abrahall and Mr. Heyw o od, Were tint gentlemen who presided in th e various cunt ts. CORN RXCHANGIi. Mr. Edward Seger claimed to be registered as part other of . the Liverpool Corn Exchange. Mr. Peacock objected to the claim on the ground that the shares in the building were per sonal estate. He stated that the legal estate in the building was vested in l 6 trustees fur the proprietors. who were 77 in number; and a subsequent deed, to which all the proprietor' were parties, embodied all the rules of the company; by the 3d rule it was expressly declared that the shares should be consiA dered as personalty, and transferred as such. The 7th rule peel scribed the mode of choosing the committee, who it declared should have power to let the stalls, receive the rents, and, after defraying the current expenses, invest the surplus in one of the banks; it was therefore quite cleat from this clause that the trustees were excluded from voting, as they were,not in receipt of the rents of the buildin g , an d it was equally clear that the committee, as such, were not entitled to he registered, as they had neither the legal nor equitable interest in the property. It would he understood, be contended, that when any of the trus tees happened to be chosen committeemen, they would be enti tled to be registered, as being trustees in receipt of the rent within the gleaning of the 23 sec. of the reform act, but surely the accidental circumstance of a trustee being one of the corn- , mittee could confer no such right, for it was in his character as committeeman, and not as trustee, that he received the rents, for in the latter character he was by the rules of the company excluded from any power in the management of the concern. Mr. Greenwood said there was no pretence for the proprietors claiming to be registered, as their shares were expressly de , clared to be personal estate, and as the committee, by the laws of the company, have the entire management and control of the property, the trustees were clearly excluded from voting, not tiling in receipt of the rents. Claim disallowed. The names of Joshua Walmsley, James Marsden, and Wm. Haling, all radicals, who had qualified for the same property, were struck off the register. David Davies, Prices-street, claimed as exustee of the Welsh Baptist Chapel, Great Crossball-street, was one out of 19 truss tees appointed to conduct the affairs of the chapel. He, as trustee, received the rents, made good all necessary repairs, and paid the clergyman. Mr. Carson contended that there was no proof adduced, delegating to the claimant the power which he had exercised. Mr. Heywood, the revising barrister, said it was evident the trustees were in possession, and as no one disputed their right s the court had not the power. Moreover, it appeared that they received and appropriated the funds of the chapel, the minister having no voice in the direction of its affairs, he being paid his stipend bs• the trustees. It was evident that some persons must conduct their business, and be considered that the claim had been fully made out. The Wow. William Dallison was opposed by Mr. Curry. He claimed to vote on the rent of pews in a freehold chapel in Ren shaw-street. A number of cases were cited in support of and against the which was at last settled by Mr. Greenwood, who came from an adjoining court, after conferring with Mr. Heywood, and hearing evidence on both sides, gave judgment to this effect—that if an act of parliament was produced, which would go to establish the property as freehold, the vote would be allowed. There was no evidence in the present case to provd 4 freehold qualification, it was more of the nature of an ease. went, and would not confer a vote. Claim dismissed, Charles Emtnes, of the York Tavern, Brownlow-bill, was ob jected to by Mr. Carson, he having registered as Chas. Amines. It appeared his claim had been sent in by his orders, but the person writing it had committed an error in spelling the name. A person appeared to speak to the identity of the property for which &Times sought to vote, and Mr. Curry applied to have the qualification amended; but to this the court would . not agree, considering the blunder fatal to the clislin. Struck off. Mr. Peter Hope claimed for freehold land in Paril-street, which he stated to be worth £7OO or £BOO. Mr. Carson ob jected' to theAualification, inasmuch as the land was vacant, and questioned whether it would yield a-qualification in -the state it was then in, as no person wo ild take possession with out at least a wall being erected. Mr. Hope contended that if he were desirous of letting the ground he could do's° for five times that amount, but that it was his object to sell the ground, The court considered he had made out his claim, and allowed the vote. 'the court adjourned in the evening until the lett October. NAMES STRUCK OFF THE LIST OF COUNTY VOTERS AT LIVERPOOL- Conservatives. Radicals Liverpool A to C 18 23 Do. D to H 3O 41 Do.

Litherland Great Crosby West Derby l6 29 Majority l3l The Albion, in one of its beautiful dreams about "the relative strength of the two political parties," says that the claims on the part of the reformers were as two to one on the part of the tories. This statement is, we believe, true as to the number of claims sent in, viz., 900; now, of these we know that 300 were sent in by the conservatives directly through their agent, that 20U were advanced by the radicals through their agent, and that the remaining 400 were signed by parties of all shades of politics in the offices of the various overseers. All these 400 voters tlssi- Albion modestly claims as reformers. We cannot, however, permit this arrogant and barefaced assumption to produce the effect intended. NVe claim, and we do so on undoubted authority, as good conservatives one moiety of these 400 votes—good radicals as the Albion would make them—and we believe we should be quite safe in designating not only these, but one hundred more, as stanch conservatives; gentlemen, in a respectable rank of life, who made their own claims, independent of any party, without being canvassed or asked to do so by any body. After all the puffing and advertising, placarding and spout ing by the members of the reform association for the last four months—notwithstanding the •• splendid talents" of " Mr. Atherton"—the magnificent fee given to that learned person, and the "valuable services rendered to the cause of reform" by the gentleman whose "place of abode" is at "Knotty Ash," the radicals entertain but little hope of ejecting either of the members for the southern division of the county of Laucaster. DRY ROI' IN TIMBER. ( From the Liverpool liteekZy Magazine.) Very few persons have any tolerable conception of the luad tity of timber required fur the constru c ti o n of th e larger c l asses of vessels, and, consequently, of the loss' that arises from the spread of dry hot, which, when once commenced, can rarely ever be eradicated. A first-rate man of war demands nearly 6000 loads; a quantity sufficient to cover a road fifty feet wide (rather more than the width of Bold-street) with timber, ono foot iu depth, for more than a mile and a furlong in length. Hence it is tint surprising that, according to the opinion of the best judges, the annual destruction of timber in the royal navy alone shou ld be not under 50,000 loads, amounting, at £8 per load, the price usually paid for the best selected timber, to £40,000 per annum, independent of workmanship ; and, if to this be added the destruction of the government wurkstiops and other erections on shore, it is no extravagant arithmetic t o sa y, that in the public expen diture of this nation, certainly not less than a million and a half have been annually sacrificed, froth' the delayed adoption of Kyan's preventive. Of particular instances of this destruction, it may be sufficient to state, that the Queen Charlotte, of 120 guns, within one year after she had been launched, was found to be rotten from the water line upwards, a nd, in many pl a c es , b e l ow i t; an d , h av i ng been built of various sorts of timber, proved to be covered with as many different species of boletus. The Spencer cost, for re pairs of /lull, masts, and yards, nearly £IZ,(XX). The Tremen dous, more than I:135m0, and the Victory, Nelson's ship, in the very first year, 1800, was repaired at Chatham, and her re. pairs did not terminate till 180.3, when the sum expended, on the above account, exceeded £96.000. She was under repairs again in 1814, 1815, and 1816, when she cost, for the same, more than £47,000, making the total of the expense for the replacement of her timbers only, within fifteen years, above .£113,000; the origi nal cost of a ship of this class being estimated, in time of was, at less than £95,000.* The destruction of private vessels from this disease is not a proper subject of public remark, or else many instances might be given of ships of this port that are full well known to have cost very little less, in proportion, to pot them in a sailing state. The right of doing what one will with one's own might suf ficiently justify the building of a merchant vessel with any sort of timber, were it not but too certain that many an apparently fine ship and hardy crew have beets lost from the attacks of the silent enemy from within, which have consigned them todestruc tion; When all :vas calm without;—and how pernicious the foul miasma of decaying timber must be to the health of the sailorS, any one can judge, from the noxious effluvia, arising from the same cause, in must of our cellars and underground apartments. The destruction by dry rot in public and private buildings does not require us to have recourse for proof to the wholesale havoc it has committed on the palaces, churches, institutions, and whole streets of the metropolis; the "good old town" has conic in for its full share, of which we have many public in stances, besides the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and the Lunatic Asylum.t Judging, then, from these statements of the whole of the ope ration of this pest in the united kinedom, the subject cannot be deemed otherwise than of "fully sufficient importance," to use • the words of Professor Parrady, in a lecture he delivered on thu efficacy of Kyan's preventive, " to justify inquiry into anv cess which professes to effect these changes, and to confer so much consequent benefit on mankind.
