LIVERPOOL TRIUMPHANT.

WHEN Mr. LOWE, in the self-sufficiency arising
from his unexpected elevation, introduced the Bill
which, under the pretence of relieving the shipping
interest, was specially designed as a heavy blow and
great discouragement to Liverpool, we did not believe
that such a malevolent scheme would be permitted by
our hereditary legislators, though we deemed it pos-
sible that even the present House of Commons might
refuse to sanction so iniquitous a job at the bidding of
a Minister. It was seen, however, that the bait had
taken with the wiseacres of the northern ports, who
were deluded with the sop about passing tolls, whilst
the Manchester party were frantic with delight at the
promised gratification of their ancient revenge, and
were summoning all their powers to add to that par-
liamentary strength which they once deemed all-potent
with a truculent administration. There was, there-
fore, only the consciousness of justice to place in the
scale against a host of implacable opponents, so that
the most sanguine of those interested in the prosperity
of Liverpool placed their hopes upon that House of
Lords which the Premier vainly attempted to swamp
by the creation of peerages for life. Little, therefore,
was it imagined that the House of Commons would
present such a scene as it did when the Vice-President
of the Board of Trade moved the second reading of the
Bill. The opposition was opened by Sir FREDERICK
THESIGER in an able speech, and was immediately
followed by a late Whig Minister, Sir FRANCIS BARING,
who, in the course he took showed ample reasons for
his not belonging to the PALMERSTON faction. Our
own representative, Mr. HORSFALL, most ably justified
the choice of his constituents, and with overwhelming
facts demolished the flimsy pretexts and absurd false-
hoods of Mr. LOWE, whose assurance was only matched
by that consummate ignorance with which it is ordi-
narily accompanied. We shall not follow the course
of the debate, than which nothing could be more
damaging to the Ministry. They by their mouthpiece
confessed themselves guilty of the monstrous crime of
direct robbery under the plea drawn with the chi-
canery of an Old Bailey lawyer about some nice dis-
tinction about property, as such, and property that was
no property. There was no mistaking the feeling of
the House, the accused had virtually pleaded guilty,
and sentence was about to be pronounced, when a
Government dupe moved the adjournment of the de-
bate. Here was a loophole for escape, of which Lord
PALMERSTON eagerly availed himself to save his party
from annihilation, in spite of the conviction that no
adjournment could be necessary. He at once asked
for a reprieve till Friday, but his request was not con-
ceded, and only till the next day was allowed, when
he made a virtue of necessity, and fearing to precipi-
tate the ignominious fate which is close at hand, he
announced that the bill was withdrawn, in order that
the subject might be referred to a select committee.

We need not be curious as to the result of this
movement, ingeniously devised to save the ignominy of
defeat. It had no other object, not even the ostensible
one of perfecting some system of legislation on a sub-
ject which was said to be of so much importance to
the unprotected shipowners of Great Britain. The
expedient answered its purpose of evading a damaging
defeat by a division ; and we should have heard
nothing more about passing tolls or the local dues
upon shipping—called so by the rule of contrary, be-
cause they are not paid by shipping ; but Manchester
could ill brook its discomfiture; and, therefore, on
Thursday, Lord PAL3IERSTON was asked when the
Select Committee would be appointed. He replied,
that he would give notice early this week; but it
matters little, for such a reference is often a perpetual
shelving of an inconvenient subject ; and long before
such a committee can present a report, or any legis-
lation take place upon it, the present ministry may
have retired into the obscurity from which they
should never have been permitted to emerge, and the
Parliament itself be dissolved. We entertain no ap-
prehensions about the preservation of the Town-dues
of Liverpool, for the voice of the country has been
unmistakeably expressed, even without the formality
of a division ; and the author of the contemplated
robbery will be effectually punished by his own party,
whose annihilation he so nearly succeeded in precipi-
tating.
We are hardly called upon to congratulate our
fellow-townsmen upon the signal defeat of their op-
ponents and the maintenance of their corporate rights
to property enjoyed by so legitimate a title, and ex-
pended with so much judicious regard to the public
welfare. We would rather congratulate the country
at large on the triumph of truth and justice in a
British House of Commons ; and it is gratifying also
to be able to remind our Radical friends, that the
victory is owing mainly, if not solely, to the Conserva-
tive party, who mustered in their full strength, and
proved their title to public gratitude, as well as re-
spect, by the front which they opposed to an unscru-
pulous administration.
