To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,—By reprinting the following lines, which appeared in

your valuable paper on the 6th of June, 1835, (nearly seventeen

years ago,) you will greatly oblige

AN OLD SUBSCRIBER

CHARACTER OF A RADICAL

A radical's character is easy to draw,
He hates to obey, hut would govern the law
In manners unsocial, in temper unkind,
A rebel in conduct, a tyrant in mind.

Malignant, implacable, enviously sour,
He envies all those who have riches or power ;
So empoisoned himself, he would gladly destroy
The comforts and blessings that others enjoy.

THE MAYNOOTH GRANT.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SIR.—How is it that Government rot only tolerate. but abso-
lutely support, a system whose ministers are so thoroughly
disaffected to the institutions and welfare of our country?
Some time since. on the passing of our very inadequate Eccle-
siastical Titles Bill, a certain number of Romanists in this
town made long speeches about what they would not do.
Amongst the rest a certain noble father (albeit no husband)
made the following very prieNtlike denunciation of our Most'
GRACIOtTS SOVEREIGN :—" Our Gracious Queen, I sly our
BLACKGUARD QUEEN ! ! I care not for their hill—l tell you,
',en, I SHALL OPPOSE THE BILL !!"

And this, sir, in England ; this in the land that supports the
ungrateful brood ; this to the face of the people, but for whose
toleration and christian charity they would be unknown. Why
is such language permitted, and why does not the government
of this country see to it? Why do they not see that Popery is
a moral mania, whi,h, if tolerated at large, will not rest content
till her Babylonish hands reek once more with English blood.
This matter needs attention from Englishmen ; the issue is
with Him who has decreed that the beast shall yet for a title
time war against the saints, and, after that, "he destroyed
with the brightness of His cominz."

SANATORY IMPROVEMENTS

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SlR,—Some time ago I observed a draft of a sanatory bill in
the local papers, which it was intended to have submitted to
parliament, but, from an accompanying paragraph, it seemed
that the immediate promoters of the bill were induced to with-
draw it in consequence of the ascertained intention of the Earl
of Sefton, as lord-lieutenant of the county, to oppose it. I beg
frankly to state, that the two prime points which the draft did
not contain, but which the bill ought to contain, are, first, a
clause to do away with the holding of public schools in cellars
and underneath church edifices ; and, second, a clause to do

away wit
