The so, 1 event of the past week has been the grand
otic 'of the lady of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER. This assemblage of the elite of all that was
noble, distinguished and influential in the metropolis, to
do honour to Mr. DISRAELI, and pay respect to his wife,
was a splendid crowning to the brief but brilliant season
of 1852. It was a generous and magnificent tribute paid

one connect aith literature, when that superb assem-
bly of princes, nobles, statesmen, ',warriors, representa-
tives of sovereigns, and persons eminent by their station,
their talents and their virtues, pressed forward to pay
their homage to the amiable lady who, for the first
time, held her court at Grosvenor Gate. Although
small in comparison with first-class London mansions,
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S house is
perfect bijou of gorgeous magnificence and cultivated
taste. It is evident that while the variety, the delicate
arrangement, and the fastidious elegance of the de-
tails betray the hand and taste of the cultivated woman,
the genius of the master presides over the ensemble. It
is the house of a man of refinement, of a poet, of a true
connoisseur in everything beautiful, artistic, and exquisite.
In every respect Mrs. DISRAELI' s first grand reception was
a memorable event in London fashionable life. There
was a vast difference between this congregation of the
highest and the proudest in the land to the private
dwelling of Mr. DISRAELI, and the rush that was made a
few years back to the imposing palace of the Railway
King. Homage paid to mere wealth is reprehensible, and
reflects credit neither on the giver nor reeeiver, as was well
remarked by Sir ROBERT INGLIS when he rebuked in
dignified language, the preposterous HUDSONIAN mania.
On the present occasion the homage paid was legitimate—
it did honour to those who gave it, as well as to those
on whom it was conferred. However we may differ in
opinion of Mr. DISRAELI, all must admit his shining

That precious specimen of Whig respectability, high
principle, and morality in public and private life, the MAR.
QC'S of CLANRICARDE, has been disporting himself in
his natural element—the dirty waters of faction—with
great satisfaction to himself and party, and with much in-
struction to the public at large, who are deeply interested
in the tricks, manoeuvres, and schemes of that cabal of
GREYS, RUSSELLS, ELLIOTS, and Co., which claims to
inherit the right divine of governing the kingdom to the
exclusion of all other persons. The clean-handed, vir-
tuous CLANRICARDE took on himself the agreeable duty
of rolling Lord MALMESBURY in the mud, and conceived
that he had a favourable opportunity for doing so by trip-
ping him up with " The Convention with France for the
Extradition of Criminals Bill." But the cadaverous

THE MANAGEMENT CLAUSES.

THE disposition of party to show fight upon every
point has been exhibited in a recent Parliamentary
debate upon what are called " the Management
Clauses." At the annual meeting of the National
Society the nature of the alterations introduced by
the Education Committee of the Privy Council was
not stated; but it appears since, that, whereas, the

clergyman was formerly allowed to dismiss the
teachers, and appeal to the bishop of the diocess on
matters of a purely religious character, he is now
permitted to do so on questions "moral or religious."

This simple alteration was the casus Belli. It was
contended that as no definition of the term "moral"
was given, it might be strained to mean anything
or everything, according to circumstances; but it
is clear that the same thing might be said of the
term " religious," or of any other. The law will, of
n limit in this nnse_ as in every other. It
questions of mere church government and those
which affect the rights of property. It is said, in
some quarters, that because Archdeacon DENISON
and his friends were so well pleased with the change,
there must be something very bad in it, which we
cannot see; and it is stated that the opposite party
are about to establish a new society as a rival to the
National Society. We hope they will have more
good sense than to create or perpetuate further
division ; for though the alteration is, perhaps, in
the right direction, political excitement and party
sensitiveness have attributed to it far too great
importance.

at present to note any great amount of spirit.
SUGAR and COFFEE are the turn dearer. In other
articles there is little apparent change.
COTTON.—The sales for the week, as made up
for Friday's Circular, were 44,410 bales, of which
speculators took 10,100, exporters 4,540, leaving
29,970 for the trade. The prices declared on Friday

The stock is 60,000 bales less than last year, and
the supply will for some time be moderate. The
accounts from the States, per the Asia steamer,
bring lower prices ; but this is only looked upon
as temporary, the stock being in so small a compass.
The market to-day, however, was sluggish.
Holders were more liberal in their offers, so that
buyers had a better choice. Fair Cotton is quoted
this evening the same as on Friday. The sales of
the last three business days are estimated at about
19.000 bales—namely, 7000 on Friday, 6000 on
Saturday, and nearly 6000 to-day; of the above,
speculators and exporters have taken fully 5000.
The market closed this afternoon steadily, but with
tameness.

PRODUCE.-The markets since the publication of
the brokers' circular have been steady. SUGAR

since Thursday include 350 hhds Barbadoes at 325.

GRAIN, &c.-There was a slight improvement in
wheat at the commencement of the week, but this
was lost on Friday. Flour, both sweet and sour,
were, however, in demand, and the former advanced
3d. and the latter Gd. per barrel.
THE IRON TRADE.-The principal feature of
interest in this trade is a steady and extensive
demand for both home consumption and export.
The order books for most descriptions of iron at the
manufactories are said to be better filled than they
have been for the last three years, and in several
instances the contracts on hand are of a nature to
require more than the whole of the ensuing quarter
for their completion. At the recent meeting of the
Stourbridge masters, however, no advance was
determined upon, as at present, although an average
of ss. per ton on manufactured, and 2s. 6d. on pig-
iron, is being actually realised, more than at the
last quarterly meetings, the quotations of a very
large number of makers and manufacturers are still
below the nominal rates previously declared. The
quarterly meetings commence on the 6th proximo.

AT THE DOVER QUARTER SESSIONS, on Friday, the
Hon. W. O'Brien Fitzgerald, alias William Bennett So-
thers, was sentenced to seven years' transportation, for
obtaining £4O from Mr. W. R. H. Payne, solicitor, with
a fraudulent intent. The Earl of Carlisle gave evidence
against the prisoner.—The prisoner was charged with ob-
taining various other sums, making the total amount to
£B7O.

THE RAGE FOR EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA is unpre-
cedented. All classes appear to be bitten by the mania.
Servants of every description, as well as labourers and
artizans, are exerting themselves with the utmost possible
zeal, in order to leave their native land. The Mayor of
Limerick Ir.s already taken the names of 800 persons who
have signified their anxious desire to go to Australia ; and
many have intimated their wish to augment the list.
BRIGADIER PRINCE ALBERT IN HYDE PARK.—It has
hardly been known to the public that Prince Albert has
during this week been out several times with the brigade
of Foot Guards at morning drill in Hyde Park. The cir-
cumstance escaped general notice in consequence of the
Prince being in the uniform of the Guards. We were
much gratified to see the steady and skilful manner in
which his Royal Highness handled the brigade, the move-
ments being, without exception, of the practical and not
the showy character usually practiced. We noticed in
plain clothes the Adjutant General and several old officers
carefully taking an observation. There was also a chiel
takin' notes, and he now prints them. The wise heads at
the clubs shake them and wag their tongues that all this
savours of an early appointment to be commander in
duet, in spite of all the rumours of law objections. We
do not, however, think so, but are of opinion that the
Prince is rubbing off some military rust so apt to visit
soldiers more in courts than camps.—Naval and Military
Gazette.

ATTEMPT TO POISON THE FRENCH AMIIASSADOR AT
ROME.--Accounts from Rome mention an attempt made
by a servant of the French ambassador, M. de Rayneval,
to poison his master and his family, because he had not
been chosen to accompany the ambassador, in his recent
trip to Paris. l t appears that on a day fixed for the de.
parture of the Countess Rayneval for the baths of Aix, in
Savoy, when the cafe aux lail was brought to table for
breakfast, the milk Ras found to have a disagreeable taste
and peculiar appearance, so much so as to induce suspi-
cion in the mind of his Excellency, who ordered some of
it to be given to a cat. The cat soon after died, and the
few persons who had tasted of the milk were seized with
cholic. This was sufficient. The milk was analysed, and
found to contain arsenic, and some circumstances attach-
ing suspicion to the servant, he was immediately placed
in confinement. Had tho poison boon put in the cuffei
instead of the milk, probably the taste would not have
bccn remarked, and the fell intent of the murderer might
have succeeded; in which case the blame would most
likely have been thrown as usual upon the Republican
sectarians, a political colour would have been given to the

DEATH FROM THE FALLING OF A DOOR.
On the body of Thomas Leah, a boy aged nine years,
who lived with his parents in New Hall-street. On
Monday evening some men were closinc, the gate leading
into Mr. Edward Rogers' timber-yard, in Greenland-
street, when it fell upon the deceased, who was standing
near, and two other children. The gate slides backwards
and forwards, and is guided at the top by a piece of wood,
which keeps it in its place. This wood had been removed
for the purpose of allowing a cart to enter the yard, and
had not been replaced, which was the cause of the gate
falling. The deceased was removed to the Southern
Hospital, when it was found that his thigh was broken,
and he had concussion of the brain. He lingered from
the 21st to the 26th, when he died.
The Jury found a verdict of accidental death, accom-
panying it with an observation that there had been negli-
gence on the part of the servant whose duty it was to
place the piece of wood on the top of the gate to prevent
its falling. but adding that there was greater negligence on
the part of Mr. Rogers, whose duty it was tohave the gate
so constructed that such an accident could not happen.
The Coroner said he would receive the observations of
the jury as a presentment. He quite agreed with them,
and would take care the matter was represented in the
proper quarter. Then, addressini, the mother of the
deceased, he advised her to consulte her own attorney,
observing that deodands were now done away with, but
there was an Act of Parliament which enabled the next of
kin of the deceased to obtain compensation for any lass
sustained by negligence.

TO THE PROTESTANT ELECTORS OF

BROTHER ELECTORS,—Are you ready for the approach-
ing contest ? The Queen will dissolve the present Parha:
tuiwaittg week. incl.:ye§ or tnis
Protestant nation are upon you; and as it is understood
that this election will be one of the first, so it is impor-
tant that every one of you should do your daty. Let
there be no hanging back—no lukewarruness this time.
You must be either for the free circulation of an unmuti-
lated Bible, or for the Ro mish Inquisition, with all the enor-
mities of Italian priests, as witness the case Achilli versus
Newman. But enough ; it cannot be that Mr. Cardwell
can ever represent this Protestant community again. We
must have two honest men ; a merely clever man will
not do. We do not want a representative who is con-
stantly looking after his own interest, and who cannot,
will not speak his mind frankly and openly on any one
topic. A commercial community like this has a right to
have members of sound tried principles, who will state
boldly and fearlessly their views, and when they get into
Parliament carry them out. No, no, we must have
Mr. Mackenzie and Mr. Turner, and then we may expect
to be fairly and honestly represented. The day, the hour
is approaching. Use every persuasion with all who are
doubtful, and be ready to join the procession on the morn-
ing of nomination. Processions, we are told, are childish,
now that the Radicals have not the populace on their
side; but the thing this time must be done properly and
thoroughly, and let us make such a demonstration that
even poor Mr. Cardwell may not have it in his power to
call it childish.—l am, AN ELECTOR.

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.

PICKING POCKETS.jigirEnit;ed Bridget Rowe, was
charged with picking pockets in St. John's Market, on
Saturday night last. The magistrate inquired if the pri-
soner was known, and was told that about a dozen of them
bad recently arrived from Dublin to pursue their avocations
in this town. The prisoner was committed for two
months.—Two boys, named James Holliday and Alex.
Wilson were next brought up, for a similar offence. They
were committed for two months.

HOUSE ROBBERY.—Frances M'Kiverigan and Mar-
garet Barron were charged with stealing two chairs and a
quantity of wearing apparel from a house in Hornby-street,
belonging to John Griffiths. The goods were found in
possession of M`Kiverigan. Barron was discharged, and
the other prisoner committed for two months.
STEALING BEEF.—Bridget Flannaghan was committed
for seven days, having been detected stealing beef in St.
Martin's Market.

PUBLIC-HOUSE ROBBERY.—John Johnson, John
Hughes. and Patrick Hardman were charged with
stealing twenty-four pounds of pork from a public-
house kept by Anne Eastwood, in Great Crosshall-street.
The prisoners had been drinking at Mrs. Eastwood's, on
Sunday evening, and on leaving had taken three
joints of pork from the kitchen. They were shortly after
stopped in the street by a police-officer, with the pork in
their possession. They were committed for trial.
OVERCHARGE BY A BAlLlFF.—Willianl Hampson, a
bailiff, was charged by Mr. Parkhurst, auctioneer, with
making an overcharge under a distraint for rent. The
defendant, it appeared, made his distraint on some goods
which the complainant was selling, when, after some
demur, the money was paid, with Bs. costs. The charges
considered illegal were two half-crowns for two men in
possession. The defendant was ordered to pay 15s, being
three times the amount of overcharge, with costs.
DANGER OF SLEEPING IN THE STREETS.—Catherine
Roberts and Mary Smith were charged with robbing a
working man, named Richard Thomas, of his watch, in
Gibraltar-row. The prosecutor said on Saturday evening
he got a drop of beer too much, and sat down on some
steps, where he fell asleep. On awaking he found his
watch was gone. It was found in the possession of Ro-
berts. Smith was discharged, and the other prisoner was
committed for three months.

STEALING TEA.—Jame; Mullholly was charged with
stealing 24 lbs. of tea from on board the ship Continent.
He had been committed ten times previously. Sent to
prison for three months.

AssAuLT.—A respectable-looking servant girl charged
a well-dressed man, named William Collins, with an
assault. The magistrates ordered him to pay a fine of
X 5, and in default to be imprisoned for two months.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.— RE THOMAS WOOD.— On
Friday the bankrupt in this case, who carried on the
business of a grocer and provision dealer in Northwich,
obtained a certificate of the second class.

AT THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, on Saturday, an
action was brought by " the Hydromagem Waterproof
Clothing Company," of London, against Mr. John Rich-
mond, outfitter and clothier, of Liverpool, for the reco-
very of £7O 125., alleged to be due for goods for which he
had given orders, but which he had declined to take in
when offered for delivery. It was shewn that they were
inferior to sample, and a verdict was consequently returned
for the defendant.

A FINE SUMMER.—Horace Walpole says " I am told
this has been a fine summer, and, in one respect, I allow
it, for it has brought the winter so forward already,
that my grate was in full blow, on Monday, with a good
fire."

taken place lately to justify their doing away with that
grant ? The late conduct of the Pope would freely justify
it. (Hear, and cheers.) The speaker then noticed the
conduct of Lord John Russell with regard to that
subject ;—his famous letter to the Bishop of Durham,.
and the trimming manner of dealing with the Ecclesias-
tical Titles Bill before Parliament ; and then asked them
whether they would send him and his friend Mr. Turner
to Parliament, or the supporters of those who were truck-

commonly known by " The Pope's brass band ?" (Hear,.

Catholics? (Loud cheers.) He cordially sympathised
with the loyalty of his bearers, and could not but
feel surprised at those who could fraternise with
a body of men who, at a: public dinner, could place as
the first toast, that of the Pope, instead of our gracious
Sovereign. (Three cheers for the Queen and three groans
for the Pope.) In allusion to the changes which had
taken place on the Continent, the speaker showed that
shopkeepers had suffered most, andkxpressed his wonder
that they could support candidates whose principles
tended towards changes calculated to produce revolution,
anarchy, and confusion, and appealed to the meeting to
support such candidates as would maintain our glorious
Constitution in Church and State. (Loud cheers.)
Mr.TunNER, who was also enthusiastically received,
then addressed the meeting. He thanked them for the
warm reception they had given him, which he did not
attribute to any personal merits, but because in common
with them he held those principles of civil and religious
liberty to which they were all attached. (Loud cheers.)

out intending to reverse the present system of free
trade, it was his determination to do justice to all classes,
(hear, hear)—and to take care that one class was
not injured for the benefit of another. After stating at
lengths what were his opinions on the various topics at
present occupying public attention, he concluded with
expressing his determination to support our Protestant
institutions, to oppose the grant to Maynooth, and to
resist, to the utmost of his power, any aggression upon
our civil and religious liberties, or the prerogative of the
Crown, from whatever quarter it emanated. (Loud
cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then put two questions to the cand-
dates, which had been written and handed to him. The
first was whether, if the suppression of the Orange order
was proposed in Parliament, would they vote for it ?
Mr. MACKENZIE : Most certainly not. (Cheers.)
Mr. TURNER : Such a loyal institution, with such good
rules—he would feel it his duty to encourage rather than
to suppress it.
The other question was whether Mr. Mackenzie would
propose the withdrawal of the Maynooth grant, if no
other member did.
Mr. MACKENZIE said he need not answer that ques-
tion, as he was quite sure another gentleman would pro-
pose it.

An ORANGEMAN asked whether the candidates would
vote against a bill for suppressing processions.
Mr. MACKENZIE said he felt quite sure that proces-
sions of so good an order as theirs could not cause breaches
of the peace, and therefore it would be unnecessary to put
them down. (Cheers.)
Brother WM. CLARK moved the first resolution, which
was as follows :
" The Orangemen of Liverpool having heard the senti-
ments and opinions of Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner,
believe them to be in perfect accordance with those which
they, as uncompromising Protestants, hold, and hereby
unhesitatingly pledge themselves to use all constitutional
means in their power to insure their triumphant return."
The speaker entered into a description of the principles of
the Orange order, which were those of our old Protestant
worthies, who maintained the religion of their fathers, and
of the men who at the Boyne established King William
upon the throne of these realms ; and who on the day of
election would stand by the motto of " No surrender,"
and return the candidates of their choice. After an elo-
quent assertion of the loyalty of the order, the speaker
appealed forcibly to the meeting present to prove their
principles, by supporting to the utmost of their power the
candidates, and especially to be early out of their beds on
that morning, and to make up their minds to win the
election not by four o'clock in the afternoon, but by twelve
at noon. The speaker concluded amid loud applause, by
presenting to each of the candidates a rose and a lily, as
emblematic of the Protestant greatness of the British
empire, accompanied with a book of the laws and ordi-
nances of the society.
Dr. WHITTLE seconded the resolution in a neat speech,
expressing his satisfaction with the addresses of the can-
didates, and urged the members of the order to be early
at the poll. The resolution was passed unanimously.
Mr. FORBES MACKENZIE moved, and Mr. TURNER
seconded a vote of thanks to the Chairman, for his able
conduct ; and after several rounds of cheers the meeting
separated. The hall was literally crammed before the
conclusion of the proceedings, which were most enthu-
siastic throughout.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY.

Henry Martin, currier and leather dealer, of Liverpool,
came up for his certificate. Mr. Bretherton appeared for
the bankrupt, and Mr. Tyrer in opposition, on behalf of
the assignees. Mr. Tyrer urged that the bankrupt, a few
days previous to his assigning over his property, had for-
warded goods to his mother-in-iaw, which were made
a set-off against money owing to her; and that he had
not kept proper books. It appeared that he had kept
books which showed his receipts, but not his payments.
Mr. BRETHERTON, for the bankrupt, said the goods
were forwarded in fulfilment of an order previously
received, and which he was bound to execute. As to not
keeping proper books, the bankrupt had done so until he
took a second shop, when, in consequence of having more
to do than previously, his books had not been so regularly
kept. He relied on the fact that no charge was made of
anything like fraud against the bankrupt. The COM-
MISSIONER said so far from the excuse made for not keep-
ing proper accounts being a valid one, he was of opinion
that if the bankrupt could not manage a second shop
regularly, he had no business to take one. Taking
that into consideration, and also the suspicious circum-
stance of goods having been sent to the mother-in-law
so recently before the assignment, lie was of opinion that
the certificate ought to be suspended for six months, and
then it should be of the third class.

Mr.BRETHERTON hoped his Honour would grant pro-
tection.
