THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1852.

Hence the result of his sessional criticism was a wonder-
ful contrast to what it would have been had the triumvi-
rate—RrssELL, COBDEN, and GRAHAM—been in office.
That result was lucidly summed up by Lord LYNDHURST
in a few words :—" During the four months the present

government has been in power, more important business, '
and bills of greater utility have been passed, than in any
other session since the commencement of the present
Parliament." Lord DERBY modestly and chivalrously
ascribed the successful passing of the measures he had
carried into law to the forbearance and generosity of the
two Houses; but the country will not be so courteous,
nor forget that some of these measures were opposed
with a factious virulence and a shameless disregard of
decency unparalleled in Parliamentary warfare. But
"Le Roi est mort—Vive Le Roi !" The Parliament of
1847 is gone to the dogs—Hurrah for the Parliament of
1852 !

The coming elections absorb every other subject—
nothing else is thought of—nothing else excites the least
interest. We are all in a state of commotion, reduced to a
condition of chaos—to first elements. Society is dis-
solved, and civilisation is put in abeyance. The court,
the nobility, the gentry, even the peaceably disposed
quiet citizens have all rushed from town, and left London
and the metropolitan districts in the hands of poll clerks,
agents, candidates, and the electoral mobocracy. In a
swarm of Hums, or Goths over our city, it would not
look more unlike itself—more turned from its usual pro-
priety. It is useless to speculate on the upshot of this
appeal to the country, when a week will put us in posses-
sion of information from which we can draw some reliable
conclusion. Enough to say that the Whig-Radicals are
dispirited, and the friends of the Government are in high
hope. To-morrow London pill pronounce, and several of
the most important towns in the country, including
Liverpool. On Liverpool the eyes of England are fixed—
on her the hopes of conservative and constitutional
government are rested. Let Liverpool be true, and Eng-
la►d, her crown, and dignity are saved.

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS.

MONDAY NIGHT.

A BUOYANT feeling generally prevails in commer-
cial circles, caused in part by the increasing abun-
dance of money at low rates of discount, and in
part by the prospect of securing a strong adminis-
tration. Some degree of impetus must also have
been given to prices of all commodities by the
demand both for labour and for staple articles of
produce, caused by the rapidly-increasing emigra-
tion to Australia. The excitement of the elections,
however, has temporarily suspended business, our
exchange being almost deserted, and politics more
done in than any other article. _ _ _

The return from the Bank of England for the
week ending the 26th June gives the following re-
sults when compared with the previous week :
Public deposits .. £7,596,979; Increase £740,160
Other deposits .. 12,834,028 ; Decrease 196,931
Rest .. 3,077,944 ; Increase 2,390
On the other side of the account—

Government securities £13,874,526 ; the same as before.
Other securities.. .. 10,755,395 ; Decrease 113,255
Notes unemployed .. 14,244,620 ; Increase 728,690

The amount of notes in circulation is £21,342,555,
being a decrease of £94,430 ; and the stock of
bullion in both departments is £22,042,683, show-
ing an increase of £607,666 when compared with
the preceding return.
Our SHARE MARKET at the early part of the week
continued very active, and the amount of business
done, both speculative and for investment, was at
higher rates generally. Towards the close of the
week, however, from people generally being
engaged with the elections to come, we have
had very little doing, but there has not been
any decline in prices. The account, though
very heavy, passed easily over, and the rates of
centangs were very light. Gold mines look like
an advance. We annex the quotations of this day :
Chester and Birkenhead, 19 ; Eastern Counties,
101- 11-16 10'1; East Lancashire, 191- 20 ; Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, 84 -k 4-k 4 ; ditto £2O F, par ;
Lancaster and Carlisle thirds, llp ; London stock,
131 ; ditto new quarters, 32; Sheffield quarters,

Dover stock, 2.1 i 2 1-4- 2 ; Sheffield and Goole, 221;
York and North Midland, 261; Belfast and Bally-

PRODUCE MARKET.—Notwithstanding theeffect
of the elections, articles are pretty well supported
in price, and a healthy tone prevails. The refining
qualities of Plantation SUGAR continue in good
demand. Among the sales are 250 hhds Demerara,
at 31s. 6d. to 345., 70 hhds. Trinidad at 325. 9d.,
6,000 bags Pernambuco at 16s. 9d., also 3,850 bags
Khaur at 275., 150 bags new Dates 38s. Gd., and a
small lot of Bengal at 325. 3d.per cwt. MOLASSES
are in good request, we note sales of 500 puncheons
Antigua at 16s. Gd. ex quay, and 330 puncheons
Porto Rico with 400 puncheons Barbadoes both to
arrive, at 16s. Gd. per cwt. The COFFEE market
keeps steady, 20 tierces Jamaica have changed
hands at late rates, and GO bags St. Domingo at
425. There is a fair demand for most current
qualities of TEA. Small sales are declared for
Friday next, consisting chiefly of fine Congous.
To-day 1,000 bags Bahia COCOA, with all faults,
sold at 20s. per cwt, and we have sales to notice
of 220 tons St. Domingo Loowoon at £3. 7s. rd.
to £3. 10s. per ton, 100 cases CASTOR OIL at 3-W.
to 3 d. per lb, also 260 bags Bombay LINSEED at
455. to 465. 3d., SO chests SHELL LAC at 425., and
160 bags SAGO FLOUR at 14s. per cwt.
COTTON. —The market during the past week has

been quiet, but steady ; and, although the sales I
were to a fair extent, no change of moment has
taken place in prices, except the common qualities
of Surat, which are a point in favour of the buyer
since Friday. The accounts per the America do
not contain any new feature respecting the new
crop. The sales of the last three business days
sum up about I 8,000 bales, of which from three
to four thousand are on speculation and for export.
The import since Thursday is 15,000 bales.
The demand for all descriptions of WooL
continues steady, but as nearly all the Foreign
now here i 3 held for Public Sale, there is little
business doing : prices are firm.
GRAlN.—There was an improved tone in the
market for Grain on Friday. Wheat was the turn
higher. The recent showery state of the weather
has chiefly produced this result. We have a favor-
able change of two days, with a prospect of its
continuance.

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.

YESTERDAY.

CHILD Roaatsc.—Elizabeth Bethel was placed before
T. W. Rathbone and J. H. Turner, Esys., charged with
robbing several children of clothes, &c. It appeared that
the practice of the prisoner was to stop children in the
st Teets with either baskets or bundles of clothes, and on
promise of a small gratuity, sending them some trifling
errand, telling them she would take care of the clothes
until they returned. Of course on their return she was
not to be found. On being apprehended a quantity of
clothes were found in her house. She was committed for
trial.

PrcKING POCICET.—A boy, named Patrick Burns, was
remanded to prison for seven days on a charge of picking
a female's pocket of Is. sd. in money.
STEALING Co-rrox.—An old Irishwoman, named Ann
Mealia, was committed for five days on a charge of steal-
ing cotton.

TOWN COUNCIL—We understand that, in consequence
of the election, the usual montilly meeting of the Council
will not be held till Monday next.

OMINOUS.—The first place of rendezvous on the Radi-
cal Processsion placard is the Necropolis .' Does no
this foreshadow " the beginning of the end !"—Squib.

EMIGRATION DURING THE PRESENT YEAR.—From
the late report of the Emigration Commissioners, it ap-
pears that 103,216 persons emigrated in the first four
months of the present year from the twelve principal
ports in the united kingdom. In the corresponding
period of 1851 the number was 103,554.
DR. PARR AND THE LADY.—The rudeness of Dr.
Parr to ladies was sometimes extreme. To a lady who
had ventured to oppose him with more warmth of temper
than cogency of reasoning, and who afterwards apologised
for herself by saying " that it was the privilege of women
to talk nonsense," " No, Madam," he repled, " it is not
their privilege, but their infirmity. Ducks would walk
if they could, but nature suffers them only to waddle '"
IMPORTANCE OF EMPHASIS.—A stranger from
country, observing one of Carpenter's roller count

answered, " It is a rule for counting-houses." Too

A PROTESTANT DISSENTER'S REASONS
FOR VOTING AGAINST MR. CARDWELL.

TO EDWARD CARDWELL, ESQ

Liverpool, July sth, 1852

Szn,—As numerous meetings, professedly of Protestant
Dissenters, have been held of late, to secure your election
for this town, permit me to inform you and the public
why T, as an Evangelical Dissenter, feel constrained to vote
against you. You are to address the Electors to-morrow
at your nomination, and may think it worth while to refer
to my objections. If you remove them satisfactorily
to me, I pledge myself to vote for you. _ . .

Upon the ground of your identity with the class of
politicians known as Peelites, it is unnecessary to stop for
formal proof. Your warm support by some, and your
equally warm hostility from others, have proceeded from
this cause. You were the intimate friend, both political
and personal, of the late Sir R. Peel. You are regarded
in the same light by the present chiefs of the party. You
formed a member of their last Administration, and if they
should succeed again to power, it is confidently stated by
your friends, that you would be Chancellor of the Exche-
quer. Your friends consider you as justly entitled to the
alleged merits of the Peelites when in office. You must
also be regarded as responsible for their demerits.
Amongst many others I specify the following :

. .
Ist. That you and the Peelites being in power and
charged with the appointment of a tutor to the Prince of
Wales, selected the present Bishop of Oxford, thus placing
the training of our future King in the hands of a subtile
Tractarian, whose three brothersand whose brother-in-law
have since joined the church of Rome ; and who, the sub.
scriber, in common with many others, believes would
himself, ere this, have become a Popish Priest, but that
he can advance the views of Rome better as a Bishop of
the Church of England, to which he was appointed by you
and the Peelites.

2nd—That you and the Peelites being in power
during the recent convulsions of the Church of Scotland,
and, as the government of the country, calla upon to
pour oil on the troubled waters, did, on the contrary, take

every opportunity, both in the House of Commons and out
of it, to taunt, insult, and irritate the non-intrusion party,
and finally forced on " the disruption," thus inflicting
a heavy blow upon the Established Churches of the land,
and introducing heart-burnings and bitter dissentious
through the length and breadth of Scotland.
3rd. That you and the Peelites, being in power, did; at

the instance of an Irish Unitarian minister, adopt as a

government measure, and pass into law, a bill prepared
by him, which Mr. Blackburne, the chairman of one
of your Dissenting public meetings, on another public
occasion not long since, most properly designated the
"Infamous" Dissenters' Chapels Bill, by which'upwards of
a million's worth of property, rightfully belonging to the
Evangelical Dissenters of England and Ireland, was
handed over to the Socinians, who, but for this most
timely spoliation of orthodox funds, must soon have
ceased to be known amongst the religious communities of
the land.

4th. Whilst you and the Peelites were thus insidiously
corrupting the principles of the Prince and the Church by
Puseyite teachers and bishops, and weakening and robbing
evangelical Christians, in all parts of thekingdom, and of all
sects, both Churchmen and Dissenters, you were engaged
not only in enriching Socinianism with the spoils, but in
increasing the Endowment to Maynooth, and in placing it
upon the Consolidated Fund ; thus presenting the singular
coincidence of employing office and power in strengthening
and extending Puseyism, Socinianism, andiPopery, at the
same time that you were weakening, and discouraging,
and robbing Evangelism.

sth. That you and the Peelites, being professedly the
friends of Lord John Russell and the Whigs, have inva-
riably acted in opposition to the noble lord, and on a late
occasion, having had the offer of a junction with the
Whigs, and having had it in your power to perpetuate the
Free-trade measures lately adopted v.nd to consolidate a
liberal government, refused, and by that refusal broke up
the Russell Administration, drove out the Free-traders,
and brought in the Protectionists, thus completely re.
moving all claims of support by consistent Whigs, and
proving your party to be as much the political opponents
of Lord John as of Lord Derby.

For these and other reasons the undersigned cannot
help regarding you and the Peelites, as, if notactual Jesuits,
at least very jesuitically inclined. Your " cleverness,"
so much talked of, in deceiving so many professedly
" good Protestants" and " intelligent merchants," by
your undoubted Evangelism, as the friend of the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury and Dr. Chalmers, taken in con-
nection with the facts already adduced, only confirm
the suspicion, and certainly can prove no more in your
case than in that of another personage still " cleverer,"
who, whilst performing deeds of the blackest darkness, is
able to impose upon multitudes of " most intelligent per-

sons," and to pass for an angel of light.
These, Sir, are my views and feelings, and with them
you will see that, till I first dispose of my conscience, I
must vote against you. Remove them, and you shall have
my vote, and my best thanks too, with those of many
others—meantime, I enclose my card to the Editor of the
Standard, who will certify, if need be, that I am
A GENUINE PROTESTANT DISSENTER.

DISCOVERY AND SEIZURE OF ALLEGED I

ORANGEMEN'S ARMS.

ON Saturday afternoon the public were thrown into a
state of great excitement, by the publication, in a third
edition of the Journal, of a statement that the magis-
trates had received information of a number of dangerous
weapons (pikes) being in process of manufacture, under
the superintendence of an Orange Alderman, intended
for the use of the Orangemen on the day of election ; and
that they had been seized on the premises of the party
making them. The Albion, yesterday, published a

repetition of the charge, and a further statement that " a
second lot of weapons were found on Wednesday evening,

at the shop of Mr. Taylor, turner, Great Crossball-street ;"
and added: " The same evening were found, in a place in
Hatton-garden, a large quantity of tin emblems, crowns,
bibles, stars, moons, &c., formed to fit on the top of the
weapons, which would then present the appearance of

innocent baubles ; but, when the time of action arrived,

the tin tops could be removed, and a spear placed in a
hole prepared for the purpose."

Such charges made against a numerous body of men,
during a period of great excitement, and when it was
known that the Irish population of the town, opposed to
them in religion, would be but too easily led to rush into
collision with them, ought not to have been made lightly,
even if true; and their being placarded on the walls was
most unjustifiable in any case, and calculated to lead to
serious breaches of the peace, and possible loss of life.
The impression circulated that the Orangemen meditated
an attack upon the Irish Catholics may probably lead the
latter to prepare for retaliation, for there is unfortunately
little time left now to remove such impression from the
minds of an ignorant and psssionate people.
We are enabled distinctly to state that the affair is a
bubble from first to last. There was no concealment
used to justify the magistrates or the officers arriving at
the conclusion that the alleged " weapons" were
intended for any improper purpose. They were lying
openly in a respectable painter's shop, within two doors
from the Town-hall, for the purpose of being painted, and
were simply intended for carrying in the procession the
regalia—a bible, a crown, a liver, and a ship. They
were formed so as to divide in two for the purpose of
being more easily carried to the place of rendezvous,
without exciting unnecessary notice ; and were to be
placed under the charge of respectable gentlemen, who
would only entrust them to responsible persons. Lastly,
they were not ordered by, or for, the Orangemen at all;
but by the Chairman and deputy-chairman of Scotland,
Exchange, and Vauxhall Wards, to be carried in the
processions belonging to those Wards.
A letter was yesterday afternoon presented to the Mayor
and magistrates, of which the following is a copy, by a
deputation which waited upon them at the Sessions-
house for the purpose of demanding their restoration :

" Liverpool, July 5, 1852

" Sir,—We understand that the police have taken in
charge the regalia wands o' der.3d by us for the use of the
wards to which we respecti• ely belong. We beg to state
that the regalia to be carried consists imply of emblems
of a ship, a liver, a crown, and a globe, and are conse-
quently unobjectionable. We regret that the placard is-
sued by the Journal should have been issued last Satur-
day : it is unjust, and calculated to lead to excitement.
We beg, to say that the statement as to the Orange body
having ordered the wands is untrue. The wands were or-
dered by us on behalf of our wards. The wands to which
we refer are about 100 in number. We shall be glad to
give any further explanation if required ; and we beg that
the wands may be restored. They will be under the sole
control of ourselves and our respective committees, and
we shall hold ourselves responsible for the carrying out of
the purpose for which they were intended, viz. the carry-
ing of emblems at the head of each ward.
" We are, Sir, your obedient servants,
" RICHARD EDWARDS, Exchange Ward.
" THOMAS WILLIAMS, Vauxhall Ward.
"THOMAS WATSON, Scotland Ward."

After the magistrates had consulted together for a short
time, the deputation were informed that the magistrates
were perfectly satisfied that the wands were made for a legi-
timate purpose ; and it was intimated that the wrong
impression which had gone forth respecting them would
be corrected by authority. In the mean time, however,
it is but too certain that the scandalous misrepresentation
has answered its object in damaging, and producing an ill
feeling against the body misrepresented. We are desired
to state, in conclusion, that there is no Orangeman an
Alderman of Liverpool, or even a member of the Town
Council.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTF,RD tY. —Mr. James
M'Coskie had a first class certificate granted to him by
Mr. Commissioner Perry, without opposition.—Mr.
James Leader, builder, came up for his certificate, on the
application of Mr. Tyrer. Mr. Harvey, on behalf of the
assignees, offered no opposition. Mr. Evans, solicitor,
appeared for a creditor, but merely asked a few questions,
and then offered no opposition. A certificate of the first
class was granted.

WENHAM LAKE ICE.—The Parliament, which has just
arrived from Boston, has on board a large consignment of
this celebrated ice for Messrs. H. T. Ropes and Co.
Wenham Lake ice is undoubtedly the purest and the best
imported. It is a luxury this weather.
CONSECRATION OF CHRIST CHURCH, EALING.-011
Wednesday morning, the Bishop of London consecrated
this beautiful church, which has been built through the
munificence and librality of Miss Lewis, who has almost
entirely defrayed the cost. The church stands within a
few minutes' walk of the Ealing station. After service
was over, the bells pealed out merrily, and the company
went to Miss Lewis's residence, where an elegant dejotiter
was provided.

THE HUMAN HEART is like a feather-bed—it must be
roughly handled, well shaken, and exposed to a variety of
turns, to prevent it becoming hard.

How TO PREACH.—When you preach, be real. Set
your people before you in their numbers, their dangers,
their capacities ; choose a subject, not to show yourself
off, but to benefit them, and then speak straight to them,
as you would beg your life, or counsel your son, or call
your nearest friend from a burning house, in plain, strong,
earnest words.—Bishop of Oxford.

THE MINISTERIAL FISH DINNER.—The custom grew
up in this manner :—Towards the end of the last century
and at the beginning of the present, the Commissioners of
Dagenham Reach included the First Lord of the Trea-
sury, with several other high functionaries, and some
Elder Brothers of the Trinity•house—amongst others, Sir
Robert Preston, who had a house near the Reach, and
was intimately acquainted with Pitt. During Pitt's pre-
miership the commissioners made an annual expedition
down the river to survey the Dagenham Reach embank-
ments ; and they afterwards dined on or near the scene
of their not very laborious duties, Sir Robert Preston
supplying the fruit for the dessert. When this prescrip-
tive excursion was discontinued, some of the most dis-
tinguised Tories resolved to have an annual dinner of
their own, and formed themselves into a club for that
purpose, Candidates were at first admitted by ballot, as
in the case of other analogous institutions ; and the minis-
terial character attached to the rAnion arose from the
accidental circumstance of the club being mainly com-
posed of persons whose tenure of power had lasted so
long, and seemed so little liable to more than temporal:),
interruption, as to justify them, in their own opinion, in
assuming official existence as the basis of their convivial
intercourse. The Secretary of the Treasury for the time
being was always charged with the arrangements of the
party, the payment of the bill, &c. ; and eventually the
belief got abroad that any Tory, ,:entitled to wear the blue
and gold uniform, was an injured individual unless he re-
ceived his annual summons to eat white bait in right hon-
ourable company. It is commonly agreed that no one
contributed more to the general hilarity of these festivities
than the late Sir Robert Peel, who was a striking example
of the truth that high reputation in one line may fre-
quently disqualify a man from acquiring an equally well
deserved fame in another. When in the fulness of health
and hope he presided at the fish dinner, he was confessedly
the most amusing of the party, and the readiest and most
apt in the required allusions, " May we keep their places
without their flounders," was, on one occasion, his good
humoured allusion to the discomfited Whigs. When the
present Premier once acted as chairman, he was fortu-
nately aided by an excellent whipper-in, who, by way of
preparation, had carefully analysed the division-lists of
the session just concluded. From these it appeared that
a right honourable baronet had been the most assiduous
attendant in the House of Commons, and the late Sir
William Follett the most remiss. As soon as the cloth
was removed, they were required to appear before the
chair ; and a comic reproof was administered to the dis-
tinguished lawyer—who, by the way, only half relished the
joke—whilst the right honourable baronet was solemnly
presented with a penny mug, labelled " A reward for
Jemmy for being a good boy."—Morning paper.

LORD ELDON'S FATHER.—After the death of his first

of marrying any one of his maids who should first appear
on his ringing the bell. He rang, and the chambermaid
came up, to whom he abruptly said. " Get yourself ready,
and go with me to be married." The silly girl, treating
the affair as a joke, refused, and withdrew. He rang the
bell a second time, when the cookmaid appeared, to
whom he said, " Well, my girl, I intend this day to make
you my wife ; go and dress yourself in the best you have,
and order the coach to be ready immediately." She took
him at his word, dressed herself, and coming down stairs

was met by the silly chambermaid, who asked her,
" 'Where she was going ?" She answered' " Abroad—l
have my master's leave." She had scarce utter
words, when her master came down, and took

THE ELECTION FOR LIVERPOOL.

THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE PROCESSIONS
AND THE POLLING.
THE writ for the election of members for this borough
was received by the Mayor on Thursday; and at noon his
worship made the usual proclamation in front of the
Town-hall, fixing the nomination for (this day) Tuesday,
at ten o'clock, a.m., and the polling to take place from
eight, a.m., to four, p.m., on Wednesday (to-morrow).
I t baying been determined that both parties should be
escorted to the hustings by a procession of their friends,
