The merest glance at the above will show how all-im-
portant to our shipping interests are those British colo-

nection with us it is the fashion of our modern political
economists to treat as worthless.

EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SIR,—I have just heard a fact which is so remarkably
illustrative of Mr. M'Neile's sensible and practical argu-
ments against the "Alliance," that I think you will be
doing good service to the cause of ecclesiastical good
order defended by that reverend gentleman, if you will
give insertion to it in your valuable journal. It is this :
A dissenting minister of some note in this town, who was
present at the late meeting of the alliance at the amphi-
theatre. has since refused to pay his quota of church-rate.
When remonstrated with upon the subject and pressed
by the apostle's injunction to eive tribute to whom tribute
is due, he defended himself on the plea that though bound
by the scripture to pay tribute for secular matters. he
could not, with a safe conscience, submit to this ecclesias-
tical impost. Yet, doubtless, he is ready to join the forth-
coming meetings of the alliance, and to speak honied
words to churchmen. How can members of the estab-
lished church be so deluded as to imagine that a so-called
alliance with such men can have any other result than to
add to our unhappy divisions by separating churchmen
from churchmen ? Is not this the resuit really desired by
many, that in the end, the church of England may be
more and more weakened ? If we had a general election
month, would not a large majority of the dissenting mem-
bers of the alliance support Romanist, or Soci Lian, or in-
fidel candidates, if they were voluntaries and free-traders,
in opposition to really Christian men, if they were con-
scientious and zealous churchmen ?

No doubt of it.—l am, sir, with awakened jealousy for
our venerable establishment, yours, &c., _
