COMPOUND RENAL PIL LE((as their name Renal.
or:the Kidneys, indicates) have been long established as a
most safe and efficacious remedy for the above dangerous
complaints, Discharges of any kind, and 'Diseases of the Kid-
neys, Vic., which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering
painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dis-
like of -Society, Incapacity for Study or 3usiness, Loss of
Memory, Contusion, Giddiness, Blood•tuthe Head, Drowsi-
ness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even In-
sanity itself. they are unequalled. Possessing tonic proper-
ties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen
the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the
general health. They require neither confinement nor change
of diet, and, as experience has amply proved, they will effect
azure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have
failed. One Trial will convince the most sceptical of their
surprising properties.
Mr. Letellier, Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills have
done wonders with me and others to whom !lave recom-
mended them:"
H. C., Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most
splendid medicine."
J. Murphy, 7Q, Upper Sterin-street, Dublin.—" I never met
the like of them before, they are really a surprising medicine."
T. Webster, Esq.,Seal ford, Melton Mowbray.—" Your valu-
able Renal Pills have done good to every one I gave them to."
Mr. Thos. Williams, at Mr. Hutchings, baker, King-street,
Chelsea.—" I was persuaded to try your most beautiful Pills,
and am happy to inform you I have received more benefit
from them than from any of the medical men in London:"
W. Chartres, Esq., Newport, Mayo.—" I have a degree of
mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two
years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can
ecollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of
clearness. It is astonishing bow I got out of such awful suf,
ferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use of your Pills."

cannot store more important articles of health than the above.
which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquil-
lizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so
prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and other complaints
incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emi-

when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these
Pills a never-failing restorative.

TIIE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.

peace and prosperity of Lancashire in 1838. That
feeling of mutual good will which ought to temper
the asperity of such differences seems not to pre-
vail at all; education has done little to tame the
fierce passions which actuate the one side, and the
reluctance with which every attempt to mitigate
the duration of toil has been conceded by the
other, leave little reason to anticipate any other
terms of settlement than those dictated by self-
interest. The men seem determined to obtain all
they can wrest from their employers by intimida-
tion, and the latter appear determined to resist to
the verge of safety, so that no alternative remains,
if peace is to be preserved, but a resort to those
principles of arbitration which the masters have so
confidently recommended.

THE present Mayor, SAMUEL HOLME, Esq.,
will to-morrow resign into the hands of his suc-
cessor the office which he has held during the
year with such credit to himself and advantage to
his fellow-townsmen. During his year of office
Mr. HOLME has won golden opinions from all sorts
of people, and we cannot forego the present oppor-
tunity of contributing to the chaplet of honours
which he has so nobly earned and so well deserved.
It is a feeling which we share in common with
all Liverpool, from whom comes the unanimous
verdict of approval, and no higher reward can any
man expect than that which Mr. HOLME has so
successfully achieved. All intelligent men possess
some share of political bias, but the Mayor of
Liverpool has not allowed his to transpire in any
way : when he accepted office he banished all his
prejudices, and assumed the happy medium of
impartiality, which he has kept with unswerving
constancy ever since. In the administration of
his judicial duties he has been diligent and im-
partial, tempering justice with mercy, and giving
dignity to the tribunal at which, he presided. In
the exercise of the duties of hospitality, which
are not the least important of those belonging to
the chief magistrate, Mr. HOLME has shown a
generous profuseness which knew no distinctions
of party, and enabled his fellow-townsmen to
partake largely of the festivities of the Town-hall.
In the support of public charities and local institu-
tions, his services and his purse have been ever at
the command of benevolence. When called upon
to visit officially the metropolitan cities of Eng-
land and Ireland, the dignity of Liverpool lost
nothing in his hands, but rather received new
lustre. And when, at the closing meeting of the
Town Council, the customary vote of thanks to
him for his services was submitted for decision, it
was not simply carried as a matter of course, but
was the warm expression of unanimous approval,
passed with acclamations, the solitary exception
being a querulous complaint, in which no one
sympathised, and which Mr. HOLME can well
afford to pass over with the contempt which it
deserved. Amongst all the differences of opinion
which prevail in every community, there can be
none as to the meed of approbation to which Mr.
HOLME is so deservedly entitled, for the admirable
manner in which he has filled the office of Mayor
of Liverpool.
Having thus performed a pleasing duty, we may
congratulate our fellow-townsmen on the judicious
choice of a successor which the Town Council will
make to-morrow, in the election of Mr. JOHN BUCK
LLOYD as Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year.
He is favourably known as possessing a high
degree of intelligence, and those qualities which
raise man above his fellows. As chairman of the
committee for the erection of St. George's Hall,
he has taken a prominent part in the improvement
of the town, and we are confident that his accession
to the Mayoralty will be hailed by all classes with
unmingled satisfaction; and we greet him with this
early welcome, in full reliance that, when his year
of office shall be brought 'to a close, we shall have
the same pleasing duty which has been afforded us
by his predecessor.

IT will be remembered that the Ecclesiastical
Titles Prevention Act was passed with the osten-
sible object of restraining the assumption of
ecclesiastical titles conferred by a foreign power,
more especially those by the Pope .of Rome. It
would seem, however, that Whig-made laws are
not intended to do more than gratify a transient
feeling, and that-Protestant indignationhaving been
soothed by thetbill laving received the sanction of
Parliament, the law may 'be broken with impunity
even by those Who .are sworn to uphold it. A short
time since an application for a return of income was
made to JOHN 'CANTWELL, who illegally assumes
to be the Lord DiShop of Meath, and in excess of
courtesy—for itis more than he is entitled to—he
was styled " the Rev. Jour! CANtrw-ELL." Not
content with this -small measure of grace, he
appealed to Mr. 'W. P. URQUHART, M.P. for West-
meath, complaining that, as his assumed 'title
was ignored, he had no right to pay a 'tax
on the income which he derived from it. Such
specious sophistry, worthy of a Jesuit, was -too
transparent, it niight have been thought, to be
listened to for an instant ; but the wily Romanist
had an ulterior object, and it now appears that
Whig truculency has .allowed him 'to gratify it.
The appeal of Mr. CANTWELL was forwarded to the
Irish Income-tax Com Missioners, and the following
is an extract from the reply, which is signed " A.
MARTIN," and dated "Income-tax-offiee, D'Olier-
estreet, Dublin, 25th October" :
" The commissioners desire me to express their sincere
regret that the officer employed in distributing income-
-tax forms in your .district should (from ignorance of the
designations usually observed in such cases) have committed
an apparent violation of courtesy towards a Roman
Catholic Bishop. The special commissioners have written
to the surveyor of the district on the subject, directing
that a fresh form shall be sent to•the bishop, superscribed
with his episcopal designation."

The Emancipation Act of 18'29 opened the doors
of office to men who had previously been excluded
on the ground of their filth in Romanism. The
fruits of it are now apparent in the duties ,of
Government being entrusted to palpable traitors,
who.opeuly lend the sation of•authority to gross
breaches,sf positive laws. Is .allthe Protestantism
in the House of Commons exhausted, or is it of no
consequence whether Rome or our,own Church has
the cure,of souls in Ireland?

A ROYAL COMMISSION is now sitting to inves-
tigate the alleged monster grievances in the Cor-
poration of London, an institution believed by one
party to be the perfection of human reason, and by
another to be the head-quarters of corruption. If
we are to judge of the nature of the inquiry by the
manner in which it has been commenced, we can-
not augur much good to result from it. The first
witness examined was a man who pushed himself
forward, his only claim to attention being his se-
cretaryship of a Corporate Reform Association, and ,
the next witness was Mr. TRAVERS, a wholesale
grocer, who has long been notorious for his ultra-
Radicalism. The inquiry has not, however, been
without interest, for a charge was made by the
first witness against the Corporation which has
roused the ire of the London daily papers. He
stated that £l,OOO a year had been expended by
the Corporation in bribing the daily papers for their
advocacy of corruption, but, on inquiry, it turned
out that the hall-keeper had instructions to pur-
chase 300 copies of that paper which gave the
largest report of the proceedings at each Council
meeting. Notwithstanding this explanation, the
Times has eagerly seized the opportunity to make
an indignant tirade against the venality of its con-
temporaries, 'repudiating having any share in the
transaction, and leaving all the rest open to sus-
picion. They, however, were not content with' this
