THE MERCURY AND THE RATEPAYERS•

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDO?:
SIR, It was once written that " the grand secret Of °ll.
government was to rule without being felt ;" but it .dill.
be marvellously strange, if, after recent events and cool 9
changes, the Liverpool Mercury" is able to maintsul
its rule over that class of ratepayers who have been will
moved, hitherto, into voting action at Easter; by the de-
clamatory powers of certain potentates in that las'
planet.. After maintaining a higher price for advertise;
merit columns, salved over by a supplementary readers
sheet I find that now its hebdomadal appearance is to
merge into two publications per week. How far this er;.
rangement may assist in preserving its usual quantity or
readers, I will not pretend to augur at this stage of the
effort ; but I do think that it must, finally, have the effect
of impairing its advertising influence. 13e that as it may,
I sincerely trust that the Conservative press of the fossil
will not relax in their efforts to serve the public faithfully
and, still more, that they will also keep a more watchful
eye over the " sayings and doings" of that mendacious
print than has of late been their wont. I speak not in-
vidiously ; yet it were no unfair procedure to ask the
ratepayers who have hitherto followed in the wake of their
mercurial pilot at every Easter vestry meeting, how they
mean to act next week ? Will they still place implicit
reliance upon their vestry leader, in opposing useful and
necessary rates, after witnessing his strenuous support of,
and condolement with, the parties who have so long
blinded and misled the Irish people, until they have be-
come a burden of extra rates to Liverpool, and a loud
sounding cry for charity to the whole nation ? Will they
still listen to petulent objections to this vestryman of
that, from political spleen ' • nay, against even those who.
foresaw the fallacies of all this sham political economy,
when an accumulation of rates is to be imposed upolr
them, to relieve those whom a certaip leader has, for
many years past, led to believe were right, and eyed
British ministry wrong ? I ask these questions plumply'
for the question at issue must be no longer misunderstooa.

It may be a very easy matter for the'lliere.ur. y to Conti'
nually rail at the Rev. H. I\l'lsTeile, and impugn his
righteous motives ; and quite easy for that print, which
has so often fulsomely lauded our gracious Queen and her
consort, to throw a blasphemous slur at the illustrious
pair, concerning the recent fast-day ; but most surely the
eyes of the public will be at last opened to all these in-
consistencies. Education may be prompted by Govern-

THE PRINCIPAL PORT OF TIE
UNITED KINGDOM.

From a return moved for by Mr. Cardwell and publislle6,,
on Wednesday, exhibiting the amount of tonnage, Britll
and foreign, inwards and outwards, at 12 of the prinelli
ports of the United Kingdom in each successive 31.',`"e .f°
since the general peace, up to the close of 1845, we der' P
a 9
the gratifying information that the port of Liverpool A,
at length reached the point of supremacy over all her
vals, not excepting the port of London itself. In Iv',o
the total tonnage of London, inwards and outwards, °L,,
1,247,873 tons, and in 1845 2,688,897 tons, showing aP
crease of 1,441,024 tons. In 1816, the tonnage of 1.0,
pool was 642,063 tons ; and in 1845, 2,819,014 tons, shOrt
ing an increase of 2,176,951 tons, the business of this P°o
having thus more than quadrupled itself, whilst thaer.
London has only a little more than doubled itself. 1,11
pool in 1845 was 130,117 tons above London; and 0%4,
suit of last year has probably improved our relative 1/-;s*,-
tion. The nett increase of Newcastle is 1,158,816
of Hull, 506,773 tons ; Southampton, 263,665 tons ; t!';01,
nock, 116,330 tons ; Glasgow, 197,451 tons ; 13116" .;
80,443 tons ; Leith 58,888 tons ; Dublin, 52,288 tonP
Belfast, 61,734 ton;! and Cork. 29.659 tons.

It will be as C4ll/1 /“./ -
portion of the total increase of tonnage has been an for

satisfactory to observe how very large a Pr,
example, out of the total increase in London and Lave t
