WEDNESDAY

The cases that came before the court on Wednesday dif-
fered in no respect from those of the preceding days. The
principle with respect to the payment of rates by the Pro-
tector Society was rigidly adhered to, and the consequence
was, that scores of protectors Were struck off the list. The
number of objections amounted in the aggregate to about
four thousand, but the list was subsequently reduced to about
three thousand by agreement on both sides.

of greater purport and more sweeping effect, It has
been the giant struggle of the " mother of abomina-
tions" to disturb the waters, and to go forth and depo-
sit her filthy spawn throughout the length and breadth
of this once loyal and Protestant land.
The effort, however, we trust, has been made in
vain—in Liverpool at least we know that it has. The
spirit-stirring demonstration of Protestant zeal and
activity, recorded in our pages to-day, are guarantees
that in the good old town there is still sufficient strength
to bruise the head of the serpent, and to trample into
the earth the slimy form which has been reared, in
malignant hostility, against the venerable institutions
of our forefathers. The loyal men of Liverpool have
rallied nobly to the trumpet call of the lion-hearted de-
fenders of their Protestant faith; they have planted
yesterday a standard around which their sons and their
sons' sons may gather through all future time. They
have opened a fountain from which to pour forth
throughout the land the pure clear waters of scriptural
education and truth ; and in their name, and in their
behalf, we call upon our loyal and Protestant fellow-
countrymen to support their efforts and to imitate their

example

Let it be borne in mind that we live not now in ordi-
nary times ; we have not now to fight in an ordinary
cause. We have not now to struggle for mere party
objects ; we are not attacked with mere party weapons.
We have combined "against us the united forces of
Popery, of Socinianism, and of infidelity, and we hold
in our keeping the purity and the entireness of our
Protestant constitution and our Protestant church. A
breach—a wide and irreparable breach—has been
made in the bulwarks of that constitution ; and its
enemies—a legion—are howling for the onset. In
that breach we have taken up our position ; and woe
be unto us if we fail in beating back the advancing
forces of the enemy I. The dark waters of Popery are
surging at our feet, sapping the foundations of our

citadel, and threatening to overwhelm and crush us in

ock of

Protestant Truth, and, by the blessing of God, wt

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCTOBER 20.
(From Me Circular of Messrs. James Scott 13- Sons.)
Since Tuesday last the imports from Ireland, Coastways and from
foreign ports, increased by arrivals within the last three days, have
been pretty considerable ; the Wheat and Flour from foreign ports
of course go into bond ; and throughout the past week here, and at
Manchester on Saturday, we have experienced a very languid de-
mand for Wheat and Oats, Flour and Oatmeal., at a decline of 2d to
3d per respective bushel on the two former, and of Is to is 6d per
respective sack or barrel on the two latter articles. Malt, grinding
Barley, Beans and Indian Corn, were also a little lower. The
weather has been since the commencement of this month very
favourable for the completion of the northern harvest.
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has again increased since
last Friday to 21s 8d per qr. and on Flour to 130 Oid per barrel, also
Is 6d per qr. more on Oats and Rye, and is more on Beans; on
other grain no alteration ;—some trivial sales of Flour in bond
have been made at 26s to 27s per barrel, for immediate export.
The demand at this day's market was better than on Friday, and
sales of every article in the trade were effected to a moderate ex-
tent, and a small improvement on the decline above•nrentioned.

MEETING OF THE DOCK COMMITTEE.

The weekly meeting of the members of the committee took
place yesterday at the committee room, Revenue-buildings ;
Mr. Leathom occupied the chair.
The proceedings of the last meeting were read by the Se-
cretary, and a list of accounts for payment was read and
agreed to.

A report of the sub-committee relative to Queen's graving
dock, No. 2, referring to the charges against Mr. Hartley,
recommending that (in accordance with Mr. Chapman's sug-
gestion), the upper walls should be taken down, and thrown
back as far as the present steps, was then read.
It was enquired how much narrower the quay would be
made by the alteration recommended.
The CHAIRMAN said—five feet on each quay. There
would be about 25 feet of quay room left. The trade, he be-
lieved, would rather be deprived of the quay room, than have
the upper walls of the dock in their present form.
After a short conversation the report was adopted.
DOCK SHEDS.
_

The Secretary read a recommendation that the new dock
sheds should be covered with slates in preference to zinc.
They had carefully considered the comparative advantages of
each.

The CHAIRMAN said they had arrived at the conclusion that
slates_ were the cheapest and most durable.
A member enquired whether slates could be secured from
being blown off in gales of wind ; and the reply was in the
affirmative.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

In our description of St. Saviour's, in the last STANDARD,
we were incorrect in naming Mr. Crawford the senior
minister of the church : Mr. Stokes and he are on a per-
fect equality in every respect.
Enough has been already said on the subject to which " An
Impartial Observer" alludes.
" The Parting" has been received.
We have received a letter from the Rev. John Clark, of
Hunslet, which contains some severe and, in our opinion,
uncalled-for animadversions upon the letter of the Rev. C.
W. Lawrence, in defence of the Pastoral Aid Society. We
have already announced our intention to exclude all fur-
ther communications on the subject, excepting those of an
official character. This alone would have caused us to
abstain from inserting Mr. Clark's letter, even were the
contents of that letter less objectionable than they are ;
but we have a stronger reason for adopting our present
course, when we reflect upon the strange use which Mr.
Clark has made of the name of the Rev. Charles Simeon—
one of the brightest ornaments of which the Church of
England could ever boast. Mr. Clark has insulted the
memory of that great and good man by the frequent use of
the words " Simeonitish Heresy" in his letter. Such
language, from a clergyman of the Church of England,
must strike " nine out of ten of the church-going people
of Liverpool" as exceedingly strange. It would have been
almost as proper to associate the term " heresy" with the
name of St. Paul as with that of the venerable Simeon.
