INVITATION TO DANIEL O'CONNELL.

In the STANDARD of Friday last, we gave an account of the
proceedings of another " private meeting for a public purpose,"
convened by " circular," and held on the preceding Wednesday,
at the Clarendon Rooms, from which those mischief-making
rogues, the reporters were intended to be, and were, indeed,
virtually excluded.
Although no notes were supposed to be taken, we know that
the report supplied us was substantially correct, except in one
instance, the substitution of the name of Mr. Joseph Brooke
Yates fur that of Mr. Richard Vaughan Yates, an error, how-
ever, that was discovered and corrected in a large part of our
publication of that (lay.
Presuming that the proceedings would really be what they
were intended to be, " secret," the correspondent of the Morn-
ing Chronicle dispatched his version of the proceedings on Wed-
nesday evening, n hich we extract from that paper of Friday
morning, as a curious instance of the fidelity with which mat-
ters of this kind are reported by the radicals to their favourite
organs

" Liverpool, January 13.—This day, a highly respectable
meeting of the leading reformers of Liverpool was held at the
Clarendon-rooms, fur the purpose of sending au invitation to
Mr. O'Connell to dine here on his way to town. About one
hundred and thirty of the most influential and spirited reformers
were in attendance, including nearly a score of the members of
the new town council. The proceedings were inset unanimous.
Every one present was impressed with the conviction that the
unbought and honourable support tendered by Mr. O'Connell
to the present government was creditable to both parties, and en-
titled that gifted and much abused " individual" to the highest
compliment which the reformers of Liverpool could bestow.
Mr. Wm. Rathbone, one of the most popular and deservedly
respected men in Liverpool, was in the chair, and was deputed
by the meeting tu communicate with Mr. O'Connell by this
night's post."
Bravo ! We will wager a rump and citizen to a pint of small
beer, although we are no great admirers of that beverage, that
we could name the " individual" shop boy, aye, and the very
shop too, where he serves out literary trash from behind a
counter, who penned this most impudent and lying puff—this
most audacious falsification of what really took place, which the
Morning Chronicle seized upon with avidity, and the Globe and
Courier republished, as a sureliproof that the reformers of Liver-
pool are unanimous in the support of O'Connell and Melbourne
as " one and indivisible."

The paragraph was, nn doubt, written in utter ignorance that
the LIVERPOOL STANDA at, of Friday would contain an account
of what really did take place, and shows the degree of confidence
that may be placed upon a radical report of a radical meeting.
There can be but little doubt that the master's of the ministerial
morning paper hailed the appearance of the O'Connell move-
ment here, with great delight. Alas, alas! how woefully they
have been deceived as to the unanimity, the numbers, and the
respectability of the meeting !

APPOINTMENT OF SCAVENGERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST.I.A.D4RD.

Stn,—The disgraceful state of the Liverpool streets was
never inure apparent than at the present moment.
As the town is now divided into sixteen wards, and an
tilderman appointed to each, I would suggest, as the worthy
aldermen appear to have no duties whatever defined for them,
though it is a very dirty job, whether it would not be a suitable
one for them to superintend the cleansing of their respective
wards.

-----
Perhaps the twenty-four J. P.'s who are complaining they
will have nothing to do, will assist them.
I am at present, Sir,

THE CL in.—lt maybe remembered that some time ago we
mentioned that the brig Clio, from this port to Para, had been
boarded by the Indians, who took her cargo out of her, scuttled
the vessel, and massacred her crew, with the exception of the
second mate and two sailors. It was stated at the same time,
that Sir r, verard Home had gone in the Racehorse to investigate
the affair. By accounts received yesterday from Para, per
Rival, from Maranham, we learn that Sir Everard had suc-
ceeded in ~>•ettiiig the second mate on board the Racehorse.
The two men, he found, had been drowned in making an at-
tempt to cross the river. As the Racehorse was on her way
down the river to Maranham, she fell in with the expedition
from Pernambuco, consisting of five vessels with 700 men on
board; she returned with them to Para. It is affirmed that the
Indians are divided into two parties, and that the small pox had
been committing dreadful ravages amongst them. This, toge-
ther with their trequnit dissensions, would cause tham to fall an
easy prey.
