A SUPPLEMENT is !published along with this number o
THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ' • • •

Has Liverpool done its duty to the cause of constitu-
tional freedom Y Let our columns decide this question ?
It would be presumptuous in us to attempt to interfere,
by any distinct commentary of our own this day, with
the weighty 'adjudication which has been given against
the cabinet of destructionists, and its incongruous asso-
ciation,—that adjudication is tleyisi% e. Let the unmuti-
hated speech of each and every peer, commoner, gentle-
man, merchant, or tradesman, prointilgated
.before the
vast assembly of Tuesday evening, sink deep into the
heart of every,man who owns the name of Englishman.
Let it make its own way—create its own first impres-
sions—raise,its own impulses unalloyed, and without be-
ing in any way weakened in force and effect by'our fee-
ble pen. Let us not attempt to interrupt in its majestic
course the swelling wave of constitutional opinion, which
bears upon its expansive bosom, with irresistible power,
argument and conviction, patriotism and liberty, reason
and truth, honour and justice, united in one sacred bond
of indissoluble devotion and warm attachment to our
Protestant Church and State. Have we deceived our
friends by the representation we have given anticipatory
of this glorious marshalling of our conservative strength ?
Have not the independent men of 'this opulent borough
—this mart of c6minercial enterprise, capital, and inclus,
try, fully and sutp,iiently redeemed our pledge? Never
before has such a display been made in Liverpool, as this
first commemoration festival of our honourable associa-
tion .has presented. Here were the entire policy and
wickedness of the Melbourne whig cabidet, in its daring
course during the. last twelve months, arraigned before a
competent tribunal—suhditted to the consideration of a
jury of independent Englishmen, which jury has pa-
tiently gone into the whole merits of the case, dispas:
sionately—publicly,—and what is the verdict ?—a verdict
of positive denunciation—a finding presented to the
supreme court of the British nation, by their constitu-
tional foreman—an unanimous verdict of guilty of moral
incompetency—of political dishonesty, against those who
have presumed to act the part of counsellors to a Pro-
testant King in that which pertains to his highest trust—
'the security and permanency of an established‘christian
church in this united kingdom! Are our enemies satis-
fied, or do they want any further demonstration ?
This first triumph of the constitutional cause,in Liver-
pool, is but the prelude to that solemn judgment which
the English nation in its great strength is preparing to
pronounce on our administration, which, more than any
other in the history of this great empire, has su'lied its
honour and paralysed its securities at home, and bartered
with its independence abroad. The exposition of the

whole machinery' of complicated imbecility and wicked
perversjon of every principle of, safe, of sound, of ra-
tional government, has been complete. We have a full
justification for all the severe truths and admonitory
warnings, we have humbly, yet honestly, from time to
time and recently put before our readers; and we may
dare the accusation of party partiality and injustice,
whilst labouring as humble auxiliaries in support of a
cause where so much is at stake against the unprincipled
assailants of constituted freedom, and whether in the se-
nate, the ranks of an hireling agitator, or our anti-pro-
testant revolutionary Town Council. With all or •any of
such parties—such elements of evil—compromise was out
of the question,—by standing aloof we have sustained
our own honour, and we hope tendered some service to
our fondlycherished country in her hour of trial, and of
danger.' That such freely selected course has met the
approbation, of those whose good opinion we cherish, Is
evidenced by the daily indiea.,ing patronage We eXperi-
ence, in spite of all the liberal efforts made to'neutralise
or smother our arguments and opinions. •
That we should in any way have been instrumental to
the formation of so valuable A reunion in this opulent
town as that presented for our contemplation on Tuesday
last, is to
•us a source of the highest satisfaction
which
can
possibly be offered to public journalists, and
we desire no other reward personally than that which
results from the conviction of ha% ing done our duty fear-
lessly and independently, awaiting, as we have, the im-
partial decision of public opiniOn. •The reunion to which
we allude is rendered doubly valuable in its objects, as it
cannot fail to be important in its moral consequences,
because it has given scope to the free and unfettered ex-
pression of the sentiments of a class of English freemen
on the conduct of those who have arrogated to them-
selves' the right of controlling the public mind which
cannot fairly be suspected of entertaining any sinister
views with regard to personal interests in the govern-
ment of this country, and the judgment ofm,hich is alone
swayed by that calm consideration which the relative
position of its Meni‘bers, independent by their own in•
dustry, is enabled to give to matters of weighty political
Moment affecting the whole community. At this dinner
we had neither present the parliaMentary nominees of
any lord interested in upholding the government of the
day, nor the minion tenants dependent tipon his per-
sonal favour for 'their leases, the elevation or the reduc-
tion of their rents; it was no packed display of numbers,
no solemn county-farce exhibition ; but the freely sought
muster of a body of intelligent tradesmen—an assem-
blage of voluntary principle for a national and constitu-
tional purpose. The unanimous decision given by such
an Assembly, and its approbation of the sentiments so
intelligently put before it by the various patriotlie speak-
ers, after listening with marked attention' to the exposi
tion they have given, is invaluable, whilst it cannot fai-
of putting to the blush the vanity and presumption of the

'

O'Connellite Molbourne cabinet despite of its past indif-

~erence to the opinion of th(_. intelligent English corn-
alimity. At the same 'time' we look forward to a still
more thrilling t ffect on the public Rind generally from
the reading of the speeches in print, which -we have.
given as copiously as possible that no part of the general
argument embodied should be lost upon our fellow-
countrymen,
The grand object for our consideration is the warm
expression' of opinion in favour of, and of sympathy with,
our justly venerated national church. This has been .at
once complete and triumphant;; it has been sufficient to
tell the "radical unitarian faCtion of the town council
what is the view taken by the reflecting portion of their
fellow-townsmen of •the conduct of those men who, dur-
ing the last year of their reign, following the example bf
their patrons in the government, have tried to inflict their
" heavy blows" by side winds and hypocritical measures,
their attempts to destroy an effective protestant instruc-
tion, that they may wallow with greater freedom in the
hoped-for career of their own licentiousness. The ho-
nour and christian credit,---the morals of Liverpool have
been redeemed from their grasping fangs, and our con-
stitutional gathering has decreed for our church and for
our state, bound up with that church in a pare and insepa-
rable alliance; and it. has powerfully shown the convic-
tion still entertained by sensible minds, that the fact
the church being an Established, church, is, next to the
purity of. its doctrine and its liberality, with which its
independence are intimately connected, the most, power-
ful recommendation' to the veneration and affection of the
people. Mr. Chancellor of the. Exchequer, Spring Rice,
should have attended our dinner ere he held forth under
his aerial harangiie about reforming that church, at the
recent Limerick display. He would indeed have. found;
that " it presented a difficult and complex questiOn" to
legislate upon,. against the judgment of intelligent 'Eng
lisp Protestants, identified in heart and feeling-4n reci-
procity of sentiment and attachment to the permansion
and interests of the Irish branch of the establishment.

As for the declared " affection" of the Right Hon. the.
Chancellor for the Protestant Church, and his being
" desirous to do full justice to both creeds, which should
not be done to Protestant disachthntage," such twaddle
is entirely compatible with the blrney of his associates-7-
their base insincerity, with regard to their Irish legisla-
tion in toto, that it could only be received with endurapce
by an expectant half-popish and half-radical assembly—
as any Other such hypocritical cant would be fairly scouted,
and its promulgator held tip to the contempt merited.
We leave Mr. Spring Rice and his Limerick friends to
ponder our English opinion upon this "difficult and com-
plex question ;" but only rendered so by the dishonoura-

. ,
ble policy of the ministers, and their desire to retain office
by the sacrifice of every just principle of dealing and of
practkable conservation. The Chnrch of Ireland has
been the rock on which more than one administration has
shipwrecked its policy, and the present ministry, by its
attempted, its flagrant injustice, has inevitably sealed its
own doom with all those who . feel conscientiously bound
to maintain that church.

We niay triumphantly appeal to the judgment of Pro:
testant Liverpool against Roman Catholic Limerick, and
"upon the principle," (in Mr. Rice's words,) " of the go-
vernment plan of church- reform," on which he so con-
fidently " looked for their applause—their approval,"
addressing his popish supporters ; and, as." this was the.
doctrine Of ticose with whom he_was*connected, and the
doctrine (appropriation) to which he was determined to
adhere," we join issue with Mr. Spring Rice and-his
worthy associates, and will inflexibly try how far, in the
next session of parliament, they shall "meet with the
sincere and undeviating support of the House of Com-
mons," in opposition to the conservative strength of the
British empire. Upon this grand question rest the en-
tire hopes of the ministry, with regard to its retention of
office—and upon this question depends, as that excellent
patriot soldier, Sir James Dalbiac, has just said at Ripon,
the Protestant ascendancy" of the British constitution.
All other questions are as feathers in the balance ; fur
the municipal reform..is but the stepping stone to the de-
struction of that ascendancy.

As for putting the Protestant Church of ['viand on an
equality of footing" With the Roman Catholic, accord-
ing to this dictum of Mr. Rice, it is altogether the most
ignorantly presuming idea that ever entered into the
erratic brain of :any man who could, at the same instant,
profess his attachment to a creed its very•opposite. Like
our Liverpool liberals—our " free traders" in religion,
Mr. Rice would reduce the Irish Church of the Protestant
Establishment to the voluntary standard of support. We
have heard a vast deal of nonsense about the hardship of
being compelled to pay for the support of a stite religion
of. which,they are not members—of the great injustice of
their being compelled to pay. the ministers and needful
teachers of a religion to which they are opposed,_when
such ought only,to be a matter resting between their own
consciences and their God ! How well have all-these
fallacies-of argument upon abstract principle been shown
up-refuted—exposed at our independent festival. What
say you my lords, the Russell whigs, and our Irish papal
clique ? What, (in bar phrase;) have you gained by the
motion superficial of your redoubtable Chancellor of the
Exchequer ?

We will answer for the " affectionate," the "heavy
blow" friends—the false supporters of Protestantism in

Ireland, backed as we are by the support of oureonserva-
tive member, and those upright statesmen who followed
him. Those who make these complaints against the
Protestant 'clergy—complaints to which every indepen-
dently pi ovided for priesthood must necessarily be sub-
jected, by the infidel and the schismatic, have not the
honesty to tell us, that a priesthood left dependent upon
the capricious bounty of its followers must, in spite Of
individual liberality, be composed of mean, badly edu-
cated, pliable, time- serving characters—petty intriguers=
family spies—mercenary-minded men—aspiring for indi
vidual superiority and influence—dependents upon poli-
tical caprice and favour, and, generally, if acting without
a principle of honourable concert amongst themselves,
proportionably hostile to the best interests of society,.
and to the welfare of our roligicin 1. Let any country in
the world, however well informed, be exposed to the pes-:
tilentiat influences of such a demoralised necessitous
priesthooll for one or two generations, and see what the
consequences would be. Let Englandherself, at another
period of
,her history, be compared with England in her
present position, after one hundred and fifty yeari pos-
session of her establishment and her provisioned clergy,
and answer if the interests of true religion, and sound
morality in the state, are not placed upon the best, in
fact; the only rational foundation.

We say then, that the Ministers stand irretrievably,
condemned by the judgment of an impartial tribunal of
,Englishmen, as the faithless guardians of the consti-
tution—the false conservators of the interests of the
Irish Protestant Church—they are, in fact, under the
mask of friendship, performing the part of sedition
preachers against that church, before a bigoted, hos-
tile, and partial population, Is it possible that the re-
flecting portion of -the English people of any creed, or
those only morally disposed, should longer show them
countenance ?

It shotild never be lost sight of that the 'former associ-
ates of the party uow in power, as Whigs, first mooted
the question of Catholic emancipation—it was the Whig
party wlkich first prescribed the fatal blow to Protes-
tant ascendancy in Ireland; and we now 'conceive, that
the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel conceded
the passing of that measure, under a conviction that had
the. Whigs then the power of takings office, they, would.
for the sake of its retention, enter upon the same
category of dangerous expediencies with_ a possibly dif-
ferent object, as the present desperate band of semi-
radical and pro-popish adventurers. Ever since -the
pas Sing of that measure of emancipation, the reckless
section of the Whigs, composing the present cabinet,
have, by open and by ,covert 'means, been. engaged in
propelling the machinery of destruction against the Pro.
testant church and its ministers, under the most artful
simulation, making themselves the ready panderers to
every priestly-begotten, falsehood against that church,
knowing it to be the only effectual barrier against their
mercenary ambition. We unhesitatingly assert, from
our own personal observation and intimate knOwledge of

heir workings in the sister kingdom, that the progress
to active rebellion in that country, is more the work of
their hands than even of the great 'Agitator himself;
and as that rebellion appears to us to be inevitable, they
will be responsible to God and this Christian country
for all the blood that may be shed, and all the property
that may be sacrificed. This brings us to our Tuesday's
proposition, namely, that every effort should now be
tried even With the existing House of Commons rather
than suffer the continued submission to the Melbourne
cabinet, and a very little addition of conservative sup-
port sent into that house, would compel its retirement.
It may be said, that we are acting the part of incon-
sistency by proposing the return of Sir Robert Peel's
party to office, whilst we, as protestants, have condemned
the nieisure of Catholic emancipation. Our answer is,
that we did not expect the Irish Roman Catholic mem-
bers would have been guilty of the moral turpitude of
forming a hostileleague against the Protestant Church,
in breach of their oaths ; but since that is the case, we
even deem it prudent to seek the return to office of those
ministers who carried emancipation. We would, on
principle, as followers of Pitt, support them against the
first ,projectors of that un-English crusaderiunder which
they became the compulsory, agents of a compromise of
Protestant principle, fatal to, the constitutional repose of
tbe.stiie. These are "the sentiments expressed by, the
assembled hundreds of our Liverpool friends on Tuesday
evening. They are now 'prepared to stand by the men,
who, desiring to avert a civil war in Ireland, afterwards
pledged themselves to a rational reform principle for the
united:lingdom, against the O'Connell spell-bound inca-
pables, who, for the sake of retaining place, are hourly,
by their indefensible pot*, encouraging civil war, and
preparing
.for proscription that gem in the constitution
the surrender of one portion of which they impudently
hold up as a bar perpetual on the score of consistency,
against Sir Robert Peel. We have before said,,that the
opposition to Sir Robert Peel has been of incalculable
service, opening the eyes of the country to the true cha-
racter of Modern whiggery. The conservatives of Li-
verpool it is evident are satisfied with themselveS in the
course they have taken hi this arduous struggle—they
ha've resolved to stand above the suspicion of compromise
with the Melbourne whigs, and to " defend the right"—
to stand or fall with the united Protestant Church;' and
their Protest is now not only before the-nation of Eng-
Ushrnen, but before the WORLD 1

We are too n-mch interested in the progress of
domestic events, which .are of so much moment to the
English people at home, to enter at any length to•day
on the subject of our foreign relations, or to comment
fully upon the variety of news from France, Switzerland,
Spain, and Portugal, which has been received since our
last. The moat interesting; from the French papers, in-
forms us, that in a semi-official note, of M. M. Mole and
Guizot, published in La Cliarte, they declare that, al-
though they are 'resolved to execute the quadruple
treaty, they will, on no account, admit the principle of
our armed intervention in the affairs of Spain ; and, fur-
ther, they state they would not have taken upon them
the government had the treaty, in strictness, imposed on
1 France the conditions of our aimed assistance.

This is of importance, as it sets at rest the various
speculations on the subject. Thus, non-intervention by
France paralyses the treaty, and renders it comparatively
a dead letter. And now let us ask, what has England
gained by that treaty ? • Has she not been a party thereby
to a compact, from the moral responsibility of which even
Lord Palmerston now shrinks ? This treaty has been
worse than useless, compromising to 'the personal ho-
nour and dignity of a British monarch, and discreditable
to the English character. We care not whom we may
offend by this declaration.. His Maje Sty is not,-in any
way responsible for the consequences, but his ministers
are. The treaty has been both expensive and fruitless,;
and what is more, it has led to a loss of human life—of
English life--,by famine, by typhus fever, and by the
sword, without a vestige of, honour to our arms, or a
shadow of benefit to Spain.! It has served the cause of
revolution there at the price of English credit.; whilst
,the 'stock-jobbing Jew financier is unable to d&more than
;proclaim the insolvency of the government, of . which he
is the momentary, as well as the monetary dictator, by a
circular, that the November dividenil cannot be paid
The-Madrid intelligence,, respecting the progress of
Gomez, is altogether so truly contradictory, that it safis-
fies•us the government are in ignorance of his move-
ments, or that they were too formidable for publication.
Alaix is stated to have reached Torrecampo, Mangibar
in his pursuit. There is little French news of interest,
beyond the belief, that the dispute with Switzerland was

in train for amicable adjustment.
• Our excellent contemporary of the Morning Post has
published some stringent remarks upon the proceedings
of our admiral and minister at Lisbon, in consequence of
the former having placed his ship, the Talavera, in a po-
sition to batter the customhouse and city, and thus to
overawe the existing government ! We confess we are
at a loss to account even for this freak of Palrnerstonian
policy., Why one revolutionary government is to be
encouraged in Spain, and another menaced in Portugal,
both being, to all intents and purposes, founded on the
same principle, and brought into playby the same means,
is to us inexplicable.
From the north of Spain we learn the discomfiture of
the Carlist chief, Maroto, and the death of a Catalonian
nobleman, who fell fighting with his son. The chiefs of
Maroto's corps had dispersed amongst the mountains,
and Maroto himself had taken refUge iri 'the French ter-
ritory. Don Carlos continued at Durango on the 12th
instant; he had just completed a tour, throughout the
whole route of which he had been received by. the inha-
bitants—in fact, the entire population of 'men; women,
and children, with songs of triumph,and every other de-
monstration of affectionate devotion to his person and
cause. The romantic career of this prince is one of the
choicest subjects of modern history. Don Carlos will
" point the moral, and adorn the tale," in posterity's
literary page !

Mr. Henry Lytton BulWer, M.P., and Pamphleteer
Extraordinary to the Whig Liberal Cabinet, has got into
the political, vital' tub, with his constituents, through his
vote on the pension list, against the motion of Mr. Da-
niel Whittle Harvey ; and one of those 'constituents, in
a wrangling argumentative letter, published in last Fri-
day's TimeS, has called upon-the honourable, member in
very plain terms, and upon the point of honour, to " re
tire." This the Times correspondent confidently consi-
ders Mr. Henry Lytton Bulwer is hound to do, upon his
pledge, real and • implied, when he presented himself a
candidate for the sittfrages of the " independent reform-
ers" of Marylebone in general, and to the elite society of
" new religionists," meeting at the forum of Mr. Savage,
the " Circus" tavern keeper. We are no friends whit-
ever to the system of pledge-making, considering as we
do, that nothing is so derogatory to the dignity of a mem-
ber of parliament, as to bind himself by specific pledges.
The man who subMits to such a course shows that he nei-
ther knows his duty to his King, hiS constituents, or him-
self, by such submission. We are of Burke's school in
this feeling; and have ever remembered his noble reply
to the electors of Bristol in 1789, when some parties
amongst them sought a pledge at his hands. Be this as
it may, if a man for the sake of a seat in parliament can
so demean his station as to bind himself to certain votes
on certain specific subjects--7to bind himself to an unqua-
lified opposition to any one object or question, as the price
of his seat (and not on general questions of important
state policy) and appeal to, or call upon the name of the.
Almighty in affirmation of his pledge—as for example
that lie " will, God willing, oppoSe the pension
we say unequivocally, that if he votes against such
pledge, and in the teeth of such promise, and affirma-
tion, according to the distinct codes of honour and of
ethics, he forfeits his seat. Mr. Bulwer, it appears, has
essayed a " defence" of his vote to the deputation that-
waited upOn him for an explanation; but this defence has
led to no other result than the scathing letter of " one of
his constituents." The eyes of the thorough-going re-
formers of Marylebone are now open to the independent
whiggery of Mr. BulWer's politics; and they can disco-
ver the congenial sympathy of,feeling which a newly ap•
pointed liberal wing sinecurist may entertain for the pen-

Ovr. 21 1836,

Sion list; but it appears to them inexplicable, that he
should so independently attempt to retain his seal, which
is their property in trust, seeing that he has snipped his
fingers at their bargain, and made a most reverential
boti to Messrs. Russell and Company, on being presented
with their 'diplomatic clerkship ! This comes of your
" popular" candidates—your " friends to liberty"—your
" foes to corruption.". Mr. Bulwer. has placed himself in
a truly awkward position to act the part of arbiter be-
tween the whigs and radicals ; and he would do well to
select some sturdy tory umpire to assist him in the storm,
which his penchant for fine French metaphor, and rileto7
rical flourishes, regarding the beauties of Utopian libe
l ralism, has brought about his ears. The author of
" France, Social, Literary, and Political," would do well
to study Voltaire's couplet—

DtsasTEß.—The English schooner Rising Sun, Sponangle,
from Liverpool, N.S. for Boston, was upset by a squall on the
12th September, and two men drowned. She was afterwards
fallen in with by a vessel from Bucksport, and towed into that

THE CONSERVATIVE GRAND MARCH. DEDICATED TO LORD
SANDON. BY JAMES MAY.—A soul-stirring and animated
march, which will not rail to inspire courage and- cheer the
conservatives on. to victory. It is well arranged, and reflects

great credit on the composer.
•
EMBEZZI,LNIFINT.—On Monday evening last, George Plum-
mer, a shoptnan in the employ of M r. Wright, of the tea com-
pany in Bold-street, absconded with about £l5O which he had
been entrusted with settle en account, and has not since been
heard of. It is supposed that he has gone to New Orleans.

Wednesday, in the Court-room, Chapel-street, Thus. Tobin, Esq.

SANDBACLI BAZAAR.—The proceeds of the Bazaar amounted
to £368. The oving ladies presided at the stallfy.—The
Misses Ford, the Misses Twewlow, the Misses Matthlas; the
Misses Pownal, Mrs. Armistead, Mo. John.. Lathan), Mrs.
Fooley, (refreshment stall,) Mrs. Williams; and Mts. Ingham.
Her Majesty, not being able to send work, contributed £2U.

MADAGASC COTTON.—A sample of cotton from the island
of Madagascar was exhibited on 'Change on Monday, being
the first ever received from that part of the world. We under-,
stand that the quality is good, though not very fine—quite equal
to the qualities of Bowed cottons. A quantity of cotton 'front
Madagascar, of which that exhibited was a specimen, is on its
way to this_ country. .
THE HORSE, THE DOG, AND THE COVV.—We would direct
the attention of our agricultural friends to this most useful coo-
pound of all that is necessary to be known in keeping these
three valuable animals in good condition. A seventh edition
of Small's Tablet having made its appearance, affords us ano-
ther opportunity of saying it is an almost indispensable work to
all who are intrusted with the care of either "the horse, the dog,

or thecow."—See advertisement.
PaitriNGs.-The lover of the fine arts will be gratified with
a sight of some very exquisite paintings now exhibiting for sale
at No. '2O, Clayton-square. Amongst them are two extraordinary
production by John Van Dycke who was, it may be remembered
the inventor of oil painting; they are in a state of excellent
preservation, although it is more than 400 years ago since they
were executed ; indeed the ' colours have all the freshness of •
having been but just laid on. There is in the collection a re-
markable
picture by Lutherbourg, well worthy of attention, •
We sliOnld much like to be informed, if the gentlemen com-
missioners of -stamps and taxes, acting the part of " superficial
inch" subordinates, have issued their late decree against the
publication Of a second edition of our papers, for the purpose Of
supplying the market intelligence of prices, (which is strictly neics, .
as much as the report of the funds,) have acted under the au-
thority of their superior, now at' Limerick ; and whether the
right hon. gentleman considers, that the agricultural and:trad- ,
ing interests of distant places will be pleased with or benefited
by this unlocked for tax upon knowledge, useful and even ne-
cessary to the community at large ?
LINE OF PACKETS TO LlVERPOOL.—According to the Daily
Advertiser, a new line of packet ships is about to be established
between this and Liverpool. The ships are to sail from Liver- ,
pool on the 12th, and from New York on the 30th. There are
to be four ships, bearing the classic names of Gairick, Shaks-
lieare, Siddons, and Sheridan, and are each to be 800 tons bur-
then. This will make twenty-four ships between this port and
Liverpool, which united will exceed 17,000 tons. So much for
onebranch of the commercial' enterprise between this and Li-
verpool. There are now five regular lines of packet ships, and
all, we believe, well patronised.—New York paper, Sept. 20.
VESSELS LAUNCHED WHOLESALE.—A novel and interesting
spectacle was witnessed on Saturday last,- by the launching of
six vessels, of 75 tons burthen each, from the building yaid of
Messrs. Robert Russell and Sous, at Woodside. They are in-
tended for the Liverpool and Manchester Timber Carrying
Company, and are allowed to be the best models for inland na-
vigation yet built. As they glided into their future element,.
they were respectively and appropriately named the Birch, Beech,
Elm, Pine, Cedar, and Maple. Two others, we understand, will
be launched for the same proprietors at the next springs, to be
called the Oak and Ash. The circumstance of six vessels bein-g-,
,launched together from one yard in one day, ought to be re-'
;corded in the annals of Liverpool.
PPRENOLOGY.—So many works are produced upon this sub-
ject, that it is not to be wondered at if all do not become
" popular"—but there is one advertised in our columns of to-
day, which has such strong recommendations, that we would be
surprised if it did not attain to this. It is said, by the spei.tator,
" next to Combre's, to be the best introductory work on the
sublect." The Glasgow Argus says, "it forms the indst.com-
plete guide to Phrenology, within a moderate compass." The
Kilmarnock Journal adds, that it gives " the philosophy of the
science—its application to the every-day affairs of men, to edit-
cation, legislation, insanity, and the adoption of particular con-
figurations of head to certain situations in life, and peculiar
trades and professions." The Aberdeen Herald says, the author
" has simplified Phrenology very materially ;" while the -Liver-
pool Albion asserts, that it " cannot fail to prove of greaLutility
to students in the science." Under such circumstances, Ice
should not be surprised altheugh it even surpassed the celebrated
'.' Catechism" produced by the same publisher, of which he has
now sold above TEN THOUSAND copies' ' • -
CONSERVATIVE RELACTION.—If you desire to test the strength
of a man's feelings on any given subject, enquire whether he
goes the length of spending his money upon it. If he does, theta
can be "no mistake" as to the extent and activity of the princi-
ple which actuates him. To apply this test to the growing pre-
valence of Conservative principles in Lancashire, we have.only
to advert to the extraordinary encouragement which has re-
cently been shewn there to Mr. Ryall's new and splendid work,..
of art, entitled "Portraits of Eminent Conservative Statesmen.
The. professional merits of that work, great, and even unequalled
as they are in the peculiar department in which they are exer-
cised, would never have secured to it that extroordinarysuccess
which it has already achieved, had it not been for the daily en-
creasing spread of "those noble and truly English principles, in
honour and in furtherance of which it has been undertaken and
carried into effect, and to which it is entitled to look for its
future progress and ultimate completion. As a signal proof of
the spirit in which his success is reeeived by the distinguished
artist who is the originator and proprietor of this work, we have
to state that he has determined on presenting to the South Lan-
cashire Conservative Association, to. be hung up in. their Hall
at Newton, a splendid full-length portrait, in oil, of the excellent
and talented Conservative Member for Liverpool, Lord Sandon,
and also one of that truly patriotic nobleinan, Lord Wilton.
FORGERY.—George Jackson was last week brought before
Mr. Hall, charged under the following circumstances :—Edwd'
Thompson, a copperplate-printer., residing in Litchfield-court,
but who has his shop at No. IS, Goree-piazzas, stated, that a
fortnight ago the prisoner, George Jackson, who was a stranger
to him, came to his workshop, and, saying that he bad some
printing to do, asked where he _could get the loan of a press.
Witness recommended him to a person named Edwards, in
Moorfields. The prisoner then said his name was James John-
son, but he did not say where he resided. On the following do,
he again called, and asked witness if he had any objection in
work overtime for him. The latter replied, that of course he
should have no objection if he were paid.. The prisoner said he
would pay him handsomely„and would bring the plates on the
following day, but without mentioning what they were. On-the
next morning he called, and took from his pocket a piece of pa-
per, on which witness read, as nearly as he could recollect, the
following agreement :—" I, Edwd. Thompson, do hereby pro-
mise to work for 'Jas. Johnson, and not to divulge the nature 0'
the work to any man living." Prisoner asked him to sign tlail
paper, uhich he did. The prisoner then took out a. bible, an
