GOD SAVE THE QUEEN !"

Profoundly thankful are we of the STANDARD that
our name is not found in this black list of accessories
to murder and treason ! We have never denied to her
Majesty the title of Christian, although we may have
wished to see Christianity more in favour at the palace
—to see Christianity more in favour and socialism less
in favour with her government. We have never as-
serted that her Majesty has forfeited her right to the
throne, although we have never shut our eyes to the
fact that " the heavy blows and great discouragements"
which her ministers profess their readiness to. deal
against those principles which alone seated her illus-
trious ancestors upon the throne, might be pushed so
far as to jeopardise that right. We have never " all
but denounced her as a prostitute," or, to use the cor-
rect"
language of our contemporary, quoted Jezebel."
Where may that author be found, good Mercury ? We
have done none of these things—perpetrated none of
these " fierce ravings"—and are as innocent of any
participation as accessories to the attempt upon the life
of a sovereign, " so denounced," as is our contempo-
rary himself.
But, seriously, does this besotted scribe imagine
that even the muddy souls who, in beer-houses, in
shaving-shops, or in taps, muse over his weekly ollapod
of stale calumnies and threadbare jokes, can be im-
posed upon with such trash. as we have just quoted ?
Does our contemporary suppose that men can readily
be found in England who will be content to swallow
such a tissue of gross absurdities ? If he does this we
can only pity his hallucination. The great body of the
people of England see in this disgraceful outrage an
impressive condemnation of a base and venal set of
men, who, to preserve for a few more weeks or days the
pay without the power of official station, are ready to
peril their country's noblest institutions, to weaken the
safeguards of the monarchy, and even to expose to the
murderer's weapon the sacred person of the Sovereign.
The great conservative body throughout the empire
revere the person of their monarch, and view with
loathing and disgust the unprincipled conduct of a
despicable faction which is ever ready to interpose that
object of regard as a shield over their own measureless
transgressions.
Her Majesty individually possesses in a great degree
the affections of her people, and peculiarly of the Con-
servative party. That party—if we may quote the
impressive words of Sir Robert Peel—" nevermake the
principles or politics of the monarch the condition of
their allegiaoe." We can by no means say the same
of their Oppmitents. True it is that, when the gale of
court favou fills - their sails, and a flowing tide
tt
bears them gaily on to the objects of their ambition,
they are ev&r the fawning and obsequious slaves of
royalty; bytt let their sky be obscured, their elysium
disturbed, and the royal eye averted only for an hour,
and then where is that exclusive loyalty, that devotion
to the person of the Monarch of which we now hear
so much and so loudly ? We hear it no longer, but,
' instead, we have the curses loud and deep of disap-
pointed ambition like the gnashing howl of dogs driven
from their meal of corruption.

Such a day of trial is, we trust, approaching. Her
Majesty will not long be permitted to risk in her own
person the consequences of her ministers' unpopularity.
Already her princely husband has had an opportunity

of witnessing how deep is the loathing with which they
are regarded by the respectable classes of British
society; and this last atrocious attempt may be instru-
mental in convincing his Royal Highness of the danger
incurred by neglecting such unequivocal demonstra-
tions. Under a sound Conservative government her
Majesty will at least enjoy the protection likely to be
afforded her by having around her royal person
ministers who will not fear on any occasion to encounter
themselves the consequences of their own acts !

It will be seen, from our parliamentary summary,
that a further discussion of Lord Stanley's Irish Re-
gistration Bill took place on Thursday evening, when,
on moving that the order of the day be read and the
house resolve itself into a committee, an amendment
was brought forward by Mr. C. Wood that the Re-
gistration Bill for England should be first considered,
which, after considerable debate, was negatived by a
MAJORITY OF ELEVEN, in favour of Lord Stanley's
motion, and AGAINST MINISTERS !

Sir D. Norreys then moved, as an amendment to
the motion " that the Speaker do leave the chair," an
instruction to the committee "to enable every person,
otherwise qualified, who shall have for a period of one
year paid poor-rates on an annual valuation (to be
specified), to register his vote," which was also nega-
tived, by a majority of 93 in a house of 533 members.

Owing to the late hour to which the proceedings
had extended, it was then proposed by Lord Stanley
to adjourn the committee to Monday (last night),
which proposition was, with his usual degree of petu-
lance, opposed on the part of government by -Lord
John Russell. He was, however, at once challenged
to proceed to a division on the question; and, it not
being either convenient or useful thus to invite ano-
ther manifestation of the opinion of the house on the
character of this shabby and disreputable mode of
proceeding, the-Member for Dublin came to the rescue
of the Colonial Secretary, and declared his purpose of
obstructing the progress of the bill by moving the
adjournment of the house. The scene which ensued
baffles description. It was one of those trials of the
patience of the house, by the exhibition of ferocious
blackguardism, to which the mendicant usually resorts
when baffled and beaten from a position ; and in which
—we are glad to report the fact—he was supported by
only a very small, and that by no means the most re-
spectable, portion of the ministerial party. The length
of time, however, during which the uproar prevailed,
afforded an excuse to that mean and factious person-
age, Lord John Russell, of which he was not too
higinninded to avail himself. The chairman then re-
ported progress, and the committee adjourned over to
Monday, on which day his little lordship announced
his intention of throwing every further impediment in
the way of the bill, whilst Mr. O'Connell declared that
he himself would not be held bound by any arrange-
ments which might be entered into.

We can, of course,. under these circumstances, form
no judgment as to the probable fate of the bill. That
ministers are defeated upon it is incontestible, and that
they ought either to resign or allow it to pass into a
law is equally so. They will, we dare say, do neither ;
but if beaten again, as no doubt they will be, on Mon-
day night, they will quietly hand over the duty of ob-
structing it to the bully whose peculiarly brazen front
is alone capable of the task. It is well known that
several of the respectable members of their party—at
the head of whom stands Sir B. Hall, the member for
Marylebone—have expressed their disinclination to
proceed further in a purely factious opposition to the
measure ; and the country will therefore have to be-
hold for the first time, in a reformed House of Com-
mons, the declared will of a majority, upon a great
constitutional question, negatived by the factious ob-
struction of a minority, led on by a bully whose very
name is an odium and a disgrace to the country which
has the misfortune to own him. How long will Eng-
land submit to such a degradation in the face of the
whole civilised world ?

THE QUEEN OF THE ISLE STEAM-SHlP.—This vessel
has recently leceived new steam-boilers, and her speed is
considerably improved. She sailed from Douglas for this
port on Saturday last, with upwards of three hundred
passengers, and made the passage in seven hours. The
Isle of Man is now very full of visitors.

LIVERPOOL REGATTA, ON THE MERSEY.—IR consequence
of the Cork Regatta having been fixed for the 4th of August,
the committee of the Mersey Regatta have deemed it expe-
dient to alter their day of sailing from • the 4th ofAugust to
the 21st of July.
APPROACHING PARLIAMENTARY REGISTRATION.—TO
avoid disfranchisement of electors in boroughs all poor-rates
and window-taxes, payable from a voter in respect of his
premises, previously to the 6th of April, must be paid on or
before the 20th of July, whether demanded by the collector
or not.

SUMMER CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES.—Northern: Mr.
Justice Coltman, Mr. Baron Rolfe.—Home: Lord Abinger,
Mr. Baron Gurney.—Midland: Lord Chief Justice Tindal,
Mr. Justice Littledale.—Oxford : Mr. Baron Parke, Mr.
Justice Williams.—Norfolk : Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr.
Justice Patteson.—Western: Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr.
Justice Maule.—Welsh : Lord Denman, Mr. Justice
Erskine.—Mr. Justice Bosanquet remains in town.
THE ROYAL GORDOVIGION EISTEDDFOD.—It will be
seen from the advertisement that this festival commences to-
morrow. The procession to escort the president and the
Cambrian gentlemen to the field, to re-proclaim the Eistedd-
vod, will start from the Adelphi at ten o'clock in the morning.
The ancient order of Druids, the Ancient Britons, the Cam-
brian society, &c, have signified their intention to join the
procession with their respective badges of office and "regalia."
It will also be accompanied by Mr. Stubb's royal harmonic
band—the same that played before her present majesty at the
Royal Beaumaris Eisteddvod.—See advt.

NEWTON RACES.—It will be perceived, from the advertise-
ment, that Mr. Towers, of the Angel Inn, Dale-street, has
taken the grand stand, during the ensuing races at Newton.
From Mr. Towers's well known character we have no doubt
that his visitors on the occasion will be amply provided with
the choicest wines, &c, as well as with the usual delicacies of
the season.
MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.--The exhibition of paintings,
works of art, models, manufactures, antiquities, &c, at the
Mechanics' Institution, will be opened to the public on Friday
next. We believe the collection of curiosities which will be
submitted for inspection will be of a very attractive charac-
ter. Those who intend to contribute any articles for the ex-
hibition have very little time to lose.—See advt.
REGISTRATION OF COUNTY VOTERS.—It may not be
useless at this time to remind overseers of the poor, that on
the 20th inst., thug are directed by Act of Parliament, (2
William IV., c. 48. s. 37,) to cause to be fixed on or near
the doors of all the churches and chapels within their re-
spective townships, or if there be no church or chapel therein.
then to be fixed to some other conspicuous situation, a notice
requiring all persons who may be entitled to vote in the
election of Knight of the Shire, to serve in parliament, to
send in their claims as such voters, to the overseers, on or
before the 20th day of July next. The ulterior proceedings
to be afterwards pursued, both on the parochial affairs, and
of our conservative friends, we shall be happy to quote and
lay before them for their guidance, in due course, as such
proceedings occur and require their attention.
LECTURES ON ASTRONOMY.--The lectures on the sublime
science of astronomy, delivered last week by Mr. Walker,
at the Liver Theatre, and which elicited such decided marks
of approbation, from numerous and highly respectable
audiences, will be repeated, for the last time in this town,
this evening, and on the evenings of Wednesday (to-morrow)
and Thursday next. This interesting course of lectures will
be illustrated by Mr. Walker's splendid concave orrery,
which is forty-two feet in circumference, (the only one ever
constructed, we believe, on his principle,) as well as by the
assistance of a variety of pleasing and auxiliary apparatus.
The repetition of these instructive lectures will afford an
opportunity to those schools and families, who did not avail
themselves of the former course, for familiarising the minds
of the young with the wonders of the creation, such as, we
feel convinced, they cannot enjoy for a long time to come.
We hope, therefore, to see the theatre crowded on each oc-
casion this week.
FOREIGN ENGRAVERS.—The admirable productions of
British professors in this department of art have long been
considered to surpass those of all continental artists, and to
present specimens of perfect and inimitable beauty. A refe-
rence to our advertising columns will show, that Messrs.
Perkins and Bacon have produced, in a mere label, a specimen
of engraving so minute as to be legible only with a lens; but
so perfect as totally to prevent counterfeit and set imitation
at defiance. The label in question is designed to put the
public on their guard against fraud and imposition as regards
that indispensable appendage of the toilet—" ROWLAND'S
MACASSAR OIL !" which words are repeated on the label
in the minute and beautiful style we have mentioned nearly
1500 times, containing nearly 30,000 letters.
ANTI-CORN-LAW CIRCULAR.—In these most eventful
times there is nothing surprising to find momentous topics
freely discussed on all hands ; and such discussions, it cannot
be denied, have a natural tendency to rub off the rust of pre-
judice and to lead to truth. The value of bread itself as the
staff' of life is universally known—but the questions of free
or restricted trade in corn appear to have their respective
warm advocates. It is a mighty point gained where unanimity
prevails upon any great question of vital consequence ; and
in no one modern instance, perhaps, is this feeling more pre-
Valent, that in the admitted transcendant virtues of that
matchless medicine—Atkinson's Infants' Preservative.
TRIBUTE TO INDUSTRY.—It always affords us much
gratification to be able to notice improvements in agriculture
or farm management, and to become the medium of com-
municating testimonials of approval of care and industry
presented by landlords to their tenantry. We need there-
fore scarcely say, that we have much pleasure in announcing
that John R. Shaw, Esq., an opulent landowner, of Cheshire,
has, in testimony of the admirable management of Mr. John
Poole, of the Arrow Hill farm, in the parish of Woodchurch,
handed to that individual a splendid piece of plate, with the
follbwing inscription engraven thereon, and that we shall be
glad to add, that other tenants of deserving merit have met
with equal encouragement :—" Presented to Mr. John Poole
by his landlord, John R. Shaw, Esq., for his persevering
endeavours and judicious management in improving the
lands in his occupation. Anno 1840."

TIIE CROPS.—Very favourable accounts of the forth-
coming crops, whether of fruits, vegetables, or the more
substantial and useful of nature's productions, continue to
reach us from all quarters. During the past week innumer-
able fields of wheat, both in Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, and
Yorkshire have shot into ear, and exhibit every appearance
of a most productive yield. During the week also the hay
harvest has commenced in various parts of the Riding, and
will be general in about a fortnight. The Corn harvest is
expected to be considerably earlier than that of last year ;
the present appearance of the country generally is most
promising.—Leeds Intelligencer.

CORRESPONDENCE.

GORDOVIGION ROYAL EISTEDDVOD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,—As Wednesday next will be the commencement of
this Grand Eisteddvod, may I encroach upon your valuable
space, at this short period before publication, with a few re-
marks relative to this novel undertaking in the town of Li-
verpool? Should you think them worthy of insertion, they
will perhaps be read with pleasure by many of your readers,
especially the Welsh, who are more deeply interested in the
success of this their greatest and most useful national cele-
bration.

If we take into account the variety of the subjects for
which prizes are to be competed, and the great importance
that belongs to most of them, it will not appear strange that
this Eisteddvod has created a more than usual excitement
here and in the principality, as well as in many parts of Eng-
land. Being under the patronage of the Royal Consort and
the Duke of Sussex, with that of many noblemen, baronets,
and gentry, who have contributed towards.its expense, the
result will no doubt he as favourable as its most sanguine
supporters could reasonably anticipate. As a field of honour-
able competition has been laid open, not only for Welshmen,
but for Englishmen, Scotchmen, and Irishmen; and, as the
mode of deciding upon the merits of the compositions pre-
cludes the possibility of partiality, we may expect that those
only will receive the rewards to whom the palm of merit
really belongs. Such is the plan of adjudicating the prizes,
that they might adopt as their motto, " PALM AM QUI
MERUIT FERAT." The poem, in Welsh, on the late disas-
trous hurricane, and its effect on Liverpool, will, it is to be
hoped, be a superior production, for which I am sure many
learned and talented competitors have put in their claim ;
and the successful piece will be read with a melancholy plea-
sure throughout the principality. The English poem on the
" Resources of Liverpool, and its claims to the title of modern
Tyre," will be perused with gratification throughout the Bri-
tish empire. There is also a Welsh poem on the same sub-
ject. The " History (in Welsh) of the Welsh Princes" will
certainly be soon translated into English. The Welsh and
English essay, on the " Character of the Welsh, as a nation,
in the present age," will be an interesting production. Two
subjects respecting the Bishoprics of Wales, will be likely to
lead to some important and beneficial results as regards that
portion of the episcopal bench. The essay on "Civil and
religious.discord the ruin of the Welsh nation," proposed by
the Rev. D. James, of Kirkdale, will be historically instruc-
tive. It would be unnecessary to comment on all these sub-
jects, as well as many others that have been submitted to the
ordeal of accurate and unbiassed criticism : it is sufficient
here to observe, that when they come forth to the light they
will be useful companions in the hours of relaxation from the
toils of business, imparting amusement and instruction, im-
proving the taste and strengthening the judgment.
I might say more at present on this interesting subject, hut
I fear lest I should too far trespass on your limits. I shall
only say, in conclusion, that many an anxious heart, the
hand of whose owner has aspired to compete for these honour-
able rewards of literary glory, must be now palpitating with
the disquietude of suspense, awaiting with emotion the an-
nouncement of discomfiture or the pride of success.
Respectfully yours,
15th June, 1840. A CAMBRIAN.

REDWING AND MONK STEAMERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,—A correspondent of the Liverpool Mail states that
the Redwing is the fastest boat on the Mersey; regarding
which I beg to state that I have seenherbeaten by the Monk,
when that boat plied between the Monks' Ferry and Liver-
pool. I am, &c.,
ANOTHER LOVER OF FAIR PLAY.

Liverpool, 12th June, 1840.
[We feel obliged to our correspondent for calling our at-
tention to the letter alluded to, and pointing out to us the
fact stated. We have no wish to detract from the good qua-
lities of the Redwing tender as a steamer; but finding it
stated by some one who has taken the subject up, that the
cause of that vessel being beaten the other day, was the defective
and unsafe state of her boilers, we can only reply that we
could have had no knowledge of such a circumstance, which,
indeed, a good deal surprises us in a Queen's vessel ; and we
may add, that the engines of the Archimedes are by no means
so effective as they ought to be ; that in place of working up
to 80 horses' power, as rated, it only works to from 70 to
73, with 241 revolutions per minute. The Archimedes had
also a great number of passengers on board. This may serve
as a sort of a set-off to the allegations made of the superiority
of the Redwing.]

GROSS CASE OF OPPRESSION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SIR,--A friend of mine, a confidential servant in the em-
ploy of a leading mercantile firm in trading to the United
States, was denounced last week by the agents of the Pro-
tector or Repeal Society, for having as they asserted, intro-
duced into his warehouse a petition in favour of Lord Stan-
ley's Irish registration bill. The leading partner ordered him
into his presence, and after telling him that he had received
letters from several gentlemen belonging to the Protector
Society, and had had interviews with others on the subject,
and that he could not think of retaining him in his employ
any longer. My friend denied the charge, and challenged
his accusers to the proof. This was of no avail—go he must,
and go he did. This, sir, is called liberalism in the present
day. Sorry am Ito think that the O'Connell dynasty should
be so predominant in Liverpool : but still more sorry am I
to think that a Protestant merchant should suffer himself to
be dictated to by a Romish clique, as to what he should do
or how he should act towards a faithful Protestant servant.
Arid now, sir, I would wish to ask Mr. is he aware
that Mr. H— (himself a Catholic), his warehouseman, in-
troduced a petition into the warehouse for a repeal of the
corn laws ? It was three days there, and men were actually
called out of the street to sign it, and this was well known to
Mr. T---, the principal warehouseman, an ultra liberal.
And now, Mr. Editor, if my friend was discharged for a
crime for which he challenged his accusers to the proof, what
should be done to the two warehousemen (his superiors) who
have been guilty of a similar offence, and dare not deny it ?
1 remain, dear sir,
ONE INJURED BY A SIMILAR INFLUENCE.

OBSERVATIONS ON MR. WILSON'S PAMPHLET
ENTITLED " INFLUENCES OF THE CORN
LAWS, &c."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,—My attention was first called to this publication by
the high encomiums passed upon it by the anti-corn law-press,
and more especially by extracts published in the Leeds Mer-
cury of the 18th April. The table there set forth is a most
valuable document, and contrary to the intention of either
Mr. Wilson or the editors of the Mercury, affords such
abundant proof of the excellent working of the present corn
laws, that, after a calm and dispassionate examination, no
one, I think, can deny that these laws are highly beneficial,
and ought to be preserved ; all this I said in a letter dated 23d
April, and published in the Leeds Intelligences, and other
papers..
Having been thus called upon, I have read the book,
and from the style in which it is written, I am not surprised
that it should have attracted notice. There are many pas-
sages in it which I should have been proud to have called my
own ; it does not deal in that vulgar abuse and vituperation
too common in works advocating a repeal of the corn laws.
But there is not in the whole book one line to prove that the
present corn laws have acted prejudicially on the country, nor
yet one to show that a repeal of them would produce the
slightest benefit. The fundamental argument of the author
is intended to show the injurious effects of fluctuations in
the price of wheat, and that the present corn laws neces-
sarily produce great and frequent changes of price ; he calls
these "the extraordinary fluctuations which have taken place
of late years in the price of wheat." This, he says, " must
ever continue to be the result of protective and prohibitory
laws, because from this necessary tendency the whole of the
evils of the present system have arisen." In speaking of the
prejudicial consequences of the present corn laws and those
of 1815, be says, " the most Striking feature is the great in-
equality and fluctuation of price ; " he says also, " no article
of extensive consumption in this country ought to be from
the nature of its production and consumption so free from
fluctuation as wheat." I cannot possibly agree in this opinion.
Wheat in its production is subject to vicissitudes of great ex-
tent ; even in this happy climate a difference of produce
amounting to one-fourth or one-sixth has been often known,
whilst the absolute necessity of it makes the consumption
regular. Mr. Wilson says, "it is therefore plain that ine-
quality of demand cannot be the cause of fluctuation of prices.
if bread corn were as unnecessary as nutmegs, or other luxu-
ries, a high price would lessen the consumption ; so far from
this being the case with wheat, I fear the poor man, when
bread is dear, eats less meat, and therfore requires snore
bread than usual. But as far as I know, it has ever been a
rule in logic first to establish the premises upon which the argu-
ment is founded. Mr. W. has not done this, nor is it possible
for him to do so, because the assumption has no foundation in
truth. In answering this the &stand greatest charge which Mr.
Wilson has made against the corn laws, I shall, of course,
confine myself to the present corn laws, it being both useless
and absurd to defend laws which have long since been re-
pealed. Now, it is quite impossible to suppose that Mr.
Wilson has made this heavy accusation against the presen
corn laws, for the purpose of misleading his readers, at the
same time it is difficult to imagine how such an acute writer
could have overlooked facts which had been publicly stated
over and over again, and the truth of which could have been
so easily ascertained. To show how much Mr. Wilson errs
in speaking of the ill effects of the corn laws, whin be says
" the most striking feature is the great inequality of fluctua-
tion of price," I will quote from a table published from par-
liamentary returns, which gives the price of wheat in each
year from 1717 to 1840. This table chews the rate of fluc-
tuation per cent. in every period of five years down to 1833;
thus from 1797 to 1802 the fluctuations are stated to be 220 per
cent. ; from 1802 to 1807 100 percent. ; frpm 1807 to 1812 74
per cent. ; from 1812 to-1817 183 per cent. ; from 1817 to 1822
143 per cent. ; from 1822 to 1827 81 per cent., and from
1828, the first year of the present corn laws, to 1833, the
fluctuations only amounted to 40 per cent. ; as this table
goes no further, I must myself calculate the next five years,
but to remove all doubt of the accuracy of my calculations,
I will give the parliamentary returns for these five years :
they are 1833, 535. Id. ; 1834, 465. 2d. ; 1335, 395. 4d. ;
1836, 48s. 6d. ; 1837, 555. 10d. The fluctuations are there-
fore nearly 42 per cent., and I can see no reason why the
fluctuations in the following five years should be made
greater. The steadiness as well as the moderation of the
prices of wheat in the last two years, notwithstanding the
very great deficiency of the crops, prove how much the pre-
sent corn laws tend to keep prices equable. I therefore
think the assumption that the corn law is injurious, by
causing fluctuations in the price -of wheat, is disproved, and
of course all the arguments founded upon it perfectly useless.
The average amount of fluctuations in every period of five
years for the thirty years immediately preceding the passing
of the present corn laws having been 133 per cent., and the
average of each five years since the present law being only
41 per cent., the proofs of the advantage of the present corn
in preventing great fluctuations in the price of wheat is so
triumphant as to leave no doubt of it.
There are two other positions which Mr. Wilson seems
anxious to establish—one is, that the fluctuations in the price
of wheat are not to be attributed to good or bad seasons. He
says, "We must at once banish from our mind the com-
monly received opinion that the fluctuation of prices are
caused by favourable and unfavourable seasons." He says
they are the effect of speculations arising from previous high
' or low prices. Now there can be no doubt that improved or
neglected tillage would, in a few years, materially alter the
quantity of the productions of the earth, and that high or
low prices would influence the cultivation is equally certain ;
but to deny that good or bad seasons alter these productions
in a still more sudden manner, is to deny that which is as
clear as noon day sun. Thirdly, Mr. Wilson asserts that
the repeal of the corn-laws would not reduce the price of
wheat, but the contrary ; the way in which he says this, has
the marks of sincerity. He says this opinion is totally diffe-
rent from what either the agriculturist or the manufacturer
holds. True, and it is not very wonderful that people should
expect when the market of supply is widely extended, and
the demand not in the• smallest degree increased, that a fall
of prices should follow ; what may be the effect produced by
a continuation of low prices is another question ; but Mr.
Wilson anticipates no decline of prices. My opinion, how-
ever, is, and always has been, unless the seasons prove very
ungenial, or the British farmers have a full anticipation of
the change, and reduce their cultivation immediately, that a
great reduction of prices will be the consequence of the
repeal, and I think the natural effect of this reduction (which
Mr. H. seems so well to understand), being that British hus-
bandry will be so much reduced as to occasion in unfavourable
seasons, and when our continental friends either cannot or
will not minister to our wants, such an advance in the price
as has not been known here for many ages past. To pre-

q serve a steadiness of prices in corn has always been my own
anxious desire, and I know of nothing so likely to effect this
great blessing as the preservation of sliding duties, and the
maintenance of that law, unaltered, and in all its integrity
which has hitherto produced this happy effect. Had this
gentleman been more happy in proving his propositions, I
should gladly have given him credit for being more able
to discuss the merits or demerits of the present corn-
laws; but though he has as I think failed in proving any
one of them, let us not deny him praise for what he has
done aright. Many passages in his book proclaim a wise
head and a kind heart. I will give two short extracts
of that description, he says, " Wherever provisions are
dearest, the condition of the bulk of the labourers is de-
cidedly best, and their ability to command the necessaries,
comforts, and even elegancies of life, form a striking contrast
with the extreme difficulty with which even the barest neces-
saries are obtained, where they are cheapest." He says—
" compare the condition of the whole labourers of this coun-
try with that of any of the countries of the continent where
provisions are at the lowest prices, compare their diet,
clothing, and habitation, with what are allotted to the labour-
ing classes in Prussia, oland, or France, and see how supe-
rior the worst classes are in these respects in this country
compared with the very best in those of supposed abundance
and cheapness." The publication of such truths as these is
deserving the highest praise, especially when produced for
the benefit of the anti-corn-law people. Mr. Wilson's fourth
and last proposition is, " What change in the present corn
laws would best suit the interests of all parties ?" To this 1
do not think it necessary to reply, because I think they re-
quire no alteration, and because to concede anything material
would be to destroy. I think the time has now arrived when
I may properly retire from the controversy on the long agi-
tated question of the " corn laws." I entered upon its dis-
cussion for the purpose, solely, of explaining to my country-
men, in the best way I was able, the nature and operation of
these laws, and if possible to convince them that, whilst af-
fording a fair, and but a fair protection to the British farmer,
they did not injuriously affect the commercial and tnanufae-
turing interests of the country. I have also been anxious
that a question involving such vast and complicated interests
should be discussed with temper and sobriety of language,
and the progress of the argument in favour of these laws has
convinced me that the good sense of my countrymen is not
to be abused with impunity, but that time and retlectidn only
are necessary to ensure from them a fair and candid judg-
ment, and 1 trust that henceforth nothing will occur to dis-
turb that friendly feeling which it is essential should exist
between the agricultural and commercial communities. In
looking back upon what I have written on this subject, I-feel
that I may congratulate myself in having abstained from all
asperity of expression, nor have I, to my knowledge, violated
in a single instance that respect which was due to those who
differed from me in opinion. I have been deeply impressed
with a desire to disabuse the public mind, of what I considered
very erroneous opinions, and unfounded prejudices, and for
this purpose I offered the benefit of my long experience upon
subjects connected with the corn laws, and I hope I have
not wholly failed in my object. I beg leave, Sir, to thank
you for the readiness with which you have published my let-
ters in your paper, and to offer the same acknowledgment to
every other Editor who has condescended to give them in-
sertion. Should anything arise to require it, I shall be at
my post, but I feel persuaded the advantages of the present
corn laws are now more known and better appreciated than ...
at any former period, and I most sincerely hope the agitation
of the question will cease.
I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant,
JOHN BAKER.

Christian Literature. A View of the Internal Evidence of
the Christian ReUnion. By Somme Jenyns.
Observations on the Conversion and Apostleship of St. Paid.
By Lord Lyttleton. Edinburgh: A. and C. Black ; Liver-
pool : C. Davies and Co.
These two masterly tracts constitute another part of the
series of " Christian Literature." 'With the positions of the
former of these works we do not entirely agree, especially
with the views of the author on the plenary inspiration of
the Holy Scriptures. Still it is a powerful vindication of the
truth of Christianity, and may afford much satisfaction to
the candid inquirer, as well as furnish the Christian student
with powerful arguments against the infidel. Lord Lyttle-
ton's elaborate tract is too well known and 'too generally ap-
preciated to need any extended commendation. It forms
suijoble accompaniment to the work of Gilbert West
I*urrection of Jesus Christ. The reissue of such
~*orks at the present crisis, when infidel writers are straining
, every nerve to sap the foundations of our national faith, is
~peculiarly opportune.

Here commences the Weaver Navigation Canal, which
rises for a considerable distance nearly parallel with and
close to a stone sea-wall, recently constructed, on the top of
which is a pier or cop affording an elevated grassy walk. I
here landed, having a wish to visit some of the extensive
quarries for which the place is celebrated. The canal, which
here runs in a south-easterly direction towards the mouth of
the Weaver, commences with a long basin or dock, having
locks, for the reception of the numerous flats in their transit
by this line of navigation. The sea-wall, which slopes in a
curve, or inverted arc, towards the river, is upwards of a mile
in length, and is substituted for an old ill-constructed wear
wall, which it was found impossible to maintain, and of which
some shattered remains may yet be seen. Other new erec-
tions for commercial convenience are also in progress, includ-
ing a dock for flats from Northwich and Winsford. There
are several neat houses, warehouses, &c., at Weston Point.
Crossing the canal by one of the dock-gate bridges, the visi-
tor will reach by a little lane a neat inn, surrounded by trees
and shrubberies, called " The Weaver Arms," kept by Mrs.
Barns. He may hence proceed southward, towards Wes-
ton, passing several of the stone quarries. A green
lane between trees and hedges will lead bins to some houses
on Weston bill, near a small chapel. From almost any part
of this hill the views are highly beautiful and extensive. The
whole of the estuary of the Mersey northward is spread before
the spectator, like a huge lake or inland sea, toundecl by the
wooded shores already named. Westward are the now abrupt
and strongly defined Helsby and Overton hills, with dark
forests of pines near their tops. Under them on the east side,
and on a site, about two miles distant, surrounded by rich
enclosed fields, stands the town of Frodsham, the houses and
ancient church distinctly visible. Below these, on the
right, lie Frodsham marshes, presenting a sea of verdure.
Here, I was informed, a thousand head of cattle find ample
pasturage. The Weaver and the canal are between the spec-
tator and Frodsham, in a fine rich bottom of meadows and
corn fields. The river is tortuous, and the canal, which
again runs into it higher up, cuts off some of the curves in
the navigation. The general aspect of the whole country is,
indeed, truly delightful; and the view is rendered more and
more extensive by every additional step in the assent of the
hill. The Overton hills bound the celebrated Forest of De-
lamere.
I had a note of introduction to a gentleman (Mr. Sampson)
connected with one of the large quarries, and found bins at
the works. Ile afforded me all the information in his power ;
but the rain which continued to fall heavily, marred the pros-
pect. The greater part of the land in Weston is owned by
three parties, namely, Miss Orred, of Elms Cottage, Wm.
Banks, Esq. and Philip Whitehead, Esq. There are several
large farmers, three of whom, Mr. Banks, Mr. Fletcher, and
Mr. Ford, make each about two cheeses daily of 40 to 501bs.
weight. The pasture land in this quarter is very rich and
well suited for the purposes of the dairy. In other respects
Weston is chiefly noted for its fine stone, vast quantities of
which, in huge blocks, have for many years been sent to Li-
verpcol and other places, for the erection of docks, and pub-
lic and private buildings. It is of a lightish red colour, and
of excellent durable quality. The quarry at which I found
my friend is known as one of the Weston Point quarries. It
is worked by J no. Toinkinson, Esq., and is situated on the ris-
ing ground facing the mouth of the Weaver. From 100 to 150
men are here employed in the ), arious branches of the work,
and there is a railway to Weston Point, for the convey-
ance of the article when squared. The top stratum of the
rock is from 40 to 45 feet in depth : there is then a bed of
rubble of four to five yards deep ; under it there is another
stratum of rock from 30 to 40 feet in thickness, and of fine
durable quality. The depth of this quarry is amazing. The
men working at the bottom appear much reduced its size, and the
huge ledges and masses of rock, some of them spanned at a fear-
temporary bridges of planks, together with the
sfuolushiedigohfthbaymmers, picks, and voices ascending from the ca-
vities below, render the whore a scene at once novel and inte-
restini,. There is another large quarry below, and some

The editor of the New Orleans Times says, the corsets
worn by the ladies of that city will bear a monstrous strain,
judging from a lady he saw in the street, who was so nearly
cut in two, that a man would be considered amenable for
bigamy should he marry her.
Too BAD !—ln a village church, a few Sundays back, the
clergyman having published the banns of marriage, was very
aptly followed by the clerk reading the hymn, commencing;
" Mistaken souls, who dream of heaven."
A funeral has not taken place in this town (Barnstaple)
from the 25th of April to the 26th of May ; this, in a popula-
tion of 8,000, is an extraordinary circumstance, and speaks
volumes of the salubrity of the season.
CAUTION.—By the new Prison Discipline Act, 2 and 3

exceeding five pounds, nor less than forty shillings, or in de-
fault of payment one month's imprisonment.
The river Thames has become the most important highway
in this kingdom, and perhaps in Europe. Capital to the

Christian Literature. Moses Unveiled; and the Harmony
of all the Prophets. By William Guild. Edinburgh :A.
and C. Black ; Liverpool: C. Davies and Co.
This work contains a minute and elaborate explanation of
those figures, in the Mosaic Dispensation, which served as
natterns and shadows of heavenly things, pointing out the
Messiah, Jesus Christ; and presents us with a connected
view of the prophecies contained in the Old Testament re-
lating to His coming, and the redemption which he was to
accomplish by his death. The whole is eminently calculated
to confirm the Christian and to convince the Jew. The
author has succeeded in establishing the perfect harmony of
the Old and New Testaments, and in producing a work which
cannot but be considered as a powerful antidote to the cavils
of the shallow infidel. This work ought to be in the bands
of every young person.

Her Majesty has been pleased to elevate General Sir Thos.
Wilshere to the dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom,
as a reward for his services at the capture of Khelat, in the
East Indies..

IMPORTANT TO CHURCHWARDENS.--Mr. Justice Cole-
ridge lately decided, that a party who had served the office
of churchwarden one year, was eligible to the office the next,
but that he could not be•cornpelled to serve against his will.

TELEGRAPH OFFICE, JUNE 15, 1840.

THE ABOLITION OF IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.—Since
the passing of the act for the abolition of imprisonment fur
debt on mesne process, the various debtors' prisons in the
metropolis have been comparatively empty, not only of those
formerly taken on mesne process, but by some beneficial
working of the system, there are not so many taken in ex-
ecution. At present there are( only 74 prisoners in the
Queen's Bench, and 22 in the Marshalsca, being the lowest
number ever known to have been confined within its walls.

PRIESTS ON THE LOOK-OUT FOR CONVERTS.—A respect-
able correspondent in this neighbourhood has declared his
readiness to restore a girl of the Protestant faith to her eye-
sight if her whole family go to mass. The eye is entirely
destroyed, and attempt at cure would not be entered upon
by the able and attentive surgeon, G. A. Nixon, Esq.—
Another priest recently made his way into the county pri-
son to render sane a lunatic ; but his success was something
more than equivocal, for he next day knocked down his
keepers.—Fermanagh Reporter.

CHRISTIAN ADVICE.—A priest directed his flock from the
altar of Castlebar chapel of Sunday, to throw boiling water
upon any persons who might bring tracts to their houses. He
understood, he said, " the wives of swaddling preachers" and
others were in the habit of doing so ; but let them be treated
as he ordered, and they would not, he was sure, go there
again with their poison. Father James Hughes advised
another sort of chastisement for those who were so wicked as
to attempt to disseminate scriptural truths. The pitchfork
or the bog-hole were, in his eyes, the proper punishment.
Scalding is the favourite mode prescribed by his brother in-
quisitor who held forth on Sunday. Most Christian pastors,
truly !—Mayo Constitution.
WINDOW DUTY.—A return to an order of the House of
Commons of the window duty assessed for the years 1837
and 1838, for the twelve towns in England which pay the
largest amount, is so far curious, as it shows the progress
made from the former to the latter of those years in building
improvements. For Liverpool the amount of duty in 1837
was £21,789, while in 1838 it was £22,277. a difference of
above £5OO. For Bath the difference is little more than
£2OO ; the duty for 1837 being £18,432, and for 1838 being
£18,648. For Bristol the increase is scarcely above £lOO ;
the duty being £12,038 for 1837, and £12,145 for 1838. For
Manchester the difference is under £lOO ; the duty for 1837
being £12,547, and for 1838 being £12,639.
SOAP Suns.—Gardeners and others are not sufficiently
aware of the value of this article as a manure. It is com-
monly poured down the drains, and suffered to run to waste ;
whereas if it were applied occasionally to the roots of vines,
fruit trees, &c., the vigour of the plants will he surprisingly
increased. The exhausted lees of the soap boilers have long
been used as a manure ; but few people think of applying the
oil and alkali of the soap in its more valuable state of liquid.

RELATIVE STATUS OP WHIGQICRY AND CONSERVATISM
IN MANCHESTER.—We take the following
forcible remarks
from the Manchester Chronicle :—We have one other point
to submit to those who regard—as we believe, justly regard—
the circulation of the conservative and whig papers as a test
of the influence of the respective parties. Thee joint circula-
tion of the Manchester conservative pape r the past six
months was 183,940, while the entire circulation of the Guar-
• • 154 500. In other words,
Guar-
dian, as a single publication, was ,
the number of conservative readers and subscribers exceeds
that of the Guardian readers and subscribers by 29,440, or
1,132 per week. This is the only just mode of estimating the
comparative value of the conservative and whig press, as a
test of public opinion, or a vehicle for public announcements ;
and in either light conservatives may justly congratulate
themselves on the view presented.

WESTON,
A straggling place, with a large open space or common
in the centre, in which are the remains of an old cross.
There are several very antique houses, barns, &c., of
stone, and also of frame and brick-work. The village ap-
pears to be founded on rock. Near one end there is a tine
antique farm-house, in the old English style, with a garden
in front, and a large holly tree clipped in a fantastic manner.
From this village I passed on by a lane, and afterwards a
field footroad, to

Majesty King James I. was here sumptuously entertained,
after hunting in Halton Park. it afterwards fell into the
possession of the Barrymore family and 6nally into the hands
of the Marquis of Cholmondeley. lt is delightfully situated,
amongst woods and lawns, overlooking the waters of the
eaver, and the rich marshes that surround the eminence
on which it stands. It is described as having been in 1640
a
splendid
mansion, in a most delectable spot ; but very little
of it now remains to gratify the researches of the antiquary.
A portion of the ruins, about 40 feet in height, and about
twenty broad at the base, with an ash tree growing close up
to it and some feet over it, rises abruptly at the north-east
corner of what appears to have been the site of the structure,
and is probably. a part of one of the sides. In front, too,
there is an ancient buttressed stone wall, with a gateway in
the centre, enclosing a square space, now apparently a gar-
den, which was probably occupied by the building and its
courts. There are also dilapidated walls and arches, at dif-
ferent points; and a sort of well, covered with boards, was

We have again to notice a very heavy arrival of Butter, the Cork
steamer alone bringing 6,000 firkins, and prices have consequently
experienced a further reduction of .8s to los per cwt. The finest
Carlow and Waterford finds purchasers with difficulty at 88s to 90s,
whilst middling qualities are unsaleable at 823 to 84s. There has
not, been a proportionate fall iii the price of pickled Butter, seconds
maintaining the figure of 94s to Os. Beef has become scarce, and
India is now worth .e 7 Ss per tierce; prime Mess, .46 lOs to £7.
Prime Mess Pork, 76s to 82s per barrel, and but little inquiry for
the article. Bacon very steady at the late advance, and a further
increase in price anticipated : prime heavy meat, 52s per cwt.
There has been rather an active demand for Lard at 58s to 62s per
cwt. for firkins and bladders.

The supply of Beasts at market to-day was much the same as
last week. There was a great scarcity of prime Beef, for which
very high prices were demanded, and sales effected at our last quo-
tations, 7id ; second quality, 7}d; .inferior, did to Od. The num-
ber of Sheep and Lambs was a little larger than last week. Prime
Wethers sold at Ocl to 7d ; second quality, 6#d ; inferior, tid. Good
Lambs in demand at 7fd to 8d; second and inferior quality, 7d to
7#(l.
