TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are obliged to a friend for directing our attention to the•
remarks in the Liverpool Times, in answer to what we.
stated on Friday. A colum►► in an obscure part of an ob-
scure journal may easily escape detection. We may pro-
bably find some amusement ►n dissecting the sophisms of
our contemporary on Friday.
Several communications intended for insertion: have un-
avoidably been postponed. We have received a file ak
Newfoundland papers to the 27th of May, but they reached
. us at too late an hour to be available for our present publi-
cation.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1840.

The arrival of the British Queen at Portsmouth, on
Tuesday last, has put us in possession of New York
papers to the Ist instant, inclusive. The British
Queen brought home about 130,000 dollars in specie,
and Iso passengers. Three packet ships left New
York on the same day. The election of President was
exciting an unusual degree of interest throughout the
states. The customary charges of bribery and inti-
midation were lavishly indulged in by the contending
parties. Of the general state of business in New York
it is remarked that the market was completely op-
pressed with produce, for which there was compara—
tively little demand. There was an extraordinary want:
of confidence among commercial men. Capital was
said to be imprecedentedly abundant, but it would not
be parted with on such security as would be considered,
in other times, amply sufficient.
The Pennsylvania legislature seemed disposed to
adopt the necessary measures for re-establishing the
credit of the state. A bill, which was likely to be
passed into a law, had been introduced, providing
means for an additional revenue for the payment of in-
terest on the state debt, and extinguishing the prin-
cipal.
The crop.of cotton is now stated at the enormous
amount of 2,130,000 bales, of which 1,900,000 bales
had been reccived at the ports from the interior.

Two other steam-boatexplosions had recently taken
place in the states, thus affording fresh evidence of the
-unsound principles upon which the boilers of the
American steamers are constructed. One of them was
the Greened, which blew up between Montague and
Hartford, on the Connecticut canal, and which caused
the loss of several lives. The other was the Grampus
of New Orleans, which caused the death of two of the

crew.

It is stated that the dreadful tornado at Natchez, of
n•hich we furnished an account in our second edition
of Tuesday, had done damage to property to the
amount of 5,000,000 of dollars. Upwards of 300
lives are said to have been lost on this melancholy oc-
casion.

The news from Central America is described as ex—
ceedingly gloomy. Civil war was raging in every part.
of the republic. It is stated that Morazan, who hadi
held the Presidency for eight years, by the choice of:
the people, but who had usurped it for the last four'
years, had been defeated and driven out of the country.
From Canada there,is no news of importance. His
Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor had prorogued the
Special Council from the 15th to the 28th ultimrA,
Much dissatisfaction was expressed at the refusal of the
Governor-General to assimulate the currency of the
two provinces. The Hon. D. B. Viger and Mr. John
M'Donnell, who had been imprisoned for upwards of
18 months, on charges of high treason, had been libe-
rated.

We have received a copy of the Halifax (N. S.)
Journal of the isth May. His Excellency the Lieute-
nant-Governor, Sir Colin Campbell, continued to re-
ceive addresses of confidence and esteem from all parts
of the province. These addresses breathe the most
fervent loyalty to her Majesty, and the most devoted
attachment to the British constitution. They also ex-
press the unqualified approbation of the great majority
of the colonists of the firmness which Sir Colin
Campbell has displayed in delaying to give effect to the
recent resolutions of the House of Assembly, solitcing
tlz eissolution of the Executive Council until her Ma-
jesty's pleasure should be known.

The Journal states that the United States troops at
'lonlton had been ordered to take their post at the
Feih River, in the disputed territory.

Accounts had been reeeived at Halifax from Bermu-
da, to the 21st of April. These accounts state that the
exports from Grenada for the year ending the 31st of
December last, as compared with the table for 1838, .
show a deficiency_of 5,484,6771b5. of sugar, and 219,782
gallons of rum. Very heavy rains in the windward !
parishes of Grenada had put a stop to the manufacture
of sugar.

We have received advices from Jamaica to the 16thi
of May inclusive. Our files of the Royal Gazette and_
of the Standard only reach to the 9th ultimo. From.
these journals we learn that the Baptists were still:
busily employed in the work of agitation, but, happily:.
without producing any fresh disturbances. These int-
cendiaries had drawn up an address, which was pre-
sentes to Sir Charles Metcalfe, in which they demanded
from him an explanation of certain expressions con-
tained in his despatch to Lord John Russell, and an,
unqualified retraction of others. This impudent de-
mand was met by his Excellency in a becoming spirit.
He advised his secretary to intimate to the ministers
whose names were attached to the address that the
tone which they had assumed precluded a reply, and
that even if the tone and contents were unexceptionable,
he could never, with due consideration to the office
entrusted to him, render it amenable to individuals for
any communications designed to elucidate the state of
affairs in the island, which he might, in the discharge
of his public duty, submit to her Majesty's ministers.
After receiving this suitable intimation these dema-
gogues magnanimously passed a resolution to the effect
that, " conscious of the rectitude of their conduct, the
Baptist missionaries intend to take little further notice
of his Excellency's unsupported accusations against
them." It is well remarked by the Royal Gazette that,
" if any thing were wanting to rivet the first impressions
on Sir Charles's mind, it is the subsequent conduct of
these men."

The Jamaica Despatch complains bitterly q)f the pre-
ference shown by government for slave-grown sugar,

Since the above remarks were in type, we have re-
ceived the London Times of Thursday morning, and
find that in despite of his pledge, plainly and distinctly
uttered, and as plainly worded, that " most incom-
prehensible of all pigmies"—that quintessence of
meanness, the Colonial Secretary is compelled by the
• tyrant authority which rough-rides Lord Melbourne's
administration, to eat his owa words, and embark in a
fresh course of obstruction. The pledge given, that
Lord Stanley's bill should to-night be allowed to go
Tinto committee for discussion upon its merits, is to be
lbroken, deliberately and openly, in order we suppose
that Great Britain should be able to form an idea of
the depth of infamy to which a whin government will
allow itself to be dragged by its imatiable love of
corruption and public plunder. We quote the words
of our contemporary, and he know' sufficiently of
,what a Whig is capable.

An interpretation forged, fOrced, and unnatural, has
been wilfully put upon certain expressions of the rev.
gentleman by Popish adversaries, who felt that the true
interpretation was scathing to their system. And
then their own interpretation, as hateful to every feeling
of the rev. gentleman's heart as it is congenial to theirs,
has been made the ground of an accusation, which they
who first advanced it, and all who have since repeated
it, knew and know to be utterly, deliberately, and dia-
bolically false. The rev. gentleman commented on the
history and character of " that woman Jezebel," the
infamous wife of King Ahab of Israel. He called at-
tention to her idolatry in defiance of the divine com-
mandment, her reckless ambition aiming at its pur-
pose through perjury, her perfidy, and her systematic
and persevering persecution of the faithful servants of
God.

And in harmony with many of the most distin-
guished divines of the reformed church, he applied
those characteristics as illustrative of the Papal system,
as that system stands developed in Papal books of au-
thority, and exhibited in the conduct of Papal leaders,
both ecclesiastical and civil.

The ninth room contains another collection of natural
curiosities, including some rare fossils, stuffed birds, insects,
animals, &c., &c.
The tenth room contains a number of well-executed draw-
ings, by the pupils in the various schools attached to the
institution. Many of those which have emanated from the
mechanics in the evening schools are highly creditable to their
diligent study of the tine arts, and indicate considerable pro-
ficiency on the part of the students.
The eleventh room contains specimens of the printing press,
with other apparatus in use in the art of printing, book..

The twelfth room contains some exquisite specimens of
upholstery, by Mr. Woods, of Bold-street, together with the
machinery for fringe manufacture, in operation, &c.
The thirteenth room has a display of various articles of
furniture, especially carpeting and upholstery, by Messrs.
Woolright and Chidson, of Bold-street.
The theatre will be fitted up with microscopic apparatus,
to be exhibited by the aid of the oxy-hydrogen gas.
One of the rooms on the ground floor is filled with philo-

of steam-engines, locomot►ves, ships, &c. &c.
In short, the whole exhibition is both splendid and
unique. It would take many columns of our paper to give
even a bare enumeration of the various objects on v►ew. We
recommend our readers to provide themselves with season

MEETING OF THE DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meet-
int, of the members of the Dock Committee was held yester-
day in the office, Custom-house. Mr. Barclay was appointed
chairman. The following members were present :—Messrs.
Dixon, Holmes, Thos. Holt, Barclay, Seger, Yates, Tobin,
Horsfall, Smith, Martin, and Gladstone. The secret-try
read the proceedings of the last meeting, and they were con-
firmed. A number of accounts were ordered to be paid. The
sub.committee on life boats reported that they had examined
the model of a new life boat submitted by Mr. Richardson,
and were of opinion, that it was not desirable to build one
according to it. On the motion of Mr. Yates, seconded by
Mr. Horsfall, the thanks of the committee were ordered to
be given to Mr. Richardson, for the zeal and talent he had,
exhibited in the preparation of the model. The marine sur-
veyor reported that a Prussian brig, from Liverpool to Riga,
with no pilot on board, was discovered in the channel in dis-
tress, at five a.m. on Monday, and that after the life boats
from several of the stations had proceeded to and rendered
her assistance, she was towed into port by the Victoria
steamer. Enquiry were ordered to be made who were the
owners of the vessel and cargo, in order to call upon them
for the repayment of the expenses incurred. 9n the recoin-
mendation of the marine surveyor, an additional telescope
was ordered for the telegragh station on Hilbre Island, to
look on the North West Light-ship. A letter from the head
constable was read, explanatory of the circumstances under
which police constable Roberts attempted to save the unfor-
tunate man Smith, who was drowned in the Waterloo Dock,
and, after a short conversation, the suns
intrepidity.
was ordered
to be presented to him as a reward for his The
chairman then read a letter from Mr. Leathom, chairman of
the committee, dated Morley's Hotel, London, June 17, re-
lative to the new dock bill now pending before parliament.
The letter stated,
in substance, that the decision of the com-
mittee was that the council should have an equality of mem-
bers in the committee; that on the appointment of chairman
and the members of the committee, no determination had
been arrived at, but that it was understood the veto was to
remain undisturbed. The letter then stated that a confer-
ence had been held that morning with the opponents of the
bill as to an arrangement to save expense, and that the op-
position might cease; another meeting was to be held in the
afternoon, but it being. doubtful whether an arrangement
would be made, the chairman stated that he could not enlarge
upon it.—The secretary then read a return by the treasurer
of the amount expended in the prosecution of the bill, from
December to the 15th of June : the amount was stated to be
£2,592 2s. Bd.—Mr. Gladstone : That is the cash expended?
Mr. Horsfall: That is the treasurer's returns which was or-
dered last week. The committee then separated.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT KNOWSLEY.-011 Monday
morning, at an early hour, one of the servants of the Earl of
Derby was found in his bed, in one of the offices attached to
Knowsley-hall, with his throat cut in a most shocking manner.
The alarm of the inmates of the noble mansion was, as
might be expected, very considerable, and the unfortunate
as was apprehended,
man, or victim, on being questioned,
was able to to say, that during the night two men, one of
them short and the other tall, entered his bed-room by the
window and demanded his money, watch,
&c., and on his
refusal to comply with they request, they drew what he
thought was a razor across his throat, and inflicted all but a
fatal wound. At first his statement excited no doubt what-
ever of its truth, and messengers were dispatched to Prescot
and Liverpool for the police. Mr. Earl, however, on having
search made, and the butler having further questioned him,
were led to think that the act was that of the individual ,
him-
self, and not that of robbers or assassins. 'They were con-
firmed in this opinion by finding that no robbery had been
committed, and that there were no traces of any one having
entered the apartment. His watch and money were all safe,
but one of his razors was missing. This

found covered with blood behind a chest in the room, and
upon its production the unfortunate man confessed that there
was no truth in his first statement, but that the attempt on
his life was made by

man, but eccentric in his habits, and it is a great relief to
the inmates of the hall that- he has confessed the fact, for

distressing suggestions and reports. The unhappy man is
attended by a surgeon from Presoot, but he is by no means
out of danger.—[Our Prescot, correspondent has furnished
us with the following particulars in reference to this distressing
case :—" The Courier of to-day. contains an account of the
occurrence at Knowsley, and as far as I call learn the acount

otherwise, I will transmit you an account of the inquest. It
is something remarkable that Mr. Hnline, (brother of the
person in question) who is also a servant at Knowsley, cut
his own throat some years ago ; but he recovered, and is still
alive."]

has been appointed Aid-de-Camp to Lieut.-General Sir R.

GENTLEMEN,-It has always been a source of regret to the
class of conservatives to which I belong—the tradesmen's
body—that we are condemned week after week to have our
characters, our principles, and our objects misrepresented
by a base whig-radical press, which meets us at every turn,
and whose libels we have no means of refuting. It is true
we have conservative papers, conducted with talent, and pos-
sessing information infinitely superior to those of our oppo-
nents ; but from their very character, these papers find no
circulation amongst that class of our fellow-townsmen, by
whom low and scurrilous attacks upon private character, and
fraudulent perversions of the principles of public men and
measures, are the most greedily swallowed. The poison
spreads into every alley and every pothouse throughout
the town. It is vulgar and nasty, and therefore fitted for
such localities. But the antidote, however powerful, rarely
reaches the wound which has been created. We are oppos-
ing a rapier against the bludgeon of a ruffian, and fight at as
great odds as a gentleman in ball-room costume meets when
resenting_ an insult offered by a nightman, fresh out of a
" sough."
There must be some reasons for this great inequality in
the respective power of whig-radical and conservative press
to serve their party. There must be some reason for the
fact that whilst the one press—the whig-radical—thrives and
laughs, the other can barely keep above water, and not always
do that. The circulation of the whig press is much greater
than that of the conservatives ' • but why is this so ? Are
conservatives so niggardly as to hesitate between the trifling
expense of supporting a respectable and constitutional press,
and allowing their opponents to libel and laugh at them with
impunity ? Shame if they be so.
The real reason of this inequality, I can believe, is, that the
whig papers contain a greater quantity of advertising intelli-
gence than the conservative, and are, therefore, bought and
read, from business necessity, by thousands of good conser-
vatives. To the conservative gentlemen of Liverpool this is
not a creditable fact, because I know that a great portion of
the property and trade of Liverpool is in the hands of the
party to which they belong. Let these gentlemen advertise
with their own party, and the conservative tradesmen of Li-
verpool will support their press, instead of one from which
they reap nothing but insult and slander in return. The
tradesmen and operative conservatives support you, gentle-
men of Liverpool, in your parliamentary and municipal
struggles—support them, by giving them a powerful press ;
we have already a talented one, to defend our characters
from the attacks of our opponents.—l remain, gentlemen,
respectfully, your obedient servant,
A CONSERVATIVE TRADESMAN.
