THE BRAWLERS FOR EDUCATION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Sir,—l perceive, by your advertising columns, that the
subscriptions towards building a College in the good old
town is filling up most satisfactorily ; £3.1,000 having been
already subscribed, one-tenth of which (leaving out the
munificent gift of Mr. Gladstone,) is subscribed by the few
conservative members of the town council ; but where are
the names of the radical members of that council? where
are the subscriptions of the " lovers of education ?"—of the
canting brawlers for universal education—where are the
liberal personal subscriptions of those who lavish the corpo-
ration property in promoting popish and deistical education ?
Not one single, solitary name does there appear on the whole
list from among the tyrant majority of our liberal represen-
tatives ! !—Yours,
J. B.

Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-01-17

The tide of immigration is daily turning to this colony
people wbo understand not our; nor each other's language,
will ere long crowd upon us. How will the complicated
rules of society be observed in this Babel-like confusion of
tongues ? No amalgamation with the natives of this conti-
nent, or the rescued African, can take place without the
sympathy of a general oral communication. How can the
mutual jealousies likely to arise from this non-intercourse be
remedied, if the new denizens of our state have no common
" store of knowledge," whence they can attain a mastery of
the language of those with whom their fate is to be for ever
cast ?

• But, independent of this politic argument in favour of
education, there is another as powerful, namely, the present
immorality of our people, and which, we think, education
would most certainly remedy. Look at the " penal gang,"
as it passes through our streets ! Does one single man
exhibit the slightest sense of his degradation, or compunc-
tion for the crime which produced it ? No : with him the
moral effect of the punishment is lost, because he knows not
shame, and the penalty he pays is only appreciated by him in
proportion to the amount of labour to which he is con-
demned.

Would this be the result if the negro were educated ? As-
suredly no. Instruction would produce a feeling of sensi-
bility, and many a crime now looked upon without a fear of
mental abasement, or without reference to the opinions of
his fellows, would then be avoided with horror.
We have thrown out these few observations in the hope,
that the subject of National Education may he taken up by
more influential persons, and in the desire that the attention
of.our Legislature may be directed towards it. It is a sub-
ject more important than at first sight appears, for its effects
are not only immediate, but prospective. We are too fond
of living in the remembrance of the past, and not looking
forward to the future. To dwell with the past is the mistake
of him who, avoiding the living realities of this world, so-
journs in the misty region of his own abstractions. In the
language of the celebrated Dr. Phelan, " To watch and pro-
vide for those silent influences which time is continually
shedding ; to correct irregularities, some as they arise, others
in their causes ; to make every new measure a liberal ana-
logy from the past, and a safe precedent for the future, and
thus, while the parts are in unceasing flow, to secure the
continued stability of the system. These are the noblest

MILK PUNCH !

THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of, this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this
ELIXIR
is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
Lon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without' any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while

THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,
but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of

PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," • yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by age._

LE GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while be masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy"
is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

NEW WRITS.

New writs were ordered for the following places :—Daven-
port, in the room of Sir E. Codrington ; Birmingham, in
the room of Mr. T. tttwood, who has accepter'. the Chiltern
Hundreds; and Edinburgh, in the room of Mr. Macauley,
appointed Secretary at War.
On the writ being moved,
Mr. DISRAELI rose and said, that on the day of the pro-
rogation of the last session of parliament. he had upon what
principles of the new Cabinet would be constructed, and he
now begged to ask upon what principles it had been construct-
ed. (Hear, hear.) He thought the present a very proper
opportunity for giving the required explanations. Since the
Reform Act passed 12 members of the Cabinet had left it,
and he was really at a loss to know who were her Majesty's
ministers. (A laugh.) Perhaps the Cabinet ministers would
hold up their hands. (Laughter.) He now repeated the
question, and hoped he should get an answer.
The SPEAKER then put the question that the writ be issued,
which was agreed to without opposition.
New writs were also ordered for Periryn, Newark, South-
wark, Meath, Denbigh, and Beverley.

WANT OF CONFIDENCE IN MINISTERS.
Sir J. Y. BULLER gave notice that on Tuesday, the 28th
inst., he would move a resolution declaring the want of con-
fidence on the part of the house in the present administration.

rernment to put a stop to this infamous and demoralizing
system. The answer which he received was, that no steps
had been hitherto taken, and that Government thought the
" good sense" of the community would be a sufficient check
to the further spread of Socialism. The " good sense" cf
the country, indeed ! Is the " good sense" of the country a
sufficient check to the progress and development of Chart-
ism? Let experience answer. 'Why should it be inure suc-
cessful against so flatteringa system as that proposed by Robert
Owen and his infidel missionaries? The truth is that there
is a strong predisposition -in the natural mind to theirecep-
lion of the doctrines promulgated with so much assiduity by
these Socialists. Why should not the " good sense" of the
peqple be a sufficient barrier to the perpetration of • murder,
robbery, arson, or any other crime ? Why is the law armed
against the man who commits a petty larceny—who steals a
little old iron, or a few cabbages—while the criminal who aims
a deadly blow at the very vitals of the social compact is left
to revel unrestrained in his wickedness? Is this a Christian
country,
or is .•• 't not ? If it be, there can be no doubt as to
the propriety of putting down such enormities as those which
are recommended and practised by the Socialists.

The Bishop of Exeter's exposure of Owenism, we are
glad to see, extorted from Lord Melbourne the confession
that he had committed an act of " imprudence" in pre-
senting Robert Owen to her Majesty. Was it not his
duty to have ascertained the character of the man and
the nature of his writings before he committed himself and
compromised the Queen by such a proceeding ? We are
glad to find that Lord Melbourne has so much sense left as
to disagree with Lords Brougham and Normanby in the gra-
tuitous assumption that the gross absurdities of Socialism
rendered its doctrines innocuous. His reference to the
French Revolution, in proof of the power of falsehood; com-
bined with the grossest absurdity, was much to the point,
and told admirably against his colleague. Let Lord Mel-
bourne act upon his avowed convictions on this subject, and
we shall be satisfied.

We trust that good will result from the labours of the
Bishop of Exeter. We find that a series of Lectures against
Socialism is already announced to take place in the metropo-
lis. Among the lecturers we find the names of the Rev.
Robert Ainslie, the Rev. John Garwood, the Hon. and Rev.
W. B. Noel, Richard Matthews, Esq., Barrister at Law,
&c., &c. Would it not be well for the clergy of Liverpool
to commence a series of the same description?

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 24.

The inquiry from Exporters has been good throughout the week,
but the Spinners still buy cautiously ; and as the new crop of
American continues to be freely offered, prices have declined *d per
lb. East India is heavy of sate at the quotations, and Egyptian and
Brazil are again id lower. The sales by auction, consisting of 400
Sea Island and 380 Stained ditto, went off heavily ; of the Sea
Wand only 50 sold, at a decline of 3d to 4d, but 300 of the Stained
found buyers at a reduction of id p:r lb from previous rates. Ex-
porters have taken 2100 American and 50 Surat, and Speculators
6000 American, chiefly reported during the week as purchased for

TATTERSALL'S, TpURSDAY.

If the attendance was thinner, and business less brisk than
on Monday, it did not fail to ,realise a few changes of striking
interest.. Those in the Derby affected Muley Ishmael, Gle,
norchy, and the Lady Sarah colt ; and that in the Oaks, the
recently-made favourite, Black Bess. The odds quoted
against Lady Sarah' colt and Black Bess speak so clearly,
that it would be waste of time to dwell upon them. Glenor-
chy was priceless, simply because no one would back him :
it was rumoured that he is.amiss, and an offer to bet 5 to 2
on Maley Ishmael against him• Would give a colour to it ; but
nothing transpired of a sufficiently definite character to jus-
tify our vouching for the accuracy of the report. Muley
Ishmael was hacked at Iglo 1; and left off as good a favour-
ite as anything, bar Theon and Angelica, who remained pre-
cisely as on Monday, and were not backed. Launcelot ad-
vanced to 17 to 1, or takers of a point, more ; and Confede-
rate was repeatedly mentioned, not backed, at 18 to 1. Bok-
hara gave way a point;. and Wardan, although backed seve-
ral times, did not sustain the previous quotation. Grey
Milton rose to 30 to -1, takers ; and Chameau to 40 to 1,
layers. Nothing else occurred worth particular notice.

IRISH RAILWAYS.

On Saturday last a deputation, appointed at a meeting for
the promotion of railways in Ireland, held last wek, waited
upon his excellency the Lord Lieutenant at the castle, and.
having submitted certain resolutions to the effect that the
£2,000;000, originally propoSed by Lord Morpeth, should be
expended in forming main lines to the North, South, and.
West of Ireland, as far as the money would go, it was re-
solved :—That as
.private enterprise, unaided by the state,
does not appear to be capable of securing to Ireland the great
advantages of adequate railway communication, we do re=
spectfiilly press on Government the justice and expediency
of performing the work in the way best calculated for the
public good." His excellency stated to the deputation that
he would forward to the Government the resolutions of the
meeting, and his own favourable opinion thereon, with all
the influence he might possess. But he was decidedly in
favour of the plan recommended by the railway commission-
ers ; and there the matter rests.-LMMforniny Herald, Jan.
25 : 'Dttb/in Correspondenee.

NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.
The works in tole neighbourhood ofßelper are rapidly pro-
gressing, and in several,portions the.then are working night
and day. The permanent way is progressing very fast. The
Derby station is driving on with all speed, and the Leeds
station, :the letting of which has been postponed, will be let
in the course of a week:—Derby Mercury.

A, meeting of the Directors of 'the Maryport and 6arlisle
Railway was held•at Aspatrin on Saturday week, at which the
first report of Mr. Blackmore, the new. .engineer, ..vas read,
and from which it appeared that about seven miles of the line
will he ready for the conveyance of lime and coals in the
month of April next. We were also told that arrangements
were entered into with the owners of coalpits along the line,
and from a calculation made it is expected that full 10 per
cent. NAM the expended capital will be realised by this ft-elle
