and despotism ; but in England, where every' man

proudly boasts of his freedom and independence, it
would be a libel on the national character so ut-
terly degrading, that no man was ever yet found
who professed to desire the ballot for himself.
It has been abundantly shown, in the total
absence of any agitation on the subject, that,what-
ever may be the defects of our present representa-
tive system, no reform is called for ; and that the
attempt now making by Lord JOHN RUSSELL to
do something, and endorsed by his quondam poli-
tical allies at Manchester, is a mere trading on
political capital to serve personal interests and
party views, without the slightest reference to the
welfare of the country or the promotion of good
government. If any alteration be needed, the only
way to make it beneficial is to carry out the spirit
of Radical professions, and that would be to extend
the electoral franchise in counties, and increase the
number of county representatives ; but to transfer
the privilege from the substantial householders in
small boroughs to the cotton spinners and weavers
of Lancashire towns, would be not only a positive
injustice, but such a retrograde step, that, none
but a Manchester man would have the unblushing
effrontery to make the proposal. If, however, the
demand be good for anything that Lancashire
should have fifty representatives, Liverpool should
have at least twenty representatives—ten, because
she is one-fifth in point of population, and ten more
because she is nearly equal to all the rest in pro-
perty, and far superior in intelligence. But Li-
verpool would return twenty Conservatives, and,
therefore, Mr. CoBDBN would only give additional
representatives to places where ignorance conceives
IliAßOhttSter fustian to be political wisdom.

Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1854-01-31

Such was the estimation in which David held the state of
unity and harmony among brethren, and such should be
our estimate also. By causing them to act together educa-
tionally by means of a board, formed upon just principles,
they would be strengthened in many ways ; commercially
and politically they would be stronger, and treated more
respectfully by other countries. All the world have pro-
tected themselves against our colonies because they belong
to us; but we have not protected them against the world,
in our legislation, for the last few years. No ;we have
ignored their claims upon us, and given the hand of fel-
lowship to the ungodly stranger ; avarice for cheap sugar
has made us inconsistent. But were the colonies bound
together in the way I have named, instead of building up
little hostile tariffs against one another, they would form
a union for mutual good. Many of them (the islands) are
little tropical gardens of great beauty.
If education is to be made effective in the colonies, the
office of the teacher must be held in proper esteem ; they
must be paid a sufficiency to keep them above the fear of
want, or the necessity of engaging in manual occupations.
In Germany, France, and other countries on the continent,
about the end of the last century, they had to devote their
leisure to occupations to eke out a living. Indeed, in our
country it was much the same. The shoemaker, miner, or
invalided soldier was generally the person performing the
office of schoolmaster. But this system has been strongly
condemned in Ecclesiasticus by him who profoundly un-
derstood human nature. Such men, he tells us, would
not be devoting their minds to the occupation of teacher,
but to other things. Speaking of a teacher, who devotes
part of his time to agricultural pursuits, he asks, " How
can he think of instruction who holds the plough, who
goads forward the lazy ox, and who can speak only of
cattle ? All his thoughts are absorbed in the labours of
husbandry, and by the cares of providing fodder for his
cows." _ .

Many things of importance, connected with this part of

EMBEZZLEMENT BY AN ATTORNEY.
At the Manchester police-court, yesterday, an attorney,
named Jonn Wickey Stable, formerly of London, was
brought up on a charge of having embezzled between.
£B,OOO and £9,000, the property of the Manchester, Shef-
field, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, for whom the
prisoner had acted in the capacity of solicitor. He was
brought up in charge of Daniel Forrester, the officer of
the Mansion House, London. It appears that Forrester
started from London with Mr. Ross, the secretary of the
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company,
on the 15th of March last, and traced Stable to Brussels,
where he and his family were supposed to be residing.
They lost trace of him there, but heard that he had gone
to another continental town supposed to be Frankfort.
Subsequently they traced him to Paris, and afterwards
to Bonn, in Germany. Forrester proceeded to Bonn, where
he succeeded in apprehending the prisoner on Good Friday.
The prisoner there passed ,under the name of George
Stephen. He was brought before the civil authorities of
Bonn on a charge of having assumed a false name, and
was adjudged to 14 days' imprisonment. On being
released from prison, being without a passport, he was
conveyed to Rotterdam, in the custody of Forrester, thence
brought by steamer to Hull, from which he was taken in
a special train to Manchester on Sunday night.
Mr. Ovens, barrister-at-law, who represented the Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company,
asked the magistrates to remand 'the prisoner for a week,
as several of the witnesses in the case were at present
engaged in London before committees of the House of
Commons.
The prisoner was remanded till Thursday next.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—This DAY.
We have to note the arrival into this port since Tues-
day last of a moderate quantity of Oats from Ireland, the
arrivals of other produce thence and Coastwise being
rather inconsiderable; the deficiency, however, is amply
made up by a liberal import of Wheat, partly from the
United States and Egypt, but principally from various
parts of the North and South of Europe, including a good
supply of American, French, and Spanish Flour, with
further fair arrivals of States and Egyptian Maize ; the
exports of the latter hence to Ireland continuing to exceed
the imports of the week considerably, while those of Flour
are tolerable in amount.
There was a moderate attendance of buyers at market,
and a sparing demand for Wheat at a decline of 4d. per
701 b. from the rates of this day week. Flour was in slow
demand at a reduction of 25. to 2s. 6d. per barrel. In
Oats and Oatmeal there was not much doing, but without
alteration in value. Indian Corn was a slow sale at a de-
cline of ls. per qr., but few good samples were offering. In
other articles very little doing, and prices almost nominal.

Captain Spencer declares boldly that the real
strength of the Russian autocrat consists not so
much in the seried " 'pillion of bayonets" he can
command as in the fears of the European rulers,
and their secret sympathy with him in his opposi-
tion to free political institutions, and in eloquent
terms he urges upon the British people to wage
the war now commenced with energy and power,
as a defence of freedom against barbarism and
despotic power. The book is well entitled to a
patient perusal, and will repay a careful study.

TIMBER.

LIVERPOOL—The imports during the week are corn-
prised of one cargo of deals from St. John, N.B. ; a parcel
of pitch pine from Savannah, U.S. ; and one cargo of
spars and poles from the North of Europe,—none of
which have yet been disposed of. For export, sales of
Colonial and Baltic deals have been made to a considerable
extent. The sales for the home trade have been lair during
the week, although the late heavy imports here have so
far deterred buyers, they fearing a continuance of the same.

at the weight. Well, then, he broke down.. Acrobat
having been ridden more on Newminster's account than
his own, was not ridden with that interest, was not
striven with in earnest, with that - sole intention of fen-
fling for himself, until Newminster's mishap. But for
this jockeyship Acrobat might have won as readily as
Newminster could, had not the latter broken down, and
there and then ending his career. Nor need I add how
all this is connected with what is under descantation, or
say that Dervish was so much better than either (at
certain weights) as to merit a confidence on the part of
his trainer, aye equal to that reposed in West Australian
last year. They are equally as sanguine of this victory,
though with Dervish, as they were last year with West
Australian ; and on this account (and "murder will out")
the former may see even a shorter price than was the case
with the latter last year. The long-cherished and oft
repeated' asseverations as to Acrobat need no further
refutation.

As to the horse Dervish, I am satisfied of his superiority;
as regards his noble owner, I am more than confident that
a more honourable man does not tread soil ; and as regards
the jockey, Templeman, I am as fully convinced of his
honesty as of his skill.
It will be seen therefrom that I have carefully weighed
all these points over, none of which can be found wanting
in any one particular; I then say, bar accidents, the vic-
tory of this year's " blue ribbon" is almost a certainty for

ABOLITION OF CHURCH-RATES.

IT is so seldom that we can find anything to
approve in the conduct of the ministerial leader in
the House of Commons, that we gladly seize the
opportunity afforded by the discussion on Tuesday
last. A motion was made for a Bill to abolish all
Church-rates, without encumbering the question
by any proposal for a substitute, and it received the
support of pseudo-Churchmen, with the usual array
of Radicals, Dissenters, and Infidels, of which,
unfortunately, the legislature has far too large a
proportion. Lord Jourr RUSSELL, however, to his
credit, opposed the scheme upon the intelligible
principle that churches were national structures,
and ought to be• maintained by the nation ; and
also, because he thought that any concessions made ,
to feelings hostile to the Church were not likely
to be satisfied by surrendering Church-rates. What
shall we say, however, of the heir of the house of
Derby, who, with great professions of zeal for the
Church, thought the amount in question too small
to be made a bone of contention, and willing, there-
fore, to leave the maintenance of national structures
to voluntary aid, voted for the abolition of Church-
rates ? When his father was called upon to assume
the most responsible office in the State, he avowed
that the sole object he had in view was, in the
beautiful language of the liturgy, "the safety,
honour, and welfare of our Sovereign and her
dominions ;" but the son must have sadly degene-
rated from the principles of the father, if he seeks
to accomplish his end by destroying the only means
of religious instruction afforded for the poor,
leaving it to the uncertainty, or rather certain
failure of the voluntary principle. To the credit of
Churchmen, they have been unceasing in their
exertions, and munificent in their contributions, for
the foundation of our churches k and yet this is
adduced as a reason why the public should be
saved from the paltry amount of rate required to
maintain the structures requisite for national wor-
ship. There is something so utterly absurd in the

AUSTRALIA.

The advices from Australia by the recent arrivals con-
firm the previous reports of the general increase in the
gold production. With regard to the import markets, the
late news brought by the rapid passage of the American
steamer Golden Age had created disappointment, owing
to the announcement of - continued shipments from this
country on a larger scale than had been anticipated. The
value of land was rapidly increasing. Among the vessels
with gold which had lately sailed were the South Sea to
London, with 5,420 ounces, and the Alfred, from Geelong
to London, with 10,378 ounces.
From Van Diemen's Land the dates are to the 18th of
February. The new gold discoveries in the Ben Lomond
district were attracting considerable attention. Here,
also, the value of land was greatly increasing, and in some
large sales lately made unprecedented prices had been
realized.
