THE STEPHEN WHITNEY

This splendid vessel, which left New York on the 15th ult.,
arrived here on Saturday evening. In the temporary absence
of Captain W. C. Thompson the command of the vessel

•
devolved upon Captain Popham, who so satisfactorily dis-
charged the duties of his situation as to elicit the following
gratifying testimonial from the passengers on board :
SIR,—In the absence of the worthy commander of the
Stephen Whitney, whose place yen have so efficiently filled,
we, the passengers on bOard, have much pleasure in ex-
pressing to.you the sense we entertain of the constant zeal,
kindness and courtesy which you have manifested for the
comfort and enjoyment of each and all your passengers,
during their short and pleasant voyage. The arrangements
of the ship we consider excellent, and the untiring assiduity
of your steward, with the orderly discipline of the crew,
worthy of our merited commendation. We also gladly avail
ourselves of the present occasion to express our highest
approbation of the ;gallant conduct displayed by Captain
Thompson and yourself, on a previous voyage, in rescuing,
at the peril of your own life, several British subjects from
impending death. This act of heroism, we are happy to find,
has been noticed by the Queen of England, through her
Majesty's consul at New York. With best wishes for your
welfare, we remain, your sincere friends,
_ (Signed by 27 passen•ia.)

To Charles Wilkes Popham, Esq.,
Commander of the packet-ship Stephen Whitne

Dated at sea, St. George's Channel,
June 4, 1841.

To this Captain Popham returned the following reply

DEAR SlR,—Permit me to acknowledge the receipt,
through your hands, of a note, signed by the passengers on
board the vessel under my command, and to express my deep
sense of the kind manner in which they have been pleased to
notice my efforts to contribute to their comfort during the
passage. If, in performing my duty, it has been my good
fortune to secure their approbation, it will be to me a source
of great gratification, and will always be recurred to as one
of the most pleasurable events of my life.
Allow me to present to one and all my sincere thanks and
my heartfelt wishes for their health and happiness, and upon
the eve of parting to bid them God speed!

I am, dear Sir,
Your obliged and bumble servant,
CHARLES W. POPHAM

IMPORTANT COUNTY MEETING AT NEWTON

(From our Correspondent at Newton.)
On Thursday last, breathing with " hot haste," a messen-
ger arrived at the Legh Arms, at Newton, to enquire if a
room could be engaged for the following day, for the purpose
of holding a county meeting. An answer having been given
in the affirmative, en enquiry was then made of the number
of gentlemen likely to be present. The reply was about o 0
or 60. On Friday arrived from Liverpool Mr. William
Rathbone and Mr. Theodore itathtione, Mr. Lawrence Hay-
worth and Mr. Francis Jordan; Messrs. Thicknesse, from
Wigan ; a papermaker, from Bury ; Sir Thomas Potter, from
Manchester; and some twenty others, from other parts of
the county. The chairman having been appointed, Mr. Law-
rence Heyworth was propesed as the member for the county
on the liberal interest !!! A great deal of discussion follow-
ed, when the proposition was negatived, and it was deter-
mined to hunt the county up for a fitter man!
At the termination of the meeting the whole party " ab-
squatulated," and actually left the house without eating or
drinking, or even paying for the use of the room ! and on
the respected owner of the Legh Arms expressing something
like vexation at the trouble being given for nothing—one
conscientious corn-law-repealer turned back, and gave the
landlady a crown ! " Think of that, Master Brook." The
liberality of the persons constituting this GREAT COUNTY
MEETING has thus been proved to be astonishing. It was
said, at the meeting, that money was very scarce, and the
upshot showed that it was so.

TO MR. JOHN FIELDEN, M.P.

Snt,—ln the publication of your intended speech on the
sugar duties, after quoting from my report on the poor-laws
a passage relative to the handloom weavers, you add, "those
words were written by a man, who in the very same report
recommended the abolition of out-door relief to the people
whose poverty he described, but whose industry he ad-
mitted, and who recommended the workhouse test as a sub-
stitute."

Asa poor-law commissioner, I was an eye-witness in 1832
to the sufferings of the handloom weavers, in Lancashire,
and brought their condition under the notice of parliament
in a description, the force and truth of which you admit by
citing it. In the same report I bore willing testimony to
theirindustry, their patience,. and reluctance to apply for
relief. I should have deemed it useless vigour to subject
such a class to any workhouse test, and I disclaim having
made such a recommendation. The report which you assert
contains this recommendation is in your hands: cite from it
then, if you can, and confute me. If you fail to do so, I
must say, that in making this assertion you have taken an
unwarrantable liberty with me, and with the truth.
You also assert that I recommended the abolition of out-
door relief to handloom weavers. I deny it. I neither re-
commended the abolition of out-door relief to them, or to
any other class; having always been of opinion that such
relief, under the control of local vigilance and intelligence,
might be most extensively and satisfactorily administered.
These sentiments are expressed in the following passages of
the report in question :
" The effect of the poor-laws re
charity may be seen to advant

;arded as a national
n Alanches

.er. The quan-

tity of distress and suffering alleviated is extremely great,
and it is a satisfactory part of the management that many

poor widows, with faiiiiies, aged, and infirm persons, are en-
couraged and aided in their schemes for keeping shops, &c.,
which tern their industry to the best account."

" The tendency of the population to resort to and accumt
late in towns is peculiarly strong in this county, and, conse-
quently, almost every town contains a large population of
poor, with country settlements. When such persons be-
come chargeable, the usual course is to apprise the overseer
of the place of settlement, who, if the liability is clear, gives
a direction to the overseer where the pauper is, to relieve
him as one of his own poor, and undertakes to pay the sum
so advanced. This system is unquestionably open to abuse,
and some check by visitation is requisite, but on the whole
it operated beneficially to the country townships. By mu-
tual candour and fair dealing between the overseers, litiga-
tions and removals are diminished, the poor are less har-
rassed, and probably are less burthensome, as the) are gene-
rally better able to earn a living where they remain."
These passages show that the report is far from being op-
posed to out-door relief in general ' • and as to the particular
case of the handloom weavers, half of the very page, from
which you quote, is occupied by arguments in favour of the
practice of allowing them out-door relief. That practice is
also repeatedly sanctioned, so far as my humble opinion
could sanction it, by the commendation bestowed on the ma-
nagement at Manchester, at Wigan, and other places where
it prevails. In the borough which you represent this prac-
tice is thus noticed—" The affairs of the poor, at Oldham,
have long been well managed, and the inhabitants have never
been degraded by extensive pauperism. The members of
the select vestry, carefully chosen from different parts of the
township, usually perform personally the duty of visiting the
poor at their abodes, by which means they are able to exer-
cise on the cases relieved an exact discrimination, to which
the excellent condition of the township is mainly to be
ascribed. After providing for the aged, sick, widows, with
families, and the usual dependants on parochial aid, the
handloom weavers require their principal attention. They are
said to be reluctant to apply for relief, but are generally
compelled to come when they have three or four children
under the age, (ten years,) at which children can find em-
ployment in the cotton mills. The select vestry has taken
great pains to shift these weavers to more profitable occupa-
tions. Situations have been procured for many of them in
power loom factories ' • their families have been provided for
in the township, whilst they were learning to work at the
looms, which requires about a fortnight. Thus their num-
bers have been diminished, as the power looms, of which
there are now several thousands in Oldham, increase in
numbers, and there is reason to expect that handloom
weaving, of a coarse description, will be gradually extin-
guished at Oldham. The weavers here are considered an
orderly and industrious class."
The report states, that the poor rates in Lancashire had
been greatly augmented by the transition from hand to power-
loom weaving; and that the fall of wages of hand-loom
weavers, in the course branches, had followed, as the natural
consequence of an invention, which compelled manual labour
to compete with steam power. As the result of such com-
petition could not be doubted, the report commends the
efforts made to procure for those weavers new occupations,
and urges the weavers to embrace them ; observing, that
" The prospect of that part of the country is indeed me-
lancholy, if hand-loom weavers, with youth, strength, and
opportunities, reject the means of independence, and are
suffered to remain burthensome to the public. The former
occupation is gone for ever, and it is only by exerting them-
selves, in new walks of life, that they can reasonably expect
to be raised from their present abject condition." In the
same spirit, after detailing the miserable manner in which
they lived, I added, " This statement proves the necessity of
relief, but it ought, at the same time, to caution overseers
against the danger of perpetuating such wretchedness by a
system of bounties in the shape of parish allowances. H and-
loom weaving, in its coarse branches, is completely super-
seded, as a profitable employment, and ought to be abandoned
with all possible despatch. It is gratifying to observe that
the number of weavers is diminishing (though in various
degrees) in all large towns ; that few young persons there
are now brought up to weaving ; few new looms are made,
and nothing is more common than to see a solitary weaver
working amidst vacant looms which have been deserted fen
other occupations."
In thus describing the hopeless condition of the weavers
in the course branches of manufacture, I fall under the bat
of your assertion that " It is nonsense to call hand-loon
weaving a worn-out trade." The experience, however, o
eight years since the report was made has tended to confir.a
my opinion ; and in your proposed remedies, if carried int,
effect, I can see no sufficient grounds for altering that opinion
I, therefore, do not regret my attempt to impress on th
overseers, and alsfp on this most numerous and destitute clad
of weavers, the propriety of effecting a change in the
employment as speedily as possible.
There is nothing in the advice which can interfere with ar
fair claim for out-door relief, or justify the representations
which you have made, and coupled with the name of
Your obedient servent,
GILBERT HENDERSON.

SHIPMASTERS' ASSOCIATION

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Sia,—l have noticed, with considerable interest, the
rise and progress of the Shipmasters' Institution in this
town, and amongst the many laudable objects of that
establishment, I noticed at its commencement, as one
of them, the improvement in class and character of
the sailor. To accomplish this object, they have com-
menced a shipping office, but on such principles as
will only defeat its own object. I will venture, therefore,
through the medium of your valuable paper, to call the atten-
tion of that association to some ideas which, in my humble
opinion, would tend to the improvement of the moral charac- •
ter of sailors, and be hailed by all respectable shipowners as
the best method by which they can have their ships satisfac-
torily manned. The present competition between shipping
office keepers of this port, and the consequent league between
them and boarding-house keepers, is carried on in such a
deplorable manner, that our young and inexperienced sailors
are deluded into the most distressing circumstances ; and
even many of the more matured class of seamen under the
notion of the landlord having considerable interest with the
shipping-office keeper is induced to become a willing dupe to
the well-known practice of the boarding-house keeper and
the " crimp."
The remedy of this palpable, this crying evil amongst our
brave, hard, but ill-protected seamen, is in the hands of the
shipowner. And I flatter myself not one of them will be so
regardless of either their own interest or the interest of the
sailors, as to disregard any truly English and liberal plan by
which these men might be rescued from such deplorable
thraldom. I would suggest, therefore, that a respectable,
competent examining officer be appointed by the ship-masters'
association, at & fair salary, with as many active, respectable
young men under him, as may, from time to time, be required
for the purpose of seeing the men on board, &c. That no
charge be made to the sailor for providing him with a ship ;
but that the owner of the ship pay 2s. or 2s. 6d. for each
man put on board, and whatever might be the nett proceeds
over and above the actual expenditure, that they be paid into
some charity, at the discretion of the committee, most
closely connected with the benefit of sailors. By these
means: at least, the good would be separated from the bad,
because any good and steady sailor would save his half crown
which he has now to pay, and secure himself a ship and em-
ployment through this institution, whilst the careless, regard-
less, and those without character, would still be found in the
hands of shipping-office keepers. The ship-owner would
also know the real character of the men put on board, whe.•
ther landsmen, ordinary seamen, or whatever class he may
be, the truth would be known to the captain; a matter, it
must be admitted, of vast importance. It now frequently
happens, that a ship goes to sea under the supposition that
all the crew are sailors, and the error is not discovered until
some special and urgent duties call them to the test; this
may happen before the ship has well passed the dangerous
banks contiguous to this port; and there have been some in-
stances of ships being obliged to return to the river in the
best manner they could, to get more efficient crews, and it
may not be too much to infer that both ships and lives have
been lost from this cause ; frequently others have proceeded
with men (on their articles) as able seamen, but who have
)een comparatively useless during the voyage, and yet fed at
he owner's expense ; and supposing the captain or owners
bring the cause before the magistrate (on the ship's return),
some wages are almost always awarded, though the ship has
suffered in a two-fold degree by these men having been at all
on board the ship. This frequently happens, and if it can lie
so managed that the captain actually knows the kind and de-
scription of men that are put on board his ship, I contend,
that though the owners would pay 2s. 6d. per man, instead of
one shilling as they now pay, they would benefit largely by
the kindness so shown to the sailors, and poor Jack himself
would save his hard-earned half-crowns. Besides, protection
would be given to the good and deserving sailor, whilst the
bad ones would be detected in time to prevent a fraud being
practised, alike upon the owner and upon those good sailors
who have to perform too often double duty on their account.
I must beg you will call the attention of that respectable
body, the Shipmasters' Association, to this important subject.
and 1 trust they will, without delay, make public their inten.
tions thereon. In conclusion I would remark, that Isom(
well-defined and efficient plan should be adopted for cashiffi
sailors' notes ; that the respectable boarding-house keepe
may be in no wise injured by the adoption of the plan recoui•
mended above.—l am, Sir,

LORD SANDON AND MR. CRESSWELI

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND4ID.

SlR,—The appoaehing general election ought to pnt men
upon the consideration of principles. When it is argned
that Idrd Sandon and Mr. Cressrell ought not to be is-
turned again as the members for this bcrongh—one because
he is lord, and the other because he is a lawyer—a case kas
arisen for reference to principles by tie friend); tkose

estimable gentlemen. On general pr
purpose to treat of the matter of their
letter, with which I take the liberty of trc___ ,
1 shall, for the present, defer the consideration of Lori
Sandon's qualifications. That he is a lord is no objection at
all, with all deference to the dogmas which old Cal. Williams
is in the habit of setting up. His lordship possesses that te
which the addition of a title certainly gives more influence,
but which, without the title, would, in this country, make
the way to one. Never let it be forgotten, that the highest
ranks in our aristocracy—an aristocracy unequalled in for-
tune, intellect, and energy by any of any age or nation—are
open to all who possess the ambition, united with the neces.
nary activity, to enter upon the golden path. Lord Bandon
is just such a man as would have achieved these honours;
that he has been born to them is indeed " an accident of
fortune ;" but because he is the subject of such au accident
is no reason why he should not have a honest desire to serve
his constituents. These are only a very few suggestions which
I recommend to enter into a consideration of principles;
others which shall embrace a larger latitude I purpose, Mr.
Editor, to defer till a future number of your useful paper.
As to Mr. Cresswell, it seems that it is kis misfortune te
be a lawyer. Until Lord Palmerston and Sir Joshua Welles-
ley were thought of as the members for Liverpool, people
were in the habit of deeming clients rather than lawyers
unhappy, and to condole with one with much more sincerity
than the other, when they were dismayed at the approach of
some impending calamity. It is of course nothing that Mr.
Cresswell has fought his way through a host of competitors,
whose talents need no praise, to a station which the majority
of our judges have not had the power to hold. It is of
course nothing that he is possessed of powers of uncommon
application, preventing him from having his attention dis-
tracted by any multiplicity of business, and a mind which
enables him to grasp the most comprehensive subjects in all
their details with a tenacity more than equal to all their
complexity. It is of course nothing that he is of invaluable
assistance to his noble, and I hope future colleague, in the
consideration of all legal matters appertaining to Liverpool.
It is of course nothing th,t lie is, almost without exception,
the most rising man of the day, for a comparatively young
one, and rapidly winning his way to the very highest offices
a subject can hold. It is of course nothing that he is mi.
nutely acquainted with the history, manners, religion, and
interests, internal as well as external, of his country. All
these are as nothing, because Mr. Cresswell has had the
misfortune to be bred a lawyer, and to have become an emi-
nent lawyer, too. The fact is, that some lawyers of less
repute have had more to do in depreciating the merits of
the learned gentleman than most people are aware of. Pro-
bably, Mr. Editor, you will understand this allusion.
As to lawyers having seats in parliament, that question
has been long set at rest, and why Mr. Cresswell's opponents
should attempt to revive such exploded doctrines, I cannot
conceive, seeing that the world ♦ery generally had give*
them credit for being what is called " liberals." The same
objection, with variations that an ingenious man would find
no difficulty in making, might serve against corn dealers,
sharebrokers, railway speculators, and also speculators in
national offices, of which class, hitherto without an appro.
priate name, there is no lack in this country. The true
design of the objection is what is called " elap-trap," a term
that explains itself, and will be best understood by these who
make most use of it. The cry for a repeal of the corn-laws,
for an abolition of church rates, for the ruin of our West
Indian colonies, and many others prevalent at this moment,
each and all are a specimen of "clap-tray."
I have thus ventured to suggest one or two general prin-
ciples for the consideration of your readers ; and trusting
they will not be without their influence,—l am, Sir, years
most respectfully, PENSATOILS.

MY VEST DEMI, KNIGHT,—Whilst there is nothing whisk
I, in conjunction with her majesty's government, depreeste
more than the introduction of religions matters in politics,

yet I must confess that there is something important ia the
hint contained in your last despatch with reference to ay
personal opinions upon the subject of religion ; or rather, as
to which are the best to be adopted as canvassing opinions.
But I must drop the diplomatic tone. I would at ease pro-

that the Romanists themselves care much about the men,
provided they secure the measures which they require. Yon,

ourselves) I hate most cordially, although, as the old pro-

ment which is willing to wink at the doings of the ribbea
conspiracy in Ireland, and patronizes the repeal agitation,
whilst we have declared ourselves ready to deal "heavy
blows and great slisconragements" upon the Charch of Eng-
land. This, with the destruction levelled, by our anti-eorn-
law measure, against the Irish landlords, ought surely t•
satisfy old Mother Jezebel, as your M'Neile calls her, with-
out any conversion. I would make the saerifieo, however;
but I don't think there is much to be got by it!
I think the best canvassing topic for I'M, will be the
cheap bread cry and my foreign policy—(which, you must
admit, has been surprisingly lucky)—if that confounded
Eliot don't put his foot in it again, and let those pig-tailei
Chinese get the windward aide of him. That Lin, who
bamboozled him about the opium, was rather a sharp fellow,
considering he had not had the advantage of a regular diplo-
matic education, such as I ca• boast of; and this Yeshin
may be quite as slippery.

I have just received a letter from some of your local
" pathriots," as Dan calls them, whose name I don't at this
moment recollect, (but it had " secretary" at the end of it,)
requesting to know precisely what amount the Treasury will
allow for " resurrections" and for " making safe." I don't
know what he means by " resurrections"--suppose it's some
contrivance of those artful dogs, " their riverences"—but
am quite acquainted with the meaning of " making safe."
I have been practised upon myself in this line: Whoever ka
is, the fellow must be a most egregious puppy—(yen knew
the meaning of the word " egregious," Sir Joshua, from the
derivation e grege—but, by the way, I remember, your
Latinity is not cultivated fully)—his secretaryship, however,
must be a great noodle to suppose that " OLD PAU," as my
family call me, is to be caught in that way. No, me ;
