THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

sugar ? How defend the differential duties upon
foreign and 'colonial timber ? These, and other si-
milar duties, devised for the protection of British
industry from foreign competition, must be swept
away; and then will come the question of the re-
venue. How are the five or six millions extracted
from the Customs to be replaced ? By an increased
tax upon income property, we presume ; for we can
see no other source to which we can look with any
degree of confidence. That the nation, at large,
will cheerfully submit to this imposition, as the price
of their cheap loaf, or cheap sugar, is doubtful. It
has winced unmistakably at the tax, as at present
fixed, as oppressive and inquisitorial ; and that dou-
bling it will take away or mitigate these, its unpo-
pular features, is scarcely consistent with probabi-
lity or common sense. It will require all Sir Ro-
bert's cleverness and plausibility to persuade us that
we are not paying too dear for our whistle, when
we give it for the permanence and increase of the
tax in question.
Along with these difficulties of the position, into
which Sir Robert Peel has brought his ministry,
are several which are by no means to be lightly re-
garded. The settlement of the Oregon question
will require delicate handling ; and Ireland is far
from offering an object of pleasant contemplation to
a minister. View the position of Sir Robert Peel,
as we will, indeed ; and it is one which any but a
bold man, or one reckless of consequences, would
regard with dismay and shrinking.!

We gave, in our last, a letter from Mr. Macau-
ley, M.P. for the city of Edinburgh, which very
satisfactorily accounted for the failure of Lord John
Russell's recent efforts to form an administration.
It was from no misgivings as to his own abilities
that his Lordship retired from the tempting prospect
before him of place and pay. The Rev. Sidney
Smith's estimate of his character is equally just, now
as at the time when it was first delivered. Lord
John would repeal the corn laws, or any other laws;
but Lord Grey upset the coach. The driver was
ready to mount the box, and drive to any place ;
but his leaders and his wheelers would not pull
amicably together. Unhappy-tempered Howick re-
fused to budge if Palmerston was allowed to carry
the seals of the Foreign-office; and the whole team
was obliged to be unyoked, and consigned, grum-
bling, to their empty stalls, to await another chance
of getting ingress to the more comfortable quarters
and plentiful provender of Downing-street.

There are few men, we believe, extent those im-
mediately interested, who are disposed to grieve at
the break-down. There are fewer still, perhaps,
who can see in the conduct of Earl Grey more than
an ebullition of his unfortunate temperament. For
ourselves, however, we are disposed to give his lord-
ship credit on this occasion for one of the only
deeds for which his country, in after years, will
have to thank him. His objection, we are informed,
was not to Lord Palmer-ton's being in the minis-
try, but to his occupying the foreign department.
It was not against Lord Palmerston, but against
Lord Palmerston's foreign policy. The world at
large coincides with him in opinion that, the acces-
sion to power at this juncture of a minister, so
haughty and aggravating in his treatment of the
representatives of foreign powers, would have been
an event to be deplored—a national calamity. It
would most certainly, have provoked a rupture
of our present friendly relations with France, and
overthrown the only ministry which has proved
itself capable of restraining the warlike propensities
of that unruly people. It would materially have in-
creased the difficulties of our position with respect
to the United States. In South America it would
most probably have interrupted the joint efforts
making by Great Britain and France, for the ter-
mination of the aggressive and devastating war
waged by Rosas against the people of Monte Video;
and throughout the world, wherever we have at
present friendly relations and mutually beneficial
intercourse, the evil genius of Lord Palmerston

would have introduced-exasperation, bickering, and
ultimate alienation.

We thank Earl Grey, therefore, for averting from
the country the infliction of so dangerous a diplo-
matist. It is a deed—whether intended or not—
which will weigh with the present generation, and
with generations to come, as a powerful set-off
against his lordship's unpleasant politics, and scarce-
ly less unpleasant manners.

THE CORPORATION SCHOOLS.—An evening school for
adults is-about being opened by the Education Commit-
tee of the Town Council, in connection with the South
Corporation School.
At the meeting of the councti to-morrow, Mr. Alder-
man Bramley Moore will bring forward a motion for the
granting of five hundred guineas, for the Dispenoaries,
out of the surplus fund. We sincerely hope it will be
carried.

TITHE COMMITTATION.—It appears from an official
statement of the averages for the seven years to Christmas
last, which have been published in the London Gazette,
viz . : —Wheat 7s. 4d., Barley 4s. 11d., Oats 2s. 9d. per
imperial bushel ;—that each £lOO of rent-charge will, for
the year 1816, amount to £lO2 17s. W., or about one per
cent. less than last year.

NOTICE.—At the police-court, yesterdsy, a man was
charged with stealing a sack of oats, which was found in
his cellar, in Simpson-street. The property was identi-
fied, and he would have been committed forthwith for
trial ; but as it was stated by other witnesses that about
20 lb. of yellow berries (a valuable dye), and 7 lb. of fo-
reign cigars, were also found in the place, and for which
owners had not yet been found, he was remanded, to give
time for enquiry.
IMPORTANT TO VOTERS FOR COUNTIES.—We are
confidently informed that a bill is in preparation, and will
be brought forward early in the ensuing session of parlia-
ment, the object of which is to prevent the same house
or other property giving the right of voting for counties to
more than two persons at the same time. We do not
know whether the bill will have a retrospective effect or
not ; if it should, the labours of the Anti-corn-law League
will have been almost in vain.

QUALIFY ! QUALIFY !! QUALIFY ! ! !—Votes are the
most powerful of arguments ; and if the Protection Soci-
eties would be useful bodies, they will immediately take
steps to multiply votes ! If they would compel a govern-
ment by a gentle restraint to adopt, or would support it
in the pursuit of, a particular line of policy, let the Con-
servatives make their opinions known through the number
and the unmistakeable tone of their votes. The electors
rule representatives, and the representatives guide the
minister. There is no time to be lost. A general elec-
tion is at hand ; and unless qualifications are secured by
the 31st instant, the effort will be too late.
ALGERlA.—Despatches have been received from this
quarter to the 25th ult. They announce that on the 18th
General Bedeau had a warm engagement on the left bank
of the Iser, with Ben Salem, who had advanced within
sight of Algiers. The Arabs were completely routed,
with the loss of 40 killed, and in their flight abandoned a
quantity of arms and ammunition. In the province of
Oran General Korte accomplished some successful razzias,
which were followed by the submission of numerous
tribes. Marshal Bugeaud was at Ain Paskeira, eight
leagues from Teniet-el-Had, where he had proceeded to
procure a supply of provisions with the intention of form-
ing a junction with General Joussouf, who was still in
pursuit of Abd-el-Kader in the south.
OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PDETENCES.—A.
well-dressed young man, named John Martin Kelsh, was
yesterday charged before Mr. Rushton with this offence.
It appeared that he had gone to Mr. Joseph Blain, sta-
tioner, South Castle-street, and obtained a loan of 2s. 63.
in the name of Mr. Lockett, merchant, King-street, He
had also obtained 2s. from Mr. Isaac Jones Drillmore,
watchmaker, Hanover-street, in the name of Mr. Smith,
wine-merchant. The representations made were, in
each case, that he was in the employ of the parties named,
and that it was wanted for an immediate immergency or
convenience to save time. Neither of the parties whom
he said he represented had authorised the request, nor,
indeed, knew aught of the prisoner. The prisoner, who
attempted an impudent and improbable defence, was com-
mitted for trial at the sessions.
At a meeting of the London Dock Company last week
it was resolved that a piece of plate of the value of £3OO
be presented to the chairman of the court of directors, the
deputy chairman, and treasurer; and that to each of the
directors a piece of plate of the value of £lOO be presented,
as a testimony of the high approbation of the court of pro-
prietors. [We should be proud to see some movement
made for presenting similar testimonials to the chairman,
deputy chairman, and other mumbers of our owu dock
committee. Their comprehensive views and practical de-
termination to meet, and even anticipate, the wants,of
the port are beyond all praise, and ought not to be fof=
gotten. The effective services of the secretary, treasurer,
and surveyor, are also deserving of suitable acknowledge-
ment. The directors and officers of the London decl.
company cannot have been more efficient than the gentle-
men to whom we have taken the liberty thus publiclY to
allude.—ED. L. s.:l,
THE FATALITY BY THE BURSTING OF THE HUGE
TANK IN WATER-STREET.—We regret to say that
another has been added to the list of those who have lost
their lives by the tank catastrophe,—Ann Devaney, wie
of Joseph Devaney, who inhabited a house in Rock-
street. At the time of our last publication, hopes were
(as we stated) entertained, at the Southern Hospital where
she then lay, that she would recover, but she afterwards
sank, and died on Saturday. The event involved, of
course, another coroner's inquisition, which was to takeplace yesterday ; but in consequence of the verdict given
in the former cases, arising from the same cause, having
been somewhat severely commented upon publicly, and
the witnesses in this case not being conveniently got
together in time, (with such other additional evidence as
may be deemed necessary to satisfy all parties interested)
the inquiry was postponed until this day. We have heard
but by mere rumour only, that the coroner himself has
jury
not put into a false position by his charge to the
not having been reported, Some additional evidence as
to the efficiency of the tank, and on other points will, we
learn, be adduced.

CUSTOMS REVENUE OF THE PORT OF LIVER-
POOL FOR THE YEAR ENDED STH JAN.,1816.

The Customs Revenue of this port, for the year ended
yesterday, we are enabled to state, has produced, as nearly
as can at present be made out, the sum of £3,433,112,
against -£4,487,661, the amount received last year, thus
shewing a deficiency during the past year of £1,054,552.
This would be a disheartening fact, as leading to the con-
clusion that the commerce of the port has declined in
proportion to the customs revenue, were it not capable of
being fully explained ; and to prevent any such misunder-
standine arising we proceed to shew how the deficiency in
question has arisen. On the Bth of May, 1845, a bill received
the Royal sssent repealing the duties upon a variety of raw
materials, including the important item of cotton wool, a
quantity of dyes and minerals furniture woods, &c. It
came into operation, however, by an order in council on the
20th March, and the act has, therefore, had upwards of
nine months' effect upon our customs. The article of
cotton wool alone produced last year to, the customers of
this port about £600,000. From this source, therefore,
we may safely set down a loss of nearly £500,000 during
the nine months, or little short of half the deficiency. The
other articles upon which the duties were repealed, about
200 in number, will make up a considerable portion of
the balance, though probably not the whole. For the re-
maining deficiency, therefore, we look to the alteration in
the sugar duties, which, with several others provided for
by the tariff act of the previous year. only came into full
effect during the past twelve months. The loss of the
revenue from these will more than make up the entire
deficiency. In addition, however, it is known that the
amended corn law has not this year produced so much as
last year. Taking all these concurrent circumstances,
therefore, into considerrtion, it is satisfactory to be able
to assure ourselves that so far from any decrease in the
commerce having taken place it has increased, and shows
every sign of extendinc, itself still further. That this is
the opinion of men better able to judge than ourselves,
the efforts now making to provide increased dock and
other accommodation for our shipping abundantly proves.

CHURCH EXTENSION MEETING IN TOXTETH
PARK, LAST NIGHT.

A. meeting of the Operatives of Toxteth-park, was held
last night, in St. 13tide's School-room, Grey-street, con-
vened for the purpoie of promoting the movement for
Church Extension in the districts of St. James's, and St.
Thomas's. Although the circulars were addressed to the
operatives particularly, we were glad to observe a fair
sprinkling of the leading tradesmen and gentry of the
neighbourhood present. On the motion of Mr. Chilton,
the Chair was taken by Mr. Glazebrook, one of the
Councillors of Toxteth; who called upon the Rev. D. D.
Stewart to ask a blessing, after which he opened the
business of the evening in an appropriate speech, and
then called upon the Rev. H. Hampton, incumbent of
St. James's, to address the meeting.
The Rev. Gentleman, in a most eloquent speech, to
which, in the crowded state of our columns, we regret
that we cannot do justice, laid before his hearers the im-
possibility of the clergy of the district performing their
duty to their own satisfaction, or to the advantage of reli-
gion, from the impossibility of their visiting flocks so dis-
proportionately 1 arge compared with the number of pas-
tors. He referred to the zeal which members of the
League and other parties displayed for the accomplish-
ment of political objects ; and called upon the merchants
of Liverpool to make similar efforts for the advancement
of religion and morality amongst the people. After an
energetic appeal to the operatives to put their shoulder to
the wheel and to help themselves—for the cause he told
them was their own. He concluded by advising them to
make an effort in the first instance to erect a church in
Harrington, the worst and most destitute neighbourhood
in the district.

The Rev. WALTER BUTLER, Incumbent of St. Thomas's,
after an able and feeling appeal, gave some most startling
evidences, derived from his own experience and observa-
tion, as to the gross ignorance and irreligion which pre-
vailed in his district. _ _

The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr.
Keates (Newton, Lyon, and Co.), and by Mr. J. Torr,
the treasurer, who laid down, for the guidance of the
operations present, the best mode in which they might
advance the good work. The Rev. D. D. STEWART fol-
lowed in a most eloquent speech, in which he showed that
the Gospel is not preached until every man is provided
with a seat in the house of God, which he can call his own,
and with a paster to advise with him and to be his friend
in all the difficulties of life. Mr. Stewart gave a most in-
teresting account of his own exertions in the neighbour-
hood, and concluded by paying a deserved compliment to
the operations who had met at the Toxteth Hall. and had
since volunteered so excellent a canvas of part of the
district as to take half the labour off their hands.

Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the
meeting separated.

AMOUNT OF BRITISH AND FOREIGN TON-
NAGE SAILED OUTWARDS FROM LIVER-
POOL DURING THE YEARS 1843, 1844, & 1845.

From a valuable compilation, made by Mr. Court, Se-
cretary to the Underwriters' Association of Liverpool,
we gather the following

Vessels

British. Foreign. British. Foreign.
Sailed outwards, 1813.. 2624 1092 .. 760,056 448,999
Do. 1844.. 2956 1028 .. 869,359 391,734

Do. 1845.. 2860 1232 .. 895,198 469,387
There has thus been a❑ increase in the number of British
vessels, from 1843 to 1845, of 236, and of foreign vessels
in the same period of 140. The increase of British ton-
nage has been 134,142 tons, or upwards of one-sixth in
the two years; the increase in foreign tonnage 20,388
tons, or less than one-twentieth.

We give, as likely to be of interest to our readers, the
clearances outwards to the following places for the past

year:--

The merest glance at the above will show how all-im-
portant to our shipping interests are those British colo-
nies, and those ancient allies of this country, whose con-
nection with us it is the fashion of our modern political
economists to treat as worthless.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

have just heard a fact which is so remarkably
illustrative of Mr. M'Neile's sensible and practical argu-
ments against the "Alliance," that I think you will be
doing good service to the cause of ecclesiastical good
order defended by that reverend gentleman, if you will
give insertion to it in your valuable journal. It is this :
A dissenting minister of some note in this town, who was
present at the late meeting of the alliance at the amphi-
theatre. has since refused to pay his quota of church-rate.
When remonstrated with upon the subject and pressed
by the apostle's injunction to give tribute to whom tribute
is due, he defended himself on the plea that though bound
by the scripture to pay tribute for secular matters, he
could not, with a safe conscience, submit to this ecclesias-
tical impost. Yet, doubtless, he is ready to join the forth-
coming meetings of the alliance, and to speak honied
words to churchmen. How can members of the estab-
lished church be so deluded as to imagine that a so-called
alliance with such men can have any other result than to
add to our unhappy divisions by separating churchmen
from churchmen? Is not this the resuit really desired by
many, that in the end, the church of England may be
more and more weakened ? If we had a general election
month, would not a large majority of the dissenting mem-
bers of the alliance support Romanist, or Soci Lian, or in-
fidel candidates, if they were voluntaries and free-traders,
in opposition to really Christian men, if they were con-
scientious and zealous churchmen? _

No doubt of it.—l am, sir, with awakened jealousy for
our venerable establishment, yours, &c.,
