TO THE EIII7'OR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Sia,—The foolish outer); that the conservatives are opposed
to all necessary reforms is disproved by the fact that they have,,
in the House of Lords and the House of Commons, supported
a law for reducing all portages to all parts of the kingdom to one
penny. -

•
This plan; bold and easily accomplished, was resisted by
Spring Rice, tire most miserable Chancellor of the Exchequer.
that ever cursed the country. The man surely cannot see an
inch before hiS nose.

Let us fur a motnent consider one case, and it will be quite
infficient Jo demonstrate the benefits of the new proposed and
he miseries of the old.

. .
Let us take a poor man, who leaves his friends, his sweet-
heart, or his brothers at home, and goes to another town, and
let. us conceive how deep an interest must be felt in his success.
Has he got a situation? Is he doing well? Is he well? But
no! a heatiy postage is laid on his simple but interesting tale.
He puts off writing, or he writes seldom. The interest his
friends take in him ffitgi. His sweetheart is beset by a present
lover, and forgets her distant and silent (silent because he can-
not aSird to he eloquent) swain. His brothers forget they have.
a brother, and why ? Because stupid Spring Rice cannot see
that eight pence are more than a groat.
. .
This reform is one of the first Sir Robert Peel will give the
country when he comes, and come he will, into power.

PENNY 'POSTAGE.

TREATMENT OF A STRANGER IN LIVERPOOL.

To THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST,lNDilliff:
Ste,—You will do a service to all gentlemen visiting the town
of Liverpool, and also to the society of Liverpool in general, by
insSrting the following statement.
I happened, some tone ago, to attend a hall at the Waterloo
Rooms, in Company wit ti some other gentlemen; and although
several friends interested themselves in searching for a partner
for me, the invariable answer was, that the lady was engaged,
eight, six, or fou'r deep, (acc6rding to the period of the even-
irrg.) I have been informed, that it is the practice in Liverpool
for the ladies to engage themselves( some dart before the ball
fur the entire ball evening, so that a comparative stranger in
the town has no opportunity of getting a partner. For my own
part, I was thus prevented from forming the acquaintance of
at least one young lady, whose appearance led me to seek an
introduction, and whin* I have never seen from that day to this,
and may probably never see again. -
Then, again, I am informed, that all the diffi'culties are not
removed even by getting a partner, for that unless you happen
to know another couple to form your ris-a-visin a quadrille, you
are no nearer a (lance than before. Now, Sir, if I were to say,
that the first of these practices was selfish (on the. part of the
geutlenieu,) and that the second was absurdly ridiculous. I
should probably say nothing inure than the
.circunistauces jus-
tify. But though the exclusion and aristocratic bearing of
Liverpool society may justify one couple in a quadrille in re-:
fusing to dance with an opposite couple in a public ball-room:
unless previously acquainted, what shall we say of the. rntroduc-
tion of this stupid formality into the house of a prirote individual.
Yet such, it appears, is the tact. Happening to be present at a
pirate ball lately, at the house of one of the elite of Liverpool
society, I took my place with my partner in a quadrille. After
standing for above a minute, and dancing being about to com-
mence, I was not a little surprised at an individual pushing
himself and partner in our front, and actually taking our places
most unceremoniously, and without any, explanation. Upon
my complaining of this conduct, the individual coolly observed,
that " it was arranged," meaning, I suppose, with the couple
whom we had been facing, to whom I certainly had not spoken,
but with whom I considered my partner and 1 were tacitly en-
gaged, as we had been facing each other for aboYe a minute,
before this flagitious breach of decorum (for such it.appears to
me) occurred. My first impulse was to treat this outrage upon
decency and good-breading (worthy-only of a pot-house) in 116
manner it deserved, by taking the indiviiktal by the collar, and
pushing him out of the quadrille as unceremoniously as he :had
entered it. It, however, occurred to me, that he might in strict-
ness be justified, accordint, to the rules of Liverpool society
have alluded to, and I accordingly retired with my partner from
the quadrille, and soon afterwards left in disgust a scene where
such outrages could be tolerated.
I am your obedient servant,
S. GENTLEMAN FROM LONDON ATTENDING
THE LIVERPOOL ASSIZES.

CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.

olden time."

of the House of Commons; may her graciotis Majesty .soon call
to her councils ministers who will preserve the constitution, and
restore tranquillity and content throngliont the empire." (Great
cheering.) Given with musical hinionrs.
The CHAIRMAN said he bad received a note from Mr. Cress-
well; and was sorry to'say that he could not come thy evening.
He would read to them the note he had received.
"Dear Sir,—lt is now eight o'clock, and lam still in court,
much fatigued, and suffering from a severe cough. lam sore,
therefore, my,friends will excuse me if I return to my lodgings
as soon as I sin released, instead of joining their party. 41Vittx
every good wish for the prosperity of their association,
"I remain, your's sincerely,
"C. CH ESSWELL."
The CHAIRMAN said, it was a great disappointment to them;
however, tht y must excuse Mr. CresSwell, if he was ill. He
then gave as a toast, " Nay other constituencies throughout
the kingdom follow our example, and give us the blessings of a
conservative representation!" Given with three times three
cheers, folloWed by a peal from the musical bells.
" The members for the county,"." the members for the bo-
rough," " Sir Robert Peel," anti a number of other toasts were
given ; and the harmony and hilarity of the company was kept
up till a late hour. .

service of plate has been presented to this gentlemen, in testi-
