FRODSHAM.

The day was celebrated at this spirited town with every
display of loyalty. The morning was ushered in by the firing
of cannon, and merry peals from the church bells, which
continued ringing at intervals throughout the day. At 12
o'clock a royal salute of 21 guns, and at 6 o'clock 19 guns
(in honour of her Majesty's age) were fired by Messrs. Pick-
ering, from their salt works. A grand procession was;formed
at Frodsham Bridge at half-past 12 o'clock, in the following
order, accompanied by numerous banners, flags, &c., the
gentlemen wearing white rosettes, favours, and medals; the
children of the various schools also wore medals and white
favours, presented to them by their several teachers.

Procession proceeded to the centre of the town, where a
Triumphal Arch was erected across the street; God Save
the Queen was sung by the whole company, at the conclusion
of which nine times nine cheers were given for Her Most
Gracious Majesty. The Procession then moved on on to
the Park Place, the scat of D. Ashley, Esq., and thence to
the Parish Church, when an appropriate sermon was preached
by the Rev. J. Turner, A.M., from the Second Chapter of
the First Epistle of Peter, Thirteenth and four following
verses. A suitable selection of hymns, (printed and distri-
buted by order of the Committee,) were sung. On return
from church, liule Britannia was sung under the triumphal
arch, the whole company joining chorus, after which nine
times ❑ine cheers were again given for the Queen. The wo-
men and children were regaled with tea, coffee, buns, &c.,
at the different schools; the men with the good old English
cheer of roast beef and ale, at the Bear's Paw and Queen's
Head Inns, the Gentlemen of the Committee presiding at the
several tables. Messrs. Hayes and Pickering also enter-
tained 140 men to a substantial dinner at their works, Fred-
sham Bridge. In the evening, (the band being stationed on
a platform in the centre of the town,) country dances and a
variety of rural sports took place. The following and other
appropriate toasts were given :—Her Most Gracious Majesty
the Queen,—song, God Save the Queen, with band, full
chorus, and enthusiastic cheering. The Queen Dowager.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and all the Royal
Family. Her Majesty's Ministers. The Army and Navy,
&c., &e. At ten o'clock it brilliant display of Fireworks
took place. On the following day a variety of rural sports
were again resumed to the amusement of the inhabitants;
and on Saturday morning the committee distributed a liberal
allowance of bread and beef to upwards of 150 families.
Never in the memory of the oldest inhabitant was there such
an assemblage of universal and patriotic feeling displayed as
on this occasion.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 3, 1838.

Q*" The Publication of the STANDARD commenced this
morning at 5 o'clock.

TO THE PUBLIC.

In presenting to our readers the first number of the en-
larged series of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, we feel
it to he incumbent upon us to glance at a few of those
improvements which the additional space of six co.
lumns in each publication will enable us to intro-
duce.

It is unnecessary that we should dilate upon the prin-
ciples to the advocacy of which we have been so
long pledged. Attachment to the constitution of
Great Britain in Church and State--a firm adhe-
rence to the monarchy of these realms—devotion to
that Protestant Establishment which we believe to
be both the glory and safeguard of our country—the
maintenance in unimpaired integrity of our mixed
and balanced form of government—and the preser-
vation of those time-honoured institutions Which
are intimately interwoven with our national pro-
sperity—these are the objects for which N e have
ever contended, and which we shall continue to ad-
• vocate. In the political department of the STAND-
ARD there will, therefore, be no alteration; but we
trust that the larger space at present at our com-
mand, will afford us a better opportunity for the dis-
cussion of those important national questions in
which are involved the interests of the church or
the stability of our constitution.
The enlargement which has taken place in this jour-
nal will enable us to incorporate in each publication
a much greater amount of general information than
it has been hitherto in our power to present to our
readers. Owing to the large space frequently oc-
cupied by advertisements, we have been compelled
to exclude much of that miscellaneous intelligence
which is always looked for in a newspaper This
will not be the case in future, as the twelve addi-
tional columns, which are now placed weekly at our
command, will afford ample room for a greater va-
riety of articles.
It will be our endeavour to render the LIVERPOOL
STANDARD as much as possible a family newspaper.
IVith this view we shall exercise the most scrutini-
sing caution against the admission into our columns
of any article of an objectionable character. We
shall also devote some space in each number to
amusing extracts from modern publications, and
anecdotal sketches of public characters.
The general heads under which will be arranged-the
varied information, which will be hereafter con-
tained in the STANDARD, may be thus briefly enu-
merated :
PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.—Under this head
we shall endeavour, during the sitting of Parlia-
ment, to prepare a careful digest of all the proceed..
lugs and debates in both Houses, and thus afford to
those who have no leisure to read the daily papers,
an accurate knowledge of what is passing in the
great councils of the nation. We shall also furnish
our readers with abstracts of all the more important
acts of parliament, and other documents, returns,
&c. ordered to be printed by both Houses.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.—AII events of historical
importance, which may occur in other countries,
will be faithfully and impartially recorded.
COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.—In this department we
shall be enabled, from the peculiar sources of in-
formation to which we have access, to give the
earliest news from the colonial possessions and
other dependencies of Great Britain.
LOCAL NEWS.—Under this head will be furnished
copious and accurate reports of public meetings;
proceedings in the courts of law, police-office, and
in the town council ; accidents and inquests ; cri-
tiques on public amusements, exhibitions, &c. ; and,
in short, every species of intelligence which is
chiefly of interest to the local reader. In its reports
the STANDARD has already obtained an established
character—their copiousness and accuracy having
been frequently remarked upon in the council
chamber.
ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.—The STANDARD will
hereafter contain a weekly list of preferments in
the church, a clerical obituary, and an epitome of
such information as may be most interesting to
those who are connected with the church.
GENERAL NEWS.—Under this head we shall give a

copious selection of interesting articles from our
metropolitan and provincial contemporaries.

LITERATURE.—We shall devote a column in eac
publication to select extracts from modern publi
cations.

SPORTING INTELLI GENCE.—GI eater attention shall
be paid in future to this department than we have
hitherto bad it in our power to bestow.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.—The greatest care will
be taken in compiling our shipping news, prices
current, markets, &c.
These are the principal heads under we shall
classify the contents of the STANDARD in its en-
larged form. From this arrangement we shall
seldom have any cause to depart, excepting when
our local reports are of such paramount importance
as to require the exclusion of less interesting matter.
We cannot conclude the present address without reit-
erating our expression of gratitude for the support
which the LIVERPOOL STANDARD has hitherto re-
ceived, especially in its advertising department.
It shall always he our endeavour to merit a conti-
nuance of that patronage which we have so long
enjoyed.
Our thanks are also due to those friends who have
favoured us with their correspondence on various
occasions. We shall feel happy in allotting a larger
space in future to such original communications as
we may deem to be suited for insertion, especially
if they possess the recommendation of brevity.

THE CORONATION.—We have given, in our paper
of this day, a full and interesting report of the pro-
ceedings at the coronation of her Gracious 'Majesty
Queen Victoria, which, we have no doubt, will be
perused with that interest which ought to attach to
a record so important in its nature. We never knew
of an occasion on which there has been such a univer-
sal burst of national enthusiasm, as that which was
witnessed from John O'Groat's house to the Land's
End on Thursday last. Party feeling seems to have
been completely lost sight of in the general expression
of loyalty and attachment to our virgin Queen. We
have always maintained that the people of England
are an essentially loyal people, firm and unalterable in
their devotion to the throne, and the constitution
of Great Britain. Our conviction has received an
ample and a gratifying corroboration in the absorb-
ing events of the past week. Not only in the Me-
tropolis and in the presence of royalty has this feel-
ing been manifested ; but throughout the whole king-
dom the enthusiastic manner in which the coronation
has been commemorated affords abundant proof of the
universality of those feelings of loyalty which we be-
lieve to be inherent in the bosoms of all true English-
men.

But universal as has been the expression of loyalty
throughout the country, we are sorry to say that
there are journalists in the metropolis so utterly des-
titute of principle, and so forgetful of their duty as
subjects, as to ridicule the whole proceedings at the
coronation. We allude, in particular, to the
disgusting and blasphemous langUage of the in-
famous parody which has been published in the
Spectator. Such a production ought to be burnt
by the hands of the common hangman, and its
author ought to be made an example of by being
placed in the pillory, there to receive the hearty exe-
crations of millions of his countrymen, who repudiate
his principles, and despise his base and republican
language. It is scarcely necessary to attempt any
refutation of such doctrines. The best answer is
afforded in the brilliant demonstrations of devotion
and fealty which have been witnessed throughout the
kingdom, among all classes, rich and poor, peer and
peasant.

THE CHURCH ENDOWMENT QUESTION.—The ar-
rangements for the settlement of this question, which
have been approved of by the Town Council, will be
submitted to the Parishioners of Liverpool, in Vestry
assembled, on Thursday next. The important in.
(crests which are involved in the final settlement of this
long•agitated question, will, we hope, induce a very
full attendance. A very spirited remonstrance, against
the arrangements contemplated, relative to St. Paul's
Church, has been addressed to the Town Council, by
the Churchwardens of that Church. The letter will
be found in another column, and contains reason suffi-
cient for their decided opposition to the measures ap-
proved by our local legislature. It remains to be seen,
whether the public at large will give their sanction to
an arrangement, which must, eventually, deprive a
great portion of the community of the religious pri-
vileges which they at present enjoy. We are friendly
disposed to the amicable settlement of this question,
but we cannot lend our influence to any system which
will impair the efficiency of the Church. The contra-
versy already engages a considerable share of public
attention. We shall, therefore, make arrangements
for giving a full report in our Friday's paper.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.—The proceedings
in Parliament on Friday and Saturday were compara-
tively unimportant. The country now looks forward
with intense interest to the course which will be
adopted by the House of Lords.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT.—A subscription has been
commenced for the relief of the widow and orphans of the
unfortunate sufferer by the recent accident on George's Pier-
head. The sum of 20s. 6d. has been placed in our hands,
which we understand was collected by the fellow-workmen of
the deceased. We hope this good example will be imitated
by their more fortunate neighbours. Donations will be
thankfully received at the various newspaper offices

THE ROYAL WILLIAM STEAM-SHlP.—This fine vessel
takes her departure, on 'Thursday next, for New York. She
will, we understand, carry out a large number of passengers :
among them will be Madame Vestris and Mr. Charles
Matthews, who are proceeding to make a theatrical campaign
in the States. The Royal William is expected to reach
New York, at the latest, about the 20th instant.

THE LIVERPOOL. PROTESTANT BENEFIT SOCIETY was not
backward in commemorating the coronation day ; a respect-
able body of its members partook of au excellent repast at
the John Bull, Lumber-street, provided by Mrs. lowlands,
the worthy hostess. Several loyal toasts were drank, and the
conviviality was kept up until a late hour. A splendid arch
of oak and laurel, interspersed with flowers, extended from
the John Bull to the opposite side of the street, underneath
the arch were three loyal and constitutional banners.

CORONATION BENEVOLENCE.—It iS with feelings of great
pride and gratification that we record the following letter,
not only for the sake of the charity to which it relates, but
also that it lessons an apprehension felt by us, lest the me-
dical charities of the town should be forgotten in the disposal
of the contributions made to enable all classes of the com-
munity to participate in, and have good cause to remember
gratefully, our present national exultation :
" Liverpool, 28th June, 1838.
"THE CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA.
" Stir honour of this auspicious day, and in token o
our loyalty and veneration for the constitutional ceremonies
of our country, I have the pleasure, on the part of the officers,
non-commissioned officers and privates of the late corps of
Liverpool Light Horse Volunteers, to present you, as Pre-
sident of the Northern Hospital of Liverpool, with one
hundred pounds, for the use of that charitable institution.—l
am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" WILLIAM FORDE, Captain,
"Late Corps of Liverpool Light Horse Volunteers.
" To the Worshipful the Mayor of Liverpool."
We rejoice also to find that a letter, similar to the above,
enclosing £lOO, was addressed to John Platt, Esq., treasurer
of the Southern Hospital, for the benefit of that institution.
ROBBERY.—On Sunday, sometime between eleven and
one o'clock, thieves obtained access to the shop of Mr.
Kearney, flour-dealer, Moorfields, while the family were at
worship. They succeeded in obtaining booty, we are sorry
to say, to the amount of £BO.
COMMISSIONERS OF HIGHWAYS.—The accounts of the
Commissioners of Highways for the past year show an in-
creased expenditure, as compared with the previous year, in
the paving department of £8,617; but, with this increased
outlay, there appears a balance in hand to the credit of the
paving and old sewers of £2,465, (to which should be added
£2,000 due from the Corporation for paving, &c. at the new
Custom-house, making £4,465,) and to the new sewerage of
£4,558. The collection of the rates for the current year, as
compared with the previous one, is more by about £6OO.

THE PotAcE-oF.FicE.—Yesterday, at the Police-office,
there were no fewer than 126 prisoners to be brought before
the magistrates, 53 of whom were charged with felony, and
73 for being disorderly.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday afternoon, the day
of the coronation, a boy, about 16 years of age, was firing a
pistol at the top of Erskine-street, and in order to make a
loud report had charged it up to the muzzle, and was ramming
the wadding down by striking the ramrod in the pistol against
the wall. The concussion was so great as to cause the pistol
to go off at half-cock whilst he was striking it against the wall.
The consequence was, the pistol stock was shattered to pieces
in the boy's hands, and the barrel blew over his shoulder and
struck another bov, named Foster, who was standing behind
him, on the temple, with such force as to fracture his skull,
and absolutely knocked a portion of his brains out. The
poor lad was taken to the Infirmary. We have not heard
that he is yet dead, but we understand there is no possible
chance of his recovery. The lad in whose hands the pistol
was was not at all hurt.

THE MISSES SMITH.—A paragraph has gained general
circulation in the London papers stating, that these young
ladies, now performing at our theatre, had been withdrawn
from the stage, by their aunt, the Countess of Essex, since
her marriage with the Earl. The Countess, we believe, has
liberally settled a handsome allowance upon all branches of
her family; and, we understand, left it entirely to the choice
of the fair vocalists, who are now engaged here, either to re-
main in the theatrical profession, or to retire from public
life. The former course was adopted by her nieces, and,
from the great celebrity they acquired in the metropolis,
during the two seasons they were engaged at Mr. Braham's
theatre, we confidently anticipate they will gain a reputation
which will rank them as two of the best vocalists on the
English stage.
