PARKER'S PATENT FOR BANDING
PULLEYS.—The Proprietors of Foundries, Cotton
Factories, Saw Mills, Corn and Rice Mills, Building and
Joiners Establishments, and all others requiring rotary
motion, are respectfully invited to examine PARKER'S
PRINCIPLE of BANDING PULLEYS, which combines a
large saving of motive power, with an increased velocity of
motion never before obtained in limited compass, and may
be applied as well to the first motion from the engine as to
the collateral demands upon the power, which is lar'ely
saved by avoiding the Complicated Bands, Pulleys, and Cog
W heels.

The 'principle is applied with matchless success to Fans,
Blowers, Lathes, Winnowing and Thrashing Corn, Chopping
Hay, Grinding Malt, Circular Saws, of any required a"..."-
sions • but the most remarkable application or tins invention
is to the Portable cirew.t..,, 04W, which is made to perform a
variety or duties that render it the most desirable tool, and
which no mechanic will be able to dispense with.
For the right to use this patented invention, and for the
purchase of the royalties of any Town, County, District, or
for any individual establishment, and for directions in its
application,
Apply to WILLIAM ROWETT, Commercial-buildings,
Water-street, who is the sole Agent for Liverpool.

Portable Saw can do the work of a steam-engine of one-
horse power for a limited period.

TUESDAY MORNI.NG, NOV 8, 1853.

THE " STANDARD" • AND ITS

CALUMNIATORS.

WE stated last week our intention to enter more at
length into the misrepresentation to which we have been
subject, notwithstanding our long and consistent advocacy
of the purity of the Reformed Faith, as developed in the
Articles and Formularies of the Church of England. We
had designed to have exposed some of the malignant
fabrications which have been industriously propagated by
certain individuals, who are mainly indebted to this paper
-for any prominence they may enjoy in the public mind, and
from whom we have received in return not only little or
no substantial support, but the grossest ingratitude. At
the intreaty, however, of some valued friends, and as our
sole object, in every opinion we have expressed, has been to
Preserve that Christian unity which can alone render the
services of the Church efficient for the promotion of
"Peace on earth—good-will towards men," we shall
forego our intention, and rely on the good sense and love
of justice which we are willing to believe predominate with
the majority of Englishmen. We shall, therefore, only
refer to the following instance of wilful perversion which
appeared in the columns of The Record, shortly after our
remarks on " the proposed new church in Liverpool." A
cause that requires falsehood for its support can have
little claim to Christian sympathy :

THE RECORD. LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
In the Liverpool Standard Much of the real benefit of
there is a statement to the the restoration of daily -ervice
effect that a church is about in the church will depend upon
to be erected in that town after the mode in which the service
a certain fashion, for the per- be performed. We are en-
formance of " daily service." joined to " worship the Lord
The whole paragraph exhibits in the beauty of holiness,"
the Tractarian leaven. and the outward demonstra-
tion of this can be in no way
more efficiently shown than in
the magnificent simplicity of
the ritual of the Church of
England. It is this simplicity
which constitutes at once its
charm and its power.
A sly hit is made at "the The Romauists, who appeal
extemporaneous prayers of to the senses, cannot appre-
Dissenters" as unavailing and ciate it, and the Dissenters,
unprofitable. who discover fervour only in
extempore prayer, cannot un-
rst it.

take place that would lead the
most captious opponent who
attended the service to doubt,
for an instant, that he was in
church of Eegland. * *
"The foolishness of preach- a
With referenc e to the Ber-
ing," is to be repudiated at mons, we may remark that
Liverpool, and our "beautiful everything of a controversial
Litirmv," intended and con- character should be avoided,
structed ea an " exercise for
God's people," (Homily on and the subject matter con-
Common fined to those lessons of a
Prayer Sacra-
ments) is to be used,

the consciences and
- and amusement of the " irreli- amen Ifeof those who

be no lack of interes,
awakening attention to the
sinful state of fallen man, the
great mystery of Redemption,
the call to repentance and
prayer, preparation for an
hereafter, and judgment to
come. These concern all man-
kind, and none are more fitted
than our own clergy for adapt-
ing them so as to touch the
hearts of those whom they
address. They should, how-
ever, be the affectionate ap-
peals of earnest men who feel
and can appreciate the impor-
tance of their mission as en-
trusted with the glad tidinel
of salvation to a guilty world,
and not the impassioned ora-
tions of those who only please
the ear, and attract crowds to
be charmed by the eloquence
of their style. * * * *
I have no doubt that the It has been, and is, an evil of
" getting up" of this " primi- no common magnitude, that
tive" Church, is a sly and our Church, which enjoins
insidious attempt to prepare " the unity of spirit and the
people as perverts to Rome. bond of peace," is divided into
parties, between which there
saemato be no common bond
but a nominal claim toe hurch-
tranship. Ore aide, ardently
desirous of a return to strict
observances, has overloaded
them with forms and ceremo-
nies which created a natural
alarm of a return to Romish
superstitions i while the other
side has gone into the opposite
extreme of undervaluing all
forms. * * If in the new
church these two extremes,
now apparently irreconcile-
able, could be made to meet
on common ground—* *—if
by these means we should
once more see that union,
which is the very essence of
Christianity, a consummation
would be reached which every
t rue Churchman, every devout
Christian, would joyfully bail.
* * These remarks are made
not only without reference to
party, but in the hope that
they may assist in healing un-
happy differences.
It will thus be seen that there is not a line in the
statement put forth by The Record which does not con-
tain a falsehood, or a wilful perversion of language. The
remark that "a sly hit is made at the extemporaneous
prayers of Dissenters as unavailing and unprofitable,"
is a graring instance of this. It is well known that Dissen-
ters do not approve of written prayers, and therefore cannot
understand the beauty of the Church Liturgy ; but to infer
from thence that any allusion whatever is made to ex-
tempore prayers being unavailing and unprofitable, is
such a gross perversion of truth, such a wilful breach of
the ninth commandment, as to justify the strongest
reprobation.

FOREIGN INTELLIGEN=CE.

FRANCE.---It had been announced that the Emperor and
Empress intended visiting Fontainbleau on the sth, but
their departure, it is now thought, will not take place till
the 15th. Tuesday, being All Saints' Day, was observed
in Paris as one of the strictest holidays of the year. The
Bourse of course was closed, and high mass was held in all
the Churches. Vice-Admiral Brunt, who takes the com-
mand of the French Channel fleet in Brest roads, hoisted
his flag temporarily last week on board the Austerlitz,
while waiting the arrival of the Montebello.
SpAix.—A despatch from Madrid, dated Oct. 28th,
states that the Government had made proposals to General
Narvaez to remain in Paris, as Spanish Ambassador there;
but that he had not accepted the offer. It is expected that
important changes will follow his arrival in Madrid.
Senor Isturitz, it is understood, will certainly remain in
London. The Madrid papers, of the 29th ult., state that
the Ministry had decided that a special cemetery should
be set apart for the burial of Protestants.
PORlVGAL.—lntelligence has arrived from Lisbon of
the 29th ult. Preparations were making for the elections
of Deputies, but no opposition of any consequence was
anticipated to the candidates of Government.
AUSTRIA.—Baron Prokesch has cone to Berlin for the
purpose of inducing the Prussian Government to join
Austria in a declaration of the position of the two Powers
in the Oriental question, and to prefer this declaration at
the sittings of the Germanic Diet. It appears, however,
that Prussia refuses to pledge herself even to a declaration.
We learn from Vienna, 31st ult., that the Steam Naviga-
tion Company of the Danube has given notice that, in
consequence of unforeseen obstacles, the navigation of the
Lower Danube is suspended.
RussrA.—The Agram Gazette publishes intelligence
from Albania to the 18th tilt., to the effect that the com-
Plications of the Eastern question will not exercise any
influence on the relations existing between the Turks and
the Montenegrins. An important letter has been received
by Prince Danilo from Russia, and the Prince after having
received it gave orders to have all the corn which had
been gathered in from the Montenegrin territory removed
to Jabliak. Cartridges were being made, and bullets cast.
It is said that Russia has informed the Vladika that a
collision between the Turks and Russians was imminent ;
that the war had a patriotic and sacred character ; and
that the Montenegrins ought to watch their frontiers
11,arr°,,w1Y, in order that the neighbouring provinces should
73,"nrnish aid to the Porte. The Albanians would, it is
said be delighted to be attacked by the Montenegrins, in
Brut to have a pretext for refusing the Porte the contin-
gent 12,000 men which it calls for. The Russian mer-
e4,llaot ships in the Black Sea have hoisted the Austrian

lbtulter.—The combined fleets arrived in the Darda-

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

since the waters are here apparently enclosed by the
lofty heights, forming an amphitheatre round what ap-
pears to be a lake, and the report of each gun is re-
echoed a thousand times by the vine and forest-clad hills."
Accounts have been received of the passage of the Danube,
on the 27th ult., by a Turkish force of 30,000 infantry and
400 cavalry. After crossing, they advanced as far as
Radowan, which is half way to Kravjoina, the capital of
the lesser Wallachia. The remainder of the army was
crossing when the latest news arrived, and it was thought
that a collision would soon occur between the rival forces.
It would, therefore, appear that the Sultan's orders to
delay hostilities did not arrive in time. The draft of a
new arrangement, drawn up by the English and French
Governments, has been transmitted to the Porte. A des-
patch from Vienna of the 30th ult. announces the arrival
in that city of the new project, and that it had been
forwarded to Constantinople. It is added that the scheme
consists of the Vienna note deprived of the objectionable
passages, which, being remodelled, render the Turkish
modifications superfluous, and, being conformable to the
Olmiitz concessions, will satisfy Russia. Turkey is ex-
pected to accept these terms, and, if so, Russia also.
From Constantinople it is reported that the Porte, having
heard of the new project of compromise, had suspended
the commencement of hostilities for the present. That
orders have been sent to Omer Pacha to avoid hostilities
appears certain. There was, however, allowance made for
those accidental collisions, which will sometimes happen
when two armies come into somewhat close proxithity.
The Gazette des Postes, of Frankfort, publishes a letter
from Bucharest announcing the departure of Prince Gort-
schakoff for Kravjoina. This event had produced a great
sensation. It is thought that a battle will take place at
Kravjoina, which is defended by Russian troops from
Kalafat. Ten thousand more men are expected there, as
well as Hulan regiments with artillery. Cossacks are
piqueted for the transmission of orders and news. A te-
legraphic despatch, dated Vienna, Friday, contains the
following communication from Bucharest :—" Two thou-
sand Turks appeared at Giurgevo and fired into the town.
In a conflict near Dam many Russians and Turks were
killed. The Turks retreated up the river, and the Rus-
sians followed them. At Kalafat there are daily skir-
mishes. The Turks respect foreign property under the
Austrian flag." The Vienna Presse confirms the intelli-
gence of the arrival of 7000 Turks at Kalafat, and of the
advance of the left wing of the Turkish army, besides
8000 of the Turkish reserve from Sophia. The vanguard,
under Namik Pasha and General Prim, had a serious
conflict with 2500 Russian cavalry, between Kalafat and
Krajowa. The affair lasted two hours, when the Russians
retreated towards Slatina. Another despatch, dated Bu-
charest, Nov. 2, says, yesterday, 800 or 1000 Turks ap-
peared at and bombarded Giurgevo. A fight ensued
along shore ; several Russians and Turks were killed, and
civilians wounded. The Turks proceeded up the river.
Russian cavalry, with cannon, followed in the same direc-
tion. Skirmishes between the outposts happen daily near
Kalafat. In Paris confident hopes were expressed in
diplomatic circles that war between Turkey and Russia
would be avoided. The Russian Ambassador says that
the army in the Principalities has received the most
positive orders to refrain from assuming the offensive, and
even to avoid as much as possible any conflict of outposts ;
and that it is utterly impossible for the Porte to reject the
new proposition of the Four Powers, which removes all
the objections made by the Divan to the primitive
note of Vienna. According to private intelligence
received at Vienna, Bucharest, and all the towns in
the Principalities, have been placed in a state of
siege. Martial law had been proclaimed, and cor-
respondence with the Turks prohibited on pain of death.

By the British and North American royal mail steam-
ship Canada, Capt. Stone, we have intelligence from New
York to the 25th, and Boston to the 26th ult.
The Canada sailed from Boston at 0 40 p.m., on the 26th
ult., and arrived at Halifax at 10 20 p.m., on the 27th.
She came "north about," and saluted the Rock Light at
5 23 p.m., on Sunday,having made the run in about 11 days.
The Canada passed a large steamer (supposed the Ame-
rica, hence forßoston and Halifax,) at 2 a.m., on the 3d inst.

The royal mail steam-ship Conway had been spoken en-
tering Savannah.
Letters of the 24th ult., from New Orleans, announce
the arrival of the Crescent City,with advices from Havana
to ,the 19th. The arrival of the new captain-general was
daily looked for. There was a white frost at New Orleans
and Mobile on the 23rd. The thermometer at the former
city at sunrise was 40.0. At Mobile, on the 23rd, there
were three deaths from yellow fever.
At Louisville, property valued $200,000 had been de-
stroyed by fire. An extensive fire had occurred at Cincin-
nati. The Ohio river was very low. Mr. Carroll Spence,
the minister to Constantinople, was about to leave for his
post. Cornelius Vrooman, the celebrated sleeping man,
had died at Rochester, after a slight illness. Frederick J.
Fuller, a ship carpenter, from Liverpool, had been found
dead in his house. It was stated at the inquest that he
had died from the want of proper nourishment and medi-
cal attendance. A savings' bank-book was found in his
trunk, having nearly $3,000 dollars to his credit. Mr. Wm.
H. Webb had received an order from the Russian Govern-
ment to build a line-of-battle-ship, of 100 guns, to be fur-
nished with a screw and double engines of 500 horse-power.
The work of construction is to commence nest spring, and
the vessel to be ready in two years afterwards. In model
she will be diffecent to any vessel afloat. The New York
shipbuilding-yards were all in full employment. Judge
Edmonds had declined to be nominated by the convention,
on the ground that his avowed belief in spiritualism had
caused many persons to have doubts in his judgment,
The St. John's New Brunswicker has a report that a
federal union of the British North American Colonies is
contemplated, and that measures for completing the
union will be submitted to the several colonies at no very
distant day. It is added that Lord Elgin's visit to Eng-
land is connected with the contemplated movement.
Quebec will be proposed as the seat of the General Go-
vernment. Each colony will retain its own local Legisla-
ture, and manage its own affairs, very much as at present ;
but a Colonial Parliament, composed of members from
each province, will meet at Quebec to pass such laws as
may be required for the general guidance of the Confedera-
tion. From Vera Cruz we have advices to the Bth and
Mexico city to the 3d ult. The Mexican war steamer
Estade de Mejico left Vera Cruz on the Bth, with 300
troops on board for Yucatan, in which place it was re-
ported that a revolution had broken out. The cholera
continued its ravages at Oikjaca. A decree re-establishing
the Jesuits in the republic had been published. Some
twenty executions had taken place in various parts of the
republic; there are now some sixty awaiting sentence,
and still robberies as audacious as ever continue. The
diligence from Vera Cruz and Puebla was robbed at La
Cruz de Hernandez by a band of eleven robbers, on the
29th ult., when a horse and mule, and property to nearly
the value of $2,000 were taken from the travellers. The
new protection and prohibitory tariff went into operation,
with regard to European goods, on the sth. Several
vessels, with very valuable cargoes, had been off the port
many days, unable to enter on account of the weather.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, OCT. 25.
Moir.—There was no alteration observable in the
Money Market : the demand was active. Foreigh Ex-
change was dull. We quote : London, 109 to 1091; Paris,
5.114 to 5,134 ; Amsterdam, 411 to 414; Frankfort, 411
to 411; Bremen, 801 to 801; Hamburg, 361 to 364 ; Ant-

COTTON.—(From W. P. Wright's Circular, Oct. 25.)
The cotton brokers of this city have formed an association
to be known as the " New York Cotton Brokers' Associa-
tion ;" they have adopted a standard of classification, a
method of reporting daily the sales, and of determining
once a week the current value of the various qualities of
cotton. They are also prepared to decide any matter in
dispute, appertaining to the trade, submitted to them for
arbitration. It is believed this will give greater uni-
formity to the system of reporting, and be more satisfac-
tory to those engaged in cotton business than the system
hitherto practised of each broker quoting for himself.
The sales since the 18th inst. have amounted to 6,000
bales, chiefly for export and home consumption, and prices
have further declined 4c. to 4c. per lb. The export for
the week has been, to Liverpool, 3,501 bales ; Havre, 89.
Total, 3,590 bales. The Southern markets have also given
way, without leading to any very extended business.
Relative to the new crop, we have received more favour-
able accounts of the weather for picking and maturing,
from the whole of the cotton-growing region, and a more
cheerful tone as to the extent of the yield is now pretty
generally indulged in. The following is a statement of
the movement in cotton since the Ist of September last,
as compared with the previous three years :
