THE LIVERPOOL -SI:ANDARD,

QUARANTINE LAWS.

About ten days since the Newham arrived here from
AlexandriO with a cargo of cotton in defian.ce. of :the or-
ders received from his Majesty's consul at AleXandria,
which directed that she should perform quarantine, at
Milford Haven before she completed her voyage to
Liverpool. The owners of the Newham; who reside at
Tynemouth, obtained from the privy council permission
for that vessel to perform quarantine in the 'Mersey, and
the mistake" was rectified.
Another ship (the Moslem) belonging to this port
being expected to arrive from Alexandria, the owners
applied' through their London agents for a similar dis-
pensation of the quarantine laws, not doubting, as she
had a clean bill of health, that they would be successful.
However, in this they were mistaken, as the following
petition to the privy council and letter to the owners will
show :

To the Right Honourable the Lords of his Majesty's Most Honour-
able Privy Council.
The humble Petition of Hodgson and Powis, of London,
Merchants,
SHOWETH,—That the brig Mallern, T. T. M. Vale, master, is
daily expected to arrive at Milford Haven, from Alexandria,
with a cargo of cotton for Liverpool. That your petitioners find
your lordships have been pleased to grant an order allowing the
ship Newham, now in the River Mersey, which vessel arrived
at Liverpool direct from Alexandria, with a cargo of cotton and
an unclean bill of health, to perform her quarantine in the Mer-
sey, such permission being of most important advantage to the
parties interested.
Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your lordships will
be pleased to grant an order, that on the arrival of the Moslem
at Milford Haven, should her crew be found in good health, she
may be permitted to proceed to Liverpool, and perform. her
quarantine in the Mersey.
Your petitioners humbly beg to state, that they have the full-
est confidence your lordships will be pleased to grant their petir
tion, after having granted the indulgence prayed for to a
vessel which has not conformed with the quarantine laws.
And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.

MESSRS. SAMUEL. MARTIN AND CO., LIVERPOOL.
London, 19th Sept.. 1835.

•
Gantlemen,—ln reply to your favour of 10th instant, we beg
to state, that our object in addressing Messrs. J. Moss and Co.
on thassubject of quarantine never contemplated the putting of
you to any expense, as our Charge under any circumstances
must have been very trifling, our sole object being, thatAaving
chartered the Moslem out, we were anxious to do all in our
power to be 'of service to Captain Vale on his return; and the
circumstance having, come to our knowledge that the privy
council had granted an order for the Newham, we considered it
a good opportunity to Make an attempt in his favour, we must
confess' without much hope of success, although we were at a
loss to conceive what answer their lordships could give to the
annexed petition, which we presented on the 12th instant, and
were told, after four days' consideration, that their lordships
could not make up their minds. We, however, yesterday re-
ceived for answer, that their
.lordships could not grant our
petition, the case of the Newham having arisen from mistake.
Now, every circumstance connected with the transaction in
question negatives the possibility of there having been any mis-
take in the matter. Such, however, is ,the only answer their
lordships give; but we have good reason to believe the filets of
the case to be, that the owner, who, we are told, has considera-
ble influence in the borough of Tynemouth, was accompanied
to the council-office by the honourable member for Tynemouth,
and that the only mistake made was in granting to parliamen-
tary interest a -favour contrary to the quarantine laws, and
contrary to every principle-of justice to the mercantile and
shipping interests.
We are rather at a loss to know why the quarantine•officer at
your port permitted the Newham to remain until he received
an order in council for her to perform her quarantine in the
Mersey, instead of compelling her to proceed to Milford, such
being the law, and which we know has been acted upon very
promptly in similat' cases.
We are, gentlemen,
Your very obedient servants,
HODGSON & YOWLS.

Thus it appears that a ship belonging to Tynemouth,
with an unclean bill of health, may be admitted to per-
form quarantine in the Mersey through a " mistake,"
while another ship belonging to Liverpool owners, and
having a clean bill of health, must fulfil the law to the
very letter.- These " mistakes" have an odd appearance.
In the case ,of the Moslem the expense of performing
quarantine at Milford will be about one hundred pounds
more than it would have been had she been permitted to
sail direct for the Mersey. The Newham being a larger
vessel, the saving is-considerably more.

TO DANIEL O'CONNELL,
KNIGHT OF THE DEATH'S HEAD AA'D CROSS BONES.

" Those who live in gl..ss houses should never throw• stones."—Nov,

Sig,—You have presumed to accuse the Duke of Wellington
of being ungenerous. I have already hinted that such a charge
comes with a peculiarly ill grace from you. Stranger as you
notoriously are to all the soothing offices of friendship and
benevolence; alien as your heart must he to alI the tender sym-
pathies of heaven-born charity; characterised as you always
have been by a brutalised seltishnesS of disposition, it really
appears astonishing that you should have the audacity to give
utterance to such an accusation. But, like every thing else
which emanates from your pen, the charge is false, palpably
and wilfully false; and it will be 'amply refuted by the relation
of the following .

NSTANCE OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S GSNIMOSITY.

A military gentleman, at 'present on the half-pay list, and
resident. in Liverpool, served under the Duke of Wellington
in India. After having spent nearly 30 years in that country,
he returned to England, having left all the property which he
had realised in the hands of a respectable firm at Calcutta.
The house, however, some time ago stopped payment, and this
gentleman became necessarily involved'in the general embar-
rastment which ensued. Pending the settlement of their affairs,
and uncertain whether any reasonable dividend would be even-
tually paid, he ventured to write to the duke, applying for some
situation under government. This took place during the last
brief tenure of office, of which the shameful alliance of the
Whigs and ultra-radicals deprived his grace. The noble duke
replied that existing arrangements precluded him from making
any appointment in his favour; but in testimony of his recol-
lection of a brave fellow-soldier, and as a mark of his sympathy
with him under his losses, he begged his acceptance of the
enclosure—which was a £5O note. .

NOW, Daniel, you can bring uo instance of such disinterested
kindness forward, neither on., behalf of yourself nor any joint of
your "draggling tail.", And yet you will preach about gene-
rosity: The only thing in which you are generous is,—your
slavering abuse. The only thing in which you abound is,—
impudence. You are lavish in every thing but—truth.
I now proceed to examine you in the character of missionary
through England awl Scotland, and to animadvert upon your
travelling oration to the vulgar audiences, whose fancies you

tickle by your comical. absurdities.
You avow yourself to be a political "missionary." By whom
are you sent to scatter abroad the seeds of sedition through
the length and breadth of the land? The answer to this ques-
tion will furnish the solution of the next,--by who ti are you
paid Are you delegated by the popish priests of Leland to
make a tour of apology for their atrocious ascendancy over the
loyal and peaceful protestants of the sister island, upon whose
extermination they are apparefitly resolved? Are you sent by
the whig-radical ministry upon a tour of conciliation, to endea-
vour to excite a little commiseration towards them, and to
create a temporary reaction in their favour, to allow them an
opportunity of i ompleting the removal of all the landmarks of
our ancient constitution? Are yon sent by them to feel the
pulse of the people of England and Scotland as to the abolition of
the House of Lords? Allow me to mention one circumstance
connected with, your agitating progress through his majesty's
dominions. It looks suspicious. In all your speeches you
have reiterated the same sentiments; repeated the same lan-
guage ; brought forward,the same similies, the same nonsen-
sical abuse of the House of Peers, the same vulgar and inde-
cent allusions, the same hyperbolical boastings, and the, same
string of unqualified lies. How is this? Were you furnished,
before you started from the treasury, with chapter and verse on
which to descant? if you have been thus gagged—if such a

restraint has been imposed upon your ardent temperament, it

shows that your employers have but little confidence in your
discretion—and less in your honesty. Will you have the good-

ness to inform us how much of the secret service money you are
to reeeive for .your braggart orations ? I should very much
like to see the quid pro quo part of the arrangement.
Your friends claim for you the appellation of patriot. What
right have you to this dignified title ? What good have you ever
done in your country What benefit have ypu ever procured
for it ? We know that you have stimulated your ignorant
countrymen to violence and rebellion, midnight plunder and .
assassination. We know that yOu have caused the sanctuary
of protestant homes to be recklessly intruded upon by .the
and the-murderer. We know that you have denounced
with your infernal curses all who- venture to assert an inde-
pendent opinion, or to exercise an undoubted right, if contrary
to your selfish interest. We know that you have'resisted
every measure calculated to ameliorate the condition of the
suffering poor of Ireland. We know your inveterate
hostility
to the introduction of poor laws into Ireland. • We know your
tenacious adherence to a senseless system. of agitation, calcu-
lated to withdraw the attention of your Countrymen from the
pursuits of productive industry, and cause them to devote Weir
time and attention to the consideration of imaginary griev-
ances. We know with what 'Unrelenting pertinacity you have
continued to exact the payment of £15,000 annually in the
shape of rent. We know that this comes from the pockets of
the poor almost exclusively. We know- that this enormous
amount of tribute, forced .from their penury. is far greater than
any sum which you have sacrificed by relinquishing your pro
fessional engageinents. All this we know; but surely You dO
not call' this patriotiStni The people of England would call a
person who thus acted a scoundrel, a fraudulent imposter, a
mean dishonourabk_ fellow, a public
'pest, a candidate for the
Lunatic Asylum or--the gallows. ,
Your modesty is on an equality with your patriotim., Of
this we have a signal proof that you, now have"the assurance
to stand up beforeati. English "a.ndience, after having, during
-the greater_part of
.your life,
:leaded the English with every
-imaginable -species of abuse. Are you not .afraid that they
should remember than you are the infamous blackguard who
asserted that 10 out of every English women eteae strumpets
.before they were
,married? I advise
,you tp be cautious in

yuur movements. There are among us those who think the
horsrpond a soitable receptacle for such cowardly tradircers of
female virtue.

There is .another 'point to which I beg to allude before' I
commence the dissection of your speeches. It is this—lou
.have, .or profess to have, a
,vow that you will never again ac-
cept a challenge to fight a duel with any man. You entered
into this solemn compact with your conscience after having
caused the death of Your antagonist. There is reason, there-
fore, to infer your sinceritrin this renunciation of duelling.
But should not such a circumstance make yoir the most cau-
tious and guarded in your language of all men living? Should
it not cause you to avoid with
.the most scrupulous anxiety
every thing like personal affronts? But what, is the fact?
You are of all men the most lavish in your insults. You think
no more of giving the first gentleman in the land the lie, than
tyou do of devouring a potatoe, or eating your own words, as
you are frequently compelled ,to do. When people see such
conduct they think you a coward, and the opinion is rational.
Iu addition to the heavy matters already laid to your charge,

I must further accuse you, or the whit; ministry with whom you
are now in brotherly alliance, with the grossest hypocrisy ever
practised, and that in reference to a question of the most vital
importance. I allude to your co-operation with the whigs on
the subject of the Irish church. Lord Morpeth and his party
solemnly declare that the settlement of the question, iu the
manner recently attempted, would tend materially to promote
the interests of protestanlism in Ireland; that the plan was
calculated to be beneficial to the clergy, and productive of
good to the church at large. They assign this belief it its,
utility to the church as a motive for the introduction of the
measure to the notice of parliament. On the other hand, you
and your tail believe that the measure is calculated to weaken:
and undermine the protestant establishment; you view it as
the first instalment paid in satisfaction of your claim fur its
eventual annihilation; you approVe of it because you wish for
the destruction of the church. Entertaining these opposite
views—as opposite as light to darkness—you and the whigs
vote together on thiS question! Here is consistency! Either ,
you or the whigs are hypocrites in the matter. The people of
England will soon show yOu in what light they view the Con•::,
duct.Of those Tien wbetu you Are'now endeavouring to render:

'copular.
In my next I shall analyse your elaborate discourses, and
show of what queer materials they are composed.

I aril, sir,

. your obedient servant,

Liverpool, September 21, 1835. A WELSHMAN

HEATON PARK RACER

SIP. R. W. BULKELEY, STEWARD.

This fashionable Lancashire sporting meeting, the greatest
annual treat the Manchester gentlemen have, for which they
are indebted to that patriotic noblemen, the Earl of Wilton,
commenced on Wednesday last, under the most faveurable,
auspiees, so far as the entries _were concerned, but rather unfa-
vourable as regarded the weather. At an early hour in the
inorning there were indications of a stormy and disagreeable
day; but, uotwitAsstaudiug this, the numerous lovers of horse-
racing were determined not to be disappointed of their favourite
diversion, and, amid the pelting of the raiu, thousands of both
the aristocracy and mobocracy were, by half-past eleven,rnoving
towards the magnificent park in every description of vehicle,
from the equipage of the peer to the light spring drag of the
costermonger ; and it was humorous to observe the motley pro-
cession and the many make shifts to keep within the noble earl's
rules, that no persons were to be admitted excepting in carriages
or on horseback. Such was the demand for conveyances that
there was not a single hackney-coach left in the town for the
accommodation of those who preferred a warm fireside to a wet
race-course. On arriving at the park the carriages were formed
in line, parallel with the course, opposite each other, the -most
distinguished having the exclusive privile,ge of the bill near to
his lordship's stand, and we never saw a finer display of beauty
and fashion even at Doncaster. A considerable portion of the
fashionables who attended the latter meeting also attended this,
amongst whom we noticed, on the Earl of Wilton's stand, (vi-i
sitars, we understand, at the hall,) his Royal Highness Prince
George of Cambridge, the Marquis of Westminster, the Marquis
and Marchioness otWorcester, Lady G. Somerset, the Earl and
Countess of Chesterfield, Count Matuschevitz, Lord and Lady
Rebell Grosvenor, Lord George Beutinck, Lord Bruce, Lord
Albert Conyugharn, Lord De Roos, Sir Richard and Lady
Bulkeley, Lvster, Colonel Anson and Lady, George
Herbert, Esq., the. flon. Mr. Irby, George Payne, Esq., Ed-
mund Hornbv, Esq., Colonel Horuby, and Captain Stanley,
(brother of Lord Stanley.) Immediately adjoining the Grand
Stand was one erected for the gentlemen of the betting ring,
which was filled by weil known sportsmen from London, Liver-
pool, and Manchester; amongst whom was Mr. Crockford, of
St. ,fames-'street, Mr. Robinson, and many other large turf
speculators. In addition to this another stand was appropriated.
to the use of the public generally, the whole fitted up at his
derdship's cost. Amongst the irentleMen on and about the couese
we observed J. J. Trafford, Esq., of Trafford, Clement Itoyds,
Esq., of Rochdale, Fenton, Esq.. of ditto, Thomas Houlds-
-worth, Esq., Entavisle, Esq., of Foxholes, S. Brooks, Esq.,
Daniel Grant, Esq., Captain Moore, Captain White, William
Grant, Esq., Rev. .1011 n Clowes, Rev. C. D. Wray, warden of
Manchester, Henry Forth, Esq., William Haynes, Esq., Bold
Houghton, Esq , Sir John Gerard, Sir Thomas Hesketh, Mr.
Ilultnn and family, Glegg, Esq... of Witbington. Mr. Osbal-'
'deston, Buckley, Mr. Burton, Mr. Malony, Mr. Bavly,
The clerk of the course was Mr. Etty, who officiates-at the NI ans
chiister races:in the seine capacity, to whose judicious arrange-
itente is tuikinly toying the order art whieh the 40\1w. wess_rgg3,l,
-hied. A decided inaprOVemenf has taken place since last year
in the construction of one part ,of the course. Formerly the
carriages were placed so close to the course, by the hill, that the
spectators behind had no opportunity of viewing the races, but
now a kind of second course in that part, formed by ropes, has
bean made, outside which the carriages were placed so that the
people could see over them. According to custom, Mr. King,
of the Bush, the only distributor of the good things of life pri-
vileged on the course, had his pavillion laid out with every deli-
cacy of the season, which were pretty freely partaken of by the
hungry and thirsty, who were of course washed in by the showers.
The sport commenced at two o'adock with the contest for

The conservatives of Middlesex are doing their work well:
The result of the first five days before the revising barristers is
as follows:—Objections maintained by.overseers, 81; by con-
servatives, 217 ; by radicals, 52. The objections taken by the
overseers apply chiefly to parties who have died, gone away, or
sold their property ; and a considerable majority of these cases,
it is ascertained, belong to the radical force. Above 150 votes,
then, have been gained, and that before a fourth part of .the
whole register has been gone through. And all this has been
done by a voluntary association of* a Tew of the gentry and free-
holders of the county, who have resolved never to relax in their
exertions till they have finally rescued the county. Their suc-
cess can hardly admit of a doubt; and there are very few coun-
ties in which similar efforts would nut be crowned by a similar
result.—Standard.

The Ploughing Match on the Duke of Sutherland's estate, in
this county, took place the 15th:inst. at Tibberton, in the pre-
,euceof the Duke and Duchess pf 'Sutherland. Several of his
Grace's. cottage tenants received rewards for improving their
premises and bringing into cultivation wastelands withoutassist-
Lime from their landlord. The rewards to the successful candi-
dates were given to the parties by the Duke himself, after all
had partaken of the excellent dinner provided on the occasion,
at Mr, Green's, of the Day House.. His Grace expressed the
most anxious regard for. the interests of his tenants; and his
hopes that his son would be unless at-,ernive to their welfare.—
