TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SlR,—From thd bottom of Shaw's-brow (except St.
Stephen's) to St. Mary's, Kirkdale there is not a place

of worshi., for a member of the Estdb!ished Church iii
that distance. Of course, Christ Chorch and St. Bar-
tloolomew's are filled well; hut except those, and Trinity
and :14. Ann's ( lurches, there is no other to the right,
and Sr. Mathew's, in Key-street, and St. Mathias's, in
Love lane there is no other Protestant church in al that
great poi lion of this town. Now, as there is an immense
number of inhabitants in the north, and a great propor-
tion of them Protestants, how is it that there is no inte-
rest displayed in obtaining for them church accommoda-
tion. The f,ct of the matter is, Popery and Puseyism
have got so great and firm a tooting with many that other-
wise wou'd befriend the cause, that if some other assist-
ance, do not appear soon, all the population of the north
pa t of the town will be compelled to go either to St.
Marti.,'s or to St Anthony's, and those in the west of
this quarter to St. Paul's, or to St. Mary's, in Edmund-
street.

1•11 w. sir, to of

ste this, there

engaved is Semland-road, called St. Peter's Srottish
Church, cannot this be obtained for Protestant worship,
or can any of your friends point out any plan by which a
church can be obtained in the required neighbourhood?
If it can be f-orlv stated how the building is to be ob-
teined, and sufficient encouragement given, there is no
doubt but the end can be accomplished.—Your obedient
servant, J. C.

THE MERCURY'S CRITIQUE ON M. MICHE-

LET'S WORK

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SlR,—Referring to your polite notice of my last com-
munication, I may observe that it was not my intention
to impute to yourself the authorship of the objtctions inti-
mated by the writer in the Record. The considerations
involved in such an objectio❑ do not, however, bear ex-
clusivtly or chitfly upon the projected " Evangelical Al-
liance." They have a higher importance and a wider ap-
plication, in general connexion with the pursuit of reli-
gious controversy, and also with the interchange of Chris-
tian courtesy and regard.

cept at
another

Jled you with t

is note, ex-

.ffords me an opportunity of saying a word on

In the Mtrcury of this morning, I per-
ceive a critique on Michelet's work, " Priests, Women,
and Families ;" some extracts from the translation of
which have recently- appeared in your journal. How is
it, that the Mercury, which so publicly and repeatedly
proclaims its professions of fair dealing with all parties,
should invariably allow its observations on subjects affect-
e I ing the Romf.sh Church to be dictated by those who are

themselves members of that body? This is as evidently
the case, in the brief but characteristic article on Mtche-
let, as in the comment on Honge's proceedings, which ap-
peared in the same paper a few weeks since. What is
there in the Church of Rome, that renders it needrul, in
the opinion of some of our countrymen, for none but her
adherents to be allowed to bear witness, when her au, ho-
rity or reputation are called in question? Is there no im-
nal tiality to be met with, except among such as are inte-
rested in her defence ? and can none be trusted to speak of
her but those whose faculties have been trained by her-
self, and who are accountable to her authority in their
exercise?

Alichelet employs high colouring; but his outlines are
as indisputably correct as his statements are vividly im-
pressive. They are confirmed by the observation of liv-
ing men, as well as by the testimony of history. The
naked and appalling facts of priestly profligacy cannot be
veiled by such flimsy disguises as the drapery of mere
words.

Were we, for the fake of argument, to admit that Mi-
chelet and some of his fellow.labourers in the emancipa-
tion of the French mind, are tainted with infidel or ratio-
nalistic principles, what would be the obvious inference,
but that which expericnce has recorded in the invariable
reaction of an enslaving superstition ? Rome has so ma-
nacled her subjects, that when they attain their liberty
they are unfitted by their training for orderly and healthy
action. The wild waywardness of French scepticism is
like that of some untamed animal, whose early discipline
is imprisonment, whose youthful development a con-
strained obedience, and whose freedom, when attained by
force, is asserted by a violent and fearful retaliation.—
ANGLICANUS.

THE EAST INDIA AND CHINA ASSOCIATION
DUTY ON TEA.

A sp,cial meeting of this body was held on Thursday,
Charles Turner, Esq., in the chair.

The CnAramAN said that no doubt the members felt
great disappointment that Sir 11. Peel had not, in his fi-
nancial propositions, at all alluded. to tea, the increased
consumption of which would increase the export of ma-
nufactures. The meeting had been called to consider
whether they could induce the minister to reconsider the

question.
Mr. Nicol, said they bad already strongly represented
to the treasury the great advantages of a reduction of the
duty on tea, which would greatly increase our exports to
China, and extend the Consumption of the article itself;
but their representation bad been passed over without no-
tice, and Sir R. Peel had introduced reductions on a num-
ber of paltry things which would do more harm than
good. China had reduced the duty on British manufac-
tures, which did not now exceed five per cent., vet still
the duties were left on the productions of China. 'He no-
ticed seven of the items in the proposed new tariff—such
as the reduced duty on French bo ts, shoes, and hats,
brandy, and gin, &c., which he thought was impolitic.
He thought the people should be snconraged to drink tea
rather than spirits. The whole reductions were paltry
with the exception of that on the corn duty. It was on
national grounds that the association sought a reduction
of the tea duty : on such grounds Mr. Cobden urged the
abrogation of the core-laws, but the minister did nothing
in that respect until a quarter of a million was subscribed
to swamp the:county registration! He (Mr. N.) would
rather that the duties were retained on brandy and tal-
low, and taken off tea. He suggested that they should
call en their representatives to take up the matter, and
that they should communicate with Glasgow, Hull, &c.,
by deputation on the subject.
Mr. RATHBONE did not altogether concur with Mr.
Nicol, and was favourable to all •reductions of duty that
might be proposed. They should take all they could
get. He thought it advisable to memorialize Sir R. Peel
as to tea, reminding him of the now admitted principle
that in most articles the lower the duty the higher the
revenue. He thought the reduction on French hats,
shoes, &c., would benefit the poorer classes. The reduc-
tion of the duty on tea would benefit the West Indies, as
it would increase the consumption of sugar. It would
also increase our trade with China. He suggested a me-
morial to that effect.

_Mr, WINCH thought the proper course would be to pe-
tition both houses of Parliament. China, by largely re-
ducing the duties on imports, was entitled to a response
at our hands.

Mr. POTTER thought an application for a reduction of
the duty on tea of Bd. would be more successful than the
reduction formerly proposed of Is.
Mr. BRODRIBB showed that the present high rate of
duty acted as a prohibition to the consumption of the
lower and higher qualities of tea.
After a short conversation, Messrs. Potter. Winch,
Scott, Rawson, Nicol, and Steains were appointed a com-
mittee to propose a memorial, to appoint a deputation. and
to take the necessary steps to bring the subject before
Parliament.
