THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

ANOTHER ANTI-MONOPOLY ATTACK UP-
ON THE CONSERVATIVE OPERATIVES
OF TOXTETH-PARK.

On Friday evening last, the clique of busybodies, who
style themselves the A nti-monopoly Association of Liver-
pool, for no other reason that we can imagine eecept
that they dare not in this town appear in their true
colours, as bond slaves of " the League," called another
meeting of " the electors of South Toxteth Ward," at
which Mr. Murray, of Manchester, was again their lead-
ing spouter. Mr. James Harvey, jun., was in the chair,
and amongst the influential (!) gentlemen present we
noticed Mr. Charles Holland, Mr. S. Boult, and a few
others. If gentlemen were scarce, however, there was
a plentiful gathering of policemen—as, indeed, there has
been at all these meetings ; for what purpose, however,
or by whose authority we know not. If the people of
Liverpool, however, are to pay policemen for the purpose
of running here and there to preserve from possible in-
jury the weak heads of all the noodles who fancy that
they can spout supreme wisdom, they had better be told
so at once, as it would be infinitely more conducive to the
public safety that a portion of the force—say thirty or
forty men—should be set apart for this special purpose
(who might, for distinction's sake, be called " The
Leaguer's Body Guard ") rather than that whole dis-
tricts of the town should be left for hours together unpro-
tected whenever these gentlemen choose to indulge in
their vagaries. We recommend this subject to the con-
sideration of the Watch Committee. It is one quite
worthy of their notice.
The proceedings were opened by Mr. MURRAY, whose
discourse was merely a repetition of those already de-
livered by him—his leading arguments being, that before
the corn laws were in operation pauperism was rare,
convictions few; and that under the corn laws pauper-
ism and convictions materially increased ; ergo, the corn
laws must be the cause. In addition, he argued that
Adam was a repealer; and we dare say that he could
hr. ve proved with equal ease that the old serpent was a
monopolist /
He was followed by CHAS. HOLLAND, who advocated
cheap food and removal of all protective duties, with his
usual elegance of diction and manners, but without stat-
ing how the necessary revenue was to be raised, or bring-
ing forward one single argument to prove his voluble
assertions. He concluded with moving a resolution con-
demnatory of all protective duties.
Mr. J. LoNGWoRTH, an operative shipwright, then
got up, and said he had art amendment to propose,.hut
before he did so he wished to make a few remarks. He
was glad to see Mr. Boult and Mr. Holland on the plat-
forinf as he wished to bring to their recollection a- meet-
ing which took place. at the Shipwrights'-rooms, some
time since, when he put a questien to the Leaguers which
they refused to answer. It was with reference to the
glove trade of this country. The two gentlemen now
present wished French gloves to be imported free of duty,.
stating the hardship of those wearing gloves having to
pay 3s. 6d, for what they could get from France fords.
fid.; and the question he put was, what they would do
with the Englieleglove makers under these circumstances,
and in what way they would employ them when their
trade was ruined.. This question they did not answer ;
and further, when it was known that he was opposed to
their fallacies he was immediately put down, and not
allowed to speak.. He- then put the question to them
through the Stantlaelt newspaper; and what was their
answer ? did they behave like gentlemen to a'poor man ?
No.; but they stated.,through a Radical print, that he
should have no answer,—that he was a paid servant of
the church. He had no doubt they were ashamed of
such conduct ; at all events, they looked as though they
were.. This, then, is the way with the League., Their
profession and practice are totally opposite. That'meet-
ing seas stated to be a meeting of the sbipwrightS;, but
he would prove that not more than five shipwrights were
present-, The speaker then entered into the nuestionyand
provedtbthe satisfaction of the meeting that the Leaguers
were not to be trusted ; that their views were selfish and
political ;-and that their desire was to reduce the wages
of the operatives, and to put the saving in their own.
pockets. He then called upon thossegentlemen to answer
his question, what they would do with the glove
makers when their trade was gone ;. and concluded with,
proposing an amendment condemning the principles and
views of the League.
Mr. BGLI.IT then rose, and after floundering about'
evidently at a non plus, stated, that the English glove
makers were clumsy workmen, and must learn to work
letter, or tzern.lo something else. ro They had no right
to look for protection from the residue of the country.
(Dissatisfaction.) He said he had been at Barnstable
lately, where the shipwrights only got 2s. 2d. a-day.
(Great uproar.) '
Mr. HOLLA,Nythen said that it was clear to him that
they would be defeated at that meeting.;. indeed he knew
that public opinion in these wards• was strongly against
them ; but he trusted that some seed had been sown that

evening which would bring forth fruit on some future

oc asion.

The amendment-ta the original motion was then put,
when the amendment was carried by a large- majority,
and the meeting quietly separated.
[We are quite of the opinion expr3ssecY above by Mr.
Charles }Tolland, that "some seed has -been sown, by

Mr. Holland, seed like this, will bear fruit. It will show

WRECKED Goons,—The loss of the Zeno, and other
similar catastrophes•that have of la►e occurred, have sup-
plied several of oar ,large drapery establishments with
abundant stocks of damaged goods. The most extensive
we have seen displayed is that of Mr. Jones- (whose ad-
vertisement appears-in another column) :.it includes al-
most every article of 'Manchester manufacture, as well as
a quantity of fine linens, most of which are but slightly
damaged, and are offered at prices truly, astonishing.
CORONER'S 4vasTs.—During the past year, as we
find from the official return, the coroner for this borough
has held no less than four hunched and thirty-four in-
quests. The following are the results :--26found drowned,
30,burnt, 112 accidentally killed, 1 wrong treatment at
birth, 116 visitation of God, 10 injured, no, evidence how,
16 suicide, 13 still born, 19 found dead, 17 accidentally

FEMALE OrtitilAN ASYLUM.—On Sunday, the church
of St John the Evangelist, Hope-street, was re-opened,
after having undergone various improvements t nd embel-
lishments internally. Ihe pulpit, reading-desk, and com-
munion-table h&ve been removed from the eastern to the-
western end ; and the pews have been covered with blue
merino, which has a pleasing effect. The sermon in tile,
morning was- preached by the Rev. Jonathan Brooks,
senior rector, and that in the evening by the Rev. T.
Macgill, curate of Liverpool ; and appeals were made
after both in aid of the Female Orphan Asylum. We
noticed the Mayor, Councillor Aikin, and several members.
of the Council among the congregation in the forenoon.
The collection in the morning amounted to £26 Gs 6d., and
in the evening to £27 3s 6d.

DINNER OF THE LIVERPOOL CHESS CLUB

On Friday evening the members and friends of the Li-
verpool Chess Club held their annual festive meeting at
the Adelrhi hotel,where, to the number of about
sixty. they sat down to a sumptuous dinner, in the large
banquetting room. Mr. A. Mongredien ably occupied
the chair, and Mr. Schwabe the vice chair. Amongst
those who supported them were, Mr. G. Perigal, secre-
tary of the London Chess Club, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Wm.
Lockerby, sen., Mr. J. Smith, Mr. Baines. of the Liver-
pool Times, Mr. Swale, Dr. Carson, Mr. Potter, and
other chess players of the town, and strangers. The viands
were of the choicest kind, and admirably prepared, the
dessert and fruits varied and excellent, and the wines of
the finest flavour.
At the conclusion of the repast, the CHAIRMAN gave
" The Queen," which was drunk with enthusiastic ap-
plause. In proposing the next toast, he expressed his
delight at the continued prosperity and increase of the
society. He alluded to the interest excited by the late
contest in chess at Paris, between the French and English
players, and its triumphant result to the latter. They
still, however, numbered only sixty members, and he
would not be satisfied until that number was more than
doubled. There were good players amongst their towns-
men who did not belong to their club, and they would do
well to test their powers by joining it. Some persons said
that the study of chess was a waste of time, which would
be better devoted to mathematics ; but the chances were,
that those who kept aloof from them would do neither.
Then there were " modest players," who shrunk from
joining them, as they were but young in the art ; but they
would be glad to receive the most infantine essayists in the
game, as they had players of all grades to practice with
them. After relating an amusing anecdote of his own
early attempts, and his astonishment at finding players so
superior to those whom he had deemed the best, he re-
marked that the greater the player the greater number of
moves he could analyze, and complimented the great Mr.
M`Donnell, who had analyzed eight moves, the greatest
yet known to have been accomplished. He concluded by
proposing " Prosperity and permanence to the Liverpool
Chess Club," which was drunk with great applause.
Mr. SPENCE being called upon for the next toast, in a
very feeling and eloquent address, proposed the immortal
memory of the two great departed players of two rival
nations, " M. Labourdonnais and Mr. M`Donnell," the
second great player who had brought chess to rank as a
science. He eulogised the noble game of 'Chess, which
was calculated to beguile the cares that would otherwise
beset us, and thus to add to the sum of human happiness.
He facetiously adverted to the recent mimic warfare be-
tween the two countries, in which castles were overthrown,
knights knocked down, and even queens placed in equi-
vocal positions; and apprehended they must prepare for
a terrible invasion by the French players. The toast was
drunk in solemn silence.
The VICE-CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast,
said it was the health of one to whom they were indebted
for the honours the society had achieved ; whose hospi-
table domicile was open to every chess-player who came
to the town, and who ever found in him a ready and ge-
nerous competitor in the noble game ; and whose varied
acquirements in other departments had also commanded
for him the respect and esteem of all who knew him :
Mr. Mongredien, the president. The toast was drunk
with loud cheers.-

The CHAramitisr, in returning thanks, said he was well
repaid if his services- had been of any advantage to the
club; He had been, connected with it ever since he came
to the town, and would, he hoped, so continue while be
remained amongst them. He begged to propose the health
of Mr..Staunton (whose excellent work on chess should
be in the hands of every player). This was heartily drunk,
and warfollowed by the song by the Chairman of " The
brave old Oak."
Mr. SWALE (we believe) adverted to the indefatigable
exertions of their honorary secretary, whose regularity
of attendance at their weekly meetings, and his devotion
to the interests of the cluh,entitled him to their warmest
gratitude. He proposed the health of that gentleman—
Mr. Spreckley. Tne toast was drank with much applause,
Mr. Porter' sung, with Erfach spirit, " A Life in the
Woods for me."

Mr. CRUTT; NDEN paid a high compliment to the trea-
surer, Mr. Schwabe, and proposed his health.
Mr. SCHWATIE, in returning thanks, modestly dis-
claimed the merit ascribed to him, stating that all was due
to the secretary, who did almost every thing himself, and
did all for the best. He proposed the health of a most
ingenious player, who had honoured them with his com-
pany that evenins, Mr. Perigal, of the London Chess
Club, who would ever be found a worthy opponent by any
one who played with him.

Mr. PERIGAL ably returned thanks. He could assure
them that if any of them went to the metropolis they
would find a sincere and hearty welcome, not only from
the Chess Club there,- but from the Pcilytechnic Society,
which was more numerous. He proposed the health o f
Mons. St. Amant, in connection with the' only French
publication on chew—the Palarnede.; (Cheers.)
Mr. Woon, in proposing the health of the Parisian
chess players, remarked on the great kindness and assist-
ance which they had given to our players when they were
in France, and gave " General Guingret"and the "Cercle
(1,,,5' &hem." (Much applause.)
Mr. STEWART, after stating that they wern- greatly in-
debted' to the press, said there was one amongst them who
beonged to that engine of instruction and information,
who, whether in his public or private capacity was a straight
forward,. manly English gentleman, whom everybody must
esteem. He proposed the press of Liverpool, coupled
with the name of Mr. )wines. (Cheers.)
RAINNs ably replied to the toast,
Mr. LOCKERBY proposed the heal

Mr. SWAtE recited a comic piece on " Law," from
Stephens, which excited much merriment.
'lie VICE-CHAIRMAN proposed the hearth of Mr. John
Gregory Jones, to whom the club was much indebted when
in its infancy, and whom, after an absence of some years,
they were glad to see amongst them again, (Cheers.)

us to this brie? sketch. Suffice it to say, that the evening.'
was passed in an harmonious and delightful manner; and
that•the party did not retie from the festive board until a
late hour, all highly gratified with the proceedings of the
evening.

COMITMENTS.—On Wednesday last,:a boy named
W Milliam Wood was committed for trial by .Mr. Rushton
for stealing and absconding with £lO 10s, in gold, and a'
gold watch chain, from the shop of Mr. Pearson, news-
agent, Lord-street. He had lived near Orrnskirk, and
wes.cpprehended in that quarter. The chain arid £6 6s.
of the money were recovered.—Same da?, John Gibbons,
(one of six youths who had been seen going from shop to
shop with evil intent) was committed for trial for stealing,
on Tuesday, a piece of black silk handkerchiefs, from the
shop of Mr. Barwise, in Byrom. street. The article, worth
225., was traced to his lodgings.
THE ROYAL AMPIIITIMATRE.—The effors of the
spirited manager of this popular placed amusement were
last week again rewarded by the attendance of crowded
and respectable audiences,--the American giant, hlr. C.
Freeman, being a great attraction, in addition to stage

PAUPERS IN DAT.KNESS—IMIIUDENCE OF TUE ATER-
curor.—A few weeks ago, the Mercury, in a note to cor-
respondents, in reply to a question
i whether the authori-
ties had power to prevent paupers n the Workhouse from
reading the Liverpool newspapers, stated that " was
unable to say what they cannot do in these days, but that
it would be tyrannical to use such power." After this
apparently candid avowal of a dislike to such tyranny, a
letter was sent to the Mercury by an unfortunate but .e'vi-
dently intelligent ‘` pauper," stating that an old man in
the house had until recently been in the habit for years of
regularly taking the Mercury ,'nether with the SrAN-
DARD, for the use of himself and others who contributed
their mite to the purchase; but that they were now de-
nied, in their seelusiou from the world, the privilege of
teeing any paper whatever; and, after stating that he was
informed that the 26th article of the Instructions of tha.
Poor-Law CornmisslEPTers—p-roliThited- " papers of an im-
moral tendency, and those likely to produce insubordina,
tion among" the people, the writer requests the Mercury,
" the friend of civil and religious liberty," and the pro-
fessed opponent of such tyrannical use of power, to take
up the cause of the pauper in this particular. But no !
the Mercury's denunciation of such oppression was all
moonshine; and in place of taking up the poor man's
cause, as he was in decency and consistency bound to do,
or to eat up his previous profession, he indulges in a piti-
ful retort upon us, which only conveys an unfeeling insult
to his unfortunate correspondent. He merely states, in
his last Friday's paper, that the "Instructions" prohibit
only " papers of an improper tendency" ; and adds, with
the most consummate assurance, " the prohibition may
apply to our contemporary, but certainly not to ours"!
In other words, he arrogantly assumes that our paper is
of " improper tendency," and that his oven is so pure
and immaculate that its admission cannot be doubted.

rioours, was the bona fide and aboriginal proJuction of
his friends the whig-radicals, in his support of whom be
would cast the rights of the suffering poor to the winds :
and well may the poor man who has landed us the corre-
spondence in question, exclaim—" This ha niches another
proof that the editor of the Mercury contends more for
party than for principles, or for justice,"—a rebuke not
the less unenviable in that it conies from a poor inmate
of the Workhouse. With respect to the prohibition in
question, we consider it as further evidence of the uncon-
stitutional principle, too conspicuous in several portions
of the Act, which gees to consider poverty as a crime,
and not as a misfortune. Even persons confined for mis-
demeeno m's are sllowed to read newsprpers if they can
procure them. We con but add, that though we are no
friend s to many of the clauses of the Poor Law, we never
have inculcated, and never shall inculcate, insubordina-
tion

TRADE OF THE PORT OF LONDON.

The following details, furnished by the report of the
St. Katherine Dock Company, may be interesting to our
readers. The number of ships which had entered those
docks in the two years, 1842 and 1843, were as follows:
1842. 1343.
Ships. Tons. Ships. Tons.
With cargoes
Entered light to load 298 31,696 328 32,334

Total .... 890 181,513 936 186,469
Showing an excess in 1843 of 46 ships and of the aggre-
gate
register tonnage of 4,966 tons.
The comparison may easily be made between
amount of business done by the St. Katherine's Dock
and ore of our own, which does not contain the boasted
advantage of warehouses on its quays. We know- not
what would he its result but suggest inquiry. To enable
our readers to form an idea of the system of docks and
warehouses combined, viewed as a speculation, we mai
state, that the company has only been able to reconl•
mend a dividend of 2i per cent. upon the past half-year/
which certainly does not give us any extraordinary hope°
of the paying character of our own Albert Dock.
The trade of the whole port of London is thus stated/
from the same returns.

Total ..6,381 1,288,490 6,138 1,306,738
Showing a numerical decrease in 1843 of 243 British
ships with cargoes, but an increase in the tonnage of
;6,330; and in like manner, of 1,918 tons of foreign
shipping, although in number a decrease of 35 ; making
a total decrease in the number of loaded ships of 278,
but an increase in the tonnage of 18,248 registered tons,
This small amount, we suspect, will bear no proportion
to the increase in Liverpool during the same period. n
is in part, however, attempted to be accounted for by the
circumstance that the trade in corn from European ports
had materially declined in 1843-542,249 quarters less
of wheat alone, equal to 100,000 ship's tons, having been
landed in that year, as compared with the amount of the
preceding year's importation.

VICTORIA THEATRE.—The spirited exertions of Mr.
Holloway are appreciated by the playgoing public. The
house continues to be well filled, and the pieces are such
as give entire satisfaction. Mrs. Campbell, the leading
actress, takes her benefit this evening.
THE CHASE.—The Cheshire Foxhounds meet to-mor-
row (Wednesday), at Booth Obelisk; on Thnrsday, at
Mere Hall ; on Saturday, at Moulton; on Monday, at
Kingby Windmill;- on Wednesday, the 31st, at Beestoa
Castle; or, Thursday, Feb. 1, at the Three Greyhounds;
and on Saturday, the 3rd, at Crewe Hall ;—each morning
at ball-past ten.

that our highly-talented and honest tory contemporary,
the LIVERPOOL STANDARD; has now taken the lead of

LIVERPOOL CHARITABLE RoCIETY.--We beg to di-
rect the immediate and earnest' attention of our readers to
an advertisement which appears in our colamns of to-day,
announcing a sermon to be preached this evening, in aid
of this valuable society, at St. Mark's Church, by the
Rev.. Hugh M`Neile. We know of no society which,
amidst the present wide-spread destitution, deserves more
than this, the warm support of our fellow-townsmen.
They have a guarantee that their donations are judiciously
appropriated, in the fact that each applicant for assistance
from the funds is visited at his dwelling, and not relieved
unless found' to be a deserving object:

Callaghan, Dailey M`Donough, and Robert Quin, three
rough-looking Irishmen, together with Winifred Quin,
daughter of the last-named prisoner, were charged with
being in possession of base coin, implements for making
it, .&e. It appeared that from some information received
Inspector M`Donald, police-officer Keenan, and another,
went to the cellar in Garden lane, tenanted by Qnia and finding that the. light was put out when they anric'ked,
forced their way in, and found seven base shillings and
nine base sixpences, also a plaster of Paris mould, a pine
that-had been used in the operation of making base coin,
and an earthenware pipkin on the fire, with some molten
white metal in it. The evidence not being-quite complete
legally, they were all remanded until this day.,

this afternoon rather•hetter than they were yesterday, but
the dealings of the brokers have, nevertheless, been of
the most limited nature. The last quotations for the

ofeve the Loyal Orange Nelsen
Lodge, No. 27, celebrated the anniversary of the opening
of the lodge, by assembling at the house of Mr. Gelderd,
Ranelagh-street, and partaking of a very excellent supper,
which was provided in a manner that did credit to the
worthy ho'st. Mr. Richard Brooks, jun., the respected
master, occupied the chair, and was well supported by the
j tese Queen Victoria'
worthy deputy, Mr. Ward, who sustained the hilarity of
y
the evening.in a very creditahle manner. After the cloth
had been withdrawn, the master gave thensual loyal and
patriotic toasts, which met with a hearty response—a
response peculiar to those who feel the benefit of living
under the protection of a free, independent, and Protestant
constitution. About eleven o'clock several of the brethren
retired and shortly introduced their wives-and sweethearts,
upon which preparations were at once made for employ-
ing the rest of the evening in a manner which would prove
agreeable and amusing to the fair sea, and dancing was
commenced, and kept up with spirit. The order of the

on so confiding a class as the British sailors.

the annual meeting in aid of this useful and important object.
We are glad to find that increased attention is now being paid

on Mom'ay night, by the Revs. Hugh M`Neile, Falloon, and
others, we anticipate great attention will be paid to its objects.
