THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

flashy orator, the intemperate controversialist, the rash
and fool-hardy general would spoil and frustrate forever.
is-exactly the predicament of the church of Rome at
.this moment. To Providence alone we owe the 'happy
circumstance that O'CONNELL is the champion and leader
of the Romish church in Ireland. His character alone
would bring perdition on the best cause ever advocat-
ed by a human being. He has proclaimed doc-
trines which must arm against him—perhaps against
his guilty church, and so much the better—all
the Roman Catholic nobility of Europe. He has
thrown his rockets at random, and they have fallen with
far more deadly aim upon the • popish priests, and the
Roman Catholic families of noble birth, than upon the
protestants. The thunder-bolt fired by the Irish JUPITER
has struck the walls of Maynooth, and he it is who has
laid bare, or caused to be exposed, all the 'mysteries of
popery. No man in our day has done so much to injure
the cause which he was hired to uphold and extend than
DANIEL the mendicant. Every respectable Roman Catho-
lic must now detest his very name. The Pope must
ex-
Communicate him forthwith, or the " ould faith" will be
speedily extirpated in the sister island. The priests thefn-
selves must immediately disown and anathematise him, or
they will be houseless, penniless, and without a hand to help
them. O'CONNELL is tolerably safe—he can'afFord to re-
tire to Derrynane—and laugh. He has- heaped his
bushel and is independent.' But the poor " ould chUrch"
and' her priests they will have to pay fur all—and we
wish them joy !

THE CENTENARY OF THE REFORMATION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAI'D✓[RD.

SIR,-It was with the greatest pleasure that I read in your
paper of this morning an article reminding all true protestants
of the approaching 4th of October, and entreating them to com-
memorate it both as a day of rejoicing on account of our being
released from the darkness and errors of popery, and also as a
warning to the jesuitical faction that we are not yet arrived at
that pa;s that we will tanielytve up the '"c4atisis of triitli," in
which our forefathers fought and bled, or coldly look on and
without a struggle surrender our venerable establishment on
account of the bare outcry that is now raised against it.
The church in Ireland is at present the most assailable part
of the establishment, and, towards it are all the efforts of the
papists, aided by the "base, malignant Whigs," as their ally, or
rather master, a few months ago designated them, directed, and
the protestants there, disheartened by the coldness with which
their calls fur aid and countenance for the last five years have
been received, and affrighted by the midnight fires, the threat-
ened " death's head and cross-bones," and daily murders, are
emigrating in great numbers. Let us no longer be silent. Let
us show our fellow-protestants that we sympathize in their per-
secutions, and also that we are determined to succour them.
Let there, then, be given out in every church in England—in
the United Kingdom—next Sunday a notice, " That on the
next Lord's Day there will be a solemn fast to commemorate
the anniversary of the day which gave us our first true version
of the sacred Scriptures, and a collection made in aid of our des-
titute and persecuted brethren of Ireland." Let this he done :
it will arouse the sleeping protestants of England, give confi-
dence to the suffering protestants of Ireland, and sound such an
alaruin in the ears of the infidel and papistical factions, that
their hearts shall quake for very fear of our awakened ire, and
the arms that they have sacrikgiously stretched out to seize
the ark of the Lord shall be palsied and drop powerless.

CELEBRATION BY THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND
OF THE THIRD CENTENARY ANNIVERSARY
OF THE REFORMATION.

The presbytery of Edinburgh on Thursday last unanimously
resolved,—"'That sabbath se'nnight, the 4th October next,
being the third centenary anniversary of •1 he day on which the
printing of the first translation of the entire bible into English
was finished, be observed, within the bounds of the presbytery,
as •ar-day of thanksgiving, for the poisession,and continuance
amongst'us of the entire inspired scriptures in our own lan-
guage; and that the ministers of the respective churches be
instructed to direet"the attention *of their several congregations
on that occasion, to the special grounds of such thanksgiving,
More particularly as connected with the blessings of the refor-
illf tioh from popery."
'l'o-morrow, (Wednesday,) the 30th day of September, there
will he an extraordinary meeting at Edinburgh of The General
Assembly of the Church of Scotland, on urgent business, to
which heteafter we may have occasion to advert. This vene-
rable hotly will immediately enjoin on all congregations, under
its spiritual jurisdiction iu Scotland and elsewhere, the ob-
servance of the 4th October as a day of thanksgiving to the
Almighty for their deliverance from the thraldom of the impure
and intolerant church of Rome. We trust that protestant con-
gregations of every denomination will celebrate this important
religious festival throughout the British empire. We appre-
hend that a lamentable ignorance prevails both in Scotland
and England respecting the impure doc'rines of popery, and
ihe deep degradation, religious, utoral;---and infeltecttrat, Windt'
it requires of its unhappy votaries. Who, but with the mind
of a slaVe, debased by foul superstition, could submit to auri-
cular confession? Many
.are the unfortunate persons who have
told us in popish 'countries, that they were unacquainted with
the vices of the world, that they knew them not even by name,
until they ctlntracted, at the confessional, the' pollution front
which they never recovered. Equally detestable are many of
its othei,rites; yet to this unhallowed superstition would the
Melbourne ministry abandon immense districts of the west of
Ireland, by the inoliation of nearly a thousand protestant
churches in that benighted country. Arduous are the duties
of. the teachers of pure religion, who, under all circnnistances,
must obey the divine command to preach the gospel. No ap-
parent want of success must 'abate their zeal. For as the
lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west:
so shall also the cominct of the son of man be; and these are the
words of unerring wisdom.

LIVERPOOL POLICE

FilloA.Y.—(Before Mr. Alderman jott: Bouitxg and Mr.
Alderman HONSP A LL.)
• James Skilton made a complaint, that he was walking through
Dale-street, on Mouday night, " saying .nothing to nobody,'
when he met with Elizabeth Nuttall, one of the Ugliest pieces of
mortality that ever seduced the tickle fancy of mankind... lie
accompanied the frail lady into a house in Leather-latie, incau-
tiously exhibited his money, (some six pounds,) put it (lewd on
the table • it was suatchedup in a summary manner by another
female, Barker, also one of the frail sisterhood, who passed it on
to two other women who were on the stairs, and they passed it
on completely out of his sight. Ile gave information to the
police, who apprehended Nuttall and Barker. The money
not found, and the parties were remanded.
COMPLAINT BY AN APPRENTICE.
An Apprentice, named Vero, stated that he was bound appren-
tice to Mr. Evans, in May; went one voyage to Virginia in
one of his ships, the Grace, Capt. Reid, and complained of short
commons and hard work. Part of the work was painting the
ship on a Sunday. Complained of the short allowance, and
the cook told him he could have no more, as it went below. •On
one night, when coming up the channel, had only one hour's
_sleep in the twenty-four, and eight at other times.
Mr. Yates, attorney for complainant, said that the chief coin--
plaint was the painting on the Sunday.
James Laing, a seaman iu the Grace, said that he had seen
worse usage in other vessels; but they were well worked both
at sea and on shore. 'There was sufficient food allowed on the
outward and homeward voyage.
Mr. Florsfall said that ill-usage was not yet proved.
•- Mr. Yates.—There is the painting on the Sunday.
Mr. florsfall.—The witness does not prove it. I should like
to know if there was painting on a Sunday. ..
Captain Reid said that they did-paint on one Sunday, when
it was actually necessary. This only occurred once. He was
at this work no inure than one hour.
• 'Air. Horsfall.-=-The lad certainly seems not to have been over-
worked or under-fed.
Tile case was then dismissed, the naa.4ist rates considering that
the charge had not been proved. \ ern quitted the court
breathing indignation against his captain, and vowing he would
go to sea with him " never no more.'
PICTURE STEA I.ING.
Elizabeth Slater' was charged with stealing two pictures from
the shop of Mr. Kaye. carver and gilder, Lime-street. •
Mr. William Kaye stated that on Thursday the 10th instant.
he had put four pictures into the upper end of his shop. On the
Saturday following he missed the pictures, gave War:nation to
the police, and went.to the puns-office of Mr. Taustall; Sir
Thomas's-buildings, where he found one of the pictures, (a head
of Christ,) which the prisoner had pledged forts. 61 A:second
picture (a water-colour drawing) was discovered at MI'S. Lane's,
Sir Thomas's buildings, 'to whom it had been pledged for

Is. Cal. .
Alfred Tunstall and James Lad, assistants in the pawn-
nifita r.Tniast and -Mrs.- banes deposed _to the pawning,
by the prisoner in-her own name.
E. P. Lloyds, the constable, stated that on apprehending the
prisoner,she admitted haying pawned the pictures.
The prisoner said she had pawned the pictures, they having
been given to her for the purpose by some woman she met in
Whitechapel, and she had not seen her since.
Committed for the sessions.
Mr. Kaye said that he particularly regretted the two missing
pictures, as they were not his own property. Mr. Parlour said
that every exertion should be made by the police to recover
them. COMPLAINT AGAINST A CAPTAIN.
Philip Mahoney appeared as complainant against Captain
Vaughan, of the Albion, from St. John's, N. 8., and demanded
£7 10s. wages. It appeared, from Captain Vaughan's counter-
statement, that Mahoney had worked out his passage, by con-
sent of the owner, and had been bound (as was the custom) at
the rate of one shilling a-month, and his diet, &c., as appren-
tice. The articles were accordingly produced, and they bore
out the captain's statement.
The ease was dismissed, Master Philip Mahoney getting the
sum of one shilling for his month's labour, &c. He complained
most bitterly that the shilling had been inserted in the articles
since he made his complaint.
Mr. Ellis.—Then you are not entitled to even the shilling.
(A laugh.) TRICKS UPON TRAVELLERS.
A very respectable old lady appeared in the witness box, and
(the magistrate having left the court) thus addressed Mr. Par-
lour:—" Please your worship, I have to ask your advice on a
matter which appears to me a personal grievance of a very
grievous nature. I came from 'Preston yesterday afternoon—
was requested to navel inside the coach2-declined, saying that
it did not suit my means to go to the extra expense, and was
told Oh, never mind, do you go in.' I accordingly did travel
inside, and on arriving Liverpool my luggage was stopped
at the coach-office for the difference between the inside and
• the outside fare. Under these circumstauces I have come here
for advice."
Mr. Parlour.--It is a common and very disgraceful trick.
Where did the coach stop?
Complainant.—At the Wellington, I think.
Mr.,Parlour.—l am afraid your only remedy will be by an
action at law.—Mr. Parlour then sent Lloyd with the com-
plainant to the coach-office for the purpose of seeing whether
they would give up the luggage; if net, to return to him, that
he might see what further could be done. The lady departed iu
high goad huniour, accompanied by Lloyd. On arriving at the
coach-office, and stating the case, the luggage was instantly
given up-,the error of charging inside fare having originated at
Preston, not at Liverpool.
Th&coinplainant, we understand, belongs to Mr. Copeland's
corpS dramatique, lately acting at Lancaster and Preston, and
now on the move to Dumfries. Mr. Godfrey, who appeared on
the Liverpool boards, some time since, is now one of the same
company. The old lady, we are told, acted at Liverpool, thirty
years ago, under the name of Worrall.
YESTERDAY.—(Before Sir THOMAS BRANCKER.)
I:013BERY BY AN ERRAND,RO.Y.
Robert Dewhurst, a lad in the employ of Messrs. Silver and
Hayter, drapers and clothiers, of Lord-street, was charged with
stealing a couple' of new striped shirts, the property of his em-
ployers. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner offer-
ed a shirt to pledge with Thomas Higgiuson, a pawnbroker in
Paradise-street, and the latter,- suspecting it to be stolen, sent
for Captain Roberts, of the watch, who asked him in whose
employ he was? This being ascertained, Roberts took the
shirt to Messrs. Silver and Hayter, who identified it as their
property. —Robertsssuhsequently searched the prisoner's lodgs
ings, and there found pawn-tickets for other property belong-
ing to the complainants.—Thr prisoner was committed for trial.
ROBERRY IN ST. JOHN'S MARKET.
A man named William Price was charged by John Richards,
one of the constables of St. John's Market, with having, in
,the company of others, broken open a hogshead of apples and
stolen therefrom a•quantity of the flint. The case against the
prisoner was proved, but, .being only a trivial one. the magiss
tales committed hint to prison for one mouth, as a rogue and
vagabond. '
