eccentric politician, Mr. W. S. O'Brien, had its

utterer been a man less deeply dyed in falsehood
and treachery than Daniel O'Connell :
" It had been suggested to him, that if he consented to
cease his agitation for the repeal, the prosecutions would
be given up, or, if the trial went on, and a verdict was
had, that the Crown would not press for punishment—
that offer had been made to him."

As it is, what are we think of such an assertion ?
If it is one of the numerous inventions of this " bold
bad man," the Protestant people of England are
surely entitled to the proof of its falsehood. If it is
a truth, then, what are we to think of a government
which could commit the folly of entrusting its repu-
tation to the keeping of such a man, and, above all,
could harbour the thought of degradation so utter—
of TREASON so base—as would be the compro-
mising with arraigned traitors against the constitu-
tion of Great Britain ?

Since the above was written, the Morning Herald,
which is generally received as the organ of govern-
ment, has declared, emphatically, that " there is not
the slightest shadow of a foundation for the state-
ment made by O'Connell ;" and further assures its
readers—

" That statement is utterly false—false in every particu-
lar. We KNOW it to be false, and we publicly pr-)claim it
to he false, if it be meant to convey an impression, as we
presume it was, that any suggestion offering any sort of
compromise, or, (to preclude the possibility of miscon-
ception,) that any kind of suggestion has been made to
Mr. O'Connell in reference to the pending prosecutions,
or to the Repeal agitation, by any party who could even
pretend to have the requisite authority for making it."

We long to hear the reply of O'Connell to this
point-blank denial.

THE NATIONAL SCHOOLS.-011 Sunday two sermons
were preached in Saint Augustine's Church, Shaw-street,
by the Rev. John Jones, and the Rev. Hugh Al 'Neile, in
behalf of the schools in immediate connexion with this
Church.—These two learned divines, in the course of
their Sermons, which were attentively listened to by very
full congregations, clearly pointed out the great and pa-
ramount importance of the blessings and advantages of
early scriptural education. These schools, under their
zealous and excellent pastor the Rev. Dr. Tattershall, are
in a state of great efficiency; upwards of four hundred
children of the poor receiving daily, in addition to all
useful secular instruction, the elementary principles of
gospel truth. The collections amounted to upwards of
£BO.

LAW-SUIT BETWEEN PRESCOT AND

WHISTON.

The past week has been an important one to the in-
habitants of Prescot and the adjoining township of Whis-
ton. The subject of controversy was the boundary of the
two townships. It appears that Whiston has on several
occasions laid claim to a piece of land which the township
of Prescot is in possession. The disputed lands are the
demesne lands of the lord of the manor, and Prescot-
hall, and the matter has been left to the decision of the
Tithe Commissioners and Mr. Mathew, the assistant
commissioner, sat in the Town-hall, Prescot, hearing
counsel on both sides for four days. The question arose
on the question of which township was bound to relieve a
pauper.

Mr. BRANDT opened the case on Wednesday, on
the part of Whiston, by stating, that the principal in-
quiry was whether these lands were in Prescot or Whis-
ton. He stated, that so far back as the reign of Henry
the Eighth, the watercourse, which they contended was
their boundary, was in existence. He put in a document
of the 14th Henry VIII., which had been found in the
possession of the Whiston authorities, and which he con-
tended pointed to what they consider their boundary.
He also produced three land tax papers of the date of
1692, where these lands were assessed to Whiston ; he
said that the constable of a township was always c
to the district for which he was appointed; that the con-
stables of Whiston had acted on that estate, and that the
county coroner had taken inquests there. He also pro-
duced two or three cases and opinions in which the Pres-
cot authorities, he contended, had stated that the lands in
dispute were in Whiston. The above were all the docu-
mentary evidence which was put in on the part of Whis-
ton, with the exception of two maps of recent date.
They relied much upon the tithes of Prescot Hall estate
having been collected with the tithes of Whiston, although
he a lowed that it had been immemorially rated to Pres-
cot in all rates. In sup; ort of his case Mr. Brandt
called several witnesses, and closed his case on Thursday
night.

Mr. JAMES, on Friday, opened the case on the part of
Prescot. He contended that the document of the reign
of Henry VIII., brought forward by Mr. Brandt, was
useless for the purpose of establishing a case in favor of
the people of Whiston ; because, in the first place, the
present watercourse did not answer the description con-
tained in it ; and, secondly, if it had been ever so definite,
its being unsupported by any evidence strewing that
Whiston ever had possession of the disputed lands under
it, and does away with any effect that it might otherwise
be supposed to have ; he should produce documents which
would prove beyond doubt that this estate had always
been treated as part of Prescot ; he would also produce
living witnesses, whose testimony would go at least as far as
his opponents ; and would shew that, whatever the Whis-
ton people might have thought, the Prescot people had
never any idea of any other boundary, save that contended
for by them.
Mr. JAMES then put in a map made in 1750, where no
trace of the Whiston water-course was visible : he put in
a lease, dated 1612, of Prescot Hall and lands and certain
rights to Thomas Malbon, from the lords of th -f

EXTRAORDINARY COMMOTION AMONGST GOOD
HOUSEWIVES.—A contemporary, whose sources of in-
formation extend even. into "the bowels of the earth," if
he is not also, like Gltadower, on visiting acquaintance
with the " spirits of thk vasty deep," propound,:
Tuesday last, the following oracular and awful warning
" We recommend good housewives to lose, no time in
looking into the state of their coal cellars 1" And to
clench so significant_an appeal to the prudent and careful

amongst womankind, the writer continued, " for if the
colliers turn out," &c. " coals will be much dearer before
Christmas"—a conclusion which, as the old song has it,
" nobody can deny!" Had a thunderbolt fallen down the
grid, or a policeman been found secreted in the pantry of
every house in Liverpool and its suburbs—in every house,
at all events, by whose inmates our sublime contemporary
is read—a greater amount of consternation could scarcely
have been excited than was the result of this awful an-
nouncement. There was a universal " getting down
•

stairs" from breakfast, drawing, and dining rooms into
the subterranean apartments. Committees of inquiry sat
in every coal vault. Scuttles were everywhere overhauled :

grates were contracted with a view to prevent the waste of
the precious material, coal ; and, in some quarters the
sifting of the cinders was tremendous. For some days
the run upon the banks (in the coal yards) was incessant
and the charge of getting in a load was raised from six-
pence to one and twopence ! Up to the moment of pub-
lication we are not in receipt of any further information
with respect to this impending calamity—this threatened
decrease in the supply of caloric. Our contemporary's
reporter is, however, no doubt actively employed under-
ground ascertaining the precise state of affairs, amongst
the ebony-faced gentlemen who are said to be conspiring
to freeze us ; and if anything very important transpires,
as the result of his explorations, we shall probably give it
in an early second edition. In the meantime, good house-
wives should be very, very careful, and put the cook upon
half allowance of coal, taking the precaution to padlock
the cellar door.

THE LONDON TIMES ON THE STATE OF IRELAND.—
The following graphic description of the state of Ireland
appeared in an article in the London Times of Friday
last. Our readers will perhaps think the expectation
rather a Quixotic one, that a catalogue of evils so awful
can be wiped out, either by the tampering truckling
measures of whig - radicalism, or by the payment
by the state of the priesthood of Ireland, as re-
commended by the Times, and some small journal-
ists who pipe in echo of the " Thunderer" of Printing
House-square :—" The main and chronic evils of Ireland
are defective laws, defective sustenance, hostile classes—
which latter may be resolved into enmity of races—and
hostile religions, all deeply interwoven with each other,
and all aggravated by ignorance inveterate and endemic.
Organised or institutional power has for centuries been
in the hands of a conquering race, which has until lately
used it to the detriment of a defeated people, having still
the preponderance of elementary or physical power. The
laws of the 17th and last part of the 18th century were
made for the enjoyment of the armed few, and for the en-
durance of the multitude disarmed—a state of things
which could not have been lasting. This opposition,
therefore, between the nature of the laws and that of the
community, has been one cause that retarded the growth
of civilization, being in fact a state of legalized oppres
sion, which fretted and ulcerated the mind of the whole
natio i—of one part through the thirst of change, of the
other through jealous dislike of the purposes for which
change was demanded. The uncivilized habits of the
Irish have made them callous to so much of their poverty
as does not press upon them in the shape of actual
hunger, and have therefore tended to perpetuate that
poverty through successive generations, Dirt and squa-
lidness in all their abominable influences—rags even to
nakedness—daily irregularity, disorder, and confusion in
the household—boundless ignorance, yet unbridled curi-
osity—fawning endurance of insult at the time, but a
spirit of foul and insatiable vengeance afterwards—ran-
cour and attachment, each carried to excess towards their
respective objects—insolence alternating with adulation—
cowardice wreaking its cruelty in murders of the helpless,
exhibited by one and the same person, with daring courage
in the field of battle, against the brave—incessant loqua-
city, with profound secrecy—treacherous baseness held in
no dishonour towards a foe, nor barbarity towards a

The decision will not, of course, be known for the pre-

NATIONAL SOCIETr.—A circular has been issued by
the bishops to the clergy in their respective churches, in-
closing a copy of the Queen's letter, requiring in each
church or chapel a sermon in behalf of this admirable
society, from the operations of which the children of the
poor derive such unspeakable advantages. The sermons
are to be preached on such Sunday before the Ist day of
June nest, as the clergy may judge most favourable to the
purpose.

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.--By the decease of the late Mr.
Moss, vicar of Walton, the lectureship attached to St.
John's Church in this town becomes extinct ; and by the
provision of the act on which the church was sold, the
Rev. William Falloon, who is now sole minister, has the
power of appointing his own curate, for whose stipend
£lOO per annum is secured by act of parliament. The
demise of the lecturer gives no increase of stipend to the
present incumbent. The want of light is at present felt
in this church, but we have reason to hope that the gas
will soon be supplied, and that dense district be thereby
benefited by a weekly evening service.

LOYAL ORANGE INSTITUTION.—OR Wednesday last,
a meeting of the Grand Committee of the Loyal Orange
association was held at Newton, at which deputations
attended from Liverpool, Wigan, Ashton, &c. Several
resolutions, having for their object the good government
of the body, were passed, and much valuable and cheering
information communicated upon the subject of the steady
advancement of the order and of the principles which it
is formed to carry out. After the meeting, the members
of the various lodges present sat down to a sumptous
dinner, at the Horse and Jockey, at which the usual
loyal toasts were given, and the harmony kept up until the
hour of their departure by the Railway train. It may not
be generally known that the Grand Protestant Confeder-
ation has recently been united to the Orange body, thus
enablng it to assume its legitimate position, as the most
powerful body, organised for the support of protestantism,
in Great Britain.

" A NIGHT WITH PUNCH": MR. W. J. HAMMOND'S
ENTERTAINMENT AT THE PORTICO.—A most amusing
entertainment has been got up by Mr. W. J. Hammond,
entitled " A Night with Punch." He has been extremely
successful in London with it, and last night gave his old
friends and admirers in Liverpool an opportunity of
judging whether the metropolitan papers have been telling
truth in their very favourable notices of him. As far as
we can judge, they have not done him justice; they have
not spoken well enough of this amusing essay. There is
many a one whose " nights with punch," of Radley's or
Lynn's fabrication, have had cause'to regret their com-
panionship; but the only bead ache that can arise from
Hammond's " Punch" will be from the excessive
laughter that is produced by a dose of it. Following in
the plan of Mathews, Yates, Russell, Reeve, and Miss
Kelly, Mr. Hammond continues to keep his audience in

ones, and merry matters, for a good two hours and
