and it may be very convenient to some
gentle', :n, as yet behind the scenes in this sad
drama, that there should be provided for him "an
entire and final withdrawal from the excitement of
political life." We have heard indeed, on the au-
thority of a party only a few hours ago returned
from the scene of the trial, some most sufficient
hints of the results which would follow the full
carrying out of the sentence of the law. The "ob-
stinacy" of the criminal might render him averse to
die with closed lips. Extraordinary and astounding
disclosures are talked of as very possible in such an
event, and it is not at all unlikely that the affair
has been arranged between the law officers of the
Crown and O'Brien's counsel. Neither the former
gentlemen, the Government which employs them,
nor certain reverend parties in Ireland—their pro-

person,

__,__s—are in a position to run any unnecessary
risks of their misdoings being brought before the
-world

We hope to be able to give, in the course of the-
day, the sentence—which will, no doubt, be that of
ignominious death—on the prisoner, to be after-
wards commuted to transportation for life.

are most happy to congratulate our readers
n the manufacturing districts upon the favourable
Jews which has been received by the Europa, ar-
,dterday from New York. We are informed,
on very first-rate authority, that the orders by her
for manufactured goods are upon a very large
scale—larger than have been received by any one
arrival during the last twelve months. It must be
borne in mind, too, that the Washington, steamer,
left New York on the same day as the Europa, for
Southampton, and may also be the bearer of ex-
tensive orders. The news, as to the yield of the
cotton crop, is most encouraging. The season for
picking is an excellent one, and the produce is set
down variously at 2,600,000, 2,700,000, and, as the
2,800,000 hales. The deliveries at the
ports, up to the latest dates, exceed those of any
past year, with the exception of 1845. We have,
therefore, the additional prospect of a low price of
the raw material to stimulate consumption, both
foreign and domestic.

rived ye

Tile stock of hreadstuffs in the States is reported
to be very great ; and the growers calculate confi-
dently upon exporting largely to this country. The
prices received out per the last steamer from here
are considered paying ones, and there is every dis-
position to meet our demand without exacting ex-
orbitant rates, which, in fact, the American growers
see that we shall not be disposed to pay, or be
under the necessity of paying. The advices, on the
whole, have given the greatest satisfaction to all
parties here.

WE beg to take our hat off, and make the po-
litest of acknowledgments to Mr. Henry Danson,
for a very timely admission, made by him during
____ Wednesday's discussion on the question of
working the Birkenhead Ferry. He is reported to
have stated that " the great objection to keeping
the Birkenhead Ferry open was that they employed
the public purse to compete with private enterprise."
On this very principle we have all along objected
to the mode in which the affairs of the Dock Estate
of this town have of late been managed. We ob-
ject to the Dock Committee setting themselves up
as coopers, smiths, masons, and engineers, with
" the public purse" to support them against the
enterprise of private coopers, smiths, masons, and
engineers. On the same grounds we objected to
their becoming warehousemen, our objections be-
lightened by their warehouses being made
-
to contribute to the local burthens, imposed upon
property in the hands of private individuals.
_ _ _ ~liten those which we entertain against them
carrying on other trades we look to the success of
the movement to rate their whole works. It is
only a measure of strict justice towards the indivi-
dual tradesmen, with whom they now compete.

MEETING OF THE WHIG RADICAL ELECTORS
OF WEST DERBY WARD, LAST NIGHT.

Yesterday evening a meeting of the Whig-radicals of this
ward was held at Mr. Coombes's, Grinfleld-street, for the pur-
pose, as stated in the placard, of selecting "for the represen-
tation some gentleman locally connected with its interests."
The meeting was not very numerous. Mr. THOMAS SMITH
having been voted to the chair, briefly opened the proceedings,
and stated that what they wanted was neither a mere speaker
nor a mere voter, but a man resident in the ward who could
use both his pen and his pencil, and especially would devote
his attention to an examination of the accourits, and to their re-
duction, where it was practicable, consistently with henesty of
expenditure. After a short pause the CHAIRMAN asked if any
one present had such a man to propose, and said, jokingly, that
it seemed to him that they were attending a kind of auction.

Mr. lIY. COWELL then'rose to explfiri what were the views
of the party of whom he was one, who attended the meeting by
which this was held. They wanted a man resident in the ward,
who would be himself affected whenever their burthens were
increased. A man's political opinions he would not consult in
making this selection. He regretted that Mr. Smith,
for he was the gentleman towards whom his predilections
leaned was present, as it prevented him saying much which he
had intended to say eulogistic of him. He would therefore
at once propose ➢lr. Thomas Smith as a gentleman fitted for
the office.

The motion was seconded, and the Chairman having ex-
plained that he would withdraw in order to allow the electors
to make an unbiassed choice, asked if any other geztleman had

a candidate to propose.
Mr. HARDY stated, that it was not the intention of any gen-
tleman in the meeting to propose a candidate, who alone ful-
filled the ri ^,,eht to be, as he
had h;- ,g. Mr
qmirt

f drawn up the placard calling the meet

Hardy went on into some personalities against Mr.
whom he termed a firebrand, &c., when a perfect uproar took
place, in the midst of which the chairman threatened to leave
the chair. Mr. Hardy having stated that no one but himself
should be heard, and that he should talk until the roof came
off the house, our reporter left, not choosing to undergo the
consequences of so serious a catastrophe.
We understand, that a fresh chairman was afterwards chosen
in the place of Mr. Smith, and that the proceedings com-
menced de novo.

Lin connexion with our Report last week, Mr. R. M. Beck-
with has come out with a ridiculous letter, which was pub-
lished in the Mercury of Friday. It would puzzle a philoso-
pher to find out what it is, precisely, that the gentleman means.
It is absurd to suppose that he would " retire," in the case
stated, because he "never would have consented to stand."
Mr. Beckwith, we suppose, like many unwise people, wanted
I to get into print, and hence this small storm in a straw bonnet
