To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SIR,—For its own safety, it is necessary that something be
dose by the Share Brokers' Association, in the present state of
affairs.

In Manchester, the principle of " selling out" is totally dis-
continued, because the expulsion of an individual f•om the Stock
Exchange does not furnish the "seller out" with the dife,•ence,
This awful work is bringing ruin upon many. who are con-
sidered and consider themselves strong. But one is dependent
on the other, and like a set of bricks, when one gives way the
others shake, and are at last precipitated from their position.
The Brokers, the whole of the body, are in frightful danger;
the means of safety are in their own hands. Let them look to it.

Yours, A BROKER,

With the cessation of this hot-headed and suicidal
practice, we feel assured that we should shortly see a
fair and healthy amount of confidence restored. The
following paragraph, which we quote from the Morning
Herald of yesterday, satisfies us that if brokers would
only be prudent and forbearing, we have already seen the
worst of the crisis :

"The decline in the Railway Shares seems to have reached
its limit, and to-day it will be found, on reference to the list,
that in several cases there was an upward reaction. People
begin to think, as in all cases of the kind, that they have been
too rash and indiscriminate in their sales, and it is also found
that several of the newly-announced 'companies have strong
local support, notwithstanding the efforts made to place all
alike hors de combat. Amongst others the Hull and Holyhead
is so represented, and a dispassionate view of their respective
merits is not yet hopeless."

This opinion is also borne out by the city article of the
Times of Saturday, as well as by most of the influential
railway papers.

ADDRESS OF THE ORANGEMEN OF
IRELAND.

An address from this persecuted and maligned body of
men, to their Protestant brethren in Ireland, suggested
by the address of Lord Roden to the Protestants of the
empire, has just been published, which is so admirable in
its tone, and contains such an array of convincing facts
and reasoning in defence of the order, that we make no
apology for presenting a portion of it to our readers.
After replying most convincingly to every charge which
can be alleged against them by their enemies, and cor-
recting the false views of friends, by quoting from their
book of laws and ordinances the principles by which they
are actuated in their associations, they proceed to ask :
" What quarrel, then, have her Majesty's Ministers with the
Orangemen of Ireland ? Why do they overwhelm us with un-
merited obloquy? Why seek to malign us? Why do they pol-
lute the statute-book with harsh, severe, and undeserved enact-
ments, against the most religious, the best behaved, the most
peaceable, and withal the bravest, the most powerful, and the
best armed portion of her Majesty's Irish subjects The truth
is, we are too loyal, we are too religious, we love our country
too well. We are too loyal to our sovereign, unmoved to see
her surrounded with evil counsellers. We are too sincere in
our attachment to our , eligion to submit tamely to behold it
'crushed by the heel of the despot of Rome.' And we love the
peace and prosperity of our country too well to stand by with
cold indifference and seo it, as it is, all but rent from its crn-
nexion with the British empire, torn by intestine broils, and
convulsed by the struggles of those parties which her Majesty's
Ministers, in their unconstitutional policy, have ranged one
against the other. Thus we are too unchangeable in our loy-
alty, too uncompromising in our opposition to Popery, too sin-
cere in our attachment to the religion of the Bible, the Protest-
antism of our martyred forefathers, and to those principles which
seated the house of Hanover on the throne of these realms, to
please those upon whose perfidy in religion, whose tergiversa-
tion in politics, and sentiments, and acts form too severe, be-
cause too faithful, a commentary—and hence arises the bitter
hostility which is exhibited against us."

This is undoubtedly a just, and, at the same time, a
bold statement of the cause of that " discouraging" po-
licy, which is directed by Sir Robert Peel's government
against the Orange order. Orangemen stand in the way
of concession to Popery and concessio❑ to repeal and re-
bellion. They are an advanced guard planted between
Sir Robert Peel and the institutions which he would be-
tray. They present a nucleus, around which in the hour
of danger, come when it may, come whence it may, from
the weakness of false friends or the wickedness of decla-
red enemies, the Protestants not only of Ireland will, we
doubt not, be prepared to rally in defence of the monar-
chy, the religion, and the constitution of their fathers.
That the Orangemen of Ireland feel their position and
the dut;es which it imposes upon them, the following ex-
tract from their address will show :

"Protestants of Ireland, to you we appeal ! We assert calmly
and deliberately that we, and we only, under God, stand be.
tween you and the loss of all that is valuable to you in this
world. Protestant landlords and nobles of Ireland, we stand
between you and the confiscation of your estates. Protestant
bishops and clergy of Ireland, we stand between you and the
overthrow of that most holy faith which you venerate, and the
confiscation of the temporalities of that church to which you be-
long. Protestant gentlemen and yeomen of I.l'ster, we stand
between you and the bullet of the noonday assassin, the dagger
of the midnight murderer, and the torch of the ruthless incen-
diary. Protestants of Ireland of every rank and station, of
every name and denomination. we, and we alone, stand be-
tween you and the repeal of the legi,lative union, and with it
the dismemberment of the British empire. No power on earth
could keep the union unrepealed for one month did the Orange-
men desert you. Do not look on us, then, with the averted as-
pect with which of late years you have been so prone to do.
Do not join in that senseless and unfounded prejudice which
has been so sedulously raised against us by open enemies and
treacherous friends."

The packet-ship Oxford arrived on Sunday with one
day's later news from New York, but the intelligence is
unimportant,

It is said that the Directors of the Liverpool, Orms-
kirk, and Preston Railway, intend to make their terminus
in this town on land in the vicinity of the George Hotel.
It is said that the man is alive, or was three years ago,
who remembered the first bale of cotZon imported into
Liverpool from the United States. Now £15,000,000 is
annually embarked in that trade.

On Sunday morning last, the sum of £64 was collected
at St. Andrew's Church, after an excellent sermon by the
Rev. John Jones, in aid of the funds for maintaining the
Infant School attached to the church.

We understand that the report which has appeared in
some of our contemporaries, stating that the Theatre-
Royal, Williamson-square, is again to let, is a mistake,—
such not being the case.

STEALING BOOTS.—A young man, Patrick M'Donald,
was yesterday charged before Mr. Rushton with having
taken from his employers several pairs and parts of boots,
which he bad pledged without authority and appropriated
the money. He was ordered for trial.

FATAL- ACClDENT.—Yesterday week, at Mr. Jump's
flour-mill, Vauxhall-road, a bundle of sacks tell from a
considerable height upon a man named Robert Rigby, by
which his leg and thigh were broken, and he was other-
wise so much injured that he died on Sunday.
A gentleman of Bristol has offered to contribute the
munificent sum of £5OOO towards the erection of a more
commodious building than the present Bristol General
Hospital, provided the like amount could be raised for
that purpose, and a further sum of £5OOO as an endow-
ment for the future support of the hospital.
ASSAULT.—A man named John Morris was yesterday
brought before Mr. Rushton for having frequently as-
saulted and maltreated his wife, to whose support and that
of her family he had contributed nothing for upwards of
five years. He had before been imprisoned for four
months for the same offence. The case being proved, he
was required to pay £5 for the assaults, or be imprisoned
for two months ; and, further, to find bail to keep the
peace in two sureties of £25 each, or be imprisoned for
four months.

IRISH SOCIETY.—In our advertising columns will be
seen a notice of the intended sermons and meeting for
the Irish Society, whose object is to teach the Irish scrip-
tures to the Irish-speaking population of the sister Coun-
try. The deputation on the occasion will consist of the
Rev. H. H. Beamish, well known in London and else-
where as the faithful minister of Trinity Chapel, in that
city. The name of the Rev. D. Brown is known to many
in Liverpool, and therefore nothing need be said of that
excellent man. Mr. Moriarty comes from Dingle, where
so many have renounced the errors of Romanism, and
have embraced the doctrines of the English church, and
where persecution against the converts is now so fearfully
carried on. Mr. Moriarty ministers to the converts in
the Irish language, and is himself a convert from the
Romish church. We trust a society so interesting at the
present moment as the Irish Society, and represented by
such clergymen, will be cordially supported by our fellow-
townsmen at its approaching anniversary.
