THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE IN IRELAND.—Repeal,
after all, is likely to be an " open question" in the Whig
Cabinet, according to the articles of the Cliesham-place
treaty, and in conformity with the opinion to that effect
recently expressed by the Freeman a Journal, as the
organ of the movement. Mr. Clements, a barrister, a
right band man of Mr. O'Connell. and, it has been said
on competent authority, one of the paid attaches of
Conciliation-hall, has received an appointment in the
colonies of the value of some £6OO per annum. This,
the first mark of Government bestowed upon a member
of a hitherto proscribed class, was, it is said, procured at
the instance of a gentleman wholly oppused to the repeal
agitation, Mr. Richard Lalor Sheil, now one of her
Majesty's Ministers, and a candidate for re-election for
the borough of Dungarvan. All the arrangements for the
elevation of Mr. Brady to the Court of Chancery, and the
consequent acce-sion of Mr. Pigot to the Chief Baron-
ship, are completed. The official announcement of their
appointments will be made in a day or two. Mr. M.
Fortescue is appointed Chamberlain to the household of
the Earl of Besborough. _

Francis Baring when Chancellor of the Exchequer.
It is somewhat singular that, at the time of the last
election, Sir Thomas Wilde should have received during
his stay in Worcester his appointment as Attorney-
General, and that on Tuesday, on the eve of his second
election, he should have received his elevation to the dig-
nity of Lord Chief Justice.
PEEL AND COBDEN.—OD Monday last, two votes of
thanks were passed to Sir Robert Peel and Al r. Cobden
by the Manchester town-council—to the former for his
candour and resolution in introducing and carrying the
late measures of government, and to the latter for his
seven years talented and influential advocacy of free trade.
It is said that Lord John Russell intends to propose
the immediate equalisation of free and slave produced
sugar. and thus extinguish at once all the protection of
our West India planters. If so he will be opposed by a
re-united Conservative party, and the Whig Administra-
tion will be at an end.
NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.—It
appears by an advertisement in the London papers, that a
committee is being formed for the purpose of raising funds
to present a national testimonial to Sir Robert Peel. The
provisional chairman of this committee is Col. Peyronnet
Thompson, and the provisional vice-chairman, is Captain
Polhill, the Conservative memb, r for Bradford.
Among the last acts of Sir Robert Peel's Government
was an official announcement that Roman Catholic> and
Unitarians were to be eqqally eligible with other deno-
minations for professorships in the three new colleges of
Ireland •, and that one Unitarian would be put on the
board of management and examination with one Trini-
tarian Presbyterian.—Dublin paper.

ENTERTAINMENT TO LORD STANLEY AND LORD GEO.
EBNTINCK.—On Wednesday last, an entertainment was
given to ihe above noblemen, at the Trafalgar Tavern,
Greenwich, which was attended by about a hundred pro-
tectionist peers and members of parliament. Reporters
were riot admitted, but we learn, from the Morning Post,
that the speech of Lord Stanley was full of uncompro-
mising spirit, and was received with hearty approbation.
by the distinguished assembly present. Lord Geo. Ben-
tinck was equally firm in his language, and was rewarded
with the applause of his hearers.
PUBLIC DINNER TO LORD G. BENTINCK.—The ban-
quet to be given to this distinguished leader of the Protec-
tionists will take place on the 4th of August, in the town
of Lynn, West Norfolk. The Earl of Orford, the Lord
High Steward of Lynn, has consented to preside. The
demonstration is not to be confined to the county of Nor-
folk, as already a great number of persons favourable to
the principle of protection, from the counties of Cambridge,
Soffulk, Lincoln, Bedford, Hertford, Northampton, Wilts,
Somerset, Devon, Surrey, Essex, and other places, have
expressed an anxiety to attend, to mirk their sense of his
lordship's conduct during the course of the late debates
upon the Corn Laws.
THE SUGAR DUTIES.--The new Sugar Bill will be the
first, and prubably the only important, measure brought
forward by the Russell Cabinet this session. Its provisions
will be looked to as indicating the future policy of the
Government; and the debate on it will most likely deter-
mine the position of the parties in the Commons, whose
attitude is now uncertain. Two plans are pu• forward,
each having some pretence to authority. The Times sup-
ports one, for Sir Robert Peel and his followers: the
Chronicle the other, for Lord John Russell and the Whig-
Radical party. The difference between the two is magni-
fied rather, as it would appear, for the sake of party dis-
tinction than for any real opposition in either principle or
detail. How is Sir Robert Peel to orpose the Ministry
unless he can establish some difference between his views
and theirs? As a politician his first want is some ground
to stand on. He has been too long used to a command of
his own to readily sink down into tne position of a subal-
tern. Accustomed to play Hamlet, he will not without
an effort rest contented with the part of Gui/densttrri.
The Times is disposed to second his exertions, and insi.
diously urges him to prepare his amendments. The agree-
ment of the rival plans is much more remarkable than their
difference. It is admitted that the absurd distinction esta-
blished between foreign sugars is to cease at once. Slave-
grown and free-grown sugars are to be admitted on the
same terms. The differential duty of 9s. 4d. will for the
present remain, but the ad missson of slave-grown produce
will reduce the degree of protection it now affords. The
first provision of the new bill, we may assume, will be
carried with little opposition. There will be the duty of
14s. per cwt. on British-grown sugar, and 23s 4d per cwt.
on foreign sugar, from whatever country it may be brought.

A CLOSE MATcII.—A grand match between eleven of
England and the like number of the county of Kent, was
commenced' at Lord's Ground on Monday, and did not
terminate until Wednesday, when the all England players
were the winners, but their last man had to go in (amidst
the greatest excitement) to obtain one to tie or two to
win; the latter he accomplished by a two hit to the leg.

land : First innings. 71 ; second ditto, 87-158.
WALKING MATCH AGAINST TIME.—A match against
time, mane by Capt. Estcourt, of the 2nd Life Guards for
a wager of considerable amount, (said to be 15,000 to
£1 000.) to walk from the Regent's-park Barracks to the
Barracks at Spital, within a mile of Windsor, and back,
within twelve hours, came off on Friday, the gallant cap-
tain leaving the Regent's-park at eight in the morning,
and arriving at Spital a few minutes before one, perform-
ing the half of the distance, upwards of 22 miles, in less
than five hours. Captain Estcourt, after changing his
clothes at the barracks, proceeded on his journey back to
town, and upon his arrival at Colnbrook, a distance of
about 18 miles from the Regent's-park Barracks, he had
upwards of five hours to complete the remaining distance,
and therefore won easily. Some heavy bets are depending
upon the issue.

TUE LATE REV. MARCUS FALLootc—ln the sudden
removal of this excellent minister from the world of
which he was an ornament, many may inquire for some
obituary notice worthy of his late labours. The present
tribute may not supply an answer to such expectant
friends (to those who know him best a very eloquent and
descriptive testimony might still appear inadequate), but
it may recall gratefully to the minds of many the benefit,

which they received under his ministration, or the edifi•
cation bestowed within the circle of his relatives and
friends. Marcus Fa'loon was, in truth, an elder in Israel.
Many years have passed away since he arose as a light
shining amidst surrounding darkness. Now, evangelical
men are not thinly scattered over the ecclesiastical hemi-
sphere; then, a man might travel from Dan to Beersheba,
and meet but few true banner-bearers. Among the few
and faithful of nigh forty years gone, Mr. Falloon was
numbered. His head was clear in its reception of the
doctrines of the Reformation—his heart was warm in
regarding their grandeur—his tongue was eloquent in de-
tailing their place, worth, and fulness in the oracles of
God. There are those living now who remember his
stalwart day. Some have gone many miles on the
Sabbath to enjoy his ministrations—some have grown
old in places remote from his place of ministry, but have
never ceased to commemorate the spiritual consolations
of his preaching. In his early day, alarm was

his doctrinal statements. The bishou of the time wits led
to interfere, and to summon Mr. Falloon to his presence.
To the prelate's statement " that it was reportet he
preached contrary to the doctrines of the Church," Mr.
Falloon respectfully replied, "he preached carefully no
other doctrines but those of the articles and homilies."
The bishop was content with this explanation, and Mr. F.
was troubled no more. Fora number of years Mr. Fdloon
was the perpetual curate of Drultibo (augmented in terri-
torial extent and ecclesiastical income since he ceased to
be connected with it). With a very limited stipend, and
with the necessary care of pupils, he struggled to sustain
his family honourably and usefully. It was not, however,
until the year 1831 that he was presented to the living of
Laye (Cushendall), of the probable value of X2OO. Here
he exercised a profitable ministry. He was permitted to
see his sons grow up into honourable manhood. One of

The removal of his beloved partner by the hand of death,
together with bodily infirmities, were burdens upon the
good rector of Layde, and for relaxation and for restora-
tion of his health, he was lately induced to visit England,
where, in the society of his sons, he enjoyed much delight,
He was prevailed on to prolong his stay beyond what he
had originally intended, and write to some of the clergy
in the neighbourhood of Cushendan, for a supply for his
church for one or two Sundays more. In writing to them,
he detailed, with evident gratification, the benefit which
he believed he had experienced in renewed spirits and
strength, &c. But while he asked of his friendly trethren
to "occupy till he came," his place was to know him no
more. Suddenly, on the Ist of July, he died, under the
paroxysms of an apoplectic attack. "In the midst of
life we are in death." And now that he is for ever re-
moved from desk, pulpit, home, and flock, let not justice
be tartly in an acknowledgment of his merits. With fail-
ings or deficienc es, we are at this hour naturally slow to
hold record : he was a veteran, he was a true men. In a
comparatively retired situation, among the beautiful vales
of Layde, he fed a little flock ; he shared neither the
honours nor the emolumentsof his more favoured brethren;
he was not upborrie by the enlivening approbation of such
crowds as sustain the brethren of populous towns; he
might have been forgotten by the great, or unmarked by
the chroniclers of popular men ; but he was not unseen of
God. As true sorrow as ever filled the breasts of poor
men will move many hearts in these picturesque glens ;
the " love of the poor for epitaph " is a splendid metco-
rial. May the congregation once so dear to this valued
pastor be comforted and edified under a successor worthy
to fellow in the steps of the Rev. M. Fallooon !—Belfast

GRAND PROTESTANT DINNER

(From the Morning Herald.)

In our impression yesterday we briefly noticed the fact
that an assemblage of the country party had taken place,
at the Trafalgar Tavern, at (7reenwich, on Wednesday
evening ; and at which Lord Stanley attended, as the ac-
knowledged leader of the party.
Mr. Bankes. M.P., occupied the chair. The number
present. which was limited to exactly 100. com.n.ted
of 40 Peers, and 60 members of the House of Com-

mons.
The speech of Lord Stanley was a remarkable exhibition
of statesmanlike views, and it is much to be regre•ted that
no reporters were present to supply the pudic with a ver-
batim copy of his address, as a manifesto to the party, of
which the noble lord avows himself the director and chief.
Displaying caution without timidity, and the most con-
ciliatory spirit towards those of the Conservative party
who have for a time been seduced from their consistency,
his speech made a deep impression on all who had the
good fortune to hear it, and seemed to unite with even
stronger links than before those who have so ably fought
the battle of protection in both houses. There was one
portion of his address which was received with the most
unfeigned marks of approbation—we mean his lordship's '
allusion to her determination In uphold the integrity of
the established church in both kingdoms, and to resist
every innovation which could have the effect of impairing
its dignity and lessening its efficiency. He then, wi'll
great judgment, entered into the course of parliamentary
conduct which he recommended to he pursued under ex-
isting circumstances, and laid down the outline of the
principles which the party should adopt for their guidance,
in order to maintain that confidence which they had
hitherto gained from the country by their consistency and
energy.
There were many other excellent and constitutional
speeches delivered, especially those of Lord G. Bentinck,
of the Dukes of Buckingham, Richmond, and Beaufort,
of Lord Exeter, and Mr. Hudson.
The party did not break up till nearly one o'clock, when
it separated much animated with the proceedings of the
evening.
The meeting would have been much more numerous had
not the utmost number that could have been accommoda-
ted been 100, to which the party was thus necessarily
limited. The first names put down for the dinner were
justly given the preference.
We subjoin the list of those present :—Lord Stanley ;
Dukes of Richmond, Buckingham, Montrose, Newcastle,
Beaufort, and Cleveland; Marquises of Exeter, Salisbury.

field, Sandwich, Eglintoun, Lucan, Orford, Charlevitle,

Hospital and other objects of interest. The Pacha was
much pleased at his reception by her Majesty at Bucking-
Ingham Palace. Her Majesty graciously addressed the
Paella by saving that she was happy in learning that the
Pacha had visited England, and that she trusted that he
had received every attention. The costume of the Pacha
was gorgeous; it was his full uniform—the hilt of his
sword sparkled with valuable gems. His Highness also
wore the ribbon of the Legion of Honour. He had sus-
pended from his neck a large crescent studded with dia-
monds, and a star formed of eight diamonds.
MARRIAGE FESTIVITIES.—The town of Hclywell and
its vicinities were, on Tuesday last, the scene of much re-
joicing and hilarity, in honour of the return of the Viscount
Fielding to his seat at Downing, Flintshire, after his re-
cent alliance with the beautiful arid accomplished Mies
Pennant. of Bangor. All business was suspenJed for the
day, which was solely devoted to doing honour to, and
showing respect for the distinguished wedded pair. The
town presented a most gay appearance, bring profusely
decorated with flags, banners, flowers, evergreens, &e.
A large procession, including-the roost respectable inha-
bitants of the neighbourhood, was formed, and, accompa-

nied by three binds of music, went to escort the noble
bride and bridegroom into town. The horses were taken
from the carriage which contained the noble pair, and it

the shouts end plaudits of congregated thousands. An
address of congratulation was presented to her ladyship,
by the inhabitants, to which a very feeling reply was re-
turned. In the after part of the day a fe'le took place
upon the bowling green, and in the evening various con-
vivial parties were held, at which thousands of well
wishes were pledged to the newly united couple, by lips
moistened with from sparkling champagne to cwrw da.
Amongst the bands of music which assisted in the pro-
cession was " Joliffe's Band," of this town. A ball was
got up at the " Belt end Antelope," the proceeds from
which were given to Joliffe's band, over and above the
customary professional remuneration.
