SITTING OF THE NEW JUDGE YESTERDAY.
It having been announced that Mr. Pollock, th
Judge appointed in the room of Mr. Ramshay, would
commence his duties at the County Court yesterday morn-
ing, the Court-house was an object of attraction. Some
additional interest had been given to the occasion by
various strange rumours as to the intentions of Air. Ram-
shay. One of the reports, fortified perhaps by the loose
and absurd statements made in some of the local journals,
was that Mr. Ramshay intended personally to contest the
right of the new Judge to assume the place hitherto
occupied on the bench by himself. Another foolish re-
port was, that Mr. Ramshay, being convinced that the
Earl of Carlisle had no legal power whatever to dismiss
him, intended to present himself, as a matter of form, and
if the new Judge should persist in commencing with the
duties of his office, to make a protest, and then take pro-
ceedings by quo warranto in the Court of Queen's Bench.
All these ingenious reports have been quietly disposed
of, by the simple fact that Mr. Ramshay did rot make his
appearance at all. The passages of the court were crowded
at an early hour, and the court itself was tolerably well
filled by ten o'clock. Precisely at that hour, the new
judge, Joseph Pollock, Esq., accompanied by his brother,
the Rev. W. Pollock, the respected minister of St. Mark's
Church, in this town, took his seat on the bench "without
let or hindrance." The crier of the court made the usual
proclamation, and the business was proceeded with imme-
diately, and with as little subject for remark as if the judge
had sat in the court for years. The new judge is a young
man, very bland and courteous in his manner, and seems
particularly quick and apt. He disposed of many ordinary
cases in a very short time, paying great attention to both
plaintiffs and defendants, and his manner seemed to create
a very favourable impression. On one occasion, when
the plaintiff and defendant were both talking together, the
judge said,—" We have a bad habit here of only allowing
one person to talk at once, and we intend to keep it up."
There were upwards of 100 cases, but many of these were
struck out as the parties were not in attendance, and the
others were for the most part of a trivial character, in-
volving only matters of account, and of no interest except
to the parties concerned.

it was his intention as a general rule not to receive evidence
of any written document in the hands of the other side
unless notice to produce it had been previously given.
In reference to another point of practice, it may be as
well to state, that Mr. Welford applied in a case of Mar-
tin v. Shaw, the hearing of which had been adjourned
from the 24th of November last, for a new hearing, on
the ground that the hearing of the case had been appointed
for the 24th of November last, when the defendant at-
tended, but was not aware that the case would be heard
that day (Monday). His Honour, however, refused the
application on the ground that the public generally had
had due notice that tile adjourned day was fixed for Mon-
day, the Ist of December, and that if he granted it, incon-
venience would 'arise, and other defendants in the same
position might ask thie same thing.
The following letter, addressed to " W. Statham, Esq.,
County Court, Liverpool," was received by that gentle-
man, through the post, on Sunday morning :
" Temple, Saturday, Nov. 29, 1851.
" hereby adjourn the County Court until Monday,
December 29, 1851. You will also adjourn it to the same
for the whole business now standing undisposed of. I am, Sir,
your obedient servant,

THE OLD HALL BUILDING SOClETY.—Yesterday even-
ing a large party of the members of the above society
commemorated the first closing year of their society, by a
sumptuous dinner at the house of Mr. Bunbury, Oldhall-
street. Mr. Thomas Savage occupied the chair, and he,
as well as the secretary, Mr. John Shimmin, were sup-
ported by a most respectable company. As the society is
one of the most successful ever established, the enthu-
siasm that prevailed was almost unbounded. A pleasant
evening was spent—the various toasts and speeches were
intervened by songs and choruses. It was not until a late
hour that the party separated.

" Judge of the County Court of Lancashire,

The Clerk of the County Court of Liverpool,"

AMERICAN v. BRITISH MANUFACTURES.

DISGUISE it as they may, our manufacturers
bitterly repent that the Legislature so readily
listened to their clamour, and decreed that England
should fight the hostile tariffs of the world with free
imports. Good reason have British Manufacturers
to deplore that unfortunate experiment. By it they
destroyed the best and surest portion of their trade,
the home, which they could previously, at all times,
command ; and not only have they failed in
obtaining the greatly extended and profitable
foreign trade which they anticipated—one precarious
and gambling in its very nature—bet they have
raised up competitors who have already learnt to
manufacture for themselves, and who daily become
more formidable as rivals in the markets of the
world. Like the fool in the fable, they have killed
that from which they derived their wealth regularly
and naturally, and now they seek in vain the riches
which they thought they could have obtained by
the cruel sacrifice. Manufacturing England, with
its free import system in full operation, is retro-
grading. Manufacturing America, with its pro-
tective duties varying from 20 to 30 per cent., is
rapidly advancing. England's adversity is America's
opportunity ; and vigorously and sensibly are the
shrewd active people of the Transatlantic Republic
availing themselves of our folly, our fatuity, our
persistance in a vicious theory. It is well worth the
trouble to consider the position of the cotton-
manufacture, and to contrast its progress in this
country and in the United States. In 1848 the
United States consumed not less than 531,772
bales of raw cotton—a consumption equal to that
of Great Britain in 1825. But whereas it took us
fifty years to arrive—through many difficulties, and
with imperfect machinery—at that figure, they
attained it in little more than seventeen years, in
consequence of having the advantages of numerous
hands, and the use of new and improved imple-
ments. That they have all the means necessary to
become a great manufacturing people more rapidly
than we, is manifest ; and that they are determined
to turn to account all the advantages within their
reach, is every day becoming more apparent. In
Lowell alone, the Manchester of the Union, they
now produce 110,000,000 yards of cotton-cloth per
annum, which is much more than all the cotton
goods which we export to the States ; and there is
one machine-factory in that town which can furnish
machinery complete for a mill of 6,000 spindles in
three months, and the mill itself can be erected in
the same short space of time. llere is unquestionable
proof of the ability and of the determination of the

Americans to become large producers of cotton
goods, and that at no distant date. Instead of
taking example from us, and repudiating the
protective policy under which we achieved our
extraordinary manufacturing prosperity, they are
adhering strenuously to that system by which they
have thriven, and are even desirous of still farther
extending it. Thus, while we receive the various
products of America, with the exception of tobacco,
without any, or with a nominal duty, America
levies on our manufactures an average of 25 per
cent. import duties, the sum charged upon our
textile fabrics alone—cotton, linen, silk, and

woollen—being not less than £1,141,849 per
annum, as shown by the Board of Trade returns.
Not only do we give to our great rivals free
machinery with which to compete with us, but we
furnish them with the capital to carry on this manu-
facturing enterprise against our own. This is the

very climax of generosity, bordering upon insanity

While we are retrograding, or remain, at beet,

stationary, our rivals in manufacture are progressing

with alarming strides. They have not the remotest

idea of adopting our cosmopolitan principle of

trade. They love our one-sided reciprocity for the

benefit it brings to them, and the evil it brings to

us, and they turn it to their advantage. Will we,
can we, persist in the mad course we have adopted ?
We think not. We think that, ere long, our

manufacturers themselves, for whose sole benefit

the change was effected, will demand a return to a
more equitable and patriotic commercial system.

THE FRENCH POLITICAL DRAMA.

_.y act has opened in the bizzare but deeply
interesting drama now proceeding in the capital of
La Belle France. Since the last scene of the former
act the position of the respective characters has
undergone a change. There we saw the President
of the Republic fighting for his political existence
with the combined chiefs of the opposition parties,
and with the Assembly, and barely able to main-
tain his ground. Now be, in his turn, attacks the
coalesced leaders and the Assembly, and gives them
a vigorous Rowland for their Oliver. Flinging
aside the reserve with which he hitherto enveloped
himself, he comes boldly forward in the face of the
assembled people, and charges the Assembly, or
certain members in it, with conspiring to form
themselves into a convention, in order to revive the
days of Robespiere, and accuses the so-called men
of order, and the Legitimists with intriguing to
bring back their favourite princes, thereby
disturbing public tranquillity, destroying com-
mercial confidence, and ruining the country.
This bold conduct of the President, enforced by
the journals under his dictation, has thrown the
ill-connected bands of his opponents into consterna-
tion, while it has brought to his side the favour of
the masses who ever admire audacity in any shape.
It is a brave stroke to accuse the parliamentary
chiefs of a conspiracy to destroy the President, to
appoint General Changarnier as military dictator,
and to prolong the duration of the Assembly; and
so far it bas been a successful one. The President
seemed a few days ago about to succumb ; by
this skilful and arduous manoeuvre he has just
now gained a stronger position than ever. A
fierce fight may be expected upon the ensuing
discussion on his " responsibilities ;" but we think
his opponents have lost heart, and that they will
avoid another collision with the man who is proving
himself to be le never demon oncle, and no mis-
take. That Louis Napoleon will finally come vic-
torious out of this battle for power we entertain
little doubt.

THE IRON TRADE

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SIR,— I agree with the Mercury's correspondent " An
Iron Merchant," so far, that the name of the party
reported, as having defrauded the Dock Eestate, ought to
be given up, whether in the " trade " or out of it.
I must, however, on behalf of my brother brokers, take
exception to his very unjust side-wind attack on our body.
The "few " do not thank him (or his left-handed com-
pliments. Whatever our quondam friend may think, the
brokers conduct their business quite as straightforward
and as honourably as the " trade," or any other " class,"
not excepting the grand " staple," in this great port.
Neither are we of such recent date as our man of metal
would lead people to suppose. " Brokers" were in being
before he was born, and from his own showing are in the
ascendant, and, depend on it, will continue long after his
exit, notwithstanding the " halo" which surrounds his
name, I fear, however, the " shoe" pinches him.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN IRON BROKER.
