" THE CONSERVATIVE CREED.

•• When bad men combine, good men must unite, or else they will fall,
one by one, unpitied sacrifices in a contemptible struggle.*—Bu Mg. •

" WHAT IS A CONSERVATIVE?

" A true conservative is fixed in his determination to pre-
serve and add to the happiness of all—to perserve those Civil
and religious institutions which have exalted us as a nation—to
preserve the constitution with its limited monarchy—honour
thd-king, respect the peers, and.•protect the people.
" If the monarch ueeds support, the true conservative is to
be found at the footsteps of the throne ; if the peers are threaten-
ed, they find him their supporter; if the church is in danger,
he flies to its rescue; but, above all, if the liberties'of the peo-
ple are to be attacked, he is on foot in their ranks, ready to
fight hand-in-hand iu their defence."
This creed of a conservative should be written upon the
hearts and memories of all who profess to support that cause.

day at the Court-house, Kirkdale, before Lord tikelmersdale
and a numerons bench of magistrates. The foibtaing gentle-
men took th p oaths and qualified as magistrates for this county : .
Ralph Thicknesse, Esq., Tho Mas Thornely, Esq., M.P., Win.
Rathbone, Esq., Hugh Hornby, Esq.. Samuel Hope, Esq.,

SERMONS or; Poexay.—On Wednesday evening the first ofi
a series of sermons on the errors of popery was preached by 1
the Rev. .1. Jones, .in St. Andrew's Church, Renshaw-street.
The discourse of the eloquent preacher was listened to with
deep attention by an overflowing audience. The service did
not terminate till half-past nine o'clock. We understand this
sermon, as well as those to be delivered on the same subject by
-the reverend gentlemen mentioned in the STANDARD of last
Tuesday, will be published iu a cheap form.
MR. SIIERLDAN KNOWLES'S BENEFIT.—We have for a long
time abstained front taking notice of the performances at the
Theatre Royal; our reasons for this apparent neglect of this
most important, because it ought to be the most intellectual, of
all public amusements, we shall acquaint our readers with at the
close of the season, who will then have an opportunity of judg-
ing for themselves. Whatever ground of complaint we may
have against the managers of this theatre, we certainly have 1
none against the actors; and, therefore, we think it due to the
high reputation which Mr. Knowles has acquired as a poet
whose compositions form a valuable addition to our stock of
dramatic literature, and, as an actor of great powers of expres-
sion, not to permit him to appear on, and disappear from, the
Liverpool boards without noticing the fact that he has been here.
Mr. Knowles takes his benefit this evening, when we hope to
have the pleasure of hearing that the house was full. The per-
formances adVertised are " The Wife" and, "William Te 11,"..
the latter compressed into three acts.
`AND MRS. BAKER'S BENEFIT.—That excellent come-
dian r. Baker takes his benefit at the Theatre-Royal on
Monday evening next. when Morton's comedy, " Secrets worth
Knowing," and 'Quadrupeds," an admirable burlesve, found-
ed upon, or rather embodying Fort's " Devil among the Tai-
lors ;—a tragedy for warm weather," will be performed. Mr.
Baker will sustain the part of Abrahoraides, the leader of the
flints, a character which first brought the late William Oxberry
into notice on the Loudon boards. We know of no member of
the Liverpool stage whose professional talents and indefatigable
industry are better entitled to the patronage of the public than
Mr. Baker.

PREsExT OF PLATE To THE REV. C. L. SwAINSON.—The
articles of plate about to be presented to the Rev. C. L. Swain-
son may he seen this day and to-morrow at Messrs. R. Jones
and Son's; silversmiths, Castle-street.
CAET)ofi TO THE COMmANDERF OF STEAM-vESsELS-On
Tuesday Captain Allan, the master of the Royal Adelaide,
Edinburgh steam-packet, and Richard Clark, the pilot who had
charge of the vessel, underwent du examination before the
sitting magistrates at the Thames Police-ofilce, London, on a
charge of manslaughter, for running down an oyster smack, and
thereby occasioning the death of the master of that craft and a
passenger, Mr. Bodkin, the barrister, together with the solicitor
and agent. of the company to which the Royal Adelaide be-
longed, attended on behalf of the accused ; but negligence on
the part of the captain and his pilot having been proved to the
satisfaction of the magistrate's, they refused to accept bail, al-
though hail to any amount was offered by the company, and
fully committed them to Newgate for trial at the next Old
Bailey sessions.
DEATH of LORD MILTON.—We are sorry to announce the
death of Lord Viscount Milton, eldest son, of the Earl Fitz-
william. This melancholy event took place on Sunday evening
last after a short illness. His lordship was ie his `.l4th year,
having been boin on the 18th of January, 1812. He married
in August, 1833, Lady Selina Jenkinson, second daughter of the
Eat 1 a Liverpool. His lordship's death occasions a vacancy
in the representation of the northern division of Northampton-
shire.—Manchester Herald. [His lordship's relict is only about
'2 years.of age. He has, we believe, left one child, but Whe-
ther a son or daughter we are not quite certain. If a son the
minority will be a very long one. The disease of which Lord
Milton died was typhus fever. E.L.S.]
Tii E. NEW LORD MAYOR OF LON DON.—Mr. Alderman Cope-
land was on Monday last (Lord Mayor's Day) sworn into office
before the Cursitor Baron of the Court of Exchequer with the
usual ancient solemnities, after which his lordship accompanied
"by troops' of hungry friends " proceeded to the Guildhall
where the equally ancient ceremony of eating a good dinner
was as solemnly performed. Lord Melbourne and some other
members of the government were present. The speeches de-
livered, or rather the compliments bandied between the civic and
the ministerial dignitaries present, possess no one feature of in-
terest except to those who reside "within the sound of Dow
bells."

STEAM NAVIGATION.—"There are now built and building, in
the ports of the Mersey and Clyde, fifteen new large steam-Yes-
eels for the use of the Liverpool steam companies, each of which
will have engines of from 190 to 250 horse-power;--- six fur the
St,. George's Company, in addition to eighteen vessels which
they already possess, viz., the Hercules, the Jupiter, the Ocean.
the Sea Horse, and two not yet named; six for the Dublin Cons-
panv,
in addition to their present fleet of eighteen vessels, viz.,
the Limerick, the Athlone, the Roscommon, the itoscrea, the
King William, and the Queen Adelaide; the two latter express-.
ly for passengers, with engines of 250 horse-power each. One
for Sir John Tobin, (in addition to his five already plying) viz.,
the Margaret, 6.30 tons, and 250 horse-power, a very superior
vessel. Two others are also building, on the Mersey, destination
not known, besides two iron steamers by Messrs. Laird. There
is now a great desire to bring iron steani,vessels into use. They
haVe some peculiarly good properties and several contracts for
large ones are about to be entered into for companies touneeted
with America, London, Lisbon, and other places.

FALMOUTH LIGHT-HOOSE.—The utility of this light was
manifested in a remarkable manner during the gale on Satur-
day, the 24th ult., when the Shannon steam-vessel from Dub-
lin, bound to London, at the distance of lb miles, descried the
light. and was enabled by it to run directly ink, this harbour,
In the absence of the light it is scarcely possible that this vessel
could safely have run for the port &efore

`THE IRISH BOARD OF WORKS.—"The Board of Works has.
lent £600.t0 the Rev. Mr. Buckley, to enable him to finish the
Romisti chapel in Buttevant."—Freeman's Journal,.—'l his is a
novel application of the funds of this board, and a very diffe-
rent one, we apprehend, from what was ever intended. Would
the board accommodate the trustees of the intended episcopal
chapel at Harold's Cross, or of any other house of worship
designed for protestant use in a similar way? We hope their
honest impartiality may be tried to this effect.—Dublin Record.
Naws.—During the hezy and boisterous weather of
Tuesday, a Danish brig, the Prince Ferdinand of Aahruus,
struck on Blackwater bank, and shortly after went to pieces.
She was laden with machinery for one of the steamers that are
intended to ply between Leghorn and Alexandria' by the new
line for mails and passengers to India, through the Red Sea,
Sc. Shortly after leaving Liverpool the weather became very
rough, and the brig laboured so much in consequence of the
heavy description of cargo, that she began taking in water fast,
and the captain determined on running for Wexford harbour,
which course he was steering, when, owing to the very thick
weather, he struck ou the bank. Feeling the impossibility of
the brig holding together with the sea increasing, the crew got
into the boat and landed in safety. The vessel shortly after-
wards was broken to atoms, nothing of any value having been
saved. In about an hour after, a flue new ship, the Anna
Maria, St. John's. New Brunswick, Captain Samuel Stickney,
burden 600 tons, with a general cargo from Liverpool to St.
John's, N. 8., struck on the same bank, and like the brig went
to pieces in a few hours. In a very short space of time from her
first striking, the wind increased to a violent hurricane, and the
sea ran frightfully high, so that it was with much difficulty-thn
crew and passengers, in all 24 persons, could get ashore in the
boats, which they expected momentarily would tie swamped.
Theylwere not ten minutes left the ship when she broke up,
after which scarcely any part of her was to be seen holding to-
gether. We rejoice to hear that no lives were lost. On the
sanie Alas-, two vessels, a Sloop and a brie., one of them supposed
to be a Wexford vessel, tiarrowly escaped
,going ashore at Cern-,
sore point, in which ease, front the still, not one life would be
saved. They worked most miraculously over St. Patrick's(
Bridge, and ran for Ball.yllack„—We.rferti Ftazinan.
