THE LIVERPOOL ELECTION.

The following letter is copied from the Albion of
yesterday.

the subject of the correspondence between Mr.
Rathbone Ind myself, I have to say, that I have seen a letter
from Lord Sandon, in which he states, that an offer was made
by Mr. Wason to withdraw the petition against his lordship's
return, provided he would not oppose Mr. Benett's motion for
a committee of inquiry. I cannot state the precise words, but
that is the substance of them.

Surely Mr. Wason will not deny that he ever had any con-
versation with his lordship to that effect.—l remain, Sir, your
most obedient servant, JOS. SANDA.RS.
London, Ellis's Hotel, March 6, 1833.

THE IRISH CHURCH REFORM BILL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

would wish to engage the powerful co-operation of
your pen, or, at least, through the medium of your journal, to
call for the aid of the clergy of this town in furthering an ob-
ject I have much at heart, and which I cannot but think of vital
importance-to themselves.
When any commercial ortrading interest, however trivial, is
endangered, no exertions are spared by the parties concerned
to make known and assert their rights or pretensions. But
when the
.property of the established church of Ireland is as-
sailed,—a measure which is uncalled for, except by the rabble,
unjust, and which will therefore be ineffectual in silencing cla-
mours to which it has been yielded,—l hear of no attempt made
to stem the torrent of spoliation—of no petition presented in be-
half of the despoiled. The silence of the English clergy in this
matter. does not arise from apathy, for the list of subscriptions
to the fund for the relief of the Irish clergy bears noble testi-
mony to the sympathy they feel for their suffering brethren.
It does not proceed, I apprehend, from selfishness; because
their own pockets are not touched, therefore they do not think
it worth their while to bestir themselves. If it were so, I would
respectfully remind them (to borrow an illustration from Arch-
deacon Cotton's pamphlet, to which you refer in your publica-
tion of this day) that there is the fullest intention, on the part
of Lord Grey and his coadjutors, of paying them in the end
that compliment which the Cyclops paid to Ulysses,—they will
be devoured the last. It must be universally felt that this bill,
as far as we are acquainted with its details, will immediately
weaken the Protestant interest in Ireland, and must eventually,
if the danger be not Providentially averted, throw back the
whole of that unhappy country into the lap of Popery.' I pur-
posely abstain from alluding to any details of the bill, as my
sole object is to remind the clergy of Liverpool that it is their
duty to petition the legislature against the provisions of the
Irish Church Reform Bill, and to persuade them to earn to
themselves the praise of setting a noble example therein to their
brethren throughout the country.—Yours, &c.
March 8, 1833. N. S. E.

A paragraph that appeared in the public journals, stating that
the grand jury at Hertford found two true bills against the
Honourable Thomas Duncombe, for assaults, &c., committed
during the late election, is incorrect. Two true bills, preferred
by the Marquess of Salisbury for libels contained in the ex-mem-
ber's address to the electors of Hertford, have been returned,
and have since been removed by certiorari to the Court of
King's Bench.

A COINCIDENCE.—The king of Denmark, in opening the
Storthing of Norway, on the 13th ult. thus spoke of a reform
in the municipal law of that country :—" A message will be de-
livered to you, tending to regulate for the future the corporate
privileges of towns and provincial districts."

It will be seen by the morning proceedings in the House of
Commons yesterday, that the utility of the new arrangeinent
is likely to be utterly defeated by the pertinacity and vanity,
sometimes of the members who present them; but still more
frequently by the notion that others, new in their situations,
entertain of the expediency of vomiting forth a tissue of exple-
tive and crudity upon every subject that presents itself. We
know to what we subject ourselves by this remark, but the adop-
tion of some rule to prevent the abuse of the power of speech
on such occasions is becoming absolutely necessary.—Globe.

It has seldom ever fallen to our lot to record a greater loss of
life, in almost our own neighbourhood, than happened at the
coal mines belonging to John Chambers, Esq. at Tibshelf, a
few miles from Chesterfield, on Saturday morning last. The
colliers assembled about seven o'clock in the morning, to de-
scend the shaft of a coal pit, to which a whimsey is attached,
when two sets of men went down in perfect safety;
.a third set
then got upon the machine, being nine in number chiefly. young
men and boys, but when they had descended a few yards only,
the chain used for drawing up the coals by some means got mis-
placed, when the poor creatures were precipitated to the bottom
of the pit, a distance of 90 yards; the whole of the heavy chain,
with the wheels, &c. went down the shaft, which fell upon the
poor sufferers, eight of whom were killed on the spot. the only
survivor is a boy, who had both his thighs and legs and one
arm fractured. It was a considerable time before the mangled
remains could be drawn out of the pit, on account of procuring
fresh tackling, &c. and in the mean time, wives, fathers, mothers,
brothers, and sisters, had assembled to view the bodies of the
unfortunate victims; and after the whole of them had been
brought upon the surface, a more appalling scene was scarcely
ever witnessed. It is said the boy is since dead.—Sheffield Iris.
