TO CORRESPONDENTS

Several communications are postponed in consequence of the
intelligence by the Overland Mail, and the meeting of the
Bank of Manchester, occupying so much of our space.
We beg to refer our readers to a very able letter in another
column from John Gladstone, Esq., on the present state
of the country.
We can answer two of the questions put to us by " Impa-
tient "—who is the author of the forthcoming opera, and
who is the composer of the music ? The songs are by
Mr. James Stonehouse, and the music by Mr. George
Hargreaves ; and in answer to the third question put to
us, we can only say that we have been informed the inte-
rest of the piece is likely to be very considerable. Con-
nected, however, as Mr. Stonehouse is with our establish-
ment, we decline for the present to give any opinion of
our own ; but we may observe, that the songs which he
has already presented to the public have, in moat in-
stances, become established favourites.
We still adhere to our original determination with respect to
the communication of " A true Churchman." We have
no grounds beyond the tone of the letters themselves, for
any assurance that our correspondent is favourable even
to the church establishment, and we cannot consent to give
publicity to such circumstantial details aathose enumerated,
without receiving " A true Churchinan's" real signature:as a
voucher of their truth. The stronger the impression on
our correspondent's mind of the truth of his statements,
and the less objection can he have to furnish his name ; and
on the other hand, the more " manifestly improper" the
conduct reprehended, and the more incumbent is it upon
us to insist in ascertaining it.

TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 7, 1843

The debates of Thursday night, upon the Address

in reply to her Majesty's Speech, have not afforded to
the " liberal" party much to chuckle over. 'We do
not argue at all upon the circumstance that, in neither
house, could the leaders of that party screw up their
courage or their desperation to the dangerous venture
of an amendment. The Speech from the Throne, we
admit, scarcely left room for such a proceeding. But
we may fairly point, as an unmistakeable evidence
of the utter weakness of the position occupied by the
opposition, to the absence of even one solitary point,
in which they have succeeded in inflicting upon their
opponents a damaging blow, or injuring the just con-
fidence reposed by the country in the wisdom of the
past measures, or the honesty of the intentions, of the
Conservative ministry which happily controls at pre-
sent the destinies of Great Britain.

In the House of Lords, the principal objects of
attack were the Ashburton Treaty, and the claim of
Sir Robert Peel's administration to the merit of having
brought to a triumphant issue the wars in India and
China. We may add to these an unworthy effort to
damage the reputation and misrepresent the conduct
of the Governor-General of India—Lord Ellenborough.
How triumphantly these ill-tempered cavillings were
met ! The noble and manly address of Lord Brougham
was, of itself, sufficient for ever to settle all disputes,
with respect to the wisdom and perfect success of the
Ashburton mission. even had not a single member of
the ministry addressed himself to the subject; and
with respect to Indian affairs, and to the individual
conduct of the Governor-General of India, the clear
and convincing and, we may add, decided speech of the
Duke of Wellington, has by this time, we suspect,
cooled the ardour of those few reckless statesmen, who
may have been disposed to make any one or all of
these questions weapons of offence against govern-
ment, as it has certainly effectually dissipated from the
minds of the public out of doors all doubt of the
prudence and wisdom which have guided the policy of
the cabinet and of its officers in that quarter of the
world. The Duke of Wellington is prepared to justify
every act and every order of Lord Ellenborough, from
his first entrance upon his very arduous task to its
successful completion ; and the People and the Par-
liament of England will be disposed to place fully as
much confidence in the judgment, the honesty, and
the veracity of the hero of Assaye, as in those of the
scribe of the Morning Chronicle, or of his patron, Lord
Palmerston—not to mention the various small people
who yelp in their train.

In the House of Commons, of course, the ministerial
triumph was not so decisive as in the House of Lords,
although it was ample; and the discrepancy we must
attribute to the different character of the two houses.
The hereditary branch of the legislature contains
amongst its principal speakers men of business. In
entering upon a debate, they address themselves to
something definite, which is at issue. They have got,
too, the very valuable property of being able to confine
themselves to some definite point, and are not always
found wandering from the record. The members of
the reformed House of Commons, on the contrary,
have a provoking fashion of discoursing " de omnibus
rebus et quibusdum aliis." The tongue of one of your
reformed patriots, once put in motion, has no more
idea of stopping until the lungs are exhausted, or the
small modicum of brains or conceit which set it a-going
is expended, than the wheels of a locomotive have of
standing still until the steam is exhausted or the boiler
has collapsed,. His eye,

" in a fine frenzy rolling,
Glances from Heaven to earth, from earth to Heaven ;"
and, when you would imagine that it has " compre-
hended the universe," proceeds to poke and peer into
small crannies and dustholes. It is beyond the power
of any man or any minister to follow a dozen or two
dozen speakers through all the topics which they may
choose to introduce in their various discursive flights;
and hence it cannot be said of the opposition in the
Commons, as of that in the Lords, that it was en-
countered and crushed at every point.
This much, hrever, a perusal of the debate in the
former house will abundantly shew ; viz.—and we say
it emphatically—tifiat never, in our recollection of par-
liamentary proceedings at least, was an opposition

attempted which was more contemptible and ridiculous—
more disingenuous, shuffling, and dishonest ! His sublime
mightiness—Lord John Russell—was dissatisfied with
every act, profession, and principle of ministers. There
was nothing they had done or professed which he
could not have done or professed better ! His Bs.
duty was the perfection of attempted legislation. It
would have settled the question of the corn-laws, and
annihilated the League ! Would it ? Lord Palmerston
was eloquent upon his own foreign policy, a subject
upon which his lordship's notions appeared to be sin-
gular. The red-tapist would have settled Europe,
Asia, Africa, and Ainerica, by this time, had he been
still allowed to protocol and draw his pay. Messrs. C.
Wood and Lord Howick--the Pylades and Orestes of
the house—had a hundred petty quibbles to vent. Mr.
Joseph Hume was eloquent upon free trade, as was
Mr. Villiers; and the two wise members for Manchester
were almost electrical. But a battery of pop-guns,
directed against a British seventy-four, would have
produced quite as decisive an effect as this shower of
words—" prave 'ords," as Fluellin would call them—
produced upon the conservative phalanx, or the
ministry of Sir Robert Peel.

Amongst the notices of motion placed upon the
journals of the House of Commons, there are two
which it affords us sincere pleasure to observe. One
of these is a notice, by Mr. Roebuck, of his intention
to move for a committee to inquire into the origin and

objects of the war With Affghanistan. We should cer,
tainly have preferred a staunch Conservative, as the

author of such a proceeding. We have some faith,
however, in the honesty of Mr. Roebuck; and if the
same energy and determination of purpose be brought
to the task, which we trust he has now imposed upon
himself,—the task of unravelling the disingenuous
manoeuvring and concealment, on the part of the late
Whig government, with respect to this question,—
which he displayed to conspicuously—we say not to
what good purpose—upon another question during the
last session, he will he, indeed, entitled to the thanks of
his fellow-countrymen.

The other, and by far the most important notice, is
by Lord Mahon, of a motion' for an address to her
Majesty, urging upon her the necessity of steps being
taken by the legislature, for the promotion of a system
of moral and religious education for the people. We
know not what may he the reply of the government of
Sir Robert Peel to such a motion. We know, how-
ever,
what ought to he that reply, and we hope for the
best. One member of the ministry of Sir Robert Peel
has already expressed himself, in terms not to be mis-
taken, upon the vital importance of such education to
the people themselves, as promoting their happiness,
temporal and eternal, and as promoting, too, the safety
of the most valued institutions of the country. We
refer, of course, to the sentiments uttered by Mr.
W. E. Gladstone, on a late occasion, in our own town.
We might also dwell upon the remarks which fell
from the lips of another gentleman connected with the
present administration—Mr. Sydney Herbert—upon
the subject of the duties which we owe to the poor
of the country. By far the strongest ground, how-
ever, of the hope which we entertain of government
aid, upon this question, is contained in a passage of
the speech of Lord. Stanley, in the debate upon the
address, on Thursday night. Referring to the recent
disturbances in the manufacturing districts, his lord-
ship—in reply to a complaint of Lord John Russell,
that those disturbances were only alluded to, in the
Speech from the Throne, as occurrences to repress
which it was desirous of calling into operation the full
powers of the law—gave utterance to the following
very remarkable, and, we trust, significant intimation.
We quote from the London Times:—

" The noble lord" (John Russell) " was not warranted in
inferring that no other measures were contemplated by the
Government, which should have the effect of removing the
evil to which he had adverted, and the main source of which
is the ignorance of large classes of the community. I con-
cur certainly in attributing a great part of the disorders,
which have from time to time arisen in this country, to the
want of st(fficient means of religious instruction, (hear,) and
I believe it was most signally manifested in the course of the
recent disturbances, that they were most rife in those places
in which the greatest ignorance prevailed ; (hear,) and that
they were suppressed with the greatest difficulty, and took
the firmest hold of the population where the means of reli-
gious instruction were least efficient, either under the ad-
ministration of the clergy of the Established Church, (an
ironical Hear' from the opposition,) or the ministers of
dissenting denominations (hear;) and 1 do not think cer-
tainly, sir, that I am not claiming too much—notwithstanding
that ironical cheer—in stating that, in operating upon the
minds of the people, through the medium of religious in-
struction, the clergy of the Church of England have been
found, to the extent of their means, at all wanting."

Now, are we not justified in entertaining very strong
hopes that the direct admission here made—that the
want of religious instruction for the people is the
fruitful source of crime and insurrection—is to be fol-
lowed up, by government, with some practical and
effective legislation, to supply such want ? The mini,,try
of Sir Robert Peel are convinced, now, of the fact,
which for years past we have never ceased to declare,
that the manufacturing interest is drawing together,
to the large towns and villages of the north of Eng-
land and Scotland, vast masses of population, subject
to periodical depression in their condition and, hence,
easily inflammable—easily led on to outrage by de-
signing demagogues. They see that no provision has
been made, or is making, for the. moral and religious
education of those massed, by those who profit by their
toil; and can it be other than the duty of a paternal
and wise government to take care that, even at the ex-
pense of the nation at large, an evil which threatens its
internal tranquility, and the very existence of its most
valued institutions, should at once be grappled with,
at all hazards and at any cost ? We humbly think
that it is a duty; and we trust that our hopes of the

performance of that duty, on the part of Sir Rohm-
reel's Ouv ei inuent., uto nut dcatiued to In;
pointed.

We really must confess that we feel some degree of
indisposition to approach the consideration of the say-
ings or the doings of the gentlemen assembled, on this
day week, at our Amphitheatre.

" Tedious as a thrice-told tale"

were the spouters, one and all ; from Villiers down-
wards—if such a progression there can be, even when
that self-sufficient sage is at one extremity of the scale,
and our own Blackburn at the other. The latter sage,
by the way, we are glad to see, was on this occasion,
for the first time in his life, justly appreciated by a
Liverpool audience, and especially by the ladies, who
are excellent judges of a bore. The Doctor was there
" big with speech,"—ready to illuminate and astonish
all the world,—hut so were the fireworks ; and as the
said fireworks were supposed to be likely to make the
most noise and give the greatest light, they went off,
and the Doctor only went home. The rocket went up;
the stick came down. Alas ! alas I for the Doctor !
To two of the illustrious who figured on the occa-
sion we must, despite the nausea with which the sub-
ject affects us, say a few words; and first let us address
ourselves to Mr. Daniel O'Connell—we forget whether
at this moment he is the Right Honourable the Mayor
of Dublin, or only plain member for Cork county, and
beggarman extraordinary to all Ireland. And if we are
guilty of any breach of courtesy or etiquette, he must
pardon us. What brought, we ask, this very eminent
personage amongst us ? His zeal for free•trade ? No,
no. We Saxons are a very green people, but we can-
not gulp down anything so palpably absurd as that.
But what did bring to this favoured town the arch
imposter ? We suspect, a little private business of his
own, together with, perhaps, a slight—a very slight—
sympathy with the designing people of the Anti-Corn-
Law-League. That an agricultural population, such
as that Daniel O'Connell represents, could be bene-
fitted by the repeal of the corn and provision laws ;
that the county of Cork could be benefitted by the ad-
mission into the markets of England, of foreign wheat,
oats, and other grain, and of the bacon, hams, pork,
butter, eggs, &c. of America and the continent of Eu-
rope ;—is what that eminent patriot no more believes
than he or we believe in the infallibility of the Pope.
Why, then, stand forward upon the platform, and pro-
claim as true what he knows to be so manifest an ab-
surdity ? Good reader, there are many reasons. First,
the wallet is empty, and little chance of filling it on the
other side of the channel, whilst the leaguers bleed
freely. Secondly, an access of manufacturing activity
would invite some thousands of his starving and beg-
gared dupes to fatten in the manufacturing towns;
and these immigrants bleed freely, besides strengthen-
ing the hands of the Romish church in this portion of
the empire. Thirdly, the destruction of the British
market for the produce of Ireland would go a great
way to destroy the established church in Ireland.
Fourthly, it would go far to annihilate rent the
country—Ao root out the hated Saxon race, ano esta-
blish "fixity of tenure" in the existing Irish popula-
tion. Fifthly and lastly, the success of the league
would repeal the legislative union between the two
countries, and establish the Church of Rome as the
dominant church iu Ireland ! Surely here are reasons
sufficient for the presence of Mr. Daniel O'Connell at
the league banquet in Liverpool.

The other gentleman, with whom we purpose having
a few minutes chat, is a very modest individual, named
Bright. It appears to be the " Role" of this meek
personage, at every meeting which he attends, in any
town except his own, to take his hearers to task for
their various sins of political omission and commission,
and to hold up for their imitation the very different
way in which they manage things in the enlightened
town which boasts the honour of having " raised" a
sage so illustrious. That Mr. Bright has a perfect
right to assume the part of the schoolm!ster and the
moralist, must be evident, when we remind our readers
that he is, first and foremost, a millowner ; secondly,
that he breathes the pure air and moves in the polished
society of the borough of Rochdale, or Rachdaw—local
etymologists differ as to the spelling of the word, but
Tim Bobbin has it Rachdaw. Thirdly, that he is a
Quaker; and lastly, that he has studied with much

nction, and quotes from
-a fact of which w

Byron's " Don Juan"
think " the society" ought to

splendid, we understand, to wit-

ake notice

ess the enthusiasm \Vitt] vßich lie gave at tt

g on 'Tuesday the celebrated and

übidne

urn the very moral poem in question—

" Oh, for a forty-parson power, to ellaunt

Thy praise hypocrisy

. .
Although some people seem to he of opinion that the

passage was rather teo satirical a hit at the " ministers
of denominations," and one of the fraternity present,
we are told,, was heard to mutter that a forty Quaker-
power would be quite as effectual a qualification for
such a task. Upon this point, however, we leave the
parties to settle their differences, and proceed to the
matter we have more immediately in hand.
The modest Mr. Bright, it appears, has of late been
varying his studies, and by way of relief, we suppose,
from the naughtiness of Don Juan, has dipped into the
Prayer Book of the Established Church, in search of
argument in support of his free trade crotchets. And
one, which he holds up as conclusive in favour of the
abolition of the corn-laws and the blessings of free
trade, he has found in the prayer which our church

eaches us to use " in times of dearth and famine."

In that prayer we beseech " of God, our heavenly
Father," to "grant that the scarcity and dearth which
we do now most justly sup,- for our iniquity may,
through his goodness, be mercifully turned into cheap-
ness and plenty." There, exclaims the Leaguer; .by
that very prayer, the Rev. Hugh W.N elle and every
churchman acknowledge the advantage to the working
man and all classes of the community of a cheap loaf.
" Cheapness and plenty" 1 how do you get over these
expressions ? Stop one moment, most modest of
sophists ; and tell us—what is cheapness ? Adam
Smith, we believe, was of opinion that cheapness and
plenty were not synonymous terms; in other words,
that " an article might be cheap or low priced, not
because it was plentiful, but because the money to buy

.t was scarce." Now, we use the words "cheapness

and plenty" in this prayer as synonymous. We pray
that the fruits of the earth may be both abundant in
quantity and within our reach to purchase. We pray
for that cheapness which the farmer, the landowner,
the merchant, and the labourer equally desire—that
cheapness which is created by abundant harvests,
vouchsafed us by a bountiful Providence ; and not for
the cheapness which the corn jobber and the millocrat
seeks—the cheapness which is to beggar the cultivator,
depress the fortunes of the landowner, and reduce the
labourer to the condition of a serf, eating his daily
bread only in such quantities and for such tasks as it
may suit the avarice of his taskmasters to allot him.
Cheap bread ! Aye that would be cheap bread of
which it would be left to the tender mercies of Mr.
John Bright, or any other Quaker cotton lord or corn
Jew, to fix the price! But we are sick of Mr. John
Bright, and respectfully wish him health, more modesty
and more brains !

We should really imagine that, in his lucid moments,
or at least in those intervals of solitude when the un-
happy irritability of his temper has no object to vent
itself upon, or stage upon which to exhibit, Mr. Alder-
man Earle must experience deep and gnawing remorse.
That a man, occupying the position of a gentleman,
and, we presume, possessing, at times, the feelings of
one, can stoop to the buffoonery which, upon every
successive meeting of the council, Mr. Earle practises,
is indeed humiliating to contemplate ; and, to his
friends, ought to suggest serious doubts of his fitness
for a position in which his infirmity is made so con-
spicuous to all the world. A man may be permitted
to grin, and snarl, and snap, and chatter, for the
amusement of a private circle—may stand upon his
head, or enact any other similar absurdity, in his own
dining or drawing-room; bnt surely it is rank cruelty
to permit him thus to degrade himself in a public
assembly, met together for the transaction of important
business, and in which every senseless word uttered,
and every grimace used, are duly recorded, for the
perusal and the laughter, contempt or disgust, of an
entire community.

We did purpose saving a few words upon the subject
of the debate itself, which Mr. Earle so completely
succeeded in travestying; but we withhold, and our
readers will thank us, we doubt not, for so doing.
The opposition to the present system of the Education
Committee we once thought worthy of being treated
with something like esetioum argument and attention;
but, thanks to his Reverence, Mr. Parker, and the
twenty dogeared Douay Bibles, referred to.in the me-
morial which formed the subject of debate on Wednes-
day, the opposition in question has become now simply
contemptible : and the efforts of ifs ablest supporters
were limed twigs to catch such sparrows as the gentle-
man who voted that the said dogeared articles "should
be given up, were it only to get rid of the question,"
and then jumped round and voted that they should not
be sold, or otherwise disposed of, for the achievement
of the same object. There are people, it seems, even
in this enlightened age, who are ready to admit that
three and two make five, but deny that two and three
make up the same number ! We commend them to
Cocker and common sense.

SACRAMENTAL PLATE.—Mr. John Painter, of Church-
street, has presented St. Simon's Church, in this town, With
a pair of handsome cups for the communion service.
THE EATHER.—On Saturday night the wind abated,
considerably, and a keen frost set in, which has continued
ever since, and we have now more delightfully seasonable
weather than we have experienced this winter.
- -

The number of publicans and beer-sellers, summoned be'
fore Mr. Rushton, on Friday, was 26. In all the cases proved,
the defendants were mulcted in severe penalties, and a caution
given as to future proceedings.
It is worthy of remark, that neither on Saturday nor
Sunday did a vessel arrive from a foreign port. Nor, with the
exception of steamers, were there many either coastwise or
from Ireland. -

ST. GEORGE'S HALL.—The stone of which this beautiful
structure is to be composed will, we understand, be supplied
from the Darley Dale Quarry, in Derbyshire, and brought
thence to Liverpool by Messrs. G. Wheatcroft and Son s
boats.

THE ACHILL MISSION.—The meeting which was al"
nounced for last evening, at the Music-hall, for the purpose
of hearing from the Rev. Edward Nangle a detail of his in
teresting operations at Achill Island, has been unavoidabb:
postponed, in consequence of the sudden illness of Oa'
gentleman.

ST. BRIDE'S SCHOOLS.-9 public examination of the
fant department connected with the above schools was held
on Monday week, before the subscribers and friends, vg"`;
the children were questioned extempore by Mr. S. Hacs.e,',o'
master, in Scripture and other useful knowledge, to tP
entire satisfaction of all present.

Merchants, captains, &c., sailing to the West Indies' ~
Africa, or any other unhealthy climate, are recommended t
take a supply of Middlewood's Botanic Hair Oil, which 'lt
only prevents the hair from falling off or turning grey,. 1),„f
preserves the scalp cool, soft, and healthy. The propilehis
will satisfy any doubts of these facts. For price, see
advertisement.
DISTRICT BANKRUPTCY COURT.—The -
Commissioner. o,el,
the court have hitherto held their sittings in the Sessiolib'
house. As, however, the Sessions-house will, this week, tt
required for the business of the Borough Sessions, and, 13,er,
month, for the Assizes, the building in Castle-street, '°
merly the Queen's Arms Hotel, is fitting up as a temporary
court for the use of the Commissioners.
DEATH FROM A FALL.—Some weeks ago, Hester Shit;
wood, aged 80 years, who lived with her daughter in Norf%,
court, top of Norfolk-street, went into the yard with a c,.° 0
dle, which was blown out ; and in returning she fell itlif
cellar hole, and broke her leg. She lingered until Fr'
last, when she died in consequence of the fracture and 01"
injuries. The inquest will be held this day.
THEATRE ROYAL : MR. W. J. HAMMOND'S ADDR°74e.
It will be seen by the Theatre Royal advertisement that 0.
W. J. Hammond intends to address the audience this 0°,4
ing, from the stage, on the subject of the attempts 170,
making in certain quarters to throw the onus of the tat! PO
secutions upon him, and otherwise prejudice him '0 tber
mind of the public. There will be, no doubt, some 1.12, the
curious disclosures made. The five act comedy °f ears
" School of Reform" is well cast. Rayner's Tyke,
ago, was a fine performance. IVir•
INQLEST.—Yesterday, an inquest was held before Mr.
Curry, on view of the body of John Duncan, carter for dell,
Taylor, Union-street. The deceased was on Saturda4r3l-
vering bags of sugar from his cart, at a warehouse in t",fter
tar-row ;he had slung two bags in the jigger-rope only.,_; Was
slinging them, and while they were being hoisted up, wbeo
preparing some other bags to be similarly delivered,_o the
one of those above fell down upon him, and killed Ilia?
spot. As some further evidence was required the am
was adjourned until this day. wool
THE GUARDIAN SOCIETY.—The twentieth argil ro o
dinner of this Society will take place, in the large ° oo'er
the York Hotel, this evening, at six o'clock.

BODY OP A CHILD FouNb.—On Friday last the body of
a new-born female child was found on the King's Dock pier-
head. It had been stillborn, and, at the inquest held before
Mr. Curry, the jury returned a verdict accordingly.
A female, named Sullivan, embarked on Friday, at Dublin,
in the Commerce steamer for this port. She was ill when she
went on board, and so continued all the passage, during which
very severe weather was experienced. On arrival she was
sent to the Northern Hospital, but died on the way to that
institution. The inquest will be held this day.
THE KIREDALE QUARTER SESSIONS.—We learn from a
circular of Messrs. Gorst and Birchall, clerks to the magis-

Kirkdale, the Quarter Sessions there will is future commence

sequence of this alteration, the following ill be the days on
which such Quarter sessions will be held during the present
