TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The correspondent who writes to us respecting the "Colonial
Passengers Bill " will obtain the information he requires
at the Government Emigration Office, Union-street. We
are unable to answer his queries, as we have nut a copy of
the bill.
We shall of course attend to the request of Lord Kenyon.
We highly appreciate, end are deeply grateful for, the kind
testimonial of his lordship in favour of our efforts for the
dissemination of conservative truths. The spontaneous
assurance of his lordship that "the LIVERPOOL STAN-
DARD is the ablest paper he sees." is no trifling encourage-
ment for increased eyertions in the advocacy of the princi-
ples which we have always ardently maintained.
THE MAGAZINES. Our reviewer has devoted himself
ardulously to his monthly task, but the fruit of his labour
" availeth us nothing," the assise intelligence completely
occupying our columns. He speaks highly of Fraser,
Blackwood, and the Dublin university. Our Mess, Handy
Andy, he especially extols—Coombe Abbey, and the Belle
Assemblee—a good number. The Farmer's Sportsman,
Carlton's Traits of the Irish Peasantry, a new serial, and
a very clever one. Punch—famous—and a host of others
have come to hand. We will try and make room for
notices before the month is out; if we cannot, in the
mean time, we recommend them all to the attention of our

readers.
Mr. Henry Cromwell has requested us to publish the follow-
ing statement with -reference to a paragraph inserted in the
STANDARD of Tuesday last, headed "A Trumpery Case,"
which was tried at the Court of Passage some time during
the previous week :—" I had occasion, in my business, to
call at Mr. Timcthy's, in Lime-street. The defendant,
Garner, met me there. He offered live pounds to one
against Attila winning the Derby; I accepted it, and then
left. On the following day I met him again ; he asked if
I would double the bet, as he always considered the field
the best chance. I told him that I was not a betting man,
and did not wish to be considered so. However, he pressed
me, and I took his second bet of five to one, and that. too,
in the presence of gentlemen whose respectability will not
be doubted. I booked it, read it over to him, and he
assented to it ; and the gentlemen who heard the bet, still
affirm that lam entitled to the money. Unfortunately,
my witnesses were not, in court when the case came on,
and that is the only reason why it broke down."

THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 9, 1342

It will be seen by a report in our columns this day
that judgment has at length been given, by the highest
court in the realm, in the long disputed case of Lady
Ilewley's charity. By this decision the claim of the
Socinian party to the funds in question is finally set at
rest, and we have no doubt that, as its result, that
party will now be compelled to unclose their grasp
upon numberless similar charities which they have for
years past usurped and perverted to the spread of their
noxious and u... ,ristian schism.

The community owe not a little to the editor of the
Liverpool Journal—(or possibly to some reverend
bachelor who may have occupied his stool on Saturday
last)—for the admissions with which he has furnished
us in his remarks upon the subject of the corporation
schools :

"The Education Committee," &c., writes the Journal,
" from whom a return is at last wrung, state, we observe, the
number of pupils on the books of the corporation schools at—
N. School. S. School.
Members of the Church of England 614
Protestant Dissenters
Roman Catholics

874 558
We strongly suspect that in the second term are included
methodists, and they principally ; for though methodists do
not call themselves dissenters, they are the only protestants
we are aware of not in communion with the established
church, who can consistently allow their children to receive
the religious education now given in these schools. That
there is, properly speaking, one Roman catholic in the
schools, we do not believe. We believe that the authors of
that report, whoever they be—of course the chairman and
majority of the members of the committee are mere puppets
in the matter—are telling in substance, if not in terms, a
shameless falsehood. We do not believe there is one child
who is in communion, or whose parents arc in communion
with the church to which it is said he belongs. If he enters
the school a Roman catholic, it is impossible that a Roman
catholic he can remain ; for, by whatever priest he applies
to for the rites of his church, he will be told that he is daily
in the commission of sin by complying with the regulations
of the school in religious matters."

We point the especial attention of our readers to the
part which we have marked with italics. To what-
ever priest a Roman Catholic child who attends these
schools may apply for the rites of his church, by that
priest he will be refused those rites. He will be told
that in attending the corporation schools he is " DAILY
IN THE COMMISSION OF ISIN V' In submitting to
hear read, not the Church Catechism, not Church of
England doctrines, but THE BIBLE, unaccompanied
by Romish comments and notes—the word of God,
unaccompanied by the glossings of man—he is offend-
ing against God 0) and is to be put forth from the
church to which he belongs ! But proceed we with
the remarks of our Romish journalist :

" It is just possible that there may be that number of
children of the most dissolute and destitute classes of society,
whose parents, having been originally catholics or of catholic
descent, without openly renouncing their creed have adopted
no other, and are practically without any profession of re-
ligion at all. It is certainly very proper that these poor
children should be educated ; it is proper that if their parents
wish it they should be brought up as protestants—much
better, we think the most zealous catholic must allow, than
that they should receive no spiritual care, no moral culture
whatever."

The admissions here, coming from a Romish organ,
are certainly important and striking. There may be,
we are told, a number of children of Romish parents
who are "PRACTICALLY WITHOUT RELIGION AT
ALL ;" and these Romanism would allow to be edu-
cated and even to "be brought up as Protestants."
The latter even is " much better than that they should
receive no spiritual care, no moral culture whatever!"
But what says this very doctor in the passage just be-
fore quoted ? Why, that these very children, not in
being "brought up as Protestants," which, in fact,
they are not, but in "complying with the regulations
of the school in religious matters"—in reading any
version of the Scriptures which is not accompanied by
Romish comments—are "daily in the commission of
sin !" These very neglected children—" children of
the most dissolute and destitute classes of society"—
will be told by their priests, if they apply for the rites
of the church which professes to have the spiritual care
of their souls, that they are "daily in the commission of
sin," unless they resign that education which is ad-
mitted to be " better than no spiritual care, no moral
culture whatever !" Truly, Popery preaches a most
irreconcileable doctrine when she allows herself to be
betrayed into professions of tolerance and liberality !

But let us contrast the doctrine of the learned
Journalist with that of another le;:rned Theban—Mr.
Francis Jordan. That eminent authority has for
thirty years been connected withi Saint Patrick's school,
and esteems its greatest merit to consist in the fact
that there "no religion is taught"—that there "reli-
gion is excluded" altogether ! How, then, can the
Journal for a moment hesitate in giving his preference,
even;for the children of poor Roman Catholics, to the
corporation schools, as at present conducted, over the
school in question, when he admits that " the most
zealous Catholic must allow" the education received in
the former to be " much better" for the children in
question " than that they should receive no spiritual
care, no moral culture, whatever ?" We leave the
jesuit and the layman to settle this discrepancy between
them.
• There are one or two facts, which the debate of
Wednesday and the comments upon it of the Romish
journalist are amply sufficient to establish ; and we
would recommend them to the serious consideration
of that portion of the Conservative body in the council
who profess to be guided, in their future conduct upon
the subject of education in the corporation schools, by

DOWN !

the working of the system of the present committee.
In the first place it is plain that the publication of re-
turns such as are here commented upon can never be
other than most inimical to the really advantageous
working of the system. It must bring priestly influ-
ence to bear upon the hundreds of poor Roman Cath-
olic parents who, but for such influence, would gladly
embrace the benefits offered them in these schools for
their destitute children. To no good result, that we
know of, can it lead; for :admitting that in time the
returns may show a large increase of Roman Catholic

seholars, we shall always have jesuitical commentators
vady to prove that the very result which they show is

In the next place it is plain that, notwithstanding
which may be used by the priesthood to
prevent the attendance of the children of Roman
Catholics at these schools, the present excitement upon
the subject and these " returns," which tend to pro-
long it, being withdrawn, a large field of usefulness is
open to the Education Committee. No Roman Catholic
child, we are told by the Journal,—none, at least,

" who is in communion or whose parents are in com-
munion" with the Church of Rome—can possibly be
an attendant of the schools without ipse facto ceasing
to he "a Catholic." But may wct.not ask how many
are there of the 80,000 Roman Catholics resident in
Liverpool who are not "in communion"—who are, in
fact, although " Catholics", in name, yet " practically
without any profession of religion at all ?" There are,
we may venture to say, THOUSANDS amongst us of
this " most dissolute and destitute class"---4housands
for whom Popery does absolutely nothing,—who are
wrecks upon the face of society, abandoned, untaught,
and uncared for ;—unnoticed, even, except when a
contribution is to be extorted for " the church" or a

"rite for some truculent agitator. Amongst the
children of this " destitute class" of our fellow-towns-
men, the benefits of a Scriptural education may be
widely diffused, if the council and the committee fear-
lessly do their' duty. Nay, it is because those benefits
will be so diffused—because those thousands of children
who are " practically without religion at all" are about,
we trust, to 'be raised from their present degrading
ignorance, and placed, in intelligence and in Scriptural
knowledge, above, the bigotry of ROme, that Popery
FEARS THE PRESENT SYSTEM, AND WOULD PUT IT

The news furnished us by the arrival of the overland
mail from India are of a nature which it is difficult
indeed to contemplate with satisfaction. • It is true we
have no disastrous reverses to grieve over. So far as
we can understand it, our policy in Aifghanistan has
been attended with entire success. No apparent enemy
threatens the safety of our troops in that country. No
overwhelming difficulty seems to exist to prevent our
vindication of the power and the .prestige of Great
Britain in the eyes of the Asiatic nations, by a march
upon Cabul and the dictation of terms of peace to an
humbled if not a subjugated enemy. And yet we have
every reason to believe that the armies of England are
about to withdraw—we shrink from saying, to retreat
—beyond the Indus,—the honour and the power of
England but feebly asserted, and our slaughtered
fellow-countrymen, whose bones now whiten upon the
field of their death, unburied and unavenged.
We have never urged, and we urge not now, a .war
of retaliation—of RETRIBUTORY MURDER—against
the tribes of Affghanistan. We entered their territory,
in the outset, with a criminal object in view. 'We have
outraged by this unhappy step international law and
eternal justice ; and the doom which fell upon our
heads, dare we say it was not the award of an avenging
God upon us for a national crime ? It is, perhaps,
not more than the submission which we owe to out-
raged humanity and justice that we should retract from
our criminal quarrel. But we are far from being con-
vinced that it is in such a spirit that the alleged ordi-
nance of the Governor-General of India has been
issued for the withdrawal of our troops from beyond
the Indus. From Lord Ellenborough and from the
present administration we expected no blind perseve-
rance in a fatal wrong—no murderous and revengeful
policy; no colonization of a country to which we have
no claim ;—bnt as little did we anticipate a step, such
as the immediate abandonment of Atfghanistan ap-
pears to be, which must fasten upon our reputation, in
the eyes of she eavag-e tribes by whom our.lndian eui-
pire is surrounded, the taint of weakness in maintaining
.ci quarrel superadded to thatof injustice commencing
one! n

Most strongly do we fear, therefore, that the posi-
tion of British power in India is not at this moment so
secure as we would wish it to be ;—that our retirement
from Affghanistan is a step dictated by imperious ne-
cessity, to preserve us from threatening evils nearer
the centre of our own territory. We cannot for a mo-
ment bring ourselves to believe, that without some
strong overruling circumstances, such a step would be
taken. We are confident, at least, that the Governor-
General of India would never dare so far to outrage
the feelings of Englishmen as to desert those unhappy
fellow-countrymen and countrywomen who are held in
bondage by their barbarous and treacherous captors,
whilst the possibility remained within his reach of
striking a blow for their relief.

With our present deficiency of information we shall
say no more upon this distressing subject. But, if we
mistake not, a day must shortly come when it will be
not our duty alone but the duty of every Englishman
to speak out upon it, and to speak firmly and deci-
sively ; and when no legislature will be permitted to
throw its shield between CRIMINALS, against the Bri-
tish nation, however high their rank, and the just
punishment which they have earned !

This day—so at least we are informed by placards
posted on our walls—the town of Liverpool is to be
visited by no less a personage than "the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor of Dublin (!)"—better known to the
world as THE BEGGARMAN, DANIEL O'CONNELL !
The object—the professed object, rather,—of this mean
and malignant creature's appearance amongst us—is
to assist in some mendicant exhibition to be got up
to-day at the Amphitheatre, in behalf of " the society
of Saint Francis Xavier." What this society or who
this Saint may be, or what are their joint claims upon
the pockets of the Irish Papists of Liverpool, of course,
the majority of the dupes who may be collected toge-
ther upon the occasion know not. Of the saint him-
self all that we remember at this moment is that he
was the founder of the order of Jesuits—an order
which, for its political interferences with the liberties
of the human race, has been proscribed from time to
time in every state in Europe, and which is at this
moment prohibited, under pains and penalties, from
showing its head in these realms. Of the society
whose progress amongst us the object of the meeting
in the Amphitheatre is to advance, we can only con-
clude that it is, in fact, the obnoxious Jesuit order in
question. Some great Popish work is no doubt just now
to be advanced by the society and the saint, for which
money is required; and, upon the principle, we pre-
sume that great instruments must be used for the
achievement of great ends, the most eminent mendi-
cant of the day has been retained for the occasion, and
will, in addition to the exercise of his excruciating
power of wheedling the gullible public, exhibit his
" most sweet person" at the charge of " two shillings
and sixpence do the boxes and eighteenpence to the pit,"
the gallery being permitted to see and shout at the
monster gratis.

STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, 84c

If the state of our Cotton Market may be taken as any

criterion, the improvement in the trade of this district can

we should imagine, no.longer be denied by the most ha

their statements, amongst the distress-mongers. During the
week ending Friday last, the sales made amounted•to no less
than 54,000 bales; and this, be it remarked, was the third
or fourth week of extensive and progressively increasing

firmness of demand. Of the above quantity 13,000 bales
were taken by speculators, and 750 for export, leasing still
upwards of 30,000 bale. taken by the trade. The market
closed on Friday very firmly, with an advance upon last
week's quotations, of id. to id. per lb. upon American sorts,

On Saturday the business was again large, amounting to
10,000 bales, of which 2000 are on speculation, and 500 for

printers flying over the moon, or picking up tens of thou-

a greater or less extent amongst all these classes, or nearly
all. The improved business is gradual, but it is felt never-
theless. It is seen in the faces and in the transactions of
men who loudly deny its existence; and it is seen most in
the increased bustle and activity which pervades every tho-

roughfare throughout our manufacturing town

The only drawback we have to notice is a rumour circa-

latcd upon our Exchange yesterday, of au approaching turn-

true that many encroachments upon the wa

a remedy of this evil, and we are confident any movement
now will be fruitless, if indeed it be likely at any future time
to be successful. Manufacturing wages never rise again if
once knocked down ! We trust, however, that the rumour

MELANCHOLY DEATH FROM DROWNING.—We regret to
announce the death of Mr. Brown, collector at Monks'
Ferry, Birkenhead. Mr. Brown left home on Monday
morning, and went to the Potteries, on the Lancashire shore,
where he continued the whole of the day. Early on Tues-
day morning, after breakfast, he proceeded towards the shore,
undressed himself, left his clothes on the beach, and went
into the river in fifteen feet water In a few minutes he was
seen to sink. The body, in the course of ten minutes, was
found. All exertions made to restore animation proved un-
successful.

APPOINTMENT OF AN OPHTHALMIC SURGEON TO THE
WORKHOUSE.—We understand that for many years past a
disease of the eyes has been prevailing in the Liverpool
Workhouse, which has been exceedingly fatal in its results,
numbers of the children, and even adults, being deprived of
sight, and rendered, much disfigured by their enlarged and
protruded eyeballs, and hence perpetual drains upon the
parish funds. It gives us much pleasure to announce, that
these evils are likely to be remedied by the judicious appoint-
ment, by the Board of Guardians, of r: Neill, surgeon of
the Ophthalmic Infirmary, to the superintendence of the eye
department of this establishment ; and we are sure, if energy
and skill can do anything in checking or alleviating the evil,
the Board of Guardians have done well in obtaining the ser-
vices of this gentleman, whose great experience and success
in the treatment of eye disease have made him the provincial
authority on this subject.

OUR REPRESENTATIVES.—We have again to notice the
services rendered by our excellent members to the general
interests of our trading community. On Thursday, the 28th
ult., a deputation from this town of merchantsi connected
with the trade to the River Plate waited on the Eail of Aber-
deen, when they were not only accompanied in a mere formal
manner by Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas, but a
zealous co-operation in the furtherance of the objects of the
deputation, and a lively interest in the business in band,
were the distinguishing traits in the conduct of our honour-
able members on this occasion. Thus it has invariably been
in every case where their services were required ; and it
should not be lost sight of that when honourable members
thus zealously and willingly exert themselves, they are en-
titled to the hearty thanks and confidence f the country
at large.
THE EXHIBITION AT THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.
—The splendid exhibition at the Mechanics' Institution ter-
minated on Saturday week. At half-past seven in the even-
ing, there was a meeting in the Lecture Room of the Insti-
tution, for the purpose of making known the results of the
exhibition. The room was crowded, and on the platform
were assembled a number of the directors and of other gen-
tlemen. Mr. W. B. Hodgson stated the results of the ex-
hibition. The receipts, of course, would not be fully made
up until ten o'clock ; but he was enabled to state that they
would not be above £3O short of £4OOO. (Much applause.)
The total receipts of the last exhibition were £3300. Now,
as that was open thirty-eight days, while this had been open
only thirty-six, it would be seen that a very great increase
had taken place in the receipts, comparing the one with the
other. The average daily receipts had been nearly £llO.
Mr. Hodgson proceeded to give the number of visitors, up
to the time at which he was speaking, and several other re-
sults, as far as they could then be ascertained ; but those we
omit, and furnish a statement of the results up to the close
of the exhibition. It is as follows :—Total receipts, £3,985
13s. 11d.; average daily receipts, £lO7 13. 4d.; greatest
amount taken in one day, £2lO Gs. Id. ' • the least ditto, £4O
4s. Id. Number of season ticket sold at 2s. Gd., 3,636, of
which 3,017 were purchased before the end of the first three
weeks of the exhibition, and 619 after the price was reduced
to non-members from ss. to 2s. 6. Number of season tickets
sold at 55., 699. Number of visitors in forenoon for the
thirty-six days, 18,802 ; ditto afternoon, 57,014 ; average
daily attendance in the forenoon, 522; ditto afternoon, 1,583;
number of pupils belonging to the charity schools who were
allowed to visit the exhibition gratuitously, say `20,000;
household servants during last week, 310. The aggregate
number of persons who had visited the exhibition was, there-
fore, about 100,000. Several speeches were made by different
gentlemen.

AMUSEMENTS 01? THE WERK.—Those who have time to
devote to amusement may find it well occupied. At the
Lyceum there is a wondeful skeleton found by Dr. Koch, in
the State Missouri, called Missourium Theristrocaulodon.
The elephant beside this mighty beast must have looked in
the same proportion as the ox to the elephant—in fact, the
Lyceum Room is not high enough to elevate it to its proper
proportion. We earnestly recommend our readers to inspect
this wonder of nature, not only a us stupendous Zoological
specimen, but as exemplifying passages in the bible that have
long been the subject of mystery.—we allude to the 41st
Chapter in the Book of Job, where the Leviathan is men-
tioned. As we shall devote a space to this exhibition pro-
bably in our next, we merely recommend it to notice, pre-
suming that the spectator cannot fail to be struck with sur-
prise, awe, and admiration. The next object of note is the

Rock Harmonicon at the Music Hall. This instrument is
beautifully played upon by Mr. Davies, who so cleverly
touched a similar instrument of Richardson's some time ago.
Mr. Catlin's lectures in the evening are well worth attention.
By means of twenty persons, lie shows the different groups,
pictures, &c., exhibited by him at the Mechanics Institution.
His lectures are at the Portico, and are of a most interesting
and instructive character. Mr. Catlin for a long time in
London drew crowds of visitors. The Photographic Gallery,
although not coming within the class of amusements to the
visitor in Liverpool, is worthy of attention. The likenesses
taken are excellent.
MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.—On Saturday last an inquisi-
tion was taken before the deputy coroner, on view of the
body of Catherine Carney, aged 31. Four witnesses were
examined, but the evidence of Superintendent Leverett and
the house surgeon at the Infirmary, will give all the material
circumstances of the case. The former gentleman stated,
that on Monday week, lie went, by direction of the Com-
missioner of Police, to the Infirmary, to see the deceased.
She declared her impression that she could not recover. She
told witness, in the presence of Mr. Brandreth, that at five
o'clock on the morning of the sth July, she was in the street,
not far from St. James's Church, when two men accosted
her, laid their hands on her shoulders, and called her an
Irish b . They went away, but returned shortly after,
-
and knocked her down, beat and kicked her violently while
she lay on the ground, saving, "We'll finish you, you old
Orange b-." She called loudly for a police-officer, and,
at length, one came to her, but she could remember nothing
further. She did not know the two men, and could not tell
her, found
whether they were English or Irish. She said she belonged

_a candidate for the representation of South-
_ in his 'speech at the nomination,- on Saturday last,
ivered himself of the following :—" Had they forgotten—
while the sound of pistol shots was scarcely out of their ears
-no spinners, manufacturers, or I for

rich he did not hold the tories, or Mr. Mild:nay, or any
Christian responsible-but had they vet forgotten that the
Queen had been likened to a Jewess who was a tyrant, and
whose chariot-wheels • dabbled in blood, and that such
language led on and incited the assassins Oxford and Francis?
(A. perfect storm of groans and cries of " Sname " com-
pelled his lordship to stop for some time.) Ile denied im-
puting to Mr. Roby or Mr. Bradshaw language which incited
assassins to attack the Queen.• (Cries of -' You did! you
did !") This silly being, (who, it may be remembered, was
once very nearly being the chosen candidate of a very, silly
faction in ' our town,) was hardy enough, and dishonest
enough, to revive this ten-times refuted be ; and yet, as the
paragraph plainly shews, he was ignorant as his own hoots
of the name even of the gentleman to whom the disloyal
sentimentin question was calumniously imputed. It would
be a waste of words, however, to attempt to drive truth or
decency into a man who for his disgraceful conduct at this
very nomination was told by an elector of Southampton that
his name should, for the future, be Lord No-gent! There
are, by the way, many No. gents amongst the party to which
this Nugent belongs.
GERMAN DIPLOMA.—We learn from the Albion that Mr.
William Radcliffe, one of the first pupils of the Liverpool
Mechanics' Institution (and son of our respected townsman,
Mr. John S. Radcliffe, late secretary to the institution,) has
had the degree of Doctor of Philosophy conferred upon him
by the University of Geissen, in Germany. We understand
that the celebrated professor of chemistry in that university,
Dr. Leibig, is about to visit the principal universities in
England and Scotland, and that he will be accompanied, by
his late pupil,' Dr. Radcliff. As the form of u German di-
ploma may be an object of interest to some of our young
