estimation of every aanest patriot Five naeetiugs have been held at Eollowar bead since the 1 st of April , attended by the tens of thousands of brave artisans of Birmingham , « 3 d yet neither you nor * ny of your tribe have ever had the honesty to come forward and explain your unjustifiable conduct , or offer one word of advice to the patient , trustworthy , and generous fellow * whom you and your gang had su sheiBelally deserted tko moment you obtained your own endfl—viz ., the incorporation of the town snd perfidious Whig patronage , &c . No , neither you nor any of the Council of the Uflion could rotuter sufficient effrontery to come to any of these meetings , or contradict the straightforward , incontrovertible statement of fact * laid before the public by this observational committee ; every one of which gives the lie to your cilomnii s . No , no , but now that you think those facU are forgotten , assassin-like , you xknlk into a dark corner of the Juurna office , and with fancied impunity you assail yoor innocent victims witi the poisoned and malignant weapons of slander uotruth , and sophistry , well knowing thatthe Kditorof the -Jt / urnal would shield you , as far as he could , from the retort
01 the insulted and much-injured working men , by closing his Whig-paid columns against them , as lie has done . The poisoned dagger of the assassin could not spare even one victim , hence , the stab at poor Brown '* private character , reckless alike of the injury iiiUiclad on his sorrowing wife , and six helpless children , as of tbe ¦ cirelty and injustice committed by exciting an -uswarrantAble prejudice against the man previous to bis trial . Let the guiltlets cast the first stone at that man ! but not you , nor those with you , who have been for years using every means is your power to excite the public mind , and whos » instructions and advice has led Brown into his present aituatir . n . But what are the facts -it ' the case ? Why y » u and your « lique have gained jenr ends ; your patriotism has found its oepalcnrc ia the Birmiiutkani Corporation ; and the poor toals which you employed , for the purpose are no loD ^ er required ; but , maik ! you have assisted in conjuring up the ghost of Frankenstein which now you are so anxious to destroy ; but whether it be an angel o > light , or a di mon of darkness
, you are responsible for its birth , and may yet be called to a serious account for its de . ith , which it is evident you are coatempla ' . ing with malice prepense . The Council oi the Uni « n have long since signed their owa death-warrant ; and well it becomes you to sound their funeral knell ; but the moral turpitude thatprompted you to prognosticate the fate of the Convention , affords a still " farther manifestation of the malignant spirit that would blast the hopes of the suffering inillious whose confidence is unshaken , and who are resolved to maintain that body , or perish with , them , in the cause oi suffering humanity . The intelligent working classes are no longer to be cajoled by such men as you ; measures , nut men , shall henceforth be their met to ; and shiuld any of those whoiu the men of Birmingham have lately chosen desert their cause , and treacherously forsake them in the hour of pecessitr , as you and your clique have done , then shall they be hurled into osscarity with contempt , and have nothing to expect but the execration uf every honest patriot .

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM SHIP , LIVERPOOL—LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM THE UNITED STATES , CANADA , PERU BUENOS AY 3 ES , MEXICO , &c . The steam ship , Liverpool , Lieutenant Fayrer , R . N ., arrived at this port , on Monday , after a beautiful passage of fourteen days and ten hours from New York , whence she sailed on the afternoon of the 18 th ult . Sh « brought eighty-six cabin passengers , the whole ember for which ehe had aecommedation , having refused many who oS ' ered . Among the passengers were the Hon . Daniel "Wabgter , the celebrated American Senator , and his lady ; Mr . John Moss , charged with duspatehe * from the Government at Washington to the
American Ambassador , at the Court of St . James ' s ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Townsend , acd Lieutenant-Golftael Head , bearers ef despatches from the Canadian Governors for the British Government . The £ icerpoo { . rs 3 , chedNew York , on the afternoon of the f th xilt .- j after a fine ran of a little under seventeen days from Liverpool . Both on the outward and homeward passage , the ship fell in with fields of floating ice , which retarded her progress , We need scarcely add , afcer so successful a voyage as the . Liverpool has made , that the passengers were delighted witb the performances of the sni p , and loud in their praises of the nautical skill of her gallant commander . Eighty-four of the passengers , on their arrival at New York , presented Lieutenant Fayrer with a complimentary letter .
STATE OF TRADE—EXPORT OF MANUFACTURED GOODS .
In tbe United States the condition of trade and commerce was healtby . Though there was not any extraordinary activity at New York , there was rvery promise of business being extensive and profitable . The Recounts taken out by the Liverpool had caused a flatness in the cotton market , and prices had declined . Tbe rate of exchange for the steamer closed firm at 9 £ per ceut . premium on England , and St . 15 c . on 1 ' rance . A large amount of British Government Bill * , at thirty daya' sight , were taken , two days before , at 9 ^ per cent , premium . The shares in the United States Bank
were quoted , on the 17 th ult ., at 117 ^ , and , on the 18 : h } at 118 . The export of British manufactures from Liverpool to tbe ports of the United States wonld seem to be brisk , judging from the cargoes of the ships for New York . The Iridependence , ths packet of the 25 : h ult ., was quite full ; and the Virginian , tbe packet of the 1 st instant , refused goods . The Carroll , of Carolton , and the Trey , transient ships , are crammed full , having shut out merchandise . The first Baltimore spring ship , tbe London , will carry" eut about 1400 tons measurement goods . Even the Philadelphia packet of the 8 th has more goods awaiting for shipment than she can take .
DKEADFUL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT . An awful steam-boat accident occurred above Nbw Orleans on the 6 th ulc . The George Collier , ¦ when within one hnDdred miles of Natchez , exploded , by whicb twenty-five persons were « calded to death , and nineteen others severely injured . The piston-rod , it appears , gave way , treating tbe forward cjlinder head , and carrying away part of the beiler stand . LOWBB CANADA—NUMBER OF TRIALS , EXECUTIOKS , &C .
From Lower Canada vre learn , that tbe Court Martial , which had sat during five months and a half , had closed its session . The last prisoner tried and found guilty was a man named Mott . The number of prisoners tried had amounted to 110 , of whom twelve hai been executed , and nine aequittsd . The remainder were in gaol under sentence of death . The Montreal Herald , of the 8 : h ult ., aajg , so abundant had , last year ' s harvest been , that , notr withstanding the greatly increased cossumption of grain ia consequence of tbe presence of so many additional troops , the qnaBtity of flour which would be snipped from tbe Upper Province for Montreal would be far greater than any former year , and that a considerable portion of it would be exported to Great Britain . Seven of the eight American prisoners taken at Amhertsburg , in January , 1838 ,
and who had been imprisoned , in the Citadel of Quebec , for the last sixteen months , had been get at liberty nn the boundary line , at St . Regis , by Mr . Sheriff M'Marrin , of the Eastern District , U . C . Mr . H . W . Tucker , of HsgaBsburgb , Franklin cosnty , attended to receive them . On delivering them over to that gentleman , the sheriff made to them a short address , pointing out the enormity of their offence agaiast bstb law aed right , and signalizing / the clemency which had been shown them by the British and Canadian Governments . The notorious General Sutherland web of the party on the jeurney from Quebec to Cornwall , but it wae discovered at the latter place , that his name wax Hot in the orfer for ¦ liberation—probably an accidental omission—and he was therefore detained until further notiee .
IMPORTANT FROM PERU—TOTAL DEFEAT OF THE BOLIVIAN AKJ 1 Y .. The news from Peru is important . The Peru-Bolivian army , under the command of the Protector General Santa Crnz , had been totally defeated by the invading army of Chili . The loss of the ranqai ? ned is reported to have been 3 , 400 prisoners , 2 , 600 killed and wounded , the whole park of artillery , the commissariat , with more than 90 , 000 dollars , the equipages , horses , &c . Generals Moran and Urdinicex were killed ; and Generals
Herrera , Quires , Bermudes , Otero , and Armara were prisoners , the last mortally wounded . Santa Crnz escaped with twenty men in the direction of Janin . Tbe Chilians expected to take both Lima and Caliao . The castle of tbe latter place was said to be in the possession of General Santa Cruz , who had there a garrison of 1 , 500 men , well provisioned for five or six months .

AFFAIRS OF THE EAST . ( From ihe Times ef Monday . ) Tbe continued abseace of news from the East was beginning to revive the fears suggested by the first announcement of the movement of the Turkish army in Syria , and to create much anxiety for the next arrivals ; but the letters and journals received in Paris on Saturday only repeated the information already known , being in fact derived from the verj same sources . . The Turkish Ambassador in Paris continued to
express his utttr disbelief that the movement bad any other object than a mere change of quarters , induced by the exhausted state of the country . The French Government had not , however , relaxed any of the measures issued . ' " . . ' . . The two aides-de-camp of Marshal Sdultj ( Captains Fiilz and Calliez ) who left Paris earl y in the last week on missions for the East , would in any event proceed , and the naval preparations ordered in Toulon , Brest , and Cherbourg , were still going on .
" Tbe affair would , " it was expected in Paris , " have one important result at least—a serious aud determined demand of the great powers for the definitive settlement of the question between the Sultan and Viceroy , and which would , even in tbe most pacific view of it , require to be backed by a very powerful demon stration .
