We know not how this is to be effected. 'llse sales of naval stores to bolster up a defi cient revenue; the neglect of the naval department; and the state cif the dock yards, do not warrant the hope of any great despatch. Portsmouth is bare, and from thence we believe not more than one ship of the line and a frigate can be furnished. What Plymouth, Al ilford Haven, and Sheerness can do we know not ; but sure, we are, no wonders can be achieved there. The squadron so long and iniquitously expended in the Tagus and the Douro has exhausted the few resources which Sir James Graham has left us; and so we apprehend he will not be slow to reproach the Foreign Office about it.—Guardian and Public Ledger.

TRADESMEN AND COLLEGE STUDENTS.—The son of an Irish Duke whilst at Oxford ran up an account with a fruiterer; it was of about three years' growth. The debtor had not been remarkable for Isis public liberality or private expenditure, yet, when the young man's bills were taken into consideration, and c-thed in, the fruiterer appeared with one eleven hundred :sounds long. It was disputed, and ultimately submitted to the arbitration of four persons, of which I was one. It appeared that the collegian had, when at Oxford, during the terms asso -01 sted -with five or six other fellow-students, and it was their • custom to meet together at each other's rooms every day after dimmer, to take their wine and dessert, in regular rotation, so that it fell on each individual about once in every week. Occa , sionaliy tea or coffee would be had. When th'ey were at the ' r•ionts of the Duke's son, which, as said before, was about once a-Week, a small dessert was obtained from the fruiterer, as also tea add coffee in the evening for the party; and out of this practice, Ins+.hiie years (only during terms, be itreniembered) this trades ' , m . ..‘a had the modesty to snake out a bill for eleven hundred ' ist;4risch: ft ivs.l'firialty adjusted tor five hundred pounds.

BOOTH'S PAMPHLET ON FREE TRADE, AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE PEOPLE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST.4NDiIRD. Sta,—l resume the consideration of Mr. Booth's pamphlet. He proceeds to complain that we give _an undue preference to our woollen, cotton, and silk manufactures, and by protecting duties, prevent the introduction of foreign goods of similar de scriptions; he considers these regulations as the fruits of a "narrow policy," founded on "ideal apprehensions," and that were we to repeal them, the nations of the continent would not only supply us with innumerable articles of convenience and luxury, but that they would willingly take payment in such as are produced by our labour and ingenuity, which, he says, our peculiar advantages enable us to supply. I am not able to discover what are the descriptions of cotton and woollen goods to which Mr. Booth means to refer. That such duties continue to find a place in our book of rates is true; but can they be otherwise considered than as nominal, when it is well known that cotton and woollen goods of British manu facture, form nearly three-fourths of the whole value of our ex ports, and that both on acceunt of quality mull - nice, they meet' with a preference in every foreign market where competition is permitted? Is it not then "ideal" to assert, that if these duties were repealed, such articles of foreign manufacture would find a market here, and is it not a delusion to suppose it? That these duties remain in our tariff, unproductive of any benefit to either our trade or our revenue, may fairly be im puted to an oversight. As regards silks, there are still certain articles of French manufacture, which female taste, ever fond of novelty, prefers to those of home production; yet, even in such, it is not to:- frequently imposed upon by the substitution of British of simi lar appearance; and is it not also known that some descriptions of our silk goods, light handkerchiefs for instance, are sought for and smuggled into France, the direct importation being prohibited, and not admitted on countervailing duties, such as exist here ? At no inconsiderable sacrifice in our intimate connection with Portugal, we have set France the example of what is called a "liberal commercial policy," by the admission of her wines at the lowest duties, without any concession in re turn being as yet made on her part: if she sincerely desires to cultivate a reciprocal intercourse with us, (but which I must beg leave to doubt) let her invite us to repeal the duties on her manufactures, on the condition that she repeals those on ours; but, until then, let us not be taunted for protecting the industry of our operatives, and the beneficial application of our capital, in preference to encouraging the foreigner at the expense of both! Mr. Booth has told us that if we were to do so, certain articles of ingenuity and labour would be taken from us in pay ment ; but he at the same time keeps us in perfect ignorance of what he means to refer to; perhaps he may yet think proper to enlighten us by explanation. _ _ )4r,. *otli next advances , and advocates a principle in the most unconditional manner, which, wero it to be confided in, even by the e . reduieus, might be! prodictiye of the most LIVERPOOL TOWN DUES. ir.
