TO CORRESPONDENTS. We have inserted in another column a letter on the same subject as that forwarded by " An English Brother." " A Churchman" wishes us to obtain, if possil:le, the publica tion of the sermon preached on Tuesday last by the Rev. Dr. M`Neile. We have heard a similar wish expressed by many others; and should be glad to see that discourse, as well as the one delivere by Archdeacon Brooks on the same occasion, presented to the public in a permanent form. ebt Eiberpool 'tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 16, 1849. Mr. DISRAELI, it seems, has been misunderstood in his proposed measures for relieving the agricul turists of the country; but he is still, we think, as far at sea as ever with respect to the achievement of one of the great objects at which he aims. He does not contemplate the formation of a sinking fund, by an increase, or an equalization of the Land Tax ; but by an ad valorem Tax upon imported foreign commodities. Five millions, he says, can be raised annually in this way for the gradual liquidation of the National Debt, the effect of which he thus describes : " There must, if there be a bona fide sinking fund — there must result a gradual but a certain, and every year a diminishing amount of burdens on the country. It wit, not be the commercial section of the country, or even, perhaps, some one commercial house, that will gain the advantage of this measure; but every class in the com munity will, by the action of the sinking fund, obtain re lief. The next effect it will have is on the price of capital—the interest of money—a subject of great im portance to the industrial classes. Now these advantages you will obtain ; you will have capital abundant—you will have every class feeling their burdens diminished." A very little consideration would suffice to show that the honourable gentleman is labouring under a complete misapprehension of the laws, which regulate the price of money. Undoubtedly, one effect of the establishment of a sinking fund, and the prospect, by its means, of a gradual decrease of the pressure of the, public debt, would be to give confidence to investors in the national securities, which would rise in price, thus returning a propor tionately decreased interest. But how it is to increase the amount of capital in the country we have yet to learn. Mr. Disraeli, however, when he speaks of capital, obviously means money; and it is equally difficult to see how a tax of five millions a year, to be paid by the people, can increase their money; and, by making it abundant, decrease the rate of interest paid for its use. Examine what would be the operation. The Custom Houses throughout the kingdom would collect from the consuming classes five millions per annum addi tional, and the government broker would duly pur- chase and cancel five millions of consols or other stock ; but obviously there would not be a single pound more of money as the result of the trans action. It is perfectly true that the parties from whom such stock was purchased would be driven to look round them for other investments. 'We should probably witness a temporary rise in the market value of railway and other property. Possibly investments might be sought in foreign stocks pav ing a higher rate of interest than British securwes- But the five millions in money would at once find its way into the channels, from which it had been temporarily withdrawn. It is nib unlikely, more over, that, were the effect o f Mr. Disraeli's project to be an improvement the condition of the indus trial and comm e mlal classes of the country, the rate of intnrcst might be increased, rather than diminished, by the operation. When the commerce and industry of a country are remunerative, the possession of money is eagerly bid for. When they are in a contrary condition, production is arrested ; the money of the country finds its way into the hands of bankers and capitalists, and seeks investment—only temporary in most cases—at low rates. We perfectly agree with the honourable member as to the advantage which would accrue to the agricultural classes by their being enabled to bestow additional capital upon improvements in the culti vation of the soil, such capital consisting of labour, materials, manure, &c., producinginreturn increased crops of food ; and it would be most desirable that they should be provided with a cheap and regular supply of money to procure or create such capital. This, however, cannot he obtained by the measure recommended by Mr. Disraeli, or by any other means, save a thorough reform of our present monetary system, which gives at all times to the commercial classes, who require accommodation for short periods only, and can readily realize for the purpose of repayment, an important advantage in the money market over those classes who require it for long periods. At the present moment it would be difficult for any landowner to borrow at less than 4 per cent., yet first class commercial bills are readily discounted at 2' per cent. With a currency not subject to continual fluctuations, and the rate of interest fixed, instead of oscillating within a few months from 2 to 10 per cent., we should find loans upon good landed security as readily procur able, and at about the same rates, as for commer cial purposes. DURING the proceedings at the North and South Toxteth ward meeting, last Monday night, it appears that Mr. William Horsfall was nomi nated, not only, we believe, without his sanction, but even without his knowledge ; whereupon Mr. Jeffreys, who appears not to have forgotten the defeat of the Confederation's candidate in Exchange Ward, is represented by the Times to have said, "If the burgesses elected another Horsfall to the Council, after the conduct of the brothers who were members of tl Council, they would do a blindfold act indeed." He then referred to the conduct of the late Mayor on the water question, and charged him with going to Manchester, during his Mayoralty, to solicit the aid of the Corporation of that borough to prevent the docks being rated. Mr. Horsfall and his brother can well afford to pass unnoticed such uncalled-for misrepresentation. The late Mayor, whose services we have not for gotten if Mr. Jeffreys has, received and well deserved the encomiums, not only of the whole community, but of her Majesty's government, under circumstances more trying than those which ever fell to the lot of any former Mayor. THE "final instructions" of the Postmaster- General. relating to the new Sunday arrangements, have just been issued ; and appear to us of a nature most offensive to the religious feelings of the country, whilst the object to be attained by them is very insignificant, when compared with the in creased labour which it will impose upon the Post office oficials, especially those in the provincial towns. The following is the document in question : " On and from Saturday, the 27th instant, a Lon don bag must be made up in every provincial post-office, and which is only to contain letters which pass through London for places beyond it, and the postage on which has been prepaid by stamps. Newspapers, books, parlia mentary proceedings, and all kinds of documents which pass through the post for less than letter postage rates will be detained in the provincial post-offices until the London bag is despatched on Sunday. Foreign and colo nial letters, whether prepaid by money or sent unpaid, as well as letters for the government offices, will be forwarded in the Saturday night London bag. On and from Sunday evening next a bag will be made up in London for every provincial post town. A measure is in contemplation for the relief of rural post-office messengers, which is to let them return home within an hour or so after they have delivered all their letters on Sunday morning, instead of compelling them to remain at the extreme end of their deliveries on Saturday night ; so that they may be enabled to attend to their religious duties in company with their families during the principal portion of Sunday:" Let us see what the extent of the change will be. The leading object aimed at—the pretext for increased Sunday labour at the General Post-office is the forwarding on Sunday of letters passing through London for places beyond it, which would otherwise be detained a day in their route. And to effect this trivial convenience, which the public have generally been enabled to effect for themselves, by the selection of another day than Saturday for such correspondence, we have, in the first place, an increase of Sunday labour at the head establish ment, and, in the next, a certain and fearful increase of such labour in every provincial office. The Saturday's London bag being restricted to the letters referred to, there will devolve on the clerks in provincial offices, on Sunday, a two days' sorting and London despatch. But government have engrafted upon this pretext, not a London delivery certainly—that has no doubt to follow—but a London despatch for every provincial town. The business of all the metropolitan receiving hours will be carried on in full vigour throughout the Sabbath ; and the attendance of the whole staff of sorters and the under clerks of the office will be required. Another consideration, too, is worthy of notice, viz., the encouragement given by the pro posed Sabbath despatch to Sunday letter writing, which has hitherto been less practised in the metro polis than in any large town in the kingdom. We are utterly at a loss to know what pretext can be urged for this change. It is certainly not called for on business grounds, unless the mercantile commu nity of the metropolis can be supposed to entertain a wish to devote that day, on which all other em ployments are suspended, to the purpose of correspondence with their customers and friends in the provinces. Has any step been yet taken in this town to make the government acquainted with the strong feeling which exists here against the pro posed alterations ? We have not heard of any. Manchester and other places have already raised their voices, and Liverpool influence should not be lost, especially as we have now another fortnight to move in, the contemplated changes having been postponed for a fortnight. WE have given, in another part of our paper, a verbatim copy of two letters, addressed to us in reply to some observations which we made last week upon the conduct of the " National Confederation." in their endeavours to influence the result of our Municipal Elections. Had we only been favoured with one of these—the very temperate letter of Mr. Callis—we should probably have inserted it without comment, as conveying to impartial readers an admission of the correctness of nearly all our charges against the body. The letter of Mr. "J. M. Macdonald, secretary," is, however, written in a very different tone : and not only compels us to bestow a few remarks upon it, but tempts us to make use of Mr. Callis's communication to rebut some of its flippant assertions. We referred, in the remarks which have called forth these communications, to the interference of the Confederation, as a body, in dictating to the Ward Constituencies ; and stated, on information given to us, on most respectable authority, that " the printed circular, calling the meeting, at which Mr. Johnson was selected as a candidate, was dated from the Central Rooms, and signed by the secretary of the body." To this Mr. Macdo nald replies—" Do me the 'favour to state in your next number that there is "not a word of truth in the history of the circular as given. It was not dated from the Central Rooms, nor was it signed by the secretary of the Confederation." Since making the statement, thus commented upon, we have had furnished to us a copy of one of the circulars in question, which we presume is a fair specimen of the whole, and feel bound to correct our statements, and admit that it is not signed by Mr. Macdonald, nor dated from the Central Rooms. But we certainly never saw a document, in which much greater pains was taken to impart to it the influence of the central body. We give it here verbatim et literatirn : " NATIONAL CONFEDERATION. " EXC S HAGE WARD " Sir,—You are ',quested to attend a MEETING of the CoMMrrrEE of this Ward, to be held at Mr. BAIRSTOW'S, Bull Hot'-2, Dale-street, on Wednesday next, the 3rd instant, at half-past Seven o'clock, P.M. precisely.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " JOHN TOWNSHEND, Secretary. " Liverpool, Oct. 1,1849. " BUSINESS. " To select a fit and proper Person to represent this Ward in the Town Council." What would any man infer from reading such a document, with " National Confederation" at its head, in imposing type, and dated from " Liverpool" in general, and no where else in particular; but that it emanated from that Confederation, of which the Ward Committee, holding its sittings at no place in particular, were the working hands. Mr. Macdonald may rest satisfied that the public see very well through all this attempted mystification of pretended Ward Committees aping the style of the Head Body, and the Head Body disowning the Ward Committees, whenever it is convenient to do so. Mr. Macdonald continues : " Permit me further to add, that all your assertions in the same article, with reference to the Confederation, are equally without foundation, and to suggest that it is due to that body to disabuse the public mind of the impression which such misstatements are calculated to make." Now one of the statements, thus said to be with out foundation, related to the conduct of the Confederation, or the Confederation's "Ward Corn mittee"—if that style please the gentlemen better— in St. Peter's, in selecting Mr. Richard Harbord as candidate, at a meeting convened according to rule, and afterwards overruling the selection in favour of a candidate of opposite political opinions. Does Mr. Macdonald deny this ? We give him the version of the story furnished us in the letter of Mr. Callis " With respect to St. Peter's Ward, I was present at the meeting which carried Mr. Harbord, and was not summoned again till Mr. Fernihough had been brought out. I hare expressed my str ng indignation on the con duct of one or two men who caused the mischief, but it was not the Confederation Committee, neither must you blame the Reformers as a body, for some of them have expressed themselves as strongly as I did, and the nomi nation of Mr. Harbord was seconded by one of the oldest Reformers in the ward, whose name I hand you privately. Having seen Dr. Harbord, who stated his brother was coming out for the Park, and who advised me not to disturb the peace of the ward through the conduct of one or two men, I did express myself satisfied with Mr. Fermi hough, after having heard his address. At the same time, my opinion of the conduct of the parties is the same." Notwithstanding a little special pleading, our statement is thus evidently admitted. Mr. Macdonald continues : "There is not a man connected with the confederation but could have informed you that the confederation in no way interferes in the choice of candidates, and that the ' party bias' of which you speak has really no existence but in the minds of those who arc at a loss for a better point of abuse." Well, but we have shown, and Mr. Callis, a member of the confederation, has admitted, that party bias has been used by one of their ward coin mittees—we say theirs advisedly, for how are these subsidiary bodies formed ? Mr. Callis again shall speak for us : "It is the duty of the Council to see that there is a branch committee formed in every ward ; that having been done it is left to manage its own business. Every ward has its members on the central board, and they would not allow the central body to dictate, even if such was attempted, which to my knowledge has never yet been done. The ward committees are, or should be, composed of an equal number of Conservatives and Re formers; and if such a committee should select a candi date, and that candidate receives the support of the Con federation, it ought not—it cannot be called dictation." The Confederation, then, forms the "ward com mittees," who have to do the work; and in the performance of that work they have the support of the head body. This is surely interference direct enough, if it is not actually " dictation." Mr. Cal lis, by the bye, does not seem quite certain as to whether they are impartially selected. They only "are, or ought to be !" A word, by the way, to Mr. Callis himself. He asks, in his letter : " Does not the Constitutional Society support its own friends, and are there not branch committees in several wards ; and is it not reasonable to suppose that its influ ence was at work in favour of Mr. Horsfall ?" Of course, the members of the society do, as I individuals. They issue, however, no such circu lars as we have given above. They give no aid, as a body, to any of the wards. Each ward is self acting and self-supporting. No ward councillors are appointed by the association. All that the association does is to supply information as to du plicate votes, and to facilitate the making of returns made on the day of polling. What it is "reasonable to suppose," we do not know. What is actually done, we do know; and it would be well for the Confederation to follow the example. We are content here to leave the question for the decision of the community, merely recommending to the secretary of the confederation to use a somewhat more modest tone towards those oppos e d to him. That gentleman might have satisfied him self within the past few weeks, that the body which he represents is not composed of the most impreg nable materials. The public, at all events, are very much of the opinion that it is held together only by the popularity of a few of the local objects which it proposes to have in view, whilst it abuses its powers and prestige to advo cate national pro jects of a very dangerous character. Like Mr. Callis, who " has not identified himself with the national part" of its projects, we believe that the majority of its members would leave it to fall in pieces by its own weight, if compelled to regard themselves as pledged to the absurd views of its prize essayist—views, of which, in the course of considerable opportunities of observing the opi nions of the public, as reflected by the press of the country, we are not aware of having met with a single influential supporter. WE have more than once ventured to express our opinion that Mr. Richard Cobden is a man who is great upon one subject only. Take his views upon any other matter than Free-trade, and we find him disappointing all the expectations of his friends, and miserably forfeiting the prestige of his political renown. His whole career since 1846 has been a succession of failures ; of abortive efforts to get up a new agitation, and to be original in his political projects. His peace prophecies were worthy only of an uppish schoolboy. They were falsified before the ink which recorded them was dry. His financial projects betrayed equal weak ness. We all remember his assertion, that Russia would not he able to raise and maintain an army in the field; that she was insolvent, and the weak est power in Europe. Yet the Czar a few weeks afterwards trampled the victorious hosts of Hungary beneath his feet. He is now embarked -in an agi tation against the effort making by Austria to raise a loan amongst the capitalists of Europe ; and he will fail in this as in all his recent attempts. We are not advocates either of that Government's proceedings towards the Hungarians, or of the policy of embarking British or European capital in Austrian, or any other foreign loans. It is sheer folly, however, and what is worse, hypocrisy for this nation to affect the character of purists, where mo netary operations are concerned. Wherever tempt ing terms are offered, and for whatever purpose money is wanted, it will find its way. V 4 e have, for example, been for years denouncing the sin of the slave trade, yet we do not object to supply the funds by which it is carried on. We make the goods, which the Brazilian slaver barters for human flesh. We eat the sugar which is wrung from the labour of the deported African. We make, and derive a profit from, the gyves which bind his limbs, and the lash which galls his shoulders. Our ultra humane will retire from the platform, where he has been the loudest in decrying bloodshed, or manstealing, to make an invoice of tomahawks and bowie knives. The Sheffield article is to be found in the hands of savages in every quarter of the globe; the Birmingham musket in the ranks of every contending host; yet we have never heard that either the Sheffield or the Birmingham manu facturer sleeps any the less sound, or imagines that he has any murder upon his soul. Lord Dudley Stuart, a coagitator with Mr. Cobden in this matter, remarked at the meeting on Monday : " The cruelties with which the Jews had recently been treated in Hungary were notorious throughout the world. Now, it was supposed that the money-lenders in Europe chiefly belonged to the Jewish persuasion ; and would it not be infamous if men of that race were to give to Austria the means of continuing their persecution of their co-reli gionists ? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The last time he had addressed a public meeting in that hall it was on be half of the liberties of Hungary; and on that occasion the chair was filled by a liberal and distinguished ornament of the Jewish race—David Solomons. The city in which he now spoke was represented in ParliamentbyaJew. (Hear.) He rejoiced at these circumstances, indicative, on the part of the people, of a determination to carry out to the fullest extent the principles of religious liberty (cheers); but he must say, that if Jewish capitalists now lent their aid to Austia, infamy would be, and ought to be, their doom. (Cheers.) Could it be said that they would dO so merely in the way of business, and that anything in the way of business was allowable ? What was that but to declare that the first and only thing worth considering was money, and that to get money they might do any thing ? Was that morality ? (Cries of I No, no.') Was it religion ? (` No.') Was any man at liberty to sell poison, without ascertaining whether it was required for legitimate purposes or for assassination, merely that he might make money ? Could any Englishman now invest his money in a slave-trading speculation without being exposed to the reprobation of his countrymen ?" Where has Lord Dudley Stuart been during the last few years to imagine that such scruples as he points at will prevail with the present generation ? True, the money lenders of Europe chiefly belong to the Jewish persuasion ; but what money-lender, Jew or Christian, thinks of anything besides the interest and security for his loan ? Infamy may be the doom of such men ; but profit will bring down the scale against any such consideration. What, said his Lordship, was advancing money to such a nation as Austria, but "to declare that the first and only thing worth consideration was money, and that to get money they might do anything." We have declared this long ago. The principle per vades all our recent legislation. We already provide the materials and the instruments of war and assassination—of civilized slaughter and savage butchery—for profit. We provide the means and encourage the results of " slave-trading specula tions," yet consider eitirQelvea still the pattern Christian nation of the world. But to return to Mr. Cobben : the principal ground of his appeal we find to be the alleged want of security offered by Austria for this loan. Mr. Cobden says, that Austria has, on three occasions, been guilty of something like repudiation ; and prophecies that the parties who contract for the loan will not do so with the slightest intention of a permanent investment. They will, in fact, shuffle their stock upon the shoulders of green people, who know as much of the affairs of Austria as of the solvency of the man in the moon. When we ask was it otherwise with a foreign loan? The Stock Ex change people—the Jews of Lombard-street---have done the same thin° from time immemorial; and all the Cobdens will not prevent them doing the same thing again. Money would be invested, by both Jews and Christians, in anything that pro mised a gambling issue. We would suggest to Mr. Cobden a much better direction in which to exercise his talent for agita tion. Let him, instead of of railing. against Russia and Austria, direct public attention to the causes, by which, periodically, these and other countries are enabled to drain Great Britain of her accumu lations, whilst her own industry is thrown into a state of prostration andsuffering. At this moment we have in our realm a population of some four millions of paupers, some confirmed in their habits, but the majority willing to work. We have food of every description unprecedentedly cheap ; and yet millions who cannot procure a meal We have markets glutted with manufactures, and yet thou sands unable to procure clothing. We have money seeking employment at from 2 to 23 per cent., and yet thousands complaining of its scarcity. We have a population willing to dig, to build, to weave, to mine, and to produce, and anxious to be enabled to consume; and yet the capital, which ought to enable this population to produce and to be come consumers, leaving the country seek em ployment in other lands—to enrich our rivals, and to promote objects which we regard as detestable. Let Mr. Cobden get rid of the cause of the present unnatural cheapness of capital. in this country, and we shall neither have to complain of suffering at home, nor to agitate in order to prevent capital leaving our shores. THE confidence of the public in the soundness of Railway Investments has again given way;. and prices of almost all stocks have further receded. This result, however, is not attributable to any fresh revelations of the misconduct, or the mismanage ment, o: Boards of Directors, so much as to the publication of the weekly accounts shewing, in the case of almost every line, decreased receipts_ from . their traffic. With respect to some lines this decrease is startling in extent. Thus the Great Western receipts for the past week were only £15,864, against £20,983 in the corresponding week of 1848 ; the York and North Midland has fallen off from f 9,584 to £6,521 ; the Eastern Counties from £16,428 to £14,906, notwithstanding 27 miles of line have been added. The London and North Western, with 42 miles of new line opened, has fallen from £42,848 to £40,018 ; and the York, Newcastle, and Berwick from £13,860 to £12,996, with 21 miles of line added. We take the figures from the weekly statement of the Times, of Saturday. It is worthy of enquiry, however, whether the mere fact of this decrease is sufficient to warrant the somewhat gloomy views entertained with re spect to this description of property. In some instances such enquiry would probably elicit the existence of special reasons for the decrease in a particular week. With respect to the Great West ern for example, we can scarcely conceive that a decline of 25 per cent. in the week's traffic of 1849 is a fair index of the average decline of the year. Some special reason must have caused this great discrepancy. The average decline on the York and North Midland cannot amount to thirty per cent., as shewn in the weekly returns, for the Midland would surely in that case have been some what similarly affected ; and the return only shews a decline of £5OO in a traffic of £24,656 per week. With respect to the London and North Western Company, we can readily account for the decrease exhibited, of £2,830 in the week, by the fact of the recent considerable reduction in the rates of the merchandise traffic, and the severe competition to which the Company have been exposed from the opening of the East Lancashire and Lancashire and Yorkshire Companies, and the Canals. Taking , these circumstances into consideration, it is THE LIVERPOOL itAND-Aitb. possible not to be struck with the apparent elasticity of the resources possessed by this great concern. It must be borne in mind too that the whole community has of late been suffering from the visitation of a dreadful scourge, which has de pressed the public mind, and checked all locomo motion for the purpose of amusement, or which had not important business for its object. The usual visits of the season have been, to a consider able extent, remitted. The commercial energies of the country too have not been in a state of great activity. These facts may reasonably be supposed to have exercised some influence in lessening the amount of receipts; and hence we cannot sympa thize in the extravagant alarms which appear to have influenced the market. Could we discover any intimation of a permanent decrease of Railway traffic generally, or of a permanent diversion of its traffic from any particular line, we should at once admit that a diminution in the value of shares must take place. But there is no evidence of the kind before us. The railway system is increasing in favor in the minds of the British public; it is daily developing new sources of traffic and new spheres of usefulness and convenience ; and even in cases where competition has been produced, appearances are at present in favour of the effect of such competition being only temporary, and shew that added streams of traffic are continually pouring to fill up those diverted by rival lines. Two most important cousiderations ought to be weighed by holders of Railway Stock, before sub mitting to sacrifice their property during a period of, we think, exaggerated alarm. In the first place, we have not as yet arrived at the minimum ex penditure in railway management. In the next place, we have not yet availed ourselves of half the sources, from which railway revenue is drawn. The vast nominal wealth, through which many of our lines run, is as yet scarcely touched. We have fields of coal, iron, stone, and other valuable pro ducts, yet unopened. We have not at present half experienced the benefits to be derived from the use of the rail by the agriculture of the country, although we have evidences of those benefits in• creasing daily before our eyes. As we proceed towards the realization of all these prospective additions to our railway traffic, it is by no means certain that we shall not find, instead of our present railways being unprofitable as investments, and in excess of our wants, that fresh lines and increased facilities will be required by the country.

We re"ret to announce that intelligence has been received of the deatfi or tne Lora istsnop or manaan, wmcn event WOK place on Sunday afternoon, at his episcopal residence in South Wales. By the death of the Bishop of Llandaff,.the deanery of St. Paul's, as well as the episcopal see, becomes vacant. By a recent arrangement the stipend of the new bishop will be raised to £4,000 per annum, and will be dissociated from the deanery of St. Paul's, with which it had up to the present time been held, The Bishop of Llandaff had passed his 70th year, and until the last few weeks had been in the enjoyment of excellent health. LONDON MONEY MARKET.—YESTERDAY. Prices in the English stock market have improved since the commencement of business this morning. Consols opened at 921 to if, both for money and next Wednesday, and are Low quoted 92i to 1; the last transactions were done at f. The Three per Cent. Reduced have been dealt in at so and 911; the Three-and•a-Quarter per Cents. at 92i and 1, Bank stock at 1971 and 19G1. Exchequer Bills have further advanced, marking this morning 435. and 465. premium. LONDON SHARE MARKET.-YESTERDAY. The share market is again heavy to-day, and most shares have experienced a further decline. Great lesterns and Mid lands are particularly heavy; the former were last done at 51, and the latter at 45i. The following are also lower : York and Narth:Midlands, at 204 ; North &affords, at 8i; Great North-. erns, at 7. London and North Westerns mark 109; and Lon don and South Westerns, 32. LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY. The supply of English Wheat by land-carriage samples from the near counties was small; the best runs were speedily taken by the millers at an advance of 2s. per qr., and the secondary qualities at Is. improvement upon the quotations of this day se'nnight. Foreign Wheat waain limited request, at Is. per qr. above the prices of last week. Fine Barley being scarce brought rather more money, whilst other sorts fully maintained their previous value. Choice old Oats are wanted, and command full prices; but other descriptions were a dull sale at the rates of. Monday last. New English Beans scarce, and Is. dearer. Peas plentiful, and easier to purchase. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY. A few choice Scots are said to make 45.., but in so few in stances that we cannot quote so high. The number of Sheep is also larger, and for the above reason fewer wanted. There is a reduction of fully 2d. per Blbs. on all qualities. Trade con tinues very dull for Calves, and prices are still very low. Pigs. sell slowly, at lower rates. TATTERSALL'S.—LAST NIGHT.

OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—A person of respect able appearance, named Lloyd, was charged before Mr. Rushton, with having embezzled several sums of money received from various parties since June last, and which he had not accounted for. Mr. Lindley, brewer, said he had employed the prisoner for nearly the last twelve months, as a collector and solicitor ; and that he had given him. a salary of £3 per week up to a month ago, when a reduction to 50s. was made in that amount. He added that the prisoner had received £lO from a party in August, and had given no account of it ; also a sum of £5 from a Mrs. Carr, on the 25th of June ; and a further sum of £3 125., on the 19th of the same month, from a Mr. George Hunter. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Pemberton, solicitor, who elicited evidence to the effect that prisoner had a right to pay himself out of moneys collected ; that he (Mr. Lindley) owed him £lO when he left his employ on Saturday fortnight, but that he had collected £3 12s. since that time. In the absence , of some witnesses, the case was not very clearly substan tiated, and the prisoner was remanded until this day. EXTENSIVESMUGGLING — A respectably dressed female, named Jane Gerson, in apparently delicate health, was charged with being in company, on the g reat landing stage, with three or four men, who were carrying a ham per and a trunk, of which she appeared to be in charge. In reply to a question, put by a police-officer, she said that they contained books; but, on being opened, they were found to be filled with Cavendish tobacco, weighing in a 11291 lbs. The lady carried a carpet-bag, in which there was nothing contraband. She stated, when appre hended, that it was a shame to entrust her with such packages. The men made their escape. As the prisoner was poorly, Mr. Rushton ordered that she should have medical attendance, and remanded her for further evi dence. THEFT OF COFFER FROM A SHIP,—Two men, Thomas Murphy and John Hart, were charged with stealing three ingots of copper from the brig Reindeer, now in the King's Dock. The metal was part of 1,480 pieces shipped for export. The prisoners were committed for trial, and the magistrate complimented the mate of the vessel for his good conduct in detecting the principal offender, who had been employed on board the ship, FINAL DEPOSITING Off' THE FIRST GREAT TUBE OF THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE. (From our own reporter.) On Saturday forenoon last the first great tube, (or iron tunnel,)—out of four tubes between the towers, required for the double line of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, in crossing the Menai Straits—was safely hoisted to its final resting place, or level, without accident to life or limb—which is the more remarkable when the magnitude and height of the works, and the ponderous machinery employed, are taken into consideration. We furnished some particulars relative to this extraordinary bridge in our paper of the 26th of June last, and need here supply only a few statistics, as a reminiscence to such of our readers as may not have the opportunity of referring back. The bridge, or continuous tubes, when fully extended to its level, from the Carnarvon to the Anglesey side of the Straights, will be upwards of a quarter of a mile in length,—including those portions of the tubular work that overhang the sloping shore on each side, and these are built on strong frame-work of entire balks of timber. At each side the Straights there is a square tower, tapering towards the top, and in the middle of the stream stands the Britannia Tower, (the central support for the tubes,) rising to a height from low water mark of about 245 feet. The " abutments," if they may so be called, are 143 feet in height, on the Anglesey side, and 173 feet in length. The side towers, not quite so high as the central one, are 460 feet clear from the latter ; but the four tubes are about 12 feet more in length,—six feet being al lowed at each end for them to rest upon on beds forming the bottoms of six huge double doorways, or perforated arches near the top of the three towers, through which the double line of iron tunnelling will pass in two distinct and continuous tubes, for the " up " and " down " trains. Each tube weighs about 1800 tons, including some iron stiffening wrought into them at the ends, to prevent crush ing in hoisting ; and each tube contains about 327,000 rivets. The stone-work, including the abutments, com prises about 1,500,000 cubic feet, with, in some parts, an interior lining of red freestone. The immense tube just elevated, and which settles the question of practicability, was hoisted by two 40-horse power steam engines, one at the top of one tower, and one at the top of the other, and both acting on powerful hy draulic machines, which lift chains six feet in length of link, and attached to each bottom end of a tube. The same process will be pursued with the other three tubes. The tube raised is. at the bottom, 120 feet in height from 1)w water of spring tides, and, though unsupported in the middle, except by its intrinsic strength, it shows no deflection. As seen from the Menai chain bridge (a mile to the northward) it appears like a huge straight balk of wood, suspended in mid air between the towers. There are still about 500 men employed in the various depart ments of the works; and by the beginning of December the other continuous tube on the Carnarvanshire side will probably be in its place, so that therailway train may pass one way or the other, to and from Holyhead, without the necessity of employing omnibuses for passengers in crossing the straights by the Chain Bridge. The other tubes will be fixed in their positions early in next spring. The Britannia bridge is now an object of daily increas ing interest. The " hoisting" is conducted by Mr. Clarke and Mr. Amos,—Captain Claxton, R.N., who su perintends the floating off of the tubes, being also on the ground, rendering valuable assistance. CUSTOMS REVENUE OF THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL. The receipts at our Custom-House during the quarter ending the 10th instant, exhibit a falling off of about £53,346, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. On examination, however, it will be found that such decrease can be accounted for, without our having to confess any diminution of the regular trade of the port. The following is a statement, in round numbers, of the receipts of the two quarters : tea 1848. 1849. July £401,425 £317,235 August ...... . 274,650 304,847 September 340,115 340,762 £1,016,190 £962,844 Decrease in 1849 53,346 It will be observed from the above that an unusually large receipt occurred in July, 1848. This was caused by the bill, which passed in that month, admitting fortign slave-grown sugar, a large portion of which, then in stock, was at once brought into the market. We stated the additional amount thus received at the time to be about £116,000. Deducting such portion as might be presumed to have been held back until the passing of the bill, and bearing in mind that for months previously dealers had only been buying from hand to mouth—look ing, too, at the increase in the receipts during August and September —we have a right to congratulate ourselves upon an improving position. BANKRUPTCY COURT. IN RE WlLLlAms.—This bankrupt came up on Friday last, on his adjourned examination, on the following points :—An apparent deficiency of stock as compared with the amount debited ; preference to a particular cre ditor; the removal of certain furniture; and an alleged false return to the assignees of the amount of " good" debts due to the estate. Mr. Hill appeared for the bank rupt, and - rnortti,y fva ilac: upfsvolst6 creditor, Attr. Hill stated that the apparent deficiency of stock arose from losses which the bankrupt sustained by pilfering on the part of some of his servants; by loss sustained on a purchase of unsound cloth, and by loss in workmens' wages consequent upon the manufacture of this unsound' cloth ; that the bankrupt had been legally advised on a former occasion to give an undue preference to a particu lar party, (handing up the bill for that advice,) and believing that this advice was right and legal in the one instance, he had ignorantly acted upon it in the other. No doubt he was wrong, but then he had been misled. With reference to the removal of the furniture it was proved in evidence that the furniture was given as security for a debt which the bankrupt. had contracted with Mr. Edwards. With regard to the fourth and last objection, namely, that of the £1,494 returned as good debts, and that but a very inconsiderable moiety had been realized to the estate. he (Mr. Hill) had to state, that if greater diligence had been used on the part of the trade assignee, and his solicitor, nearly the whole of that sum might now have been collected for the benefit of the creditors. The clerk to the official assignee said, that a great num ber of the debtors to. the estate had been discovered through the vigilance of Mr. Williams himself, who had rendered them very efficient aid. The Commissioner said that he would adjourn the case till Monday, when he would give judgment. Yesterday, the case was again heard, when his Honour said that he should like to be informed whether the payment of £176 in promissory notes, which prima facie appeared to ae a preference to Mr. Pfice, was paid to him subsequent to the failure of the negotiations for a compromise with the creditors. The bankrupt said it was not, whilst Mr. Thornley asserted that it was. In reply, the bankrupt stated that these promissory notes were given about the 28th of March, and at the very time when Mr.. Thornley advised him to give preference to another creditor; and at the very time when Mr. Morris wanted payment in full from Mr. Price. Under these circumstances, the case was adjourned till the evidence of Mr. Price could be ob tained. THE FIRST CERTIFICATE UNDER THE NEW ACT. — Yesterday, Mr. R. Boucher, late boot and shoe maker, Whitechapel, appeared for his certificate, when His Ho nour observed to him, that it was his pleasing duty to compliment (as he had previously done) the bankrupt on the correctness of his balance sheet, and indeed the whole of his transactions so far as they had come before the court. It was one of the most satisfactory balance sheets which had been brought before him ; and, therefore, he could not but compliment the solicitor to the fiat (Mr. Godfrey) also. He felt pleasure in giving the bankrupt a first class certificate under the new act. The other cases were of no importance. We understand that the venerable the Chancellor of the Diocese has appointed the Rev. Dr. M`Neile a surro gate for granting marriage licenses, &c. We announced, a few weeks ago, that St. Paul's Church, Prince's Park, had been licensed for the solemnisation of marriages. We are glad to see that a strong feeling is now excited against Liverpool letters from Dublin being taken via Holyhead and Cheater_ The public have only to press on government their determined desira to have a direct post office communication between the two towns, and govern ment dare not long withhold it. MECHANICS' INSTITUTION : POPULAR LECTURES. — The lectures at this institution, which have been sus pended for a period of unusual length, are to be resumed to-morrow. We have no doubt the directors have done wisely in reducing the number of lectures, and weare satis fied they have done still more wisely in making aa range _ ments for a connected series of:lectures, carefully selected. In glancing at the last annual report of the institution, we find that there were delivered, within the period of a year, no fewer than eighty-nine lectures, and that these were divided into as many as twenty-one different courses, on subjects wholly unconnected with each other. If we look at the object which such lectures are intended to serve, we cannot but recognise in such an arrangement a great waste of effort. A STRANGE LovEn.--On Saturday, a rough-looking f e llow, who gave the name of John Kelly,. was charged with assaulting Catherine Leather. It turned out on inquiry that the prisoner paid his addresses to the com plainant, but the latter, discovering that lie had been twice married, cast him off and declined to have anything further to do with him. Matters had gone so far that the. banns had been published at church. The prisoner, be coming enraged at the manner in which he had been treated by his laxly, sought revenge, and for that purpose went to her house, where he kicked and ill-treated her in a most disgraceful manner. At one time he pursued her with a knife in his hand, but was prevented from doing any injury. Mr. Rushton said he would teach the pri soner to pursue a different course when he again paid his addresses to one of the fair sex, and ordered him to pay a penalty of £lO, or be imprisoned for a month. FURTHER CONSIGNMENT OF EAST INDIA COTTON. — Yesterday (Friday) morning, Mr. Hugh Fleming, secre tary to the Commercial Association, received a letter from Mr. J. Melvill, secretary to the Court of Diresitors of the East India Company, respecting a fresh consignment of cotton. Mr. Melvill in his letter states that he is com manded by the Court of Directors to inform Mr. Fleming that Mr. Wm. Rathbone has received the court's instruc tions to forward to him, for sale at Manchester, 663 whole, 22 half bales, and 1 bundle of cotton, the produce of the Brosch, Khandish, Surat, and Dhurwar, collect°. rates, consigned from Bombay in the ship George Buck ham. The Commercial Association is, as usual, requested to report upon the quality of the cotton, which, from in formation recently received, is expected to be of a very superior character. The cotton may be expected in Man chester to-day or Monday.—Mouchester Courier. Oct. 16, 1540.__, GENERAL TRAM REPORT. Monday Aftem s sios The question, " What was the prevailing imprre.
