Dec, 18, 184,, TO GEORGE GREEN HORNBY, ESQ. m y attention was, this morning, called to your l, addreakassed in the Liverpool Times newspaper of Thursday rt , gddressed to Mr. Joseph Kitchen, relative to St. f"one i s Dispensary ; and, as the remarks therein are most u ngenerous to all concerned, I, as one of the committee, net bound to give you my opinion on the subject. By ',Tat ri g ht d o you assu me the name of " Liverpool X sri sPensaries" in perpetuity for the Northern and Southern e ? As well might the name of " The Liverp ocl Docks" beepplied alone to those completed before the Year 1800. As the town increases in population, so Nht the means of relieving the poor, without making t hempaupers to be multiplied; and, if properly manag ed, 'le Liverpool public will not be wanting with their aid . If tried by an impartial jury, I question whether those w itose interests you advocate have latterly a right to be Vied Liverpool Dispensaries at all—as, since the with fawal of the grant from the parish, they systematically ;lose medical advice or medicine to any par i s hi o ner of taverpool. You had better therefore, , propose that they 1 ) e called the " Strangers' Dispensaries. ' I find amongst the St. Anne's Dispensary recommendation-papers many Nom the Infirmary, iudorsed thus—" Reconimended to tne Dispensary from the Infirmary. Charles 11. Wilson." -111 the lvonse-surgeon's book are registered cases of at tendance on members of the police, to dress wounds, Many of them of a serious character, and to attend to !filth bo has often been called up in the night. bottnatise this dispensary as a " pet schem e," y ou ° mg forward the Rev. Fielding Ould's havi n g made a collection at Christ Church purposely for it ; so he did, a nd 5o likewise did the late Mayor get up the fancy fair and bazaar, the profits to be given in aid of the charities, 'and the Liverpool dispensaries got no part of the pro- Ceeds ; but the Rev. F. Ould, a few Sundays after the 'particular collection, in accordance with the wish of the venerable Archdeacon Brooks, made another collection, ytceetling, a little, the amount for the St. Anne's, which Was paid into the general fund from the amounts received on the thanksgiving day, and of which our treasurer has now received one-fifth leaving the Zion's share. I know ttot anything about the late Eastern Dispensary. I pre sume the committee will have to pay for what they ordered. I was, very much against my own inclinations, induced to take upon myself the duties of a committee-man of the dispensary, thetime I devote to it having to be teken from I lly family, or made up by early and late hours at my bu siness. This I know, that everything left at Rose-hill was valued bran appraiser, and theamount paid to the Chairman of the Eastern Dispensary. Thus far in your letters we merely disagree in opinion ; but I now come to a clause towards its close, which I hope, on mature consideration, Y,. 01 A will fechsorry that you ever penned. viz :—" The latter 'laving beers got up by a few individuals who have found themselves -better able to a f ford their time and trouble than -their money, the money having beenfound by the tr, d eupte who have executed their orders." Ask Messrs. T. Eyre and Co. (Seel-street), Reay and Robin son (Cirurch-street), Arrowsmith and Callaghan (plas terers) end Mr. Hogg (joiner and builder, Soho-street), Mr. Jarvis, Samuel Hulse, Abraham Woolfe (Richmond lowl, and any others, what money they have found, and then'tell me if you do not withdraw such a statement. For myself and those other members of the committee who have earnestly attended to the affairs of the institution since its 'commencement, I will only say that, during the altera tions and furnishing of the new institution, each of them `Presented unostentatiously whatever building materials :and spare furniture they had suitable for the purpose, with cartage, men's work, &c., amounting in value to a sbonsiderable sum ; and I believe i may say for all, that we never give a recommendation to one of our own men, not considering them eligible, being in the regular receipt of weekly wages, and most of them connected with benefit clubs, with regularly-appointed medical men. In conclusion, I would remark, that the Committee of the St. Anne's Dispensary hope that they will find no great difficulty in obtaining from the friends of the Insti tution the amount necessary for current exFenses, the firs heavy expenditure having now been provided for. I am, Sir, yours resctfully, EDWARD SMITH. Liverpool, 34, Comus-street, Dec. 8, 1849. LECTURES ON PHONOGRAPHY BY MESSRS. BENN AND HENRY PITMAN. On Thursday and Friday evenings of last week, two lectures were delivered by Messrs. Benn and Henry Pit- Man, in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, on the Phonetic system of writing, termed Phonography. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, the hall was filled on each evening long before the com mencement of the lecture by a most intelligent and re spectable audience, a fair proportion of the fair sex being Present. Previous to the commencement of the lecture, the attention of the audience was fixed upon a large chart containing the phonographic system, and many of the younger auditors were busily employed in taking s copy of the phonographic alphabet. Precisely at eight o'clock the chair was taken by HARMOOD BANNER, Esq., who said that, like those he had the pleasure of addressing, he had come as a listener, to learn something of phonography. The art of phono graphy, he believed, had in many places made considerable progress; but in Liverpool he thought it was compara tively a novelty. He hoped, however, that it would not long remain so, for it was a novelty of no insignificant im- Portance. The phonetic system would have the effect of entirely reforming the representation of our language—a reform of no less extent and importance than many of the political and scientific changes which Thhe ad marked the the age In which P lion_ (App lnsi) n introduced — Mr. BENN PITMAN, who commenced his ;lecture by observing that he stood before them to advocate the adop tion of the Phonetic principle to the written and printed representation of our language. He should, however, chiefly confine his explanations to Phonography, as the new system of Phonetic writing was termed. After afew introductory observations on the signs of progress which characterised the present age, Mr. Pitman proceeded to skew that no corresponding improvement had been offered in the means of representing language. The Roman alphabet, it was clearly shewn, was not adequate to the representation of the English language, there being only 26 letters to represent 40 sounds. Some striking incon sistencies in our present method of spelling were pointed out by the lecturer. For instance, the first letter of the Roman alphabet, A, was shewn to be the representative of -different sounds in each of the following words :—fate, fat, fall, father, any, want, &c. It was evident from this example that the Roman alphabet was inadequate to rep resent all the sounds of our language. The letter s was also instanced as containing different powers in the words so, his, sure, measure, and in the word isle no sound at all. -dome words, said Mr. Pitman, were spelled with certain letters and pronounced with others, as .cause, in which not a single letter was sounded. Many other illustrations of the absurdities of English orthography were given by the lecturer, some of them being of a very ludicrous description. .So far, however, from being a subject of amusement, said Mr. Pitman, it was a matter of serious reflection with thousands of thinking minds how they should remedy the evils which he had pointed out. He had found, by numerous experiments with the Phonetic alphabet, that children and adults could be taught to read the English language in one-twentieth of the time at present required. Mr. *Pitman then proceeded to speak of the desirable, ness of possessing some mode of communicating thought upon paper, with something of the ease and rapidity of speech. That such was •not ,the case with the present long-hand was shown by instancing the letter m, which though , tittered by a single effort of the vocal organs, yet seven deflections of the pen for its formation upon paper. Phonography possessed all the requirements requisite to form a perfect system of writing ; it being the briefest system of short-band ever invented, and as legible as common long-hand. With the assistance of a suitable writing material, and a large slate, Mr. Pitman explained in a very clear manner the various parts of the phonogra phic system, commencing with the vowel's sounds, and afterwards giving the consonants. He then wrote the alphabet•on the slate, and showed the method of joining the consonants together, and of forming words. Various examples were next written down by the lecturer, all of which were easily read off by the audience. This portion of the lecture proved particularly interesting, and was warmly applauded. Every one who had writing to per form, said Mr. Pitman, must desire to possess a system of short-hand that would enable them to write down thoughts as rapidly as they arose in the mind. Phonog raphy furnished such a method of writing; for, as would presently be shown, it might be written as rapidly as lan guage could be expressed. The astonishing spread of the phonetic system throughout the country, said Mr. Pit man, was some proof of the value of the art. In Man chester alone, he and his brother had lately instructed upwards 0f2,000 persons in the phonetic art. At the conclusion of the lecture Mr. Henry Pitman came forward and gave convincing proof .of the brevity and completeness of phonography, and of ,his dexterity in writing the art. Its applicability to verbatim reporting was tested by his writing passages read at a -rapid rate of utterance, and reading the same with ease and_correctness. Sentences in German and Welsh were also written by the Same gentleman, and with equal correctness. These ex- Periments were warmly applauded, roc a to afford the greatest pleasure to the audience. The lecture con cluded by a unanimous vote of thanks to the Messrs. Pit .man. The second and concluding lecture was delivered on the 'following evening, when John Smith, Esq., presided, and gave his unqualified approval of phonography and tpbono • tyry. The attendance was larger than on the previous evening, several hundred persons having to stand during thejecture. Mr. Pitman again explained phonography to his eudience, and went farther into the system, showing on NCiat a beautiful principle the double consonants were formed. We must say that we never heard a more plea sant or successful lecturer than Mr. Benn Pitman. On each evening his lecture was listened to with the deepest attention, only broken by the hearty applause of the vast assembly. We think the visit of the Messrs. Pitman to Liverpool most opportune, and hove no doubt the classes Which, they intend opening for instruction in phonography Will be numerously attended.

In several of the agricultural districts and large consuming towns of this country at the close of last week, the corn trade on the part of holders appeared rather more steadfast •, in a few solitary cases, however, Wheat alone realized a slight im provement, although a more general opinion seemed to prevail that from the existing very low and unremunerating range of prices, any further decline of moment was improbable. At the same time the Irish markets, even with limited sup plies from the growers, are in general reported to be languid. Influenced by accounts previously received from this side of the water, the value of most kinds of native grain, at several of the shipping ports, is quoted rather lower. By recent ad vices thence, potatoes are rarely alluded to, from which it may be reasonably inferred that the crop has proved more favourable than it indicated early in the season, at least some of our friends express that opinion. Influenced by the stand made in London yesterday, the Wheat trade at our market this morning was firm, to which the buyers did not freely respond, and a moderate extent of business only was transacted in English and Foreign Wheats on the terms of this day week, whilst a few prime samples of Irish, being scarce, realised a slight amendment. Choice marks of Flour were in some request, and remained steady in value; but all inferior and doubtful kinds were wholly unsaleable. _ _ Oats, from actual scarcity, were tile turn dearer; and Oat meal, on a moderate demand, maintained the rates of this day week. Indian Corn continued to meet a fair demand; and holders being exceedingly firm, an advance of 6d. per qr. was at tained. Barley was Is. per qr. cheaper, and Malt hardly supported late prices. In Beans and Pease little variation was apparent. BRITISH. Wheat, 70/b. s. d. s. d. English, red .... Old 6 2 @ 6 6 1 New .. Ditto, white 6 6 7 0 d 0..... Irish, red Ditto, white 5 5 6 0 'do. ....

J 4 Beyond several grain vessels yet to arrive, which sailed from the Baltic before frost set in, further supplies of moment thence or from the principal rivers in the north of Europe, now closed by ice, cannot reach this country previously to the spring of next year: many corn ships are also reported to be detained in the Danube from the same cause, and no large importations an ticipated early from the south of Europe, our dependence du ring winter therefore must rest chiefly upon deliveries from English growers, especially as Ireland, which will have less to spare for export than usual, is already consuming its own pro duce extensively, and will require no small portion of Foreign Wheat and Indian Corn until harvest. Moreover, although the arrivals of Foreign Wheat have continued to flow liberally •into London during autumn, a larger share of thozeimports is stated to have been taken by millers than was apparent, and that the remaining stock there is by no means oppressively heavy: while the quantity of Wheat and Indian Corn in the granaries of this place are in amount, but of most other articles very mo derate.—Under these circumstances, we hope the prices may be such in the United States as to enable our American friends, in the absence of supplies from the sources above-named, to face this market with advantage. With some rain in the early part of this week, the weather since Tuesday has been severely cold, inclining to frost, but is more temperate to-day. The arrivals into this port, coastwise and from Ireland, since Monday last, are trivial, and those from abroad rather small, except Wheat, of which we have to report a moderate supply from the United States and Europe. In the English markets this week no important change ap pears to have occurred ie the value of any article of the corn trade ; as regards Wheat, however, a .firmer feeling has pre vailed, evincing a tendency rather upwards ; whilst those in Ireland have remained in general somewhat inactive, but with out material variation in prices. At this day's market there was an improved demand for all good .qualities of English and foreign Wheats, and with evi dently increased confidence in the trade, our last quotations were not only fully maintained, but some fine parcels of the latter were held on rather higher terms, the best dry samples of Irish new realizinF an advance of Id. to 2d. per 701bs.—Irish Flour, notwithstanding, was unsaleable, except the choicest well-known marks of extra superfine, •and even these moved off very slowly at late prices, whilst States and Canadian, though not taken freely to-day, remained steady in value, and to supe rior descriptions of French Flour similar remarks are applica ble. Barley and Malt, upon a moderate demand, supported pre vious rates ; and Beans, as well as Pease, attended with some what more inquiry, were the turn dearer.—Oats. being still ex tremely scarce, good mealing kinds must be noted quite as high as on Tuesday, and Oatmeal, commanding a ready sale, im proved 3d. per load. Importers of Indian Corn tenaciously held out for a further advance of 6d. per qr., which, giving a check to the demand, little business was transacted at the amendment.

At our market to-day, Wheat of good, well-conditioned quality, is held with confidence. There are buyers of Flour at the late low prices, to which sellers are not generally inclined to submit. Oats and Oatmeal steady, but the sale for both is slow. New Beans Is. per quarter lower. In other articles no variation. WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, DEC. 11. Barley, 88 qrs., @ Is. 10d.

During the week country markets have generally made some advance in prices, which has its influence to-day, and we have a moderate busi ness passing at an improvement of Is. per qr. No change in the value of Barley; the common qualities are still unsaleable. Oats and Shelling sell slowly at late prices. Beans offered freely. PRESTON CORN MARKET, DEC, 15 We have no arrivals to report from Ireland this week. In fluenced by a better feeling in other leading markets. more tions that have occurred, though not important in amount, extreme rates have been fully maintained. We had a small supply of English Wheat at our Corn-Exchange to-day, which met a brisk sale, at an advance of Is. per windle upon the rates of this day se'nnight. Irish was held for Id. to 2d. per bushel more money, but sales were not sufficiently important to war rant us in altering our quotations generally._ Foreign as before. Flour the turn better sold. Beans were likewise in more re quest, at full prices. Oats, as mentioned last week, met a slow sale for enealing, but we have experienced a fair demand for provender, at the above currency. Upon a moderate enquiry for Oatmeal, good qualities improved in value 3d. per load. Bran 3d. per pack dearer. No change in other articles. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKE DECEMBER 15. One or two cargoes of Wheat, not reported above, arrived in me for this day's market; but the entire quantity of Grain many weeks past There was a short supply of Wheat to-day condition slightly improved, and the whole „ . met a ready sale at an advance of is . to 2s. per qr. All gra naried Wheats, whether English or Foreign, were held firmly, at higher rates. Business was strictly confined to the samples offering ex ship, and for these rather more money was ob tained. For Barley there was almost no demand, and to effect sales lower prices must have been taken. Pease freely—Boilers are worth 265. to 28s. per quarter ;o off pretty tcording to quality.

The ground is reported to be in a very wet state, and labour much behind. Arrivals, during the past week, consist of one cargo Indian Corn, two of Wheat, and one of Flour, from abroad; and two small cargoes Indian Corn, one of Wheat, and one of Flour, coastwise. At our mar ket, this day, we bad a small supply of farmer's produce, which met with a quick sale at prices rather in favour of the seller; the supply of Oatn.eal was fair, and was soon cleared at an ad vance of 2d. to 3d. per cwt. from the rates of this day week. There is a fair demand for foreign Wheat at our quotations; and the market is new well supplied by the late arrivals. There is not so much passing in Indian Corn this week, the greater portion of the late arrivals having been disposed of ex ship, or put into store; a further advance is demanded, which checks sales.

MANCHESTER.—The somewhat more favourable turn which we noticed at the close of last week has since then become more marked, and we can report more favourably of the mar ket generally, At the beginning of the week, greater disposi tion for business was observable, and orders were given out which had up to that time been withheld. Prices for some things were a shade higher, and altogether the aspect of mat ters was more favourable than for some weeks past. This im provement has continued to manifest itself, and has resulted in a decided increase of business. Purchases have been made for the Italian and Greek markets, as also for India, and the depressed prices of low numbers of water twist has induced some pretty extensive transactions for China in the sorts usually in demand for that quarter. The German houses have not been much in the market, their season having closed. Prices in some cases..show a decided advance, and in all cases higher rates are looked for, the tendency being decidedly up wards. The cloth market fully partakes of the improvement. The demand for shirtings, printers, and light goods being de cidedly better, and at better rates. For light T cloths some rather large orders have been given out, whilst inquiries are more general from all quarters, and prices, if not higher in all sorts of light cloths, are so in the majority; and in the others very full rates have to be paid. The'Greek houses have been somewhat more extensive purchasers this week ; and the busi ness of the home trade has not been insignificant. ROCHDALE.—We have had less business this week than last, with little change in prices. The Wool dealers are asking better prices for the raw material, and in some instances have obtained them. LEEDS.—There is no change of importance iii the Woollen trade, The public markets have been as brisk this week as for some time past. Stocks arc not heavy, and manufacturers, who are tolerably well employed, only work to demand. Prices are firm. BRADFORD.—WOOLS.—The activity in the demand which we have observed for two or three weeks past, has now subsided, spinners having put themselves in good supply, and buying only to assort their stock. Noils and Brokes, which for some time past have commanded low prices, are now decidddly im proved, and an advance of lOs. per pack is readily realised. YARNS.—There is no change in the demand for Yarns, all the spinners are actively engaged to order. PIECES.—The demand for the season is certainly beyond an average of years, but the large quantity of goods now ready is induced by the price at which they car be had, in many instances much below the cost, if the Yarns are bought at the present prices. HALIFAX.—The demand for Worsted goods, both plain and figured, continues steady, without any material change in prices. The spinners are still full of orders, and most de scriptions of Yarn sell freely at improved rates. The sales of long Wool are considerable, and prices are very firm, with an upward tendency. There is also more inquiry for Short Wools at rather advanced quotations. HUDDER6FIELD.—The principal business that has been done was with a few buyers of job lots. The Wool market continues firm, and the business of the district may be considered healthy for the season. PACKET LIST, GENERAL POST-OFFICE, DEC. 16 Mailsdesp'd Last Packetrext Packet Destination.
