Etberpool TUESDAY MORNING, M. AY 29, 1849 THE commercial advices brought yesterday by the steam-ship from New York are very favourable. The orders for manufactures continue to be on a very extended cealP, the steamer having brought them to a very large amount for every description of goods. Exchange was very firm at 81, with few bills offering—a good demand would raise it over 9. The money market having become easy, and the bulk of the cotton crop having gone forward, we need be under no apprehension of a further drain of specie; in fact, that already exported may be soon returned to us, and if so, the shippers will have lost considerably. The coming crop has been very little affected with the frost, although in some of the southern papers dismal tales are told. Season able rain and a change of weather has brought the crop forward vigorously —the only thing apprehen sive being, that the gathering of it may be retarded. It is much if the present goes over 2,600,000 hales. Several parties have arrived by this vessel to endeavour to dispose of U. S. State and Rail Bonds, Capitalists should he wary, and not be too easily blinded with plausible tales and high dividends, for although the latter are nearly all payable in the United States at 6 per cent., yet before the holders can receive them in this country they have to employ an agent, pay commissions, postages, and the difference of exchange, which reduces the divi dend below 5 per cent. The accounts from California continue to be of their usual exciting character, and some parties contend that no description can equal the reality. The friends of order at New York are well pleased at the effectual way in which the rioters were put down. THE career of the Roman Republic in its strug gle for independence has presented one of the most interesting spectacles to be found amidst the con vulsions of modern Europe.

The same s t a t e o f t hi ngs ex i sts in Skihbereen and throughout Clare and Galway. The bulk of the substantial portion of the popula tion are either gone already, or are preparing to flee from a land in which pestilence and famine, which they can no longer relieve, surround them on every side. The bone and sinews, the capital and industry, of the country are transporting them selves to the backwoods of Canada, or the prairies of the United States, to toil with the hatchet or the spade for that bread which can no longer be raised at home, without the certainty of their owners being at least dragged down into the general mass of pauperism and wretchedness. What prospect is there for such a people ? 'What hope have we of raising the emaciated and depair ing millions, who will speedily be all that are left there, to a condition of self-dependence ? The pur suits of manufactures and of agriculture alike suggest themselves, in vain, in these wretched dis tricts. Both the capital and enterprise necessary to ensure success are gone, those who possessed them preferring to bestow them upon the soil of the stranger. The Irish farmer, in his transatlantic home, can more than compete with the cultivator of his native land. The beef, the pork, and the breadfood of Ohio and Western Canada have long ago displaced the produce of Ireland in the British markets, and are beginning to form the chief source of supply for Ireland herself. The pig has vanished from every cottage in the land. The poultry are no longer seen about the labourer's and the farmer's homestead. The mill is almost idle; and even the distillery has ceased to produce its wonted abun dance of that bane of Ireland—whiskey. " Im prove your system of cultivation !" "Adopt Eng lish habits, and imitate English energy !" Impos sible. What are you to do with your pauperism ? What are you to do with the population which must be ejected, before you can proceed a step towards the improvement of your system ? Emigration might effect something ; but you cannot transport an entire people from your soil, and the bulk of that people steeped in poverty to the very lips. The question, What is to be done with Ireland ? will have to be looked at as an imperial, and not a merely Irish, question. We could not hold up Ire. THE repeal of the Navigation Laws is now an accomplished fact. The Lords have allowed their judgments to be usurped by the threats, or the cajolery, of one of the meanest and most imbecile governments that ever swayed the destinies of a great nation ; and another great interest is sacrificed before the shrine of the modern idol—cheapness. We must confess that we were not prepared for such a result ; and deplore it, as well for the'eake of their Lordships character as for the country. It is a melancholy sight to see such a body, com posed as it is of the elite of the nation, in birth, intellect, valour, and piety, dragged at the heels of a faction of sordid hucksters, and submitting to record the insolent fiat of men, whose avowed sympathies are on the side of the destruction of all that is noble, and chivalrous, and hallowed in the eyes of Englishmen. Especially we deplore the fact that, amongst the majority in favour of a measure, upon the merits of which conflicting opinions are held amongst men acquainted with all the bearings of the subject, so many of the vene rable prelates of our church thought it fitting to record their votes. It must be clear to every observing mind, from the indecent eagerness with which this measure has been pressed forward, and the stubbornness with which every proposed amendment has been resisted, that ministers have thrown overboard all the re straints of prudence and experience, and are deter mined to run headlong to the realization of the extreme views of the ultra free -trade party. Thus far the system of the Manchester school of political economy has been productive only of disaster and widely-spread suffering. We have ruined our sugar colonies, and alienated the Canadas ; and at home we see agricultural distress and severe commercial embarrassment. A social hurricane has swept down our merchant princes, and scattered bank ruptcy and ruin over the land ; and even the manufacturer, at whose selfish dictation the policy, which has been attended with these results, was adopted, finds himself rewarded with decreased exports, and a diminished consumption amongst THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. our own population. It is to bolster up this policy land, were her social position even improved, in a that we are now called upon to sacrifice our com- struggle, which we are not yet assured that we can mercial marine; to throw the industry of nearly a ourselves support. We have given to the foreigner million of souls out of employment, and to weaken a market for those very commodities from which he power of the only reliable defence which we Ireland h as a l ways d rawn t h e b ulk of her income from, this country. If she cannot compete suc cessfully for the supply of these articles, and sup port her own burdens, no measures of ours, short of restoring her protection, can enable her to do so. Grants of money, rates in aid, the sale of encum bered estates, are measures of temporary alleviation. The true question, however, to he grappled with is, whether, with our present commercial and fiscal policy, Ireland can ever be rendered self-dependant. STATE OF CANADA (From our own Correspondent.) MONREAII, . Little new has t rans pi re d d ur i ng th e past MAY 14 week. The House of A ssem bl y st i ll continues in session, and unwisely, for the effect is only to keep up the excitement, which is, however, a good deal allayed at present, though far from being subsided, and especially in the country parts. The question has considerably changed its form, or rather is being discussed in a new light. From the merits of a Rebel Indemnity Bill, the discussion has been carried to the question of responsible government, and whether according to this form of government Lord Elgin did right or wrong in sanctioning the bill. He hirilself, in answer to addresses, together with the ministerial party, assert that he could not have taken any other course than the one he has taken, without violating the principles of government he was bound to carry out. The conserva tives on the other hand assert that this bill could not be considered of a local character, and that in duty to his country and to his sovereign he was bound to have reserved it. possess as a nation—that naval supremacy, which has hitherto enabled us to defy the combined arms of the world. But will the insatiable selfishness and rapacity of these men stop here? Is this to be the last sacrifice, or only the beginning of a course, which is not to be arrested until every institution of the country, and every class, save their own, are involved in one common ruin ? We fear that the latter is intended; and that the loyal portion of the community must either prepare for a vigorous and combined struggle, or set their houses in order until it shall please their grasping enemies to knock at the doors. It is the want of this combined resistance to aggression which has precipitated the present blow against the maritime interests of the empire; and we fear that those who are now called upon to suffer will not meet with a very great amount of public sympathy. Not a few of our shipowners, either coquetted with the free-trade party, or stood by, passive spectators, whilst the agriculturist was submitted to their tender mercies. Our West India colonies were permitted to be ruined without any strenuous effort being made in their behalf. We do not refer to this, now, to add to the poig nancy of defeat, but to read a lesson for future guidance. United action must now be the watch word of those who would rally with success around the institutions of the country. " Enormous lying," it has been openly confessed, was the instrumentality by which the Reform Bill was carried ; and, although we shall not make use of so hard a term, we must say that enormous mis representation and ignorance have had much to do with the verdict given by Parliament upon the Government bill for the repeal of all protection upon British shipping. Mr. Porter's " cooked " statistics, consular reports got up for the occasion, the confusion of navigation-law restrictions with those created by Customs regulations, along with an apparent want of any acquaintance, on the part of Parliament and the public, with the actual fea tures of the present system, have afforded to the advocates of the ministerial bill facilities for mysti fication, which were never before, in our experience, brought to bear upon any important question. We have before us an article, contained in the Man chester guardian of Wednesday last, which is full of the errors and misrepresentations to which we have referred; and, although the time has passed by when the Plieiting of truth could effect any practical good, we shall bestow a few rcinarks upon our contemporary's lucubrations. After a preliminary confession that the measure of Government was not called for by the public,— that "it is a measure which has been little under stood, for which no demand was made, and which, even when proposed, excited but little interest or sensation,"--the Guardian proceeds to give the following account of the existing law : Some revulsion of feeling has taken place in Upper Canada on this subject, in consequence of the outrages which have been committed in Montreal. And truly in every sense they are to be deplored. It is true there was :3—and bitter cause—to call forth any expression of exasperation ; the acts, however, to which it gave effect were of a suicidal nature, coming as they did from the hands of loyalists. The loss of our provincial libraries, though they contained many rare works which cannot be replaced, is not the worst lass, nor yet are the records, nor the houses of parliament. The consequences most to be deplored are, in the first place, the tendency towards annexation, and the second, weakening the credit of the country. The former, by rendering more bitter an already too bitter party strife, and the fact of loyalists being those by whom these outrages have been committed, and those by whom annexation itself is threatened, rather than submit to a radical majority. There were some disturbances in this city last week, from an attack made by a mob on an hotel where the ministry were giving a dinner to a d e p u t a ti on f rom Upper Canada. The windows of the hotel were smashed in with stones, and the door broken open. One or two pistol photo were fired from within, and a couple of men wounded. It would be we ll if th ose by whom her Majesty is at present advised, would reflect upon the possi ble consequences of persisting in their deatruotive policy, and sacrificing class after class to manufac turing selfishness. The politician of the Manchester school, in addition to cheap foreign corn, has now secured cheap freights, and reduced wages of sailors, carpenters, and others engaged in maritime pursuits. Will those classes submit long to endure their present burthen of taxation, to pay the exist ing civil list, salaries, and other branches of the public expenditure, to use taxed timber, which the foreigner can have untaxed at his own door, and to pay excise and customs duties upon every article which they consume ? Undoubtedly they will not. Nay more, they cannot. We insist upon the British artizan and seaman engaging in a race of competition with the foreigner, and he will demand to be at least permitted to start fair. It is not an equal struggle between the , enormously taxed Englishman and the lightly taxed foreigner. The interest of eight hundred millions of debt will be a heavy clog upon the heels of the former. It is not a fair contest, either, between a nation, which has to meet all its engagements in gold, and one whose internal commerce is conducted through the agency of a cheaper and more expansive medium. current of public opinion will inevitably set in one or other of these directions, so soon as the full pressure to be creat e d b y our present policy is felt; and we are not at all certain that it has not so set in already. The British people pride themselves upon the unswerving faith which they have always kept with the national creditor; but even that faith may not stand the test of continual insult and injury directed against the producing and toiling millions by a monied aristocracy, which absorbs so large a share of the products of their soil. Addresses of condolence are being sent in to the go vernor from different parts of the country. Both ad dresses and answers are much to the same effect as those already published. The spring ships are beginning to arrive, but business is still dull. MONDAY EVENING. The previous contracted nature of our mercantile ope retiong has not at all expanded under the influence of the America's advices. In some respects they are decidedly favourable, and in others, iron, for instan c e, the reverse; but no improveme n t i n any department has become manifest to-day. The accounts of the extent of cotton receipts, and the contradiction of any serious in jury to the growing crop, may set us a-going after the holidays, particularly if the armistice so often fictitiously reported between the Danes and Schleswig-Holsteiners should actually supervene, and the blockade be suspended, of which, indeed, the German houses appear to entertain sanguine expectations by entering so largely into stock. The greatest danger to be feared at present is the Russian intervention in Hungary, which is calculated to involve other great European powers in a quarrel which otherwise might have been broughtto a speedier settlement. Iron is still neglected in America, prices being rather lower than last noted. Our market for Scotch Pig Iron is consequently very inanimate, and the quotation to-day is 42/6 for mixed numbers, and 43/6 @ 44/ for No. 1 Gartsherrie, f.o.b. at Glasgow. The demand for Sugar continues : 200 hhds. Barbadoes and 100 Antigua were sold o n S a t ur d ay at full rates, and 1000 bags good and fine Benares at rather easier rates. There is also a very good inquiry for Saltpetre, and 3000 bags changed hands on Saturday at 25/3 for very low, up to 28/ for 2 per cent. refraction. Nitrate moves off at -11/,..and Molasses at previous rates. 300 casks of Jamaica Cofee (of the new crop)will be offered to-morrow (Tues day). The receipts of Cotton at the American ports still con tinue heavy, and they make it evident the crop will amount to at least 2,600,000 bales, which imparts to the market here a tendency to rather easier prices. It also appears that the growing crops have received very little injury, as in many parts the plant was not up when the frost took place, and where damage has actually resulted, it is not to the extent previously supposed. At our mar ket to-day the sales- were moderate, comprising about 5000 to 6000 bales including 1000 f or export, b uyers (the attendance of whom from Manchester was not large) having great choice. It must, however, be mentioned that there is never much doing in the manufacturing dis tricts during Whitsun week, those who are not holiday making being employed in cleaning the mills, &c, The London sales of Wool have terminated, at prices not quite so good as at the commencement. There are a few continental buyers here, but, waiting the sale adver tised for to-morrow, quotations remain the same as last week. There is more doing in American Beef and Pork since Friday ; and as the American advices report a good de mand for Lard, with firm prices, it is probable that, not withstanding-our heavy imports, this- article will continue to maintain,its value. At this period of the year, how ever, as the season is nearly over, prices at the other side do not produce any very marked result here,, the demand in our own markets being the principal regulator of prices. Bacon is rather lower on the week for ordinary to mid dling sorts, whilst fine Western and Eastern have been sold at fully former rates. Long Middles. eastern cure, not free from taint, have been sold at 34/6,, Short Middles 34/6 to 36/'; Light Long Middles, rib in, are wanted for the Dublin market. Hams have again declined in value ; the quantity sold during the week has been fair, at 27/ to 31/ for ordinary, up to 38/ for tine long cut. Shoulders have sold freely at 24/6 to 25/, and higher prices are now asked. The demand for good Cheese still continues, at full prices, though middling and low qualities may be obtained at lower rates. The highest quotation for the best descriptions of Car rick and Waterford Butter is now 76/, a further depres sion, at which only a tardy business has been transacted. The arrivals this week of Irish Provisions amount to 6826 firkins, 831 crocks of Butter, 116 bales of Bacon, and 10 hhds. of Hams : both these latter articles sell slowly. We have given full particulars of the Corn trade in a separate article. New York. May 15 525.908 New Orleans — 5 136,182 Philadelphia —l2 52.294 Baltimore Boston —.l2 6,732 Other ports It is really strange that we should have heard so little of all these dire threats on the part of Russia and Prussia, before these courts were furnished with Whig-Radical plenipotentiaries to• prompt them as to the kind of demands they should make upon our excessive liberality. Our contemporary may depend upon it, however, that they will con tinue to take from us any produce " which we can supply to them advantageously," notwithstanding their present bluster. It is not correct, however, that our "great warehousing system "• is- at all in danger from either of these countries. The real danger is in admitting their shipping upon equal terms into our colonies, a policy which all practical men aamit will be fatal to our warehousing system, of which our long voyage trade has been the foundation and mainstay. Will any reasonable man contend that after a Russian or a Prussian captain has got on board a cargo of sugar or cotton, in the West Indies, or in Cuba, he will bring it to Liverpool, or London, to be warehoused, for future consumption in Russia or Prussia, when he can warehouse at half the cost, and save dock dues and other charges, by taking it home direct ? The notion is preposterous ; and equally so is the claim which the Guardian, seems to think Russia and Prussia put forward, as of right, for admission to our colonial markets as carriers to and from this country. It cannot be supposed that these countries have any right to interfere with the carrying trade from one portion of the British dominions to. another; and Jamaica ought to be little less dear to us than Bristol. We are not aware that either Russia or Prussia contribute anything towards the maintenance of our colonial possessions; and until they do so, or are prepared with colonies of their own to allow us to trade to in return, we shall con sider that they have just as much right to ask us to grant them a subsidy now and then. By the way, it was generally imagined that, when we ad mitted the corn and timber of the Baltic into our markets, we had done as much as was required of us for these countries; but some people's con sciences seem to stick at nothing.

THE Towsr TO BE SOLD.—Who'll buy a town ?—a very pretty town indeed—the town of Parkgate, which has above all other towns the singular privilege of being sold by auction. Many a town has been battered to pieces, but Parkgate is only to be brought to the hammer. The whole advertisement in which it occurs, indeed is worthy of perusal, for it is so graphic in its business-like terseness, that it bring under our view a complete Picture of " hills, and dales, and lawns, and gilded towers, and glittering streams." We glance over all the concomitants of rich rural scenery ; groves and orchsrds ; green en chanting slopes and sunny villages; comfortable farm steads, surrounded with lowing cattle, dusty roads and pleasant hedgerows, over which are wafted delicious scents of hawthorn, of primroses, garden flowers, and fresh grass : and fading in the dim blue of day, we catch glimpses of the bright estuary and the gray outline of the Welsh hills. Read the advertisement, and see if all this and much more be not realised. Every facility will be afforded to visitors to this delightful and favourite water ing place, and on the days of sale, we understand that omnibuses will meet the trains at Hooton station, which is only distant about three miles from Parkgate. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, a man named Ste phen M'Cade, aged 42, met with his death under the following shocking circumstances :—He had been work ing on board the ship Constellation, in the Salisbury Dock, and in attempting to get on shore by means of a rope, extending from the stern of the vessel to the dock quay, fell on his head, the back of which came in violent contact with the stones, by which he received fractures of the skull, which terminated fatally a fow hours afterwards at the Northern Hospital.

THE PUNJAUD FINANCIALLY AND POLITICALLY CON SIDERED.—In a financial point of view (says the India correspondent of the Times), there appears little appre hension in regard to the Punjab, and on this there had been misgiving ; a present revenue of at least a million and a half will amply bear the extra military c h arges an d civil establishments - which will be needed ; nor can it be' doubted that under a mild Government, and the encour agements of trading operations, cessations of transit duties and other vexatious imposts, the revenue will im prove.

This association held its monthly meeting last evening, at the Royal Institution, Dr. Inman in the chair. A let ter from Mr. Smith, who has furnished some accounts of the geological remains of Bidston Marsh, to the associa tion, on former occasions, was read, and a representation of a section of the marsh was suspended in the room. Mr. Smith's letter corroborated the impression that a forest once waved its umbrageous branches on the site of the present marsh : many interesting , specimens, (herbaceou s andnrborical) found by Mr. S. during his investigation, were exhibited. It was a matter of dispute as to whether the district contained fossal remains of animals. Mr. Boult then read a paper entitled " National credit the proper basis for national currency." The essay, which treated the subject in all its bearings and details, took a similar view to that propounded on this subject in our columns ion several occasions, a short time ago. It proposes to effect a fixect rate of interest in place of the present fluctuating system, by rendering con sols the regulating medium,, and not gold, carefully avoiding either of the excesses of interest, the high or the low, and so to do away with the speculative transactions, so injurious• at present. Mr. Pictou ge nerally concurred with the view taken by Mr. Boult, and would be glad to see the paper published ; he, however, offered some objections to the principle of " fixed rate of interest," which °bisections were replied to. In con firmation of the correctness of Mr. Boult's opinions, a gentleman present read the memorial issued in October, by the merchants, bankers, and others, and presented to Lord John Russell. After discussing the subject, the company retired to the room in which tea is usually served, and partook of that refreshing beverage. GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL.—We understand that on Saturday, the youths who have been successful in com peting for the l `Molyneux Scholarships," at the Colle giate Institution, waited on Mrs. Molyneux, the lady of Alderman Molyneux, and presented her w ith a beautiful yinegarette, as a small token of their gratitude to that gentleman for the benefits derived to them and the town at large from the foundation of those scholarships. The youths were accompanied by Mr. Michod, the talented head master of the lower school, and the presentation was made, accompanied by a well written address, by Atkinson, son of Mr. Atkinson, of the Royal Oak Ina, Toxteth Park, who has by his talents raised himself to the middle and thence to the higher school ; in the latter of which we understand, he is now usefully employed as an efficient teacher. LIVERPOOL FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The first exhibition for the year was held on Thursday, in the Corn Exchange. The day was remarkably fine, and the attendance of beauty, rank, and fashion of the town and neighbourhood far surpassed that at any previous exhibition. The show, as regarded the number and variety of the plants .ind flowers, was the finest which has taken place since the revival of the exhibition in the Corn Exchange.
