He himself has been a large sufferer in this way, and we cannot do better than direct the attention of housekeepers and the police to the fasts ; for if this unauthorised "liberality" in servants be allowed to go on, it will inevitably lead to offences of a graver character. The Rev. Dr. M`Neile is at present in London, and we perceive that our metropolitan friends are making the most of his talents. On Sunday morning the rev. doctor preached in Regent-square Chapel, on behalf of the Me tropolitan Training Institution ; in the evening, in St. Michael's Church, Chester-square, for the Ladies' Hiber nian Female School Society. Yesterday (Monday) he spoke at a meetinz in Freemasons' Hall (at which Lord Ashley presided) of the friends of the first-mentioned in stitution. This evening he will preach in St. Dunstan's in-the-West,' Fleet-street, on behalf of the Scripture Readers' Society ; and on Thursday he will preach in St. Paul's Church, Cheltenham, after Lord Ashley has laid the foundation-stone of the Church of England Training College, for eighty school-masters, about to be erected in OPINION OF THE MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL AT RIO.—We lied at Rio, in mmercio, pt t chief gistrat resided for many years, the following observations, on his appointment to the honourable office which he now fills with so much credit :—" The Sr. John Bramley.Moore, head of the house of Srs. John Moore and Co., of thi. ~item I cently been elected Mayor (chief municipal agisirate) of Liverpool. The Sr. Bramley-Moore resided malty years in Rio de Janeiro, where his obliging manners and his noble and generous character gained him the esteem of all he Brazilians and foreigners with whom he came in contact. On his return to his native country, the Sr. Bramley-Moore employed all the time that remained from his laborious occupations, in the service of his fellow townsmen, and, after a most honourable career in offices of public importance, has been raised to the highest post of honour which his fellow-citizens were able to offer him. The Brazilians, who know how much he interested him- self in the prosperity of the empire, and how anxious he still is for its continuance, will doubtless receive with pleasure the intelligence of so honourable an appointment, and one which so worthily recompenses the services which this gentleman has rendered to his fellow-citizens." ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHING. —The steam ship America, Captain Harrison, which sailed from Boston on the 21st, and Halifax on the 23rd ult., reached the Mersey early on the morninz of the 3rd inst., after a rapid run of little more than 91 days from the atter port. Messrs. Will mer and Smith had a summary of the news brought by the America placed in the hands of a clerk i n charge of the electric telegraph here about three o'clock ; but from nagement and bungling a delay of 61 hours took he transmission of the message, much to the London press, and the great disappoint ment of the commercial community. Notwithstanding this unwarrantable delay, the company's chief clerk here refused to make any abatement in the charge. On the contrary, by a species of ingenuity anything but com mendable, he endeavours to force Messrs. Willmer and Smith to pay more than one-half more than they have been hitherto charged for such communications. We deeply regret to be obliged to stigmatise the manner in which the Electric Telegraph Company's officers carry on the business connected with this wonderful and highly important invention. To advertise " instantaneous com munication," and yet take 61 hours to transmit a message of 60 words, is really too bad.—European Times. EW PACKET SHIP CONSTELLATION, OF NEW This vessel is 1600 tons Government, or 2000 tons carpenters' measurement, and is said to be the lar gest merchant ship in the world. Her length on deck (Custom-house measurement,) is 204 feet, breadth 31, (extreme 43,) and depth 28 feet 9 inches. She has three decks, with oak hanging and lodging knees, and diagonal trussinzs between the hanging knees of both decks, which must add very materially to her strength longitudinally. The frame of the Constellation is equal in size to that of a ship of the line, and s ,d fastened in the most approved style. Her model for Ueauty, buoyancy, and speed, is all that the eye could desire. A full figure of Commodore Truxton ornaments her bow, and her a gem of exquisite workmanship, set off The pumps of the Constellation are of the most approved kind, and are designed to force out the foul uir from below while they are in use pumping ship. Her masts will be fitted with lightning conductors, agreeably to the plans of Sir W. Snow Harris, except that the fore and main lower masts being made sticks, stern is, in itse with quarter galleries the conductors pass through their centres and through the keelsons and keel. The Constellation will form one of the Red Star Line of Packets, consigned here to Messrs. Spooner, Sands, and Co. She will be commanded by Captain James C. Luce, late of the well-known packet ship John lt. Skiddy. The Constellation will leave this port for New York on the 26th of May. DESTRUCTION OF A COTTON WAREHOUSE BY FIRE. —On Saturday, about half-past eleven o'clock, the cotton warehouse of Messrs. W. A. and G. Maxwell, situate in Henry-street, took fire, and, before the flames could be a large amount of valuable property, together building, was totally destroyed. It appears that about the hour just named, some workmen, who were in the warehouse, sampling, heard a cry of fire, and imme- diately made a precipitate retreat. Word was passed to Mr. Hewitt, at the fire-station, who immediately hurried to the spot, accompanied by a few of the fire-brigade. On his arrival he found the warehouse a mass of blazing ruins, the interior being choked up with cotton, beams, and floors. The opposite warehouse (Ledson's) had also The mains belonging to the Green-lane Waterworks were, in a short time, opened, and by a plentiful supply of water, he was enabled to stop the further progress of the fire in that direction. The engine belonging to the West of England Company was early in attendance at the scene of conflagration. The fire in the building where it originated continued to increase rapidly, and it was upwards of an hour before the firemen obtained a command of it so as to prevent its further extension. The building, with a large quantity of cotton therein, was destroyed, the loss being estimated at about £4,000. Messrs. Maxwell, are, however, insured. We regret to say that a serious acci dent occurred to a man named Robson, a watchmaker, who was a spectator at the fire. He was standing on the west side of Henry-street, when a portion of a window stone, which had been rendered brittle by the heat from the burning mass, fell from a great height, and struck him on the. head. He was carried away to the Southern Hos pital in a state of insensibility, where he now lies, but we are glad to hear that hopes are entertained of his recovery. LIVER THEATRE.—Last week the Royal Liver Theatre was opened for an operatic season, under the direction of Mr. Howard Glover. The operas which have been pro duced are " Bellini," " Sonnambula," and " Giselle," Romer, a young lady already well known in Liverpool, and her personation of the two heroines, " Amina' and tion: In the first-named character, particularly, she displays a volubility in the most difficult passages, and a judicious management of her vocal powers, united with a very highly dramatic acting, that leave wished for.

The blockade of the German ports by the Danish fleet, has been gladly seized hold of by the importers of grain, as an argument in favour of checking the continued decline of prices, which was becoming alarming. Already the scale has been turned, and a shilling advance has been secured at Mark-lane. The following remarks, however, by the London correspondent of the Manchester Guar dian, are worthy of consideration by those who augur much benefit from such a fact : " It is proper," he says, " to warn your readers that the repeal of the corn laws has somewhat altered the position of Mark-lane, so far as it has hitherto been considered as an index to the markets of the kingdom, and therefore the controller of the averages. The change is operating in various ways. People are beginning to learn l'iow to import on their own account, instead of buying as usual in Mark-lane ; and ports, not hitherto considered recipients of for n grain, are now rece This is undeniably the case. For several weeks past it has been remarked in our leading metropolitan circulars, that the bulk of the foreign grain arriving, even in the Thames, was imported for account of, and delivered direct to, the millers themselves, and never was offered in the market at all. By-and-by, many of our principal mar kets, especially inland, will only serve to register, as a guide to the importers, the price of the home-grown sam ples offered. The further remarks of the writer are not of a very consolatory character to the farmer— " It was supposed that the supply would somewhat fall off after the opening of the ports, it being presumed that lower prices would check importation. This has not hitherto been If our prospects receive no check, and everything go on favourably, we are likely to hare prices as low as they were in 1835, and that of itself will act as a check. The average price of wheat, in 1835, was 31 was 365., being the lowest that had occurred for exactly one century previously, as may be seen by reference to Took,l's History of Prices. There is no use shutting one's eyes to the fact, that for some time longer prices will continue to recede ; and, as thie was one of the objects aimed at by the repeal of the corn laws, it is not 'a matter of surprise or regret that i should be so." It is, by-the-by, rather assuming too much that the prices even of 1835 will operate as a check upon importa tion ; and that prices may not range even much lower during the present than in that year. Already, with a harvek deficient in yield, the average has been reduced, by importation, to about 445. per quarter ; and, with an abundant harvest at home, even a trifling cessation of imports cannot have any great effect in checking a further reduction. " This," however, " was one of the objects aimed at by the repeal of the corn laws." Which of the trimming Peelite county members durst have told their constituents this important fact when soliciting their suffrages ? EPIGRAM The following epigram was written on Hill, printer to King James 11., doing penance : Penance enjoined, durst Hill refuse To trudge five miles with pease in 's shoes ? No—but bid to fast, the sly sinner Resolved to stand ur on his dinner; So boiled his penitential pease, To give both feet and conscience ease; And then, his church's rule to keep, In soup did penance ankle deep. Hence an archway this inference draws, What nead we feat a dying cause? 'Tis plain long since that crafty Hill The pulse of hoping could not feel. THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS OF MR. R. BEARD, JUN. The first efforts made in photographic portraiture were justly regarded as a great triumph achieved in the appli cation of physical science to the fine arts. By the process as then known, a faithful outline, and generally a correct representation of feature, were obtained ; and if only as a means of procuring likenesses of beloved friends in emer gencies, when pressing calls were made upon us for their absence, or, still more, when sickness had incapacitated them from enduring the tedium of frequent sittings to an artist, its acquisition was indeed a valuable one. The portraits, however, at first obtained, were defective in many points ; in the absence of colour for inscance, and in a certain inequality of surface throughout. Those who have only inspected these early efforts can form but little idea of the perfection to which—mainly by the scientific improvements effected by Mr. Beard, of London, the in ventor of the daguerrotype—the process has now attained. The defects formerly complained of have been completely removed. The natural light and shade is faithfully pre served ; the flesh is beautifully painted, at once warm atm natural, and, what we regard as the greatest triumph, the glossy tints of the hair, the dress, &c., are given with a transparency which is perfectly beyond the skill even of the most skilful miniature painter. At the suggestion of numerous friends, and to afford to the inhabitants of Liverpool access to the productions of photographic art of the most perfect character, Mr. Beard, jun., who has for some time superintended the original London establishment, has taken and fitted up for the purpose a suite of rooms at No. 34, Church-street, form ing the upper portion of Mr. Burland's gallery of art, where the lovers of painting will do well to pay him a visit. In the specimen room will be found a collection of most beautiful portraits, amongst which are already several of ladies and gentlemen well known in our town, and some of the leading members of the nobility. We have had an readers of its almost unerring success, and of the absence of any fatigue or annoyance attending it. A few seconds sitting only is required to produce the portrait, during which period nothing is so desirable as that the sitter should preserve an unconstrained expression of features, and perfect stillness. There has, we believe, existed an idea that the light, when thrown upon the face, is rather overpowering, and requires an effort to enable the sitter to overcome it, which has frequently produced an unpleas ing portrait. This is not the case to any extent under the present process. The portraits can be taken of various sizes ; and the smaller are admirably adapted for mount ing in brooches, lockets, &c. A MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE MRS. HENRICHSON AND HER TWO CHILDREN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD Snt,—l am not aware whether the subject of erecting a monument to the memory of the late Mrs. Henrichson and family has been canvassed by any other party ; and, if not, it seems to me to be a very fit subject for the public of Liverpool.to take up, with that warmth and earnestness of purpose for which they have been so long noted. Great sympathy was undoubtedly shewn by the inhabi tants of this town when the horrible affair was perpetrated; but the poor unfortunate husband was not here to witness it. He is now on a foreign voyage, and may be ab3ent several weeks, and though the shock at the loss of his wife and children will be great indeed, yet I cannot help thinking that if he found their remains covered by a chaste monument, raised, in his absence, at the expense of his fellow-twnsmen, it would be a source of great consolation to him. The Cemetery, too, is so highly calculated for a thing of the sort, with a suitable inscription, commemorative of two hundred pounds would soon be collected, and the gratifying task might be commenced at once.

HEALTH CommtrrEE.—The committee met as usual on Thursday, Mr. Tinne in the chair. The Inspector of Nuisances in making his weekly report stated that on an intimation being given to Mr. Rose of the existence of cholera in Henderson-street, he immediately cleansed every court midden in the street, making no distinction whether they were full or not; and he had expressed his willingness to do the same in any other district wher cholera may hereafter appear. The Chairman said Mr Rose was acting in a most e the thanks of the committe The sum he got was thought a large one, but he _ Medical Officer of Health reported borough last week were 234, being a decrea compared with the previous week.

The attention of the West Darby Board of Guardians was directed to this matter. On the sth instant, three men employed were partially asphyxiated in a sewer in Lower Harrington- by the prompt assistance of Mr. Standing, district sur veyor, who went down into the sewer at the_risk of his ,hree men ultim danger.—Dr. Duncan stated that the cases of the workhouse had not been treated on Dr. Hawthorn plan. Mr. Hodson said the cases in the workhouse had been treated on the mode laid down by the medical gen tlemen generally.

He said that he considered the observation just made by Mr. Riding as a defamation of his character as a trades man, and he would certainly bring an action against Mr. R. for making such an assertion (renewed laughter). As far as the broken hammers were concerned Mr. Riding should hear of it again (renewed laughter.) He would ask the meeting, was the chairman of the 'Workhouse committee to come forward on a public occasion like that, and brand him (Mr. C. with having sold bad hammers ?

The African Ros cius, Mr. Aldrige, has been performing in the legitimate drama each evening, and sustained his Parts with his usual ability. We must pass over his excellence, which is well known, to notice more particularly the novelty afforded by the production of the grand ballet of " Esmeralda," which has been brought forward in excellent style. The scenery is splendid, and the view of Notre Dame and bridge by moonlight is very true to nature, and the serial perspective infused into the whole truly admirable. The scene of the Conservatory and Garden, with a fountain in the long vista of perspective, shows much skill and tast in the artist The various groups of gipseys at play affords many striking points of picturesque beauty, and the cos tume throughout is characteristic and good. If any point fails, it is in the orchestral department, which is not suffi mmerous to meet the other order of excellence. most striking feature is the debut of Mademoiselle But the Auriol, a dancer of the first order of excellence, who com bines all those rare points of ease, grace, and perfection of finish, which belong to the first operatic dancers. In figure she is small, but most beautifully p ro p or ti one d, an d combines many points of symmetry.

She has wonderful power and flexibility of limb, which can only b e acqu i re d b y years of laborious application. Her pas and poses are highly graceful, and all her movements are natural and beautiful. Her bye-play is excellent, and the expression of her face suitable to the vivacity of the part. There is also much taste and elegance displayed in the arrangement of her costume. She takes her benefit on Friday.
