TO THE PARISHIONERS OF LIVERPOOL. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, A s it appears that you have determined to appoint a A DEPUTY GOVERNOR of the WORKHOUSE, as assistant to Mr. Hardman, I beg le ve most respectfully to offer myself to your notice as a CAN IDATE for the SITUA TION, and to assure von that, appointed, it shall be my strenuous and unremitting endea our to discharge to the best of my ability the serious and re nsible duties which will then devolve upon me. Of my qualifications for the office it would ill become ME to speak, out perhaps I may be permitted to observe, without in curring the charge of presumption, that having myself been bred in the school of adversity,—having, indeed., passed some of my early years as a pauper in a Parish Workhouse,—hav ing been left an orphan at the age of six years,—my condi tion there and during the arduous struggles of my subse quent life, has, I trust, taught me to compassionate the suffer ings of my fellow-creatures,--whilst my experience in the army will enable me to maintain that order and discipline which are indispensably necessary to the well-being of such an establish ment as the Liverpool Workhouse. Should you honour me with your choice, I shall always en deavour, on the one hand, to promote the comfort and welfare of the persons committed to my charge, in every way compa tible with the nature of their situation ; whilst, on the other, it shall be my study to do so at the least possible expense to the Parish. Most respectfully soliciting the honour of your suffrages, I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, JOHN SHIPP. (Superintendent of the Nightly Watch.) Licerpool, April 11, 1833. The following letter has been handed to us by a friend of Lieut. Shipp's, and, as it reflects credit on that gentleman, and on the commissioners of the watch, we _gjve it insertion. It was addressed to the Commissioners of Watch, Lamps, and Scavengers, at th'eir meeting on Friday last. GENTLEmEN,—A great number of my friends having ad vised me to offer myself as a candidate for the situation of Deputy• Governor of the Liverpool Workhouse, and having yielded to their wishes, I feel it a duty due to the Commis sioners of this Board, from whom I have received every mark of kindness and liberality, to explain my reasons for having, done so. Gentlemen, I am now in my fiftieth year, having on my person six ball wounds, two of them in the head, with the con stant exposure of heats and colds, and the incessant and ardu ous duties of my present situation. The constitution thus exposed, at my time of life, cannot be expected to last many years, and, therefore, I most earnestly hope and trust that my endeavour to obtain a situation more suitable for a person of my habits, and time of life, will not be considered either pre sumptuous or ungrateful. Should there be, however, a single Commissioner belonging to this Board, who does think that there is even a shadow of either, I will this moment relinquish my application fur the new situation. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient and humble Servant, JOHN SHIPP, April 12, 1833. Superintendent of the Nightly Watch: The Commissioners informed Mr. Shipp that they would not throw any obstacle in the way in endeavourin ,, to better his situation. Many of the Commissioners afterwards promised him their support and votes. MIDWIFERY. ATR.

The accounts from Madrid, which we have received to the Bth instant, represent everything as wearing a tranquil aspect in Spain. In certain private correspondence, intended for the Paris papers, there are some ridiculous stories of certain in trigues of the Queen, and General Castanos, President of the Council of Castile, against Zea Bermudez, which we have no hesitation in pronouncing to be destitute of foundation. Sir Stratford Canning still lingers at Madrid, although his mission has notoriously failed, and not the slightest pretext appears to remain for his longer residence there. Even the liberal Parisi an press make cutting remarks upon the self-sufficient tone which he primarily assumed and still attempts to maintain. In justice to Sir Stratford this, it should be borne in mind, ought in fairness to be attributed to the nature of his instructions, and the towering statesman from_ whom he received them, and not charged to his own taste or inclinations, although we do not be lieve him to be the most conciliatory of diplomatists. TURKEY CONStANTINOPLE, March 24.—(8y Express.)—Yesterday a French brig arrived here from Alexandria, with despatches for Admiral Roussin, at whose hotel great bustle was ob served immediately after their arrival. It soon transpired that the convention concluded between the Porte and Admiral Roussin had been rejected by Mehemet AIL The French Ambassador, attended by his interpreter, went to the Reis Effendi in the evening, and remained in conference with him several hours. The Divan was assembled in the night, and sat till the next morning. The greatest activity now . prevails in every branch of the Administration ; consternation is visible in the countenances of the high functionaries: for Mehemet Ali, it is asserted, will uo longer listen to any negotiations, but will dictate peace to us in the capital. He is indignant at the terms of the French convention, which he calls treacherous; hence he has charged his son to advance, to seize upon the castles of the Dardanelles, and there effect his passage into Europe. It is said that the Viceroy himself intended to em bark at Alexandria on board a ship of the line, and in company with six frigates, eight brigs, and above thirty gun-boats, to join the Egyptian fleet near Rhodes, probably with a view to aid the passage of his troops near the - Dardanelles; but if he should find them already provided with the necessary shipping for that purpose, as part of the Egyptian fleet is stationed near to Smyrna he will, it is fully expected, take possession of the islands which are still under the Ottoman dominion. Affairs are coming to a crisis, the decisive moment is at hand ; the Russian fleet alone, which is still at Bajukdere, can avert a catastrophe which threatens the existence of the Sultan. Ad miral Roussin is said to be much affected; he sends off couriers in all directions, and appears to be anxiously waiting for the arrival of a French squadron, which he asserts has sailed from Toulon. Rear Admiral Hugon has four ships of war under his command, and keeps his station at Smyrna. Admiral Roussin has requested him to approach nearer to the Dardanelles; it is doubtful, however, whether he will comply with the re quest, for since the departure of Count Guillenimot the French Ambasadoz has had no authority over the squadrons of his nation.—Augsburg Gazette. GREECE. Letters from Trieste confirm what we have heard already from so many quarters, the determination of Mehemet Ali to re fuse to treat with the Porte. According to the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 13th, the new King of Greece was becoming daily more and more popular. The Chiefs, Colocotroni, Zavellas, &c., had come into Napoli, and assured him of their entire devo tion to his cause. If he had not arrived, Colocotroni is said to have declared that not a stone of the walls of Navarino would have been left standing. How long all this harmony will last is a different question. , There are no other artic.es of auy im portance in the German papers, except that the military arc organizing in almost all the States. 'Tranquillity prevails at Frankfort, but the Journal de Frankfurt says, that the frontiers of the neighbouring States are occupied by strong detachments of troops. Hochst is occupied by troops of Nassau. Offen bach by troops of Hesse Darmstadt, and Bergen by troops of Hesse Cassel. " This measure," it adds, "is very advantage ous to our city, because it will defeat all plans of attack from without that might be contemplated against it." This does not look as if they considered that the tranquillity would be long suffered to remain unbroken.—Standard. JOBBING IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW.--It would ap pear that Professor Mylne, of the Glasgow University, following an example of which Sir James Gibson Craig, and his organs, the Mercury and Seatman, need scarcely be reminded—in tended to part with the chair of moral philosophy to Dr. Fleming, Professor of Oriental Languages in the same college, in consideration of an annuity to be paid by the latter. Pro fessor Mvhie having informed the Solicitor-General of this "transaction," he, as Lord Rector, immediately issued a long and rambling manifesto, protesting against th 3 proposed ar rangement, as calculated to shut the field of competition, and injure the character of the University. We are now informed that, in consequence of this exposure, the contemplated ar rangement has been abandoned. The Solicitor-General cer tainly dererves praise for his prompt conduct in this matter; but we cannot help thinking that his proceedings form a very bitter commentary on a late transaction, in which his official coadjutors and brother Whigs were very intimately concerned. Mr. Cockburn condemns all attempts to shackle the competi tion for professorships with retiring pensions; and this doctrine is upheld by the friends of the press !—the very same parties who acted in defiance of such a principle on the occasion to which we allude. Professor Mylue surely could not have anti cipated opposition from such a quarter at all events !—Edin burgh Evening Post. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, LONDON THURSDAY, APRIL 18. John Randall, late coachman to Mr. Long Wellesley, applied upon his petition, to be discharged. The insolvent was not opposed ; but the learned Chief Com missioner elicited from him that he attributed his insolvency to becoming liable for certain debts due by Mr. Long Wellesley. The last money he received from him was £7 anal that was at the Chelmsford election. He had no doubt, he said, of paying his own creditors when Mr. Wellesley paid him. The Chief Commissioner inquired whether he had any a knowledgment from Mr. Wellesley ? The insolvent replied that Mr. Wellesley had the book of the debts, and had "sanctioned" them ; he had his bill and papers. He handed a note to the Court written by Mrs. Wellesley, in which she admitted the debt. The Chief Commissioner, after perusing its contents, said that the note written by the wife would not make the husband liable. _ _ _ _ The insolvent, it appeared, had suffered, since his incarcera tion in the Fleet prison, severely from indisposition. The Court ordered him to be discharged, and appointed two creditors assignees. Richard Mather, described as a " professor of dancing," ap plied to be discharged. The insolvent was, in the course of his examination, asked the description of a lady whose name appeared in his schedule, he said, " She kept an establishment.' Chief Commissioner—lndeed! How very refined we get. I suppose the plain English, is that she is a schoolmistress ? Insolvent—She is so, sir. Chief Commissioner—We get very refined. You were, I suppose, some years ago content with being called a dancing master, but now it is " Professor of Dancing." There are many women who keep " Establishments," and yet are not school mistresses. Let us call things here by their proper names. Mr. Woodroffe applied that the insolvent might be allowed what he might call au implement of his trade—lt was his " Fid dle and bow." Chief Commissioner—What, Mr. Woodroffe! did you say trade? If the gentleman will deign to accept the fiddle and bow as an implement of trade, he shall have it—if not, it must be given up. Mr. Woodroffe accepted the instrument as an "implement;" and the insolvent was ordered to be discharged. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, APRIL 16. ACCOMMODATION BILL TRANSACTIONS. A meeting for choice of assignees under a, fiat against John Attree, a grocer of Brighton, took place this day before Mr. Commissioner Merivale, when, after several debts had been proved, and the messenger reported that the property discovered belonging to the bankrupt was valued at only £49 175., a creditor handed to the commissioner a letter which had been sent to the bankrupt, and which discloses the manner by which tradesmen procure a fictitious capital to support their falling credit. The letter was to the following effect:— " Sta,—ln reply to your favour, we beg leave to inform you we are willing to remit you the amount in bills you request. Our commission of five per cent., which includes all expenses, is upon the amount wanted, and not after the rate of so much per cent. per annum (say £5 for every £1130;) the dates and accounts of course to your own convenience; but should you require the bills to lie renewed, when due, for three, six, or nine months longer, our commission then would only be 21 per cent., and the same charge every time you require the renewal (that is where the bills are in amount from £5O and upwards; for smaller sums we charge the full commission of £5 per cent.) . In sending the commission upon the amount you require please to forward us a copy of the undertaking, signed by yourself, at the same time; and we trust to your strict punctuality in pro viding payment upon all occasions, when due, of any bills We send; and in any business we transact together it will be our study to give you every satisfaction. We have done consider able business quietly in your neighbourhood for many years, and we shall at all times be happy of your correspondence which will meet immediate and confidential attention, by " Sir, yours very respectlfullv, " WM. MUIR, and Co. "24, Dempsey-street, Commercial-road, London. "No letters received unless post-paid." P.S. We always advise our correspondents to keep these transactions confidential, and pay the bills away as if they had received them in the usual way of business, or assistance by friends. When bills to the amount of £5OO and upwards are re quired, they will also have a drawer, and be indorsed by one or two more respectable factors, brokers, or tradesmen, in the usual mercantile business method, as if they had already been nego tiated by one party to another before you had them; and we can also exchange them in great variety from time to time as circumstances may arise to requite it. 'After business has com menced we will not trouble our correspondents to pay postages, but till then all letters and parcels must be free of expense. Saleable goods, at a fair market price, will be taken for our commission when bills to the amount of £530 are requested. We have by us at this moment several very respectable bills, in amounts from £5O to £l,OOO at three, four, and six months' date, accepted by merchants, and indorsed by several parties as above stated.' The letter was addressed to " Mr, John Attree, grocer, Btighton." It was not dated, but the post-mark is March 2., 1833. A court martial assembled on Wednesday week, in the mess room of the Royal Marines barracks, at Woolwich, of which Colonel G. P. Wingrove was President, to try Second Lieute nant Daniel O'Connell, of that corps, (nephew of Daniel O'Con nell, M. P.), on the following charges:-Ist, for concealing a bottle of spirits in his bed on the 'ad of March last, during which time he was a patient in the hospital-2d, for drunken ness between the hours of seven and nine at night, on the 224 of March last, absenting himself from the hospital without leave, and obstructing the hospital serjeant in his duty, when endea vouring to bring him back to his ward. The ease for the prose tion closed on '1 h u rsday, and the prisoner, who was assisted by M. O'Connell, Esq., M. P., sou at the learned member for Dub lin, and W. J.

James Smith, M.A., Fellow of Brazenuose College, Oxford, by the congregation attending Stepney New Church, Loudon. It - bears the following inscription:—"Presented to the Rev. James Smith, M.A., on his retiring from the ministry of Stepney New Church, after a zealous and faithful discharge ot its duties during nine years, by the congregation, in token of their grateful respect and sincere esteem." THE HOG ORGAN.—Louis the Eleventh, whose maitre de musique was the Abbe Dabuigne, disposed one day to be plea sant, told the Abbe, that he should, above all things, like to hear a concert of hogs; not, at the same time, believing that the realization of such a treat was possible. The Abbe, how ever, determined to be as facetious as his Majesty, collected a great number of the swine species of various ages, mid confin lug them in a large box-like iuclosure, with holes of communi cation on one side ; he, on that side, placed a table, furnished with a certain number of keys, similar to those of a harpsichord, ' but armed, at the ends which went through the holes, with long needles, and so arranged, that, when he pressed down the leit hand keys, the old hogs grunted, and when he touched those on the right, the young pigs squeaked ; and, by the charming mix- ' ture of their high and low notes, produced a " concord of sweet sounds," or an hog-organ. Bouchet, who narrates this story, adds, that when the king was invited to hear the Abbe's newly. • .21'0 UR invented concert, he was highly diverted, laughed heartily, and -c gave him much credit for his contrivance.
