There has been no very material feature in the Consol market since we last wrote, and the quotation for the account this afternoon was 8714 at the close of business. There has been an advance both in Exchequer Bills and India Bonds ; the former were done yesterday at 52, and closed this afternoon at a premium of 49 to 51. India Bonds are 33 to 35 premium. In our Foreign market there was an improvement in Portuguese Bonds and Scrip yesterday, the former going up to 521, and the latter to 31 discount. As there has been no reason for this advance the market has been heavy to-day, and 511 52 was the last price, the Scrip leaving off at 31 to 41 discount. Brazilian Bonds have been in request and the quotation is 581 1. Spanish Bonds have also advanced to 171. Dutch Stock is 431 4, Belgian 8214, and Danish 731 74, Russia Bonds are 1041 to 105.

The troops at Warsaw'hail been ordered to the interior of Russia. It would appear that the spirit of revolt in Poland was far from being at rest. Those officers who had taken a part in the revolution, and had accepted service in the was against Russia, were subject to a most severe surveillance. Those living in the country were not allowed to leave their residences for the Capital, or for any other town, without previously obtaining per mission of the nearest military authority. Most of the nobility had preferred living in the country ; and the towns had, in consequence, suffered much ;—Warsaw, in particular, had suffered from this deter mination of the nobility to spend the winter in their country houses, instead of passing it as heretofore in their hotels. The commercial and industrious community had been further injured by a number of Russian merchants having settled themselves Viroughout the country, vending articles which were prohibited to the Polish trader. We find by the last advises from Saxony that disturbances had broken out in several parts of that kingdom, hut that these movements were put down without difficulty, and were not of importance. Also the Copper-plate Engravings, Blocks loulds, &c., and all other utensils complete for carryi • g •, the Earthenware and China Manufacture, all in excelle orking condition.

It was not thought that he would be brought to trial, as such proceeding might tend greatly to exasperate the revolutionary party. Ferdinand himself is alleged to be politically sick, and seldom or ever appeared in public. Madrid itself remained tranquil, the people being kept in awe by the large military force either in the city or its immediate vicinity. --Chronicle. nd Pr t d OF LIVERPOOL. 14th February, 1833.

German papers to the Bth instant state that the negociations between Ibrahim and the Porte were proceeding satisfactorily, and promised an amicable conclusion. Ibrahim himself is said to be as anxious for an arrangement as the Sultan, and the first overture for the mediation of the French Consul is stated to have come from him. Constantinople is tranquil, but the bustle was observable in the marine department. An unlooked for friend and ally has sprung up to the Sultan in his hour of need, for the Shah of Persia has sent to offer his best assistance against Mehemet Ali. The English and French agents are indefatigable in striving to accommodate matters between the belligerents.—Aforaing Paper. JAMAICA.—By letters received hi this place from Jamaica, dated the 7th January, we are happy to learn that the holidays had passed o'er quietly. Serious disturbances were, however, apprehended during the approaching elections, although the uniita.ry were considered a sufficient protection. Some of the oldest residents were of opinion that things were taking a very similar turn to what was experienced in SL Domingo previous to the insurrection in that colony. The governor's conduct in dissolving the legislature at the period he did, was very much condemned, and he was becoming much less popular than he had been. THE FACTORY SYSTEM.—A numerous meeting of the inhabi tants of Manchester was held on Thursday last, to take into consideration the propriety of petitionince , Parliament to shorten the hours of labour in•the factories. This meeting was attended by persons of all classes and descriptions, actuated by a feeling of commiseration for the unfortunate children, who, until their cause was taken up and advocated by Mr. Sadler, were left the victims of a system of slavery far more severe and cruel than any which ever did exist, towards the slave population of our West India Colonies, of which we have heard so much. POVERTY IN BLACKBURN.--The following is from the Black burn Al t ired :—There are at present in Blackburn 1738 families, consisting of 9779 persons, whose incomes have been ascer tained to amount to £B2B 19s. 7d. per week. This, after de ducting rent and taxes, will leave a:55 3s. 7d., or on an aver age, for food, clothing, tire, &c., per head per week. WRECK OF THE ROTHSAY CASTLE STEAMER.—The cause Mason v. Colquitt is expected to come on, on Wednesday morn ing next, in the Court of Exchequer, London. The witnesses on both sides are extremely numerous. The editors of several 'Liverpool and Welsh papers are subpoenaed on this trial: among the rest, the writer of this paragraph. Another action, Watson v. Rocktfff and others, is expected to be tried on the .26th, in the King's Bench, we believe.—Albion. MEETING AT THE NORTH DISPENSARY.-A special general meeting of the governors and subscribers to the Liverpool Dis pensaries was held on Friday, at the North Dispensary, Vaux hall-road, "for the purpose of dqtermining the propriety or impropriety of introducing . a limited number of beds, for urgent cases, into that building." After a long debate, during which several motions and amendments were proposed, a desul tory discussion ensued upon the order in which the various amend ments should be put; and ultimately Mr. Mozlev and Mr. Thom withdrew their amendments. A show of hands was then taken on Mr. Jordan's amendment, which was negatived by a considerable majority. A show of hands w as nex t t a k en for Mr. Lawrence's motion on the one part, and the amendment of Mr. Tinne on the other, when it was found that 22 voted for the amendment, and 26 for the original motion. The, latter was then declared to be carried. Another meeting has been called to consider the propriety of rescinding the resolution adopted on this occasion, and ;it hich sanctioned the fitting .up of beds. SlR,—Perhaps the following statement of the number of deft" and dumb persons receiving instruction in the various institu tions for that purpose throughout the world may interest some of your readers. It is extracted from the third report of the Royal Institution, at Paris, for the education of the deaf and dumb, recently published; a report which, from the copious in formation it conveys, and the important suggestion as to the best mode of communicating instruction to that unfortunate class of the community, does great credit to its framers. It con tains, in fact, a complete view of what is now doing in the way of deaf and dumb instruction, in every country of Europe and America. From the statement about to be given, it appears that the proportion of deaf and dumb persons to any given po pulation is as one to about 1,500. This would make the number so circumstanced in Liverpool and its environs 150 nearly; of whom those between the ages of 7 and 15 may be assumed at about 50. To receive these, and even a larger number, the. Liverpool School for the Deaf and Dumb is quite adequate. At present those under its instruction amount to 35, only 24 of whom, however, belong to the town. According to the French report, the whole number of this unfortunate class of society now receiving instruction throughout Europe, is 3290; and in Asia and America, 410:—total, 3730: while the total number of deaf and dumb persons throughout the world is estimated at 546,150. Much ground remains, therefore, to be occupied; in deed, with a few exceptions, the cause of deaf and dumb tuition is but yet in its infancy. France, Prussia, and Great Britain appear to take the lead in this good work. The former country has the honour of having commenced it, in the year 1760. Saxony, in 1778, was the first to follow the example, by the es tablishment of a school at Leipsic. England made no effort in this way until 1792, when the London asylum was opened un der the direction of the late Dr. Watson. To the exertions of private benevolence it would appear that most of these humane establishments have, in the first instance, been owing: such, it is well known, was the case in our own town, where a gentle man, whose heart is always open to every suggestion or Idea likely to promote the benefit of his fellow-creatures, and whose name I with difficulty suppress, took upon himself, for several years, the pecuniary responsibility attending the experiment of educating deaf and dumb children, at the same hours and under similar regulations to those of other day-schools,—an experi ment which happily has been crowned with success, and through which numbers of the deaf and dumb of our own town have al ready received such a measure of education as affords them the power of acquiring useful knowledge and of interchanging idi;av with those around them. That to the genius of Christianity, not to the dictates of a cold philosophy, mankind are indebted for these philanthropic exertions, it would be very easy to prove. Greece and Rome, in all their glory and intellectual refinement, were strangers to the spontaneous exercise of charity and beneficence. It was reserved for the religion of Jesus Christ to shew to what extent man may carry into practice the sublime principle of d estedness, and of loving his neighbour as himself.
