Wayertree STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND ULVERSTONE.—It will be gratifying to many of our northern subscribers, as well as those interested in the trade of the port, to learn that a communication by steam is now established between this port and Ulverstone, which will not only open a new channel for supplying this town with the excellent produce of Cumberland and West moreland, but will offer such facilities for excursion par ties, and those visiting the lakes in the ensuing season, as we trust will repay the spirit of the enterprising origi ,tators. Special trains, in connexion with the Zephyr, (the steamer appointed) will forward all passengers from Piel Pier to Dalton. and omnibuses run between Ulcer stone, Dalton, and Furnace Abbey. It is the intention of the company to provide in every way for the comfort of 'passengers, and to ensure this they , have placed the ma bagement here under the able superintendence of Messrs. Joseph Saunderson and Co., of Water-street. ASTRONOMY.—We do not consider that any apology is necessary for reminding our readers of the popular lec ture on astronomy, to be delivered, at the Music Hall, on Friday, by Mr. Fisher. All the purchasers of tickets will have the satisfaction of contributing towards the li quidation of the debt on St. Barnabas' Schools, whilst they receive much more than the value of the money in the shape of a mass of valuable and interesting informa tion conveyed in a very popular style on a branch of science with which every one should be more or less ac quainted. If it were only borne in mind for a moment to what extent those laborious and self-denying gentlemen *re public benefactors, who unlertake the toilsome and thankless (for the most part) office of establishing, con ducting, and mainta'aing National and Sunday Schools, for 500 or 600 children, in a poor and populous district, the public, we are convinced, would feel that they, after all, do but a small part in cheerfully contributing the necessary funds. Having observed so recently on the ' character of the intended lecture, and the peculiar value .and excellence of the illustrations, we content ourselves 'now with adding our suffrage also to the praiseworthy .generosity. of Mr. Fisher, in giving so cheerfully his inn *ortaut services gratuitously to such an object.

A letter from Sir John Gladstone to the Mayor, on the subject of the Meeting, was read. __ - . It was moved by ALEX. HENRY WYLIE, Esq., seconded by Wm. EARLE, Esq., And Resolved unanimously,—That this Meeting views with great rezret end dismay the proposal of the Government to ins pose additional taxes on the already overburdened people of this country. it was moved by JOHN SMITH, Esq., seconded by Mien HORNBV, Esq., And Resolved unanimously,—That this Meeting is of opinion, that the present amount of revenue (although the details are susceptible of modification) is amply sufficient, with proper economy, to meet all needful expenses, and that any addition to the public burdens ought to be resisted by every constitu tional means. It was moved by RICH/JIM Simi., Esq., seconded by Mr. Churchwarden FERGUSON, And Resolved unanimously,—That, besides being convinced that no necessity exists for increased taxation, this Meeting entertains insuperable objections against any income tax which does not include a graduated scale with respect to amounts, and also a large distinction between the incomes derived from trades or processions, and those arising from real property and other fixed sources. It was moved by CHARLES HOLLAND, -Esq., seconded by JAMES THOMSON, Esq., And Resolved unannnonsly,—That in any revision of the taxation of tne country, any deficiency of the revenue should be made up by the enactment of the legacy and probate duties upon the succession to real estates, or by such other taxes on real property, both in Great Britain and Ireland, as may be eouitable, on consideration of the taxes laid upon the indus trious classes. It was moved by THOMAS TODD, Esq., seconded by HAROLD LITTLEDALE, Esq., And Resolved unanimously,—That the following Petition be signed by the Mayor, on .behalf of this Meeting, and be pre sented to the House of Commons, and that the Members for the Southern Division of this County and the Members for the Borough be requested to support the prayer thereof : "TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of Liverpool, in Public Meeting assembled. SHOWETH,—That your Petitioners have learnt with regret and dismay the proposal of Her Majesty's Government to im pose additional Taxes on the already overburdened people of this country. That your Petitioners are of opinion that the present amount of Revenue is amply sufficient, with proper economy, to meet all needful expenditure. That your Petitioners, besides being convinced that no ne cessity exists for increased taxation of any kind, entertain in superable objections to any income Tax which is not based on a graduated scale with respect to amounts, and also a decided distinction between incomes derived from trade and profea sions, and those arising from real property and other fixed Sources. That your Petitioners, submit to your Honourable House, that in any revision of the taxation of the Country, any defi ciency of the revenue should be made up by the enactment of the legacy and probate duties upon the succession to real estates, and by such other taxes on real property, both in Great Britain and Ireland, as maybe equitable in consideration of the taxes laid upon the industrious classes. Your yetitioners, snerrore, humbly Flay, that your Trouout able House will not sanction the imposition of fresh Taxes on the people of this country, but exact a rigid economy in the national expenditure, and that in the consideration of any prolongation of the Income Tax, you will require that a gra duated scale be adopted, and that a marked distinction between incomes derived from trades and professions, and those arising from real property . and other fixed sources, should be made. And further, that in any raision of the taxation of the coun try, any deficiency of the revenue may be made up by the enactment of the legacy and probate duties upon the succession to real estates ; and by such other taxes on real property, both in Great Britain and Ireland, as may be equitable in considera tion of the taxes laid upon the Industrious Classes. And your Petitioners will ever pray. &c. T. B. HORSFALL, MAYOR."

The financial and commercial affairs of the country becoine daily more involVed in uncertainty, and transac tions in nearly every branch of trade more limited in ex tent: The public mind had scarcely recovered from the shock inflicted by the British Premier, when it was astounded by the unprecedentedly rapid revulsion of affairs which has taken place in France. It will be seen from . our quotations below, that the funds .have suffered a fearful decline ; and until further information arrives from 'the scene of action, and a more definite judgment can be formed of the probable result of this most unto ward event for the peace of Europe, we may expect a continued depression to prevail. We need ecarcely add, that this all-absorbing topic was the prevailing subject of conversation on 'Change yesterday, and that various spe culations were hazarded, which at present it would be premature to enlarge upon. The Stock Exchange pre- Sents,a gloomy appearance. Three firms are reported as being in difficulties. The SHARE MARKET on Wednesday opened more briskly, and good hopes were entertained that butter days and prices were at hand. The meetings of the large companies—the Midland, the York and North Midland, the York and Berwick, bad given the public, generally, satisfaction, arid the unsettled state et French politics alone prevented a considerable rise ; an advance did take I place, and some not inconsiderable purchases on specula tion were made on Wednesday. Thursday, or the evening of the latter day, the news reached here of the stoppage of the reform dinner; this made men hesitate, some more timid than others, " got out" of their purchases with a small loss. The news of the deposition of the French king, the destruction of the Palace Royal, &c., reached London at half-past five on Friday ; a great excitement was apparent immediately in the neighbourhood of the Stock Ex,•liane;e—t he leading brokers hail gone for the day, but those in town met with several jobbers, and all shares were offered at very considerably lower prices that those of the morning. The funds fell from 88i to 851. Paris and ;Lyons from 4 dis. to 7 dis. French Northerns from 30s. p.m. to 30 dis. Intelligence of a progressive movement having been received from Paris, during, Friday night, the fall in prices continued on Saturday. London Stork, %hid, Was on Friday 146, fell to 139. Midland from 115 to 108 ; C in o's, from 881 to 832 ; and the smaller shares, in which speculators had dealt largely,. were nearly un salcahle. In our market on the morning of Saturday, very-little business was done, and this at lower prices ; but. on the receipt of the telegraph from London at. 2 pm., the panic commenced here. London Stock fell from the morning quotation 143 to 145, to 140; the One-fourths from 5 pm. to 4 pm., and all shares were ofer d at very low prices. A special meeting of . the Stock Ex change was held to afford facilities to sellers of Stock, but only four quatations were made. YESTER DAY, prices were still lower, and we regret to state that two failures were spoken of, and hardly any business was transacted. Sellers did not appear to press stock at the ruinous prices marker', but seemed rather to desire to hold for a few days; till more certain intclligence from the continent. The following were the quotations at the AFTERNOON MEETING OF YESTERDAY :—Dover shares, 3 dis. ; Londonl-shares, 3i- prem. ; Leeds 3rds, 31 dis. • Cheshire Junctions,6ldis. 131 to 133 was off ere d f or London Stock ; Midland Stock was asked for at very low prices. A somewhat better tone was given to the market than `at the morning meeting, from the prices by telegraph up to noon, in London ; bad as they were, not being so bad as many fearer. Consols, 81,1, 81, 82, 3, 2 ; Lon don Stock, 135, 138; Midland, 105 ; North Staffords, 81, ; Old Dovers, 27. The COLONIAL MARKETS present a more lively appear ance. The sales yesterday wereaboutsoohhas. Thegrocers have taken 400 hhds. Barbadoes, at very stiff rates. The sale of foreign sugar went off well. Molasses are in good request, and little offering. For rum there is a good in quiry, and holders will not sell unless at an advance on previous prices. Demerara. 10 per cent. over proof, fetched 2s. 3d. per gallon, and 34 per cents. 3s. 3d. The demand for coffee is not so active. Tea continues very quiet ; the dealers still purchase very cautiously. The Dyewood Market is rather better. Campeacby Logwood is in fine request, both for home use and exportation. For saltpetre many buyers are to be met with. Several parcels have been withdrawn, The owners decline to sell in the present state of things. 1000 bags have been placed, at an advance of ls. per cwt.—ln London, the week, transactions have been on a small scale, but prices have generally been supported, although in the case of coffee a reduction has taken place. The sugar market, has shown signs of firmness, and nearly all that has been put forward by the importers has been taken by the trade at'previous prices, and sometimes at an advance of 6d. per cwt. Tea market firm, but not active. The termination of the indigo sales showed that the very large quantity of 8700 chests had been sold, of a total of 10,130 chests brought forward. We have very little business to report in CorroN, and, all things considered, it would be matter of surprise if we had. The demand, YESTERDAY, has been only to the extent of 2,500 bales, at :Id. below the "prices of Friday last, with an uneven market. Holders are willing sellers, but there is no forcing sales, as our market would not bear it : we should soon be nowhere as regards prices. The business done in FOREIGN WOOL during the past week -has been on a very extensive scale, chiefly in Mogador, Buenos Ayres, and Turkey, but there is not any advance in price to notice. Imports for the week : Foreign.—Monte Video, 155, Venice, 50, previously, 14,528; total, 14,733. Scotch, 454, previously, 1,685 ; total, 2,139. The market for Scotch Pig IRON was firm in the earlier part of the week at our previous quotations, the news from France has, however, operated unfavourably upon prices, which have somewhat receded, and may be quoted up to last night—delivered in Glasgow—No. 1,51 s. 6d. ; Mixed Nos., 50s. ; No. 3, 495. Since the reports of the CORN TRADE, up to Friday, which appear in another column, we have no change to notice in the prices of any article of the trade in Liver pool. In fact, up to last evening the trade was at a stand still. The probability of a continental war, and the vari ous conjectures as to how prices might be affected by such an event, has produced this stagnation. Some have gone so far as to anticipate that European holders would send as much grain as possible to England for security, and others that war prices would be demanded ; so that in the present uncertainty the trade is only in small quanti ties, for immediate consumption. In the LIVERPOOL PROVISION TRADE, yesterday in clusive, we have to report moderate arrivals of butter from Ireland, amounting to 3,810 firkins, 952 crocks. As usual at this season, dealers purchase sparingly, and con fine their transactions principally to prime qualities, which command full prices and are scarce. There is a slow trade for middling and inferior kinds, and holders, wishing to sell, are disposed to submit to a reduction.-Prime Irish Imi:on, of which 121 bales arrived last week, is in good demand.-Hams (13 hhds. arrived) a drug in the market. -Lard, 2 tierces, 20 firkins, 10 kegs arrived. Prices in Liyerpool.-Butter: Waterford, 88 . to 945. ; Kil kenny, Carlow, and Cionmel, 88s. to 925. ; Carrick, 86s. to 88s. ; Wexford, Carlow, 88s. to 89s , ; Belfast, 88s. to 925. ; Bally money and Coleraine, 86s. to 89s. ; Banbridge, 84s. to 888.; Newry and Dundalk, sOs. to 82s. ; Dublin, Carlow, 84s. to 88s.; 80s. to 865.; Londonderry, 82s. to 865.-Bacon : Long Middles, free from bone, new, 565. to 605.; Short Mid dles, do. do. 58s. to 60s. ; American, 40s. to 545.-Lard: Fine Keg, 60s. to 665. In American Provisions there has been a pretty extensive importation of Beef, 2700 tierces of which has been to a London house ; and until this is brought into the market, very high prices will be obtainable for similar parcels. New Pork is scarce, and much wanted. The market has been cleared of Old Bacon, at improving rates: New is in good demand, best qualities fetching very high prices : a great portion of the 400 boxes of Western cured offered at the public sale on Friday was sold at 465. @ 493. 6d. Hams and Shoulders are selling at the best prices holders can get offered. The import of Lard has been large, and the eagerness of holders to bring it forward to public auc tion has had a depressing effect upon buyers, and really fine quality, in kegs, has been sold at 51s. Cheese has been taken freely at an improvement. In Butter there is nothing to notice. Prices at Liverpool (duty paid): -Cheese-Fine, 4Gs to 50s per i s n s g i,e 4 , 97 i t c o m 4 e s , s 3 ; o ordinary,s to 3 l s s, to n e 3 w 9s . 88. fi o eg- ; nrainnry. no. t n as_ new tiQs to 86s : extra.

The following particulars of the TIMBER TRADE are condensed from Messrs.

The following is the most important feature of the cir cular : " Baltic timberand deals havebem entirelymeglected, through disinclination on the part of buyers to Came forward until the last reductions have taken place, which will not be carried int• effect till the bth of April. But whilst we assign this as one reason, we would earnestly and pointedly draw attention to the fact, that this branch of the timber trade, particularly in deals is being transferred. from Liverpool to Hull. This arises from the superior energy of the Hull merchants, their railway and dock committees, who assimita tetheirfreights to Manchesterand ether more proportionately lees central markets, with those of Liverpool, anti by a ereater development of railway facilities, • enable buyers to secure their purchases at less cost, and in leas time than from the Liverpool market; whilst on the other hand, the delay, ant oyances. expense, and confusion in getting w sent through the tunnel here, ant only overate to the great di minution of traffic on the line. but practically nullify the uncles taking. by entailing a local cost, which even bears comparison with what might be the entire tut , sit expense-between Liver peol and Manchester, until that !nisei - able and Confined hole at \Vanping hardly big enough for an inland town—miscalled tR stAtion—ceases to be our on'y accommodation for wood goods. Until branches of rails are placed in direct contact with the shipping and every principal dee& for merchandise in the port —until goods and wood can be transmitted with the facility of passengers and luggage, railway carat Wiry cannot be said to be fully developed; nor can our local r. th, ities anti railway man ag,ers escape the imputation of nelifyine by their s u pi neneaS and negl e ct, the edam:tag:es which Liverpool possesses as a principal port, and the great central market of the United Kingdom. These getA:cmen may reply that all this must be the work of time, and that later, sit - h improvement can be made; but we submit to their recollection, that the first rail way schemed in these parts was ieteeded f , r the transit at goods between Liverpool and Manchester. The passeneer re turns being ComparativAly little reckoned !Too as a source of revenue, and the timber trade, it was artrued, would dertve the greatest advantage from its construe ion. Surely we, who twenty years ago assisted in its format on . have some claim to see in our lifetime the nromised consummation. London is introducing the North Western Railway in connexion with the West India rocks. Are we to have our 'furniture-wood trade, whit h has already suffered sev e r e ly, as t ar as t h e neighbouring manufacturing district is concerned, Quite taken from us, as we have now lost our Baltic deal trade Clyde, Dublin: and Bristol have, we know, lost their mahogany tr :0e; and shou'd Liver pool so lose hers, it will he then too late to regret the taismats aeement which occasieeed it, or call into play energy and activity which, now exerted, would nreserve it." The excitement in the City on Friday last exceeded anything witnessed since 1830, and Consols, which opened at 884, and nominally closed at 83, fell after the regular hours of business to 84. owing to the announcement of Louis Philippe's abdication having subsequently arrived; and r,ll other securities receded 2 or 3 per cent. below the official "closing" prices. Scarcely any business done in the foreign market. The excitement, prevailing on the Stock Exchange on Saturday was intense, and the move ments of -the English • funds throughout the entire day have been most rapid and violent. Consols for money noenel at 844 to 85, whence they suddenly receded to 83. Upon a rumour that a ReL , err.v had been established in France they rose to 854. en-I when it was understood that a Provisional Governnent lv lad been formed they again fell and were quoted 84. After this they were done at 841, and at the close of the market the price was 834 to 84. After ttie r,gular hones of business . 831 was the quotation for money, and 83 to t far the:sera - milt. For Bank Stock the last -price was 194 ro 197 ; Reduced Three per Cents, 834 to 4 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, 844 to In dia Stock. 238 to 242; and Exchequer-hills (March) 17s. to 225., (June) 21s. to 255. premium.—With regard to the comparative - fluctuations at the tTo dates, 1830 and 1848, it appears that the total fall in Consols consequent upon • the three days of July was not quite 3 per cent., whilst now there is a fall, consequent en the recent disturbances, of 8 per cent, A letter from Rotterdam annquncr , s, that the Dutch Company's sales of coffee are fixed for the 3d and 6th of April. and will contain 497,579 bags. which is all that will be offered by the Co. until next spring. This is impor tant, as the Co. have hitherto always had a large autum nal sale. Advi-es from Jamaica anticipate, with respect to the 1848 sugar crop, that the deficiency from the production of former years will be very creat. The weather at To bago is stated to be peculiar for the. season of the year. and, although favourable for the• young plants, much against crop operations. Accounts have been received from Barbadoes to the 29th of January, respecting the position of the West India Bank. A meeting had been held, at which a report of a joint committee of directors and extraordinary directors had been presented stating the liabilities of the bank at S 3 435,183, and the assets, £3,564,774, after deducting £'424,587 for bad debt.. The surplus left to meet the original capital of £600,M0 would be £129,590. The committee proposed to make a call upon the proprietors of £l5 per share, and to liquidate the claims of the de positors and other creditors of the bank by instalments of 25 per cent. on the Ist Aug., 1848; 10 per cent. Ist Nov., 1848; 25 per cent. Ist July. 1849; 25 per cent. Ist July. 1850, and the remaining 15 per cent. on Ist Dec., 1850, with intarest at the rate of 4 per rent. per annum. The committee could not then see their way as to whether the hank could be resuscitated, and meanwhile proposed to do business " to such an extent as would meet their c. rrent expenses." The debt of Barion, Irlam, and Higginson was estimated at ss. in the pound. The commercial advices by the steamer from America state, that the exchange at New York was at 10 to 10} per cent., just touchiup the point at which specie could be re• mitred to advantage. In breadstuffs few purchases were being made for England, and the little demand for ton nage room at New York had sent freights down to Is. Gd. per barrel for flour. Although but few vessels compara tively had cleared for Liverpool at New Orleans, there were symptoms of increased operations in produce for this market in the additional number of vessels placed on the berth, with a slight improvement in freights ; no less than forty-two vessels being up for Liverpool on the 2d Feb ruary. in addition to those already cleared. The receipts of cottin at New Yolk up to the 9th Feb. 1848, were 9,300,403 bales, against 1,002,770 bales in the previous year, and 982,738 bales in the year before. The exports to Great Bri.ain for he fir ;-,ner.doned per;od were 222,668, for the second 248,749, and for the third 378,465. The stocks were respectively as follows : 461,584, 501,668, 378,465. The following are the official estimates from the Patent-office, in Washington, of the crops of the United states, throughout the Union, in 1847, in bushels : Indian corn, 540.000,000; wheat, 111,530,006; rye. 31,350,000; oats, 177,000,000 ; buckwheat, 11,674,000 ; barley. 5,735,000 ; potatoes, 97,018,000. This last crop (pota toes) was very much diminished in consequence of the rot. The Indian corn is- chiefly yet on hand. The to baco crop was 219,964,000 pounds, a slight diminution compared lo former years. Cotton crop, 1,0 9 6,500,000 pounds; rice, 103,400,500 pounds ; silk, 404,600 pounds of cocoons. FIRST FULL-DRESS COIsICERT OF THE PHIL HARMONIC SOCIETY. The first full-dress concert of the season of the above society was held last evening at the Collegiate Institution, which was even more fashionably and numerously at tended than usual. For this, in part, we may account by the excellence of the programme, and the eminent stand ing of the artists engaged, comprising Thalberg, Madame Llzano, Miss Bassano, Miss M. Williams, and Miss A. Williams, Signor Ciabatta, and Mr. T. Williams ; and in part to the judicious departure of the committee from the exclusiveness hitherto characterizing these concerts, b the admission of non-subscribers at a reasonable, and, considering the attractions provided, a very cheap rate. The overture, Weber's Jubilee, was very well played throughout; but the violins wanted strength. The first piece —a trio from Maritana—was a little marred in ire effect by the somewhat unsteady accompaniment of the band. Indeed, it seemed to us that the singers did not seem at home together. In. Rossini's duet, Tancredi, " Fiero incontro !" the Misses Williams sung most beau tifully, and amply justified the high encomiums which have been earned by them in their metropolitan career. The recitative was a perfect gem ' • and the cadenzas introduce& comprised novelties which had an extraordinary effect, and can only have been attained by immense study and practice together. Madame Lozano's cavatina, " Betly," from Donizetti, was most creditably given ; but the prudence of the selec tion is rather questionable, so shortly after the heads of the 'musical public have been turned by Alboni's singing of .the same piece. Had Alboni never been heard, Lozano's rendering would have been a triumph. Thalberg. We almost hesitate to speak of this unri valled maestro. The piece selected by him was a fantasia cantaining airs from Il Barbier(ldi Siviglia, which was in imitably played. The prayer from Mose in Egitto was most splendid effort ; and a most hearty and vociferous encore rewarded the close. We forget the title of the piece with which he favoured the audience, in reply to the encore. It was a rich musical treat, however, and was heartily applauded. There is a modest deportment about this great artist which raises him a host of admirers, in dependently of his extraordinary talent as a pianist. The recitative and air from Don Giovanni—" Crudele, ah no," was delightfully sung by Miss A. Williams, as was a song from Mendolsohn, •' The Violet," by Miss Bassano. duet, "The Vision," also from Mendelsohn, owed the honour which it received of an encore, chiefly to the chaste singing of the Misses Williams. Signor Ciabatta next gave a song from the music of Schubert; and if it was a fair sample of the gentleman's powers, we shall certainly have little wish to hear him again. The con cluding piece of the .first part, a trio from Sphor's Azor and Zemira, by Misses Bassano, M. Williams, and A. Williams, would have been faultless had the accompani ment of the band been in tune. We have left ourselves little space to remark upon the second part, the gems of which were Thalberg's Fantasia from Giovanni, Madame Lozano's Boleros, very exqui sitely sung, and "Tell oh my heart,"—Balfe—which woe delightfully given by Miss A. Williams. On the whole we never listened to a concert of this society more worthy of the approval of the musical critic, or which seemed to give more general satisfaction to the crowded audience. Thalberg was encored in his Fantasia Brillante, in the second part, as were Madame Lozano and the overture of William Tell, by the band. STREET ROBBERY.—Yesterdav, at the police-cotta, three men, Robert and Edward Banks, t both well known to the police, and Thomas Carroll, were charged by a man named Martin Iloy with knocking him down in an entry in Cockspur-street, and tearing off his pockets, containing several shillings, Szc., with which they made off. They were committed for trial at the sessions. ROYAL AMPHITLIEATRE. — This evening is the last of the appearance of M. Dejean's unrivalled company of talented equestrians. There is but this one opportunity left for the public of Liverpool to visit the Amphitheatre, as it is impossible that he willbe again able to visit this coun try. The past week has amply proved that the performances have lost.nothing of their attraction, for the houses have been numerously and respectably attended. In taking have of M. Dejean and his company, which we do with considerable regret, we cannot but observe that he has succeeded in giving a higher taste for circus performances. We are aware that he must have been at considerable ex pense in bringing so extensive an establishment to this country; but we hope that his enterprise in crossing oar channel has, as far as this town is concerned, answered Lis expectations, and received that substantial proof of reward which is justly his due. • We believe he is gratifies by the reception he has had, and the company generally sensible of the attention whicla has been paid them.
