TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Allow me to make a few observations in your jour nal on the subject of cheap Butchers' meat. There is at present a great outcry relative to this matter, and it is a subject on which the public have naturally a very interested feeling ; but that feeling, as at present existing, is somewhat prejudicial to the respectable vendor of meats, who is obliged to have a first-rate article for the supply of bis customers. The present mania about cheap provisionf.bas been mainly brought about by the anticipated importations of live stock from the continent of Europe, and saltej provisions from America. Of the former, sufficient time has not been allowed for the butcher or the public to reap any benefits, as the foreign live cattle imported into the United Kingdom since the passing of the tariff up to the present period, amounts to less than one week's consumption for the metropolis alone ; and the latter article having come forward of such a wretch edly bad quality and description, that whatever the price may be—(even should a better article be imported)—it is not calculated to supply the place of fresh provisions in this country. The reduction in the value of cattle does not warrant the extraordinary low prices expected by the public, which I shall point out by referring to the weekly published state ments of the cattle markets. At the Liverpool markets the quotations were : On the 12th Dec., 1841. On the 12th Dec., 1842. Best Beef 61(1 Best Beef ..... 6d Middling&lnferiornd to 44d. Middling &Inferiorsd to 4d. Best wetherMuttonid Best wether Mutton6id Ewe ditto 6d Ewe ditto fild to 41d At Smithfield market, at London, of which a correct re port appears weekly in the Mark-lane Express, the prices were : On the 12th December, 1841, Prime Beef 4s 2d to 4s 8d per Blbs. Prime Scot Beef Second Quality 3s 10d to 4s Od „ Coarse and Inferior ..3s 4d to 3s 8d ~ On the 12th December, 1842. Prime Beef Prime Scot Beef 4s 4d to 4s 8d „ Second Quality _ _ Coarse and inferior 3s 2d to 3s 4d showing a reduction on fine quality of meats of less than id., and on middling and inferior qualities of about ld to lid per lb—the difference on the lower quality being greater in pro portion in consequence of the quantity of diseased beasts just now slaughtered, arising from an epidemic which is prevalent amongst cattle. and which, although not to be detected after being killed, is such that no respectable dealer would offer it to his customers, nor is the number of fine quality of beasts this season equal to the foiegoing, which will account for the slight difference in the value betwixt the present price and the price this time last year, and which also causes it to be more sought after; for, at the Liverpool Cattle Market on Monday last, out of 1,480 beasts on sale, there were only about 200 of fine quality, nearly half of which were bought by dealers for the London market, where also the same de fects in the production of fine meat are apparent. But it is observable, that in all meat markets there is no scarcity of quantity, although there is of quality, which causes the value of middling and inferior (and therefore detrimental to the dealer in fine meat) to be less than last year, not only in consequence of the large quantity of inferior and diseased meat killed, but also the large quantity of cheap descriptions of food, &c. at present in the market. Another disadvantage which the family butcher labours under is, the reduced value of the rough and boiling pieces of the prime meat having to be brought into competition with the abun dance of the other sorts as before noted ; so that those fami lies being served at an average price, if paying not more than the reduction noted in the live stock markets, are sup plied on better terms than at the corresponding period, last year, when it was admitted that the retailer was not getting more than a reasonable remuneration, and who, conse quently, is not now in the position to make those great re ductions expected by the public, unless by resorting (which it is feared in many instances is now the case) to a worse quality or a bad description, in order to secure himself from loss, or loss of customers. It is only to point out the real facts of the case that the subscriber brings this matter before the public.

TO meet the multiplied and increasing demands of the the time, this firmly established and undeviating Advo cate of the Constitution in Church and State, will, at the commencement of the New Year, be extended from its pre sent size of TWELVE, to SIXTEEN PAGES. This large additional space will afford room for the variety of matter now looked for by the Subscribers to a Weekly Journal, and will make the JOHN BULL a complete FAMILY and DOMESTIC as well as POLITICAL NEWSPAPER. This change will produce no alteration in the long known, distinctive, and approved features of the Paper. Its Miscel laneous contents will be enlarged; but all its leading charac teristics will be retained. It has been objected that JOHN BULL is rather a Political Pamphlet than a Newspaper. The design of increasing its columns is to obviate this objec tion. There will be an addition of General News ; in every other respect it will remain the same—the same in its un flinching principles, its opposition to unnecessary innovation, its devotion to the Altar and the Throne—the same in its means of ascertaining the feelings which prevail in the high est circles—the same in its opportunities of obtaining the most accurate political information—in short, the same in all those qualities which have won for it the most distin guished support from the hour it was commenced to the present time—a period of nearly a quarter of a century. These remaining the same, neither expense nor exertion will be spared to make the Paper, in every respect, a faithful mirror of all passing events at home and abroad. In its new form the JOHN BULL will be one of the very largest Con servative Papers in the Kingdom ; and as its columns will contain ample room for every variety of intelligence, Eccle siastical, Political, Agricultural, Commercial, Literary, Theatrical, Artistic, and Fashionable, arrangements have been completed to make each department full, accurate, and perfect. . . --- The first number of the Paper in its increased size will ap pear on Saturday, January 7th, 1843. An early Edition will, as usual, be published in time for Saturday's post ; and the Monday's Edition (containing the London and Provincial Corn and Cattle Markets, Commercial and Agricultural Reports, &c. &c.,) will continue to be published in the Af ternoon of that day. The price will continue as heretofore, 6d.—Orders received at the Office, 40, Fleet-street, London; and the Paper may be procured by order through any Bookseller or News vendor. TO ALL WHO HAVE CONSERVATORIES, GREEN HOUSES, AND GARDENS. Saturday, January 7, will be published, price Sixpence, stamped to go free by post, TIIE FIRST NUMBER FOR 1843 OF riIHE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE; 1. a Weekly Record of Rural Economy and General News. THE HORTICULTURAL PART EDITED BY PROFESSOR LINDLEY. Such has been the success of " THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE" that it has already a sale far beyond any contemporary of a like character—a sale which has gone on progressively increasing from the commencement. This fact, gratifying as it is from the Proprietors, will only stimu late them to further exertions ; AND THEY, THEREFORE, MERELY REFER TO THE PAST AS AN EARNEST OF THE FUTURE, and announce for the information of the piiblic generally the nature of the Publication. THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE IS, in the first place, a weekly record of everything that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboriculture, or Garden Botarn, and such Natural History as has relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of all works of importanceihn such subjects. Connected with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS OF GARDENING OPERATIONS given in great detail, and adapted to the objects of persons in every station of life ; so that the Cottager with a few rods of ground before his door, the Amateur who has only a greenhouse , and the Ma nager of extensive gardens, are alike informed each week of the routine of operations which the varying seasons render necessary. It moreover contains very extensive Foreign and Domestic Correspondence upon Horticultural subjects— Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings at home and abroad—Notices of Novelties and Improvements— in short, everything that can tend to advance the profession, benefit the condition of the workman, or conduce to the pleasure of his employer, all accompanied with Woodcuts, whenever the matter treated of requires that mode of illus tration. Replies to all questions connected with the object of the Paper are also given weekly in great detail. And al though the Paper is not, strictly speaking, an Agricultural Journal, yet it contains full Reports of the Proceedings of the Royal Agricultural Society, and much valuable informa tion upon the more interesting subjects of discussion in this branch of inquiry. IN THE SECOND PLACE, that description of domestic and political News is introduced which is usually found in a Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head further than to say, that the Proprietors do not range them selves under the banners of any party; their earnest endea vours are to make THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a full and comprehensive Record of Facts only—a Newspaper in the true sense of the word—leaving the reader to form his own conclusion and opinions : their object being the elucidation and discussion of the laws of Nature, not of man. The reader is thus furnished, IN ADDITION TO THE PECULIAR FEATURE OF THE JOURNAL, with such a variety of informa tion concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the ne cessity of his providing himself with any other Weekly London Paper. Each year commences a new Volume, and is complete in itself. A Prospectus, with List of Contributors, may be had on application, or by letter, at the Office, 3, Charles-street, Covent-garden, London. Parties intending to commence with the New Volume had better give their orders at once to any Newsvendor. Ergal 41. 0 ttrts.

The testimonials and kind recommendations of many distinguished personages in Parliament remove any doubts of its efficacy, and it is the first and only article for similar use ever sanctioned by Go vernment. The increasing demand will meet every attention. The VEGETABLE SOAP is also highly esteemed for its emollient properties, and has an equal claim to preference, in preventing the hands chopping, &c.

Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. , The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SEtnuTz Pow')%Rs is peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skin with great accu racy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. =ln this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would exp er i en ce great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &o. from the Face, thi s Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high re putation of this prep ara ti on has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c : The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist inits extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation, COINS AND MEDALS IUR.

By the laws of the Society, regulating the distribution of the Sur plus Funds, Additions fall to be made to the Policies at each period of Investigation, in proportion to the amount assured, and the number of annual premiums previously paid ; and a Contingent Prospective Addition is also declared to meet the case of persons dying between two periods of investigation, such Contingent Prospective Addition being calculated in proportion to the number of annual premiums paid during the interval, not only on the Sum Assured, but also on the Vested Additions previously declared. Parties dying within five years after the date of their Assurances receive no Addi tions, any order previously made for Additions to such Poli cies becoming thereby vacated; but in the event of the par ties survivinc , years, the period of fi v e the Additions previ ously declared take full effe c t f r om the date of the Policy. ..., . The next Periodical Investigation takes place on the Ist of January, 1846. On application, Parties may convert their Bonus Additions into an equivalent Deduction from their future annual Pre miums, or may receive the value of their Additions in ready Money. The Directors are empowered to grant Loans to Members, on the security of their Policies, to the extent of nine-tenths of their value at the time, provided such proportion of the value shall not be less than £5O.

I was in possession of a£s Bank of England ote, marked and numbered 10 67,7Bl,dated 2d Aug , 1842; also marked, correctly, Mr. Matt. Marshall, and stamped, in a circle, Pockliogton and Co., London. I went to the Bank of Eng land, in Hanover-street, Liverpool, to obtain payment of it in current coin, on Tuesday, 20th December, 1842. They would not change it for me, but dishonoured your promissory, by refusing to chance it, although it is and was a legal note of £5 of the Bank of England. Therefore, I hope, Gentlemen and Bankers, you will be kind enough to keep your promis sory notes from me in future, and let me have gold for gold and silver for silver. I have the pleasure, Gentlemen, Of being, yours most respectfully, JOHN SHARKEY, Formerly of Newry, and now a freeman of England No. 111, Tithebarn-street.

ECENT events have awakened so general a f ee li ng o f IV the momentous importance of securing a protection from fire to Deeds, Records, MSS., Books and Papers of Accompt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all Combustible Materials, that THOMAS MILNER and. BON feel excused in again inviting public notice to their PATENT FIRE RESISTING DEPOSITORIES. Having sutifsltted their one-chambered Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prin cipal towns, they have received from the authorities of each the most satisfactory certificates of their efficiency for ordi nary casualties ; and, being confirmed in their opinion by a ong course of experiment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle of their Patent is capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit the consideration of gentlemen interested in mechanical science to the subject generally, 'and investiga tion into the pretensions of the various means of security in use, their own amongst the rest. M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail able. The Certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in Liverpool bears the signatures of the following gentlemen, to whom permission of reference is kindly given : THOMAS BOLTON, Esq. (ea-Mayor.) JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq. (ex-Mayor.) Sir THOMAS BRANCKER• BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, ESQ. L. GRAHAM, Esq. R. FRODSHAM, Esq. WM. STOCK, Esq. S. WOODS, jun., Esq. In addition to the above, Milner and Son draw attention to the following statements : A trial of 3lilner's Patent Fire Resisting Safes and Boxes having been announced by cards, issued to 500 of the scien tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned from the Royal Dublin Society's premises, on account of alterations in progress thereon, took pl ace a t the Rotundo Gardens, October 7th, 1812. The fire, consisting of half a ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling, was lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled with papers, &c., in the centre. The whole were examined by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate were placed inside. Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed ngs, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the opening crevices of the burning cas k most severely exposed. little before three o'clock, 'Dr. Meyler, with whom the keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the box, and its contents, including several parchments with seals attached, were found to be perfectly safe. At half-past four o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat. It was again replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours trial, al though the outer cell was red hot, the inner one and contents, on being opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq.. H. Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner, Trouton, &c., were still as fresh and perfect as when placed in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma terials in ordinary fires.

The Box was filled with papers, circulars, books, and old ledgers; in addition to which, Mr. Wenden, the repre sentative of the patentees, placed his watch inside ; the whole were examined by the gentlemen present, and were locked down by " Hernn H. C. Bleeker, 68, Admiralitiitistrasse." The fire was composed of upwards of seven cwt. of coal, and a considerable quantity of wood, oaken slabs, and other com bustibles, solely under the superintendence of Mr. Thomp son, Manager of the Globe Foundry Iron Works. The Box was placed in the fire. and there allowed to remain for one hour and a half, during the chief of which time it was of a white heat. Much curiosity was excited respecting the watch ; but on opening the box, it was perfectly safe, and going a true es when deposited—thewhole contents were also pre served, ineludinl he document cn which this esrtifisete is written.
