MESSRS. PERRY and Co., SURGEONS, may be- per sonally consulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at Night, and on Sundays from Nine till Tsso, at No. 23, SLATER-STREET, near Duke-street, Liverpool, (private entrance first door up the passage :) No. 2. Bale street, Lower Mosley-street, near to St. Peter's Church, Marichetier, and N 0.4, Great Charles-street, Binningham: of whom may had (gratis) with each box of pills their Treatise en Venereal Disease, Gonorrhsea, Gleets, and Stricture, in cluding Practical Observations on Seminal Weakness, arising from early abuses, so that all persons can obtain au immediate Cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Ve nereal Disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate € , leets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases,—gonorrhcea, glee's, strictures, seminal weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages. frequently performing. a perfect, cure in the short space of three days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secresy, and safety. The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the differ ent functions of the body, expelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery., They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, witlyiut the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist. it will be well to have recourse 'to the Specific Pills,. for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their studies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indis criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a ititmerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sores. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all diseases arising from an impure state of the blood: These Pills are worthy a place in the cabinets of masters and captains of ships. the more so, as they will keep good in all climates any length of time. Letters from the country, post-paid, containing a remittance fos medicine, will be immediately answered. 23, SLATER-STREET.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—THunsnAv. The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition respecting the decent interment of the remains of those paupers whose bodies had been subjected to diseCtion. The motion that it be referred to the poor laws committee was resisted by Lords Randor, Wharuciiffe, and Melbourne, on the ground that it was more levelled at the Anatomy act than the Poor Laws Amendment act, and the motion was therefore eventually withdrawn. The Bishop of ExicrEtt inquired whether it was the intention of the government to proceed this session with the measures recommended by the church commissioners? Lord MELBOURNE answered in the affirmative. The Earl of Ripon moved for an account of the expenses of the Malta commission, which, after an extended and desultory discussion, in which the Duke of 'Wellington, &c., took part, was ordered. Their lordships then adjourned. • against any Poor Relief Bill for Ireland, which should secure support t o r a ble- hodted persohs. The Earl of WINCHILSEA gave notice of his intention to move for a copy of the correspondence . between the Lord- Lieutenant of Ilertfordshire, and the home secretaty, relative to the reduction of the yeomanry cavalry. Earl STANHOPE presented several petitions front mianufac turing districts for the repeal of the Poor Laws Amendment act. The committee on the Custody of Insane Persons I Ireland) bill was deferred at the request of the Earl of Wicklow, as he - objected to the power given by the bill to magistrates, and wished to learn from Ireland the opinion on that subject. Lord LORTON directed attention to publications that had ap peared, signed by a Roman Catholic as "Archbishop of Tuam ;" and inquired whether the government intended to institute any ',proceedings for the vindication of tho law, as such desetiption was contrary to the provisions of the Roman Catholic Relief bill? . . . Lord MELBOURNE answered that it was not intended to insti ite any proceedings fur the recovery of the penalties named iu the act to which reference had been made. The Earl of W lex Low considered that the answer was most discreditable, and that it proved the government to .be afraid to execute the law.—Adjourned. 'HOUSE OF .COMMONS.—FRIDAY. Captain PECHEI.I„ having presented a petition from Brigh ton, complaining of outrageous conduct on a British subject, in the destruction of his nets by French fishermen, gave notice that unless Lord Palmerston gave assurances that he was en deavouring to secure redress from the French government for such grievance, he would bring the whole -question of British fisheries before the house. Lord JOHN RUSSJLL stated, in answer to Lord Ashley's in quiry, that it was intended to introduce into-the new bill re garding factories, clauses on the subject of education. The house afterwards resolved into committee on the Bene fices Pluralities bill, the desultory discussions in which occupied most of the remainder of the sitting. Several amendments to clauses were proposed, and several division took place. Adjourned. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MONEY MARKET. (From the Sunday Times.) CITY, SATURDAY.-1t is highly satisfactory to be enabled at length to state, which we do with some degree of .confidence, that an improvement has taken place, not only in the wholesale, but in the retail departments of trade. The favourable change which has occurred in the weather, has induced a general iieti vity in the latter which must soon work a material influence upon the state of things in the manufacturing districts. The commencement of what is called the "spring trade," though delayed much beyond its usual period, will, it is now confidently anticipated, show a very important increase over the transac tions of the same time last year. For the principal export staple articles of commerce, the Unproven* which has taken place this week is not by any means so general as in the home markets, but here there has been much more confidence dis played, especially in British and foreign produce. Tbe intelligence from the United States received to as late a date us the 10th ult., is of considerable importance, and is con firmatory of the opinion we have expressed on previous occa sions, that the Bank, of which Mr. Biddle is the managing di rector, would not resume specie payments. on the 15th of this month, conformably to the intentions of the Bank of the City and state of New York. In a very long and able letter addres sed by this gentleman to John Quincy Adams, he states his reasons why it would be impossible for the Bank, if they re sumed the liquidation of their notes in gold, tomeet the demand for specie for any considerable period, hence rendering another suspension inevitable. The most important point adduced illustrative of the opinion is, that the executive is resolved to carry out the principles of the celebrated Treasury Circular which was issued by General Jackson before he quitted the pre sidential chair. With the prospect that the government would exact specie for all sales of land and bonds outstanding, the Banks would soon be drained of all their bullion, and a worse state of things Mr. Biddle considers would follow, than is now actually experienced throughout America. The United States Bank will not, therefore, resume specie payments on the 15th instant, and should those of New York do so, it will be a short time only, and with the view of securing their charters. This is an unfortunate state of things, and will retard very materially the re-commencement of any general activity in commerce in America, and consequently rendering our intercourse with that country, for some months longer, extremely unproductive. The state of Virginia had passed a law relieving the Banks of that State from the disabilities caused by the non-resumption of specie payments. A similar course, no doubt, will be followed by the legislatures of other States. The quotations of the British Securities showed a disposition to decline easily in the week, for which it is hardly possible to assign any good cause. There have, it is true, again been cir culated reports of differences between her Majesty and the Pre mier, upon the subject of creating certain peers at the approach ing coronation; as well as assertions that some noble members of the upper branch of the legislature have expressed their de termination to offer passive resistance to the Cabinet, if too many of the aspirants for distinction are admitted to bear coro nets; in other words, that if any desire is shown to "swamp" the antigovernment party in the Lords, that they will not vote for the measures of Lord Melbourne and his colleagues. To these rumours may be added as accounting for the dull state of the Consol Market, a fear that the probable adjustment of the Belgic question is as far off as ever. The value of Consols for money has been reduced from 93 to 93i, and for Account from 93% to 93%. The prices at the close of business yesterday afternoon were, however, rather higher. 14 , r the Three-and-a- Halt per Cents there has been some demand, at 100; for the_ Three-and-a-Half per Cents Reduced, at 1002 %; and for the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents, at 101% X. East India. Stock nas risen to 271; but Bank of Englaud Stock has been very heavy for some days past, at from '205 to 2051. The pre mium upon Exchequer Bills was yesterday quoted at 725., and of India Bonds at 80s. The Portuguese, the Northern, the Belgian, and the Dutch Securities have been in fair demand this week, but, with the exception of the first-mentioned, very little variation has taken place in the prices. Portuguese Stock declined about It to 2 pe'r cent. a day or two since, but from what cause it is rather difficult to imagine, as the advices received from Lisbon to the 26th ult. are of a favourable character, the ministry having been reinforced by parties who are tried friends to the liberal cause. The lowest price of the Five per Cents was 311, and of the Three per Cents, 21i ; but upon these rates an advance has since occurred from 11 to 11 percent. The business done in Spanish Stock this week has been trifling. The highest price has been 204, and th e l owes t 20g . French Five per Cents. have not rallied upon the value of last week; the Five per Cents are quoted at 107 f. 50c., and the Three per Cents at 81f. Exchange, 25f. 50c. The prices of the Republican Stocks re main very nearly the same as noticed in our summary of this day week—viz., Mexican, at from 27: to 28; Colombian, at from 271 to 271; and Brazilian, at from 751 to 761. The shares ofseveral new Asphalte' Companies have been added to the list of those in the market, but only one or two of them are likely to succeed. The shares of Claridge's Patent are still in demand, and have advanced from 141 to 16 1 , or 14 1 pm. The Polonceau Shares have not vet been issued, but have been sold at 2or 3 pm. Those of the Bastenne and Gaujac Company have recovered from 21 to 4.1 pin. per share. The shares of the United States Company (Claridges's) have not yet been circulated, but they are worth 2 and 3 pm. The shares of the North American and %Vest Indian Company are worth Ito I pui. for the coming ont. The Railway Shares have been sold at rather heavy prices this week. The Birmingham and Derby have fetched but 27, or 3 dis.; the London and Birming ham at 173, or 83 pin.; the new shares, 31, or 26 pin. ; the Great Western, 94, or '29 pm.; the Brighton, at 92, or 11 pm.; the Southampton (ole), 46, or 4 dis.; the Greenwich, 161, or dis.: the Croydon, 171, or dis.; the North Midland, 411, or 61 pm ; the Black wall, 71, or 21 put. ; and the Man chester and Leeds, 34, or 52 pm.'These were the lowest prices of the week. Most of the shares were better yesterday afternoon. For Banking Shares the demand is not brisk. However, the British North American Bank Shares have reached 23, or 3 prem. per share. H ALF•PA ST TWELVE.—The official statement of the Batik of England's assets and liabilities for the quarter ending the 4th inst , exhibit the following, results.:—the circulation on the weekly average has been increased to £19,084,000, or £87,000 more than in the previous quarter. The deposits have fallen off from £11,262,000 to £11,006,000. The securities in the hands of the Bank are reduced from £22.838,000, to £22.768.000; and the stock of Bullion is stated at £10,002,000, or £124,000 below the average weekly sum in hand during the former qUarter. In the undivided prigits (or Rest) of the Bank, there has been an increase of £3.7000; this item stands at £2,715,000, by the present return. 'lt aprears from this statement, that the Bank of England, as well as the private Banks of England, are increasing their circulation of note s . Ship letters have come to hand from Bombay, but they are of a much earlier date than those previously received. We have no other advices of interest from any part of the world. _ The English Stock Market is steady at about the closing quotations of yesterday. Consols for Account realize 93a, and for Money the same. Exchequer Bills are at 72, and India Bonds at 80 pm. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents are worth 10P- 4 . In the Po reign Market Spanish Consols are at 201, Portu guese New Bonds at 331, Brazil Stock at 76, and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents at 54. The Asphalte Shares are in demand again to-day, Claridge's at 141, the Bastenne at 2, and the Liverpool Asphalte at 21 premium. Great Western Railway Shares fetch 29, and the Birmingham 54 premium. The other Shares remain without Iteration STEAM TO NEW YORK. THE GREAT WESTERN AND SIRIUS. By the particulars stated in the following letter, which has appeared in the Shipping Gazette, it will be seen that the rate of progress of the Great Western has been considerably more rapid thad.that of her rival:— " Great Western Steam Ship Office, Bristol, 19, Trinity-street, April 30th. Sir,—l'revions to the sailing of the Sirius, a statement of her having outsteamed the Great Western, in the Thames, on a trial which never took place, appeared in the Morning erald, and the' Globe, at the very moment passengers would have been influenced by the same, and as letters from the Commander ( Hoskins) and others, stating the real facts, were not inserted, I am induced, as the moment approaches for their return, to take this method of guarding against similar practices, and of upholding the interests of the Company I represent. " The Sirius appears to have been spoken with on the 7th inst, tong. 17; 10th, in long. 25; and on the 14th, in long. 37. The Great Western on the 15th, in long. 32. (1 drop the mi nutes and latitudes in both cases.) "On the 7th the Sirius was in 17 deg., and on the Bth, when the Great Western started from Kingsroad {in long. 3,) sup ber to have been in 20 or 21 deg., or in other words, to pose e e accomplished' 17 or 18 degrees of the GO that lay before her, when the Great Western commenced her voyage of 71 de grees. On the 14th, the Sit ins is rep orted in tan g . 37 ; allowin g , her another day's work upon her average, she would be in 40 d e ,/ on the 15th, the same day the Great Western is re p otted to have been spoken in 32 deg. Thus, then. the latter had gained about ten degrees upon the former, and had made good '29 deg. of the long. in seven days; and the Sirius had made good the same number in ten days. It is true the Great western escaped the Saturday's portion of the northwesterly gale which continued to blow when she started on Sunday, and that the Sirius encountered it. " My attention has been drawn to an advertisement in your columns, which is in the form of a circular, :furs been liberally distributed, drawing comparisons, as I conceive, detriment a l to the good name which justly belongs to the engines of the Great Western, because Mr. Hall's condensers are not on board. In all matters connected with the engine -room the Di rectors have been guided by engineering advice, and althouh I am aware many points are to be considered besid es the speed and regularity of the same performance, if one may form an opinion from the rapid progress of the ship under most unfavour. able circumstances (judging bv the reports of the weather since she sailed) it would appear they have been discreetly counselled. "It is intended the Great Western should again sta r t f rom Bristol on the `pith of May, the advertisement touching which will be sent you in due time.

Committees were appointed, on ballot, to try the merits of the Bedford (borough), and Waterford city election petitions. Sir E. KNATCHRULL having presented petitions from places in Kent for the amendment of the Poor Law Aniendment act, - Lord JOHN RussELL was understood to intimate that it was his intention to introduce, in the course of the session, a bill to amend some parts of that act. Several petitions having been presented on' - the subject of church property. Lord J. RUSSELL, previously to entering upon the discussion regarding poor-rates, said that he wished to remove an impres sion that it was the intention of the government to promote the reduction of the yeomanry corps w►thin a short period. No such intention had been avowed; though, he addect, in answer to Sir R. Peel's remarks, that he considered a militia force, or a regular force, more desirable than the yeomanry, especially where there might be disturbances. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved the appointment of a select committee " to inquire into the mode of granting and renewing leases of landed and other property of the bishops, deans, and chapters, and other ecclesiastical biidies of England and Wales; and into the probable amount of any increased value which might be obtained by an improved management, with a due consideration of the interests of the Established Church and of the present lessees of such property." It led to an extended discussion. Mr. LIDDELL met the motion with a direct negative, as did Sir E. INGLI s, who declared that there was no unite right to alienate the church property, than there was to interfere with private property. Sir L. PEEL also spoke powerfully against the course pursued by the government, asking whether any man could believe that the committee was asked for a view of finding a substitute for church rates? He condemned the course as an evasion o f. the duty of the executive, pushing the responsibility on a committee. He also contended, if there were a surplus, that it ought to be used for spiritual objects. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then closed the debate with a speech the exact bearing of which it was, as usual, dif ficult to ascertain. The division took when, in a house 518 members, ministers obtained a m a j orit y of 36. place immediately after , '4 The house again divided on an amendment of Mr. LtDDELL, hich which was the effect of applying any surplus to th e increase of church accommodation, or increasing the salar ies of clerg y men, was negatived by a majority of II ; the numbers being, forthe amendment, 254—against it, 265. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—Fittnitv. The Marquis of LON DONDERRY inquired whether the govern ment intended to adopt any steps to effect the adjustment of the claims of those unfortunate British subjects who had been in the service of Spain ? • Lord MEt.nounNE answered that the government would, as •in duty bound, make every effort to effect the speedy payments of such claims. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY expressed himself satisfied with the answer, and said he only hoped that the government would be strong enough to enforce those just claims. The Earl of Wtcluow. and other peers presented Dion MISCELLANEOUS. Sir George /Clerk was ele.-ted Member of Parliament for Stamford, on Tu.,sday last, without opposition. The Whigs did not venture to show fight. It is Lady Catherine Harcourt, eldest daughter of the Earl of Liverpool, for several years the int►mate friend of her Ma jesty, who will, it is said, be created an English Peeress at the Corunatioo.—Heratl. LARGE LAMB —On the 11th of April a cross-bred ewe; be longing to Mr. John Harrison, of Moor Houses, near Warcop, yeaned a lamb of the extraordinary length of '2 feet, 91 inches Crum the nose to the tip of the tail; 1 foot 6 inches in height, and weighing 131bs.—Corlisle Patriot. The Bishop of Peterborough has promoted Archdeacon Strong to the vacant prebendal stall in that cathedral. The venerable dignitary is above SO years of age. The Hon. and Right Rev. Dr. Percy, Lord Bishop of Carlile, has presented the Rev. Edward Salkeld, A.M., minister of Trinity Church, Carlile, to the vicarage of Aspatria, vacant by the death of the, late much esteemed vicar, the Rev. Edward Thompson. On Sunday last, the Rev. Chas. Hawkins, B. C. L. Canon Residentiary, was instituted to the Vicarage of Stillingfleet, to which he had been presented by the Dean and Chapter. A matrimonial alliance between the second son of Lord Can terbury and Miss Thotupson, daughter of an opulent Norfolk family, is likely to take place in May. The Times announces the formation of a lay association for the defence of the church; the right to membership costing an annual subscription of one guinea, or donation of ten guineas. Both the literary and political world are looking forward with much eagerness to the forthcoming correspondence, and other confidential papers of the great Lord Chatham, Among other articles of extreme curiosity, it will comprise one or two original letters of Junius.

THE 'GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAI..—The Triennial Festival of the Hereford, Gloucester, and Worcester choirs, takes place the second week in September. Grisi and Lablacl:e are engaged. From Lord John Russell's statement, it is to be presumed that the Irish Municipal Cot poration Bill is to be put off for th e present session; or, in other words, is to be postponed sine die Oae of the sons of Mr. Leigh Hunt, and the eldest son of Mr. Sheridan Knowles, have been appointed to cle►kships in the General Register Office. CAUTION TO PUBLICANS.—At the Bolton sessions, a quan tity of spirituous liquors, which had been taken from various public-houses iu Bolton, for being snore than 17 per cent. under proof, was condemned by the magistrates. At Newmarket First Spring Meeting, on Tuesday, the 2000 anineas stakes were won by Lord G. Bentinck's gr. c. Gray Moinus (ridden by J. Day), beatingo3y length, Mr. Thorn hill's Stanton, and Lord Suffield'sßamboo. MORE COMMISSIONERSHIPS.—A committee of Privy Coun cil met yesterday to consider the Manchester charter. Their Lordships determined to send down two commissioners to in vestigate the statements for and against the charter. Globe. A letter from Portsmouth states, that on the evening of Lord Durham's arrival at Portsmouth, his Lordship and family dined at one table and his staff at another, in the sense room, and at the same hour! We suppose we shall soon hear of Lord Durham reviving the old custom of arranging his guests above and below the salt-cellar. GREAT SPEED.—The steam-boat Ben Franklin; lately ar rived at Cincinnati, from 'Wheeling, (400 miles) in twenty hours. It averaged sixteen miles per hour, including stoppages, and is the first that ever performed the distance within the day. —New York Herald. A JONATHANISM —A cat, belonging to a widow, sat lately upon half-a-dozen duck eggs, and continued her attentions-un til the eggs were hatched; and there is now to be seen a fine brood of six young ones, half duck and half cat, having duck's heads and cat's tails ; and what is still more wonderful, they mew and quack alternately. THE CORONATION.—The Gazette of Tuesday last contains a proclamation, fixing the coronation for Thursday, the 28th of June, instead of the 26th, as previously announced. GA LLANTRY.—A sailor who had spent nearly all his days on the blue waters, and knew little of land gear, came ashore the other day, and in passing up a street saw a little women going along with a large muff before her; he stepped up very politely, and offered to carry it for her as he was going the same way. DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION.—A young lady intending to sue for breach of promise, put her lover's letter into a bag for the purpose of producing them in court, when, sad to tell, -heir own natural warmth produced spontaneous combustion, and ashes alone remained.—Front the American Papers. WHISKEY PUNCH.—" Put iii the spirits first," says his riv'- rence, " and then put in the sugar ; and, remember, every dhrop of wather you put in after that spoils the punch."—Black wood. IN - TIME OF PEACE PREPARE FOR WAR.—On Cape Cod, as soon as a young woman is engaged to be married, she suffers her finger nails to grow long, so that in case she should be obliged to throw herself on her reserved rights, she may come to the scratch with some prospect of success. WHAT'S IN A NAME ?—The only bank in North America ' (says the Albany Journal), which has not yet within the current year suspendedlthe payment of specie, is the" Niagara Suspen sion Bridge Bank. NEWSPAPER LEADING ARTICLES.—Madame de Stael lived, land may be said to have died, in the belief that revolutions were effected, and countries geverned, by a succession, of clever pamphlets. This is very near the truth. The powerful news papers of the day, with what is called the leading article, are nothing more than a succession of clever pamphlets. It is said that thsee newspapers in France effected the revolution of July, 1850. —Memoirs of Sir Wm. Knighton. • BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—Iu addition to the munificent dona- lions of i:500, presented respectively by the Duke of Northum berland and the Coal Trade Committee, in aid of the funds of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the next meeting of which body will be held at Newcastle, John Hodgson 1-linde, Esq. M.P. and William Ord, Esq. M.P. have also each given .1:50 towards the saute object. It is understood, that the Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, the Trinity House, and other influential bodies will show a becoming spirit of liberality on an occasion so deserving the patronage of the ailluent. It is estimated, that about £2OOO will be required. FAVOURABLE TO MATIIIMONY.—Mr. Falret, in his estimate of suicides in Paris, for thirty years, says, " Of the 6782 persons who attempted suicide, only 1,695; or about one-fourth, were living in the state of legitimate marriage; and, when we con sider how small, comparatively, -the number of the unmarried is at those periods of life at, which the act is generally commit ted, it may be inferred, that the proportion of suicides among persons living single, is ten times as great. as among those who are married." It is remarkable, that no woman ever killed her self from misanthropy. PILRILS OF THE SE.—The vessels, principally American, re ported in 18.37 to have been totally lost, were 94 ships and baiques; 136 brigs, 234 schooners, 1 2 sloops, and 15 steam-boats, making a total of 4201 The lives reported to be lost number 1,295, of which 28 men were lost in January; 54 in February, 24 in. March, 30 in April, 12 in May, 16 in June, 42 in July, 50 in August, 32 in September; 43 in October, 43 November, and 6 in December. More than one vessel a total loss, and more than three lives lost at sea every day.—New York Herald. We understand that the sum of £2OOO. has been paid to Capt. Rees, of the Star steam-packet, as a reward to himself and crew for the manly and perilous exertions they made in saving the Estrabaud, of Greenock, and towing her into Kingston Har bour. The cargo saved is said to have been worth upwards of £lOO.OOO. . SELECT COMMITTEE ON JOINTOCK BANKS.—The Chan cellor of the Exchequer , Sir R. P , Mr. Poulett Thompson, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Clay , Mr. Goulburn , Mr. Barin g , Mr. Loch, Mr. John Abel Smith, Mr. Pattison, Mr. M. Attwood, Mr. Skutt, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Mr. Shaw, Mr. O'Connell, Al r. Jephson. A woman at Lille has been convicted of murdering no fewer than 25 children. • • The Turkish Sultan has been elected an honorary member of the Asiatic Society. • FEMALE LABOUR IN FACTORIES.—Mr. Richard Pilling, in illustrating. the extent of female labour in some of our cotton factories (to the exclusion of the male sex), stated that there were 1300 looms propelled by power in Mi. Orreli's mill, worked by 700 females, the husbands remaining at home to conduct the domestic arrangements ; and that one woman in the above mill, with the mere assistance of a girl, was compelled to weave 1200 yards of cloth in one week . , a labour which he considered to have been sufficient for twelve men ! , --Stockport Advertiser. WAKEFIELD a BONDED PORT.—We learn that this matter is under serious consideration in the proper quarter, with a very fair prospect of being carried into effect.— Leeds Intelligence. How To MAKE A HORSE GROW.—" That is a tarnish tall hats,' said Laidlow. " Yes , I guess you can't account for it," replied Jonathan. " No, how," said Laidlaw. "He belongs to so and so, the livery-man, and his tallness comes through his having been regularly higher'd (hired) 'every day for the last sev en years." CARN A RVON.—Several base sovereigns are being put in cir culation in this town and neighbout hood. it is understood that a gang of colliers at Liverpool, have made a regular depot of base coin at Chester, and that itinerants from the latter place are busily employed in circulating them through this part of the Principality. MONSTROSITY. —A cow belonging to Mi. David Jackson, of Routen Syke, in Arlecdon, gave birth to a calf on Tuesday last, with two heads and two necks—the union of the necks being close to•lhe shoulder. In all ott:er respects the'formation was single. It was nearly full-grown, but life was entirely extinct when it was calved.—Carlisle Patriot. WAKEFIELD CATTLE FAIR, MAY 2.—The supply of beasts penned this morning was limited—met a ready sale, and the turn dearer. Sheep were in great abundance, and although, a full atteudance of buyers, the trade was heavy and many re mained unsold. Beef, ss. 6d. to 6s. 6 , 1., prime 6s. 91. per stone of 14 lbs; Mutton, in wool, 5 d a d.. to 6d. ' choice 64d. per lb., clipped sd. to 50. Beasts, 380.; Sheep, 3.000. NATURAL CURIOSITY.—A fine specimen of the Gannet has been sent to Mr. Chapman, of York, to preserve, by the Rev. George Marwood, of Busby Flail, near Stokesley. It was found on the moor near his house, by a man who was looking after sheep, quite dead, with about two inches of the under jaw of • the Garfish through the centre of the right eye, and through the optic nerve, which had caused inflammation on the brain, and so produced death. The Garfish is about twenty i en n t lew yi , t i t e c n h c e .e s r i . n length, the upper jaw about five inches long, but the und er j aw is about one inch longer and very sharp.—Leeds LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY. —On Tuesday, the directors of this railway proceeded along the line from London . to Woking-common, a distance of twenty-thre e miles, prieeinpasasurrtaie. o : tory to its being opened to the public on the 14th instant.

Mr. Hume matte an admission for which we are grateful to him—he said, that £4OOOO per annum would be necessary to raise the lower classes oflivings England and Walas to £2OO per annum each—a provision which we appre hend will not be thought unnecessary by any one. Now nobody pretends to say that more than £400,000 per ansuin can be obtained by any improvement in the letting of church-lauds.

Kr The Publication of the STANDARD commenced this morl ). lug at 5 o'clock. THE TOWN COUNCIL AND THE BALLOT The discussion which arose in the Town COunap, on Wednesday last, on the subject of voting by ballot, has spread the utmost consternation in the radical camp. It is evident from the tone of the Chronicle, the acknow ledged representative of ultra-radical opinions in. this town, that the conduct of certain reformers in the Town Council will be viewed in anything but a favourable light, when next they come before their constituents to claim a renewal of their confidence. The language of the Chronicle, independently of its pathos, is extremely instructive; but we are not a little surprised that oar shrewd contemporary has not long since found out the real character of the tyrant-majority in the council. Glad are we that the eyes of the sapient editors of that polite journal have, at length been opened, and that theY have been enabled to obtain a glimpse of the truth, how ever faint. The Chronicle says, " We turn with sad and melancholy feelings to the thought of the shipwreck of principle made by the majority of the Town Council on Wednesday." Sera nunquai n est ad bonos mores via. It is better to confess an error tardily than to persist in it for ever with dogged pertinacity. Where was th e Chronicle when the same "majority in the TokyrkCoutlei l" made "shipwreck of their principles" by the election of 16 aldermen of the same side in politics with themselve s ' for the purpose of effectually swamping the corporatioa with radicalism ? Why did the Chronicle pass over in silence tiro " sacrifice of principle" committed by the tyran t majority when they turned out of office the old andfaithfol and efficient servants of the corporation, for the parPe s ci e. of superseding them by their own servile creatures, a n that at such a great expense to the public ? Again st this exhibition of partiality, the Chronicle was nev er heard to declaim. Why did the Chronicle not lift its voic e to declaim against the one-sided policy of the Council in filling the vacancies in the Dock Committee? W ir y was the Chronicle not " sad and melancholy" on the many other occasions on which the same tyrant majority have evinced their utter disregard of all their previ ous professions ? We beg to assure our very tempera te, classical, erudite, and Chesterfield like contempor ary that many acts of the Town Council Lave been far more deserving of its severe animadversions than the pro ceeding of Wednesday last. Nay, further: we w ould respectfully submit that the Chronicle is bound in off sistency to defend the vote of the majority on Wednes day. They only afforded a practical illustration or fi , r : working of the system of vot e by b a ll o t— an illustrat ion ' worth volumes of unmeaning verbiage such as the Chronicle has wasted on the subject.

TO THE PUBLIC. Owing to the very liberal encouragement which we have received from our advertising friends, and for which we beg leave to tender our patella acknowledgments , we have come to the resolution. TO ENLARGE Tfig LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TO THE EXTENT OF SIX AD' DITIONAL COLUMNS . Hitherto we have frequently been under the necessity of excluding various articles of local interest, and a large proportion of general news, in consequence of the great press of advertisements with which we have been fa' voured. We have often, also, been forced to theatter• native of materially curtailing our reports as well as our editorial remarks, on the same account. The pro posed enlargement will enable us to embody a greater share of such intelligence as may be generally useful , and to extend our reports of the various public meet' ings, 4-c., which may be held in the neighbourhood , as well as to present to our readers a mass of amusing and instructive extracts from modern publications , which latter we intend to make a prominent feature in the STANDARD. It will also afford us great pleasure to auail ourselves 0 the opportunity which the contemplatedenlargemenW the STANDARD will give us for advocating more fully those conservative principles for which we have uni formly contended. The extended patronage which We enjoy shall operate as a stimulus to increased zeal and energy in defence of that glorious cause to which we feel an ardent attachment—the cause of the Monarchy, the Church, and the constitution of Great Britain. We are happy to announce that arrangements are in progress for considerably increasing the number of agents for the sale of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD• When these arrangements are matured, we anticipate a material increase in our circulation, an advantage which we feel confident will be duly appreciated by our advertising .friends. We also 'latter ourselves that the great increase of matter which the STANDARD will contain in its enlarged form will procure for us ad ditional support from the conservative public in Liverpool. The proposed enlargement will take place in THE FIR ST WEEK IN JUNE, after which the LIVERPOOL STANDAR!) will contain TWELVE COLUMNS OF ADDITIONAL MAT TER PER WEEK, without any increase of price.
