Distinguished attainments gene rally lead to popular approbation, although there is a notoriety which may be anything but enviable. Dr. Muspratt may well submit to remain unruffled by the vituperation of our contemporary, when he finds asso ciated in joint abuse with his own name that of his world-famed preceptor Leibeg. When pigmies strike at giants, the blows they give but recoil on themselves. Arrogance and abuse are the sure indicators of a bad cause and the want of argument. If the writer can point to a more fitting local man than Professor Muspratt, let him do so. Our object is, not to serve a man, but a cause. GENERAL NEWS. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. A large Protectionist meeting is announced to be held in London on the 12th December. The French papers ;ttY;7l;;i'Lord Brougham, in his retreat at Cannes, is preparing for publication a work en titled " France and England before Europe in 1851." The steam-ship Demerara was safely removed, on Sa turday, into Cumberland Basin, at Bristol, preparatory to being placed in the dry dock for the necessary repairs. On Tuesday, at one of the metropolitan police-courts, a girl, twelve years of age, was committed for working an illicit still. A supplementary charter has been granted to the royal commissioners of the exhibition of 1851, authorising them to dispose of the surplus in their hands. The Duke of Northumberland has given orders for the construction of no less than a thousand new and comfort able dwellings for the labourers on his grace's estates in Northumberland. At the rent-day of the Duke of Portland for his exten sive estates, held at Morpeth, on Thursday last, his grace's agents were directed to return 32 per cent. of the rentals of the tenantry. Alfred Walker, a student at Cambridge, was in the In solvent Court last week. His debts were £4,100, of which £3,500 arise from bets on horse-racing, billiards, and from bills. A middle-aged woman, of ladylike appearance, whose husband is said to be one of the chief clerks in the Bank of England, has been committed for trial for stealing five squares of soap from a shop at Hoxton. Nearly three quarters of a million sterling appear, ac cording to the advertisements in the London journals, about to be raised for Californian and Australian Quartz Rock-Crushing Companies. A new dock, having an area of about ten acres, is to be opened for general business at Southampton this week, the preliminary step of gradually letting in the water hav ing commenced on Tuesday. On Thursday evening the Earl of Shaftesbury addressed a meeting of delegates from the factories of Ashton-under- Lyne, Staleybridge, and the neighbourhood, in the town hall of Ashton-under-Lyne. The room was crowded. One of the signs of a hard winter are the incendiary fires, which are becoming very frequent in the country. Three weeks have presented lists respectively of twenty, fourteen, and eleven, or a total of forty-five recorded within that short period. The Duke of Newcastle has ordered his tenants on the Clumber estates to kill the hares, and he only intends to preserve the birds for his own use. Besides this boon, the whole of the Clumber estates are being revalued, and sundry repairs are progressing upon various farms. The papers announce large flights of woodcocks and other unusual signs, indicating a hard winter ; but a more fatal one occurred in Norfolk last week, where a travelling tea-dealer perished from cold on his way from Dorking to Creake. Notice was issued on Saturday, at St. Paul's Cathe dral, that the public will only be admitted on Sundays during the morning and afternoon services, and on other days from eight a.m. till four p.m. (gratis), the same as Westminster Abbey. Three grocers of Northampton have been fined for having spurious tea in their possession ; the fines in one case amount to hundreds of pounds, with the alternative of a twelvemonth's imprisonment in default ; in the other two cases the tradesmen will be sent to prison for six months if they do not pay their fines. On Saturday, an inquest was held at Leicester on the body of Mrs. Caroline Vesey Gillden (daughter of Major Dawson), who committed suicide by swallowing a large quantity of essential oil of almonds.. She had formerly held a high position in society, but was unable to face destitution, to which she was reduced. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1851. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint the Hon. Sir Ralph Abercromby, K.C.8., now her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the King of Sardinia, to be her Majesty's: Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the King of the Netherlands. Sir William Cubitt, upon whom her Majesty has been pleased to confer the honour of knighthood for the im portant part which he performed in the erection of the Crystal Palace, is another example in which the path of distinction is in this country open to the humblest orders of society. In the yard of Messrs. Ransome, of Ipswich, he worked as a wheelwright. At Nottingham, a man named John Rockley has been committed for trial at the assizes, on his own confession, of having set fire to a number of corn-stacks, at Radcliffe on-Trent, of the value of £9OO, which were entirely con sumed. The prisoner's only motive seems to have been to partake of the bread and cheese and ale distributed on such occasions to those who assist in extinguishing the flames. A distressing case of attempted suicide was brought under the notice of the Thames magistrate last week. Joseph Roberts, a young man of good address, swallowed laudanum, and narrowly escaped with life. He was out of work, and his dependence on his father and young sis ters for bread preyed on his mind. His father had been an engraver ; but, unable to get work in that line, he now makes lucifer-matches—he and five daughters earn from ls. to ls. 3d. a day by their united labour. The young man expressed sorrow for what he had done. Mr. Yard ley pointed out to him the unmanliness of the attempt on his life to escape suffering ; and on discharging him, ordered ss. to be given to the distressed father. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST. .c. One of the most extraordinary attempts at murder that have been made of late years in England occurred on Tuesday evening in the very heart of the metropolis. For the last fortnight a mission has been held at the Roman Catholic School-house, in Leopard's-court, Baldwin's-gar dens, Gray's-inn-lane, London, for the Italians resident in the neighbourhood, and two Capuchin friars, who arrived from Rome about a fortnight ago, officiate every day in their full canonicals. On Tuesday night, about eleven o'clock, after the congregation had dispersed, the Rev. Mr. Ferrati, an Italian clergyman, who had been assisting the Capuchin friars in officiating, while leaving the chapel was attacked by three ruffians, supposed from their garb to be Italians, who knocked him down ; one of them stab bed him with a long stiletto, and the oth ers b eat him about the head with their fists in a most brutal manner. His cries alarmed the inmates of one of the houses in Leopard's-court, who threw up a window to ascertain the cause. This, no doubt, saved the life of the rev. gentle. man, as the noise alarmed his assailants, and they made their escape. The rev. gentleman was picked up in an insensible state, and taken to a surgeon's, where it was found that the wounds he had received were not so severe as had been anticipated. The instrument with which the attack was made seems to have grazed along the left jaw. bone, and, instead of entering the side of the neck, as was doubtless intended, entered the back part of the s!ioulder, and struck against the bladebone, inflicting a flesh wound. His face was greatly disfigured. After his wound was dressed he was removed in a cab to the resi dence of the Rev. Mr. Kyne, in Alyddelton-square, Rosa mon-street, Clerkenwell. It is supposed that the attack was made in consequence of some passages in a sermon delivered by the rev. gentleman at Rosamon-street Chapel on Sunday last. Great prejudice against the school appears to have existed in the minds of some Ita lians for some time past, and one or two attacks of a brutal nature have lately been made on other persons connected with it, of which the two following are in stances :—On the arrival of the two .Capuchin friars in London the Rev. Dr. Faa, an Italian clergyman, to whom they were known, engaged lodgings for them in Dove court, Leather-lane, and on calling to see them a few days afterwards he was knocked down by two or three ruffians, who violently assaulted him. On that occasion, as upon this, the delinquents escaped. Some few days previously one of two ladies (Sisters of Mercy) who teach at the Leopard's -court School was also attacked in the vicinity with such violence that she burst a blood vessel, and now lies in a very precarious.

Jamaica, 70 casks Plantation, 300 bags Native Ceylon, and 500 bags Costa Rica.—Some small parcels of Jamaica Ginger have been sold from 40s. to 605., according to quality, and 250 bags of Guayaquil Cocoa, all faults, at 235. per cwt.—Rice is in better demand, and Ils. refused for fine white Bengal.—Rum is steady, but the business not large, including 60 puns.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 28 The extensive demand which has been experienced during the pa , t three weeks has continued throughout the present, and the common and middling qualities of American having become scarce, have again advanced id. to id. per lb. ; in the better qualities the advance is barely Ft per lb., there being a large assortment from the late arrivals of the new crop. In Brazil, Egyptian, and Surat, there has also been a considerable busi ness, and the two latter descriptions are rather dearer. Spe culators have taken 10,220 American, 740 Egyptian, and 6430 Surat, and 1560 American, 30 Egyptian and72o Surat have been taken for export. SALES. ! i IMPORTS.

S. Moderate sales of Beef have been effected during the week, at tolerably steady prices for the best brands, but at lower rates for other sorts. A further small parcel of American Pork has been taken for export. In Hamburgh there has been a good deal done, on rather easier terms. The small parcel of new Bacon, referred to in our last, is soft and imperfectly cured, consequently forming no test as to opening prices for a good article. Hams and Shoulders do not improve in demand. For Cheese there continues a steady demand, and late prices are well supported. Canadian Butter sells moderately well, at the quotations.

Of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, coastwise and from Ireland, the receipts into this port since Monday last are unusually light, and except 300 qrs. of Maize and 340 sacks of Flour we are still without arrivals of Grain produce from any part of Europe, the 1723 barrels of Flour noted in the same line being a returned parcel from Per nambuco; from the American States, however, the imports include 8019 qrs. of Wheat, 4085 qrs. Indian Corn, and 21,052 barrels of Flour ; those from Egypt comprising merely 1400 qrs. Wheat and 625 qrs. of Beans. The weather since our last has been cold, inclining to frost, but seasonable, and in this direction autumn culture in many cases appears well nigh completed. Intermediately from Tuesday last to this date, the trade as regards Wheat assumed a more animated tone, in duced by considerable operations, chiefly in the best runs of Foreign, for investment, and several purchases for inland counties, on terms fully equal to, but not exceeding previous quotations. Flour also continued to meet a good demand at the extreme rates last noted ; and other articles, though not in lively request, remained steady in value. At our market this morning the Wheat trade, although rather less active than yes terday, continued healthy with a fair amount of busines, prin cipally on country and partly for Irish account, but little for local purposes, in which all descriptions of English and Foreign Wheats maintained Tuesday's currency, at the same time indi cating a slight tendency upwards. States and Canadian Flour still moving off freely to consnmers and for shipment, both sweet and sour were the turn dearer than Tuesday. with the prospect of an extensive demand through the winter. Prime French Flour, of which none remains here, would, if at hand, rather exceed our highest quotations, whilst in Irish we have no change to note. Malting Barley saleable at an advance of Is. per qr. ; grinding samples, on the contrary, being in slow request, barely supported late prices. Malt and Beans unva ried. Peas held on rather higher terms. Oats, upon a mode rate demand, were unaltered in value, and for good new Oat meal 225. 9d. per load was realised. Indian Corn on the spot met a limited sale at Tuesday's quotations, and in floating car goes little business was apparent. We annex Tuesday's rates : BRITISH. FOREIGN. Wheat, se 70th., s. d. a. d.

At our Exchange to-day the supply of samples of each article is moderate. Suitable qualities of Wheat and Flour meet a fair demand, at full prices. Oats and Oatmeal lather tend upwards, as also Egyptian Beans. Other articles firm, at former rates. PRESTON, Nov. 29.—We have still to notice the prevalence of a firm feeling in the Corn trade, though the continued un willingness of dealers to meet the advance, h as resu lt e d i n a more limited amount of business. The arrivals this week, principally of Oatmeal from Ireland, are to a fair amount. At our Corn Market to-day there was a very large supply of Eng lish Wheat. Fine qualities, which were very scarce, maintained full rates, whilst the greater bulk of the samples being of a very inferior description were rather easier to purchase. In Irish and Foreign no change. Flour as before. Irish Oats in very short supply, and prices have still an upward tendency. For farmers' Oatmeal rather higher prices were obtained, and Irish remains firm at our last quotations. A good supply of English Beans, at a slight reduction in value. WAKEFIELD, Nov. 28.—The — reiorted arrival of Wheat is small, but there is a fair show of samples, and, with a good consumptive demand, all fresh qualities are cleared off at last week's prices. There is a fair sale for Barley at the prices of last Friday ; the recent decline in this article is causing more demand. Oats and Shelling a:e scarce, and make full prices. Beans meet a ready sale. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Nov. 29.—There was a good delivery of Wheat this morning from the country; and the wind being rather more favourable, a part of the long-expected supplies from the south have arrived. The demand proved good, and prices ruled the turn in favour of the seller. The inquiry for old foreign was quite of a retail character, and the value remains unchanged. Malting Barley scarce, owing to adverse winds, so that the little on sale readily brought full prices. Grinding sold at late rates. Oats were in large supply from the growers; coastwise the arrivals are also to a fair extent. The sale was by no means active, but last week's quotations were well supported for all descriptions of quality. White Peas are held firmly at the late advance, and few in the market. For Beans the demand is only limited, and no alteration can be quoted in their value. Flour in demand at last week's advanced rates. WISBECH, Nov. 29.—There has been a fair quantity of Wheat here to-day, which found a fair sale at last week's rates. In other kinds of Grain no alteration. DUBLIN, Nov. 28.—Our market has continued this week without any alteration for eve.iy description of Grain, as well as Indian Corn, and we do not make any change in our rates : White Wheat.. 18s Od to 22s 6d I Barley Ils ed to 15s Od Red do 17s Gd to 21s Od New Rapeseed I3s Od to 15s Od New Bere lOs Od to lls Od Flour, second .12s Od to 14s Od New Oats 9s 3d to 11s Od Indian Corn, Oatmeal lOs Od to Ila Od per 480th.... 25s Od to 27s 6d CORK, Nov. 29.—Prime Flours have had a ready sale, at late prices ; the quantity on offer being large. no improvement can be established as yet. Foreign Wheats are in better request, and 21s. per barrel has been paid for prime Polish Odessa. Indian Corn is unchanged in value. Thegrain market is more scantily supplied. Wheat has an upward tendency. Barley and oats support the late improvement. STATE OF TRADE MA NCH ESTER.—The market since Tuesday has been rather less animated, but prices then obtained are still current, with a slight advance on some numbers of water twist. Owing to the advancing tendency in the cotton market, spinners are ex tremely firm in Cseir requirements, and do not readily accept distant engagements, except at very full prices. Most produ cers of low and middle numbers of yarns are engaged to the end of the year, and some even a week or two into the new year. The demand for water twist for China still continues, but for Germany there is rather less inquiry, owing to the ad vanced state of the season and the severity of the weather. Home trade manufacturers are buying to a fair extent, and prices of cops are in some cases advancing. For the Mediter ranean a moderate business is doing. Mule Yarn is steady, at Tuesday's prices. In goods there is not much change to report; almost all descriptions are in request, and manufac• turers, in some instances, are stipulating for higher rates. Stocks are very light, and buyers find the greatest difficulty in placing orders for early delivery. Izens.—Both in the public markets and at the warehouses more business has been done in woollen cloths, chiefly of the coarser kinds, this week than in any of the last preceding thre e weeks. The manufacturers complain that prices are far from being sufficiently remunerative ; but they find it better to take low prices than to keep their machinery idle. BRADFORD.—There has been a little improvement in the demand for goods this week, and prices have a tendency up wards. The same remarks apply both to yarns and wools. ROCHDALE.—The flannel market continues dull and inactive, with little or no variation in prices. We have had a quiet wool market, and prices stationary. LEICESTER.--Trade remains much in the same state as reported in our last. There appears to be very little doing in any of the branches of the Leicester trade. The greatest cau tion is observed both by manufacturers and buyers against holding too much stock, and although hands are out of employ the supply of goods is quite equal to the demand.
