It is proposed to sell the estate in lots of from 10,000 to 18,000 yards, but, if required, it will be sold in such other quantities as may suit purchasers. Woodcroft House, which was built with every attention to con venience and comfort, with good outbuildings and offices, com prising about 18.000 yards, forms a very desirable lot. The rapid increase in the population of Liverpool calls for the erection of moderate-sized villas, with good gardens attached, and this estate is particularly suited for this purpose, being within an easy walking distance of Liverpool. The great sewer now being constructed for the suburbs will af ford an excellent drainage. Plans and further particulars may be had by application to P. SERJEANTSON, Esq., 17,01dhall-street ; or Messrs. LACE, RIOGF, and Roscoß, Castle-street. FINE ARTS.

CHARLES SAUNDERS, of the Western Circuit, will be Recorder of Devonport. THE BARON DE BODE, whose case had been so frequently before parliament, died at his residence in Albert-street, Mornington-crescent, on Saturday. THE PRINCESS OP HOHENLOHE-LANGENBURG, with the Princess Adelaide and Feodore of Hohenlohe, took leave of the Queen on Friday morning, at half-past seven o'cleck. Their Serene Highnesses travelled by the South-Eastern Railway to Dover, en route to Brussels. THE DUCHESS OF ORLEANS, accompanied by the two princes, her sons, arrived at Leipsic on the Bth, on her way to Dresden, whence she will make excursions to various places in the neighbourhood. Her royal highness's absence from Eisebach will be about a fortnight. THE KING OF SARDINIA is about to visit both Paris and London, by the advice of his physicians, to distract his atten tion from his recent heavy domestic afflictions. His Majesty will be attended by his principal minister, M. Cavour. The regency, during his absence, will be confided to the Prince Eugene of Carignano. A LETTER from the Hague, of the 9th, says :—" The Queen- Mother, who has been for some time residing on her estate of Soestdyk, was yesterday seized with giddiness, and fell to the ground, and hurt herself a good deal. Medical aid was imme diately afforded, and the august patient is going on favourably. Mn. CHARLES COCHRANE, whose name has been repeatedly before the public in connection with projects for aiding and employing the poor (soup-kitchens, the street orderly system, &e.), and who a few years since contested the representation of Westminster, died, on Wednesday, at his residence, in Nelson-square, Blackfriars-road. RESIDENCE OF THE KING OP PRUSSIA..—The friends and medical advisers of Frederick William have induced his Majesty to change his intention of spending the summer in his schloss on the Rhine, and to go somewhere else—to some Silesian sandstony .place. Great political curiosity is evinced in Germany to ascertain the cause of this advice; but it is evident that the friends of the monarch thought that he might be too near the Rhine wines. THE QUEEN held a Court on Tuesday, when the Hon. Mil lard Filmore, late President of the United States, was presented to Her Majesty at an audience, as was Sir James Hudson, the Queen's Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Sardinia, on his return from Turin; Mr. Percy Doyle, Minister to the Re public of Mexico, kissed hands on his appointment, and on return home on leave of absence. Her Majesty and Prince Albert afterwards went to Twickenham to visit the Duke and DuchessD'Aumale,accompanied by the Princess of Hohenlohe Langenburg. DRAWING Room.—The Queen held a drawing-room on Thursday, in St. James's Palace. Her Majesty wore a train of alternate stripes of light blue moire antique and white satin, the whole embroidered in a running pattern of blue and white flowers, trimmed with white blonde and bouquets of red, white, and yellow carnations. The petticoat was white satin, trimmed with white blonde, bows of white satin ribbon, and bouquets of carnations to match the train: Her Majesty's head-dress was composed of diamonds and feathers. The Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz wore a train of blue and white striped moire antique, trimmed with point lace and bows of white satin ribbon. The petticoat, of blue silk, was entirely covered with white point lace. The stomacher of the dress was ornamented with diamonds and pearls. Her royal highness wore a pearl diadem, and also white ostrich feathers and lace lappets.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER.—The market, this week, both: as regards cloth and yarn, has been dull, declining, and irregular. Some producers have indeed withdrawn from the market, but others have met the buyers on such terms as a demand, confined to immediate wants, and with an overwhelming production, would permit their obtaining. In some instances spinners have been met by holders of stocks of their yarns, who have been sellers at id. to id. per lb. under what the spinners themselves demand ; for holders have little confidence in rates, based on a speculation in cotton, being upheld, and would rather secure a profit here than take the chance of foreign markets. Altogether, we wish we could report less un favourably, or see any immediate prospect of being able to do so.—Manchester Courier. ROCHDALE.—A very fair demand for flannels, and the manufacturers have asked better prices on account of the rise in the raw material. There is not much change in wool ; the demand is steady and prices very firm. HIIDDERSFIELD.—A better attendance and more doing, both in the Cloth Hall and warehouges. In fact, more cheer fulness and animation in the market than for some weeks past. Prices are firm. Wool, also, has been in pretty fair demand ; and the waste and mungo market may be fairly said to have been brisk. LEEDS.—A steady business continues to be done in the woollen trade, and a full average quantity of goods changed hands. The demand being equal to the supply, stocks are low, and the mills generally well employed. Prices rule steady. A steady, quiet business doing in the warehouses for the home demand, and the shipping houses are brisker than they have been for some time past. • BRADFORD.—WooI : This market continues to be badly supplied, and the prices are firm. Noils and brokes continue in good request, and command high prices. —Yarns : The im provement in the demand for yarns, and the spinners being generally working full time, has made an impression on the minds of the youthful workers that better days are at hand, and during the e ar ly p ar t o f th e wee k t h ere h as b een b ut little yarn spun, as there has been a nearly general turn-out for higher wages. The position of this branch of the trade has been long bad, in consequence of having the raw material too high, and the current rate for yarns too low, and any improve ment on the price of yarns has been met by an advanced price of wool, and altogether the business is still profitless and un satisfactory.—Pieces : A fair amount of business doing, but great complaints of the unprofitableness of it. NOTTINGIIAM.—In the lace trade, silk goods are the prin cipal things selling. The hosiery trade is fair where firms hold a stock of yarn at old prices, but to make goods at the list of to-day, manufacturers cannot realise their own. AT the Mansion-house, London, 'on Saturday, Samuel Seal, who has been several times examined upon the charge of having in his possession a large quantity of granulated gold, supposed to be a portion of certain gold stolen upon its transit from London to the Continent, via' Dover, was discharged, the evidence beinglinconclusive. Titz hum PEERAGE.—An extremely curious case was mooted by Lord Derby in the House of Peers on Monday. The point is raised as to whether the patent for the new Baron of " Fermoy" in the Irish Peerage is not absolutely void. By the "Act of Union" three Irish Peerages must be come extinct before the Crown can create a new Irish Peer. The provision was introduced in order to guard the Irish no bility against being swamped by profuse creations. Accord ing to Lord Derby's singularly lucid statement, only two Irish Peerages have recently become vacant, but the Ministers have tried back upon 'the Earldom of Montrath, which be came vacant in 1802, and which they allege was never counted before by the Herald's Office. This seems a singular fact, if true, when we know that the Irish Commoners are keenly alive to the vacancies in the Irish Peerage. The whole matter is to be brought under the Committee of Privileges. On the political propriety of making Mr. Burke Roche a Peer, Lord Derby did not dwell at any length. TUESDAY, 'TUNE 19, 1F)".5. ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM. WITHOUT attaching any undue importance to the movement for what is called Administrative Reform, and which proclaimed its existence by a monster meeting in Drury-lane Theatre, on Wednesday, it cannot be denied that there is a growing uneasiness and dissatisfaction in popular opinion with reference to the administration of public affairs. It is not, however, so clear that the present agitators are pur suing the right course to obtain the object they profess to desire—always supposing that they are sincere in their professions, and that they are not making use of a popular cry in order to gratify personal ambition. The progress of the War, more particularly during the few months which followed the landing of the British troops in the Crimea, when complaints were rife of grievous suffering through privations, caused by official incompetency or neglect, naturally excited a large share of public indignation, and induced consideration as to the most effectual mode of applying a remedy to what appeared so serious an abuse of authority. It was not simply that appointments to important offices were made from motives of personal favour rather than from conviction of the fitness of the candidate for the office, and his ability to perform the duties required, but the conse quences were frightfully apparent in the sufferings and mortality of the gallant army exposed to the rigours of a winter in the Crimea, and which increased to such an extent as to threaten even the existence of the British force before Sebastopol, and, consequently, the position of Great Britain in the struggle which she had entered upon with so much confidence in the result. As thick as hail came post on post, bringing the most saddening accounts of the melancholy details ; and while the public mind was in a fever of excitement, lamenting the evil, but scarcely knowing how to accomplish redress, Mr. LAYARD appeared upon the scene as a candidate for office upon a change of Ministers. He was considered too dan gerous as an opponent, in the then state of parties, for some attempt not to be made at conciliation, and he was offered first one place and then another, which he refused, on the ground of his knowing nothing of the duties required of him. He then made an appeal to public opinion, explaining his position, and stating that what was most wanted was " the right men in the right places." The assertion was at once laid hold of, as the key to a solution of the difficulty, and made a popular cry, out of which arose the movement for Administrative Reform. In common, however, with all movements of the like character, in which feelings and prejudices are appealed to rather than judgment and experience, the argument is driven to the extreme, until it tends to excite opposition when it might otherwise have met with support. There is too much truth in the asser tion that duties are entrusted to those who are utterly incapable of their performance ; and we cannot, per haps, do better than quote the following remarks from an able article in Blackwood's Magazine of this month, on " The Palmerston Administration." The writer says : " Now, why is it that Lord Palmerston, whose accession to power some three months ago was greeted with acclaim by a considerable section of the public, who believed that at last they had got " the right man in the r i g ht pl ace ," s h ou ld now be distrusted and decried ? It is vain to attribute this to popular fickleness; for although the public mind, collectively, is fickle, and sometimes unreasonable in its expectations, yet most men form their conclusions from what they hear and observe, and there is commonly a considerable lapse of time between the flow and ebb of aggregate opinion. In this in stance it has been unusually rapid. Palmerston, the favourite of February, is P a l mers t on th e m i s t rus t e d of May. For this singular change many reasons may be assigned. In the first place, Lord Palmerston showed very little discretion in the construction of his cabinet. The tendency of the Whigs, from the commencement, has been to govern by means of a small junta or restricted clique of aristocratic families ; in short, to job the government of Great Britain whenever they could get it into their hands. So pertinacious are they in their adherence to this arrangement, that no instances of inca circle. All they do is to shift him to . another office when tpatypui exc however inde a notorious , minister, onceare consideredadmitted,fromb y themthe familysuffi cient ample, we have known Sir Charles Wood as Ch -the Exchequer, President of the Board of Control, and, b o lic clamour rises to a certain height.

WE this day present our readers with the first number of a SUPPLEMENT, which will be continued weekly, and shall be glad to receive such contributions on the various subjects to which it is devoted, as may tend to increase its attractions and its usefulness. The Supplement, though presented with each number Of THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, will be altogether distinct from the latter in the nature of its contents ; and its pages from week to week will be consecu tively numbered, so that, with Title-page and Index, it may be separately bound, at the end of the year, into a volume complete in itself. It will contain nothing of what is strictly called News, but its columns will be devoted to LITERATURE, SCIENCE, the FINEARTS, DOMESTIC ECONOMY, the FASHIONS, GARDENING, and kindred subjects, combining amuse ment with instruction, so as to form a pleasant and cheerful companion for the family circle. The Royal Assent having been given to the Act for the repeal of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers—on and after TUESDAY next the price of THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND SUPPLEMENT, WILL DE Unstamped ; 42d.
