TO CORRESPONDENTS. Sr. ANNE'S Cllll fices.—" fenex" strongly reprobates the Vand alism of a writer signing " A Burgess," who, " year after year," has recommended to the Common Council the removal of this sacred edifice, together with its burying-ground, in which repose the remains of many of the old and highly re_ puted i , ,habitants of the town. We fully concur with him that such a desecration and destruction of the Temple and and the Tomb would be disgraceful in a Christian country but he need be under no apprehension. Amidst the unfaith ful of the day, there are still those left, true to the principles of their forefathers, and to those feelings of respect to the resting-place of the honoured dead, who will effectual'y check such a monstrous proposition in the bud, should any one have the audacity to bring it officially forward. GRETNA GREEN MARRIAGES.—We really cannot inform our correspondent G. whether such marriages are legal or not . It is, we believe, a questio vexata, even amongst professional men, and he had better consult one of the genus, and be cautious how he trusts him. Tea COBURG Docx.—A correspondent complains that the outer gates of this dock arc so imperfectly fenced, that even during the day timid persons have to walk round the dock rather than attempt the passage. Ile hopes the Dock Trus tees will cause the needful improvement to be made, which would cost but littie. TYPOGRAPHICAL MISTAKE. —ln a letter on education which appeared in our paper from Mr. A. M'Creary, the word " con venience" is by mistake printed " conscience." which mars the sense. The author admits that this might have arisen from the imperfection of his manuscript. SEDITIOUS BALLADS.—" A Subscriber" calls attention to the faet that seditious songs are frequently sung in the streets, and properly wishes the proper authorities to put down a practice that annoys all good subjects. THE ',RAG!. E.—" Veritas" notices a resent statement of the Mercury, to the effect that a man named Fyles, who voted for Mr. Brown, at the county election, was sadly persecuted, tint by his master, and secondly by his landlord, and shows that this and another charge against the Conservatives have no better foundation in truth than " the baseless fabric of a vision." Purren's LAM ENT.—These anonymous verses have a personal allusion, and as the party assailed appeared open and above board in the plain prose, we cannot in justice insert them. " Mechanic" ought to have forwarded his name in order that we might have obtained one or two further partculars from him. Ely Riberpool &tan Darb. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1844. However greatly we might have been disposed to regret the failure of the attempt made by Mr. Miles to do justice to an ill-used body of men, the planters of our colonies, we must far more deplore the mode in which that failure has been brought about. The noblest assembly of freemen which the world contained—the pattern legislative body, which has been for centuries the admiration of surround ing nations—the reformed British house of Com mons, has laid down its independence at the feet of a minister, and consented to become in his hands a mere instrument for recording, with all the mockery of parliamentary form and ceremonial, whatever principles or measures he chooses to dictate to its acceptance ! The balanced constitution of Great Britain has virtually ceased to exist, and Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues become the arbitrary dic tators to the Crown, the Peerage, and the People. We deplore the vote of Monday night most deeply for this stain which it has inflicted upon the character of the House of Commons. To that house how can we longer look up with confidence in any emergency with which the nation is threatened ? It is no longer a deliberative body. It speaks no longer the will of the nation. The public business would go on quite as safely—the work of legislation would be quite as well conducted—if her Majesty were to cease calling together their "honourable house." There can he no moral force in the deci sion or the opinion of an assembly which at the threat of a minister can wheel about with such dex terity, rejoicing in its very slavery, and parading its degradation. There may certainly be occasions upon which some deference to a government must be paid by its supporters, and some sacrifice of individual opinion may be justifiable. But this, we must cuutend, was not such a case. It involved no great principle upon which the existence of a ministry could be fairly placed at issue. It was not even so important in its bearings and probable consequences as the Factory Bill, with respect to which Sir Robert Peel first experimented upon the servility of his party; and it was therefore the mere wantonness of power which upon the present occasion exacted from that party a sacrifice of character so humiliating. The demand once made, however, it is urged, in extenuation of the conduct of those members who submitted to stultify on Monday their vote -of the previous Friday—amongst whom we regret to see a member for this borough and the newly-elected member for South Lancashire—that they had only the alternative of such a course or the resignation of Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues. They were in this position, we admit; and, as the result of this submission, they are likely to be placed in the same position again, whenever that statesman finds it ad visable to sacrifice any other interest or institution to the claims of expediency or the clamour of his opponents. But is it to be conceded that no hand besides that of Sir Robert Peel can wield the desti nies of this empire ? Are there no able and honest men upon the ministerial benches to raise the fallen staff of office, and govern the country in accordance with the declared wishes of the people ? We main tain that there are such men; that the country is not so, hopelessly and absolutely dependent upon the ex istence of the present ministry as to require that, to preserve them in office, the most valued branch of the constitution should be placed in abeyance. Highly as we estimate the talent and the character of Sir Robert Peel, we are afraid that we purchase his services at too high a price, when we give for them the independence and the character of the British House of Commons. Since the foregoing remarks were written, another branch of the legislature, whose proceedings are generally marked by a greater amount of dignity and self-respect, has chosen to imitate the course pursued by the House of Commons. On the 30th of April the House of Lords passed the second read ing of a bill, brought in by Lord Cottenham, enti tled the "Debtors and Creditors Bill," which was supported, in a speech of great learning and legal acumen, by the Lord Chancellor, and received the hearty and almost unanimous favour of government and of the house. Affecting as it did a large class of the mercantile and trading public, its further pro gress was watched with great interest, and, by one unfortunate portion of that public, whom it released from the pains of imprisonment for debt, it was hailed with welcome, and its passing into a law looked forward to with vast anxiety. The tempo rary absence from his parliamentary duties of Lord Brougham, however, who was understood to be fa vourable to its main principles and provisions, re tarded this consummation. Postponement was re quested to enable that learned lord to express in Person his opinions and wishes respecting it; and the fullest confidence was entertained that, with perhaps a few unimportant alterations, the bill would go safely through both houses and receive the royal assent before the close of the present year. But—alas for the hopes of men and debtors ! his crotchetty lordship of Brougham and Vaux has returned to his duties in Parliament with a measure of his own r eady for being ushered into being ; and her Majesty's government and the House of Lords, disregarding the anxiety of the public for a prompt settlement of a question so important as the law of debtor and creditor, have consented, with a facility perfectly unaccountable, to permit the measure of Lord Cottenham, which they had previously sane- tinned, to he shelved for the session by being ve. ferred, in company with the new competing project, to a select committee. Already it is half acknow ledged that government are prepared to give the weight of their influence to the latter ; and, at all events, when we recollect the creeping progress of past legislation upon the subject of the bankrupt and insolvent law, it is morally certain that the pub lic have no more immediate certainty with respect to the settlement of that law upon a satisfactory and permanent basis than they had at the commencement or the close of this or any other session of Parlia ment. It is painful to witness such mockery of the pub lic interests and regardlessness of the public feel ings, as is apparent in this and similar proceedings of both houses ; and still more painful when the authors of such procrastination of important ques tions are the members of a government who have been accustomed to protest so loudly against the same course when pursued by former governments. A goodly list we have already of measures initiated in both houses, and strangled prematurely or shelved during the present session,—of registration bills, education bills, new poor-law amendment bills, and other projects, ushered into being with much flourish and profession, and botched or bun gled in their progress. And if we are to have, as we much suspect, a final and wholesale slaughter at its close, there can scarcely be wanting a Whig- Radical Lyndhurst to chronicle and catalogue them before the face of the world. It is not often that we are tempted to take up cudgels in defence of the small body of men who constitute the force of the Anti-Corn-law League in the House of Commons ; and even in the present instance it is with reluctance that we do so. But so fearful was the blow dealt against them yesterday by a local contemporary, that, in pure humanity, we feel ourselves impelled to offer a few remarks, in the hope or saving from utter political extinction such amusing personages as Mr. Cobden, Mr. Milner Gibson, and their offending brethren. The Albion fastens upon these gentlemen the charge of having, by their votes in favour of the Ministers upon the Sugar Duties question, "thrown away the best chance which the Liberal cause ha.? had for years, and, perhaps, postponed the downfal of Toryism to an indefinite period." With all due respect for the ilibion's judgment, we must contend that Mr. Cobden and his party have done no such thing. By promoting the ministerial proposition, and enabling a number of the Conservative party to jump Jim Crow so successfully, they have perma• nently weakened that party in the estimation of the public out of doors, whilst they have weakened the cohesion 3f its members in the House of Commons. They have helped them to deal " a heavy blow and great discouragement " upon a body of their staunchest supporters, the West India interest, and to exhibit themselves in the unamiable position of standing between the people and a supply of cheaper sugar. At the very moment when Ministers were rubbing their hands over their escape from a second defeat upon this question, and the Albion was fum ing at the thought that Sir Robert Peel was not out, and Lord John Russell not in, Mr. Richard Cobden was chuckling over the clever ruse which had kept in their seats for a time an administration whose every step approaches his own policy, and drags us nearer the compulsory adoption of ultra measures of liberalism, or rather of destruction to the best interests of the country, whilst it had disappointed the excited hopes of the most paltry set of pre tenders which ever abused the patience of a people. Richard Cobden care for whig rule ! Fudge. Beyond the fact that theme offending Leaguo members regulate their votes by something like principle, and thus,—regarding the measure of Sir Robert Peel as a better free trade measure than that of Mr. Miles, which Lord J. Russell and his party, gaping for place and for nothing beyond, rushed to support—cast on this occasion mere party considera tions, those favorite considerations of the Albion, overboard; let us see what was the eminent consis tency—(inconsistency is imputed to Mr. Cobden) — of the liberals who voted for the ministerial propo sition. The measure of Mr. Miles was one to in crease the differential duty, making it nominally 14s in place of 10s, in favor of British plantation sugar. Against that very principle—of differential duties— who were the loudest in their protestations when the Canadian Corn Duties Bill was under discus sion ? Why, the very members, composing a por tion of the late administration, who now, with a party benefit in view, support the same principle which is involved in Mr. Miles's motion. This is inconsistency if you like ! But, we beg pardon ; we are in error. There is a consistent love of place evident ; a consistent love of embarrassing op ponents for personal benefit. Inconsistency in principle—consistency in adherence to interested motive. But, to the consideration of the main point of offence—the question of the fact what injury Mr. Cobden has by his conduct and that of his friends inflicted upon the whig-radical party. The Albion states the question to be one between A Liberal Government. Four shillings more or less Repeal of the Corn Laws. duty on white foreign Alteration of the Sugar Du- clayed sugars, and all the ties, including the point blessings of a Tory Go at issue in the present vernment into the bar struggle. gain : Repeal of the Income-tax. End of the spy and packed jury system in Ireland. Termination to the letter- peeping Government in England. thus leaving us on record his sage conviction that the success of Mr. Miles's amendment would have brought about the various consummations in the first column ; and the success of government the consummation described in the last. Now here we beg once more to differ from our contemporary, and to assure him of our convictk.n that nothing that could possibly have befallen Sir Robert Peel's government, with respect to this ques tion, could have produced such a lusus naturae as would be a whig administration, in the state of public feeling existing at present in the country. Sir Robert Peel might possibly have resigned; but it by no means follows as a matter of course that Lord John Russell would have occupied his place. On the contrary, it is, in our estimation, and in that of other parties better qualified to give an opinion, far more likely that the formation of a strong C on . servative administration would have been the result —an administration by whom some deference wou ld have been paid to the declared opinions of the ma. jority of the nation—of which the right hon. baro net might have formed a member, but of which some other gentlemen, now his colleagues, (amongst whom we include Sir James Graham,) would not ; and by such a process we are rather inclined to think that the chances of power for the whig party would not be very greatly advanced. The forma tion of such a government might involve a dissolu tion of parliament ; but that is a matter over which we should not materially grieve. It would afford an opportunity to the constituency of weeding the House of Commons of a few members who have been of late rather crotchetty, and whose place could be supplied by better materials. We have expressed our regret elsewhere, and we again express it, to find the name of our valued representative, Sir Howard Douglas, amongst the list of those voting against Mr. Mi'es's amendment, on Monday last, and thus, in effect, a f firming the principle of the Government measure from which he had on a former evening dissented ; but we must dis tinctly he understood to impute no unworthy motives —nothing of a time-serving character—as having actuated him in so doing. Such an imputation on our part would have been most unwarrantable, di rected towards a highly honourable man and faith ful representative, whose votes and conduct in the House, since his election, have been all that we could have wished. Entertaining the opinions which Sir Howard did, of hostility to both proposi tims, he could scarcely have pursued any other course, unless, on the last occasion, he had with drawn from the House, which might have given occasion to a charge (that of shirking the straight forward course), which we feel assured, from the manly character of Sir Howard, would be more grievous to him than any which the ribaldry of our Radical friends can bring against him. We are happy to be able to do something towards allaying any ill feeling, and removing any miscon ceptions, which might result from the anomalous position in which Sir Howard has been temporarily placed, by the publication of a correct report of his speech (extracted from Hansard), from which it will be seen that the gallant member expressly guarded himself from the imputation that he voted on Mon day with Ministers on account of any change of opinion, or any wish to avoid the consequences of his former vote : " Sir Howard Douglas was desirous of saying a few words in explanation of the vote he was about to give. After baying maturely considered the measure proposed by her Majesty's government, believing that it would be greatly injurious to the British West India, and Colonial interests, he had voted against that measure. But he did not approve, and therefore could not support, the amend ment of the hon. member for Bristol; because he (Sir Howard) did not think it provided adequate protection or security, as a remedial measure, for the prejudicial effects which that proposed by her Majesty's government was likely to produce; and because by voting for that amend ment, he would be committed to some propositions and admissions to which he was opposed. For these reasons he (Sir Howard) had come to the resolution to vote against both propositions, previous to the discussion of either; and he might appeal to friend s aroun d hi m , an d to the hon. member for Bristol himself, whether he (Sir Howard) had not made this intention known. By nega tiving both propositions, he kSir Howard) would keep himself in a position free to go into the discussion of that large question, for the settlement of the sugar duties, in a more permanent and beneficial manner to all parties, to which the attention of the house must be called in the next session of parliament. " Sir H. Douglas, in explanation, begged to say, that he had changed no purpose on the present occasion, nor hail he swerved from the vote which he had from the first intended to give on the lion. member for Bristol's amend ment. He had voted against the proposition of the go vernment on Friday night, because he did not approve of it, and he had openly stated his intention, to vote against the proposition now before the committee, if it should be brought forward. That course had been pursued by the hon. member for Bristol, and he should feel himself called upon to act as he had prescribed, and to vote against the amendment." Ties FUNDS, Saturday night.—The English Stock market has further slightly improved to-day, notwith standing the limited hours of business. A few orders on behalf of the public were concluded early in the morn ing, and these gave the better tone to prices. Consols for the account finally closed 984 to Bank Stock, 1974 to 1984 ; Exchequer-bills, 735. to 755. p.m.; Three per Cents. Reduced, 984 ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 1024 to ; Long Annuities, 124 ; and India Bonds, 94 to 95 p.m. There was also an improvement noticeable in the foreign securities, which in most cases were quoted the shade better, though no great deal of business was transacted. Spanish Five per Cents. left off 234 to 4 ; the Three per Cents, 354 to : Portuguese, 464 to 474 ; Peruvian, 27 to 28 ; Mexican, 344 to 4 ; the Deferred, 144 to ; Dutch T.vo-and-a-Half per Cents., 614 to 62 : the Five per Cents., 1004 to 101: Danish, 88 to 89; Colombian, 134 to ; Buenos Ayres, 35 to 37; Brazilian, 814 to 824 ; and Belgian, 1034 to 1044. THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—In Friday night's Gazette we had the return of the quarterly average of the weekly liabilities and assets of the Bank of England for the three months from the 23d March to the 15th instant. Com pared with the quarter from the 24th of February to the 18tn of May, the following are the results :—The circula tion has decreased from £91,3Q3.000 to £21,327,000, being a difference of £66.000 ; the deposits have increased from £13,345,000 to £13,483,000, being a difference of £138,000, making the total liabilities £34,810,000. The securities have increased from £21.786,000 to £21,916,000, being a difference of £130,003. Thebullion has decreased from £16,010,000 to £15,900,000, being a difference of £llO,OOO, making the aggregate assets £37,816,000. The surplus or rest has decreased from £3,058,000 to £2,006,000, being a difference during the month of £20,00. LORD SANDON.—A letter from Lord Sandon appears in the Times of Wednesday, in which he complains of an incorrect report of his speech on the Sugar Duties' Bill. His lordship says :—" I am represented as urging the go vernment not to be depressed by the difficulties of their present condition, nor to exaggerate them. This lan guage, and all that follows, I addressed to the West In dian proprietors, to whom I recalled the great natural and acquired advantages which they possess for the growth of sugar, the prospect which now opens for a really adequate supply of labour, and the knowledge of the protection which they are likely permanently to enjoy, as reasons for not desponding, but rather for looking at last to a hopeful issue out of all their difficulties." STATE OF OUR SUGAR COLONIES.—We find in the Morning Herald of Friday last, an article in which the writer—who is evidently well acquainted with the sub ject—condemns the " make-shift and momentary legis lation which has hitherto been the bane of our West India colonies"—contends that it can no longer be pur sued—that the evil may be cured, though not, he admits, without difficulty—that this is not to be accompli-hed either by protecting duties or a reduction of duties; and, after an exposition of the culpable idleness of the negro population, concludes by submitting what he conceives would prove an efficacious remedy. It appears that at the period of emancipation, the number of slaves. young and old, employed in sugar cultivation in all our colonies was about 500,000, out of a total of 718,000. These in 1832 produced 4,678,272 cwts. of sugar, or 9 1 cwt. for each: after the addition of about 40,000 Africans and Coolieg, only 2,980,701 cwts. were produced, or only about 54 cwt. for each. Probably not above one-third of the former number now engage in work, the remainder having either relinquished the cultivation of exportable produce, or will only work occasionally at wages so high, that no price that can be obtained can remunerate the un fortunate proprietor. According to the evidence given by several well-informed parties before the Housa of Com mons, in 1840, the .noney wages paid and other advan tages bestowed in Guiana were equal to 4s. 2d. per day, and in the other colonies the rate is proportionably high, and labour equally scarce. With such a defalcation of labour no exporting colony can exist, or compete with countries where labour is abundant and wages low. This excessively high rate of wages, and the abandonment of labour by the mass of the negro population, are the real causes which bear down the West Indies ; and the writer contends that this country ought not to be further taxed to enable negro labourers to earn in colonies where there are no severities of seasons and no taxes to pay, 4s. a day, rapidly to enrich themselves, while the British agricul tural labourer can but obtain 7s. to 9s. for incessant toil, in this inclement climate, and is, moreover, heavily taxed. When the £20,000,000 was paid for the emancipation of the negroes, the reasonable condition that should have been exacted for the boon—for such it was—was that they should, like other populations throughout the globe, work for reasonable hours and for reasonable wages, in order to supply the customary quantity of sugar at a moderate price —not materially differing from what it can be ob tained for elsewhere. In this there could have been no hardship or injustice, as we are told that the free men can, without difficulty, do much more work than the slave. Unfortunately,in the hurry of emancipation no such con ditions were thought of or required ; but surely no really good and honest men would contend that liberty was to be exempt from labour; and that " a rebellion of apathy and idleness"—the parent of poverty, misery and crime— against activity and industry--was to be endured? The writer, after some amplifi ca ti on o f th e se v i ews , says : " By just, energetic, and prudent conduct and counsels on the part of the Government and the colonies, much, if not the whole, of the evil may speedily be removed. The road is safe, the remedy is simple. Let the British Go vernment peremptorily command all the colonial gover nors and authorities to inculcate on the minds of the ne gro population that if they will not labour continuously and for reasonable wages, like other men, the inevitable result will be the' introduction of foreign sugar into Eng land without any protecting duties, when they will receive no wagei at all, and when any exportable produce which they may attempt to cultivate for themselves will be beaten out of every market by productions raised by more industrious and reasonable beings ; they will understand this, and act accordingly." He says that it would be well to " try this simple remedy before the colonies are lost ;" and is of opinion that if the government will but do so honestly, firmly and fairly, with all the weight of their authority, he has no fear of a successful result. We con cur with him in the propriety of the attempt. At all events, we consider it little short of suicidal in Sir R. Peel to reduce the protective duties on our own free grown sugar, without an energetic effort to extend to the almost ruined planters, the means of obtaining labour by immigra tion,orotberwise as will enable them to compete with slave employing states. On this point we are corroborated by the colonists themselves. In an article on the subject in the Guiana Herald of the sth of April, the editor urges " the necessity of a petition to government, numerously signed, but principally by the labou r ers, praying that no alteration. in the prese n t p ro t ec ti ng d u ti es be made until extended !mmigration has not only been conceded us, but but sufficient time has been allowed to feel its effects." THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE DOCK COMMITTEE AND THE BIRKEN HEAD COMMISSIONERS. We must bestow a little of our tediousness upon an ar ticle of a local contemporary of yesterday, although we have already given, what our readers will perhaps con sider quite an adequate notice of the subject upon which he writes, in another column. In doing this we shall not direct our attention to more than one or two parts of his lugubriously jocose article. It is said, " Take our advice in preference, gentlemen of the Dock Committee, and mind your own bill. You will have difficulty enough to get the Harrington " affair" safely through. You will require all your ability to persuade the Lords that £263,000 is a moderate price to pay for the strand at the north now that it appears the Woods and Forests have freely given the Birkenhead Docks double the quantity on the opposite shore. You have work enough to cut out for you in carrying your own bill, with out encumbering yourselves with your neighbour's. As your deputy-chairman ought to tell you, Keep your ain breath to cool your ain parritch :' it will be hot enough, or we are much mista ken." This is very witty ; and especially the allusion to the country—Scotland —to which the Deputy Chairman of the Dock Committee belongs, an allusion which might with equal propriety be made to another member of the. Dock Committee, an unvarying opponent of the ma jority in that body. Are the facts alleged in it true? We think not. First, neither £268,000, or any other price, Is fixed upon as " a moderate price to pay for the strand at the north ;" and, in the next place, the Woods and Forests have not "freely given double the quantity on the oppo site shore." The contract fur " the strand at the north" is still, at this moment, an open contract ; and an express clause in the Birkenhead bill, introduced in committee, and passed on the 23d of May (if we are required to be particular as to dates), shews, that thisfree gift from the Woods and Forests is encumbered with conditions which may render it any thing but a windfall, the rights of the crown being just so far freely given, as to enable the Wal lasey projectors to accept them without making absolute geese of themselves, whilst they are withheld just so far as to prevent them making any valuable use of their al leged free gift. In other words, (and we refer the alder man to the " proposals on the part of the crown assented to by the Birkenhead commissioners," dated the 21st May, 1844, and passed by the commitee on the 23d of the same month,) the projectors of the Wallasey Docks are allowed " freely" to enclose a portion of the Pool now subjected to tidal overflow, and to make some 120 acres of land. of which, not the fee simple, but the preference of purchase is to be given to them ! A limited space of quay room they have indeed ; but " no warehouses or buildings, other than huts, shall be erected upon any part of the said quay room !" We are happy to observe by one part of this witty dia tribe, that "no youths still in their apprenticeship will be produced before the Lords' Committee as ' eminent engineers.' " We are glad of this, inasmuch as it will release Mr. George Page, " an assistant of Mr. Rendel," who, we suppose, is the Page alluded to from further at tendance before the committee. Mr. George, or Master George, is certainly not an " eminent engineer," although Mr. Thomas Page, who was examined on the part of the opponents of the bill, is such an engineer. We will pass over the jocosity directed by the Albion against Mr. Alderman Nicol. But one passage in the article we must quote, for the purpose of asking a question of Mr. Evans. The passage is this : " A bargain might be struck with the minority of four not to make a public demonstration of triumph ; a cross fight' could be easily arranged to save appearances; and Mallaby and Worthington, each with his bill in his pocket, might, by this day week, be fighting their battles o'er again, at Lovegrove's,' over white bait and iced Champagne, instead of battling in a hot committee-room. We throw this hint out as an olive branch for both parties to pick up." And this is our question. Was it by this free and easy mode of settling matters, the conservancy of our river and other rights of the Dock Trustees and Corpo ration of Liverpool were handed over to our bitter oppo nents " at Lovegrove's over white bait and iced Cham pagne," when the dock warehouses and other projects were advocated in the House of Commons ? Surely no one unused to the management of such matters could have suggested so happy an " olive branch for both par ties to pick up." PUNCH IN LIVERPOOL. PUNCH'S MANNERS FOR MERCANTILE CLERKS.— Under this title Punch begs to offer his young friends, the mercantile clerks of Liverpool, a few hints as to the best mode of acquiring his own peculiarly correct and amiable deportment, or, in other words of making Punches of themselves. In the first place, dear imitative youths, it is absolutely necessary to have the singularly outre-cut coat, longwaisted and broadlapped, and the waistcoat of the antiquated cut worn by " Young Liverpool." The cravat must be quite a fancy; and a Brummagem pin, which can be had for about eighteenpence, is very derirable ; armed with these, as indispensables, the following ought to be your mode of conducting yourselves to parties call ing on business at the offices of your masters—be begs pardon, your " governors." When a tradesman presents himself on a cold winter's day, for payment of an account or to solicit an order, be standing at the stove rubbing your hands and chatting with one or two fell .nw-n.erk. anu, above an tnings, let such expressions as these be au dible—" Champagne," "claret," " capitalport," " beau tiful girl," " capital spree," &c. They may lead your visitor to suppose that your salary is above £4O a-year and your mother doesn't keep a mangle or take in wash ing. Do not on any account notice him for the first five minutes, unless it is a wet day, or it snows, and then you can indulge yourself with observing, with a philosophic eye, how a man looks under such uncomfortable circum stances. If he attempt to obtrude his business upon you, by addressing you a second time, before you are quite at leisure to attend to him, walk coolly to your desk, hum ming the last new song you have heard at a "Free Con cert Room", and affect to be referring to your day book or a file of bills of lading. If it is the principal of the office, the cashier, or any particular partner whom he wishes to see, by all means let that particular party go out before you inform your visitor of the fact; it is so pleasant to show him how you could have obliged him if you had liked. If it is anything in your own department that is wanted—the petty cash department for instance—walk out, and say as pompously as possible, that you are going "on Change". You can afterwards enjoy the thought of his having to ctll again to see so important a piece of office furniture as yourself. If seen by the intruder upon your valuable leisure, and compelled to attend to his require ments, be as surly as you can, it shows your independence. Never show, by manner or countenance, that you care anything about his communication, however important to your master's—pardon again !—your " governor's" inter ests ; it shows a jaunty and genteel style of doing things. In short, be uncivil and disobliging ; it proves you, con clusively, to be a Liverpool merchants' clerk, and not a poor tradesman or shopkeeper's apprentice. To NEWSPAPER PROPRIETORS.—Mr. Jenkins, of the Morning Post, Legs to offer to conductors of newspapers in Liverpool. a collection of his oldest manuscript cri tiques, which have been so universally admired, and which can be altered, as to names, localities, &c., to suit any occasion; and thus render unnecessary the resort to very recent publications, from which to pilfer criticism, a prac tice which sometimes leads to detection.

On enterin g th e institution he placed in the Lower School, where h e remained forthre was years and a half, and during that period gave constante proof of uncommon abilities by gaining at eve r y examina tion prizes in each department of his course of instruc tion. He was the first who obtained the institution's free scholarship in the High School, a prize for which only boys of the Lower School can stand candidates. This is a youth of great promise, and if his health continue unin terruptedly what it has been up to his present age, there is no doubt but that he will hereafter earn such honours on the place of his introductory education as will be es teemed, by the friends and supporters of that establish ment, an equivalent for the patronage they have bestowed upon him. THREE BOYS NEARLY SUFFOCATED ON A BRICK RILN.—About eight o'clock yesterday morning, three boys of from fourteen to fifteen years of age—John Doyle and John Leigh, (both from Ashey-street) and another unknown—were found in a state of suffocation on a brick clump belonging to Mr. Roberts, in Toxteth-park. They were taken to a public-house, and after being examined by a surgeon, were conveyed to the Southern Hospital by Police-constable Muire (539), where they still remain in a dangerous condition. It was stated yesterday after noon that Doyle was not likely to recover. This ought to operate as a caution to idle and destitute lads and others who occasionally make a practice of sleeping on or about brick-kilns, the gas arising from which is extremely per nicious, and if long inhaled by persons who have fallen sound asleep, or from fatigue, or inebriation, may prove fatal. Parties, moreover, who have no evil intention, and are destitute of lodging, may, on properly making known their case to the police, find shelter for the night by being passed to the Bridevvell or the Night Asylum. ORANGE PROCESSION s.—The following circular, in culcating abstinence from all party demonstrations on the ensuing July anniversaries, has been extensively distribu ted throughout the county Monaghan and adjoining dis tricts from the Grand Master :—" Dear friends and bro thers.—Another anniversary is approaching—the Proces sion Act is still in force—for the last four years you have withstood the taunts of your enemies, and abandoned your processions, in obedience to the laws, by. which you have gained in ail quarters the highest honour and praise. One trial more awaits you before the expiration of the procession Act. You could not gratify your enemies more than by your violation of a law, by which they would see you dragged, like felons, to a gaol, for the cele bration of a day endeared to you by your earliest recol lections. The act will expire on the Ist of August. As Orangemen we must be obedient to the law, whatever opinions we may entertain of it — wheth er 'pay COn to eider it a good or a bad one.

Celebrate th 3 day in your Lodge Rooms. TO THE RT. HON. HENRY GOULBURN. AND CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. Carlton-gardens, London, June 20. Sir,—l beg to submit that the nature and extent of the injury that will be inflicted on the West India planters by the adoption of the me isures proposed by you, on the part of the government, fur the admission of foreign sugar to the home market, do not appear to have been appreciated or well considered in the recent debates that have taken place in the House of Commons. The measure proposed is, that foreign free labour mus covado and clayed sugars are to be admitted at an addi tional duty of 103. ands per cent. per cwt. These are the only descriptive terms hitherto in use, but sugars are now improved and partially refined to a great extent by the use of other means in Java and Manilla, which are not, from the want of sufficient labour, and high wages unavoidably paid, practised in our West India colonies; in such cases grass of a particular kind, united with other means, is used in place of clay, the sugars are also dried in the sun, rendering stove heat unnecessary, the processes being at tended with increased labour and expense. Sugars so prepared are equal in quality to such as are clayed, in colour, grain, and dryness • the loss by them in waste from drainage on the passage here does not exceed 1 to 2 per cent., frequently nothing; whilst that on our muscovados is always from 10 to 14 per cent. In my former letter to you I stated that when these sugars and our muscovados were both refined here, the produce of the clayeds and improved sugar was on an average fully twelve pounds more per hundred weight than from the same quantity of British muscovados; and that the finer descriptions of foreign that are to be ad mitted at 10s. per cwt. will produce from five pounds to ten pounds more when refined here, and in that propor tion increasing the advantage, which, in the first ins ante. as I then showed, is equal to 55., and in the second from 7s. Id. to 9s. 2d., the last reducing the proposed pro tection to 10d. in place of 103. These facts must necessarily induce the foreign growers, from the time they are known to them, with the advan tages they possess in having an unlimited supply of cheap labour, to prepare their sugars intended for this market of the highest description of fineness that will be admitted here. As it is at present the declared intention of the govern ment to give 10s. and 5 per cent. per cwt. protection to British sugars over foreign, I have shown that these inten tions must be defeated, and the proposed protection ex tinguished, by measures with which the British planters, from their want of labour, have not the power to compete. The government have, at the same time, desired it to be understood that this system is to be the basis of such other measures as may hereafter be brought forward and adopted, thus destroying the chance of future relief. To meet this difficulty, and diminish its injurious effects, I ventured to suggest to you that a further duty ought to be laid on foreign clayed sugars, and such others as are of similar quality and fineness, the amount to be in propor tion to the improvement prodived by these processes, so as, in point of fact, the proposed protection of lOs on mus covados must be realised, which would require to be not less than 7s. more per cwt. At the same time I admitted the fairness of the princi ple, that whenever the West Indian planters were in pos session of a sufficient supply of labour on such terms as would enable them to convert and improve the quality of their muscovados by claying, or other means, so as to be equal to the foreign, that they should also be made subject to a similar rateable additional duty, which would not only he just in itself, but that it was formerly acted upon when labour was abundant and comparatively cheap in our West India colonies, which enabled our planters to clay their sugars, and on which they found it to be to their interest to pay an additional duty of ss. per cwt. above that on muscovados, although I think that on the last did not then exceed 20s.—a system they would, I doubt not, be happy to resume,and submit to, for the protection of the revenue, whenever they may obtain such a supply of labour on moderate terms as would enable them to do so but until that time arrives, a fair rateable duty on foreign clayed sdgars, and such as are of similar qnality, would be the means required to protect them to the extent of the proposed duty on foreign muscovades of 10s. which will otherwise he rendered nugatory and unavail ing, thus defeating the avowed measures of the Govern ment. This duty on British clayed sugars was also deemed necessary for the protection of the revenue, as the quan tity of pure sugar, or saccharine matter, was greater, and in that proportion the quantity consumed and duty paid was proportionately reduced. I hope I may have made myself understood, for the subject is indeed a vital one to our West India planters, and that the view I have placed before you, may, whilst it is yet time, be fully considered by the Government. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your faithful and obedient servant. JOHN GLADSTONE. The members of St. Thomas's Church, Toxteth-park, who were recently confirmed, have presented their excel lent minister, the Rev. Walter Butler, M.A., with a Bible, Prayer Book, and Buddicom's Christian Exodus, in 2 volumes, beautifully bound, as a grateful acknow ledgement of bis indefatigable attention to them while under examination. We record with pleasure such marks of respect to the excellent clergy of our Apostolical church. GRAND HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION.—The second horticultural exhibition of the season, at the Botanical Gardens. will take mace on Friday next. and is e xpected to be the most splendid that was ever got up in this loca lity, the number of competitors being great, and the wea ther being latterly propitious for the growth of plants, fruits, &c. The exhibition being held iq the gardens is an additional and !strong attraction, as the grounds—in which the promenade may be enjoyed ad libitum—have much improved of late years ; and the conservatory, an inspection of which is itself worth the admission money, will be thrown open to visitors. ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—CAUTION TO PASSEN GERS.—Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, as the Bir benhead steam-boat neared the landing-place at George's Pier, a seaman belonging to one of her Majesty's steam ers, who was on board, in his anxiety stepped from the vessel towards the Seacombe ferry-boat, which was be tween her and the steps, before the latter had sheered to, and not having gained a safe footing., fell into the water between the two. The paddle-wheels of the Birkenhead boat were still turning slightly at the time, and the first impression of those on board was that he would be crushed between the two, or smashed by the floats. By the prompt and active exertions, however, of the Birkenhead boatmen, who instantly threw him a rope, he was extricated without personal injury. This escape ought to be a cantion to passengers never to leap or step from the vessel they are in until she is fairly alongside the quay or the outward v essel. LIVERPOOL POSTOFFICE.—We beg to call the attention of our readers to a memorial in the course of signature for the closing of the Postoffice on Sundays. It appears thousands of individuals, in consequence of its being open, are always engaged, more or less, with their usual business on that day, and thus either entirely prevented from at tending to the religious duties of the day, or going through them in such a frame of mind as precludes the possibility of deriving little or any good from them. A little altera tion in the despatch of the mails from a few other towns, and a later delivery of letters in Liverpool in the evening, would obviate any evil which might possibly arise from the change. As a proof that the measure is very generally desired, we may mention, that of 1300 householders, (merchants, agents, tradesmen, &c.,) residing in one neighbourhood, only nine wish to have their letters on Sundays. We think no religious person will hesitate to sign the memorial ; and we trust no other person, after carefully considering the subject in all its important bear ings, will need pressing to do so. THE WEATHER, during the past week has been con siderably more genial in this neighbourhood than for many weeks previously ; and its happy effects are al ready visible in the improved verdure, and, we may now almost say, luxuriant appearance of the country. Several soft showers felt on Thursday and Friday, but still not sufficient to penetrate the soil to the desirable depth for general vegetation after so long a general drought—a soaking downful of some days being " the consumma tion devoutly to be wished." We have since, however, been still more favored, and are inclined to encourage a hope that the products of the field, taken generally, will with a favorable season for gathering in, amount to at least an average yield. The wheat looks remarkably well, and will probably be good, and perhaps heavy in grain, though for the most part shorter than usual in straw. The oats and barley do not look quite so healthy, but are yet promising, and may be greatly redeemed, if feeding rains continue for some time. Much of the hay-grass has been cut, and a great part of it stacked, but the crop has been generally very thin. A strong after crop is, however, expected. On Saturday the atmosphere became warmer, and on Sunday the thermometer attained the greatest heat it has this year indicated. During an early part of the morning it stood, in a northern aspect, in Lord-street, at 59°. At 9 A.m. it had rise n to 64°, a t 3 o James's-terrace stooda es t s a at exposed the Observatory, tosun's rays) it rose to 79°.

In connection with the subject of the weatherrj.n n s e y t h . town,uar that w e extraordinarymayhere by mead in London on Sunday. The writer states that the He proceeds—" At two o'clock, p.m. the " shade" thermometer, north aspect screened, stood at 86, and the sun" thermometer was, in the south aspect, 107. At three o'clock the one in the shade indicated the extraor dinary height of 88, and that in the sun o'clock they stood relatively 85and 99. I placed a ther mometer at two o'clock in more direct • • opposition to the morning by an i sun's rays, which raised the spirit to 121 degrees* of Fahrenheit. The air is still (5 o'clock) indicative of sur charged electricity, and the thermometer stands—shade 85 , sun 96. I have no recollection of such extreme heat in London." * This is probably a mistake either of the writer or typographist, as, if we recollect aright, the spirit at so high a temperature would, in all probability, burst the glass.

With his own hand he is represented to have shot six, and is said to be one of the greatest monsters till t ever existed, and his natural ferocity is said to be mach increased by an immoderate use of rum.

COFFEE.—The reduction in the duty on coffee is an' nounced in another column, by Messrs. Hollis, Watford, and Co. ; and if public patronage in any way denotes the quality of the article they offer, theirs must be equal to any. The flavour is exactly to our palate. THE IRISH VICEROYALTY.—The Duke of Richmond has been mentioned as the probable successor of Earl de Grey as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but there is reason to believe that Lord Heytesbury will b e appointed to that important post. CUSTOM HOUSE FRAUDS .—The following verdicts were found for the crown in the cases specified, in the Court of Exchequer, on Friday; Attorney General v. Candy £2,918 18s. Same v. Deane £2,91818x. Same r. Candy £2,755 4s. Same r. Dean £2,755 4s. CARPETS, &c.—We bed to direct the attention of our readers, particularly those furnishing, to the advertise ment of Mr. Hutton, in another column. His stock is extensive, and of such a character as cannot fail to give general satisfaction. Letters from Stettin dated the 18th inst. state, that the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia. the Prince Royal of Prussia, the Dowager Grand Duchess of Meek lenburgh Schwerin, and her daughter had arrived in that town, and that the Emperor and the two Princesses had embarked for Swinemunde. A CONSIDER kTE KING.—The National states, that the King of Wurtemberg, in order to prove his solicitude for the welfare of his subjects, has forbidden any exhibi tion of rope dancing in his dominions, in order, as lle declared in his proclamation, to spare the spectators dap• gerons emotions. IMPORTATION OF COFFEE.—It appears that in 1840 the quantity of coffee retained was 28,664,3411b5-; ja 1841, 28,370,1571b5. ; in 1842, 28,519,7301b5. ; a nd in 1843, 29,979,4041b5., of which last-mentioned quantity 20,130,6301h5. was the produce of British possessions? and 9,818,7741b5. foreign. SALMON.—The Salmon fisheries in Scotland, and is the north of England, this season, are unusually full of fine fish, large quantities of which have, during the last fortnight, been taken, as may be inferred from the fact, that in the markets, fine large salmon are selling at the reasonable prices of 7d. and Bd. per pound, and salmoti trout as low as 4d. and 41d. per pound of 14 ounces. THE SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF LONDON.—At $ meeting of this society, held on the 13th instant, at their rooms at Somerset-place, Strand, the Rev. D.

IRISH STATE TRIAI.S.—It will he seen that the eircuith are to be postponed for the writ of error in the state trials, but such postponement is not to exceed ten days. We confess ourselves unable to perceive the justice of any postponement at all. Why are some hundreds of persons to suffer ten days' additional imprisonment, and, still worse, so many days of the torture of suspense, for the sake of eight men, whose imprisonment is. as compared with theirs, a luxurious retreat ? Legal Periodical. DISTRESS OF THE WIDOW AND FAMILY OF AN OLD AND WELL•KNOWN PUBLIC SERVANT.—Patrick Mur phy, better known as " Pat of Birkenhead slip," died last week, leaving a wife and ten children unprovided for, to deplore his loss. " Pat" was quite a character in hie way, and well known at the ferries, he having plied on the river Mersey for upwards of thirty years. Before the in troduction of steam on the river Mersey, " Pat" was al ways inquired for, as no man was better acquainted with the navigation of the river or time working of a ferry boat. This venerable boatman's family, we trust, will not b e lost sight of by the humane, and we shall be glad to re ceive any subscriptions on their behalf. OPENING LETTERS.—Few persons are aware how let ters are opened and re-sealed by the Post-office. Wafers are opened by the application of moisture, and sealed letters are opened thus :—The letter is laid on an anvil with the seal up, upon the seal is laid a square piece of pure lead, and upon this lead descends a hammer wits considerable velocity. The sudden impact converts the lead into a seal as faithful as an electrotype, and accord ingly it is used to re-seal the letter, which is now opened by destroying the wax bit by bit. For all letters simi' larly sealed, the lead seal will do. A blunderer in the management must have recently led to suspicion. Ie small country towns, curious postmistresses keep by there an assortment of seals, with impressions of hearts, darts] &c., for the purpose of enabling them to get at little secrets. AWFUL TRAGEDY.—The Dublin Evening Freeman publishes the following extract from a letter, dated Gort, June 21 :—`' A horrible murder took place within a fey , ' miles of this town yesterday evening. A pensioner residing near Gort went home and murdered his two sons —one 13 years of age, and the other 15 years ; and is attempting to murder his daughter, she clasped her hands round her neck, and he instantly cut her right breast off He also attempted to murder his wife. He cut the fore finger of the right hand off, and the next two are nearly the same. The two boys have departed this life, and also the daughter. The mother is nearly distractel since it took place. The murderer is in the bridewell in Gort. They were all asleep in their beds at the time the murder was committed. The name of the murderer is Peter Lurkin."
