Owing to the great expense incurred in getting out the Drawing, the Standard will, on this occasion, be charged SIXPENCE ; and persons living at a distance must remit Twopence extra for postage TO CORRESPONDENTS, Owing to a press of advertisements at a late hour, we have been compelled to omit several articles which are in type. BRANDT.-Mr. Pollock does not attend the sessions, unless specially retained. Mr. James attends the Court of Passage. ➢lr. T. Atkinson attends the sessions regularly.—Letters for these gentlemen may be addressed to the Assize Courts. ILEx.—We shall be happy to receive communications on the subject of which be treats. G. D. We admire his zeal ; but matters of pressing moment occupy our columns at present. MR. RAMSHAY AND THE COUNTY COURT.—A correspondent, who encloses his card, has forwarded us a communication, in which he states that " until a few days ago he entertained the most unflattering opinion of the Judge of the County Court in this town." Ile made it his business, in the course of the last sitting, to attend the court; and he now considers " that Mr. Ramshay has been most unjustly used, by parties who were either ignorant of that gentleman's real cha racter, or who were biassed by the harsh and unjust opinions of others" ; " that he never saw business more systematically or better conducted; and so far from the Judge treating the poorer classes with contempt, he invariably—when com pelled by law to give execution—showed the greatest sympa thy towards them, and exhorted the plaintiffs to be lenient in carrying the orders of the court into effect, expressing his hope that an arrangement would be effected with the defendants, which might be satisfactory on both sides." We shall be happy at all times to receive communications on subjects of local or general interest; and if our frienls will be good enough to authenticate the same by their signa tures, for our own satisfaction, we shall feel obliged. 00'" CIRCULATION OF THE LIVERPOOL PAPERS. The Report of Mr. Milner Gibson's Committee on News paper Stamps has just been printed ; appended to which is an official return of the number of Stamps issued to each Newspaper in Great Britain and Ireland. Amongst the various absurdities and inaccuracies with which the Report and Returns abound, the circulation of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD in 1850 is put down at LESS THAN HALF of what it actually was, or about ONE THIRD of its average during the present quarter. We understand that the return for Gore's Advertiser is also a gross error. The circulation for 1850 should, we are inormed, be 67,288. instead of 25,000. Etberpoot :tattbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 23, 1851 BEQUESTS TO ROMANISM. IF the absurd folly of the clerical agitators in Ireland has done nothing for the Romish Church, it has done a great deal to bring the people of this country to a common-sense consideration of the state of their own laws on that particular subject. We have been long accustomed to a cry that the obsolete lawsagainstßomanism ought to berepealed, and it has resulted in the inquiry as to whether the laws that favour it should not rather meet a similar fate. The chief of these is the power of be queathing money to the uses of the Church, or of making at all or in any case clerical legatees. The number of instances in which not only the old and infirm, who were without issue, have been induced to bequeath their property for the purposes of the Romish Church, but also where families needy and even desolate have: been disinherited, (we use the word in place of a stronger,) have become so great since the attempted revival of Popery in this country, that the legislature is called upon to pro tect the public from any further plunder. It is, indeed, a proof of the boasted unchangeableness of the Romish Church, at least in this particular, that a Parliament of Queen Victoria should be called upon to take the same stand against Popish priests as was taken by a Parliament of Richard 11. Yet such appeared to be before Mr. Headlam's com mittee the opinion of all Roman Catholic witnesses not exactly or directly interested in the plunder in question. They were unanimous in advising that there should be no more Roman Catholic legatees, of the order of priests. The exact form of restric- tion was not particularly pointed out by any one, but it was clear that ecclesiastical legatees were either to be wholly prohibited, or the amount left to the Church carefully restricted. The lay wit nesses desired, in fact, that some legislation, with objects similar to those of the statutes of Mort main, should be attempted. One of them, Mr. Riddell, a Roman Catholic barrister, says, in reply to the committee, about bequests to priests, " People who are not actuated by very warm religious feelings will ascribe undue influence to the party who takes the benefit, and prevent access to a dying person b 3 his spiritual director. It prevents the very object for which the money is given, viz., the increase and support of the Roman Catholic religion, which in many cases is very much injured by that circumstance." Ile therefore " knows no reason why Roman Catholics should regard the proposed incapacitating laws as being aimed against the Roman Catholic religion, and thinks that they are de sirable for the priest's own ch arac t er , an d f or t h e protec tion of the laity. It is only carrying out a principle which already exists." Cardinal Wiseman, however, thinks quite the con. trary. He is not particular about the " priest's own character ;" and as to the " protection of the laity," that is not all amongst his calculations. He dismisses the matter by saying that " these are ecclesiastical questions, which we cannot conceive to be proper matter for discussion in Parliament." Really we could be disposed to fancy we were back in the days when A'Beckett " Did with his rebel crozier bruise the crown." Restrain parliament from dealing with the law of property where Popery is concerned, and next you must restrain it from dealing with the criminal law where priests are concerned. Dr. Wiseman's no tions are as far at variance with modern law as his pomp is at variance with modern etiquette. There is, however, one Romish priest who has spoken out far more honestly on the subject before the com mittee—the Reverend Francis Trappes, described as a "Roman Catholic cleryman doing duty at Hull." He declares candidly that " There is a passage in the canons of Trent whi c h com . pletely condemns the abuses in question. It ad m it s t h at great abuses had arisen in the Church, especially from avarice with regard to masses, and it decrees that for the future no bargains, or conditions, or rewards for saying BMWs shell eYer be entord ip.o 3 . Li will be feud in the 22nd session of the council: ram not aware that the bishops in England enforce that 'canon. It is only de claratory of the old canon law. If an act of Parliament were now passed forbidding those solicitations and exac tions, and making void gifts for masses, it could certainly not be considered inconsistent with the legislation of the Roman Catholic Church." Mr. Trappes is perfectly right that the "Bishops of England" do not enforce that canon, and much less the (Popish) Bishops of Ireland. They are both suppoted by " the voluntary system"—that is to say, by certain " dues" extorted by refusing sacra ments and masses to the recusant; in simple fact, under the penalty of an interdict. The decree of the Council of Trent, therefore, in Dr. M‘Hale's opinion, " would never do for Galway;" and there fore the "bargains and conditions and rewards for saying masses," by the Council abolished, are by the modern Popish bishops duly entered into. But Father Trappes—who seems as honest a priest as the worthy friar Peter Walsh, in the 17th century —gives another hard blow at the deathbed system of practice. He says : "It was prohibited in the very early canons that ecclesi astics should be executors of wills, or employed in things of that kind. There is a well-known instance of Cyprian forbidding a man to be prayed for after he was dead, as a punishment for having employed a clergyman as his ex ecutor, and the priest was excommunicated for having undertaken the office. If, therefore, the provisions of the Code Napoleon, which prevents priests from being execu tors or trustees, or receiving any benefit under the wills of their penitents, were adopted in this country, certainly no Roman Catholic would have a right to exclaim against that as a measure of persecution. I think it would be a desirable law, and most essential in any church, because people I believe are often found who are willing to avail themselves of the weakness of others. There should be some efficient regulation. By the present state of things everybody can drive through the law; nobody minds it. I have been told by monks that they havea rule forbidding it. The Jesuits have a very strictrule. Infraction of itwould be considered an act contrary to the vow of obedience." Reader, are you astonished that Father Trappes, who gave this evidence, has been " removed by order of his diocesan" from Hull, and that be ;s not yet restored ! We hope and trust that he will have the sense to obey no summons to Rome. The " walls" of St. Angelo " have" not " ears;" and the Jesuits say long since that the crime is nothing— but indiscretion is everything. In the meantime, we are glad to know that an effectual effort will be made neat session to stop the system that tries ~ with impious hand To shake the dying sinner's sand ;" and that the parliament which can ruthlessly take our flower gardens,if they happen to be in the course of a railway, will not hesitate to restrain our power of making testaments, if we desire to use it for the advancement of Romish inventions. PROTECTIONIST TACTICS.- MR. DISRAELI. IT is consolatory to find one man possessed of suffi cient courage to meet the false statement that the agricultural population, and chiefly those who have capital invested in such speculations, have not suffi ciently taken advantage of the state of science, and that they have not made the land sufficiently pro ductive. Mr. Disraeli has met the statement with facts, and they show triumphantly that even when the farmers of England did not apprehend the removal of protection, they were exhibiting an enter prise unknown to other nations, and were producing per acre infinitely more than America or France. The very charge of negligent cultivation so falsely made by the League admitted in itself the Protec tionist argument, that if cultivation was not neg ligent, foreign nations had an advantage of soil, extent, position, and resources. The charge now falls to the ground, and the argument stands. If America, producing far less per acre, can undersell us, the cry of better cultivation is simply a delusion and a snare. But the truth is, that this whole cry of superior cultivation was an after-thought. Sir Robert Peel repeatedly declared that he did not anticipate any considerable fall in prices. He pro fessed,. whether he believed it or not, a hope of reciprocity and general prosperity that by some extraordinary paradox was to make bread cheap without lowering the price of it. How be has sue• ceeded, we can look around us and discover ; and it is but fair to conjecture, that had he lived to see the results of his policy he would hardly have availed himself of the poor sophistry of what is called the free-trade press, but once more admitted his error and altered his course. The question now, however, that presses most is how the crisis that is upon us can be met. The ministry have clearly abandoned the argument on the free-trade question. They do not propose to appeal to the country upon their policy, but to start a new constitution and resign upon its defeat, so that they may try at the hustings an entirely differ ent matter. This new project, the organs of the Government say, will be desperately opposed by the Protectionists, but the Protectionists say it will receive no such treatment at their hands. They will see what are its details, and hear an account of its intended mode of operation, and according as its merits seem to be, decide upon it. Assuredly whatever party has fear of any further extension of popular power, the Conservative party need have none at all. In the meantime it is false to say that the Conser vative party cries out for protection and for that alone. It believes that in just protection the interests of every class of the community could be consulted best, but it believes also that under :any system there ought to be an equalization of burden—and that while one class in the community pretends to despise the importance of the agricultural interest, it shall still be saddled in a manner so enormously disproportionate with the taxes of the country. A very little time, however, will tell how the matter is to be settled, for the great proposition of the Government must be the renewal of the income-tax. Parliament has reverted to the good old policy of stopping the supplies. By limiting the duration of the income-tax, it has taken away that support which Peel felt he had behind him in cutting the Gordian knot in 1846, and before the ministry shall be enabled to renew that tax they must he forced to adjust taxation, or to give up their office to those who will. THE SHIPBUILDING TRADE OF LIVERPOOL. One of the most important inquiries ever made by a committee of the Council of Liverpool was that of the committee upon the shipbuilding accommodation of the port. It was clearly shown, as the result of their labours, that a large portion of that valuable trade was leaving us; and the closing since of several of our large establishments has proved that the committee were correct in their views. But, we ask, has anything been done ? Where is the in creased accommodation which was promised us ? We look for it in vain. Our shipwrights are still a neglected class, in work one day and out of it the next. Our foundries and machine-shops are only half employed ; and some once-thriving portions of the town present a sad quantity of untenanted dwellings. This ought not to be. The capital of Liverpool ought not to be driven to import its ships from the Clyde or the Tyne; nor is there any suffi cient reason why repairing should be done more cheaply in Runcorn than in the docks or yards of our own town. THE REGISTRATION Whilst the public mind is occupied with the prepara tions for the Royal visit, political feeling is very likely to slumber. We must not, however, allow it to be forgotten that we have preparations to make for the far more im portant business of asserting our constitutional rights ; and that a general election is, in all probability, not dis tant. The Borough Registration Court commenced its sitting yesterday ; and it behoves the Conservative elec tors of Liverpool to be upon the alert, and to see that their names are upon the list of voters. The enemy is watchful and energetic. Objections have been very freely and unscrupulously served ; and they must be combated, if we have any serious wish to see Liverpool once more represented by proper men. The County Registration Court commences its sittings on Thursday next; and, if the freeholders be true to themselves, we can with some confidence assure them that South Lancashire may be made safe. Let it be borne in mind that Liverpool and South Lancashire sound the key notes of the political feeling of the most important district in the united kingdom. It was the South Lancashire Conservative Association which, somewhat above fifteen years ago, commenced that triumphant movement, which re sulted in placing a Conservative minister in the House of Commons with a majority of 91 votes at his back. That minister, it is true, betrayed his trust. But the same energies of the same men may once more effect as signal a triumph in returning to power a government composed of more honest and consistent statesmen. we would most strongly urge upon every elector, and espe cially the freemen of Liverpool, to attend the court at once. Every assistance will be afforded them on applica tion to the active secretary, at the office of the Constitu— tional Association. The proccedings a terdayArc re podia in our Sixth page THE QUEEN'S VISIT. In proportion as•the great and auspicious day on which the beloved Sovereign of these realms is to visit her loyal and loving subjects on the banks of the Mersey approaches, does the intensity• of anxiety as to giving a reception worthy of so gracious and revered a Monarch increase. The Queen's visit is the all-engrossing theme, and every new fact, however trifling, is seized upon with loyal avidity. And yet, after all, it is difficult to obtain any.- thing like information, to gratify the laudable anxiety of the public, from those who are in the executive. Why this should be, is somewhat peculiar, but so it is ; new fact is only obtained like water from an ill-filled sponge, by hard squeezing, and then what is produced is scarce worth the labour in bringing it forth. The enquiries which were instituted yesterday ought, and would, had they been met in a proper spirit, have pro duced treble the information which we are enabled now to present to an ardent and loyal public. Why should this secresv be ? Does loyalty, in Liverpool, dwell exclusively in the Town-hall—in the sacred precincts of the Council Chamber—more than in the generous hearts of a loving and adoring general public? In Manclizster 'A is not so. There the press is not only afforded every information, upon enquiry, but column upon column of facts are fur nished to them. The facts we subjoin we condense from what has already been published, with such scraps of fresh information as we have been enabled to lay h ands upon. The official route itself, which is as follows, is said to have been altered, yet without any intimation having been given to the newspapers to intimate the same to the public. The Mayor and Council, with the Corporate officials, will meet her Majesty at the boundaries of the borough. In coming from Croxteth her Majesty will pass the Zoo logical Gardens, then proceed down Brunswick-road, along Moss-street, Daulby-street, into Brownlow-street, up Brownlow-hill, into Mount-pleasant, cross into Hope street, down Hardman -street, Leece-street, Bold-street, Church-street, Lord-street, James street, along the Goree piazzas, over the bridge at the north end of the George's Dock, to the Landing -stage, where she will embark on board her yacht the Fairy, at eleven o'clock. On landing from her yacht her Majesty will proceed over the same bridge, along the Goree, Strand-street, round the south front of the Custom-house, passing the Sailors' Home; thence up South Castle-street, along Lord-street, Church street, Parker -street, Lime -street, to the east front of St. George's-hall, and, without alighting from her carriage, pass down St. John's-lane, up Manchester-street and Dale-street, to the Town-hall. On proceeding from the Town-hall to the Railway-station, her Majesty will pass along Dale -street, Manchester -street, St. John's-lane, to the north end of St. George's-hall, where she will pro bably alight for the purpose of privately inspecting the building ; after which she will proceed to the Railway station, en route to Worsley-hall. To this arrangement considerable objection has been made, and it would, of course, be quite impossible to please all parties. Castle street should certainly have been included in the route, as it is one of the finest thoroughfares in the town, and affords a better approach to the Town-hall than Dale street, through which the Royal party will pass twice. It has been suggested to us that the route should be ex tended further along Hope-street, so as to pass the new Unitarian Chapel, and obtain a view of Gambier-terrace, and, passing down Sandon-terrace, have a full view of our noble Cemetery, and then turn along Rodney-street, as far as Leece-street, and thereby give a view of part of one of our best streets, Rodney-street, instead of only crossing it, as at present intended. We last week mentioned that the Dock Committee would pro:Ted on a voyage of exploration on the river. They did so, and the arrangements will be as follow _ ._..-.. The royal yacht, together with two steamers, containing the Council and the members of the Dock Committee, will proceed, in the first instance, to the extremity of the new North Docks, keeping on the passage close to the Prince's and other pierheads, which will, of course, be crowded with spectators. The yacht will then be steered towards the Rock Lighthouse, and will proceed up the Cheshire coastalmost as far as Eastham, when the river will be again recrossed, and the yacht, with two accompanying steamers, will come down leisurely by the Lancashire side to the landing-stage, where the disembarcation will be effected, the total distance to be travelled being nearly ten miles. The City of Dublin Steam Packet Company and Messrs. M`lver have each offered gratuitously one of their fine steamers for the use of the corporate and dock autho rities, and both offers, we learn, have been gratefully ac cepted. No other vessel, we believe, will be allowed to steam after the yacht; but any number of craft will be allowed, with flags flying, to cast anchor near to the royal route, as now indicated, aid the dee'. s, rigging, with every mast and spar, will, of course, be lively with spectators. It has been in contemplation to provide seats on the land ing-stage to accommodate some 3,000 persons. The benches or forms would be raised one above the other ; and this would constitute the most pleasing situation through which the royal cortege could be viewed. The various ferry steamers will land and take in their passen gers, temporarily, at the Prince's-pier. Various suggestions have been made as to providing accommodation for spec tators on the Prince's-parade and other sites from which a view of the proceedings may be obtained; an aquatic procession, which would give increased effect to the inte rest and splendour of the fife, has also been mentioned ; but as yet the committee have not come to any decision upon these matters, nor upon the arrangements generally. The arrangements in the Town-hall will be as we stated them last week ; but instead, as we then announced, of each member of council being allowed five privilege tick,tickets, a i o c t o t e n d s . e q u l e t n i c ia e s o b f ee the d pr e c ec i d s e r d i bteod admitspac e , b h u e threet public by tickets (issued to the members of the council, the pro prietors, subscribers, and tenants) to the area of the Ex change itself, which will easily accommodate, standing, about SOOO persons. The entrances from 'Water-street and Dale-street will be barricaded, second admission afforded by the gates at the north, west, and east, or by doors placed in the barricades, as may hereafter be deter mined. If the proceedings at St. George's-hall had been carried on with one-tenth the vigour for the last ten years as they have been for the last few weeks, that magnificent building would not now present the unfi nished appearance it does. And why should this not have been the case ? Simply because the lethargic spirit that crushes all progress in Liverpool was not combated with. Evidence has been given, or is being given, that the hall might have been finished, and " all made clear," years ago. Thanks to a royal visit, the public will not only bask in the smiles of the royal presence, but derive great and substantial good therefrom. Almost all the rubbish and building materials have been cleared away from the exterior of the building, and the site is now enclosed by a wooden pallisade about eight feet high. The devoted rails have met with the unmitigated and unanimous disapproval of our contemporaries. We know not why ; unless it be that, as with a favourite game with boys, that one ven tured to urge the fault, and all the others followed the leader. Suppose that her Majesty does alight at the hall, it does not follow that she will proceed along the inclosure between the rails and building ; and if she does, her loyal subjects of Liverpool know their duty too well to tear away their line of boundary; for had the barrier been but four feet high, as some have suggested, only the first front line or two of spectators would have been enabled to view the royal cortegelt But the mo desty and consistency of some of our contemporaries,— we don't doubt their loyalty,—who for years have ex pended their lungs in shouting for economy, —suggesting that the present railing shall be removed for the occasion —of ten minutes' duration,—and afterwards replaced ? If the railing be good at all, it is good now. A four-foot barrier would neither be an obstacle to keep out of the precincts of the works during the coming winter nights improper characters, or to guard the operations against the attacks of unprincipled or self-aggrieved workmen. We had the pleasure, at the last Ascot races, of witnessing our sovereign lady attend, to participate in the pleasures of the turf, No sooner was it announced that the Royal party had entered the course, than the hundreds of thou. sands of human beings who thronged the two miles " run home" simultaneously separated on each side, as though impelled by a magic wand, and the Royal party passed up uninterrupted, but by the loyal greetings of the countless thousands of loving adherents. Are the people of Liver pool less loyal than those on Ascot-heath ? On Friday the head-constable presented a report to the sub-committee appointed to decide upon the police and other arrangements on the occasion of her Majesty's visit. Her Majesty's line of route throughout the town will be about four miles, exclusive of the river excursion. It has been decided, in regard to the due protection of the caval cade from pressure, and, at the same time, to afford the greatest facilities for the public to see the Queen, that barricades shall be erected for the entire length of the route, of such a width as will permit the Royal cavalcade to pass freely, and yet to be so arranged that the public shall have the best advantages for seeing their Sovereign. There will also be other barricades at the ends of the dif ferent streets by which the procession will pass, and in those places where unusual pressure may be expected a zigzag barrier will be erected, similar to that which was used at the Albert Dock on the occasion of Prince Albert's visit. It is further intended to lay a bed of gravel within those barriers through which her Majesty will pass, that the carriages may traverse the route without slipping. All the police are to be on duty on the occasion, and they will be instructed to admit no person within the barriers except such as are official. But, if the police force will be insuffi cient of itself for this duty, it is proposed to enrol at least a thousand young men of respectability, who are to be distinguished by the name of " Her Majesty's Guard of Honour," and who, in conjunction with the civil autho rities, are to assist within the barriers to preserve the way. Those who are desirous of forming constituents of this honourable guard are desired to give in their names and residences to Mr. Dowling, the head-constable, who will open a book for their reception at his office in High street. This Eody-guard to the Queen will have excellent places appropriated to them for seeing her Majesty, and each member of the corps will be presented with an elegant rosette, which he will we ar f or the day as his symbol of office. The Council are, it is said, open to receive applications from persons desirous of erecting stages, platforms, and the like, on property belonging to the town which may be unoccupied, and the use of which they will grant to proper persons free of charge. A meeting of the genera l committee was held on Saturday, at which several points were decided. The front of the Town-hall is to be illu minated with a novel and beautiful device by Mr. Alfred King, engineer of the gasworks. The question of a gene ral illumination has been considered, and is left to the taste and discretion of the inhabitants. The the a t res w ill not be opened by the authorities to the publi c , b ut t h e sill Zoological Gardens he thrown open for the admission by ticket of 6,400 persons, 100 tickets of admission being placed at the disposed of eack member of the council, The gardens are to be illuminated, and a display of fire works with emblematieal devices and transparencies will be exhibited, and entertainments added such as are given by Mrs. Atkins on gala nights. Two other displays of fireworks will be made, one at the north and the other at the south end of the town. Th e enc l ose d space in front of St. George's-hall will be appropriated to the children of the various charity-schools, upwards of 24,000 in num ber; and a sum of money will be placed at the disposal of the manager of each of the schools, to be appropriated for a treat to the children. It is in contemplation to erect a triumphal arch at the bottom of Brunswick-road, at the entrance of the town. The preparations at Croxteth for the reception of her Majesty are progressing with all possible despatch. It is understood that a tent will be erected in the park, near the south-east entrance to the hall, in order to entertain the tenants of the Earl, who will, it is supposed, number about 500. we last ni g ht received intimation that, after a royal communicatio n , some slight alteration is to take place in the royal route through the town. Instead of her her loyal subjects half way up Castle-street, by Ma jestypro- going down James's-street, it is purposed to gladden ceeding up Castle -street to Brunswick -street, down which she will pass and proceed over the north bridge to the Landing -stage. Now, this, deubtlessly, is an im provement, but it is another instance of our local legislators dealing in half measures. If her Majesty could be brought half-way up Castle-street, why could she not be brought the whole length and so proceed down Water-street ? thus preventing the friendly-unfriendly jealousy of one-half of the inhabitants of this loyal and best -constructed street in the town. To this arrange ment no valid reason can possibly be urged. We have been surprised to learn that the number of young men solicited to constitute her " Majesty's Guard of Honour," is, as yet, insignificant. This is more strange, as the office is purely formal. All that is required is, that the parties so enrolling themselves shall swell out the "order force." the distinctive mark of office being a white rosette—the reward of office, a good place to see everything. THE APPROACHES TO LIVERPOOL. We can readily believe that one of the greatest difficul ties in the way of the committee appointed to arrange for the Royal Visit has been the want of a decent approach to the town. The state of London-road and Dale-street is anything but creditable. Long ago the unsightly property on the right hand, ascending Shaw's- brow, ought to have been removed, to open out the view of the north end of St. George's-hall. The approach from the Lime street Station is equally bad. There is not a single direct access to it from the centre of the town ; and hence we have to take the Royal Party by the circuitous route of Parker-street and Elliot -street. The state of the property in the immediate neighbourhood of so splendid a building is as wretched as it can be. The unoccupied ground at the back of the Fish Nlarket is in a disgusting condition; and it would be well if it could be blocked up, by some contrivance, from the Royal sight and sense of smell. The whole of Roe.street should be temporarily closed as an abomination. Surely this visit will stir up the autho rities of Liverpool to some vigorous effort to amend their ways.. There is not a town in the kingdom more capable from its situation of being made worthy of the admiration of strangers visiting it; yet there is scarcely one, the very centre of which is more u ns i g htl y an d di sgraceful in its sanatory arrangements. I n no way cou ld we more properly celebrate the present auspicious visit of her Majesty, and prepare for that more formal one which is promised us, than by originating the formation of a good street from Castle-street or the Town-hall, to St. George's hall and the Lime•street Station. Why not compliment her Majesty by building a splendid " Queen-street." THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER. Throughout both Manchester and Salford there is very large preparation for illumination. An order has been given in London for an expensive and complex design of great beauty for the Manchester Town Hall, and another for the Exchange. The Salford Town Hall is to be illu minated, and nearly all the large houses in town have given orders. The various gas-fitters and decorators have found it to their advantage to expend some money in gas, and every night one or more displays some loyal device in front of his shop. We find that already windows and rooms in houses along the line of route are " to let," or -have been let for the day. The committee of the Salford D spensary have let the balcony over the door and the room adjoining for £5 ; and several other windows " have fetched good prices." Others we have heard of, but the sums said to be paid are so large that the tales must be fabulous. —Manchester Courier. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. , MONDAY NIGHT. The Standard says, the general LONDON tenor of the accounts from the Continent this morning has not tended to in crease confidence in the preservation of order, and the French funds having come lower, the value of our domestic securities has been also depresssd. The Glole says, commercial credit continues to be doubted, and although no actual failures have occurred within the last few days, there is, nevertheless, much con cern left upon this point. Affairs on the Continent also fail to present encouraging appearances, and hence busi ness is generally kept in a doubtful position. GREAT EXHIBITION.—The total number of visitors this day was 59,244, and cash taken £2,866 6s.
