PLAN & HAND BOOK OF BIRKENHEAD. Though the sale of our last impression amounted to many thousands beyond our usual number, yet we were compelled to disappoint hundreds of persons who wished to be possessed of the STANDARD and Plan. We have determined to reissue the PLAN, and present it again, together with a HA AD BOOK of BIRKENHEAD, to each Purchaser of the STANDARD of TUESDAY NEXT, OCT. 22D, the day previous to that appointed for the laying of the foundation-stone of the new Wallasey Docks. The Plan comprises the whole of the streets, built or projected, the parks of Claughton and Clifton, the new Docks, and the property as laid out for building under the New Improvement Act, dis tinguishing !he plots belonging to the various owners, corrected up to the latest period, and noting the sites for the present and intended churches and other public buildings. This Plan, which is beautifully executed, will be struck off on fine paper, and, when framed, will form an inte resting and valuable picture, which ought to be possessed by every one interested in the prosperity of this rising locality. The accompanying Pam phlet will describe the various erections and im provements completed or projected, together with much other interesting information. TO CORRESPONDENTS. The steamer from America was off Holyhead at three o'clock yesterday, and arrived in the river a little after ten last night, but we did not receive the papers by her in time for our country edition. One or two of the articles in our publication of today were intended for insertion IN the Standard of last week. Of course the Radicals will crow about the informality in the notices of objection made by Conservatives ; but why are they so silent about the decision of the revising barrister at Blanchester, which we announced a fortnight ago, by which upwards of 2,000 objections made by the objector-general of the League against the Conservative county voters have been re,.dered void. We received last night, too late for publication, a letter from a re spectable correspondent, complaining that the great dinner, to celebrate the laying of the foundation stone of the Birkenhead Docks, is not to be provided by any of the hotel keepers at Bir kenhead, who, being very heavy ratepayers, do appear to have the first claim on the consideration of the dinner committee, and who, we believe, are well able to furnish satisfactorily such an entertainment. Probably some explanation can be given of the apparent oversight. Ebe Riberpool TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 15, 1844 The Conservative burgesses of Liverpool have, this year, a serious business upon their heads. For months past the agents and emissaries of the Radical and Popish faction in our town have been moving heaven and earth to strengthen themselves for a contest in every Ward, where a contest has a shadow of success. Rates have been paid by men whose possession of money of their own to pay them was as questionable as their disposition to pay ; faggot voters have sprung up like mushrooms; and already we have a shoal of the most prominent members of the late dominant party in our town furbishing up their electioneering artillery and preparing to urge their way into the Council Chamber. This effort must be promptly met. So intolerable a nuisance as an addition to the talking . and motion-making offshoots of Liberalism at present in the Council, as the representatives of the cellars of Vauxhall road, and other equally savoury and respectable localities, must be warded off; and we confidently believe that, notwithstanding some neglect on the part of the leading Conservatives of Liverpool, who really do not, in their present position of supremacy in the Council, shew the same amount of energy which gained them that position, any considerable addition to the numbers of the Radical party may, by the exercise of the requisite amount of activity and determination, be prevented. We are not in a condition, in our present publi cation, to give any list of the parties likely to come forward for the various Wards, or to state how many are to be contested. Upon three, however, we know that a dead set is to be made, namely, Scotland, St. Peter's, and St. Anne's. To a notice, therefore, of the claims of the candidates for these Wards we must, for the present, confine ourselve3. In Scotland Ward, we believe, the result of the proceedings before the registration court has been very unfavourable for the prospects of the present Conservative member, Mr. Isaac Holmes, who again offers himself to the constituency. His opponent is at present in the background. We entertain, however, a confident hope that, upon his merits as an ardent supporter of the local interests of Scotland Ward, independently of his sterling honesty as a politician, opposition to Mr. Holmes will be cnly the viper's attempt to gnaw the file. We must not, however, be too sanguine. Radicalism is singularly forgetful of past services and old friendships where party is to be served by forgetting them. The merest and meanest tool would, in such a case, be preferred by the faction to an honest man who dared, in political matters, profess an independent opinion of his own; and, therefore, we must urge upon the Conservative electors of the Ward to be energetic and watchful if they would save themselves from the ignominy of adding another Thornhill to the number of their representatives. Mr. Holmes must be earnestly fought for. He is worthy of the ' exertion. In St. Peter's, it is said, Mr. Thomas Bolton opposes Mr. R. S. Henderson, the retiring Conser vative member. Surely the burgesses of Liverpool have had enough of Thomas BAton to make his the ghost of a chance ! The chief direction, however, of Radical malignity is towards St. Anne's Ward, in which Mr. James Parker, a manly and honest Englishman, is to be opposed by (save the mark!) Mr. William Earle, who is put forward as eminently qualified to gain the suffrages of " the respectable Electors" of the Ward. How Mr. Earle is more respectable than Mr. Parker, we must confe ss it p uzz l es us to ima gine. And what other claims Mr. Earle can have to the suffrages of this particular Ward it would puzzle himself to tell. We know not w h a t Willi am has ever done for St. Anne's, for the town, or for mankind, sufficiently great to entitle him to the dignity he seeks for. From all the observation that we have had of his business capabilities in times past, we have little faith in the prospect of his doing much for the future, unless his Continental travels have returned him to us a much more kindly tern pered and wiper man than we have known him hitherto. Mr. Parker, on the other hand, has ever been found by all parties, in the Ward and in the town, a man eminently attentive to his duties; of thorough business habits and capabilities: straight forward in all his actions, and devoted to the service and best interests of his fellow -townsmen. No man ever detected him in a jobbing transaction; no man ever suspected him of implication in one. He has been guilty however, on more than occasion, of de tecting and denouncing, what he conceived to be malpractices, acted or contemplated ; and hence, we fear the zeal and virus with which his well .earned claims to the honest portion of the constituency— not the "respectable" portion, which includes, of course, those respectable people who owe their fran chise to the vicarious pocket of a Radical busy body—are sought to be defeated. Mr. Parker,' however, has in him some good Yorkshire ancestral blood, which those of his op ponents who have no blood worth tracing for two generations back will find difficult to bully. We fear him not against William Earle, despite that gentleman's respectability and the consummate fit ness which, on that account, he possesses to repre sent the respectable gentlemen who have been foisted upon the register by the Radical p arty. Th ere must be hard working however in the Ward, if the Conservative electors wish to hold their own ; and hard working we trust there will be. We must not destroy the Conservative character of St. Anne's, or lose such a representative of it without a struggle. It is not often that we are able to quote with ap probation any portion of the leading columns of our contemporary, the Chronicle. The following pas sages, h owever , from a leadin g ar ti c l e o f hi s l as t publication, present themselves so appropriately to us, at the very moment w h en th e reveren d gentle man. thu s highly eulo g i se d b y a po li t i ca l opponent, is entering the eleventh year of his ministry in this town, that we cannot resist the temptation of giving them to our readers. We need scarcely pre mise that the gentleman referred to i s the Rev. Hugh WNeile, whose cla im s upon th e grat i tude of the Conservative party in Liverpool are thus spoken of : " But for his ceaseless activity, but for the hot tide of eloquence which be has at his command, but for his agi tating powers and marvellous tactics as a political leader, where and what would they have been at the present mo ment ? They and all the rest of their fellow-tortes would, in all prob a bility, h ave s till b een i n a wretched and miser able minority. They were in an utterly helpless and hope less state, without a head to think or a tongus to speak for them, when he first appeared in this locality and de voted himself to their rescue, and to say the truth, as a new Coriolanus, ' alone he did it.'" Again, the same wri►er say s : " In short, he was the chief, the guide, the stay, the prop, the support, the planner, the doer, the all in all, the Alpha and Omega, of every thing that was accomplished in the grand struggle which issued in the expulsion of the liberal party from the local and municipal power which they had achieved after the passing of the Reform Bill." This is no trifling meed of praise from an opponent, It is an acknowledgment of the wondrous power and commanding intellect of the reverend gentleman, wrung, in very bitterness, from the heart of one who would fain have seen that power less effective for the great objects towards which it has been devoted, and that intellect perverted to meaner and less en nobling purposes :—for, mark the events which he contemplates as the imm.diate results of Mr. M'Neile's withdrawal from the sphere of his past usefulness : " We often think that if it would only please Sir Robert Peel to withdraw the pastor of St. Jude's from amongst us, by making him a bishop, we would soon once more make short work with all the rest of the party. It would be, indeed, an easy task to do battle with the body after the soul had left it, and Liverpool Toryism would be no more than a defunct and breathless corse, if its animating principle, the presence of Mr. M'Neile, were taken from it. It would be child's play to deal with all that would be then left of it." Nothing certainly, but such an extension of the sphere of his usefulness as is here pointed at, could reconcile us to the loss of Mr. M`Neile's presence amongst us, so perfectly satisfied are we of the truth of our contemporary's estimate of its value. The Joornal, in his anxiety to obey the prompt ing of a certain party in the Dock Committee, and to have a fling at the owners of warehouse property, has laid bare a subject of controversy, in which it may be found that other parties, and especially the shippers of the port, may discover themselves inte rested. " The warehouse owners," he says, " contemplate a new movement, which is to prove a regular coup de grace against the Dock Committee. They have discovered that the new warehouses in the course of erection at the Al bert Dock are in violation of the Act of Parliament; that they do not leave sufficient quay room ; and that the floors are only about half the elevation that they ought to be." Any reader of this passage must arrive at the conclusion that some opposition of a very petti fogging character is about to be offered to the Dock Committee; that the objection to their plans is ra ther directed by pique than founded upon any sub stantial grievance. This, however, it appears to us, is scarcely the case. Whatever may be the amount of support which the objection, or rather objections, in question may receive from the public, there can be no doubt whatever that a fair and legitimate ground exists for their being made. A plain state ment of the points at issue (which the Journal's pa ragraph is not) will enable us to form a dispassionate judgment with respect to their merits and their hn portance to the public. It was stipulated, when the Albert Dock Bill was before Parliament, as a part of the compromise be tween the Dock Committee and the parties hostile to dock warehouses, that the whole of the quays of the Albert Dock should remain open for shippers using the dock without availing themselves of the ware houses. At the same time it wai agreed that these warehouses should not be more than four stories in height above the open quay. The substance of these stipulations is contained in the following clauses, Nos. 55 and 56 of the act of Parliament— C. 55.—And be it enacted, that the said warehouses so to be erected on the quays of the said wet docks shall be erected by the said trustees of such dimensions, and of such height not exceeding four stories, besides the ground floor or quay, and with such and so many vaults or cel lars under the same as to the said trustees shall seem most proper and convenient. C. 56.—Provided always, and be it enacted, that the sur face of the quay over which the said warehouses shall be erected shall be reserved as public quay, subject only to the general regulations of the said docks, and that the owner, consignee, or shipper of any goods, wares, and merchandize which may be larded or shipped in or from the said quaA, shall not be obliged to house or deposit any part of such goods, wares and merchandizes, in any of the warehouses of the said trustees, nor be subject nor liable to pay any warehouse r. nt, except in respect of such part of such goods, wa.es, and merchandizes, (if any,) as may be deposited in the said warehouses. It is perfectly clear what was intended to be enacted by these two clauses. The space upon which the warehouses were to be erected was to form quays, the whole to be open to shippers to be used free of charge for export or import, subject only to the usual regulations of the Dock Committee—to be used, that is, as the sheds round the Prince's and other docks are at present used. But has this, the only legitimate interpretation of clauses 55 and 56, or the agreement in accoi dance with which they were framed, been carried out by the Committee of Works ? An inspection of the warehouses already erected, as well as of those in course of erection, will shew that the spirit both of the act and of the agreement has been evaded. It is very questionable, indeed, whether even the letter of the act has not been so far violated as to place the Dock Committee in some measure at the mercy of any objector to their present plans, who may choose to resort to a court of law to oppose them. In the first place, the whole of the space upon which the warehouses are erected is not made into quay room, but only about one-third, or perhaps (for we speak from observation only) about two fifths of it, fronting the dock. The remainder is converted into warehousing rooms; and thus, whilst the façades of the erections shew only four stories besides " the ground floor or quay," there are, in reality, upon much the greater portion of the space, six distinct floors of warehousing room. Here then is a double objection to the present plan. The quay space is less than was contemplated by the framers of the act; and there is a direct violation of the clause which limits the height of the warehouses to four stories. But the spirit of the act, which ob viously meant that this dock should be available for vessels unloading, without an intention of using the warehouses, as well as for those intending to use them, is even more glaringly set at naught. The limited quantity of loading and discharging space, the want of accommodation for carting to and from a ship's side—the whole arrangements, in fact, are such as must almost compel parties using it to use also its warehouses, and must convert what was professedly intended as a general dock into an im port dock exclusively. We are not prepared to say that, under all cir cumstances, such would not be the best purpose to which it could be converted. Nay, we believe that the very circumstance of its being surrounded with warehouses would ultimately make it an import dock alone, whatever facilities might be afforded by it for export. But we should have wished such a result to have been achieved in a more open man ner, without violating either the letter or the spirit of the law; and we are sure that neither the chair man, the deputy-chairman, nor the majority of the Dock Committee, would have wished otherwise. For only glance for a moment at the results, if, as we anticipate, it is found upon the completion of the Dock that it is capable of being worked only or mainly as a feeder for its own warehouses. Every vessel which enters it, when discharged, will have to be hauled out to load at the Salthouse, the Canning, or the George's Dock, where there is sufficient accessible quay room; and the mass of valuable warehouse property comprised within a circle from the Goree to Duke's-place, which may be safely estimated as worth at present upwards of two millions sterling, must be very seriously and at once decreased in value by being plac e d as an in creased distance from the import docks by which they are at present fed. Gradually, no doubt, this would have taken place, as a result of the successful working of the Albert warehouses, and the ultimate conversion of that dock into an export dock ; and gradually we s h ou ld h ave p re f erre d seeing that re sult brought about, if inevitable, It is far from being our purpose to suggest any course for the committee to pursue to satisfy the objections urged against their plans, and still further to aggravate existi ng f ee li ngs o f dissatisfaction. We believe that matters could still be accommodated to the satisfaction of all reasonable men, and without ultimate injury to the Dock Estate ; and to the honor and consideration of the members of the Dock Committee we are willing to leave its arrange ment, convinced that they will not allow themselves to be drawn into a position of hostility to the just claims and interests of a large body of their fellow townsmen. The onward progress of popery and the lethargic efforts by which it is opposed in the present day have never been m ore signally evidenced than by the transfer, in this t own , o f a P ropr i etary Ch urc h (All Saints) into the hands of the Church of Rome. &few days ago the world would not have credited such an event, as having occurred in aroused and protestant Liverpool. It would have been treated as a fable—an impossibility —that in this town, from which the voice of eloquent warning and denuncia tion of the errors and insidious designs of popery have so often and powerfully issued, a lapse of pro testant energy so deplorable should have been witnessed. Yet so it is, and we grieve to record the fact. Before three months pass over our heads the masses and mummeries of poperies will be enacted in the same hallowed walls which have echoed to the beautiful song of the Anglican Church and the preaching of the unadulterated word of God. We need not go at any length into a history of the circumstances of this hapless misappropriation. ' They are simple and by no means singular, and we merely mention them as considerable misapprehen sion exists on the subject. The Church of All Saints was a licensed building provided in the dearth of more legitimate Church accommodation in the locality. Its ownership was in lay hands ; and upon the death of that owner, it was found, we understand, to he mortgaged, with the usual pow er , of sale, we are i n f orme d, i n t h e mortgagee . T he founder, by his will, did a ll w hi c h, un d e r these cir cumstances he could do. He expressed what we believe is considered to amount to little more than a hope that All Saints would continue a Church for the preaching of protestant doctrine. It was sold, however, the mortgagee having sufficient power for that purpose, and Rome bought it. It it s congregation in Janu ar y nex t a p o pi s h Chapel ; and congregation have in the meanwhile to look out for a fresh building in which to worship God in the pure and simple form of their fathers. The fact, we repeat, is to he deplored, but thus it is. Under such circumstances of pressing emergency an appeal has been made to the public of Liverpool for funds to provide for the congrega ti on a suitable building to supply that of All Saints; and already a considerable amount has been subscribed. It woula be greatly to be regretted, however, if they were still to be left at the mercy of similar contingen cies to those which have given up their Church to the grasp of insatiable Popery. An advertisement in our columns this clay gives most praiseworthy evidence that the exigency is not unappreciated. A thousand or eleven hundred pounds, the price of the mere building, with say another thousand for the ground and contingencies, are about being raised, and we have no doubt, if the Protestant public do their duty, will be raised to provide im mediate adequate accommodation for the congrega tion. But we would suggest that much more should be done. A church must not only be built, but a church with an endowment, sufficient to pro tect it from such a fate as has befallen All Saints. For this purpose more than three thousand pounds will be required ; and when we appeal to such a community as the Protestant merchants and inha bitants of Liverpool, we cannot ; surely, appeal in vain. THE FUNDS. SATURDAY NIGHT.—The English stock market to-day was by no means in an active state. Con sols left off 1004 for money and the account ; New Tbree and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1024 ; Three per Cents. Re duced 994; India Stock, 288 to 290; Bank Stock, 2051 to 61 ex div. ; and Exchequer-bills, 755. to 775. p.m. Very little business has been transacted in the foreign house. The last quota ions were—Belgian, 1031 to 1041; Brazilian, 851 to 861 ; Buenos Ayres. 36 to 37 ; Chilian, 101 to 103 ; colombian, 144 to 4 ; Danish, 88 to 89 ; Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents, 621 to 4 ; the Five per Cents., 984 to to I ; Mexi c a n , 444 t o 4 ; the Deferred, 154 to 4; Portuguese, 541; Peruvian, 25 to 1; Spanish Actives, 234 to 1 ; the Three per Cents., 344 to ; Ditto Deferred, 134 to 14 ; and Ditto, Passives, 54 to No thing whatever has been doing to-day in the Share market, and prices are generally the same. TAHITI.—THE AFFAIR AT MALAHENA.—The official account from Captain Bruat of his untoward affair has been published. M. BRUAT justifies his attack on the natives by necessity; having failed, even with the aid of the English mi , sionaries, to induce the insurgents against the French auth rity to disperse. The Freuch force is here rated at 441 men; the natives are said to have had 1500 fighting men, of whom 1000 were engaged in the defence of their entrenchments. They had 102 men killed, their guns spiked, and a large portion of their ammunition captured. The French loss is stated at 15 killed, including two officers, and 51 wounded ; and it is admitted that the natives fought with great bravely and determination. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONGST THE J EWS.—The names of the reverend gentlemen an nounced to preach the anniversary sermon 3 of this society on Sunday next, will be found in another column. We would call the especial attention of all those favourable to the objects of the society to the announcement, that a ser mon will be preached to-morrow evening, at Christ Church, by the Rev. A. M. Myers, when three of the brethren of the house of Israel (inmates of the institution in this town for enquiring Jews) will be baptised, and a collection made in aid if the funds of that institution, which ha , been in existence for some years, but which is comparatively unknown. May we ask our readers to ex amine the objects and present position of this interesting asylum. THE REGISTRATION.—Mr. Peter Marrow, of the Conservative Association, has addressed a letter to a contemporary, (in reply to a letter in the Courier,) from which it appears that the real loss to the Conservatives in the Liverpool Revising Court is only 92 votes, which are more than counterbalanced by their superiority of fresh claims. He also states that " there are in the different townships lately revised upwards of 1,100 objections made by the overseers, which we, as yet, have not bad time to inspect ; but from the great preponderance of Radicals (upwards of 300), we may naturally expect that much benefit will arise to us from that source; this, however, will be shown when the revised list is published." Not withstanding their objections were rut aside by the bar rister's second opinion being at variance with his first, they have at least held their own, which is more than has been done in any other polling district in the southern division of the county. The remarks of the writer in the Courier were, therefore, uncalled for. PROTESTANT ORPHAN SOCIETY.—A meeting of the friends of this society was held in the school-room of St. Jude's Church, on Friday evening, and was sparingly, but respectably attended. The chair was taken by the Rev. E. O'Meara, of Dublin, who addressed the assembly in a very interesting discourse, describing the origin, object, and plan of the association, and relating numerous in stances of its success—illustrated by affecting anecdotes. It appears that in 1828 it was discovered that a Protestant widow, left with two children without the means of sup porting them, was induced to give up her son to the maim"- gers of a Roman Catholic Orphan Society in Dublin; and further that there were numerons similar societies in that city, which were the means of withdrawing in a similar manner many destitute Protestant children from the faith of their fathers. , To meet this evil, it was determined to institute this counteracting and benevolent society; and from a small beginning, it has now (in the 16th year of it existence,) 320 children, with their respective nurses, which with 120 orphans already apprenticed, make 440 to whom the society has afforded an asylum. The reverend gentleman stated that there were now no fewer than 19 Roman Catholic Asylums in Dublin and its neighbour hood, all eager in their endeavours to make proselytes; and he condemned the Workhouse system in Ireland, as ill calculated to give vigour to Protestant Principles —ren dering this society the more necessary. He stated that the smallest donations for the society would be acceptable, and, in proof of its economical management, added that the whole cost of an orphan per annum was but about £5, including education and food three times a day. At the close of his address a collection was made, and cards were distributed to those who were willing to solicit their friends and acquaintances in behalf of a society which is well wor thy of the support of every true Protestant. LAUNCH OF A PILOT SHIP.—At twelve o'clock yester day, a new boat, built by Mr. Cato, in the place of No. 7 pilot boat, was launched, and is to be called " George Canning." The launch was beautiful. Afterwards there was a dejeuner, at which Mr. Cato presided The usual loyol toasts were drank; and the health of Miss - Banner, by whom she was Christened. The entire proceedings passed off joyfully. GRAND ORDER of MODERN DRUIDS.—The fourth an niversary supper of the opening of the Loyal United Sa maritan Lodge, No. 166, at the house of host Gelderd's, Ranelagh•street, on the evening of yesterday week, when about forty pers us sat down to an excellent supper pro vided in Mr. Gelderd's. best style. After supper P. A. Jones, corresponding secretary of the order, after a most feeling address, presented to P. A. William Hivey, the president of the whole board of management of the order, with an elaborately wrought silver snuff-box, on which was beautifully engraved the following inscriptiou :—Presented to P. A. William Hivey, by the Officers and Brothers of the Loyal United Samaritan Lodge, No. 166, as a just W hine of respect for his watchful care over the interests of their society, Anno Domini, 1844. P. A. Hivey then briefly acknowledged the token of respect bestowed upon bins, and expressed the highest estimation of the Lodge, and the order in general. After the usual toasts the com pany separated highly delighted. THEATRE ROYAL.—The performances at this theatre during the past week have been a succession of tragedy, comedy, and musical drama, which have been ably sus tained by the members of the regular company, with the assistance of Mr. J. S. Reeves and Mr. Baker. The beautiful new tragedy of 'The Patrician's Daughter,' which want of space prevented us noticing last week has been repeated this week, to aoproving and select,—rather too select audiences. In this piece Miss Montague has eminently distinguished herself, by her very fine acting as Lady Mattel Lynterne. This young lady has both genius, taste, and artistic finish, which will raise her to a very high, if not the highest rank in the profession. Mr. Pitt's acting in the rather unamiable character of Mor daunt is also very fine. In the musical dramas played, Mr. Reeves has shewn himself a very correct and chaste singer, and has been ably supported by Miss H. Gardner. We have never been more struck than this week with the acting of Miss Telbin. This young lady has not yet been sufficiently estimated. It will be observed that Mr. C. Perkins, the acting manager, takes his benefit on Friday next, when a good bill of fare is announced. We trust that the great and liberal exertions of this gentleman for the amusement of the public will be appreciated in the shape of a bumper house. FINE ARTS.—We invite the attention of our readers to a very choice collection of pictures, now on view at La cey's rooms, and particulars of which will be found in our advertising columns. As they comprise many genu ine works by the great masters, we may probably notice it further next week. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. WALKS THROUGH THE EXHIBITION OF THE LIVERPOOL ACADEMY. 1844. We have already given a very brief, and necessarily very imperfect, notice of this exhibition, at the time of writing which we had only been favoured, by the kindness of the secretary, with half an hour's glance through the rooms previous to their being opened to the public. We now propose going through the catalogue more in detail, in a series of papers, giving to our readers the impressions made upon our mind during the various walks which we shall make from time to time amidst this extensive collec tion. We begin this day will WALK THE FIRST. On entering an exhibition, catalogue in band, we natu rally turn to No. 1, conceiving that it must have been honoured with this prominence from some superior merit, real or supposed. We cannot, however, pay the commit tee the poor compliment of attributing this as their motive for assigning its present place to Mr. Leahy's painting of " Lady Jane Grey Summoned to her Execution," but ra ther conclude that it is ranked first from its being the largest in the collection. We find no fault with it as a painting. The grouping and colouring are good, and the figure and face of Lady Grey herself, " in countenance nothing cast down, neither her eyes moistened with tears," as described by her historian, but raised in humble confi dence and hope to Heaven, are beautifully given. But there is nothing of striking genius throughout the compo sition ; and in part, perhaps, on account of its great pre tension, the impression with which we leave it is one of disappointment. No. 4.—A Portrait of a Lady, by Gambendella, is a vivid pai n ti ng , w hi ch cannot escape notice. The colour ing, however, might, with advantage, have been a little • subdued. No. 6.—A little painting, called " The Standard Com bat," by H. Melling, is full of spirit and boldness of de sign and execution. It is, in parts, rather hastily drawn, however, and affords us rather a specimen of what the artist might be than of his present powers. No. 10.—" The Ferry—Evening," by E. sen., is a pleasing composition. No. 11.—" The Highland Lament," by H. Johnston, is a very striking picture. The colouring, which is singu larly gloomy, is in keeping with the wildness of the scenery and the solemnity of the occasion. The figures are very correct, and the piper in the foreground especially imposing. No. 21.—" Endymion's Dream," by P. Westcolt, could only have been painted by one capable of appreciat ing the beautiful conceptions of the lamented Keats. The dreamy nature of the poet has here entered into the artist's pencil; and the effect is a vision on canvas as etherial as was ever presented to the wildest imagination. The spirit of the moon—" that completed form of all loveliness"— which visits the slumbering hunter, is beautifully painted, as are the moon herself and the sky out of whose blue depths she appears to have sprung, the untangible sub stance of beauty. The dreaming Endymion is scarcely less beautiful in conception and artistic finish. The moonlight is thrown upon his features with great skill and effect. His tired dogs, in the foreground, are the only objects in the picture which seem to belong to earth. No. 37 is a very pleasing " Portrait of a Child," by Patten, who has several other fine paintings in the exhi bition. No. 49.—" Mount St. Michael, Cornwall," by C. Stansfield, is a fine painting, displaying great artistic power, and will be a favourite with all lovers of marine views. The troubled ocean in the foreground is painted with great skill, whilst the mist shrouded mount, and the indistinct filling in of the background, are magnificent. No. 95.—" The Lassie's Supply from the Spring," by E. A. Giffard, is a beautiful little picture. The faces, and one in particular of great archness, are perfect gems of painting. The colouring and light are well managed. No. 115.—" Facing the Enemy," by J. T. Eglinton, is a pleasing picture. We presume the spaniel is a portrait. No. 116.—" Cattle- returning—Evening,"—by J. Wil son, Junr., is a pretty pastoral composition. No. 123.—" The Fortune Tellers," by H. Room is a pleasing portrait of one of the beautiful faces and forms occasionally to be met with amongst the Gipsy race. No. 125.—" The Gipsy," a sketch by T. Crane, is drawn with force, but a somewhat forbidding picture. It might serve for the opposite of No. 123. No. 160.—" A scene on the Clyde," by Thomas Cres wick, is finely painted. The rocks in the foreground are beautifully done. No. 161.—" Rebecca unvailing," by C. A. Dowal, is a pleaant composition. No. 242.—" The Embarkation of James II," by H. Oates, is a very fine historical painting. The galley of Louis XIV., in which the deposed king is being conveyed on board te Soleil Royal, in which he sailed with his armanent to Ireland, is beautifully drawn; and the group ing of the illustrious passengers on board very good, s well as that of the figures in the foreground who appear spectators of the scene. The magnificent vessel itself, the Soleil Royal, is a striking object; the colouring may be objected to as somewhat too fresh,—a fault which time in part will remedy. Altogether, this picture is highly creditable to the artist. No. 276 and 279.—Tw0 pleasing pictures by our towns man Mr. S. Walters. No. 280.—" Castle Craig Borrowdale," and 281 `• Por tencross Castle, Ayrshire," the former by Miss Charlotte Nasrnyth and the latter by Miss Barbara Nasmyth, are excellent specimens of two delightful Artistes. No. 474.—" The Ploughboy," by W. Hunt—a Water Colour Drawing of very first-rate merit. It is one of the gems of this portion of the exhibition. No. 538.—" Portraits of Mrs. Adey and the Misses Adey," by Miss Al. Gillus, is a highly finished and beau tiful painting. The colouring is fine and very rich. WHAT WARDS SHALL WE WIN ? " What Wards shall we win ?" Papist journals say seven, Whilst others, more gen'rous, give ten or eleven; But both are at fault, as will plainly be seen— We shall win our old number, " the glorious thirteen." Thirteen, and one more,—for Exchange we shall gain ; To contest it with us would be " labour in vain": This to HOLMES is well known, so he flies from his post; If he reckons on Lime-street, 'tis " without his host." And thus to the Radical faction will fall That spicy Arabia. delightful Vauxhall! 'Tis swamp'd by Repealers ;—and Castle-street, too, Is held in its hands by a like ragged crew. But WOOLLRIGHT, 'tis said, will St. Peter's obtain! We have beaten him once, and shall beat him again : Whilst St. Anne's—who'll believe it?—must fall to that pearl, That pink of politeness, ex-Alderman EARLE!!! Then, Tories, at once the red banner unfold, Unite it with ensigns of purple and gold; For combin'd with King William's true Protestant lads, You'll triumph o'er Papists, Socinians, and Rads ! Roscommon-street, 14th October, 1844 E. M. THE WEATHER.--We have had those alternations of rain, wind, and sunshine, within the past week which may be expected at this advanced period of the autumn. The rain has, for the most part, fallen (and heavily too) du ring the night, the day being generally fine, with a drying breeze. Yesterday evening, shortly after five o'clock, this town and neighbourhood were visited by a brief but violent storm of wind and heavy rain, accompanied by several vivid flashes of lightning and loud peals of thunder, which last excited no little alarm amongst the timid. At the time of our writing (Monday night) the weather is still stormy, and inclined to squally. Hap pily the field crops, with the exception of the potatoes, which are yet in no danger, have nearly all been housed in good order. The after-grass in the vicinity has been in all warm and well treated grounds, more abundant than was expected, and this accession to cattle food will do much to make up for the deficiency of the first hay. crop. The turnips also look well,—particularly the Swedes, of which we have seen many fields—the bulbs of a large size. We have also seen some fields of young Wheat, presenting a very verdant and promising appear ance for the season. A HORSE KILLED IN THE STREET.—On Sunday even ing. about five o'clock, as a phaeton, drawn by a fine gray horse, and a car were driving rapidly along Pembroke place, the two animals and vehicles came into sudden and violent collision, and the horse in the phaeton was so much injured that he instantly dropped, and died in about three minutes. There were four persons in the car, and several also in the phaeton, none of whom were, happily, seriously hurt. We have been unable to learn whether blame was to be attached to one or both drivers, or whe ther the contact was the effect of accident. GRADUATES OF DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—The Dublin Statesman of Friday announces the following. We at present doubt its truth. "We understand that more than one of the English bishops actually refuse to ordain gradu- ates of Trinity College, Dublin, though duly qualified in every theological, and moral, and other respect. This conduct is truly deplorable, and replete with danger iu the present state of the united church of England and Ireland. We have heard of one English prelate who goes further still, and actually refuses to license as a curate in his dio cese any graduate of Dublin ordained by an lii h bishop, though in full priest's orders." CORK AND BANDON RAILWAY, -On Saturday se'nnight, a meeting was held at Bandon, to take into consideration a proposition to construct a railway on the above line. Viscount Bernard took the chair. Mr. Bil ling of London produced estimates of traffic which showed a certain profit of 10 per cent., and declared he was ready to prove it would be much nearer 15 per cent. The line would open a market at Bandon for all the Western Dis tricts of that great County, which had a large produce from its agriculture, its mines, its fisheries, and other sources—all of which would be concentrated into Bandon as the great terminus for Cork. Mr. Sullivan said, that, with regard to the farmers taking their produce from Bandon on to Cork, he apprehended it would be much more advantageous to the commercial interests of Ban don to have the line t) go on to Cork than if a line was merely constructed to deep water, but when gentlemen came forward to advocate that project, the reply to them was, we make, on this main line, two miles of the rail for you to deep water, and it is not reasonable to suppose that the line will be continued to the deep water. Now on that part of the subject he would just mention one fact, and it was truly said that one fact was worth a thousand arguments. At this moment, and for the last fortnight, his stores were full of corn. He had been try ing at Kinsale to obtain a vessel, and he could not under a very high freight, and he did obtain one at Cork at two shillings per ton less than he could at Kinsale. Ile had consequently been obliged to refuse purchasing any more within the last two days. If the railway was established and he had the facility of transit, he could of course purchase from the farmers on better terms than he could now. Bandon was unques tionably the great point of attraction for the whole west of Cork, and it was the natural outlet for the whole of its agricultural produce. Do what they would, the town of Bandon stood in such a geographical position that nothing could interfere with it. If they had lines from Dublin to Cashel, and from Cashel to Cork and Limerick and Waterford, was it reasonable to suppose that mer chants and capitalists would not find their way to Bandon when they had a railway there? Several other speeches were made. CORRESPONDENCE. ELECTION OF ALDERMEN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—The Municipal Election being at hand, I observe there are six Whig-Radical Aldermen, whose time expires on the Ist of November, and it is to the election of their successors I wish to direct the council's attention. The last batch of aldermen made by the conservatives were taken not out of the council (which I contend is the legi timate mode) hut from out of doors, and these, with o ne or two exceptions, were gentlemen who had not been pre emintly active in the conservative interest though wishing well to the cause. Now, 1 assert that the aldermen should be chosen out of the council, by which means they are the choice of the burgesses, having been sent to the council by them, and election ought to fall upon those conservative members of the Town Council who have served the longest and contested the wards they represent; such is only just and reasonable, and what common sense dictates. It is not acting fairly by those members who have fought at the hustings, and been at both expense and trouble, to have brought into the council chamber, as aldermen, gentlemen who have never aided or assisted their party to entitle them to the honor, (if such it may be deemed,) and who would shrink from a contest for councilmen. A BURGESS OF ST. PETER'S WARD. October 14th, 1841. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. shall feel much obliged by the insertion of the following observations in your valuable paper; the im portance of the subject will, I hope, be a sufficient apology to yourself and the public for my intrusion. The increase of our commercial prosperity, the regula tions adopted for the improvement of the health of the inhabitants, and the protection afforded their persons and property, are topic., agreeable to a mind that feels an in terest in the welfare of the community. But my friendly feeling towards my fellow-townsmen must be allowed a wider range, and to embrace objects higher and better than these. If it be true of a nation that it is exalted by righteous ness, it must be proportionally true of a town. I have carefully considered the large amount of means in opera tion for the spiritual improvement of our vast population, and endeavoured to form some sort of estimate of their probable success. In this investigation my attention has been directed to a society, entitled the " Town Mission," with the constitution of which I have made myself ac quainted, and after an examination and scrutiny of some continuance, I feel constrained to entreat for it the special attention, and particular inquiry, of the public, as to its pressing and imperative necessity, the benefits which have already resulted from its labour, and the loud call for an enlarged and liberal benevolence for its support and extension. The following extracts are from the annual report, under the head, " Instructions to Agents," and deserve, 1 conceive, more than ordinary observation, as fully re futing the unfounded charges of Sectarianism, and every thing like a disposition to proselytism, charges which have been urged against it by those who are unfriendly towards it, because mistaken as to its real intentions and designs :—" You are aware that the object of the Liver pool Town Mission is, to promote the religious improve ment of the lower classes of the people." " Should sharp or irritating language be addressed to you, remember that a ' soft answer turneth away wrath' ; but do not persist in calling upon those who refuse to receive you." " Make yourselves acquainted with the daily and Sunday schools, and places of religious worship, in the vicinity, that you may exhort the people and the children to attend them." " Let your conversation with the people upon what you read be plain, pointed, and affectionate ; shewing them thus, with all simplicity, that life and death are set before them in the word of God, and beseeching them to come unto Christ that they may have life. To insist upon topics of minor importance, such as modes of church go vernment, &c., with a view of making proselytes to a par ticular sect, would be a gross violation of your duty, as an agent of this society." Thera is in this town an immense amount of human beings, of whom it may be asserted—and, alas ! it is no libel—they have no knowledge of God ; who never enter a church or chapel to worship or to hear of God ; and amongst whom it may emphatically be said, " Satan bath his seat." I hope my joy is not inferior to that of any Christian man at the increase of places for the public worship of God. My prayer is that the glorious Gospel of the blessed God may be preached in them, with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. But suppose these sanc tuaries to be increased in number and size to any extent you please, it does not follow that the slaves of sin, and ignorance worse than heathenish, will leave their haunts of infamy and dens of depravity, to cross the threshold of the house of God. Hence the pressing necessity of the Town Mission, the great object of which is, to persuade men, in plain, familiar, friendly phrase, to be reconciled to God—to woo and win them to his public worship, by forming in their courts and alleys, wherever an open door presents itself, little neighbourly social meetings, for prayer and reading the word of God, that an appetite may thus be created for the bread of life—that they may have the advantage of a little spiritual training, that the transition may be easy and natural from the small meet ing in the court or alley to the great congregation in the house of God. These unhappy outcasts of our species cannot be reached by the means in ordinary use and ope ration. Experience has proved that nothing less is suffi cient than a moral invasion, and that an attack must be made upon the camp of the enemy. Mr. Editor, I feel encouraged, emboldened to propose a question for public consideration. I ask, in the joint name of religion, reason, and humanity, where an agency can be found by which these merciful purposes can be more successfully accomplished, than -by the.society for which I plead ? As free from undue partiality as preju dice; and without fear of contradiction I affirm, that an agency superior in spi r it ua li ty , s i mp li c i ty, and success, remains yet to be discovered. The agents employed are converted, devoted men— taken from humble occurtations, knowing nothing of cold and difficult dogmas, nor fine inflated figures—their only arguments are compassionate concern for perishing sin ners, and their only eloquence is derived from the Cross and the Crucified. Such are the men, and let the hand of Christian sym pathy and benevolence furnish the Committee with more money, and God will doubtless find more such men ; and by the blessing of Heaven upon their labours, and the labours of the servants in the different sections of his Church, our moral wastes shall be brought into cultiva tion, and Liverpool become more famed for its religion and morality, than it is for its merchandise and riches. Subscriptions and donations are received at the Borough Bank' by John Cropper, Esq.. President ; James Stitt, Esq., Treasurer; Messrs. James C. Duncan and John Oliver Jones, Secretaries, and any of the Committee. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your faithful and obedient servant, MENTOR. SHIP-BUILDING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sin s —l have recently seen in your paper a letter writ ten by a Mr. Robert Talbot, shipbuilder, wherein he shows that which he considers essential, for strength, capacity, and velocity, for seagoing vessels. His first principle is that of the insecurity of ships from angle chocks. As a shipbuilder he must be aware the adoption is from necessity, in the want of crooked timber. This of itself is of very minor importance as to security, when compared with the disjointed manner in which the frame timbers of merchant ships are erected. Let shipbuilders carefully place together the sections of each frame, and well bolt them, so as to have no filling timbers shuffled in place after the ribands are around ; let all the bolts in each floor be driven through the keelson, and clenched on the underside of the keel ; let the limber strakes be of 5 or 6-inch plank, well bolted through the bottom and clenched, with a water-course on the floors ; let the gar board strakes be at the keel two inches thicker than the plank of the bottom ; let the edges of the ceiling planks be well fayed and caulked from the floor-heads upward; let the beams be of a sufficient number and well placed, secured at their ends by thick waterways and shelfpieces well fayed and bolted. This, with the outsid e pl an k, being well wrought and fastened, and the work duly per formed, not only the objectionable chocks may be pro perly applied, but all the ponderous iron knees and stan dards, together with the sister keelsons, may be thrown overboard as useless limber, for it should be understood that no ship is stronger than her weakest part. If, there fore, a ship, from the ricketty manner in which she has been built, requires strapping with iron knees (which at the best is a very uncertain security), through which those weak parts are rendered less secure, and often the sole cause of vessels foundering; let her frame be firmly united from keel to gunwale, and from stern to sternpost, with the other required securities, and there is no cause of fear of the ship doing well, although the heads and heels of the first and second futtocks (which are all that require chocks) are chocked, together with the disappear ing of all iron knees or sister keelsons. Mr. Talbot gives a breadth for length, which may be well for a vessel of from 200 to 220 tons, but the proportion would be too narrow for a vessel of 150 tons, and too wide for one of 300 tons measurement. The sta bility of a vessel depends not on either her breadth or her depth, but on her form and the correctness of her dis placement. As a proof, plane up from the same piece two pieces of fir, say 2 feet long by 3 inches by 6 inches ; form each in shape like the bottom of a vessel, with this difference—the bottom of one to be formed with the breadth of 6 inches, and the bottom of the other with the breadth of 3 inches; that is, the breadth of the first will illolnhge, found,andi i t hy a be as listo 4, the other as listoB, of their length. In forming these two blocks, let them be of equal weight when finished. Then take two slips of lead, of equal weight, say 21b. each, which fix as keels to each bottom, observing that they swim perfectly level. In each fix in a re gives the safest stabil i t ships i ; p s y i e n t a every sea, midships a mast, whose height may be 18 inches from the a ya r d whenof a fioto will f w o a o t t e i r n , a h n e d i g c h r t o f s r s o w n i i s e fi the x water,applying at one end of each yard anything of equal wei g ht, that the narrow vessel is the stiffer of the two, a n d as such will carry more canvass. This is not shown t o re commend narrow ships , but merely to show th a t dis placement,and by far less expensive , if their masts and y ar d s are i n proportion. It remains now to show that Mr. T a lb ot ' s opinion is dayproves that and narrow not bre s a n d ip th s , fallacious respecting poops and topgallant forecastles. Height out of water is not of the least injury to a 6 lh . if she is in sailing trim. They are certainly - liable p more to fall over with a clean hold • but how often have they been the means of saving numbers of lives when the ship has been water-logged ! Proofs of their utility could be ad duced by referring to many of the masters of _ your.Liver pool ships. One proof will suffice to fully establish this fact. It is well known that a part of our navy is nom- Oct. 15, 1844 prised of what are termed three-deck ships; the truth is they have five decks, on four of which they have a range of guns. During the last French war, we were under the necessity of blocking up their ports. If any remission of this duty had taken place, the advantage accruing there from would have been lost; therefore our ships were obliged to weather the winter storms, yet at times shelter was required ;_ but in all cases our three-deck ships were the last that sought a harbour, and very offer. remained in the bay, and with less damage than frigates, being always considered the safest ships. By shoving their proportions, every obstruction in a merchant vessel, as to height, sinks into nothingness. Their lengta as to breadth was as 41 is to 1 ; their draught of water, 22 feet; their height, from the water to the poop deck. feet; extended on the four decks, from 100 to 120 guns, ~oget her with above 200 tons of shot, anchors, and other heavy materials, and above 800 men. I remain, sir, your very humble servant, JOHN COCK, Author of a little work on Masting Ships and Mastmaking. Pembroke Dock, October 2nd, 1844. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. should be gratified if any of your medical friends or correspondents would have the kindness to solve the following queries. What is the most general cause of "Catarrh," or what is usually termed " catching a cold ? " What habit of body predisposes a person to catch cold, and will a plethoric habit be more likely to catch cold than a contrary habit—does full and free living or an abstemious diet occasion a disposition to thin malady ? . _ Is cold usually caught by passing from heated air into a lower temperament, or the reverse, that is, from a cold atmosphere into a heated apartment? The Jupiter steam-ship, on the 10th of October, at half-past 10 o'clock, a.m., of Donagadee, spoke the brig St. Lucia, of Liverpool, ma ki ng f or B e lf ast t o repa ir damages. She left Liverpool on the 7th of October. The machinery of the French steam ship Gomer which conveyed Louis Phillippe to this country was manufac tured by Fawcett, Preston and Co., of this town. It Is of most stupendous character. COURT MARTIAL.-At a court martial, at Devonport, on Friday, John Barnes, carpenter's mate on board ber Majesty's ship San Josef, was sentenced to be hanged at the yardarm, for lifting an axe and threatening to kill the boatswain of that ship. The court, however, promised to recommend him to the mercy of the Admiralty. IMPORT FOR THE FLAX AND COTTON MILLS. — The Oswego, a large American ship, of 800 tons ' bur d en, for merly employed as a liner between Liverpool and New York, arrived in this port yesterday, direct from New Orleans, with a full cargo of cotton for the Hull flax and cotton mills.—Hull Packet. THE SAFETY OF RAILWAY TRAVELLING. —At a recent inquest Mr. Wakley took occasion to observe, that he had held the office of coroner for five years and a half, and had the two great termini, and upwards cf 30 miles of the most extensive railways in the kingdom in his district, and yet, notwithstanding the millions of per sons that must have travelled up and down those lines during the period he lied itioned, he had never held a single inquest on a railway passenger. TARTANS.—WC perceive Messrs. John Cripps and Co., Maison de Lyon, 48, Bold-street, are making a splendid display of the Scottish Clan Tartans, and at that establish ment we have just been shewn the Rothsay Tartan, which has just been ordered by her Majesty, and which, for beauty of texture and of colouring, exceeds anything that we have as yet seen in this fashionable and useful fabric. We may predict that their adoption during the present season will be general. NARROW ESCAPE IN THE RlVER.—Yesterday, about noon, the ship Lucas approached the Prince's Pier. and was running up alongside of it for the purpose of entering the dock, while a boat, containing four men, happened to be between her and the sea-wall. The men, seeing that they were in danger, jumped into the water to save their lives. Two of them caught hold of a rope at. tached to the vessel, and were picked up by a boat. One of the men was rescued when nearly exhausted, and one had his knee much crushed ; but all were saved. The precaution they had taken was not without grounds, as the boat in which the poor fellows were was, soon after they took the water, crushed to pieces between the ship and the wall. EARLY CLOSING OF SHOPS IN ORMSKIRK.—At a meeting of the shopkeepers of Ormskirk, held in the Town-hall, on Friday, the 11th inst., publicly called by the constable, in compliance with a requisition numerously and respectably signed. Edward Boyer, Esq., in the chair. It was unanimously resolved that the meeting con sidered that the hours of business in shops were unneces sorily prolonged, and, therefore, deemed it advisable that the shops should be closed at an earlier hour. And con sidered it necessary in order to afford time requisite for exercise, recreation, and the acquirement of information, that the shops be closed at 8 o'clock, Saturday excepted. A committee was appointed to adopt such means as should appear to them best calculated to effect the object of the meeting. A declaration was afterwards signed by all present expressing their cord;al concurrence in the gene ral object of the meeting, and handed over to the commit tee, who were requested to obtain the signdtures of those persons who were not present. A 'correspondent at Ormskirk wishes to know why the attorneys' offices in that town cannot be closed at an earlier hour. We see no reason why they should not, for the boors at similar offices in this town have been very much curtailed without inconvenience. MR. ILLIDGES PORTRAIT OF LORD SANDON.—The Globe of Wednesday last, says that this painting is a beautiful portrait of Lord Sandon, painted by Illidge, and mezzotinted by George Raphael Ward, in the best style of each of these distinguished artists. The dkeness, we have had opportunities of knowing, is most excellent, not only the similarity of features being pre served, but the mentalism of the noble lord maintained and made palpably manifest, as far as the sister arts of portr lure and engraving can accomplish that ultimate result of their joint labours. THE ART UNION PIED:RES.—We have been much gratified at viewing a very neat frame, manufactured in Papier Mache, resembling the most graceful and elaborate carving in oak and other woods, the style and design of which is particularly adapted to the engraving after Danby's celebrated painting of the " Opening of the Sixth Seal." This frame is to be seen at Mr. Keys' Show Rooms, 52, Bold-street, and judging from its elegance and cheapness,. (for they are not quite the price of common carvings,) we have no doubt of its universal application. We advise our readers, particularly those in whose possession the engraving is,to visit the papier mache warerooms previously to selecting a frame. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 14. If any change can be noticed in Cotton during the last week it is an improvement of tone, which seems generally infiraed nevertheless. Cotton is freely offered, and buyers can do their business quite to their satisfaction. Several heavy consumers are greatly stocking themselves for the next two months. Speculaters are waiting the arrival of the steamer, which will bring the prospects for the new crop. 5,00 a bales have been sold to-day at last week's prices. Market closes steadily, but rather qui t than otherwise. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 14. We have had a smaller supply of a'l kinds of Cattle at market to-day than for some weeks of late. Anything good eagerly sought after, and sold at a little advance in prices. Beef, 5d to 52d; Mutton, Sid to Sid. TIDE TABLE. DAIS. MRN. EVN. I HEIGHT HOLYDAYS, ETC.
