" IttrAms, Estate Agent, 57, Ranelagh- STEAMER FLAMBEAU A N Advertisement has appeared, signed by " Isaac /I. Wood, Middlewich," and some other individuals, in praise of the above Steamer, and in which this most extraordinary remark appears :—" We feel altogether assured that the placards of the opposite party are wholly without foundation, and we would recommend them not for a moment to be listened to ; " and the subsequent portion of the placard points out clearly that the Erin go Bragh's party is meant as the " opposite party." I beg to put a few questions to Mr. Wood and his com panions : Is it true that the Flambeau has only one engine ? Is it true that she is without water-tight divisions in her hull ? Is it true that she has no Life Preservers on board ? Is it true that she has sometimes gone to sea without a single boat on board ? Is it true that the Erin go Bragh has two engines ; has water-tight bulkheads; has plenty of Life Preservers on board ; and has two large boats always slung on her quarters ready for use ? _ Can these gentlemen reply " NO " to these questions ? and if they cannot, in what position have they placed themselves by signing the advertisement above quoted ! W. TODD Erin go Bragh Steamer, August 31st, 1843. TO CAPTAIN KEMPE, OF THE " FLAMBEAU." SIR, MY attention has been this day directed to a placard, issued by parties connected with the " Erin go Bragh " Steamer, headed " Scandalous Disregard of Human Safety," in which it is stated, that on the day of the 18th instant, when so dense a fog was experienced at sea, " that but for a Providential rescue by the Blanche Steamer," (of which vessel I am commander,) " the Flambeau would have run on a sand-bank, near the wreck of the Superb," &c. In contradiction of this assertion, I willingly declare the whole to be UTTERLY FALSE, and without foundation. I met the Flambeau in the river, off the Magazines, a few minutes before her arrival at George's Pier. I am, Sir, yours, &c., SAMUEL FRYER, (Commander of the Steamer Blanche.) Liverpool, August 31st, 1843. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD Q I R,—ln reference to an Advertisement which has been kJ inserted in the public journals, bearing the signature of Mr. Isaac Wood, Rector of Middlewich, and several other individuals, who were passengers in the Flambeau' Steamer on the 24th August, I beg your insertion of the enclosed Letter in your next publication. Mr. Wood's communication proves one of two circum stances : it proves either that lie and the other individuals whose names appear on the document put before the pub lic never read what they signed, or that all those portions of the said document which are not confined to " the civi lity of the captain to the passengers, and the speed of the vessel," were interlineated after the signatures were ob tained, and consequently was a fraud on the whole party, and brought them closely to the verge of an action for libel. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, WM. TODD, " Erin go Brash" Steamer, Liverpool, 4th September, 1843. " Middlewich, 2d September, 1843. " Six,—l found your letter on my return home last night. I beg to say, that when I went on board the Flambeau steamer, on Thursday, the 24th August, I was not aware of the kind of contest which was being carried on between the two Bangor and Beaumaris packets. " On reaching Beaumaris, the passengers were re quested to sign a testimonial to two facts, viz., the civi lity of the captain to the passengers, and the swiftness of the vessel ; for my part, I considered that paper as having reference to those two points only. " I am, your obedient servant, " J. WOOD." VARIETIES. A person who tells you of the faults of others, intends to tell others of your faults. Have a care how you listen.

PRESENTS TO THE QUEEN.—Captain Harris, who went out as an ambassador from this country to the court of Shoa, a kingdom situated in Southern Abyssinia, for the purpose of concluding a treaty of commerce with the King, brought to this country, as presents to the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, an immense quantity of rare and valuable articles; and amongst them a jet black mule, of the most exquisite symmetry, taken from the stud of the King of Shoa, and presented in his Majesty's name to the heir apparent to the British throne. The trappings of this beautiful animal (which in the lan guage of the country, is called " Tishal," or sans pareil) consist of a saddle-cloth, of a peculiar form and exquisite workmanship, upon which is elaborately emblazoned the Ethiopian lion ; an extraordinarily-shaped Abyssinian saddle, with breastplate and head-stall en suite, are of the most gorgeous and magnificent description. FATAL AFFRAY WITH REAPERS.—On Wednesday, while the reapers employed by Mr. Childe, of Grange, were at work, three of them, young men, had a slight difference, and for some hours they continued " chaffing" each other ; at last an unguarded expression was uttered by one of them named Palmer, which excited the rage of Stephens, and he unfortunately gave him a blow with his fist, when Palmer struck him with his sickle on the back part of the right thigh, completely severing the grand artery, and the blood flowed with great profusion, and in a few minutes he was a corpse. No sooner had Palmer inflicted the fatal blow, than he dashed at the other reaper, and cut him with his sickle in a brutal manner across the abdomen and thighs ; and though he is still alive, but faint hopes are entertained of his recovery.—Ten Towns Mes senger.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY -BREAD NOT THE MERCURY ON THE MINISTRY LIABLE TO DECAY Our contemporary of Friday has had a fit of such un usual liveliness upon him this week, that we have been able, not only to read his lucubrations,—a task of no small magnitude—but to read them without yawning! With one or two portions indeed of an article, in which the measures of the past session of parliament are re viewed, we have been so amused that we cannot resist giving to our readers a specimen or two. On Wednesday last an experiment was brought to an issue, which may be pregnant with consequences of vast importance to the world. Some time ago, a Mr. Gtlhert Claude Alzard, a Frenchman, discovered a peculiar mode of manufacturing bread, biscuits, macaroni, &e. which should possess the property of being impervious to decay, and as well of being considerably cheaper than the ordinary articles in use. In 1841 he succeeded, after giving ample proof of the value of his discovery, in securing from the Emperor of Brazil, Don Pedro 11, a patent right for his invention ; but from the violence with which he was op posed in that country, the bakers and others carrying their opposition so far as to threaten personal outrage, Mons. Alzard was compelled to give up the attempt to effect any thing in that country, and determined to proceed to Eng land with his invention, bringing with him very flattering testimonials, the originals of which we have had the plea sure of inspecting. Previous to leaving the Brazils, how ever, a portion of the manufactured articles, consisting of biscuits, fine and coarse, was enclosed in a small wooden box, closely fastened, but not air tight. The box in ques tion was then tied with tape, the ends of which were sealed with the seal of her Majesty's consul at Rio Janeiro, an d a certificate attached certifying that on the 22d of January, 1842, the contents, biscuits, were so inclosed, and the box sealed in the presence of Robert Hesketh, Esq., H.B.M. consul at that port. Speaking of the condition of Ireland. the Mercury sagely, and with a gravity peculiar to him, remarks:— " The course which Mr. O'Connell is pursuing will very soon force the alternative upon every man in the kingdom, of choosing between a whig government and civil war." Sad choice between two evils! The choice of a whig ministry, which the mass of the Irish people would reject with contempt and aversion, as " base, bloody, and brutal,—which the Demagogue himself would either treat as his abject slaves, or spurn with his foot from the path of his bad ambition ;—a whig ministry which would foster rebellion, fatten and feed traitors, un loose the prison doors of murderers and felons of all degrees of criminality, or—civlL WAR, most wise con temporary ? Not so—not so ! To hurry forward such a catastrophe a whig ministry would be the best of all ap pliances! With so imbecile a thing to contend against, rebellion would soon indeed throw off its mask, and rush to the field and to bloodshed. The alternatives, which we have to choose between, are vigorous measures and civil war; a whig ministry might retard the latter, but would render its advent inevitable, and its success decisive ! But with respect to the Irish arms bill. our contempo rary is still more rich and rare in his absurdity. " The Irish arms bill," he remarks, " was a disgraceful proof of the unpopularity of Sir Robert Peel's government in Ireland." Of what were the various arms bills passed in the days of whig supremacy proof? " A whig govern ment," he continues, " could have afforded (I) to relin quish that bill if opposed." We don't know, by the bye, what a whig government could not afford to relinquish if opposed, or what they would not relinquish to secure place and pay. But the reason assigned for such relin quishment is most rich of all. Under a whig ministry " the arms used would have been used for legitimate or insignificant purposes"—(are assassination and midnight robbery of arms insignificant ?) ; —" but the tory govern ment could not do so, because t hey flared that an armed nation might start up against them, like Me volunteers of 1782." Of course a whiz government has no such diffi culty—no such fears. The rising of "an armed nation" would not be necessary against a government prepared to concede all that faction or treason could demand. An armed nation, rising to coerce a whig government, would be about as utter an absurdity as a levy en masse of all the men, women, boys, cats, and dogs of the empire, to kill a poor score of blue-bottles, entangled amongst the sweets of a treacle pot ! On Wednesday, in the presence of several influential gentlemen assembled in Lie Mayor's private room, at the Town-ball, the box was opened by the town-clerk, its se curity having been previously ascertained by all present, and the genuineness of the seal verified by the Brazilian Vice Consul, both of whom were present. Although nearly two years had elapsed since they were packed, the contents proved as sound, sweet, and in all respects as good, as on the day when it was enclosed. This bread is manufactured of a mixture, in certain proportions, of rice and wheat flour. The coarsest quality of flour may be used, and will produce bread not inferior to that made of the finest description of flour by the ordinary method. It is also, we are informed, extremely nutriti ous, very beneficial to the system, and a certain antiscor butic. Some of it was eaten by the Mayor, who pro nounced it excellent, in which opinion he was joined by all present. It was asserted by M. Alzard, the discoverer of the process, that the bread would keep two centuries without the slightest alteration, and it can be offered to the consumer at 6 s . p er cwt . l ess t h an t h e or di nary biscuit. He has secured the right to manufacture it in this country by patent. Since this examination of the character of the invention we have been favoured, by Mr. M`Divett, of Cable-street, of whom samples of the bread may be procured, with a few of the biscuits, baked in this town on Friday last, and can speak without hesitation of the excellence of their quality and taste. Poor Mercury 1 with what zeal he endeavaurs to forget, and to fancy that the world forgets, the history of whig misrule in Ireland—its arms bills and coercion bills—and the scorching contempt which has been levelled against its wretched imbecility, and glaring and desperate cor ruptness, by the very man, and the very people, whom he now assumes to be anxious to accept of that miserable effigy of a government—that pitiful and paltry scarecrow— that empty and hollow mockery—A WHIG GOVERNMENT ! THE HAPPY FAMILY.—This surprising triumph of the art of training, which, at the Mechanics' Institution, and the Collegiate, attracted so much curiosity, will after this week, as will be seen from the advertizenaent, be removed. On the last occasion that we visited them we witnessed the novel sight of a Hawk feeding two brace of Starlings —a sight which is certainly as curious as could be imagined. CORRESPONDENCE. O'CONNELL AND THE QUEEN'S SPEECH TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. It is said that a special commission will be held at Nenagh about the close of September, or early in Octo ber. Sitt,—l see the Queen's speech has put Mr. O'Connell in a rage, during which he has stumbled on a new griev ance-700,000 human beings lost by the grinding murders of the landlords! within the space of ten years! all owing to the cursed Union ! Pray calculate, on this principle, what would have been the population of Ireland at this day, if the Union had not taken place, and what it would be 43 years hence ; and then conjecture how happy that population would be, the demand for labour being such, that high wages would be paid (and in advance !) in order to secure labourers ! Can we be surprised, if O'Connell labours under this conviction, that his rage against the Union should be excessive ? In the paroxysm thus ex cited, no wonder he should abuse Wellington and Peel for granting the Catholic emancipation, or rather that he should laugh at the image of their being " dragged in chains after the chariot of Ireland's" (i.e., Mr. O'Con nell's) " victory" ; nor that he should forget how far the people of England contributed to forge those chains by a gradual diminution of religious prejudices, and by a grow ing confidence in the professions of Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Sheil, and the Catholic priesthood, as to the results of Catholic emancipation. In the passion which the murder of these 700,000 innocents has excited, he forgets that these circumstances f tnay have contributed, in some slight degree, to have placed those chains on the ministers of the day, by which they were compelled to grant Catholic emancipation. To this end the eloquence of Pitt, Fox, Burke, Grey, Canning, and Brougham may have contri buted ; although now, alas! they are the objects of vitu peration to those who formerly applauded their labours to the skies.

UNLAWFUL DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.—At the Police-court, yesterday, a man named Robert Daulby was charged with having attempted to destroy a quantity of fringe, on the premises of Mr. Thomas Dutton, uphol sterer, from whose service he had been discharged. It appeared that the fringe had been lying on the premises for a long time, and that the prisoner put it into a furnace, by which it was partly scorched and burned. The priso ner said that the fringe did not belong to the complainant, but had been ordered a long time ago, and not being ac cording to order, was thrown aside, and had become mil dewed and useless. He had, therefore, put it in the fire, so that no disturbance might afterwards be made about it. Mr. Rushton said such destruction of property was not to be justified, and fined him 40s. and costs, the alleged value of the article. Wax..
