TO CORR ESPOS D.E NTS. We feel much pleasure in returning our thanks to the con ductors of the Electric Telegraph in this town. Through ' their prompt attention the result of the important division which took place at a quarter past three on Tuesday morning last, was in our printers' hands before four o'clock, and was circulated amongst all our town subscribers. A Cheshire correspondent wishes to know if the Misses Wells, who are at present gratifying immense assemblies at the Zoological Gardens with their vocal powers, cannot be in duced to give one or more concerts at Birkenhead, where the clite'of the place are very desirous of hearing them. A mass of long advertisements, received late, has crowded out several articles and letters. We have received from a highly-respectable gentleman a strong remonstrance addressed to T. B. Horsfall Esq., as one of the most zealous of the local committee on the Sabbath postal question, against the attempt which is now making in this town to return to the former system. Our corres• pondent states that a deputation has been to London to in form our representatives that the people of Liverpool are not in favour of the change. Surely, if this be so, the true facts of the case ought to be stated, and then we have no fear as to the result. Do not let us deprive thousands of our fellow-creatures of their coveted rest so soon after they have tasted its rich blessedness. "We have received a note from a most respectable tradesman in town with reference to the fines imposed yesterday for short weights, complaining, that while the Queen and the Customs are allowed to balance their scales with loose paving stones, the tradesmen are not. To butchers this is most unjust, as, from the continual scouring of the wooden bottoms of scales, a discrepancy of weight occurs. In such cases, some allowance to respectable parties should be made, though it would be a dangerous precedent to follow generally rI)C the pool &tanNrb, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1850. IT is rather difficult for any individual to please all his friends • but a journalist experiences ten times more difficulty in this respect than ordinary people. A shadow himself, he is surrounded by unknown critics of all classes and tastes, half of whom he is continually offending by the very course -which pleases the other. One class complains of too little attention being paid to local matters ; a second asks why we do not discuss foreign ques tions, and treats the local news as idle tittle tattle ; a third is almost exclusively interested in commer cial intelligence ; a fourth wishes more attention -and space to be devoted to poetry, music, and the drama ;—in short, to enable the conductor of a publication like our own to please the entire circle of its readers, it would almost be essential that no two copies of it should be alike. Im pressed with this conviction we have almost invari ably been influenced more by our own judgment, and that of known friends in whom v;•e could confide, than by any hope of succeeding in the difficult feat of pleasing every body. As an instance of the unreasonable tone in which we are sometimes addressed, we shall take the liberty of giving the following, received in the past week ; " Sns,—lt is generally remarked that the LIVERPOOL STANDARD is not very warm in the cause of Protection, neither is it in the cause of Conservatism, although a great number of conservatives read it ; you are more impelled by the pressure from without, than entitled to much credit for your exertions in directing the tide of public opinion, or opposition to a Whig Government, you are more the instructed than the instructor—As Lord Stanley is not much of an agitator though he would reap the fruits of what the country will do without much as sistance from him—neutral leaders will join in the vic tory, but not so much in fight. These things must be well noted whenever there is cause for such an accusation. " A CAPITALIST NEARLY SHUT UP." It is a singular fact that our last publication was the first occasion for months past in which we had not prominently advocated the cause of protection, or discussed some question connected with Conserva tive interests; and that we refrained from doing so expressly because we conceived the various speakers at the recent Amphitheatre meeting had given the public quite sufficient for another week's digestion, especially as we had for several weeks previously received numerous representations of a precisely contrary nature to the above, complaining that we gave too much prominency to the demolition of Free Trade opinions, and affirming that the STAND ARD was becoming little else than the " Protection ists' Gazette." There is one expression in our correspondent's letter, but for which we should per haps have not given it any special notice. He says that we are "rather impelled by the pressure from without than entitled to much credit for our exertions in directing the tide of public opinion in opposition to a 'Whig Government." In what that " pressure" consists we are really at a loss to know. Our own experience tells us that the Conservative body in Liverpool have, during the past few years, been anything but pressing in their opposition to Whig measures; that whilst a good trade was doing some of them were beginning to think that a cheap loaf was not so very bad a thing as it bad been called ; and, in fact, the endeavours of the Conservative press to warn the community of the result of our free trade policy were treated by many as rather a bore than otherwise. The only pressure that we know of, as connected with the present position of Conservatives, is that pressure upon the pocket which our " capitalist nearly shut up," ap pears to have felt, and which has of late produced some astonishing convictions, and awakened thou sands, previously apathetic, to a sense of their dan ger. We may add that no paper in Liverpool has done so much as ours to warn CAPITALISTS " nearly shut up" of the difficulties which beset them, and it is certainly not our fault if they are not by this time fully alive to the monster grievance with which they have to contend—the disgraceful Currency Laws of Sir Robert Peel. FROM the Monthly Colonial Circular of Mr. R. Burn, of Manchester, giving the exports of cotton, silk, linen, and woollen manufactures during the first four months of the years 1847, 1848, 1849, and 1850, we observe an increase to some markets, and a decrease to others, which are very significant upon questions, at the present moment of vital importance to the true interests of the manufac turing and commercial portion of the community. Take the first pOrt named in the circular in ques tion—Calcutta—we find an increase of 20,240,579 yards of plain calicoes in the first four months of 1850 over the average of the corresponding months of the three years preceding, the exports this year being above one-half those of the three preceding years. Of printed and dyed calicoes we find the increase to he 6,202,717 yards, the total of the three preceding years being only 7,965,230 yards, and the exports of the present year alone exceeding those of the previous three years by 559,233 yards ! In both these articles there has been a large increase during the past month over the average of the three preceding months. To Madras there has been a similar large increase this year; the exports of both articles exceeding the gross quantity of those of the four months of 1847, 1848, and 1849, and those of the last month being upwards of a third in plain calicoes, and a half of printed and dyed, of the aggregate of the threepreceding months of this year. To Sincapore and Manilla, to Batavia, and to other ports of India, there is also a large increase. Now, we ask, how are we to account for this vast increase of our shipments of cotton goods to India, and what proof have we that they have gone forward to a profitable market? fhe prices of the leading articles of East Indian production have certainly not increased materially during the past year over former years ; and we are not aware that the quantities imported into Europe have. The prices of cotton goods, owing to the advance of the raw material, have been anything but conducive to their increased consumption in the Indian market. The circumstance of this immense increase is the more singular, inasmuch as we find no increase in our exports of o th er t ex til e f a b r i cs to th a t mar k e t . The conclusion, then, is inevitable, that a forced trade has been carried on ; that our cotton manu facturers, deprived of their usua l h ome mar k e t, have been driven to extend unwarran t a bl y th e i r s hipments to foreign and colonial markets ; and the prospect of a profitable issue certainly appears to us to be anything but promising, as will be seen from the following extract from the commercial intelligence brought to us by the last India mail "The mercantile advices from India received this after noon by the overland mail are rather of a discouragin g character. At Bombay, although money was easier, business was more dull than ever, the season being on the point of closing, while large arrivals had added to the weight of previously existing stocks. At Calcutta, also, there had been increased dulness, with some decline in prices, although in that city stocks were by no means heavy. From China the accounts are less unfavourable, the Canton market exhibiting a better tone, but the demand was still limited, and at Shanghae, notwithstand ing the firmness of holders, prices had in many instances receded." - While this was being penned not a yard of the large shipments of the present year could have reached I n di a ; an d o f t h e f urt h er l arge l y i ncrease d shipments of the past two months not even an ad vice could have been received, even through the o verland mail. It i s grea tl y t o b e f eare d th a t a ru i n ous revulsion must shortly occur in this quarter, which will tend to prove that large additions to our unaccompanied by a exports, when prosperous market for, and an increase in, the imports re mitted in return, are anything but infallible proofs of a prosperous state of affairs. A large increase, we observe, is also taking place in our exports to The United States, with what e:4- pectation of a profitable return we leave to exporters to determine, preferring to quote the following opinion of the Liverpool correspondent of the Man chester Guardian of Saturday to expressing any decided one of our own : " The Pacific, which sailed yesterday, took about sixty passengers and a fair quantity of freight. When we con sider that the liners are all going full of dry goods, it is rather extraordinary to find the steamers take so much freight at the high rate of seven guineas per ton. The excess of shipments during the last two months, over the same period last year, is said to be over 50 per cent. I cannot find a single American who thinks the actual cir cumstances warrant this increased export ; and it can no longer be concealed that serious apprehensions exist amongst the well-informed, that we are approaching one of those revulsions which have so often disturbed the ' American trade, and that the high price of the raw ma terial is accelerating its arrival. The last five years of successful trade (.9 have put out of sight the danger of overtiading; and, at the hazard of being set down as a croaker, I again intrude this unpleasant topic on your readers." We must remark, however, that there appears some reason in the view of the case here expressed, with the exception of the " five years of successful trade" spoken of. The stock of Cotton—America's chief remittance—is established now as being short ; and the prospects of the next crop are anything but favourable. Our Manchester friends assure us that she has no grain to send us, or which she can afford at present prices. We have as many of her state and other stocks as British Capitalists can be fooled into buying; and how.otherwise she can pay us, without remitting specie, and thus bringing upon her own mercantile community a monetary crisis, of a more devastating character than ever was felt by her since she became one of the family of nations, passes our comprehension. It may be said, indeed, by superficial thinkers, that the Californian discoveries of America will help her in such an emergency. We prefer, how ever, the opinion of parties on the spot as to the present benefit to that country of its newly found El dorado. The following extract trom the National Intelligencer. adopted in a recent number of the New York Courier and Enquirer conveys the opin ion upon the subject of many sensible Americans : " From the opening of the Trade with California down to the present time, the value of our shipments to this country cannot be less than forty millions of dollars, and it may be fifty millions. Sufficient time has elapsed to receive the greater portion of this sum in gold dust; but, according b the returns of the Mints up to the Ist of May, only thirteen millions three hundred thousand dol lars had been received. The receipts since are stated to be about two millions, making in all, fifteen millions,. or about one-third of the cost of the shipments. If, as it is generally believed, the shipments to San Francisco have realised large profits, (which we do not believe,) we ought to have received by this time, in gold dust, the half of some sixty or seventy millions of dollars. As the ac count stands now, California is benefited at the expense of the Atlantic border of the Union, and we doubt not we shall be the creditors for a long time to come." _ Between their European creditors and their debtors on the shores of the Pacific, the solvency of the people of the Atlantic side of the Continent will be rather doubtful should any monetary crisis visit them. Colonel Sibthorp has returned fifteen per cent. to his tenantry. On Sunday morning, shortly after daybreak, a re spectably-dressed man leaped from Southwark-bridge, and was drowned. Mr. Robert Batty, of this town, passed his examina tion at Apothecary's Hall on Thursday, and received a certificate to practise. The Rev. W. Maskell, late chaplain to the Bishop of Exeter, was received on Saturday into the Roman Catho lic Church, at the chapel in Spanish-place, London. The bazaar and concert in aid of the Lying-in Hospital realized the handsome sum of £4OO. The institution can now boast of being out of debt, and having a small balance in its coffers. The infant Prince was christened on Saturday by the Archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by the Bishops of Chester and Oxford. The infant was christened Arthur William Patrick Albert. The sponsors were the Prince of Prussia, the Duke of Wellington, and the Duchess of Kent for the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar. - . Dr. MIN elle will preach in St. Luke's Church, Chorl ton-upon-Medlock, Manchester, this evening, when a collection will be made in aid of the liquidation of incum brances at present resting on the church. St. Luke's is under the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Maguire. COLLISION. Yesterday, Mr. Rushton ordered the owners of the steam-tug Earl of Powis to pay to the owners of the David, for damage done to the latter by the Argyle, which was in tow of the steamer, running into her and damaging her to that extent on the Sunday pre vious. FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—A number of the leading liberals in this town have, it appears, formed themselves into a society for the foisting on the registry as many faggot votes fur the county as they can muster. Our Conservative friends should be on the watch to defeat their unconstitutional intentions. CONCERT. —The concert in aid of the Lying-In Hospi tal, on Thursday evening, was very numerously and fashionably attended. The performances of the 52d gave the greatest satisfaction. Miss Whitnall, Mr. Percival, Mr. Miranda, and Mons. Saqui, kindly tendered their services, and the singing delighted the whole company. Mr. Percival's solos on the flute were given with his usual unparalleled efficiency. Yesterday two men (both cripples) and a woman were committed for trial charged with knocking down and ill treating, on Saturday night in Roscommon-street, a gen tleman named Mather, who was subject to fits, and un fortunately was overtaken by one during the altercation with the prisoners. They stripped him of his coat as he lay insensible, and were proceeding to take off his waist coat, when some parties came up, and they made off. HIGH-CLASS PICTURES.—We had the pleasure yester day of a cursory examination of a few excellent paintings, late the property of J. Williams, Esq., of Boughton, which are now on view at the Adelphi Hotel, Woodside, and which will be sold by auction on Thursday. They comprise some exquisite specimens by Town ; a Gem ; " The Hawker's Cart," by Gelkie ; works by Van Wor rd, Naysmith, Paul Potter, Cooper, Wattenas, Grant, Rembrandt, and other renowned Artists. They form a valuable though small collection. THE APPEARANCE OF THE CROPS,—The uninterrupted fine weather which we have had during the last few weeks has had its effect on the growing crops. Along the whole line of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway from this town to Manchester the aspect of the country presents one unvaried picture of plenty. The potatoes never looked better, both as r r,i)rCs health and the promise of a plenti ful crop. The hay crop is equally good; some is already housed, and a good deal is under the scythe. The corn, too, has a strong and vigorous appearance. SUNDAY LABOUR AT THE POST•OFFICE.—We had prepared a long notice on this subject, which we have been compelled to postpone until next week. We are glad to hear that the new system works remarkably well. The letter-carriers, fifty in number, attended St. Silas's Church on Sunday morning, and St. Mark's Church in the evening, where thanksgiving was offered for the blessing conferred on them ; and they were afterwards suitably and impressively addressed by the Rev. Messrs. Cordeaux and Pollock. Owing to the omission of posi tive directions, on a single point, one or two clerks were detained on Sunday for a short time. We understand that a petition against the excellent arrangement lay in the Exchange News-room last week for signature, but it has been withdrawn—having received only about one hundred and sixty signatures. On Saturday evening, after the business of the day had been completed, we are informed that the clerks, sorters, letter-carriers, guards, &c., met at the Post-office, and, after singing the national anthem, gave three cheers for the good and gracious Queen who had released them from Sunday duty. IMPORTANT TO PURCHASERS OF PIANO-FORTES.-It gives us great pleasure to bear testimony to many im provements in Messrs. Broadwood and Collard's piano fortes, manufactured expressly for Mr. Edgar's establish ment, No. 1, Upper Duke-street„,-Tfie amateur will bi gratified to discover that in tUele instruments he can execute rapidly repeated n s e'i with the same precision and decided articulation • a first-rate performer. It has been Mr. Edgar's s •y to give to the public a first-class instrument at a • y moderate price. The piano submit ted to us is of s e neat cottage form: its keyboard is six and-three-' • arter octave 3. We congratulate Mr. E. on his succe- in offering the instruments at such a moderate price b such eminent makers as Messrs. Broadwood and Collar .-13th June, 1850.—Mail. AN Ar AB GAME.—The Arabs are far more amusable, far more jovial and open-hearted. They have their I coffee-houses every night, and their religious festivities periodically; they play at all sorts of complicated games, reserabling draughts and chess, and find means ingeni ously to vary their sports. If they compromise their dignity, they succeed in whiling away their leisure time far more successfully than the pride-stuffed Levantine. One of their amusements—called the game of plaff—is worth mentioning, especially as it is not only indulged in by the vulgar, but formed the chief delight of the vene rable Moharem Bey himself. Two men, often with respectable grey beards, sit on a carpet at a little distance one from the other. All Easterns are usually dry smo kers; but on this occasion they manage to foment a plentiful supply of saliva, and the game simply consists in a series of attempts on the part of the two opponents to spit on the tips of each other's noses. At first, this cleanly interchange of saliva goes on slowly and delibe rately—Socrates never measured the leap of a flea with more seriousness—but presently one receives a dab in the eye, another in the mouth. They begin to grow hot and angry. " I hit yo ur nose ," cr i es one. " N o, i t was my cheek !" replied the other. They draw a little nearer, in order to ascertain the truth by feeling ; spit, spit, they still go, like two vicious old cats; their palates grow dry ; their throats become parched; but the contest continues, and they exhaust themselves in making spitoons of each other's faces and beards. Hamlet and Laertes were not more eager and desperate. " A hit, a very palpable hit !" they exclaim, as they hawk up their last supply of am munition. Each denies the truth; they mutually pro ceed to a verification ; and the game of plaff often ends in a regular match of nose-pulling , —Baylett Residence in a Levantine Family, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. Disgraceful riots have taken place at Lisbon among the sailors of the British ships Arethusa and Phantome, while on shore. One marine of the former killed. G3Rlit ANY.—HAMBURGH, 21st inst.—The negociations with Denmark have not as yet led to any result. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-LAST On the motion for considering the amendment upon the Prussian Ministers Residence Bill, Sir R. INotis introduced the subject of the Chevalier Bunsen being removed from the gallery of the House of Lords this day week, through the in strumentality of Lord Brougham, and expressed rather strongly his feelings in favour of the Chevalier.—Mr. ROEBUCK, on the other hand, vindicated the proceedings of Lord Brougham; but the subject was dropped at the instance of Lord John Russell.— On the orders of the day being read, Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose and appealed to Mr. Anstey and Mr. Hume to withdraw their amendments upon the resolution of Mr. Roebuck on the Greek question, on the grounds that the same question was raised by each of their resolutions respecting the foreign policy of the goverment.—Mr. ANSTEY immediately acceded tothe request, but Mr. HUME declined to withdraw his amendment, reserving the right to act as he might think proper.—Mr. ROEBUCK then moved the resolution of which he gave notice on Thursday. He commenced at five minutes past five, by stating that, owing to the adverse vote of the House of Lords upon Lord Palmerston's policy, it had been necessary for that House to express its opinion thereon. He then reviewed the part taken by this country, from the first French revolution, in foreign affairs. Our interference in those events brought on general war, but Lord Palmerston had acted in a different spirit when the second French revolution broke out; he did not interfere,yet preserved peace; and in all the subsequent events he had successfully pursued the same policy. He made a furious attack on Russia, and expressed his approval of Lord Palmerston's conduct with regard to Hungary, and then referred to the affairs of Greece; into the details of which he entered at some length.— Mr. ROEBUCK'S speech was pretty well received. There seemed to be an impression in the house that it was too pom pous. It was conceived in the to quoque spirit, and the re joinder of Sir F. Tx ESIGER upon his consistency elicited loud cheers. The hon. baronet charged Mr. Roebuck with having called Lord Palmerston, in 1843, a lucifer match. The galle ries were very greatly crowded, and the house was full of mem bers, many of whom, however, departed for dinner imme diately that Mr. Hume rose. and the numbers were still more diminished when Sir F. Thesiger rose. In the seats appro priated to peers was Lord Stanley, who sat between Lord Campbell and the Bishop of Norwich. Many other peers were present, who remained during the greater part of the evening. —Mr. HUME has withdrawn his amendment. LATEST BETTING. TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY.

The Consol maret exceedingly quiet all day, but drooped an eighth just at the close, upon doubts as to the result of the debate to-night. The Railway market very quiet, with prices at Saturday's quo tations. The market generally strong, but with so little busi ness that no particular tone can be reported. LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY. There has been only a small supply of English Wheat at this da)'s market, and the rates of Monday last supported. Millers, however reluctantly, purchased, and several parcels remain unsold. In the value of Foreign scarcely any alteration ; sup plies good and market dull. Prime Oats still in small supply and in good request, realizing fully last week's currency, Inferior Corn dull at former quotations, and was plentiful Flour held for last Monday's prices,. but the business done far from active. Barley dull of sale ; inferior sorts cheaper. In Beans and Peas no change, and dealings on a small scale. English IN•bite Wheat, 40s. to 48s. ; red, 365. to 425. LONDON PRODUCE ➢IARKET.-YESTERDAY. Tallow remains dull of sale, at 368. 6d. to 375. for P.Y.C. on the spot, and 38s. for the last three months. This day, 24,733 casks, against 23,304 casks. The deliveries last week were 946 casks, against 1,132 in the corresponding weeks of 1849; home made plentiful, at 355. 6d. nett cash. In Coffee little bu siness done to-day; but few sellers under 40s. to 435. for ordinary to good ordinary native Ceylon.

Trade dull; many of good quality selling at 3s. per stone. A few prime Scots with diffi culty made 3s. 44. Sheep sold slowly, particularly inferior qualities; choice Downs made 3s. 4d. There was a good de mand for Lambs. Calves sold at reduced prices. Mr. Cardwell, Sir T. Birch, and W. Brown, voted on Friday against the motion for a modification of the Irish national educational system. Sir P. Egerton, and J. Tollemache voted in favour of it. A public breakfast was given to Dr. Bunting at Leeds, on Wednesday. More than six hundred persons were present and the rev. doctor met with a most enthusiastic reception. Three more Wesleyan "leaders" were expelled from the society at York last week, without a trial. The pro ceedings were frequently interrupted by much disturbance. WESLEYAN BAZAAR.—The appeal to the public ir. behalf of the Wesleyan schools, will no doubt be liberally responded to. A bazaar is about to be held in the splendid room of the Philharmonic-hall, which will, no doubt, form a very great attraction. THE ASSIZES.—the assizes will commence at Liver pool on Saturday, the 10th of August. The causes in the Salford list will be taken first, and those in the West Derby list will not be called on before Wednesday, the 11th of August. The first day is the last day for making up issues in time for trial at Liverpool. ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH.—We understand that Sir John Gladstone has appointed the Rev. T. C. Cowan to succeed the Rev. John Jones in the incumbency of St. Andrew's Church, Renshaw.street. The former rev. gentleman, as our reade-s are aware, has officiated some time as incumbent of St. Thomas's, Toxteth-park, to which he was presented by the same hon. baronet. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—John Bassford, a carter, was yesterday committed for trial for embezzling from his employer, Richard Price, a master carter, in Mersey street, several small sums of money. He had received several shillings on the Ist of June for carting rice, which he had not paid over, and on a subsequent day a sum of 7s. 6d. in a similar way. ILLEGAL WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. His Worship the Mayor, John Holmes, Esq., assisted by Mr. Wybergh, held a court yesterday, at the Sessions-house, to hear numerous charges preferred by Messrs. Kissack and Ed wards, against various shopkeepers, &c.. for having and using illegal weights and measures, by which their cus tomers, more particularly those belonging to the poorer classes, are gri'ivously robbed. A great number of parties were fined in sums varying from 40s. to 2s. 6d. CONSECRATION.—The new church of St. Alban's, at the east end of Bond-street, in Bevington district, will be consecrated to-morrow (Wednesday) morning by the Lord Bishop of Chester, who will also preach on the oc casion, and a collection will be made for the Church of England Schools in Bond-street. The church will con tain about 12,000 sittings. It has been built by the Liverpool Church Building Society under Sir Robert Peel's Act, and is therefore endowed with £l5O a year as soon as consecrated. AMERICAN RIVER STEAMERS. — Previously to 1844, the lowest fare between New York and Albany, one hundred and forty-five miles, was four shillings and fourpence (one dollar). At present the fare is two shillings and two pence, and for an additional sum of the same amount, the passenger can command the luxury of a separate state room. When the splendour and magnitude of the accom modation is considered, the magnificence of the furniture and accessories, the cheapness and luxuriousness of the table, (each meal, supplied on the most liberal scale, costing only two shillings and twopence,) it will be ad mitted that no similar example of cheap locomotion can be found in any part of the world. Passengers may there be transported in a floating palace, surrounded with all the conveniences and luxuries of the most splendid hotel, at the rate of twenty miles an hour, for less than one sixth of a penny per head per mile. It is not an uncom mon occurrence, during the summer, to meet individuals on board these boats, who have lodged themselves there permanently during a certain part of the season, instead of establishing themselves, as is customary, at some of the hotels in the towns on the hanks of the river. Their daily expenses in the boat are as follows :—Fare, 2s. 2d. ; exclusive use of state-room, &c., 2s. 2d. ; breakfast, din ner, and supper, 6s. 6d. ; total daily expense for board, lodging, attendance, and travelling 150 miles at from 18 to 20 miles an hour, 10s. 10d. Such accommodation !a, on the whole, more economical than any hotel. The state-room is as luxuriously furnished as the most hand some bedroom, and is more spacious than the room in packet-ships similarly designated. To obtain an ade quate notion of the form and structure of one of the first class steam-boats on the Hudson, let it be supposed that a boat is constructed similar in form to a Thames wherry, but above three hundred feet long, and twenty-five or thirty feet wide. Upon this, let a platform of carpentry be laid, projecting several feet upon either side of the boat, and at stem and stern. The appearance to the eye will then be that of an immense raft, from two hundred and fifty to three hundred and fifty long, and some thirty or forty feet wide. Upon this flooring let us imagine an oblong, rectangular wooden erection, two stories high, to be raised. In the lower part of the boat, and under the flooring just mentioned, a long narrow room is construct ed, having a series of berths at either side, three or four tiers high. In the cmtre of this flooring is usually, but not always, inclosed an oblong, rectangular space, within which the steam machinery is placed, and this inclosed space is continued upwards through the structure raised on the platform, and is intersected at a certain height above the platform by the shaft or axle of the paddle- . wheels. These wheels are propelled. generally, by a sin gle engine, but occasionally, as in the European vessels, by two, The paddle-wheels are usually of great diameter, varying from thirty to forty feet, according to the magni tude of the boat. In the wooden building raised upon the platform already mentioned, is contained a magnificent saloon devoted to ladies, and to those gentlemen who ac company them. Over this, in the upper story, is , con structed a row of small bed-rooms., each handsomely furnished, which those passengers can have who desire seclusion, by paying a small additional fare. The lower apartment is commonly used as a dining or breakfast room."—Lardnir'4 Railway Economy, _ COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT. Monday Night. The Share market has been very steady all week,• and a large amount of business has been done. The account about to close gives evident symptoms of being a 'bear account ; stock being eagerly asked for by the dealers, from this we may look for another advance. This day's quota tions are :—Leeds Fifths, 94 dis. ; London Stock, 1091; Ditto Quarters, 4 13/9 4 pm. ; :Midland Stock, 364, closes 37 to 374 ; Ditto Halves, 264 3/9 dis. ; Newcastle Pre ference, 5 dis. With the exception of a little excitement in the Cotton trade, the prevailing feature on 'Change to-day has been extreme dullness; and as far as regards the demand for Cotton, nearly half the sales since Friday have been on speculation and for export, the trade having been incited to briskness mainly by the intelligence per Asia, received on Saturday, and not by any legitimate demand for con sumption, the accounts from the cotton manufacturing districts being rather unfavourable. The Asia's advices fully confirm previous accounts of the backwardness of the growing crop, and also bring advanced quotations from New York ; so that it is not at all surprising that an immediate improvement took place in this market. The sales on Saturday amounted to 10,000 bales, of which 6,000 were taken on speculation and for export, at an advance of 1-16 d., and in some cases 4d. per lb. over Friday's rates. To-day, with an increased demand from the trade, the latter fraction has been established as the improvement in value, and 10,000 bales have been sold, of which 3,000 were on speculation and for export. The business includes 2,000 Brazils, 300 Egyptians, and 1,000 Surats (500 on speculation.) The determination evinced by some of our English corn merchants to report the markets in their different localities higher than warranted by facts, has had the effect of keeping down foreign imports latterly. This method of proceeding would doubtless be politic, if they could by that means drive the foreigner out of the market alto gether; but while we still import Nrgelv and the conti nental and other markets are influenced 'by , advices from this country, it follows as a matter of course, that every additional penny added to the price of wheat at Stettin, Altona, Odessa, or elsewhere, by the penchant forrepresent - ing prices higher than their legitimate level, which has been so much indulged in of late, must come out of the pocket of the British merchant himself. We do not charge any one with making erroneous quotations ; it is in the descriptive matter of the corn circulars that the mischief originates. For example : during the last four or five weeks ?re have had notifications to the effect that some markets were " firm," "last week's prices readily obtainable" in others, and 6d. or ls. advance realised in the rest—in scarcely an instance was there a decline ; and yet, on comparing the Gazette averages, we find that on the 25th May the price of Wheat was 40s. 7d. ; on the Ist in stant, 40s. 2d. ; Bth, 395. Bd. ; and on the 15th, 395. 11d. ; being a total decline from the highest point of no less than eightpence ! We have about three dozen circulars before us at the present moment, of the latest dates, all of which give either steady or higher values for Wheat; and we lay this information before our readers as we received it; next week we shall apply the test—THE AVERAGES. The state of the trade in Brunswick-street, at the close of the week, and also to-day, has been extremely quiet, scarcely any business having been transacted, both millers and dealers waiting the event of to-morrow's market. With the exception of a moderate quantity of Oats, the arrivals into this port (from Monday to Saturday inclusive) of either English or Irish produce have been very light. From the various ports of Europe, however, we have received about 10,000 qrs. of Wheat, and a few parcels of Barley and Oats ; from Egypt and the United States, 9,500 qrs. Indian Corn ; and about 3,500 sacks of Flour from France. The weather during the week has been every where most propitious. The accounts from the agricultural dis tricts of this country give abundant promise, and the fears of even a late harvest are rapidly vanishing. In Scotland the crops are looking well, and we understand that the Wheat plant is beginning to shew the ear very gene rally on the forward soils in some localities. In the south of Ireland hay cutting has commenced, and early Wheat is in ear and first blossom ; but all spring crops are still backward. There are certain rumours afloat with regard to the appearance of a taint in the potatoes ; hut we have the best authority for stating that they are too indistinct and trifling to be worthy of comideration; in addition to this, the breadth of land laid under potato cultivation this year is very great. The bullion in both departments of the Bank of Eng land has increased from £16,865,905, to £16,942,277, being a difference of £66,372. The paper in actual circu lation had increased from £20,354,851, to £20,627,875, being a difference of £283,024. On Wednesday a fire occurred on board the ship Hero, in the Prince's Dock. It was suppressed without much injury : but Inspector Bibby and one of the fire-brigade were severely hurt from one of the wheels of an engine flying off in Water-street whilst en route to the dock. During the past week numerous workmen were busily enlaged in constructing a large boarding round the prin cipal portion of St. George's-hall, preparatory to pulling down the scaffolding used in raising the statuary, and making the flight of steps which lead up to the front en trance. PRICE OF LABOUR.—Hay-making is now becoming pretty general in this neighbourhood. A year or two ago the price paid here to agricultural labourers was 2s. per day, but the farmers within three miles of town—the second in the kingdom—can now get any number of men to work. at all agricultural employments, at the wretched pittance of ninepence a day. Multitudes of this class might be seen last week in the hayfields about Wavertree, and whilst probably the majority of the persons engaged were natives of the sister country, where aro the great mass of our own population, and what are they doing ! These are questions which will have to be grappled with seriously ere long, however slightly they may be regarded at present by our statistical philosophers. ANNIVERSARY OF WALLASEY BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. —Yesterday the anniversary of this society, better known as " the Wallasey Club," was celebrated in the usual manner, and with a little more than the usual pleasure to all parties interested. The club in question has been established since the year 1822, and is a benefit club, paying 10s. a week to the sick members, £lO on the death of a male member, and £5 on the death of a female. So excellently have its affairs been hitherto managed, that a membership of the society is a desideratum in the eyes of the most respectable portion of the middle classes in the neighbourhood in which it has been established, and it can boast of about thirty honorary members, who contri bute their subscriptions, althouf , h very unlikely to avail themselves of the advantages IN bich it confer 3. At about ten o'clock yesterday, the club having assembled at Sea combe, and been marshalled on Messrs. Parry's green, proceeded in march to Poulton, accompanied by Jolliffe's band, past the house of Mr. Henry Meadows, their chair man, to " the Boot" public-house, in Wallasey, and thence to the church, where a seemon was preached to them by the Rev. Mr. Haggitt, the rector. From the church they proceeded through Breck, and up Wallasey village, to the club-room, where an excellent and sub stantial dinner awaited them, got up under the superin tendence of Mrs. Meadows—a lady who takes a great interest in the welfare of the members of the society, and of the inhabitants of this portion of the hundred of Wir ral. Henry Meadows, Esq., of Poulton, took the chair on the occasion, and at his table we observed the Rev. Mr. Haggitt, rector of Wallasey ; the Revds. Mr. Tobin, Mr. Judge, and Mr. Pewley ; J. D. Maddock, Esq., Ste wart Bvrth, Esq., Dr. Shaw, Messrs. Thomson, Mann, C. H. Hill, Robert Edwards, &c. The body of the room contained a large number of the members—as fine a body of men as we ever saw, and, what is more, so far as the interests of the society are concerned, of young men. After the dinner had been concluded, the usual toasts were given, that most heartily responded to being the health of Mrs. Meadows, not the founder exactly, but the guardian angel of the feast, upon the prin ciple that the Lord sends meat, but somebody else sends cooks, which was responded to in feeling terms by the chairman, and the meeting shortly afterwards sepa rated. The sports outside no doubt lasted to a late hour. When Luther was at Coburg, he wrote to a friend : " I was lately looking out of my window at night, and I saw the stars. in the heavens, and God's great beautiful arch over my head, but I could not see any pillars on which the great builder had fixed this arch ; and yet the heavens fell not, and the great arch stood firmly. There are some who are always feeling for the pillars and longing to touch them ; and because they cannot touch them they stand trembling and fearing lest the heavens should fall. If they could only grasp the pillars then the hea vens would stand fast." DEMISE OF A MummY.—An honest footman, anxious to explore the wonders of the British Museum, obtained a special holiday a short time since; accordingly, taking with him a couple of lady friends, he presented himself at the door for admittance. "No admittance to-day, sir," said the keeper. "No admission ! but I must come in, I've a holiday on purpose !" "No matter, this is a close day, and the Museum is shut." " What !" said John, " aint this public property ?" " Yes ; certainly it is." " Well, then, I will go in." A curator, who overheard the dialogue, guessing his customer's calibre, stepped forward, saying politely, " I am very sorry, sir, but there's a funeral to-day. One of the mummies died two days ago, and we're going to bury him !" " Oh, ah, very well, in that case we certainly won't intrude," said John, retiring with all possible decorum. THE RAILWAYS OF THE WORLD.—One of the most surprising circumstances attending the creation of rail ways, is the amount of capital which, within a limited period, has been expended in their construction and equip ment. According to the calculations supplied in the work before us, there were in operation at the commencement of 1849, in different parts of the globe, a total length of 18,656 miles of railway, on which a capital of £368,567,000 had been actually expended. Besides this, it is estimated that there were at the same epoch, in progress of con struction, a further extent of 7829 miles, the cost of which, when completed, would be £146,750,000 ! Thus when these latter lines shall have been brought into ope ration, the population of Europe and the United States (for it is there only that railways have made any progress) will have completed, within the period of less than a quar ter of a century, 26,485 miles of railway ; that is to say, a greater length than would completely surround the globe, at a cost of above five hundred millions sterling ! To ac complish this stupendous work, human industry must have appropriated, out of its annual savings, twenty mil lions sterling for twenty-five successive years ! Of this prodigious investment, the small spot of the globe w hi c h we inhabit has had a share , which will form not the least striking fact in her history. Of the total length of rail ways in actual operation in all parts of the globe, twenty seven miles in every hundred, are in the united ki ng d om ! But the proportion of the entire amount of railway capital contributed by British industry is even more remarkable. It appears that, of the entire amount of capital expended on the railways of the world, fi fty-four pounds i n every hundred ; and of the capital to be expended on those in progres s, sixty-eight i pounds n every hundred,, are ap; ro. priated to *OO4 rig.h.vor t--Dublin UsOersily JAY. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS AND THE GREEK DISPUTE!! TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—The House of Commons is suddenly called upon to blemish its own character, in order to patch that of " her Majesty's Ministers." Cajolery, entreaties, warn ings, and threatenings, are indiscriminately wielded to induce that House to defy the decision of INDEPENDENT Peers, and so to stave off the repudiation of that hybrid theory which is now so grievously paralysing the best energies of our country. Yes, sir, the existence, or not, of Lord John Russell's government IS THE QUESTION on which the House of Commons will divide. It may be denied ; but why do the supporters of the Ministry pa rade before their readers so prominently and so repeat edly the possibility of its resignation, if it be not to divert the attention from the direct question in hand, and so by the contemplation of unwished-for consequences, to in tercept the work of conscience and the discharge of a highly-important public duty ! I fear the lower house—consisting of many whose seats are appropriated—will vote more for the maintenance of the present parliament, than from any great fondness for our foreign, colonial, Irish, or domestic policy. The most unlettered man in the empire has heard of our foreign squabbles, our colonial blunders, our Irish mis rule, and our domestic destruction of agriculture ; and yet ministers will have us think, that because the House of Commons may vote against its own dissolution, it likewise sincerely endorses the child's play of its govern ment ! Fiction ! Fiction ! The decisions of the lower house are always commercial, never moral or patriotic except by accident ; its mind is bored with one idea only, and it is with a view to that alone that almost all its decisions are directed. This is a sad state of affairs. But it will soon be over. The mighty voice which demands its dissolution like pealing thunder through the land cannot much longer be safely resisted, The House of Commons will do protection an infinite service by passing will, at the same time, take the responsibility—the serious responsibility—upon itself, of our existing unsatisfactory relations with foreign powers.—Yours, A PROTECTIONIST. Tune 24th, 1850. Of late there has been quite a mania for altering and beautifying shop fronts at Halifax. During such a process, on Wednesday, two shops in Northgate fell down ; several ominous cracks were heard during the day, and at tea-time the entire walls, floors, and roof fell in with a tremendous crash. The Bishop of Chester will next month preach in St. George's Church, in aid of the Blue-coat Hospital. The Rev. Mr. Lundy, of Edinburgh, is expected to succeed the Rev. Mr. Gardner in the pastoral charge of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Birkenhead. A great demonstration was made at Salisbury, on Thursday, in favour of protection. Among the speakers were Mr. Ferrand and Mr. G. F. Young. The Queen has presented to the inhabitants of Windsor about 100 acres in the Home Park for sports and re• creation. A new church at Shelf, near Leeds, and another at Bradford, have just been consecrated by the Bishop of Ripon. The Queen has presented £5O towards the fund for erecting an Asylum in connection with the Royal General Annuity Society. ALL churchyards in London are to be closed for ever on the Ist July, 1851, when burials are to take place in the suburban cemeteries. Prince Albert caused to be forwarded to Capt. Forsyth, of the Arctic expedition at Aberdeen, a beautiful organ for the use of the crew, but unfortunately it did not arrive until the vessel had sailed. Lord Howden, our newly-appointed minister to Spain, has sold his estate in Yorkshire, called Grimston, to Lord Londeshorough for £200,000. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Birkenhead, built by Laird, arrived at Portsmouth from Lisbon on Friday, after a run of two-and-a-half days against opposing breezes. During her passage she ran 200 miles in eighteen hours. A young man named Bingham, from Lincolnshire, has been brutally murdered at the diggings in California, by the Indians. His body was found dreadfully mutilated and robbed of everything in his possession. General Garibaldi, the celebrated defender of Rome, arrived in Liverpool on Saturday from Gibraltar. He will remain here for a few days, and it is said to be his inten tion to visit America. The annual examination at the Tarvin-hall School took place on Thursday week, in the lecture-hall of the institu tion. The attendance was numerous and highly respect able, comprising many of the first families in Cheshire and Lancashire, with others from a distance. The Bishop of Oxford preached the sermon at the 149th anniversary of the Gospel Propagation Society, on Wed nesday. The Archbishop of Canterbury and several bishops were present. In the evening the Lord Mayor gave a splendid banquet to the prelates and a number of other dignitaries of the church. CRICKET.—On Thursday last a match was played be tween the Olympus and the Preston Clubs, on the ground of the former, Prince's-park, which terminated in favour of the Preston. There not being time for two innings, the match was decided by the first, during which the Olympus club scored 82, and the Preston 103. EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.—At a meet ing of a Board of Examiners held last week, Captain William Fredrick Rogers, late master of the " Countess of Louden," of Liverpool, and Mr. Peter Campbell, late mate cf the " frydaspes," of Liverpool, were found quali fied for second class masters' certificates. On Tuesday, 500 members of the Elms Temperance Society, Toxteth-park, had a cheap excursion by railway to Rufford. The school-room was neatly fitted up, and every arrangement made for " teaing" the whole party. Sir T. G. Hesketh kindly threw open for tkeir gratifica tion his park, shrnbberies, pleasure grounds, &c., and the party enjoyed themselves to the full. On Saturday a deputation, consisting of nearly ninety members of the House of Commons, waited upon Lady Palmerston at the family mansion in Carlton-gardens, by appointment, for the purpose of presenting to her lady ship a full-length portrait of Viscount Palmerston, with an address expressive of the high sense they entertained of his Lordship's public and private character. MISFORTUNE OF NOTORIETY.—On Wednesday, a cab man was brought up at one of the London Police-offices, for a series of offences committed whilst in a state of drunkeness. The defendant pleaded as an excuse that he was the man who drove Mrs. Manning to the railway station from her house after the Bermondsey murder, and that when he told gentlemen of it, they treated him with too much wine. This plea, however, did not avail him. AN INFURIATED COAV.—The inhabitants of the neigh bourhood of the Infirmary were greatly alarmed yesterday by the vagaries of a cow which appeared to have broken loose from one of the adjacent slaughter-houses. The animal was evidently quite wild, and it was only by the greatest activity that many persons who happened to be in the street escaped ; as it was, we hear that two or three children were maimed by it. A posse of men and boys pursued it, and kept up the chase to the Park, where they succeeded in effecting a capture. The new docks at Sunderland were opened on Thurs day amidst great rejoicings. A splendid procession, a magnificent ball and sumptuous banquet, took place. Mr. George Hudson was the hero of the day, and was most enthusiastically received. He presided at the ban quet. The " great" dock is no less than 20 acres in ex tent, and besides this, and the tidal harbour, andthe half tide basin. &c., an area of upwards of 25 acres of land has been gained from the sea to the westward of the docks. TEST OF TANN'S SAFES.—In our notice last week of the test which was given of one of Tann's patent fire-re sisting safes, it should have been stated that after the box had been examinedisubsequent to tieing taken from the fire, it was again placed in the middle of the burning pile, and allowed to remain there another hour ; during this period, of course, the intensity of the heat had increased ; yet, when the chest was a second time examined its con tents were found, as on the former occasion, to be un injured. ST. BARNABAS SCHOOLS, GREENLAND.STBBET.—A public examination of these schools to3k place on Friday evening last, in the presence of about two hundred per sons, members of the congregation, and parents and other friends of the children ; the result of which was truly gratifying to all who witnessed it, and gave the fullest evidence of the zeal and assiduity of the teachers in the discharge of their important duties. It was con ducted by the Rev. G. Dover, Incumbent, and the Rev. G. Hubbert, Curate of St. Barnabas. The subjects on which they examined were, Old and New Testament his tory, geography, arithmetic, English hi 4( ry, English grammar; and, in addition to these, the boys answered many questions in Roman history. GRAND VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL CONCERT, AIN TREE.—This concert was held on Thursday evening last, in the Grand Stand, and drew together a numerous and fashionable audience, numbering upwards of 200. The selection of music was excellent, and the reception given to the talented vocalists and instrumentalists, twho so kindly gave their gratuitous services,') was such as must have been most gratifying to their feelings, awl plainly showed that the love of the fine arts is as deeply imbedded in the minds of the inhabitants of our suburban districts, as in the town itself. The various glees and concerted pieces were admirably rendered, and the inst•Nmentation of Mr. E. W. Thomas gained him thunders of applause. Miss Jessie Hammond received an unanimous encore in " Love lurks in a laughing eye," and the same compli ment was conceded to Miss Walker, and Messrs. Arm strong and Dodd ; during the evening the latter gentle man being immensely witty in some of his Irish songs, giving them the genuine Hibernian pathos, and with a readiness of humour seldom found. The concert termin ated with " God save the Queen" soon after nine o'clock.
