STANiiii. TO CORRESPONDENTS. Several pieces of poetry are declined. We have mislaid the letter of "P. M." We had no room for it at the time we received it. If we had any inquiry to make from" G. 5.," at " Birkenhead," where, in the multiplicity of streets in that town, should we find him. " AMECUS."—The gin palaces are private property—the post "office is a public establishment. In the tine case the sin rests with individuals; in the other the nation transgresses. We are not surprised at the silence of our contemporaries on the subject mentioned by " A Ratepayer." Any great reform is a work of time. Our correspondent will find to-day another communication which will interest him. Ebe 7Liberpool &tanbarb. TUESDAY iIIORNING, JULY 16, 1850, A few weeks ago we directed attention to the fact, which is every day becoming more painfully evident, that ship-building, as a trade distinct from ship-repairing. is rapidly leaving the port of Liver pool. The subject is so vitally important—the loss of that trade would involve the depreciation of such a mass of property, both corporate and pri vate, within the town, and so f arfully ir.crease our already onerous local rates—that we propose now to return to it, even at the risk of repeating some of our former remarks. Besides, from the apathy which has thus far been displayed by all parties and classes with respect to it, we feel satisfied that its details are very imperfectly understood by the public, and especially by the shopkeepers of the town, and others not directly connected with its leading branches of commerce. It is a fact tolerably well known, that the cost of a first-class Liverpool-built ship, A 1 for from 10 to 12 years, is about £l4 per ton for the hull alone, and additional for the fittings, &c. The following, we are informed, may be taken as about the appor tionment of the expenditure in the building of such a ship, 500 tons in burthen : Cost of Timber (average). .. £3,500 Labour Sails.. . ~ Copper.. . „ Chandlery, paint, &c „ Furnitore, &c. „ Rlpes „ Smiths' work 3,500 500 403 500 £9,800 These various items of course include the produc tions of a number of trades not specially men tioned, such as bloekrnakers, &c.; and it will at once he seen how large a portion of the total cost consists of labour, the proceeds of which must be expended in the town itself. Every ship which is built in Liverpool causes upwards of £5,000 of created capital, exclusive of the cost of raw mate rials, to be distributed amongst the butchers, the bakers, shopkeepers, and artizans of every descrip tion, in addition to the profits of the timber mer chant, the iron merchant, &c. At the present mo ment we believe there are not above ten vessels on the stocks in this port. The time has been when twenty was below the average. One of our builders —Mr. Wilson, whom we have driven to locate him self across the water—has been known to have four and five upon the stocks at a time ; and many of these steamers, or vessels of the largest size. Supposing this gentleman to build five vessels a year in Birkenhead, we shall have caused an ex penditure of from £30,000 to £50,000 to be trans ferred from Liverpool to our Cheshire neighbours. The loss to the town by the total destruction of the trade would be incalculable. In the mean time, it is an admitted fact—and owners of pro perty, who complain of decreased rentals, and tradesmen who complain of reduced custom, ought to ponder upon it well—that ship-building in Liver pool has already decreased one-half. It has been assumed by our mercantile aristo cracy, to whom we have left the greatest share of the management of our dock estate, that the trade of shipbuilding is second in importance to that of jobbing and repairing. So long as a vessel can he put into our graving docks and expeditiously re fitted, it is immaterial, they consider, whether the building branch is located at Maryport, White haven, the Isle of Man, or elsewhere. But can repairs be got done if we lost the building trade ? On the authority of the most competent parties, we answer unhesitatingly—No ! To conduct the repairing trade well, the workman must be tho roughly trained in building; and it is an acknow ledged fact that one-half of the men at present working at our public graving docks do not know how to put the frame of a ship together, and re quire to be guided at every step in their work ; and the really well trained and capable hands are so rapidly dying out, that in ten years hence it is not expected that there will remain a sufficient number to carry on the trade at all. We have at present not more than seven shipbuilding yards in Liverpool, in which a new generation of workmen can be trained. To a very great extent—and, indeed, almost wholly—this state of things has been brought about by the impolitic and unfair conduct of the Dock Committee and the Corporation towards the parties engaged in the shipbuilding trade. They have been cramped for yard room—removed from place to place at a short notice, and in the most arbitrary manner, thus deterring them from erect ing the machinery requisite for the economical carrying on of their business ; and charged rents much too high for the accommodation given. Thus Mr. Royden has been removed three times— first from Baffin-street to Queen Anne-street South ; next to another part of the same street; and lastly back to Baffin-street again. Mr. Clarke has been removed three times, at an expense to him, we are informed, of from £1.200 to £1,400; and his present yard being without a river front age, he is compelled, when building a ship, to occupy ground as subtenant to a neighbour. Mr. Wilson and others have been knocked about in the same way; and the result of these combined inflictions has been that Liverpool has bec ome a dear shipbuilding port, whereas its natural advan tages are superior to those of any other locality in the world. A few explanations will show how this is brought about, and at the same time point out how the remedy should be sought. To a builder con structing say two ships of five hundred tons bur then in a year, the space at present afforded ranges from 4,000 to 6,000 yards; and in many cases is even less. The consequence is, in the first place, to place a limit upon the extent to which a man can employ his capital, and in some cases t o bi n d him clown to the construction of ships of a parti cular size and tonnage, regulated not by the de mands of commerce, but by the contracted space at his command. The storage room left for his stock of.timber is too limited. It has to be formed in piles six or eight feet high, and the extra labour thus caused is very expensive. A particular piece wanted for any portion of the ship is perhaps at the bottom of the pile, which has consequently to be all turned over, or a less suitable piece is cut to waste; whereas had the stock been more spread might have been got at about, every por )n of , caused to our bt readily, as «•anted file difficulty and - extra by being thus deficient in storage room, is generally admitted. expens sent forming on the north shore, and a few localities at the southern end of the town. The latter are, we believe, preferred by a large majority of the builders. The land at present occupied by the tobacco warehouse and the dock yard would afford an excellent site; but serious difficulty would pro bably be experienced in securing its appropriation ; although the dock yard could be removed with advantage to the estate, and the tobacco warehouse he lar more conveniently placed nearer to the cen tre of the town. The land to the west of Bruns• wick Dock has also been approved of as suitable for any concern not in the most extensive business. The dock proposed to be made south of the present graving docks, might, it is suggested, be formed further inland, so as to allow of a good depth for the river frontage. There is plenty of water to launch in ; and this site is an excellent one, as is the Herculaneum property. Vessels might also be built on the east side of the Brunswick and Queen's Docks, and launched into them. There is also a slip of frontage land extending from the south end of the great landing stage to the entrance of the Canning and Albert Docks, which will be out of lease in 1857. The land in question is 300 yards in length and 100 deep at its narrowest point ; and no impediment need be created to the working of these docks by its appropriation, It would afford space for three building yards of 10,000 yards each, each capable of building three vessels per annum. The trade are strongly averse to the north end, both from its distance from the centre of the Dock Estate, and its exposure to gales. It has been suggested that the latter obstacle might be obviated by the erection of protecting walls round the yards, and by launching into the large timber float. Still, the other sits named are much preferred. One large builder indeed, we understand, has stated that he would rather go to Eastham than to any situation north of the Sandon Dock. A further material advantage would attend the southern end, as the locality of the builders' yards. The bulk of the trades connected with building, such as ship smiths, sailmakers, block makers, &c., have already establishments in the immediate neighbourhood, oc cupying a description of property peculiarly suited for them, and which would scarcely answer for any other purposes. The havoc which their removal to the north or elsewhere would cause to the owners of such property, and indeed of property of every description is incalculable. Already the decreased activity of the building trade and others connected with it has caused a very serious deterioration in its value. It will he known, no doubt, to most of our readers that a Committee of the Council was re cent!y appointed to investigate the whole subject and to endeavour to devise means by which a trade, so vitally important to the welfare of the port, can be properly accommodated. We are confident that we need not urge the gentlemen forming that com mittee to any greater activity and painstaking than their own sense of duty will impose upon them. They will have brought before their notice during the course of the enquiry facts of so striking a cha racter, evidencing so great an amount of ill-treat ment and consequent suffering imposed upon the shipbuilding trades as must convince them that the time for hesitation has passed. But we may ad dress a few words to the tradesmen and ratepayers of the town. This question appears hitherto to have been regarded as one almost exclusively be tween the Dock Trustees and the builders, in the settlement of which the latter must in every in stance give way. It has, however, a much wider scope, and ought to be strenuously taken up by the public of the town. It involves the important ques tions whether the Dock and Corporate Estate has been so managed as to advance to the utmost extent possible the interests of the burgesses at large ; whether it has been wisdom to throw every let and impediment in the way of the extension of trades employing large masses of our labouring population and skilled artizans, and whether it will be wisdom now to transfer these trades without the parochial boundary, to the damage of the Bur gesses' Estate, upon which they and the workmen they employ are located. The most moderate expec tation entertained, we believe, of the effect of giving proper accommodation is, that the trade would shortly be doubled in amount; and that the classes engaged in its various branches—and one ship building-yard will employ about thirty journeymen, besides apprentices—will, instead of being scattered up and down, precariously working upon jobs and repairs, be placed in receipt of permanent wages, and work under their masters' eye and in the im mediate vicinity of their own dwellings. It is a question in which every owner of property, every shopkeeper, every artizan, as well as the ratepayers and burgesses of the town at large are deeply in terested, and upon which they ought to speak out on the earliest possible occasion. We beg to direct attention to a communication, addressed to us by Mr. W. Bancks, upon the subject of a currency consisting of notes of one pound and upwards, to be issued on Corporation security, at twelve months after date, and to be receivable for all imposts owing to the Corporation, as town dues, renewals of leases, rents, water rates, &c. We have already expressed ourselves satisfied of the perfect feasibility of this system ; and have no hesitation in saying that, with such a system, properly admin istered, the construction of the Rivington Pike Works need not cost the people of Liverpool one shilling. We may here inform our readers that since the subject was first broached it has made some way in our town ; and they must not be sur• prised to witness shortly an important organisation to carry it into execution. A fierce controversy, and an equally fierce rivalry, are at present going on between the City of Dublin Company, and the Cork and Waterford Railway Company, the latterof whom is aided , it is said,by the Holyhead Railway Company. Mr. Malcolmson, on the part of the Cork and Waterford, has threatened, it is stated, to drive the Dublin Company to lay up their boats, and has refused to leave the differences between the companies to an impartial arbitration. What the real cause of quarrel is, or which of the parties are in fault, we do not profess to know very correctly. From the better temper displayed by them, and the well-known steady and prudent manner in which they have always hitherto con ducted their business, we should certainly incline to the belief that the Dublin Company are the wronged parties. In the meantime, however, what. ever has been the cause of the existing quarrel, it is sad to see the waste of property and profits which is taking place. How large a number of the innocent shareholders, some perhaps interested in both companies, are being mulcted of what may possibly he the greatest or only source of their in come thrown away in the strife of directors which is going on ! It would be well if the great body of the share holders in both companies would stand forward and arrest the progress of this ruinous competition, which can only terminate in a loss to both parties. No set of directors ought to he permitted to gratify their own personal animosities at the expense of the property of their constituents. Let a public meeting be called of both companies, and the real facts brought to light. Then, if it seem that the directors of either have conducted themselves with bad temper, let them be compelled to make the amende, or retire from the board. The smallest space allowed to any party, engaged largely, ought to be 10,000 yards, which would allow of three ships being in progress at once. The depth of each yard should be at the least 115 - , to allow for the increasing length which we are now giving to steamers and ships generally; and to every such yard it is most desirable that a graving dock, 350 feet long, to hold two ships at THE Manchester Guardian, on Wednesday last, once, should be attached, as proposed by the Cor- took exception to some calculations in our corn poration for Mr. Wilson, on the Birkenhead side o f mercial article of the preceding day, in which it the river. A lease for at least fourteen years is was shown, as we thought on tolerable data, that indispensible. The advantage of such an arrange- there was every probability that we should close xnent would be very great, by decreasing the ex- the present year with a stock of cotton of under pense of cartage now paid for materials from the 200,000 bales. Our mode of arriving at this result builder's yard to our public graving docks, and was the following plain and simple one :—We esti keeping the hands more constantly under the mas- mated the stock of cotton in Liverpool, on the 4th ter's eye. The interest of the expenditure upon of July, at 500,000 bales—By the bye, it was these graving docks would be willingly paid by the nearly 800,000 bales at the same period in the pre trade. With respect to the amount of . advant age v i ous year — an d ant i c i pate d t h at we s h oul d receive of having sheds in the yards, some difference of in addition, up to the end of the year,—from Ame opinion, we believe, exists ; but it is generally con- rica, 300,000 bales; from Bombay, 70,000 bales ; ceded that they would be of service to the work- and from Egypt and other countries, 50,000; men; and the fact that vessels so built are classed making up, in all, 920,000 bales; from which de by Lloyd's for a year additional is strongly in favour ducting, for probable exports to the continent, of the plan. 60,000 bales, we have a net supply of 860,000 bales It is admitted on all hands by those connected to rely upon up to the end of the year.

The the fact that, according to the advices from the most central point would obviously be that which United States, up to the 25th inst., 860,000 bales the trade would prefer; but, unfortunately, we had been already exported to Great Britain, al have appropriated the best sites by occupying the though two and a half months of the shipping year frontage with docks, which might far more advan- were unexpired. What that has to do with our tageously have been carried farther inwards. Our statement we really cannot perceive except that only choice, therefore, lies between the land at pre- the Guardian's gross export for Great Britain from I America is 860,000 bales up to .the 25th of June ' whereas our nett exports, added to present stocks, is set down as amounting to precisely the same quantity on the 31st of December. Our contem porary flitch fault with some mere opinions of our own, which had relation solely to the probable stock at the end of the year, and not to our estimate of the probable imports to the end of the year. We find, however, that whereas the difference between the receipts in the ports this year is only 501,685 bales to come forward, or he retained for home consumption, it was 666,000 bales at the corres ponding period of last year. We shall not, however, follow our comtemporary through the rest of his cavillings, inasmuch as he has evidently written from a too hasty considera tion of our remarks. His reference, however, at the commencement of his article to the mistaken " dismal vaticinations " of Liverpool authorities, and their alleged falsification last year, is too bad. The stock at the end of last year would have been about as short as it was predicted, but for our spin ners resorting to short time during the concluding few months • and we must remind our contem porary that his own vaticinations this year of abun dant crops and moderate prices have been rather " dismal" to those who have unfortunately believed them. At any rate, it does not appear, from the im mense trade carried on since our remarks were given to the public, that they have been regarded as altogether fallacious. Spinners have at length arrived at the conclusion that it is wisdom to stock themselves in time, in order to be enabled to guard against the ruinous consequences of having at the last hour to come into a market badly supplied, and at exorbitant prices. Had our warnings months ago been more regarded, and consumption diminished, instead of exports forced out to noto riously unremunerative markets, the manufacturing interest would have been in a better position to protect themselves and their dependents against the serious calamity with which they are now threatened. But all wisdom, it seems to be thought, is located in Manchester. Since writing the above, we have received the following letter from a correspondent, of which, from the high authority of the writer, we most gladly avail ourselves, It will be seen that his figures and our own differ ; but on reference to the article on which he comments be will at once ob serve that our figures throughout refer to Liverpool stocks, imports, &c., whilst his refers to stocks, &c. for the entire kingdom.. Taking this into consider ation, we think we do not materially differ from him, Our correspondent himself will admit that 337,000 bales for the entire kingdom is a rather short stock to begin the year with, in the face of a crop generally estimated as likely to be below the average, if not below that of last year. SUPPLY OF COTTON TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Sin,-- . 1 noticed, in a recent number of the Standard, some statistical information regarding cotton, which I re collect at the time (not having the figures now before me) did not appear to me to have been formed with much judgment or regard to probabilities. I have, therefore, taken the liberty of sending you an amended statement, which I am of opinion persons engaged in the cotton trade will not find much fault with. You will observe that the question is more regarding the supply for the remainder of the year, than what the consumption is likely to be, although I venture an opinion upon both points. With regard to the latter, you will permit me to remark, that you gentlemen of the press seem to blame spinners for not at once putting their works upon short time, seeing that it is pretty evident there must be an in sufficient supply of the raw material. But such matters regulate themselves. When spinners can 1101 longer ma nufacture at a profit, they will cease spinning ; but whilst there is a demand for all they produce, whether in goods or yarns, arid at remunerative prices, you may rely upon it spinners will not resort to short time whilst a single bale of cotton is to be had, no matter what prices may go to. _ _ The stock of cotton in the kingdom on the Ist instant was estimated at 385,000 bales American, 100,000 „ Brazil, &c., 125,000 East India. 610,000 bales The export in the last six months of 1849 amounted to 140,000 bales : this year we will call it 120,000 bales. The imports last six months of 1849 was 330,000 bales American, and 580,000 of all kinds. This year, as there is a larger stock remaining in the ports of the United States, we must look for a larger import from that quar ter than we had last year, and, upon a careful review of the whole question, the following may be considered a fair estimate of the supply for the last six months of 1850: United States Brazil, Egypt, &c. East Indies Add stock on band . 575,000 610,000 Deduct export 1,185,000 „ 122,000 „ 1,065,000 „ The next question is the consumption, which, at the present moment, cannot be estimated at less than 32,000 bales per week, but we cannot reasonably expect that it will continue at this rate during the remainder of the year. No doubt spinners will trench somewhat upon the ample stocks they hold, and may probably be driven to reduce the consumption to a moderate extent, although of this there are no present indications. However, we may safely take 28,000 bales per week, as the quantity spinners are likely to take out of the ports for the remain der of the year, which for 26 weeks will amount to 728,000 bales, and this would leave a stock at the end of the year of 337,000 bales of all descriptions, against 558,000 bales at the end of last year. A COTTON MERCHANT, LAUNCH OF THE EXCELSIOR. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. A new and heautifuliy modelled schooner was launched on Thursday last from the yard of Messrs. Jordan and Co., Sefton-street, and as she is the first craft built upon a principle recently patented, more than usual excitement was created and the attendance was most numerous. She was neatly rigged as a foretopsail schooner, and was launched all standing. The ceremony of christening was performed by Miss Jordan. She left the stocks with ease and elegance, and gliding smoothly into the water, pre sented a picture of nautical beauty. She was decorated with flags from the truck of the foremast to the bowsprit end, and from the tip of the boom to the main top mast head. At the peak was the Union Jack. After a short space of time the company adjourned to a splendid V jeuner provided in the Mould-room, when toasts of the most feeling kind were given and responded to in a man ner that admits of no doubt that the patent meets the views of the nautical world. The vessel has been built for Josias Booker, Esq., and is intended for the Demerara trade, to bring down sugars to the port of shipment. She is adapted to carry about fifty hogsheads of sugar, which is more then any vessel of her outward dimensions in the West Indies will do. From the beauty of her lines there can be no doubt that she will be a fast sailer. Monday Night. The only drawback to the very encouraging accounts which continue to be received from Manchester, is the doubt entertained by many parties as to the possibility of carrying on an extensive trade at the prices which present appearances warrant us in anticipating ; and we are given to understand, by gentlemen whose practical experience throws theory into the shade, that the only circumstance under which they look for a continuance of prosperity to our cotton manufactures, is a scale of prices for the raw material little differing from that at present current in Liverpool. The following acknowledgment, which we copy from the Economist, is sufficient evidence of the struggle which is being maintained by spinners to keep their heads above water : " Stocks of domestics, T cloths, and longcloths are now so much reduced that some producers of such fabrics are de manding prices that zcill cover cost, which in many cases is a startling advance to buyers, and not likely to be obtained for some little time." On a question of this nature we give our contemporary the credit for speaking the truth, because we look vpon him as being so far the oracle of the Manchester interest, that whenever it is a toss-up between a flourish of trum pets for the triumph of free-trade, or a requiem for de parted profits—in other words, whenever he has to choose either to support the ricketty legs of his free-trade bantling, or to back his friends in their endeavour to keep down the value of cotton, he has latterly taken the last-mentioned course, and so far tacitly admits the truth of arguments so frequently and earnestly put forward by his political op ponents. To. what a state, indeed, must free-trade have brought its supporters, when it requires the advent of a season of exhausted stocks and increased consumption to enable spinners to demand—(which, by the way, may not be acceded to for some time)—remunerative prices. This is a very awkward predicament, and the poor gen tlemen are very much to be pitied ! Speculators and exporters have bought largely of Cotton since Thursday, and the total sales for the three subse quent days have reached to between 50 and 60,000 bales. On Friday there was an extensive demand particularly for good qualities of Bowed and Orleans for export, at kd. advance upon previous prices ; and very extreme rates for all other kinds : the sales were variously estimated at 15 to 20,000. 12,000 of which were taken on speculation and for export. On Saturday the demand was further enlarged, especially by speculators and exporters, and in consequence of the latter having operated so freely prices rose Id. per lb. The business of this day also is estimated variously, ranging from 20 to 25,000 bales, which include 5,000 American for export. 6,000 Brazils (500 export), 3,000 Surats, and 1,000 Egyptian. To-day the advanced rates have been maintained, speculators and exporters still ope rating largely; and the sales amount to 12,000, 7,000 of which are on speculation, 3,000 being Surats, 2,000 Bra zils, and 700 Egyptian. The anxiety felt by all parties connected with the Corn trade during the few days of uncertain weather, which pre ceded the present season of heat and bright sunshine, produced a further improvement in the value of and demand for Wheat and Flour throughout England, Ireland, and Scotland, up to nearly the close of last week, when symptoms of a reaction were observable in some of the provincial markets, and at Mark-lane on Friday, although prices did not sensibly recede, yet the tendency was down wards. The advance established on Wheat for the week is about 2s. per qr. generally in England, and partially in Ireland, Flour realizing a proportionate enhancement, and other articles varying according to local infl uences , with little change worthy of notice, the bias inclining slightly to higher rates. We find that the foreign holder is determined to keep pace with us, all the continental markets of which reports have reached us being steadily on the advance, as will be seen from the following sum mary : Antwerp (10th inst.), 2s per qr. higher; Altona (Bth inst.), Gd to Is per qr. higher; Stettin (Bth inst.), Rostock (7th inst.), Griefswald (7th inst.), And= (7th inst.), Danzig (6th inst.), and Konigsberg (6th inst.), all higher; Stralsund, full rates. Extremely fine weather having prevailed since our last market day (Friday), holders (although evincing a tolera ble degree of firmness) are more willing to meet the buyers, and in the few transactions that have taken place in Wheat, some slight concession upon previous rates was submitted to. Flour, however, being comparatively scarce, fully maintains former prices. In the absence of demand for Indian Corn, this article has further declined Gd per quarter, the top quotation for prime American Corn being now 265. to 265. 6d. per quarter. Transac tions in other articles have been upon the most retail scale, and the prices unvaried. The London market is telegraphed at Is. lower to-day for Wheat.—The arrivals into this port since Monday last, and up to Saturday night, are :—Coastwise, almost nil ; from Ireland, nothing of any consequence; and from abroad comparatively mo derate, the latter consisting merely of 6250 qrs. of Wheat, from Europe, 9663 qrs. of Indian Corn thence and Ame rica, with 765 brls. of States and 1516 sacks of French Flour. On Saturday, a cargo of low Havannah Molasses was sold at 13s. 6d., which is a decline on previous quotations. For Sugar, there has been a steady inquiry since the Cir cular, and 200 hhds. of Barbadoes, and 1,000 bags of Bengal, have been taken at extreme rates. In Rum, there is nothing new, though the market is rather firmer. The Coffee market is decidedly heavy, and in prices there is little chance of any improvement of moment for some time. Tea continues in favour, and as the quantity coming forward will be light, and the export demand con tinues, the trade seem anxious to get into stock. We received on Saturday last an account of the Dutch sales of sugar, which have gone off with spirit, at an advance generally of Is. 6d. per cwt. The London Wool salen have terminated at about the rates current at the commencement, which were consi dered satisfactory : the attendance of buyers throughout was very good, both on home account and for exportation. On Thursday we shall have a sale of low wool, consisting of a cargo of Adelaide and East India. The market is now very bare of all descriptions of wool, and fresh car goes would meet with ready purchasers. Both here and in London, Alpacas are now entirely cleared off; and in Peruvian sheep wools there have been considerable sales, leaving the market very bare. Scotch Pig Iron has maintained its price, at 445. 6d. to 455. for mixed numbers ; 465. to 465. 6d. No. 1 Garts herrie ; although very dull of sale. Bars in Wales barely maintain previous quotations : £4 12s. 6d. in Wales; £5 to £5 2s. 6d. f. o. b. here. At the ironmasters' meet ing just held at Birmingham, it was resolved to make no change in prices for the next quarter. There is more business doing in Wines, principally low priced ports, which are scarce, and business is brisk ; but the move which is expected in port wine makes yet but smelt sign, although, calculating from its scarcity, it is considered merely a question of time as to an improvement in price, which is looked forward to as a certainty. Bran dies continue to be neglected, but the deliveries go on favourably. American Provisions :—The demand for Beef and Pork continues limited. Irish buyers continue to take pretty pretty freely of the low qualifies of Bacon at fully former rates ; and while the better descriptions are not so much sought for, on the whole the market is rather firmer. The Lard market is also firm, at fully previous quotations. A large clearance sale of old Cheese was effected last week at low prices. There has been a fair business in Tallow, the value remaining unchanged. U.S. Prime Mess Beef(new, a.f.),per 30 . 41, 80s. ®Bss. ; Do.

She has a round stern, ornamented with carved foliage, and the crest, a chained swan, and the motto, "Deo non For.. tuna," of the owner, also carved upon it. She is the joint design of the builder and owner, the plans of both gentlemen having been combined to render the vessel as perfect as possible. The chief point of inte rest in this vessel is, that the ordinary frame-work of tim ber has been dispensed with, and in its stead an iron frame has been introduced, covered with the ordinary planking, by which strength and lightness have been combined. The vessel has two kelsons placed at a little distance from each other, and the spaces between the iron framing of the ship and kelsons are filled with as phalte, which will serve for ballast, prevent leakage and corrosion, and acts as chocks between the framings. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE. — At the recent meeting of this Society, the standing com mittee gave notice of their intention to recommend the following grants :—The sum of £3,000 to the Bishop of Totonto towards securing the endowment of a college of a permanent character in connection with the Church in this diocese; £l,OOO towards the endowmentof a Bishopric in New Zealand ; and several smaller sums, :with books, &c., for new Churches in Canada, and elsewhere. Ace [DENT, YESTERDAY.—AMOng the passengers on one of the omnibuses which ply along the docks, yes terday morning, was a Mr. Callin, a butcher, residing at Southport. Some repairs are in progress in the Waterloo road, which require the tearing up of the roadway. The omnibus approached very near this trench, apparently so near as to alarm Mr. Callin, who, imagining himself to be in danger, sprang from his seat. In his descent, he fell beneath the wheels, which passed over one of his legs, which in consequence sustained a fracture, of which in jury Mr. Celia is at present confined in the Northern Hospital. On Tuesday a boat was upset near Douglas Harbour, during a squall, and two men were unfortunately drowned. The churchwardens of Bures, St. Mary's, Suffolk, have contradicted the statement that the church bells had rung a merry, peel on the occasion of Sir Robert Peel's death. It is stated that the Hon. and Rev. George Talbot has been summoned to Rome on the express invitation of the pope, with a view to his appointment to a place of high trust near to the person of his holiness. PRESENTATION.—The congregation of St Clement's Church, Windsor, have just presented two sets of robes to their excellent pastor, the Rev. F. Parry. The rev. gentleman has returned a grateful answer to the church. wardens, which is about to be circulated amongst the subscribers. WALLASEY COMMISSIONERS.—ConsiderabIe attention is attracted at Seacombe, Wallasey, &c., to the election of nine gentlemen on Thursday to act as commissioners for Wallasey. Two lists have been circulated among the ratepayers, and the promoters of both are very active in promoting the election of their friends. FATAL ACCIDENT. —On Saturday, a child, whose parents reside in a court in High-street, Edge-Lill, and whose name is Sparks, while playing near its house fell down a well which had bad been left uncovered. Some time elapsed before tne child was discovered, and then medical assistance was of no avail. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—A special meeting of the council was held yesterday, at which Mr. William Gard ner was elected a director, in the place of Mr. H. Shol terfoht, resigned. The motion by Mr. Macfie, suggesting that the advantages possessed by this port, as a station for the West India and Brazilian mails be brought under the notice of her Majesty's government, was referred to a special committee, to collect information towards that end. The resolution, passed at the late general meeting, on the stamp duties, and the new bye-laws and rates for dock porterage, were also referred to special committees. Akoromunication from Mr. C. D. Hayes, on the subject of steam navigation to Australia, via the Cape of Good Hope. was received, and the further consideration of the subject was deferred, in order that full information on the matter might be obtained. The consideration of a reply from the treasury to a memorial relative to the postal arrangements of the London and Scotch mails was also deferred for further information, preparatory to a renewal of the prayer of the memorial. Several other communi cations, not of public interest, were also read. The ap pointment of Mr. Robert Trott= as secretary waa con &med. BREES'S PANORAMA.—Mr. S. C. Brees, C.E., late principal engineer to the New Zealand Company, is now exhibiting in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, a pictorial illustration of the colony of New Zealand. This stupendous painting pourtrays not only all the natural features of that illustrious region, but it exhibits also the social habits of the settlers so accurately, that it becomes a question whether an actual visit to the colony would afford more advantages of acquiring information relative to its social economy. The painting has been undertaken especially with a view to accuracy, the perfection of art being of secondary consideration. In pursuance of this object the peculiar characteristics of this genial clime pass before the eye of the spectator as vividly as though he were a traveller on the unexplored heights and through the untrodden vales of the shadowy land he sees flitting by. But perhaps the most interesting objects, at least to the future emigrant, are those points which have during the last few years been converted from the barren plain or wilderness to the populous town. The town of Well ington, in this part;cular, stands pre-eminent, depicting the unexpected phenomenon of Saxon tastes and Saxon manners at the antipodes of England. Church, cottage, and mansion meet the eye, and differing little in charac ter from similar edifices in the rural districts of the father land, they astonish the English observer. The happy and independent bearing of the imaginary occupants of the said structure almost beget a feeling of envy and foster an incipient resoluition to cast himself amongst the ad venturers who Irtre so daringly tempted fortune on these distai.t shores. We venture to assert that young persons will acquire more practical information relative to the colony from visiting Mr. Brees's exhibition than could be gained from mere written sources, after a long course of painful study. RAILWAY SQUABBLES. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) For sottid time past discussions have been going on between the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company and the London and North-Western Company, on behalf of the Stour Valley Railway, which they have leased, as to the right of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company to form a connexion at the joint station at Wolverhampton with the Birmingham Canal. The Shrewsbury and Bir mingham assert that such a connexion is necessary for the convenience of the public and for the due conduct of their business, as they have at present no access to Birmingham by railway. After some Preliminary skirmishing, it became obvious, on Friday last, that a serious collision of the rival compa nies was likely to ensue. The Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company having been, it is said, obstructed on that day in forming a temporary connexion with the canal within the station limits, determined to persist on the following morning in completing the necessary work and carrying on their business. The London and North-Western men mustered in great strength, there having been collected 600 or 700 of the " navvies" employed in the construction of the Stour Valley line. About twelve o'clock, a train, containing 30 or 40 waggons of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, loaded with materials which were intended to be conveyed by the canal, were brought down along the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line, accompanied by a body of workmen, for the purpose of transhipping into the canal boats. They commenced to lay down planking for that purpose, but it was immediately torn up by the London and North- Western men, upsetting a number of people, and breaking one man's leg. At this stage of the proceedings, the Mayor of Wolverhampton, accompanied by the consta bulary and military, made their appearance. The riot act was read, and the mob ordered to disperse. The Mayor stated aloud, that finding the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company in possession of the station, and they being the only company now using it for the pur poses of traffic, the police and military would protect them while conducting their business, and that he would appre hend any person attempting to obstruct them. The planking was immediately laid down, under the protection of the military, and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company proceeded to tranship the materials from the railway waggons into the canal boats without further interruption. At this stage of affairs, however, the London and North-Western men were ordered to take their places in a set of contractor's waggons, (which had been brought by an engine to the spot,) as it was believed, for the purpose of removing them altogether. Having taken their places, the waggons were pushed several hundred yards in the direction of Shrewsbury, when the mni jumped out, upset the waggons, turning them upside down, being scattered over both the up and down line of the Shrews bury and Birmingham Railway so as to completely obstruct the main line of that company ; there was a passenger train about to start at the time, and another one due. The London and North-Western men were imme. diately charged by the police with their drawn swords, and the military advanced with fixed bayonets. The rioters being at first violent and stubborn, the police had to use their swords ; several wounds were inflicted, and it is thought one will prove rather serious. They were at last driven from the ground, and, under the protection of the authorities, the waggons were cleared off, and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham trains were enabled to pass without further obstruction. A number of the leading and most active of the rioters were apprehended, and are immediately to be brought before the :magistrates. This case seems to be somewhat similar to what has taken place at the Chester Station, the disputes in both cases being between the same parties. A meeting, convened by the Mayor, was held in Preston last night, to consider the propriety of erecting in that town a monument to the memory of the late Sir Robert Pcel. THE FINE ARTS.—The admirers of the classical pro ductions of Italian art will be delighted with the oppor tunity about to be afforded to them of competing for the possession of some of the most recherche specimens of ornamental sculpture extant. It will be seen in another part of our paper that selection has been made from the most celebrated antiques, and that the finest models have been consulted in order to gratify the improved taste which is rapidly developing itself in this department of classical investigation. EXTENSIVE AUCTION OF THE SPITAL ESTATE.— Yesterday this property, consisting of about 193 acres of land, the property of W. Jackson, Esq., M.P., adjoining upon Bromborough Pool, and a portion of it laid out for ornamental buildings, was offered for sale by Messrs. Winstanley, at the Monks' Ferry Hotel, Woodside. The attendance was very scanty. The whole lot was put up in the first instance, but the biddings only reaching £6.500, it was withdrawn at the reserve of £19,300, or £lOO per acre. Two small lots were offered for which there was no bid ; and the auctioneers having announced that Mr. Jackson would remain for a while to treat with private buyers, the bulk of the company withdrew. It is stated that this estate cost Mr. Jackson £21,000. NEW SCHOOLS, TRANMERE.—A strenuous effort is at present making for the erection of National Schools in Limekiln-lane, Tranmere. It appears that the want of such an institution in the district is severely felt, as there are not less than 300 children wandering about, whose parents are unable to find the means of educating them. We sincerly hope that the appeal of the promoters of this most laudable undertaking will meet with a liberal and speedy response, more especially as they propose to make the building suitable for a place of worship, until a church, which is much wanted, can be built. An eligible site near to the Railway station has been presented by George Orred, Esq., the Lord of the Manor, and Mr. Barry, architect of this town, has furnished the plans, &c., gratuitously. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Last week was truly one which will be remembered with gratification by the fre quenters of these gardens. The Scottish fete attracted on each evening large and delighted companies by their per fect originality so far as this locality is concerned, the ro mantic reminiscences they excited, and the fact that the eyes of Royalty had so recently gazed upon and approved the parties engaged. We learn that it is the intention of Mr. Atkins to make this a yearly entertainment, and in doing so to present it on a more extended scale. For next week a very rich programme is provided, including the performances of the best of all bands—that of Mons. Jullien, who is engaged to appear at Bir mingham Royal Vauxhall Gardens, on Thursday, July 25 ; at Liverpool Zoological Gardens, Friday, July 26 ' • and Bellevue Gardens, Manchest er , on Saturday, 27th July, 1850. We beg to refer our readers to the ad vertisement, which we have received at a late hour, but are informed that it is avery rich bill. IMPORTANT TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. — A mea sure has been brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Newdegate, Mr. R. Spooner, and Mr. C. B. Adder ley, to provide medical assistance in cases of accidents on railways. The preamble of the bill recites, that an action is not now maintainable against a railway com pany by a surgeon called in by the servant of a railway company to render assistance to a passenger who has been accidentally injured, although it is expedient that oftentimes the company, in such case, should be answer able for the services of the surgeon called in. It then proposes to enact that the servants of the railway compa nies may call in surgeons in cases of accident, the acts of the servant to bind the railway company until notice is given to the medical attendant to the contrary. A rail way company may recover expenses from other railway companies in fault; and in case of a pauper passenger the company is to have a legal right to recover from the over seers of the parish in which the accident happened. The act, it is proposed, shall be fixed on a board at every sta tion along the railways. THE TRACTARIANS.—We regret to find that not even four legal decisions in succession can quiet tha restless spirits which have been raised by " the Gorham contro versy," but that the dull and heavy season of the dog days is to be at once enlivened and yet rendered more intolerable by a " great meeting on the Gorham case," to be held in Long-acre some time next week We might wonder at the pertinacity and apparent useless ness of this continued warfare, were it not explained by the unguarded exclamation of a western archdeacon, cre dibly reported to us—" We will never rest until we get these Evangelicals out of. the Church !" Such language brings to mind a well-known sentence of Dr. Johnson's— " It would be impossible were it attempted, and it would be foolish if it were possible." Never, from its first foundation, has the Church of England been without two parties within its pale. Their existence seems almost as natural and as necessary as that of Whigs and Tories in parliament; and the idea of exterminating or excluding either, seems nearly as foolish as it would be to resolve, that the House of Commons should in future consist wholly of men of one political creed.—Morning Herald. THE IRON TRADE.—The late quarterly meetings have been very well attended, and have resulted in a light amount of business done at fair average prices. Notwith standing the threatened determination to insist upon lower rates, the day was passed at Wolverhampton on Wednesday with much spirit, and a successful effort was made, particularly among the pigsellers, to recover lost ground. On Thursday, in our Town-hall, though a little flatness was again apparent, from a partial absence of the usual wholesale orders of large dealers, numbers of buyers were in attendance, anxious, if possible, 'to avail themselves of the slightest disposition that might have been shown to giving way ; but when it became known that the Shropshire trade had found no difficulty in holding their position, and that they had resolved to maintain the prices of the previous quarter, a still firmer tone was encouraged, and but little underselling was re sorted to. The nailmongers, and consumers of rods, chain, and other hardware iron, who had been loudly cla mouring for a reduction, went home generally disap pointed, and orders were doubtless withheld, because the prices attainable for manufactured goods would not admit of their being given. We are also sorry to hear that the settlement of the accounts was scarcely so satis factorily transacted as usual. On Saturday evening a con siderable arrear of business was wound up at Dudley, without any advantages being obtained by purchasers from the delay. On the whole, it must be acknowledged that trade generally exhibits more healthy symptoms. Furnaces continue to be put out of blast, and the work of mills and forges is further restricted, so that the quantity extend their I t n he t i h r emeantime , makers upon connections of iron produced is gradually be comin g more e q ualis ed to market, rms.
