LIVERPOOL HISTORIC SOCIE PY. The only Society in the town which has published a Sir Robert Clifton has contradicted the report that he is about to return to the turf. Mr. Jaques's Crosslanes, two years old, has arrived at Smith's stables, Newmarket. SATURDAY CONCERTS.—On Saturday, Mr. George Buckland took the duty upon him of entertaining the audiences at the Concert-hall, and was rewarded by repeated cheering. The MARIONETTES have resumed their performances in London, and are located at the St. James's Theatre. THE ORGANOPHONIC BAND, whose extraordinary mode of imitating musical instruments with the human voice excited so much attention, have been again exhibit ing their wonderful powers in Liverpool and Birkenhead, where they have attracted large audiences. THE LIVERPOOL CHARITIES. - Our readers should not forget that the grand performance of the Messiah, to be given by the members of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society, will take place on Tuesday next, in aid of the funds of the Liverpool Royal Infirmary, the Northern Hospital, and the Southern and Toxteth Hospital. The principal vocalists will be Miss Stott, Miss Parsons, Mr. Miranda, and Mr. Armstrong ; and the performance will be under the patronage of the Earl of Sefton, Messrs. W. Brown, M.P., C. Turner, M.P., W. F. Mackenzie, M.P., and the mayor of Liverpool, Mr. S. Holme. We have no doubt that there will be a large and brilliant assemblage. CLASSICAL CONCERTS.—On Thursday Mr. E. W. Thomas gave his third concert to a full and fashionable audience, in spite of the threatening state of the weather. It was very well received, and appeared to give great satisfaction. The fourth concert will take place on Thurs day, next week; Sterndaie Bennett at the piano-forte, with a sonata of his own composition, and a quartett, by C. E. Horsley, composed expressly for these concerts. A Isluw TENOR.—Mr. Henry Haigh, a tenor singer of very superior power and sweetness of voice, has made his debut at the Dublin Theatre, where he has created quite a sensation, The Dublin Evening Post, in speaking of him, says :—" Mr Henry Haigh, whose success was so unequivocal, and, we will add, so richly deserved, that Sims Reeves, as the English tenor, has good reason to take care of his laurels ; with a pleasing personal appear ance and gentlemanly bearing, Mr. Haigh possesses a pure tenor voice of considerable compass, flexibility, and sweet ness ; his management of the falsetto being always judici ous and telling, and his chest notes being round, fresh, and sonorous. He was enthusiastically encored in the principal airs, and we do not remember a first appearance here more flattering in every respect. We understand he is permanently engaged, and congratulate Mr. Harris on the acquisition lie is sure to prove. Indeed we are justi fied in auguring for Mr. Haigh a very brilliant career." THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 185/. in Petersburg Y.C. Tallow took place at 465. 6d. to 48s'., but chiefly at about 475. ; about 150 pipes South American sold at 455. to 485., and some Australian beef at 465. 6d. per cwt. ; there has since been less doing.—During the week 1500 bales Jute have been sold, at .els 10s. for low middling, to 116125. 6d. for good. At the sales to-day Iss. advance upon these prices was bid, but the owners declining to sell under 305., only a small lot of very fine was taken at 120 per ton.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA AMPHITHEATRE.—The whole of last week was devoted to benefits, but the performances this week have com menced with the engagement of Mr. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam. PARK THEATRE. — The performances last night were for the benefit of Mr. Edgar, the proprietor, whose exer tions for the public amusement were rewarded with a good TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS At the monthly meeting, on Wednesday, the Mayor, Mr. S. HoieuE, in the chair, a letter from the master pilots' committee, read in the minutes of the Finance Committee, recommended that moorings be placed in the river for the accommodation of emigrant-ships. The letter was referred to the water-bailiff. Mr. BIGHAM asked whether the Newsham-house estate had been leased for five years. The MAYOR replied that he was not a mare that it had. The proceedings were confirmed. The proceedings of the Watch and Lighting Committee having been read, Mr. Alderman PARKER called the attention of the Council to the rather hurried manner in which they had acted relative to the erection of three additional bridewells. This would be attended with an enormous expense. He should, therefore, give notice for the next Council that there be two, instead of three, bridewells erected. Mr. BIGHAM said that there had been no reason given or shown for so hasty an expenditure of £150,000, the sum estimated for building the additional bridewells, and £7,000 a-year, the expenses attendant on them. Mr. GLADSTONE expressed himself favourable to a delay in carrying out the order of the Council. He asked whether the Watch Committee, directly or in directly. sanctioned the practice of police-officers not only going in plain clothes to public-houses and beer. houses, to lay informations for Sunday trading, but whether they countenanced the practice of the publicans being tested by the officers to see if they would sell liquor con trary to law. Mr. BRADLEY observed that Mr. Gladstone had anticipated him by his question. He thought such a practice highly derogatory and pernicious. He cited the case of a beerhouse-keeper to show the great hardship, by incurring heavy expenses, arising out of this system. Mr. AvisoN advocated the system on the ground of expediency. Mr. TOBIN, the chairman of the committee, replied. He denied that the officers were instructed to tempt publicans to violate the law, and said no such case had ever been proved. It having been stated to the committee that there were some 300 or 400 houses carrying on an extensive system of illegal trading, the officers had been instructed to go out in plain clothes with the view of detecting the offenders. There were very few cases in which members of the Licensed Victuallers' Association had been sum moned for violations of the law, and in most cases where they had been summoned the charges had been dismissed. After the proceedings of the Dock Committee bad been read, the Mayor said he had received a letter from Mr. Dover tendering his resignation as a member of the Dock Committee, and it would, therefore, be necessary for the Council to fill up the vacancy, either at the next monthly meeting or at a special meeting called for the purpose.— Mr. BIGHAM said that in effect the Dock Committee had been one member short for many months previously, for Mr. Dover had not attended for the last nine months. He (Mr Bigham) would, therefore, should it be thought neces sary, move a special Council on the subject.—The Mayor said, if a requisition was made to him to that effect, he would comply with it. The proceedings were then con firmed without discussion. . _ A long conversation, arising out of the proceedings of the Health Committee, took place on the withholding a copy of the new Sanitary Bill from the Council. It was explained that the details rendered it advisable to take the opinion of the Town-clerk upon the legal technical points, and the opinions of practical men upon matters affecting buildings, &c. The bill then to be printed for the Council. The proceedings were confirmed without discussion. A power of attorney was given to the Town-clerk, authorising him to enter into agreements, on the part of the Corporation with mortgagees, for the continuance of all taxes at reduced rates of interest. The use of the Town-hall was granted for the Ladies' Charity and Licensed Victualler? balls. The proceedings of the Health-committee having been read, Mr. BENNETT complained of the meagreness of the information furnished to the Council relative to the pro - gress of gigantic works which were involving an outlay of X 700,000 or £BOO,OOO. Mr. HOLT, the chairman, ex plained that the contracts were being carried out under the direction of the principal and resident engineers. Nothing, he thought, could be more injurious than the committee to interfere with the working out of their con tracts. The committee kept nothing back from the Council, having nothing to reserve. The proceedings were confirmed. _ . . In moving the cpnfirmation of the proceedings of the Library and Museum Committee, Mr. Pic roN entered into interesting particulars, showing that the library was duly appreciated by that class of the community for whom it Was principally intended. The committee were, he said, 'thinking of adopting some scheme for extending the use fulness of the library and museum, and of procuring a suitable building in a suitable locality of the town for the Purpose. The committee proposed, in reference to a request for the loan of the model of Liverpool for the approaching exhibition at New York, that it be granted after it should have been open for the inspection of the Liverpool public for six months.—The proceedings were Confirmed. HAnmooD BANNER brought forward his motion, that the public charities of the town be supplied with rater by the Corporation gratuitously, from the Ist of January next, and urged his reasons for doing so. The charities included the Infirmary, the North and South ,dospitals, the North, South and East Dispensaries, the , - ulind Asylum, the Roman Catholic Blind Asylum, the Deaf and Dumb Institution, the Eye and Ear Institution, t he Female Orphan Asylum, the Roman Catholic Orphan 4 . 1 . 1 Y1um. the Penitentiary, the Ladies' Charity, and the Council, The TOWN-CLERK instructed the ' - ouncil, they were mere trustees, and could not legally supply water free of charge. The Council then adjourned. COMPlRlSON. — Australian papers of June 12 an nounce in one breath the resignation of Lord John Rus sell, first lord of the treasury, and of John Gill, the Pound-keeper of Armidale ! ELOPEMENT.—The Wexford Independent of Wednes day says :—" A circumstance of a ver y di s t ress i ng na t ure bas just occurred in the western part of this county. A gentleman of large income has suddenly disappeared with lady's waiting-maid." PERSECUTION AT FLORENCE.—On Saturday a deputa tion waited on Mr. Secretary Walpole, at the Home °face, with a memorial to her Majesty on the subject of Florence ersecution for religious opinions now carried on al , s . The deputation consisted of the Earl of Shaftes "4l7, Colonel Alexander, Wilbraham Taylor, Esq., Capt. 9iberne, J. Meadows White, Esq., T. R. Wheatley, Esq., • B• Seeley, Esq., and J. MacGregor, Esq. The ~mem orial was signed by the Dukes of Sutherland and Argyll, • Marquis of Cholmondely, the Earls of Winchilsea, _,• c orteseue, Ducie, Shaftesbury, Dartmouth, Roden, Wal t"grave, Cavan, Bandon, Darnley, Donoughmore, Meath, ienesley, Clancarty, and Carnworth ; Lords Stopford, unlo, Lorton, Bangor, Bernard, Monck, Calthorpe, ttu furley, De Saumarez, Hatherton, Clanrnorris, Downes, Ma ssy, Moreton, Claude Hamilton, T.

Mr. Walpole received the de etation most courteously, and promised to lay the ad- P ees before her Majesty immediately. 4 BRIDE'S IDLE HOURS. — We should think a lady ti!ver had but two dresses in her life before marriage, by i n e gaantity purchased and made for the bridal. This 4..tindation of dresses is a custom as fixed and unalterable Oat which insists on every stich in the whole trousseau 4 p l rt set, leaving the poor bride nothing but folded bands is succeeded the wedding-day is over. The hurry of six months to su cceeded by an appa lli ng ca l m ; ther e is not even th e 2 of a cap or handkerchief to be sewn on, or any apron hemmed ; and listless ennui threatens the bride of a teo u h e ,i_ he sitC"'• - We have lately beard of one, who was discovered i a , t ig on the carpet of her elegantly furnished apartment b e rng solitaire, the cards spread out upon an ottoman t i _u s re her. What a picture—the husband gone to busi -11 , the wife tired of the piano, too heedless for reading, th e w ith an pe empty work-basket ! There is nothing like t d to tranquillise the mind and raise the spirits, if " ch moderately. volume of transactions for the past session alone, or which pretends to issue an annual volume, is this Society ; and the one for 1851-52 is before us. It is a beautiful Bvo., of 236 pages in all, including the lists of plates, members, &c., and an index of twelve pages in double columns. The papers and communications, large and small, are by nineteen different persons ; but Sir Edward Cust's con sisted of documents forwarded for exhibition, Mr. Board man's is a letter explanatory, and Mr. Brooke's are seve ral minor miscellaneous communications. The papers also of the Rev. Thos. Moore and Mr. Gawthrop have been much abridged, with the consent of these gentle men, and two others partially so; thus there are only fif teen formal papers, by fourteen gentlemen, printed. Of these, seven are beautifully illustrated ; and there are illustrations also of several of the articles that were merely exbibitcd a t, the meetings. The first paper in the volume is by Mr. Mayer, on the alleged royal visits to Liverpool, suggested, it is said, by a personal inquiry of Colonel Phipps, whether the inscrip- tion on the box was right which called our Queen's " the first" royal visit. Mr. Mayer has vindicated his view by several documents, and by the historic probabilities of the case. This paper is illustrated by four beautiful wood engravings of scenes in Cheshire; it has also a print of the boxes, containing the royal address, from the drawing on the stone, which the society requested Mr. Mayer to lend for the purpose. Dr. Kendrick's paper on the siege of Warrington is illustrated by four etchings, and contains several docu.. ments. At the first day meeting, on the 15th of April, this paper was selected as a suitable specimen of the society's intellectual materiel, to be recapitulated in its principalpoints. Mr. Rimmer's paper on Samlesbury-hall is illustratel by two tinted plates from drawings by himself. A long and interesting paper, by Mr. Harland, of Man chester, on the grant of Free Warren to Thomas Gresley, sixth baron of Manchester, is accompanied by a shorter one by Dr. Hume, describing a frescoe painting lately discovered in Gawsworth Church. It represents the judgment scene, in which one catches a glimpse of heaven, earth, and hell, as they were understood in medieval times. This paper ought to have been accompanied by an illustration, but as the rector of the parish is publishing enlarged ones to assist in the repairs of the church, the society did not wish to interfere with their sale. Mr. Stonehouse's paper on Everton brings us home again, and gives us a great deal of pleasant detail, some of which we did not know, and much of which we had forgotten. It is illustrated by two spirited etchings from original drawings by Mr. Herdman ; and is accompanied by an abridged memoir on Southport, by Mr. Gawthrop, of Birkenhead. One of the most curious papers in the volume—curious both in subject and illustration—is an account of a Lan cashire Charm, by Mr. Harland. It is written in cipher, which is a sort of mongrel Greek, with capricious symbols ; the whole of which were deciphered by the late Mr. Garnett, of the British Museum. The illustration is a fac simile, showing the manner in which the original had been folded, coloured, injured, &c. The paper which accompanies this is by Mr. W. W. Mortimer, the his torian of the Hundred of Wirrall, on the Norman earls of Chester. At the next meeting, a paper was read by the Rev. William Thornber, of Blackpool, on the traces of the Britons, Danes, and Saxons, is the foreland of the Fylde. This is accompanied by several minor communications, among them an extract from Mr. Boardman's letter. The latter is illustrated again by a fac-simile of the very agree ment between Nelson and the Messrs. Woodhouse, much of it being in the autograph of the hero. We are next presented with two papers, one by the late Mr. Just, on the Danes in Lancashire, more special in its details than the general treatise of Worsaae on the same subject. The other is by Mr. Dawes, of Westbrooke, Bolton, on the discovery of certain primeval burying places near that town. It is elegantly illustrated, from some drawings by the antiquary Sir Henry Dryden, Bart. Among the articles exhibited at this meeting was the wolf tankard, of which a beautiful folding plate is given, of the full size of the original. The last meeting of the session, held by day in the Royal Institution, was the richest of all, both from the papers read and the vast number and interest of the arti cles exhibited. Three of them are illustrated, and of the three papers read,—Dr. Thom on Liverpool churches, Mr. Hibbert on Cheshire documents, and Mr. Middleton on West Kirkby church,—the last is illustrated by four beautiful plates. Dr. Thom's is a long and interesting paper, embodying a vast number of local and per. sonal facts ; and it is worthy of remark, that a dissent ing minister, writing on English churches and English clergymen, has glanced slightly at those subjects only on which scandal delights to fasten. As a whole, the volume is extremely creditable to the gentlemen who have superintended its production ; and we trust it will stimulate some of the other societies to do something similar., ROYAL DINNER HOURS.—Kings and queens generally set the hour of dining in the countries they govern. It is whispered that the Queen of Great Britain dines with her children at two o'clock, and that the state dinner at eight is a mere pageant. Louis Philippe dined generally at se ven. The Queen of Spain dines. or used to dine, at five ; the Sultan at sunset : the late King of Sardinia dined at three : the Emperor of Russia eats when he is hungry— the state dinners are between five and six ; the Emperor of Austria dines at five; the King of Prussia at three ; the King of Sweden at five. The hour of five seems to be the most general, as it is the most convenient. On the con tinent, especially, as every one goes to the theatre, which opens at seven—a later hour than five would interfere with the projects for the evening. THE DAMP UMBRELLA.-A man named Couscoussou was tried last week, by the Paris Tribunal of Correctional Police, for having beaten Madame Couscoussou his wife. " It appears that you thrashed her with great brutality ; what have you got to say for yourself ?" asked the Presi dent. " Pray, Mr. President, if your wife wouldn't let you carry an umbrella, what would you do ?" " Oh, the monster ! oh. the brigand !" chimed in Madame Coucous sou. " What he says there is not true, Mr. President. He was drunk when he beat me." " Who doesn't get drunk now and then ?" asked M. Couscoussou. " But you get drunk always," answered the wife. " And, M r . President, when he' s drunk he insists on going to bed with his boots on, and with his umbrella ; that is his cha racter." "I wear my boots in bed to keep my feet warm," observed the accused. " I don't so much object," said the wife, to the boots, though they dirty and tear the sheets. But Ido object to the umbrella. Think of a wet umbrella in bed, Mr. President !" "Itis in the wet ness of the umbrella," related the husband, " that I find my excuse. A prudent man is never without his umbrel la when it rains : and, as it was raining when I arrived home and went to bed, I took it with me !" " Oh, you drunkard 1" shrieked Madame Couscoussou. " But I ap peal to all women here present," she continued, turning round to the auditory, " if it be pleasant to be in bed with a damp umbrella ?" "It was raining, I tell you, and I was afraid that I might have dreamt that I was getting wet, and, as I have a great antipathy to water, I took the um brella with me as a precaution !" " Yes, and you beat me when I wanted to remove it from the bed." The tri bunal cut this discussion short by condemning M. Cons coussou to two days' imprisonment. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER.—In this market, since Tuesday, there has been an increased demand generally. Buyers who previously held back the orders they had to execute have brought them into the market pretty freely, the more especially as they have not been met by any exorbitant demand of higher prices. For Yarn the demand has improved, and the extremely low prices, and much of the irregularity which was previously noticeable, has disappeared. Inquiries have been more general both for India and the continental markets, and prices which would have been accepted before in the instances where the greatest depression prevailed, are not within id. to id. of what would now be accepted. Yarns for home manufacture are also bet ter, but prices that were quoted in the heat of Tuesday's excitement are not now asked. The market has been decidedly better throughout the week. In goods there is less disposition to accept low prices, manufacturers being desirous to await the result of the next arrivals before entering into protracted en gagements. As in Yarns, much of the irregularity that existed has disappeared, and for some descriptions higher prices have been obtained. RocnnALE.—We have had a sluggish market, with prices little different from those previously ruling. There has been a fair demand for wool, and good prices obtained. Broke wools are scarce, and in good demand. MACCLESFIELD.—We have little further progress to report in sales of manufactured goods. The piece trade is also slacker than it was. LEEDS.—The market for woollen cloths have been mode.. rately active, considering the season of the year. The ship ping houses are stirring for the spring trade, and the houses in the home trade are assorting stocks and doing a fair season able business. Stocks continue low and prices firm. NOTTENGHAM.—Most branches of the Lace trade are dull, as is usually the case at this period of the year ; and, with few exceptions, little inquiry is made for our goods. Americans still continue to purchase a few things, and silk Laces meet a fair demand in the home trade. For Hosiery goods there is a brisk trade, in nearly every department, consequently full em ployment for all hands. The price of Yarn remains unaltered. LIVERPOOL GENERAL PRODUCE MARKET, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3 The demand for all descriptions of Sugar has been very limited during the past week, and the sales do not exceed 250 hhds. 8.P., 2,000 bags Bengal, and 3,700 bags Mauritius ; the latter from 365. to 365. 6d. to the grocers, and without any material change from former rates. The export demand for Foreign has ceased for the season, but refiners continue buyers, and have taken 2,800 mats clayed Manilla at 18s., and 70 cases brown Bahia from 16s. 6d. to 18s. per cwt. in bond.—Molasses are extremely scarce, importers having sold on arrival.—The business of the week in Coffee is confined to 50 tcs. Jamaica, at 38s. to 128 s. for ordinary to fine, and 400 bags Rio at 345. to 455. per cwt.-600 bags Malabar Pepper have realised 3id. to 3id. per lb., and 50 bags Para Cocoa have obtained 265. per cwt.-4,000 bags Arracan Rice have been disposed of at 10s. 3d., being an advance of 3d. per cwt., and small parcels of Madras and Bengal at previous prices. —There is a brisk de mand for Rum, and 290 puns. Demerara and 100 puns. Jamaica have been sold at an advance of Id. to 2d. per gallon; the quo tations are raised accordingly.—A fair business has been trans acted throughout the week in most descriptions of black and green Tea, at full previous rates, but little done on speculation. —At a public sale of 48 serons Guatimala and 6 serons of Caraccas Indigo, held on Wednesday, the whole sold at very full prices, ranging from 3s. 6d. to 4s, 9d.—The public sales of Hides on Tuesday were dull, and only. a small portion found buyers.—ln the early part.of the week some la►ge transactions Mr. Thomas Dawson has sold to the French Govern ment Woldsman, (late Scarborough,) for a stallion. Mr. John Shepherd has sold his stallion Velox, (Bro ther to Winesour,) by Velocipede, to go abroad. The steeple-chase horse Emperor was so severely in jured at Crewe that he had to be deetroyed. Mr. W. Cuthbert's yearling filly by Hetman Platoff, out of Queen of the Tyne, died last week, from having ruptured a blood-vessel in the head. Mr. John Andrew, of Saltburn, in Cleveland, has pur chased Hippolytus from Lord Eglinton, and intends to put him to the stud. The Coventry Spring Meeting, in order not to clash with Doncaster, has been fixed for the 22d of February. At a meeting of the York Race Committee, on Monday, it was determined to give 500 soya. to be run for at the next Spring Meeting. There are already 82 subscribers to the Chester Trades men's Cup : a much larger number than usual up to this period. The names comprise most of the aristocratic and leading patrons of the turf. The entry for the next Liverpool Tradesmen's Cup will not take place until the let March, for the 'Mersey and Stanley Stakes on the Ist April, and for the Bentinck Testimonial on the Ist of June ; these stakes have hitherto closed on the Ist of January. The Liverpool Spring Meeting is fixed to take place on the 2d March, under the stewardship of the Earl of Sefton, the Marquis of Waterford, and G. Payne, Esq. The popularity of the Grand National Steeple-chase always secures a large entry of the first horses of the day. The attractions of this meeting are further enhanced by several flat and hurdle races. The Liverpool Hunt Steeple-chase is announced for the 9th April next, and the Spring Race Meeting for the 11th and 12th May. In addition to the ordinary races of the club, there will be two open races, one to be run on each day. Considerable improvements have been made in the course itself, and the arrangements of the Grand Stand will be also still more complete and satisfactory. The following horses, the property of Mr. Osbaldeston, have arrived at Mr. G. Drewe's stables, Ilsley :—Fugle man ; a bay yearling colt by Touchstone, out of Camp follower; bay yearling colt, by Touchstone, out of Mus covite; and a bay yearling filly, by Touchstone. It is reported that they will be under the care of Warrener, Mr. Osbaldeston's former trainer. THE CHARITIES.

The advices per steamer on Tuesday morning of a frost having occurred on the 15th ultimo in a large section of the cotton district imparted additional strength to the market, and a slight improvement was obtained, making the advance since Friday id. in the common and middling, and id. in the better kinds. In Brazil and Egyptian a fair business has been done, at the full rates of last week, whilst Surat has been in good request, but the market being fairly supplied, prices have been irregular, and barely realised Friday's quotations. Speculators have trken 10,990 American, 20 Pernam, 1300 Egyptian, and 4500 Surat ; and there are reported for export 890 American and 1030 Surat.

This day's market was tolerably well attended. An advance of Id. to 2d. upon the annexed currency was realised for all descriptions of Wheat, but the millers did not purchase very freely; we have, however, a continued sale for Ireland to some extent, and a tolerable speculative inquiry, which makes the aggregate transactions up to a fair amount. We experience again to-day an excited inquiry for Flour, for which many holders are now requiring extravagant rates, which checks a further large extent of business; still a good deal has been done at an improvement of Is. to Is. 6d. per brl. upon Tues day's rates. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas are steady, but without any particular activity. Oats and Oatmeal, on the spot, likewise fully support our late prices, but are rather slow of sale than otherwise; in the latter article, however, upwards of 30,000 loads have been sold for arrival at 235. 9d. to 245. 3d. per 2401b5., cost, freight, and insurance according to the period of shipment. Indian Corn In store is steady in value; floating cargoes are more in request, few offering, and prices, if any thing, rather tending against buyers. The subjoined are Tuesday's quotations : BRITISH.
