ROBINSON respectfully informs his Pupils and the Public that, in consideration of their taking LESSONS at his own RESIDENCE, he will in future make a Reduction in his Terms, by giving Twenty-four Lessons to the Quarter, instead of Tv;enty-one, as formerly. Gentlemen can receive Lessons in the Mornings or Even ings' as may be most convenient to them. No. 2, PERCY-STREET, (ONE DOOR FROM CANNING-STREET.) MULBERRY -STREET SCHOOL, ABERCROMBIE-SQUARE. Conducted by Mr. JAMES HICKIE (Author of a Key to Hutton's Course of Mathematics) and Mr. HENRY JOHNS, both well known in. Liverpool as successful Teachers. This School has, since its opening, continued to increase in numbers, as well as gain in character. The system adopted at the outset, and since steadily adhered to, was to impart a sound Scientific and Commercial Educa tion, not by seeking to accomplish great things, but by con scientiously endeavouring to do all that is really practicable, well. That this object has been attained may be best inferred from the subjoined notes, emanating from parents of Pupils at present in the School : to these might be added (if conve nient in an advertisement) a long list of references to parents wno have expressed their satisfaction at the progress which their sons have made, and are making, in this establishment. 'Birkenhead, Cheshire, Nov. 14,1854. Dear Sirs,—My son has been under your instruction for nearly two years, and I feel it only due to you to say how highly I appreciate the great improvement be has made in all his studies. When I recal to mind his former sad backward ness, and compare it with his present condition, I am satisfied that a system which has resulted in such a marked change must be a good one : therefore accept my sincere thanks for all your kindness and attention to my son.—And believe me, dear Sirs, yours most truly, CHARLES HAVES HIGGINS, M.D., F.R.C.S. of England, Bz.c. To Messrs. Hickie and Johns, 17, Muibcrry-st., Liverpool. 1, Oxford-street, Nov. V, 1833. Gentlemen,—My son being about to leave school shortly, I deem the occasion a suitable one for acknowledging how greatly I am pleased with his progress since he has been under your care. Your judicious system of instruction, and especially . your attention to mental development, cannot but result in the certain improvement of your pupils. Wishing you all the encouragement your energy and merit deserve. I am, Gentle men, yours very faia fully, E. STATTER, Surgeon, &c. To Messrs. Hickie and Johns. 18, Pembroke-place. Dec. 3, 1853. Dear Sirs,—More than a year having elapsed since my son became one of your pupils; I have now great pleasure in con gratulating you on the marked progress he has made in each branch of his studies ; which taken as a test of your mode of instruction, nothing, in my opinion, could be more successful. —I am, dear Sirs, very faithfully yours, PETER CONOLAN. Messrs. Hickie and Johns, Mulberry-street School. VACANCY for TWO BOARDERS, at 50 Guineas per Annum. The SCHOOL is now RE-OPENED. TiZFUNDbeing raised for the SUFFERERS the WRECK of the TAYLEUR, is to be applied by a Committee, composed of the Gentlemen whose Names are at the foot, in the following manner, namely,— Firstly,—ln paying the Survivors who wish to proceed to Australia a small sum, for their support until the 28th February, when they will be provided with a passage at the expense of the Owners of the Tayleur; and should they be detained after that day, they will be supported at the Owners' expense until they sail. Secondly,--In supplying those who go forward with an Outfit, just sufficient 'to supply their wants until they reach Australia. Lustly,—The balance of the Fund will be divided among the Widows and Orphans of those Husbands and Fathers who were lost in the Tayleur while preceding their Families to Australia, intending to send for them as soon as they had earned money enough - to pay their passages out. The number of Passengers saved is about 240, most of whom are entirely destitute, and the Funds subscribed to the present time will not suffice to give them the barest supply of clothes. The Committee give these explanations in the hope that 'they may induce many to subscribe who have heretofore not done so. CAPT. ScHomttalto, R.N., DANIEL CAMPBELL, S. R.

AL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. array of figures will, no doubt, operate as a con solation under the high price of every article of food, particularly as Ministerial piety takes credit to its political wisdom for plenty, and coolly attri butes all its failures to the dispensation of Pro vidence. It might have been thought that the exigencies of a war, against which it is necessary immediately to provide, and that in the most efficient manner, if we are to hope for a successful termination, would have been sufficient employment, not only for the public attention but also for the energies of Parliament ; but the Coalition Ministry, in antici pation of their fate, would appear to be gluttons for legislation, at least as far as promises are con cerned. The coasting trade, which has ever formed the nursery of our seamen, is to be sacrificed to the demon of competition, in order to be consistent in a false theory. The same kind of scalping knife is to be applied to the nursery of our great men, the time-honoured seminaries of Oxford and Cam bridge, in order to gratify the same greedy desire to level all distinctions. The service of the State in our civil institutions is to be submitted to a similar ordeal, so that place and pay . may become the reward of successful political agitation. Fur ther reform in the law is but vaguely hinted at, but the loss of legal employment, arising from County Court extension, is to be compensated by the validity of wills and the discussion of matrimo nial differences being transferred to the courts of common law. The Poor-law is once more to be altered, with a view of abolishing the ancient law of settlement, on the pretence that it impedes the freedom of labour. And as if this were not enough to employ both Houses until long after the calendar says that grouse-shooting commences, we are to have another Reform Bill, with a host of supple mentary Bills, professing to take more effectual precautions against the evils of bribery and corrup tion, but all allusion to intimidation is very conve niently avoided, for the reason, perhaps, that it would interfere with certain practices in Ireland, by a party which the Ministry have not the courage to oppose nor the skill to benefit by. With such a miscellaneous collection, to be further increased by Lord JOHN ItussELL's pet scheme of admitting Jews to Parliament, and perhaps a fresh attempt to legalise incestuous marriages, we can only come to the conclusion that the Ministers anticipate their speedy defeat, and have therefore industriously concocted this string of promises, to serve them as political capital when in opposition. See what we would have done, had you supported us in office. It is more refreshing to refer to what Earl DERBY did do in the short time he was in office. HER MAJESTY'S Speech, as we predicted last week, was looked forward to with much more anxiety than a document which is ordinarily of so common-place a character is usually honoured with. This was evident, not only in the excite ment throughout the kingdom, and the prepara tions made by the rival telegraph companies to gratify the anxieties felt in every town, but also in the throngs which greeted the royal procession, and the House of Lords crowded with eager listeners to catch the first words from the royal lips. They were not disappointed, and, for once, we have had a speech fuller of promises than the session, however long it may be protracted, will have time to realise ; and so far the Cabinet have shown the full spirit of Whiggery which animates them. The Speech, however, is entitled to consi deration, not only for what it says, but for what it has left unsaid, and for the precedent which it has set of altogether ignoring those friendly assurances from foreign powers which it was the wont of former Ministers to dwell upon with so much com placency. Her MAJESTY is made to say :—" I have continued to act in cordial co-operation with the EMPEROR of the FRENCH," leaving the infer ence to be drawn that with our neighbour alone are we at peace, and almost reminding us of by gone days, when England was opposed to a world in arms, with a solitary ally, which for its very singularity was made the most of. But then comes the pith of the story, the point of informa tion which all were so desirous to know—the hopes of a speedy settlement of the Turkish question, which were 'indulged in at the close of last session, have not been realised, and a state of warfare has ensued. There is, however, a last hope, though a faint one, for though the unremitting endeavours to preserve and to restore peace have been hitherto unsuccessful, 4 ‘ I will not fail to persevere in these endeavours ;" yet, " I think it requisite to make a further augmentation of my naval and inilitary forces." So that, after six months' negotiation, of which Russia has availed herself to make prepara tions for the coming struggle, the English Govern ment finds itself in a worse position, and the dream of Turkish independence as far off as ever. The Ministers attempt to claim credit for their forbear ance and their ardent desire to avert the horrbrs of war ; but they have not shown, nor will the people of England readily believe that the present unsatisfactory position of affairs is not mainly, or perhaps solely, owing to the very course which the Ministers appear t© pride themselves on pursuing. The English fleet was in fully as efficient a state for active operations before the Russians crossed the Pruth as it is now, and, if the ultimate design were to defend Turkey at all hazards, might then have more 'effectually interposed, with the pro bability that Russia would have hesitated to take the first step in the face of an indignant remonstrance from England, backed by an armed fleet to enforce it. On the other hand, if the English Ambassador at Constantinople pos sessed that influence over the Turkish Government which is attributed to him, he should have insisted on the concession of the Vienna note which had received the sanction of the Four Powers, which the - EMPEROR OF Russia. had agreed to accept, and which, had it been accepted by the SULTAN, would have deprived the CZAR of every pretext for war, without involving himself in hostility with every other state in Europe. Neither course was pur sued, but rather a system of temporising, which caused 'both belligerents to doubt the sincerity of England; destroyed the influence of the English Minister at Constantinople, and virtually encou raged Russia to persevere in her warlike operations. The discussion on these questions has been post poned until Parliament shall be in possession of the official papers which have been promised, but the Ministers will then have to undergo an ordeal far more searching than the almost friendly debate which ensued upon the motion for the Address to the Crown in both Houses of Parliament. The allusion to the Turkish question was all the refer ence which was made to Foreign policy in the Speech from the Throne. Not a word about China ; nor the war in Burmah ; nor the difference with Persia; nor the alleged neutrality of Denmark and Sweden ; nor the dubious position of Austria and Prussia; nor the differences with the United States, so positively referred to in the PRESIDENT'S Mes sage ; nor the death of the QUEEN OF PORTUGAL, and the presence of an English fleet at Lisbon ; nor the opening of the navigation of the River Plate, though that omission may be attributed to the credit belonging to the EARL OF DERBY'S Government : nor indeed to any other point of Foreign affairs, good, bad, or indifferent, excepting the all-absorbing question between Russia and Turkey. The short-comings, however, in Foreign matters are amply compensated by an immensity of pro mises on domes{ 'c affairs. There are no triumphant praises of the bles sings of Free Trade, but dear brad is attributed to the dispensation of Provi dence ; no allusion is made to the thousands of operatives out on strike, but the people who suffer from privations are to be treated with compliments for their exemplary patience, and the contentment which has been induced by the reduction of taxes affecting the necessaries of life. It is small comfort to a suffering man, with bread at tenpence a loaf, to tell him that the duty on Tea is fourpence a pound less, or that Soap is freed from the Excise, when the war has rendered the raw material dearer by the amount of the duty repealed. But we have congratulations on the Imports and Exports,and the received is the following statement of the PRE MIER, in reply to the Earl of DERBY:— " Connected with the preparation of the measure of Parliamentary reform, a misapprehension took place on the part of my noble friend. Believing the provision in question to be finally introduced into the measure, my noble friend tendered his resignation. However, explana• tions took place, and my nobl friend resumed—in fact he had never ceased to perform—the functions of the office of the Home - Department." • - Is there a sane man, not blinded by party prejudice, who will believe that Lord PALMERSTON, who was a member of the committee entrusted with the preparation of the Reform Bill, could make any mistake as to whether " the provision in question was finally introduced," when, from no Cabinet Council having been previously held, it was posi tively impossible ; and that such a mistake could have been so inexplicable as to lead to his resigna tion at such a time ? In the next place, can any one believe that the office was never vacant, when the resignation was accepted, and the vacancy offered to others ? Could such a mistake have existed during twelve days, while the PREMIER was looking in vain for a successor ? It is so ab surdly preposterous. that it is an insult to common sense to expect such a statement to be believed ; and it is to be hoped that some member of the Lower House will, for their own character, demand from Lord PALMERSTON an explanation which shall at least have a colourable probability. THE all-absorbing question of Peace or War has arrived at a position somewhat tangible, since the Speech from the Throne has declared the ill success of all negotiations for peace, and the deter mination of the Government to augment the naval and military forces of the country. The London papers are now paying great attention to the movements of the other Powers, and so strong is the feeling of its importance, that even a declara tion on the part of the Prince of PRUSSIA, that his Government should at once assume a decided tone against Russia, produced a rise in the value of cur Funds and Shares. Such a declaration, both by Austria and Prussia, would of course tend mate rially to hasten a settlement of the question, as it would be madness for the EMPEROR of RussiAlo attempt a contest with the Great Powers of Europe, with the certainty of immediate defeat ; but we adhere to our previous opinion, that the strength and resources of Russia have been too much over rated, and that England has little to fear from the encounter, excepting the expense and the disasters which ever follow from sanguinary strife. It appears evident, from the caution which has been pursued, and the courteous manner observed in the withdrawal of the Russian Ambassadors from London and Paris, that the CZAR is by no means anxious for a quarrel, however pride and obstinacy may have induced him to persevere in his demands ; and many are of opinion that they will receive orders to return to their embassies before they have reached St. Petersburgh. If we suppose, however, the worst as far as concerns our lukewarm allies, we have still no reason to anticipate any other than a triumphant result, should the CZAR of Russia persist in his folly. Had England to contend with all the Northern Powers, it would A SHORT time since, when the Radical press, and, we regret to say, some few Conservative papers, were indulging in reiterated slanders on the PRINCE CONSORT, we demonstrated the falsity of the charge by its inherent absurdity. Absurd, in the first place, to suppose that, in all acts purely her own, HER MAJESTY should not be guided by the advice of her husband ; and, in the next place, that the latter should have exercised his in fluence either to the prejudice of national interests or in any way infringing upon ministerial respon sibilities. The coirectness of this view has been amply corroborated by the explanations which took place on the first meeting of Parliament. The PREMIER and the FOREIGN SECRETARY, the Con servative Lord DERBY and bhe Whig Lord CAMP BELL, all concurred in the opinion we then ad vanced, that the presence of PRINCE ALBERT at ministerial audiences of HER MAJESTY, and his consultation with his Royal Consort on all public affairs, was not only strictly constitutional, but at the same time highly advantageous to the best interests of the country, and conducive to the pros perity of a reign which marks a special era in British history. In the course of the discussion the Earl of DERBY took occasion to repudiate all connexion with the Press of this country, denying that he had ever influenced the insertion of a para graph, or wished to be believed to have thine so. We shall not quarrel with such an apparent con tempt for services of which every true Conserva tive must admit the value, but rather receive it as an unintentional compliment to the disinterested patriotism which has animated Conservative writers, as favourably contrasted with the paid advocacy of Liberalism, so profusely rewarded by Radical patrons from, Prime Ministers downwards. It would be well, however, even for the Earl of DERBY to bear in mind that it is hardly consistent with sound policy to allow an influence so power ful as the press, for good or for evil, to experience a studied neglect in the former cause, while for the latter it has every encouragement even from those whose professions are directly the contrary. It was solely owing to the gratuitious, yet untir ing, exertions of the newspaper press, that so large a bod 3 of Conservative members were returned to the House of Commons at the last election ; yet, during the time Lord DERBY was premier, they received no aid, not even in the preference of official information. When their successors came into office, though the leading members professed to be Conseivatives, the advertising patronage of the Government was ostentatiously given to the Radical newspapers, and almost their first financial act was an alteration of duties by which their chief organ was benefited to the extent of many thou sands a year. The same journal has, since then, been the depository of State secrets, and even allowed to publish an official document before it was presented to Parliament. It may suit the independence of the Earl of DERBY to disavow his connexion with a support which has given value to his political exertions, but perhaps it would have been better for the country had the services of the Conservative press received more substantial sup port from those who profess to be the leaders of the Conservative party. not be for the first time in her military history ; and now, when we have a fleet superior to all besides, we are in a position to dictate terms, and have strength to enforce them. It may be a ques tion for grave consideration, whether the whole point in dispute is worth the violent disrupture -of a forty years' peace, particularly when it is consi dered that the independence of Turkey is a phan tom which will be as far off as ever ; but that question having been decided in the affirmative, no apprehension of the consequences need deter us from at once bringing it to issue. If the wisdom of England has resolved that the aggressive policy of Russia shall now receive a check, and security be demanded against any future infringement, we have but to buckle on our armour, to display once more the spirit which won Trafalgar and Waterloo, which drove the French out of the Peninsula, and swept the seas from pole to pole, and Russia must succumb, whether his neighbours help him or not. Their want of faith will prove their own destruc tion, and Austria will far better serve the cause of the EMPEROR of RussiA by uniting with the Western Powers to save him from the conse quences of his own folly, than, by any culpable leaning towards Russian counsels, precipitate the discomfiture of both empires, the crippling of Russia, and perhaps the annihilation of Austria, which would be rent to pieces by the insurrections of her own subjects in Hungary and Italy. England is but now assuming the position which she ought to have taken at the "commence ment of the affair, and would have taken but for the pusillanimity of a divided cabinet, which sought to gain by the trickery of diplomacy what should have been demanded by the boldness of moral courage, secure in the righteousness of her cause, and asking no more than she meant to enforce. The cause of dispute is the same now as it was six months ago, and if now we are justified in em broiling Europe in war, in order to preserve the integrity of territorial arrangements, we should have been equally justified in assuming the same determined tone before Russia had fulfilled her threat of crossing the Pruth and taking possession of the Danubian provinces: Let us hope, however, that, notwithstanding the apparent imminence of war, the EMPEROR of RUSSIA. will experience a return of his former good sense, though any con cession on his part will be accompanied with the bitter reflection that he cannot reinstate himself in the same position which he occupied before he entered upon his ill-advised crusade in defence of the Holy Places. Turkey will not now consent to resume the treaties which have been broken, and Russia will discover, when too late, that her progress has been retrograde. IT is a melancholy truth, that no men are more violent in pursuing the wrong path than those who have been perverted from the right way. The worst Radicals are those who have been Conserva tive, the most outrageous Romanists are those who have been beguiled from Protestantism, and the once Conservative members of the Coalition Ministry seem determined to furnish a further illustration of the same truth. The Free Traders who formed the Manchester Leaiue were content with the repeal of the Corn Laws ; Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in laying his sacrilegious hands on the Great Maritime Charter, known as the Navigation Laws, spared the coasting trade, the nursery of our seamen, and the source of our greatness as a naval power ; but the renegade Conservatives who are now at the helm have doomed this to destruction, and unless the Legislature interpose, we may look in vain for that maritime supremacy which has become iden tified with our national history. In the Speech from the Throne HER MAJESTY is made to say IT is not two months since the country was aroused from its more than wonted political apathy, by the announcement that one of the most import ant members of the Ministry—he, indeed, on whom the majority of Government supporters had chosen to rely for his political experience—had resigned his office, and that his resignation had been ac cepted by HER MAJESTY. Such an event, so seem ingly fruitful of more important changes, was declared, with a tone of authority, in a journal which had the reputation of enjoying Ministerial confidence, and was accompanied with the'explana tion that it was solely owing to a difference of opinion on the details of the proposed Reform Bill, and some sneers on the versatility of Palmerstonian genius, which was becoming notorious for resigna tion in December. No one believed the explana tion, which was considered a paltry evasion of the truth. In the meantime, the vacant Sscretaryship was offered in vain to several aspiring statesmen, and, twelve clays afterwards, the same authority made the announcement that the Ministerial quar rel had been made up, while the sneers about Palmerstonian versatility were salved over with fulsome compliments of official experience and political genius. Under such a state of circum stances, which were of the more importance when Lord PALMEitSTON'S long connexion with foreign affairs gave a more than ordinary significance to his resignation while complicated negotiations were pending, all that the public could do was to wait until the meeting of Parliament for this web of official trickery to be unravelled. Parliament has met, and all the satisfaction which the public has " I recommend to your considerMion a bill which I have ordered to be framed for opening the coasting trade of tha United Kingdom to the ships of all friendly nations ; and I look forward with satisfaction to the removal of the last legislative restriction upon the use of foreign shipping for the benefit of my people." The conclusion is here very coolly assumed, though for the foundation of it we may look in vain. Wherein have the people suffered from the restric tion upon the use of foreign shipping, that its removal should be looked forward to with satis faction ; or rather, wherein have they not suffered from the partial removal which has already been made ? We stated, on a previous occasion, some of the losses experienced by British merchants, owing to the injudicious employment of foreign vessels, which are not governed by British laws, nor do they submit to British usages. These evils would be multiplied if the coasting trade were thrown open to them, while the loss to the nation would be incalculable, from the discouragement which would thereby be given to British seamen. In the course of the debate, some allusions were made to the loss of the Tayleur, which wa s a tb r i_ buted to the insufficiency of her crew ; but this fa& affords a striking argument against the policy of the alteration which has already taken place. Rad the law been in force which insisted on three-fourths of the crew being British seamen, the danger would have been less, but it will be still further augmented by the proposed opening of the coasting trade. The restriction is said to enhance freights, and to mri tate against the interests of the ship-owner, but it is far more for the interests of commerce that a vessel should convey her passengers and cargo to the desired port in safety, than, in order to effect a small saving in the wages of her crew, be wrecked on the first coast she comes in sight of. It is miserable economy, fruitful of evil, and its effects will be more apparent when the stern regicements of war shall have rendered desirable every able- , bodied seaman, in order to man the fleet for the national defences. THE RED JACKET is about to be thrown open to public inspection. OkvAlEAL.—In the last nine or ten days 21,000 loads of oatmeal have arrived in Liverpool from Ireland. PROPOSED CEMETERY FOR PRESTON.—It has been re solved that a burial ground, under the 15th and 16th Vie toria, and 16th and 17th Victoria, be provided for the township of Preston. THE Rnv. J. B. LowE, incumbent of St. Jude's, will deliver a lecture at the Concert-hall, on the 20th inst., in reply to the statements of the Rev. W. H. Anderdon, the Romish pervert. Mr. Lowe's lecture will be in ccu nexion with the Protestant Reformation Society. TITE CANADA., British and North American RoyalMaA steam-ship, Captain .Stone, sailed on Saturday, for Boston aril Halifax, with the usual mails for the United States and British possessions in North America, a full comple ment of passengers, and a large cargo of valuable merchan dise on freight THE OLINDA.—On Saturday, a steamer arrived from Holyhead, having in tow a lump laden with goods from. the Olinda, screw steamer. The hull of the vessel is stated to have broken in two, owing to the weight of the engine causing an immense strain amidships. WIGAN STRIRE.—There has been no change of any mo ment in connexion with this strike since last week. The number of idlers continues to decrease gradually. The Ince-hall Coal and Cannel Company have given notice to their colliers of their intention to give an advance of prices to the extent of a penny to the shilling, or 82 ; and it is believed several other coal proprietors will follow their example. EYE AND Emu INFIRMARY.—At the fifth annual meet ing of the friends and supporters of the St. Anne's Dispensary and Eye and Ear Infirmary, Rose-hill, on Wednesday, Mr. T. Barton presiding, the report showed that the receipts for the past year had been £472. 13s. 10d, and the expenditure and relief during the same period, £393. 13s. ; the . number of persons relieved being 9,610, or more than double the number who were relieved in 1840. PRESTON Srnrxr.—The returns for this, the nineteenth week of the lock-out and the twenty-third of the strike, show that the number of unemployed hands relieved from the Trades' Union Funds was 16,174; last week, 16,335: decrease, 161.. The amount disbursed in relief this week was £3,019 ss. 6d.; last week, £3,073 10s. : decrease, £24 4s. 6d. It will be observed that there is again a consi derable decrease in the number of hands receiving relief, the weavers alone showing a diminution of 124 as compared with last week. This arises from the active measures taken to assist the hands in removing from the town. The amount of contributions was larger this week than last. THE ABATEMENT OF THE SMOKE NUISANCE, IND THX POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY. - Since the discussion at the meeting of the Town Council, on the smoke noinnit clause, we understand that Mr. Francis Morton has pro posed to the Polytechnic Society that the subject should be brought under consideration at The society's meeting, on Monday evening next, and Mr. Morton has arranged for a paper to be read by Mr. John Lee Stevens, of London„ the inventor of the patent smokeless furnaces, in order to show how the smoke nuisance can be subverted without obstruction or prejudice to the interests of the owners of steam boats, manufactories, &c. The smokeless furnaces are extensively in use in London and other places, their chief characteristics being great simplicity, the absence of all moving apparatuS or other expensive arrangements, preventing the formation of smoke, and effecting a large saving of fuel. The subject is one of great public interest at the present time, and we have no doubt the meeting on Monday evening will be numerously attended. FRAUDS ON THE NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY COMPA/CY. —At the Police-court, on Friday, William Caitchen, chief cashier in the office of the London and Northwestern Railway Company, Lime-street was charged with mai-- appropriating £5OO. It appeared: that, during the week ending the 4th of December, the prisoner received the stun of £1,309 10s. 3d., which it was his duty to pay into the Bank of Liverpool, or Moss and Co.'s Bank, to the credit of the company. But before doing so, he gave instructions to his clerk, Mr. Henry Lane Thatcher, to make a deduction of £5OO, explaining that he had authorits to do so from Mr. Goalen, principal of the audit depart ment at London, to reduce the balance iu the book produced by some £3,000 odd, for the purpose of wiping off a portion of an old balance connected with the East Lancashire Company. Thatcher did as he was directed. The prisoner was apprehended by detective-officer Eaton, on Thursly. Mr. Humphreys, solicitor, who appeared for the company, stated that Mr. Goalen, the principal of the audit depart ment of this company, was also in custody on a charge of extensive frauds, involving an amount of between £5,00Q and £O,OOO. THE SCREW-STEAMER ANDES, Moodie, hence to Boston and New York, returned to this port on account of leaking, stress of weather, &c. The following is the report of the surveyors :—On the 4th February, 1854, attended the ves sel lying dry in the Iluskisson Dock, and found the leak arose from the stern-bush, the bush being secured by two strong bolts passing through the sternpost, the bolt appa rently having worked itself out of the nut inwards, the iron nut being secured by an iron guard outside, which iron guard still remains perfect. Found the topgallant forecastle stove in, namely, the beams and deck of it broken. Portforward gangway and four chain stanchions broke, and several started, covering board split. Examined the hatches, which were well secured, and the goods quite dry in hatchways, except one bale under the winch, partially damaged; and on examination of the dunnage in the be tween-decks, and the manner the cargo is protected in the hold with tarpaulings, our opinions are that there is no damage, and we do not consider it necessary to discharge the cargo. And, on a careful examination, do not see any signs of weakness in the' hull of the vessel Recommend the bolt through sternpost to be replaced, and the other damage replaced and repaired. INQUESTS YESTERDAY.—Three inquests were held yes terday, before P. F. Curry, Esq., the borough coroner. The first was on Edward Williams, 37 years of age. On the 19th of January deceased had been sent with another Timm to bring a horse from the Lime-street railway station to the house of Mr. Richard Holmes, publican, corner of Watkinson-street, St. James's-place. He mounted iti back without a saddle, and on getting opposite to the Bev. Dr. Raffies's chapel,' the horse shyed, and threw him vio lently on to its shoulders. Deceased had sustained by the shock rupture of the urethra. of which he died in the Southern Hospital on Sunday last.—On John Mildoon, 3 dock labourer, 35 years of age. On Wednesday last, 'de ceased was employed with other men in. assisting to load the ship Duke in the Canning Dock, with a cargo of ma hogany for Calcutta. They were putting one log into the hold, the deceased holding a plank to keep it off the cor nices. When the log had been got right over the hatch way, he was ordered to let go, but did not do so, and he woo precipitated into the hold, by which the right side of hig head was fractured. He died in the Southern lioapitaL— , The third and last inquest was on Ann Pask Hopwood, the daughter of Mr. Hopwood, licensed victualler, Great Crosshall-street, seven months old. Deceased was in the care of a wet nurse, who lived in the house, and whilst in her charge the child was overlain. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—About half-past sir o'clock on Friday morning, a collision took place at tht Leyland Station, on the London and North-western Rail way, by which Robert Taylor, a breaksman on a coal train, belonging to Mr. Hargreaves, lost his life. A Liverpool goods train, from Preston, came up to the sta tion, where it stopped, and the breaksman of the train got off to unhook one of the wagons which had to be left at the station. When he had done so, he called on the engine-driver to run the train quickly into the siding, or a train behind would be into them ; but he had no sooner said this, than au empty coal-wagon train ran into the goods train, and some of the carriages were thrown Rios the two lines and broken. In about two minutes after this occurrence, the coal train belonging to Mr. Hargreaves! came up from Coppull at a quick rate, and the driver seeing a signal made to stop, endeavoured to do so, but', as he was coming down the incline, and was then very near the station when he saw the signal, in consequence of the thick fog then prevailing, he could not stop the train in time, and it ran through the station quite three hundred yards before it was brought to a stand. As this last train passed, Taylor was standing on the break of one of the wagons, and that side of the carriage was t urne a inwards towards the other rails, instead of towards this outside, the consequence being that the man was brushed off, as it were, by the passing train, and immediately after lie was found lying on the line between the rails. Mc jacket, waistcoat, and flannel singlet were cut through, as though he had sustained a very violent blow on that side, and he died in four hours after the accident.

ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.—gxtract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road, Liver pool.—,Gentle.nen,-1 have great pleasure in communicating to you a case (among many) which came under my own observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance uPon herliushand during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not obtain any relief; when, upon the recommendat on of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the -commencem,ent, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly cured. THOMAS DEAN. CURE OF A FOURTEEN YEARS' ASTHMATIC COUGH. — I, Thomas Carter, Egremont, Cheshire, had an asthmatic cough for fourteen years; nothing ever gave me relief until I commenced taking Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, three boxes of which have entirely cured me. (Signed) THOMAS CARTER. Witness, Mr.-George Howell, Chemist, Dale-street, Liverpool. RAPID CURE OF COUGH AND DIFFICULTY OF BREATH zNo.—Sir.—I write to inform you of the great benefit I have received from ticking Locock's Wafers, which you recom mended to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that when I lay down a coughing fit came on with such violence that I have often thought I should not live to see the morn ing; but nowt can 'sleep a whole night without coughing, after having taken only two boxes of wafers.

Lichfield.—Gentlemen,—A lady of distinction, having pointed out to me the qualities of Dr. Locock's Wafers, I was induced to make a trial of a box, and from this trial I am happy to give my testimonial in their •favour. I find by allowing a few of the Wafers (taken in the course of the day) to gradually dissolve in the mouth, my voice becomes bright and clear, and the tone full and distinct. They are decidedly the roost efficacious of any I have ever used. S. PEARSALL.

A CABINET COUNCIL was held at the Foreign-office on Saturday. The Council sat four hours and three.quarters. THE DEPARTURE OF THE RUSSIAN MINISTEIL—Late on Saturday afternoon Baron Branow . had an interview with the Earl of Clarendon at the Foreign-office, for the purpose of formally suspending the diplomatic relations of the Emperor of Russia with Her Majesty's Government. The Russian Minister will immediately withdraw from this country with all the members of the Legation, who are to repair, we believe, to different towns in Germany; the Russian Consul-General will, however, remain for the pre sent to transact the commercial business of his office. The public are doubtless aware that a Minister from .a for eign State who is recalled under circumstances like the present is not .entitled to the audience of the Queen at which envoys commonly take leave of Her Majesty at :the termination of their missions. Nevertheless, the reeal of an Envoy does not constitute .a declaration of war, and it must be followed by more decided measures on the one side or the other before a state of war can exist between the two empires. The first measure taken by the British , Government on the eve of a rupture with a foreign Power has commonly been to stop by Order in Council vessels clearing out from British ports to the ports of the hostile Power; but the present state of our relations with Russia , bas long been so well known to the public that we are in formed that no vessels are clearing out of our ports for that,country, and the trade is virtually suspended. It would, however, be of advantage to the mercantile interests of the nation if the Ministers of the Crown on announc ing to Parliament the suspension of diplomatic relations with Russia would inform the country whether measures 'are likely to be resorted to of a nature to affect the liberty of trade. We presume the Government will lose no time in recalling Sir Hamilton Seymour and the British Mis sion from St. Petersburg, if, indeed, they have not already received their passports; but the measures adopted on this subject will of course be taken, as every preceding step has been, in concert with the French Government.— Times- Sou= DEVON ELECTlON.—Lawrence Palk,Esq.,baving issued an address to the electors of South Devon, Sir Massey Lopes believes that it would be in accordance with the true Gonservative policy of him to decline being put in nomination on the present occasion, and has, therefore, determined to refuse the honour, notwithstanding the kind desire of his numerous and zealous friends, that he would allow himself to be brought forward as a candidate for the division. THE ANNIVERSARY OF HER MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE will be celebrated with the customary rejoicings at Windsor, on Thursday next. THE ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA will reopen for the season of 1854 on Tuesday, the 21st of March. The engagements, including Grisi and Mario, are completed. THE EMPEROR or JAPAN is said to have died. His decease will place the court in mourning for three years, during which period no foreign embassy can be received. ALEXANDER DE BODISCO, who for fifteen years has acted as Russian Envoy at Washington, is dead. He was a Wallachian noble by birth, and first entered the Public service in Russia about fifty years ago, without fortune, but endowed with some knowledge of the French lan guage and a neat handwriting. SIR JOHN STRICHAN, Bart., died at Teignmouth, at the ' advanced age of 76. This title, which was created in 1635, is now extinct. The first holder was a distinguished financier, and the sixth was the celebrated admiral who rendered much service at Trafalgar. The family estates lie in Stirlingshire. THE PREMIER.—For nearly half a century Lord Aber deen has been connected, in a certain sense, with public affairs ; and he has failed in every great enterprise in which he has embarked. He talks largely of his relations with the Court of Vienna forty years ago. The irnproper favour of Lord Castlereagh saved him from being re ! called from the scene of action. Selected by the Duke of Wellington to deal with the Turkish difficulty in '2B-29, his labours concluded with the treaty of Adrianople. He boasts of being the founder of the entente cordihle ; it terminated with the Chateau d'Eu and the Spanish mar riages. Lord Aberdeen with the aid of " foreign conspira tors," then got up an elaborate impeachment of Lord Palmerston. The speech of Lord Aberdeen on that oc casion, which should have been the greatest effort of his life, is the most signal failure on record. Finally, this sage Minister tries his safe hand at Turkish politics again, and after a year of vacillation and incapacity confuses all Europe, and perhaps involves his country in war. We assure Lord Aberdeen that, in treating of his conduct and career, there is no necessity to haye recourse to calumny, "—The Prow. STANDARD GENERAL PRINTING OFFICE, 4, ST.
