TO CORRESPONDENTS. The Journal says that a room at the Mercury-office, which was always kept locked, has been opened by some unauthorised person, and was found to be crammed full of printed copies of the Mercury. Our contemporary may easily foist up an extensive circulation by resorting to such expedients as this. We have been requested to state, that the family of the late Dr. Weatherill—who has fallen a victim to fever—are in a state of great destitution ; and a benevolent gentleman has under taken to apply for their relief any money which may be en /rusted to him. If any of our readers feel disposed to assist the object, we will hand their contributions to the gentleman in question. _ _ . .A 1 typographical mistakes were made in the excellent letter ot 4 Niga," which appeared in the STANDARD last week. In the second sentence of the second section, (if we may so call it,) beginning " For your pity," instead of its present rendering it should be "we will confess you have belied the -nature of your Church, and allowed your amiability," &c. Considerably lower down, and near the end of this section, for " occurred" read " accursed." At the bottom of the column, instead of " four" read " your ;" and at the begin- ring of next column the same error is repeated. There were several other errors which damaged the letter in a literary point of view, and also one grammatical inaccuracy; but these did not materially alter the sense.

The question with which he concludes his letter, betrays anything but a culti vated mind and a matured judgment, and leads us to suspect that our correspondent is lamentably unacquainted with the first principles of revelation, though he boastfully parades his acquaintance with theology. When hehas carefully read, and thoughtfully and honestly studied such works as Paley's Evidences and Butler's Analogy, he will find, unless we are grievously mistaken, that the Bible is not the only book which asserts and proves that infidelity is inseparably con nected with folly.

TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 21, 1847 THE statesmanship of the present day, in push ing forward its inroads upon the Constitution, and its antagonism to those principles which guided our ancestors in framing that Constitution and build ing up and securing the social fabric of this empire, works commonly by the aid of pretexts. Thus the failure of the potato crop was the pretext for throw ing down the fence of protection, which for years had stood between the native industry and agricul ture of Great Britain and foreign competition ; and the recent disturbance of the relations between the States of the Romish Church and Austria is evidently about to serve as a pretext for a closer approach, on the part of the Government of this Protestant country, to Rome, and, as a certain result, to Romanism. One of the most intelligible forms of the protest which the nation has main tained against the Papacy since the Reformation— a protest hedged round by the pains and penalties of a prcemunire levelled against those who should even propose to tamper with it—is about to be withdrawn by the establishment of diplomatic rela tions with the Roman Court; and a Whig official —Lord Minto—is already en route to Italy, armed, no doubt, with the necessary powers to effect that object. _ _ _ _ - - It is some acknowledgment of the deeply-rooted aversion to any traffic with Rome, which exists in the Protestant mind of the British people, that the project is set about with all the tortuosity, on the . - part of its authors and advocates, of a college of Jesuits. His Holiness Pope Pius the Ninth, in the exercise of the political functions of his double office of a political and spiritual potentate, has de parted from the course of his predecessors, by the profession of a liberal and tolerant spirit. More astute than they, he sees that the corporeal thral- lin of his subjects may be relaxed with - out weaken- ing the spiritual thraldom in which they are held. Enervated Italy is sufficiently secured to his power by the priestly influences to which every family • amongst its population is subjected. He finds that a race of fiddlers and singers, lazzaroni and ban ditti, a bankrupt and a profligate aristocracy, and an ignorant and superstitious populace, may be allowed to waste their breath in vivas to the empty name of liberty, so long as they are fast held by the spiritual arm. Austria, however, fears both the contact and example of such principles; and has taken a step, perhaps unjustifiable, to protect her self from them; and Liberalism throughout Europe forthwith expends its sympathy in behalf of the wily power, the liberties of whose people are said to be invaded. Rome stretches forth her hands as a sup pliant for protection and aid ; and the Whig rulers of Protestant England, instead of boldly standing forward and, in the name of their Sovereign and her people, proclaiming to the aggressor their de termination that the faith of treaties shall be main- tained, and the weak protected against the strong, seizes the pretext offered, for another purpose—for the purpose of glossing over, by an appeal to our sympathies in behalf of the oppressed, a further approach to fraternisation with Popery; for such, however cunningly attempted to be concealed, is the recognition of the temporal power of a sove reign, whose very title to his throne is based upon the will of a spiritual confederation. The utilitarian grounds upon which we are urged to accredit an ambassador at Rome are thus set forth, in a most jesuitical article, by the London Mmes of Wednesday last : " The truth is, thai' there is hardly a single Court o f Europe with which it is of greater importance that we should be in regular and legitimate communication than this. The Pontifical dominions promise to be the birth place of that enlightened and liberal policy which is to re trieve the long degradation of the Italian Peninsula, and which it is the interest of all philanthropists to promote. Nor is the influence of their sovereign confined to his own territories. As the spiritual head of a vast number of British subjects, he exercises a certain controlling power within these realms which it might indeed be thought very desirable to transfer to more amenable hands, but which it is the height of childishness to ignore. The influence, such as it is, actually exists, not in force sufficient, as ex perience has often proved, to be weighed for a moment against the suggestions of loyalty or patriotism, but with quite enough in reality to deserve attention. And yet, for the sake of a statute already condemned by sense and reason, we have been contented to forego all the benefit which might be derived from amicable relations with a sovereign whose voice on certain points would be respect fully listened to by some millions of British subjects." _ We request our readers' attention to the sentence which we have printed in italics. The Roman pontiff, our contemporary says, exercises, as the spiritual head of avast number of British subjects, a certain controlling power within these realms. The constitution of England, however, is established upon the decisively expressed principle that " the Bishop of Rome has no jurisdiction temporal or spiritual within this realm of England." And yet we are recommended to sneak into favour with the temporal sovereign, that he may be tempted to exercise his spiritual influence for our advantage and peace. The Queen of England is to stand before the world in the character of an humble suppliant, at the feet of his holiness of Rome, for permission to wear her imperial diadem in quiet -1 The power of a foreign monarch is to be in , ked to her aid, whenever her Roman Catholic subjects are rebellious or unruly ; and the confes sion is thus virtually to be made, in contradiction mzm - ifk proscription of the law but our readers will probably be of opinion that by the arrangement we now announce, her Majesty's ministers have contrived rather happily to escape the dilemma in which the imperative demands of policy and the inevitable penalties of a prwmunire had conspired to place them. The. Earl of Minty, who is now on his road to Turin, will extend his tour to Rome, and, though not accredited by any official introduction, or in vested with any formal representative character, will be enabled by his presence at the Pontifical Court to facilitate the circuitous intercourse between two states which have so sensibly persisted in blocking up the ordinary ch a n n els of a necessary communication. The position and connexions of his lordship will 1? an immediate and su ffi c i en t guaran tee of his respnnsibility, and will confer upon him much of that authority which it is as yet forbidden more directly to delegate, while his known qualifications for such a mission supply a complete assurance that the interests and honour of England will be safe in his hands. In this way it is expected that Ministers may be enabled to communicate with a friendly state at a very critical period of its fortunes, without rendering themselves liable to the accumulated penalties which our ingenious ancestors devised for treason. As soon as Parliament meets THE LETTER OF THE LAW may be brought into accordance WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE, and, after we have graciously recognized the political existence of a , • . rower which at present commands the earnest and prac ti"al sympathies of half the population of the island, Lord Minto may be boldly invested with a title befitting the functions he must necessarily discharge." Mean as Whiggery is, and ever has been of late, anything so mean as this tortuous course—this " ha,2py escaping from a dilemma" member to ha . veheard of in its past history. —we never re- What infinite pains are to be taken to hoodwink a too-easy people ! How this ambassador, without official introduction, without any formal representative character, is to draggle in the mire, into the pre sence of the representatives of the Roman Catholic states of Europe, the degraded majesty of England ! Oh ! it is most rank and offensive. But it is urged by the Time; that, whilst we should " lose no time in candidly confessing our convictions, and openly recording our decision" — better that this candid confession and open record ing should he made before we thus crawled to Rome on our hands and knees, instead of afterwards—there is not much "ground for apprehension that the Court of Rome will be backwarilin meeting overtures of such a friendly spirit by a reciprocal obliteration of discreditable and pernicious memorials." Happily we are prepared with a reply to this confident pre- • diction of the waiving of popish insolence and into lerance by the Court of Rome, in a letter to the Times of the same day, addressed in reply to the arguments of a correspondent—lgnotus—by a gen tleman who dates from Lincoln's-inn. Ignotus had urged, in opposition to the course proposed—first, that up to this hour the title of her gracious Ma jesty is unacknowledged by the Prince-prelate of Rome ; secondly, that the sentences of excommuni cation levelled against the Queen of England and her adherents are unrevoked by him ; and thirdly, that, up to this hour, the bull in ccena domini, put forth by Paul V., excommunicating, for disobe dience to the Roman pontiff; our Queen, clergy, nobles, and such portions of the people as are not Roman Catholics, and which sentence of anathema is to be renewed afresh every Maundy Thursday, is uncancelled and unrepudiated by Pius IX. To the first two of these positions the reply offered is of the most flimsy and equivocal descrip tion. The Queen is said to have been virtually re cognised by the fact that the Pope of that day wrote a letter to George the Fourth, through Mr. Ca nning, announcing his elevation to the throne ! With respect to the second matter—the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth—it is urged that Queen Victoria does not derive her title from Elizabeth ; and that such excommunication "was grounded on her (Elizabeth's) alleged illegitimacy, by reason of the invalidity of the divorce of Queen Catherine, and consequently of the marriage of Anne Boleyn." The most material fact, however, urged by Ignotus, is the non-withdrawal of the anathema from our Queen and the Protestant people, for disobedience to the Roman Pontiff—an anathema as valid now as when first issued, levelled as much at Queen Victoria and her subjects as at Queen Elizabeth, because provision was expressly made for its inde finite renewal. What does the Jesuit correspondent of the Times say to this ? Why, first, he pleads that the anathema in 'question is only a "spiritual denunciation of spiritual penalties," (including for feiture of allegiance, &c.,) against what the Church of Rome holds to be a spiritual offence, i. e. sepa tion from its communion ;" and he asks " how can this Bull affect diplomatic, political, and purely temporal intercourse with the Court or Govern ment of Rome ?" The cancelling of this offensive Bull, or an acknowledgment that withdrawal from obedience to the Roman Pontiff is sanctioned by the third General Council, he says ".seems to him somewhat unreasonable !" So much for the pro mised concessions of Rome towards us, in return for our acknowledging her, by accrediting an am bassador to her court. So much for the decency and sense of self-respect involved in fondling the temporal arm of a power, whose spiritual head thinks it unreasonable not to be permitted once a year publicly to consign to perdition our Sovereign and ourselves ! But, it is- asked,—" What actual evil or danger can result from the course proposed ?" And we are reminded of the fact, that although ostensibly our government is not represented at the Court of Rome, we still communicate with that court through some intermediate and indirect channel. The re ply is easy. We anticipate real tangible evil to arise from the encouragement which would be given by such a step, to the erroneous doctrines professed by the church, of "the vast number of British sub jects," of whom the Times speaks, as acknowledg ing the Pope of Rome as "their spiritual head," and submitting to the exercise over them of " a certain-controlling power." Will the Romish party in England, or in Ireland, be less disposed to seek. the extermination of Protestantism in the empire, in consideration- of the concession which we are urged to make to that spiritual head ? Certainly not. We presume, too, that any diplomatic rela-- tions which we may establish with Rome must be mutual; that if we have an ambassador at her court, we must be prepared to receive a leg Ste •at our own ; and we are yet to be informed •of any such ecclesiastic being near to the throne of a pro testant sovereign without disturbance, distracted councils, intrigues in high quarters, and jealousy and discontent amongst the people being the re sult. We fear, too, the presence amongst us. of such an ecclesiastic, in an official capacity, as afford ing a pretext for further steps in the same direc • tion ; and as providing the machinery, by which the present " controlling power "' of the Pope in this realm may be extended and rendered more stringent It - would be well that British protestant& should arouse themselves to resist this gross outrage upon their feelings—this forerunner of further heavy blows and great discouragement" to the established religion and constitution of the realm. The plea upon which it is urged al desirable that we should have an ambassador at Rollie ; is most preposterously absurd and weak. What have we to do with the petty intrigues of the petty dukedoms and states of Italy ? Nothing. We may indeed stand by, in an armed attitude, if necessary, to repress any attempt by Austria to violate the settlement of Europe by the extension of her influence in Italy. We may carry our protest against such an attempt to the gates of Vienna itself. But for us to profess any care about what is ludicrously styled "the cause of liberty"' in the Italian Peninsula, at the risk of bringing about a disturbance of the peace of Europe, would be to render ourselves the laughter of all Europe. Liberty in the very hot-bed of Popery ! Liberty with Italians, who only breathe and walk about at the will and capriee of the legion of priests and monks who swarm over and blacken the land, is likely to be as delusive a dream as ever the world was befooled withal ! to her own declaration on oath, that no foreign power shall exercise dominion or influence in the direction of the internal affairs of her kingdom. A humiliating ground, truly, upon which to defend the recognition of the popedom by the presence at Rome of an ambassador ! But, if the position in which we are urged to place the sovereign and the nation is humiliating, infinitely greater is the meanness by which we are to seek that position. We are not boldly and openly to declare that we are prepared to reverse the course which we have adopted towards Rome since the reformation ; we are not to approach the Pope in a straightforward attitudq, with a straight forward message; but to wriggle and crawl into his presence, in an attitude of whining self abase - ment, and low and selfish trickery—an attitude :.half way between that of conscious knavery and in tending treachery. The same journalist, in the same feeler which he has just put forth in behalf of her majesty's ministers, says : " It must have been long evident to attentive observers of:ltalian politics that the current of events in that country would not wait for the impending adjustment of our diplo matic relations with the court of Rome, but that circum stances would compel us to anticipate, in some fashion, the obvious decision of so important a question. The wisdom of our ancestors had bequeathed us a position of considerable embarrassment, and some little delicacy war -equisite to reconcile the necessities of the case with the The proceedings of the Birkenhead Commis sioners, which will be found reported in another column, ought to afford to the inhabitants of that town further conviction, were it required, of the hopelessness of any attempt to proceed to the com pletion of their dockworks, either with the resources at their own command, or by means of the arrange ment proposed to them by the Birkenhead and Lancashire Railway Company. The consideration of the proposition in question, for which the spe cial meeting of Thursday was called, is, it will be seen, adjourned for a fortnight ; and there seems little prospect that it will be adopted by the bond holders, for whose benefit (?) it is ostensibly urged ; or, if so adopted, that it can possibly be sanctioned by the Legislature, Under these circumstances it becomes seriously the duty of the Commissioners to make the best of the unfortunate position in which they are placed; and; laying aside any feelings of mortified pride caused by the failure of their original plans, to en tertain the proposition contained in the following THE LiVERPOOL STANIAItD. Mg!attlßfiMiM 3 TE remarks and resolution of Mr. Bryans. That gen tleman, at the meeting on Thursday, stated that " He rose to move a motion similar to that at the last meeting, which had been withdrawn, relative to the disposition of the board to treat with any responsible party who might be willing and competent to undertake the fulfilment of their engagements, and to secure them a fair remuneration for what they had already expended on the works. He was glad to find that most of the news paper press of Liverpool took the same view of the matter which he did—viz., that they should transfer their powers to such a body as the Liverpool Corporation or the Dock Trust, who, if they undertook to carry out the designs of the company, would be fully able to proceed with them. This was the view taken by the Courier, the Standard, and the Times, and he thought that it was _quite correct. He proposed a motion to the effect stated." With respect to the part which we have ourselves taken, as referred to by Mr. Bryans, in recommend ing the sale of the works to the Dock Trustees of Liverpool, we can assure the Commissioners and our Cheshire neighbours that it has been prompted only by a sincere conviction that such a course is the best for the interest of the people on both sides of the river. The Dock Trustees of Liverpool pos sess the means required to give an immediate sti mulus to the prosperity of Birkenhead—to save that locality, in fact, from a decline as rapid as its rise has been, and the owners of the vast mass of capital invested in what now appears to have been prompted by a too hasty estimate' of their posi tion, from embarrassment and ruin. That body, moreover, as we have before stated, possess advan tages for the satisfactory working of the docks in the pool which can belong to no other body. As ancillary to the Dock Estate of Liverpool—as a por tion of the port of Liverpool—the docks of Birken head might be made to subserve largely the inte rests and the progress of the commerce of the Mersey, to aid the development of the various railways converging into the locality, and likely still further to be extended; whilst the value of the mass of household property at present half tenanted d ruinously deprecialecr in value, could . not fail to be increased by a measure which would in effect unite Birkenhead and Liverpool as one community, reflecting the prosperity of the one upon the other. Such, we are convinced, is the opinion of nine tenths of the inhabitants of Birkenhead, who are not directly interested in land or other specula tions, the basis of which has been the full carrying out of the dock schemes, as originally projected and planned. It seems to be feared by these par ties, that the Dock Committee of Liverpool would convert the pool into a lumber dock merely; a place for ship building yards, coal and slate wharfs, &c., to be used by coasters bringing into our river, and for outward-bound vessels taking on board, ballasting and rough freight, such vessels passing over to the Liverpool docks to complete their cargoes. The warehouse company doubtless fear the operation of such a conversion. We dare say that the Dock Committee will be disposed to°use the inner part of the pool for the above purposes• for which it is calculated to be most valuable to Liverpool. But how will the inhabitants of Bir kenhead and the owners of property there, the warehousing company perhaps excepted, be in jured ? Not at all. On the contrary, a measure which will concentrate in the pool a portion of the timber and iron and the bulk of the ship-building . trades; which will bring, in fact, to that side of the river, by rail and in coasting vessels, the bulk of the heavy trade of the port and the population' employed by it, must be most beneficial, not only' temporarily but permanently, by raising the value of land in the neighbourhood to the scale of the outskirt land on the Liverpool side, if not giving it the value of some of the most expensive and densely-built upon plots in the immediate vicinity of our own docks. . . TIIE LIVERPOOL SHAREBROKERS AND THE PRESSURE OF CALLS FOR MONEY. We cannot regard the nleeting of the Liverpool Share brokers, held on the 10th instant, and the resolutions entered into, as either unreasonable or obtrusive. Few men are placed in a position affording greater facilities for acquiring a knowledge of the effect of the difficulties in which railway shareholders are placed by the present strin gency of the money market, and the effect produced by companies:pressing for calls at the present time, than share brokers are. Many a tale of ruinous sacrifice these gen tlemen could relate, as the result of their daily experience. It is idle folly, 'then, to treat their resolutions, at their late meeting, praying for a suspension of the carrying on of those concerns which are not imperatively necessary to admit of important lines, or connecting links of such lines, being completed and opened, as the selfish prayer of in terested speculators. The fact is apparent and obvious that, sooner or later, under the operation of our currency laws, railway formation, like other branches of enterprise, must be brought - to a dead lock. We may have capital, but we have not a circulating medium to carry them on ; and every effort made to fight against the impossibility of so doing, only serves to embarrass and ruin , ►unfortunate shareholders, guiltless, in nine cases out of ten, of any fault more heinous than the neglect to take into account, when embarking upon their various speculations', the fact that we have a currency system, the workings of which no man can foresee. The Liverpool Sharebrokers' Association ask for no more, on behalf of their clients, than what every man is doing in the conduct of his own business. They ask that shareholders should not be compelled, in a crisis when every prudent commercial man is contracting his opera,- tiono, to raise money, at usurious rates of interest. to pro secute the various lines in which they are engaged, or, as the alternative of refusing to do so, to sacrifice the pro perty, for which they have paid large sums, for a merely nominal consideration. They require, as an act of justice, that railway shareholders should not be held fast between two fires—the restriction of the ordinary facilities of bank accommodation on the one hand, and the rash haste of railway managements on the other. Admitted that some of the holders of railway stock have miscalculated their means. So have other men. So have all commercial men. So has the Bank of England itself. So has the legislature miscalculated the means of the entire public. The seasons have interposed to frustrate the best devised schemes of profit. Man proposes, but God only disposes. The directors of railway schemes ought not to be the only parties exonerated from the ordinary casualties of human projects. We are not for a moment disposed to admit that to res cue other parties from the results of speculation—to white wash the prophets of unbounded prosperity from the re sults of their rashness—to keep the bubble of free trade from bursting, or to afford the usual facilities for bill dis counters, and parties caught in the act of over-trading— the whole machinery of railway formation should be stop ped working. We know too well the vast amount of in dustry dependent upon the prosecution of railway works, which must by such a course be thrown upon its own re sources, or, more properly r upon the property of the coun try for support. But a judicious limitation of such works is quite possible—such a limitation as Mr. :Glyn, the chairman of the North Western Company, has pledged himself, and the vast concern which he represelits, to support. Railway directors may carry to completion ne cessary works. They may do more, where their consti tuencies are men of assured wealth. But the new com panies, who can only carry on by sueing their shareholders, should pause ; and the indignation and disgust of the community will follow any attempt to coerce the share holders into a contrary course. THE NEWCASTLE TRADE AND THE MONE- TARY PRESSURE Mr. Bell, M.P., has been instructed by a large and influential meeting of coalowners, merchants, manufac turers, shipowners, and others interested in the trade of the port of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and in the general trade of the United Kingdom, to represent to the Chancellor of the Exchequer the straits to which they were reduced, owing to the unsettled state of the money market. The reply of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was couched in the following terms : " I am afriiid that nothing in my power can prevent the con sequences of over-speculation and mistaken' calculation in trading matters, and there is nobody who , thinks that there is any want of circulation, or extraordinary pressure on the money market for houses in good credit." It will be perceived that an amendment to Mr. Bryans' proposition was moved by the chairman, Mr. Mallaby, to the effect that no overtures should be made by the Commissioners of Birkenhead to the Dock Trustees, or any other body, and that the resolution, on their part, of any proposal of sale was regarded by a majority of the commissioners as something approaching, in appearance, to " hawk ing" their property. At the same time, it was not concealed that they would readily treat with the Dock Trustees upon fair terms. The question, therefore, now resolves itself into one of punctilio. We beg to submit that the Dock Trustees of Li verpool can best of the two afford to waive such trifling where the interests-of the commerce of the port, which are those of the inhabitants on both sides of the river, are so largely involved. There need be no concealment of the fact, now, that the Cheshire people have failed in the effort to convert their property to the uses for which it is so admi rably adapted by nature._ Neither ought there to be any disposition on the part of any class of the people of Liverpool to twit them with such failure. A' little concession on both sides would very soon enable us to understand' each other, and to pull together amicably in a united effort to promote the commerce of both sides of the river, and the in terests of two communities which ought never to have been divided. What the world will say of a man, intrusted with the important duties of Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has the hardihood to say, "there is nobody who thinks theft there is any want of circulation, or extraordinary pressure on the money market for houserin good credit," we do not presume to guess. All that we can say upon the subject is that hundreds of people of good credit feel the pressure for money at the present moment. What wonder, therefore, that the Coal Trader-feels it ? Yet the • Times has the assurance to maintain that men who raise coal from the bowels of the earth—who have wages, royalties, freights. haulage, and other expenses to pay, and of course to receive pay for their produce,— have no right to be subject to the influence of a restricted currency, or its results, a high price of discounts. He says : "If " there are any branches of trade which might be supposed free from the commercial pressure around them, the miners, coalowners, and shipowners seem to stand a fair chance of that delightful exemption." Why these men should be exempt from " the commercial pressure around them" it bothers us to tell; and it will bother- wiser men.

HER MAJESTY'S RETURN FROM SCOTLAND It appears from the Scottish papers that her Majesty was to set out on Friday from Arberikie for Fort Wil liam—the first stage of the royal route to England. Cap tain Turner, an able master employed by a steam com pany in Glasgow, was engaged to steer the Fairy yacht from Fort Augustus to Inverness, and back to Tort Wil ham, on Thursday, when Prince Albert would join Her Majesty. The royal party were to sail on Saturday morning early, on board the Victoria and Albert, from the latter place to the western opening of the Crinan Canal. where the royal barge awaited them. The last stage of the sea journey was to be performed from Campbeltown Bay for Fleetwood, from which a railway ride of two hundred and thirty miles would bring the royal party to London. Great preparations have been made at Fleetwood to do ifonour to the royal personages. A beautiful archway, neatly and appropriately decorated, has been erected from the pier to the railway station, the royal arms being em blazoned over the doorway, with the inscriptions, " God save the Queen," and " Welcome to Fleetwood." A part of the wharf was converted into a saloon for the ac commodation of the authorities of the town, the directors of the railway, and others. Here it was arranged the Queen was to receive the address, and she was then to pass along a covered way, erected for the occasion, to the state carriage, which was stationed on a sliding in the yard behind the landing place. The sides of this were open and accommodation made on each side for parties who could see her Majesty, the Prince, and the royal children as they passed along it. Standing places were also made in an adjoining yard, and along the sliding on which the train proceeded. The whole of the way from the landing place to the sliding was covered with scarlet cloth, and the saloon was gorgeously decorated with floral and other devices, evergreens, Sze. ; also the words " Duchess of Lancaster " worked in laurel leaves. The whole town was profusely adorned with. flags. Fleetwood was full of company, for the conveyance of whom from the interior, liberal and extensive preparations were made by the railway company. Sir Hesketh Fleet wood, Bart., the founder of the town, and J. Abel Smith, Esq..., M.P., who is largely interested in its prosperity, were both there, as also J. Haywood, Esq., J. Wilson Patten, Esq., members for the county ; Wm. Gale, Esq., the high sheriff, &c. The beds at the inns were all en gaged at handsome prices; the lodging-houses were full, and the steam-packets in the harbour accommodated 300 persons with sleeping room. LATEST PARTICULARS tONDAY It was fully expected that her ihjesty would have ar rived in Fleetwood on Sunday evening, according to the arrangements which had been previously made, and to wards six o'clock she was consequently looked for by the numerous visitors to that place. She did not, however, arrive, and when the first railway train left Fleetwood yesterday morning, the royal squadron was not in sight, and no intelligence of its progress had been received at Fleetwood. The general impression was, that the bois terous state of the weather had impeded the royal progress. In the course of the day it was thought irobable that the squadron would arrive towards noon, but the Isle of Man packet, which arrived about twelve o'clock, reportod that there was . no Appearance of the royal squadron, and it was then considered almost cert&n that the voyage had been deferred to yesterday, and her Majesty's appearance was not expected until seven o'clock last evening. On Sunday afternoon her Majesty's state carriage, ac companied by two other carriages, arrived at Fleetwood by a special train from London. They were conveyed by an engine belonging to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail way Company. This engine, which is named the "Prince Albert," is an entirelytnew one, the present occasion being the first time it has been used. It is of immense size, and elegantly decorated for the occasion, having on it a mag nificent representation• of the royal arms. All the preparations for her Majesty's arrival were com plete on Saturday. ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN AT FLEEI'WOOD, Last night ( Monday), at about ten minutes past six o'clock, Her Majesty and the royal squadron entered the port of Fleetwood. About three o'clock in the afternoon, the Black Eagle was seen outside the river, in advance, and the information was soon conveyed to the authorities in Fleetwood that the squadron was approaching the harbour. About the hour of five o'clock, the whole fleet was seen about five or six-miles from Fleetwood, and the intelligence was conveyed to Preston, Manchester, and other places, by the electric telegraph. Shortly before six the squadron entered the river, and its arrival at the outer light house was announced by the firing. of cannon. The royal squadron quietly made its way down the channel, and soon passed the shore light housei, entering the harbour under a royal salute from the cannon planted opposite the North Eastern Hotel.. On her arrival opposite the pier, the Victoria and Albert yacht cast anchor, surrounded by the rest of the squadron. The squadron on its entrance' into the harbour was ac companied by a considerable number of the steamers be longing to the port, which, on the first announcement of the royal party being in sighti had gone out to meet them. Several, however, had left the port for that purpose in-the early part of the day. The...appearance of the river , on the approach of the squadron, and the vessels in attendance, was most• animating, and the immense crowds of spec tators-on the shore rendered the sight altogether-exceed ingly imposing. Her Majesty would sleep•last night on, board the royal yacht, and, according to the latest accounts, the debarka tion will take place at ten o'clock this morning, when the royal party will immediately proceed by railway to' Lon don.

Our market this morning was tolerably well supplied with Wheat by land-carriage samples from Essex, Ken', and Suffolk; the c:ernaud being great, however, factors found no difficulty in effecting sales at an advance of 4s. per quarter upon the quota tions of Monday last. The improvement of 2s. to 3s. per . qr. on foreign Wheat, and 2s. per barrel upon Flour, noted 00 Friday last, could not be exceeded this morning. Barley by means a free sale, but its value was about maintained. oa ts were in fair request, and in some instances U. to is. in OS money was made than on this day se'nnight. Beans dull, an d rather cheaper. White Boiling Peas scarce, and 3s. to O. dearer. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY. We have again a very large supply of Beasts as to number* but a considerable deficiency as to weight and quality. ,Tb e best descriptions are readily disposed of at advanced pnces• Inferior qtralities are a heavy sale, at about late rates.

There are several Calve ; on offer; they db not meet a ready sale, and prica rather lower.; From Holland and Germany we have 3,250 Sleep and 11 Calves. Pigs are selling quite as dear.

Thera, were no objections by 'either the Conservaties or Radica l ! in any of the out townships, and bat few claims—viz.r.'' in the Toxteth-park district. 2 in Kirkdale, and 4 111 _ Everton. In the Live r p oo l district the-Conservatives hu t ` few claims, and no objections. The Radical claims we l l ' not numerous, but they had made o bj e cti ons to .12(1 householders, and upwards of 300 freemen. Mr. Bremnarf _ _ solicitor, appeared for the Conservatives r and Mr. Hull, of the firm of Messrs. Fletcher and Hull, for thesßeformerg - The REVISING BARRISTER said he would-take the out townships first, and then proceed with the householder l in- the Liverpool list; and on Wednesday, he would take the freemen. The claimants for the out-town' ships were then gone into, some of which were allowed. Several were not present, and in these cases the' claims were adjourned: On-the objections made by the' Radicals being called upon, Mr - . BREMNER questioned:the validity of all the objections, in consequence of an informality i 0 the description of Mr. Hartley, the objector for the Ba" dicals. He contended that his description was not in accordance with the act of parliament. Mr. Hum.:repliedf and cited several precedents against Mr. Bremner's ob' jection'. The REVISING' BARRISTER overruled Mr. l?rera,! ner's objection, and held the description to be valid: Mr' Bremner then applied to • the learned barrister for per' mission to appeal against his decision. The Tlevisia Barrister said he would consider about it. The list 'l O5 then proceeded with, and. several of those objected 0 were struck - off - the list. In the coarse of the afternoon, the Revising Barrister intimated to the court, that he now considered the objection m-ade by Mr. Bremner, as to the informality of Mr. Hartley's description, to be valid,t anw n that consequently all the objections made by the rach Th must be quashed. H ere a l engthy argument arose, w''" ended in the learned barristerg . rantin3 permission to itir. Hull to appeal against his decinen, and we learn that the appeal will be put in to-day.
