THE BRITISH QUEEN AND PRESIDENT STEAM-SHIPS From the "aval and Military Gazette) , - What must be considered the failure of the 2000 tons steam-vessels British Queen and President, from which so much was expected, has given rise to a good deal of controversy in naval circles as to the cause which has produced so unfortunate and unlooked-for a circumstance. As no matter can be more interesting to naval men than what relates to steam navigation, we have been at pains to collect such data as will enable them to form opinions and draw deductions with greater certainty than they can do wanting this necessary information. Both the vessels in question were built at Limehouse, by Messrs. Curling and Young. Their dimensions and tonnage are some what alike, the British Queen being about ten feet longer, but having a deck less than the President ; the power of the latter is represented as that of GOO horses, while the former has only a power of 500, or according to - gime accounts 450 horses. The engines of the President were made by Messrs. Fawcett and Preston, of Liver pool ; those of the British Queen by Messrs. Robert Napier and Co., of Glasgow ; and both are represented as beautiful pieces of machinery. It is evident that in these two vessels there is a great disparity of power for torn ge ; but it is remarkable that, although both have repeatedly made tedious passages, the President is the most unfortunate of the two, and when she left New York on the 11 th ult. had only twenty-seven passengers on board. The vessels provided by Mr. Cunard for the Halifax line, which have made and continue to make the passage so regularly, were built in the Clyde, by Messrs. Duneans and Messrs. Steele, of Greenock, and Messrs. J. Wood and C. Wood, of Port Glasgow ,and Dumbarton. They are all, we believe, of nearly the same dimensions, and about 1100 tons, with engines of 420 horse power. ,tate these particulars in order that our naval friends - - • - may be the better able to draw their inferences ; for in steam navigation, like everything else, there must be some rule of horse power for tonnage (supposing all vessels to be constructed on the best model), which will apply with the most profit, over or under which it would not be proper to go. On comparing the British and American Company's vessels with Mr. Cunard's, there appears a very great disparity ; for the vessels of the latter have, as relates to the President one-third more, and in the case of the British Queen nearly double the horse-power, to propel the same weight in tons ; and this on the face of ough to account for their greater speed, and cer tainly of accomplishing the voyage in weather when the others would be obliged to abandon their course, or una ble to make head against a gale. Cunard's vessels have also the advantage of being built of scantling sufficient to bear a heavy armament ; and this, so far from being de trimental to their speed or efficiency, turns out precisely the reverse ; for while the British Queen was obliged to suspend work for some months, and undergo repairs which cost several thousand pounds, after running for one season only, the others have neither strained nor started anything, and will, like our vessels of war constructed with stout scantling on improved principles, probably continue to run for years before the hull requires repair. Our readers will recollect, that when Mr. Young (of the firm of Curling and Young) sat in Parliament for Tyne mouth, that gentleman never let slip an opportunity of lenouncing Sir William Symonds' system of ship-building. We believe this was done from conscientious views, and that he was imposed on by certain members of the ci devant school of naval architecture, who boasted that they crammed him fo r th e nonce. N ow, we fi n d h ow . . much ..ier it is to preach than to practise ; for although tt draught of these vessels was, we believe, furnished "r( Somerset House at the request of the company, 'h , er owing to the want e : n ,or other fault in the const s r t u re c n ti shortgttll:l; we e r fin si d ze the o t f air s became necessary in a verytime after the ,sels left the builder's yard. It ap l peaorstes,ith 400 o e us that yes.

The construc tion of these large steamers was designed on the score of economy, on the assumption that the same establishment, with a small increase of seamen and stokers, would suffice to work a vessel of double the size. But this may be an At all events, the experience to be derived from voyages of the British Queen and President does not Z4l",,nt us altering the opinion we recorded in these PaKeCiy4en first those vessels were designed. ,can din g TO VIA P t 4(1111' NON , :1404P RtrissPLL From the London Standard.) MY LORD,-4 have read with feelings of a4rmishment and grief the followg words, attributed by the reporter of the 4 Morning Chronicle to your lordship, in the recent debate on the Jews Declaration Bill:—" Why a member of the Jewish persuasion should not be at liberty to say, ' I see around me many persons belonging to the christian religion, who have no means of obtaining the benefits of worship and instruction , according to the peculiar creed of their communion. I will give you the means of obtaining the opportunities of such worship and instruction, because I not only think it would be a benefit to them in a worldly point of view, but also be cause I think they should be made good christians, rather than be heathens without any religion at all.' (Cheers.) Is there anything extraordinary in this? Is there anything other than the display of great wisdom and prudence, as well as personal liberality ?- (Cheers.) In addressing your lordship on the substance of these words, I am not about to enter on any political speculations. As a minister of our holy faith, it suits not the solemn objects to which my life is devoted, to mingle in the turmoil of this world's debate. Nor am I about to offer an opinion on the immediate point at issue. Your lordship has thought proper to put forth what is manifestly a cardinal principle, and one that seems very popular in a quarter to which we are taught to look with some reverence ; but which appears to me so irreconcileable to the declared will of God, that I cannot rest till I have unburdened my heart on the subject. The princi ple is this, that it is within the functions of wisdom, prudence, and a well-directed liberality to contribute to the support of a religion we believe to be a blasphemy, rather than leave our neighbour without any religion at all. I put the principle in an abstract form that it may be the better appreciated. And lam justified in so doing—for it is plain that to a Jew the worship of our Divine Redeemer appears a blasphemy, and, consequently, that if his conscience be not violated by the support of such worship, conscience can be under no obliga tion, in this respect, relative to any worship whatsoever. It were trifling, my lord, with such a subject, were I to stop to express my wonder at your lordship's unaccustomed boldness in this gratuitous infliction on your dissenting friends, whose oft-invoked scruples are thus unceremoniously dismissed, and the storm these words must raise amongst the enemies of the Established Church of every kind whose " delenda est Carthago" is hereby set at nought. Sweeping as is their condemnation of every foe to the establishment, they are not a whit the more acceptable to its best and truest friends. They amount, however, unintentionally, to an abrogation of conscience. They make it matter, practically, of very secondary importance, to say the least, whether a man's religion be true or false, provided only in his estima tion it be a religion. They put God's claim out of the question. They leave men at liberty to countenance the grossest imposture that may muscat itself religion, if they can but derive from it a temporary benefit to the community. They would bind this country to the support, I will not say of St. Sulpice, or Maynooth, but of Juggernaut. They dethrone truth. These are not light words, my lord, nor lightly written ; nor is it without the deepest respect for your lordships un wearied devotedness to the public weal that I employ them. If I am wrong in thus characterising the principle involved in your lordship's speech, I will undergo any consequences from which pure intentions cannot shield me. If lam right, how much of the architecture of modern politics must want its key-stone ? Whether lam right or wrong let the " ora cles of God" determine. St. John, the apostle, commonly styled, of love, has writ ten (2 Epistle 10 verse), " If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed ; for he that biddeth him God speed, is partaker of his evil deeds." Now I have said that the principle mu it be tested in its abstract form. It is obvious that if a Jew is o make no conscience of refusing assistance to Christian wo ship, a Christian on the other side is to make none as to Jewish. Your lordship, then, so far differs from this inspired apostle, that, whether bidding him God speed or not, you would find him a house to preach any " other doctrine," provided only you thought that doctrine better than none. St. Paul goes further. He says (Gal. i. 8) " Though we or an angel from Heaven preach any other gospel than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." And as if this were not enough on a subject so momentous, he adds, " As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him he accursed." Your lordship seems of so totally different a mind from this Apostle, also (the writer, be it re membered, of the oft misquoted description of charity), that you would not only not say amen to his inspired sentence of reprobation, but deem it an evidence of humane and well. directed liberality to build such a man a place, did not pecuniary obstacles forbid, in which to preach some other gospel. St. James says (v. 19), " If any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him, let him know that he which con verteth a sinner from the error of his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins." Do not your lordship's words imply that you are so far from any idea of thus hiding the multitude of sins, that you would call it wise, prudent, humane, and liberal, to assist a man in his error, and so seal his condemnation ? St. Peter (2 Epistle, ii. 1), speaks of "false teachers privily bringing in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruc tion." I will not believe that your lordship thinks lightly of this destruction, or imagines that denying the Lord cannot bring it, yet I find your lordship laying down a principle that would furnish a conventicle for any heresy, if it contained nothing worse than that denial of the Lord. Lastly, St. Paul (2 Thess. ii. 11), speaking of those who " receive not love of the faith," says that, " for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie ; that they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." Your lord ship's words are again in melancholy contrast with apostolic declarations, for they proceed on the principle that error is not damnable, inasmuch as it does not result from enmity to the truth or love of unrighteousness, and that consequently a man of humanity, wisdom, and well-directed liberality, is acting as it becomes him, when he encourages his neighbour in what he believes to be a strong delusion, since it is better both for society and for himself that be should have a false religion than that he should have none at all. I will not ask, my lord, from what authorised standard of truth, or from what code of laws that will abide the issue of the Great Assize, principles can be derived which flatly con tradict the words of the Holy Ghost, nor how far the cheers I of even a British House of Commons will be audible when the " Judge of quick and dead" is on His " great white throne," This, my lord, I will say, that it becomes those who respect, as I believe your lordship sincerely does, the authority of that tribunal, to frame their thoughts and feel ings, no less in matters social than personal, on God's re vealed will. We live in times when men make bold to lay down laws for themselves ; we hear strange notions of right and wrong, and see strange virtues, unknown to inspiration, held up to public gaze. And in no respect is there a more monstrous departure from truth than in the harlotry which has baptised herself with the sacred name of charity. It is now more than insinuated that to believe all men sincere alike, is charity—to hold that " there is" not " a way that seemeth right unto a man, the end of which are the ways of death," is charity—to maintain that " if the blind lead the blind they shall' not " both fall into the ditch," is charity —to act as if to believe a lie is not damnation, to flatter a fellow-creature in that lie, and to help to fasten it upon him, is charity. What shall we say ? This is not charity, my lord. Charity is a Christian, not a heathen virtue, Charity cannot strew garlands at every festival called religious, for she is the offspring of Him who has emphatically spoken of " the way, and the truth, and the life. ' It is not charity then, but a cold-blooded complaisance, to act or to speak as if there were more. No, my lord, I must not mistake such blood-guiltiness for charity. if my neighbour be in error, however deep and deadly, I will remember the while that he is my neighbour notwithstanding. I will care for him—re lieve his wants—consult his happiness—respect his rights— debar him from no privileges, whether civil or social, to which, as a fellow-subject and fellow-citizen, he is entitled. I will respect his conscience even in error; but beyond this I cannot go. If I flatter his prejudices—if I strengthen his delusions—if I minister to his rejection of the one only Name whereby he can be saved, I violate charity, whilst I outrage truth. I sin against his soul, whilst defiling my own. This, my Lord, is the law of love, which I read in God's Word. I need not, sprely, vindicate it from the manifest misconstruction, that if so it be, I cannot, even in obedience to civil authority, contribute to a religion which I do not approve. Between voluntary contribution sind the payment of tribute there is, it seems to me, so broad a distinction, that the same principle cannot without violence be applied indiscriminately to both. That Apostle who forbade us to wish false doctrine God speed, paid, undoubtedly, his quota, as his Divine Master instructed him, to the Roman tax gatherer. Nor was his conscience burdened by its appro priation to heathen worship. His conscience bade him "obey every, ordinance of man." Had he lived, as it is your hap piness, my Lord, and mine, to live,ibeneath a constitutional government, doubtless he bad protested against such appro priation, and used every constitutional means to make his protest available. But having done this, his conscience was free. Ile went to prison, not for refusing legal tribute, but for withholding personal worship. His Patmos was there fore enlightened by visions, to which, fear, some modern martyrs are strangers. I have thus, my Lord, endeavoured to discharge a duty to which the love both of God and man prompted me ; and I can unfeignedly say that in doing so, I have not been with out a deep sense of the patriotism by which I believe your Lordship's conduct here, and in other matters is actuated. I have been compelled to express sentiments widely differing from those which are attributed to your Lordship ; but this cannot deprive me of the right, any more than of the dispo sition, to subscribe myself, with very sincere respect, My Lord, your Lordship's obedient humble servant, Clifton, March, 1811. EDWARD YOUNG. PARISH AND PRISON PEDAGOGUES. — TIC WarWifjc guar dians, the other day advertised for a tailor-teacher, to rnQuld the minds and clout the clothes of the juvenile paupers. In York Castle, we vow learn, the magistrates employ a shaving schoolmaster who instructs the prisoners at one time, and at another shaves them, at the liberal rate of FIVE BEARDS for a FARTHING DEPOSIT MONEY AT AUCTIONS. - At Cambridge a case came on for hearing which excited very considerable interest. It was an action brought by Mr. Barley, a highly respect able solicitor of the Isle of Ely, against Mr. Cutts, also a so licitor, Mr. Sandle, a gentleman of property, and Mr, Smith, an opulent member of the Society of Friends, to recovar back deposit money at an auction, upon the alleged ground that the plaintiff had been induced, by a conspiracy between Sandie and Cutts, to employ Smith as a " puffer," or in the Cambridge vocabulary " a setter," at the auction, to give a higher price for certain lots than he would otherwise have given.—lt appeared that in the course of the year 1839, cer tain landed estates left by the will of Miss Susannah Mat thews, spinster, were put up to auction by the trustees, in the assembly-room of the Griffin Hotel, in March—Sandle being the vendor, and Cutts the solicitor employed. On that occasion a large number of persons were bidders, and the competition in some of the lots was carried on with greet eagerness, so that the estates, which sold for upwards of £BO,OOO brought a larger price by some thousands than had been anticipated. Among the purchasers was Mr. Barley, the plaintiff, who bought two lots, numbered , ;0 and 50 ; but when the time came to complete the purchase, at Michael mas, he thought he had paid more for his bargain than it was worth, and was the more induced to believe that to be the case from having put up one of the lots in small parcels, and found no purchasers, or none whose terms he could ac cept. A report was circulated in March that, contrary to the conditions of the sale, " puffers" or " setters" had been employed to take advantage of ther eagerness of competition among the real bidders, and run up the price. Suspicion rested upon Mr. Smith, the quaker, who took up a conspi cuous situation in front of the orchestra, and bid away most lustily. Lot 50 was knocked down for £2,880 to Mr. Bar ley ; and upon its being so knocked down " the quaker" asserted that the bidding was his, and demanded that the lot should be put up again, but after some altercation the auctioneer declined to do that, and Mr. Barley remained the " fortunate" purchaser. It was this very lot that gave rise to all the litigation that followed. The main facts relied upon to prove that Mr. Smith belonged to the fraternity of puffers, were his not denying that he was related to the Gurneys of Norwich, when some inquisitive persons wished to know who he was, and his travelling . about the country in a mysterious manlier, and not habited In the usual dress of a quaker. It appeared, however, that he had done consider able business as a purchaser of land. and as to Mr. Sandle, the vendor, it WAS not shown that he had ever seen the de fendant Smith before his going in March to attend the sale. Under these circu ms t ances, the jury returned a verdict for the defendants. Th e t r i a l lasted two days, and Mr. Thesi ger was specially ret a i ne d b y Mr. Cat and Mr. Sandie with a fee of 300 guineas, ROMAN CATfIpLIC LOYAL,TY (From the IYlorning Herald.) .The old bell-wether of sedition in 'lreland was nev v y incq . o e. fictively ; employed than at present in impressing upon tlie 'Romanist portion of her majesty's subjects those peculiar notions of loyalty which popery, under a protestant sceptre, always either secretly or openly cultivates. The removal from the Roman catholics of all those politi .. Kcal disabilities which were incurred by repeated treasons 4igainst the state and liberties of England, instead of render ing them grateful for the liberality which as opened to them all the privileges, power, and honors of our protestant con stitution, has only served to bring forth in bold relief the inveterate animosity of a race, who are taught by their -priests to hate and curse the protestant hand by which they have been loaded with favours. Sentiments are now uttered by the popish priests and political leaders against protestant institutions which were kept closely sealed up until the " healing measure " of 1829 passed. "Let only that measure become law," said Mr. Brougham, alluding to the popish relief bill, in the House of Commons, and I will answer with my head for the tranquillity of Ire land." No doubt Mr. Brougham devoutly believed what he said, for the promises and vows of eternal gratitude made by O'Connell and the priests, imposed on his easy credulity. But had he been taken at his word, his head would not have remained long on his shoulders. In the first winter after the passing of the Relief Bill, O'Connell commenced his system of warfare on the protest- ant church, which has been 'continued with more or less vio lent and ferocious hostility ever since. Ten protestant bishop pries were extinguished by the act of a protestant parlia ment to gratify him. It only made his demands more inso lent—his hostility more savage. One fourth of the property of the protestant clergy of Ireland was sacrificed to appease him. It only made him, in the arrogance of his vanity, de clare that he accepted of the concession only as " an instal ment," and that he would never rest until he had obtained a surrender of the whole. The Protestant liberality of our legislators was not discou raged by those results. It proceeded still further to pamper the blatant beast of Popish agitation by transferring to O'Connell's faction the Protestant corporations of Ireland. When the fatal act which surrendered to the haters of the " Saxon" race, name and religion, those strongholds of Pro testant principle, shall have come into full operation, the political condition of ireland will be worse than ever. In vested with the attributes of lawful authority, the " normal schools of political agitation" will become formidable auxilia ries in the great work of dismembering the empire, under pretence of securing to Ireland the advantages of a domestic legislature. Mr. Moore, the poet, describes a scene which took place iff the University of Dublin when Lord Chancellor Clare visited that establishment in the year 1798, in order to inquire into and extirpate the treason which had found admission there, and was daily spreading its infectious influence over the minds of the students. Mr. Moore seems to think it was a harsh proceeding. It was a merciful one. It saved many a young man from plunging down the precipice on the brink of which he stood, and rescued the dupe before he became the victim. _ _ . . But times are altered. Treason need no longer hide its head, and skulk in darkness, muffled in the dark mantle of secret conspiracy. It can go forth unscathed in the public ways, and proclaim its designs upon the hill-top. It can talk of seducing soldiers and sailors from their duty, and from their allegiance to the British Crown, and exult in the prospect of a French war, in which Roman Catholic loyalty is to manifest its true nature by withdrawing from the defence of the country. This is going beyond even Robert Emmett, the young republican enthusiast, who headed the Irish in surrection in 1803. He called upon his countrymen with his dying voice to " meet the French invaders of their country with a sword in one hand and a torch in the other—to grap ple with them on the shore—to burn every blade of grass before them, and never to lay down their arms while a French enemy polluted the soil of Ireland." The Irish traitors of the present day are ready to welcome an invasion from France or any other power that would enable them to show their love for England by separating from her cause, and " whistling off" all Roman Catholic soldiers and sailors from her fleets and armies. We have been often told that these are not the sentiments of the great body of respectable Roman Catholics of the empire. But have those respectable Roman Catholics taken any steps to denounce and disavow the treasonable sentiments of persons who put themselves forward as the political leaders of the whole Romanist community ? Have they separated themselves from the faction leaders and the rabble at their heels, whom a vigorous and able and honest Government would in pure mercy make to feel the authority of the laws, before Ireland becomes another Canada, and the catastro phe of rebellion is written, as it was there, in letters of fire and blood ? While Roman Catholics are pampered and preferred at the Queen's court, and consulted in the Queen's councils, a bigoted and intolerant faction, whom no Protestant kindness or concessions can ever conciliate, have got to such a pitch of audacity as to question indirectly the Queen's title to the Crown. This is the grateful return which Queen Victoria receives for lavishing favour and honours upon Roman Ca tholics, and in many instances preferring them to her faithful Protestant subjects. We were not aware of the existence of, a'Romish journal, entitled the London and Dublin Orthodox, until it was brought under the notice of the public by Mr. Lord, at a meeting of the Marylebone Protestant Association, which was reported in our columns of yesterday. Mr. Lord quoted a passage from that publication, which ought to open the eyes of Protestants, even the most liberal, to the ulterior designs which are contemplated by the subtle policy of that serpent of Popery which is cherished in the bosom of Protestantism only to sting its benefactor. Mr. Lord observed that " The passage, which was cunningly given in a letter pur porting to be from a correspondent, appeared to be put forth as a sort of feeler respecting the right of her Most Gracious Majesty to the throne of these realms : and in these days of menace, when it was exultingly declared that the first can non fired by Great Britain in the prosecution of a war, how ever just, would be a signal for the emancipation of Ireland, the meeting would know what weight to attach to such a passage.'' The passage in question is as follows. The writer is speak ing of the king of the French, and goes on to say— " I often wonder bow affairs would now stand in England if he were King, for it isno#,perhapc generally known that he has GREATER. CLAIM to the British throne than Queen Victoria, being descended from the eldest son of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia (daughter to James I.), while Victoria is descended from the younger daughter." The "feeler" here is put forth in pretty plain and unam biguous terms. That this is treason, being either advisedly • spoken or published in writing, we could easily show, did we not fear that it would attract towards the writer the especial favour of those who have the political destinies of the country in their hands. We do not wish to be the means of recom mending him to preferment in a government office, or to some other honourable and lucrative post. If Louis Philip has a greater claim than queen Victoria to the throne of the British empire, then the act of settlement is so much waste paper, and does not require a bull from Rome to cancel and revoke it. TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK.-THURSDAY Henry Dixon, a young man of colour, came before the sitting magistrates, Sir J. Cowan and Mr. Alderman Lucas, for the purpose of making the following application. Dixon commenced by saying that he was a native of Up per Canada, and at the time of the Canadian rebellion was a steward on board one of the passage boats which plied be tween Buffalo and the city of Rochester, near the falls of Niagara; that in the month of December last he came over to England in the British Queen under the expectation of ob taining employment, but in that he had failed, and he was now anxious to return to Upper Canada, but he wanted the means of doing so. After some conversation between the magistrate and the applicant, the latter was requested to get a certificate to the effect that his name appeared in the list of passengers by the British Queen. Dixon accordingly left the office, and returned in the course of an hour with the necessary document. Upon read ing it the worthy alderman desired Ager to draw out a me morial for Dixon. Ager accordingly proceeded to act upon the alderman's in structions, when Dixon gave the following highly interesting narrative relative to his connexion with the British forces, from which it appeared that he played a very impel tant part during the rebellion. At the time of the outbreak he was living as waiter at the Eagle Tavern, Buffalo, which enabled him to be well acquainted with the state of parties, and, 1 knowing that the Epglish Government had no forces at Fort Erie, he made up his mind to yolunteer. He was induced to do this in consequence of the manner in which all persons of colour were treated by the Americans. Upon his first cross ing over to Fort Erie he saw Captain Roberts, and after he had had two or three interviews with that gentleman he got his fellow-companions to cross over, all of whom took up arms. Ile was subsequently employed by Colonel Kirby to go over to Buffalo, for the purpose of obtaining information as to what was going on, especially as M`Kenzie was there beating up for volunteers. From the facilities which he pos sessed he was enabled to convey most important information to Colonel Kirby as to the plans and intentions of the rebels. Amongst the persons with whom he was acquainted was an exciseman of the name of Graham, who was a staunch parti san of the rebels, and, at the request of Graham, he assisted him two days before the destruction of the Caroline. He cut her out of the ice at Blackrock. There were pork, flour, and other provisions put on board of her; about three dozen of muskets and the cannon (of which so much has been said); and Graham then wanted him to go on board, observing that as it was known that he was a volunteer the vessel could pro ceed in safety. He, however, declined the offer, and as soon as he could get away from Graham he'returned to Fort Erie and told Colonel Kirby what was intended to be done. Upon this information the British acted, and two days after wards the Caroline was burnt. He afterwards occasionally went to Buffalo, for it was not known that he had made any communication to the English respecting the destruction of the Caroline. In the course of the following summer Capt. Paget advised him to come over to England, where the gal lant captain told him that he could do much better than in America, and he would assist him as far as it was in his power to obtain a situation. It was from these observations of the gallant captain he had been induced to come to Eng land, and had it not been for his illness no doubt he would have been able to obtain a situation before this time. His intention of returning home arose not from any inclination, but from necessity, as he was now destitute. Dixon, who appears to be about 24 or 25 years of age, and exceedingly intelligent, was informed that if his account was true, no doubt existed but that he would find some employ ment in England, as there were several who would be most anxious to reward him for the part he had taken during the rebellion in Canada, and was desired to attend again in the course of a few days at the office, by which time some in formation would be obtained as to the truth of his state ment. Dixon replied that what he had stated would bear the strictest investigation, and by the desire of Mr. Alderman Lucas he left his address with Kinsey, the chief officer of the establishment. DETENTION OF THE FALMOUTH PACKETS AT RIO DE JANEIRO. (Front the Jornal do annmereio, of Feb. 21.) This morning, at II o'clock, it was officially announced that the packet Penguin was detained until the 26th instant, and this is not the first time that almost at the last hour such notice has been given. We are ignorant of the motives which may exist for hiding with so much care from the merchants, until the lastest mo ment, an intention to postpone the departure of a packet; but we know that it causes great inconvenience to commerce, because all operations in the exchanges depend essentially upon the departure of the packets. If the packets do not come to the Brazils exclusively for the benefit of the two nations, if commercial interests were also contemplated when they were established, we request, on behalf of the merchants and others, that any alteration be communicated with th e u t mos t promp which may be ma de res p ectin g th e day appointed for their titude. sailing hence may • The system of detaining the packets at Rio de Janeiro has grown to such a height, that the abuse calls loudly for the interference of the home authorities. Her Majesty's packet Penguin, instead of remaining 14 days at Rio, as stipulated and customary, was actually 3-1 days in Rio harbour, and was then dispatched in the evening, when the tide and sea breeze rendered it dangerous to pass out of the bay. This state of things is so common, that the merchants are completely sickened therewith ; for, it is said, should an underling of the Foreign-office be invited out to dinner, the putting off the sailing of the packet is an ease matter. SECOND EDITION. Standard-ffice, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY, (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) The arrivals up to and since Friday last, contain a liberal supply of Wheat and Malt, with a few parcels of Barley, Beans, and Flour roundland ; the former consisting partly of duty paid foreign Wheat from London : but, exclusive of a fair quantity of Oatmeal, the receipts of Irish produce are small. Of foreign grain, wholly from the north of Europe. the imports of the week are only moderate, and those of - Flour, chiefly from New Orleans, 4,445 barrels. Although the weather has become sufficiently cold to check vegetation, the trade in the leading markets of this district last week was very inanimate ; which, and the decline in London yesterday, seems to increase the late depression complained of here.—We have accordingly to note a further declension in the value of all descriptions of Wheat to-day, thereby reducing the best qualities of English, Irish, and foreign 3d, and inferior descriptions 4d to 6d per 701bs be low the rates of this day se'nnight ; which, inducing the millers to purchase rather more freely, sales to a moderate extent were effected. English and Irish Flour receded ls. per sack, and foreign, paid, 6d. per barrel, with an extremely dull sale for In bonded Flour the transactions since Friday are stated to be 400 barrels at 235., and 250 at 235. 6d. Barley, Malt, and Beans, upon a very limited demand, were Is. per quarter cheaper ; and Pease hardly supported late prices. The holders of Oats, in order to meet the views of buy ers, submitted to an abatement of ld to 2d per 451bs, at which a moderate amount of business resulted. Oatmeal, on the contrary, was extremely difficult of sale, although offered at a decline of Gd to is per 240 lbs.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, 3 P.M. We have scarcely had sufficient demand to-day to cte ti tute a market, and we may safely estimate the sales a t less than 1,000 bales, principally in American descriptions, from 6d. to 7d. The market is considered firm, and prices steady. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. It is understood that the Taff Vale Railway will be opened throughout—namely, from Cardiff to Merthyr, on Wednes day or Thursday next. The Cheltenham and Great Western Railway was expected to be opened on the 2Gth instant, but in consequence of some slips which have taken place on the Cheltenham branch, it is now considered impracticable to have it ready so soon. SOUTH EASTERN AND DOVER RAILWAY.—We are glad to witness the progress of this important line. The Dover Chronicle says, " The stupendous works on this railway, between Dover and Folkestone, have been actively resumed this spring by a large force of workmen. The sea walls, the cuttings and tunnelling beyond, towards Folkestone. are also in a forward state, while the other parts of the line at its London end, are also proceeding vigorously• PARIS AND ROUEN RAILWAY.—The Paris and Rouen people are making way. The Havre Journal, in noticing the arrival of waggons and workmen for the Paris and Rouen Railway in that port, says that the waggons have been hired from the London and Southampton Company at a much lower price than they could possibly have been in France, and that the workmen who have been sent over, are all ehozon from the most sober and laborious of their class that could be found in England. _ _ _ The total number of petitions presented up to the 2d of April, against the tax on railway passengers was 30. The report of the Select Committee on petitions, describes them as praying " for the modification of the tax upon railway passengers from a fixed rate per head, to a scale varying with the rate of fare. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway shares, which had, in consequence of the disputes among the Directors of the Company, declined to 10s. per share, have, since the happy adjustment of these disputes, made a start of £2 per share, " with a good demand," say the brokers, "at this ad vanced price," EXTRAORDINARY LOCOMOTIVE PERFORMANCES. — The Pilot, locomotive engine, built by Messrs. W. and A. Kitch ing, Darlington, in 27 working days, (March, 1841) travelled 3712 miles, or 1371 miles per day, and hauled a gross weight of 13,856 tons, consisting of 6964 tons of coals ; and weight of waggons 6892 tons. Total weight 13,856 tons.—The Middlebro', locomotive engine, built by Mr. W. Lister, Darlington, travelled in the same time 3665 miles, or 135 k miles per day ; and hauled gross weight 12,987 tons, consist ing of 65 - 12 tons of coals, and weight of waggons 644 5 tons ; making the total weight hauled, 12,987 tons.

The sales of the week amount to 26,260 bales, of which ex porters have taken 3,200 American and 200 Pernams, and speculators 1,500 American. We close as to prices much on a par with Friday last. COTTON MARKET, APRIL 17. Another quiet day in our Cotton market, and not more than 2005 bales have been sold at yesterday's prices. The business has been confined almost exclusively to American descriptions from 64d to 74d. 250 bales are placed to export. The market closes quiet and void of animation. MONDAY EVENING We have had another very quiet day in our market very little demand, and the amount of business is estimated from 2000 to 2300 bales, at last week's prices, if any change in a market like this it is always in favour or the buyer. o, <-,-;',.. .

The transactions in Rum are limited to 1.9 at the quotations Tea.—The news by the overland mail placed the market in a very unsettled state; the few transactions that have taken place are at a decline of fully 2d per lb on all common kinds; in the better sorts nothing has been done, The public sales of Indigo brought forward on the Sth instant comprised 24 chests Bengal, 23 Oude, 49 Bombay Fig, and 164 serons Caracca ; the Bengal sold at a reduction of 3d per lb, and in some instances rather more for consuming qualities, which ranged from 43 Sd to 5s 9d ; about 3 chests shippers went at Gs 2d to 8s lod ; none of the Oude or Fig found buyers ; subsequently, however. 35 chests of the latter were taken, but the price as not transpired. Of the Caracca 143 serons sold steadily, good and sobres realizing 5s 6d to 8s 2d, and ordinary and middling 4s 8d to Is 5d per lb in bond.

Turpentine has declined 3d to 6d per cwt., lls 9d being the highest bid for 500 brls: of good quality which were offered on Tuesday, and which not being accepted, are going into store. For American Tar there is a moderate de mand, and for 1000 brls., just landed, 14s to 14s 6d has been given from the quay. Montreal Pot Ashes are lower, 28s 6d having been accepted for new Ashes ; 300 to 400 brls. of an old import have also been sold at some slight reduction.

In Brimstone some small sales have been made at £9 per ton, and in one instance, at a reduction on the first price, from the ship side. Nothing worthy of notice has been reported in Sumac.

About 20 casks brown Tartar have beeen sold at 50s to 525, as in quality, and a few casks of Cream of Tartar at 80s to 815 per cwt. No alteration in Madders or Roots. 60 hds. Quercitron Bark were sold at previous rates. The demand for Olive Oil, which for some weeks past has been limited, has this week revived, and the sales have reached upwards of 100 tuns ; of which 50 were Sicily Oil at -€67, the rest Trieste, Mogadore and Galipoli ; these sales include some parcels brought coastwise, as well as by Dealers, and have reduced•the disposable stock here to a narrow compass. In Fish Oils there is no alteration to notice, except a rather improved demand for Cod, and .e 26 would now be given, but that price is generally refused. Pale Rape and Linseed Oils have been dull during the week, but no alteration can be made in the quotations. Oil of Turpentine continues without inquiry, except for retail quantities. The sales of Palm Oil have again been extensive, upwards of 1000 tons having been sold, chiefly at £34 to £34 ss, but small lots have realized -€34 108 to ..€'34 15s ; a good inquiry continues, in part for exportation. In Hemp no transactions are reported, but the Government contract having been taken at full prices, as given a firmer appearance to the market; 300 bales of Jute sold at Xl3 15s to .€l4 per ton.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 16 In the commencement of the week, after the arrival of the over land mail from India, with intelligence of the settlement of the disputes with China, there was a good demand, both from the Trade and Exporters, with some inquiry also for speculation, and prices of American and Surat advanced id per lb ; but this im provement not being followed up by any better feeling In the Man chester Trade, since Tuesday the demand has been very moderate, and the market closed heavily at last week's quotations for all descriptions, excepting the good qualities of American, which are scarce, and in demand for export. 1500 American have been taken on speculation, 3200 American and 200 Pernambuco for export.

The present high price will be supported, in all probability, until supplies become more abundant. There is none of last seasons Butter left, except a lot or two of very stale. We do not hear of any speculatfve pur chases of barrelled provisions, and the demand,—at tolerably sustained prices, —is confined to ship stores. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT. MADDER, 19 , cwt.
