FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. Monday Morning. WE are here in a state of collapse—mentally and physi cally, politically and socially. Atter having indulged in an inordinate bout of excitement, and over-exerted all our faculties, we are paying the penalty of our excesses by undergoing that prostration of spirits and langour of body which are sure to follow an unwonted exercise of our powers. We are pretty much in the condition of those who, having quaffed intoxicating draughts of rosy port wine at night, wake in the morning exhausted, and de pressed, and gloomy, and head-achy, and dissatisfied with the past, the present, and the future. It was very pleasant, and jolly, and exhilarating, no doubt, while the " spree" lasted, but it requires a little time and some suf fering to recover our ordinary state of equanimity and tranquil course of every-day existence. we indulge at right in -" Champagne and laughter, Sermons and soda-water the day after" are the inevitable consequences. Great stakes have just been played for, the running has been close and sharp, and calculated to awaken the liveliest interest; the betting has been heavy, and the losses and the gains have been considerable on both sides. While we wera in the full flush of the contest, and the blood was dancing in the veins, it was perfectly delightful ; but now that we have to square our accounts quietly, and arrange our books, and pay our debts, sangfroid, we are wonderfully sobered, and become, taking us as a whole community, decidedly grave, and inclined to regard things on the gloomy side. It is curious to observe what a complete change has come over the tone of society within the last few days. A week ago all were buoyant and roisterous, and hopeful and energetic, and full of glorious animal spirits. Then men everywhere talked of a magnificent harvest, of national peace and prosperity, of a flourishing exchequer, and without reference-to the question who would or should be minister, of a splendid prospect of wealth and greatness, and progress of all desirable sorts ? Now, we have suddenly, and without rhyme or reason, become a set of croakers, and wear faces as long and dismal as that of Sir FRANCIS BARING when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Whigs, and sat " by the bottomless pit of deficiency fishing for a budget." Now we hear draary forebodings about falling funds, about non-paying railways, about fast-coming cholera, about thick-brewing fishery wars with America, about secret continental treaties and impending European con vulsions, about the " great potato rot," and, in short, about everything disastrous and doleful. An unaccountable panic has seized us all. A poet would say— " It is the very error of the moon : She comes more near the earth than she was wont, And makes men mad." My plain prosaic notion is, that the present is the tem porary depression that naturally succeeds a period of extraordinary excitement, and that we shall return to common sense and our usual healthy spirits by and bye. I know some fellows who have reason to look glum—the BERNAL OSBORNES and the like, who have no end of electioneering bills to pay. But there never was a moment when the people at large had greater cause for being merry, or when the nation was in a better train, and under better guidance. In such a distempered state of the public mind, the number of rumours, or, as the Parisians call them, canards, that are set flying about is incalculable ; but none is so ridiculous that it will not find some gobemouche to swallow it. Only fancy the crafty old Times giving wing to such an absurd story as that the PRIME MINISTER turned off a trio of tenants at Bury because they would not vote for his enemy, FREDDY PEEL—a member of the late RUSSELL government ! To make this canard more monstrous, the tenants referred to turn out, upon inquiry, to be no voters at all—at least two out of the three named do not possess the franchise. It is quite manifest that the Times, like DAN HomER, is sometimes caught napping, and that in the case of the Bury tenants of Lord DERBY, the Thunderer has been regularly " sold." What a laughable series of illustrations these nonsensical tales about the mysterious " W. B." at Derby, and about the incomprehensible " three tailors of Bury" make of the credulity of a portion of our countrymen. Nothing so funny has ever appeared even in the comic pages of our facetious contemporary Punch. Vanity Fair is in mourning, that is, it has put on its customary suit of solemn sables in memory of a great potentate in its realms, during his day—of one who held the sceptre of fashion with an absolute grasp, but who has been forced to yield to a yet more absolute despot—one before whom all earthly sovereigns, be they the rulers of men, or the governors of tailors, must bow to the dust. Count D'ORSAY has gone the way of all dandies, and has followed PETERSHAM, and BRUMNIEL, and NASH, and the long line of antecedentbeaux and ex quisites who have lorded it over the men-milliners and petits-maitres of the West end. Curiousl,y enough, while Count D'ORSAY was talked of in London as thearbiter elegantiarum, and written about as the incarnate beau ideal to be seen and admired, no one—that is, no English gentleman—ever thought of adopting him as a model in habits tailoric or moral. In fact, the Count was in every respect a thorough French man, and the exaggerated style of dress and the bright colours he figured in would, if imitated by an English man, render him an object of ridicule ; whereas the Count carried off the brilliant and outre garments be wore with the jaunty air of a thorough-bred Parisian " lion," or a very magnificent Bond-street " snip." The Count was a universal genius, vulgarly a Jack-of-all-trades, and it would really be difficult to decide whether he was greatest as a soldier, a painter, a poet, a sculptor, a designer of pantaloons, fancy vests, and outrageously queer cut coats, or an epicurean philosopher of the modern school. As a sketcher of personal likenesses he was really clever, and the outlines he has left of some of the fashionable men of his time are perhaps the works left by him best worth preserving as artistic relics. Erratic as an artist, and whimsical as a grand costumier, the count was constant only to a course of life which was an outrage upon all established laws of social decency, which was revolting to every pure and religious sense, and offensive to everything not as gross as itself. He lived undisguisedly and even ostentatiously with the late Countess of BLESSINGTON— the mother-in-law of his wife, a beautiful, accomplished, and virtuous lady,—and this unholy liason was continued to the last, till death did them part—in open disregard of the opinion and censure of the world. The consequence was, that he was alienated from that society which be would otherwise have been free to enter ; and as Lady BLESSINGTON was never received in respectable female circles from the time when she left the paths of virtue, they were forced to live in a society peculiar and not par ticular as to the private conduct and practices of its mem bers. In Gore-house they set up a sort of court, where a coterie of broken-down dandies, of ostracised demireps, of tuft-hunting authors, of patron-seeking artists, of literary gents, snobs, toadies, and a few persons of real genius but of loose habits, resorted to enjoy the luscious banquet, and licentious conversazione of the tailoric SARDANAPA LUS and his fat, fair, and fifty ladye-love. By this coterie, laudably grateful for favours received, and inspired by the sense of favours yet to come, "My lady" was bepuffed acd bepraised into a heathen goddess of love and beauty, and into a great authoress to boot, and " The Count" was written up as a universal genius—as an " admirable Crichton," and something more. In sober truth, neither was entitled to these extravagant laudations. Lady BLESSINGTON was a very so-so writer of common-places, in prosy verse and mamby pamby prose; and the Count was an indifferent scribbler, and a clever amateur of the fine arts generally —nothing beyond. The pair present a melancholy instance of natural gifts misapplied, and of rank without respect. Carrying the contempt of christian precepts and of social observances to the utmost, D'ORSAY and his paramour have arranged to take the eternal sleep, side by side, under a theatrically-contrived pyramid. The white marble tablet—ironical emblem of the purity of their lives — commemorating their mortal career. Sic transit gloria. Vanity Fair mourns her defunct dandy with all the out ward show of simulated grief she can submit to ; but there is a real sorrow felt by many who were the partici. pators of the Count's generosity and bounty : Ambubaiarum collegia, pharnaacopol, Mendici, m i rn x, balatrones ; hoc genus homne, Aixstrum ac solicitum est cantons ramie D'Orsaii, Quippe benignus etat." A couple of desperate attempts have been made during the week to infuse a little animation and frolic into our torpid existence, with but indifferent success. The sons of Caledonia have given us a two days' exhibition of their peculiar national sports, games, and exercises. They have danced the Highland reel, pitched the bar, and ran races in sacks, and wrestled, and whacked each other with broadswords, and performed a variety of other similar feats for our " divarshun," all of which was vastly funny ; but, somehow or other, the Scottish fete this year has been voted a bore by sight-seers in general ; and, unless it ho materially Changed diTcroificd Agt year, I fear the Scotchu3en will find themselves in Holland Park all alone in their glory. The Crystal Palace, too, has been put on its legs—(or rather leg, for as yet it has but one)—again, in another locality, and a day of extraordi nary rejoicing was appointed for the solemn ceremony of planting the first pillar. Of course, Sir JOSEPH PAXTON, the "illustrious architect," and Messrs. Fox and HEN DERSON, the disinterested contractors, were the high priests on the occasion, but there was a remarkable lack of people of the least cansequence present, although invi tations were sent to every body whose name is to be found in that valusble little book with the queer title, " Who's Who, in 1852." Sir HENRY WEBB, that good-natured accommodating Baronet, who never refuses a civil invi tation to a respectable entertainment, was the sole repre sentative of the Aristocracy—(saving Sir Joseph)—who could be prevailed on to attend. But the promoters and directors of the brittle company consoled themselves as they best could for the absence of patronising princes, peers, and prelates, and laid the foundation of the new glass edifice in a perfect sea of champagne. Directors of public companies understand pretty generally the art of giving grand spreads, but this Cryatal Palace dejeuner took the shine out of all antecedent gormandising and guzzling matches. I don't know who the chef de cuisine was, but he ought undoubtedly to be knighted forthwith ; as for the butler, he ought to have been created a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire on the spot. If the future half-yearly meetings of the Crystal Palace Company be only half as jovial as the inauguration festival, it will be truly the most brilliant commercial enterprise the world ever saw. ittberpoot tanbarb. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY', AUGUST 10, 1852. CO3I.IIERCLIL AND MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. THE gradual fall of consols during the past week, to the extent of nearly 11 per cent., has perplexed most people, vtith respect to its actual cause or causes. The decrease of bullion in the Bank of England from £22,065,349 to £21,700,103, showing difference of £355,241 on the week, has been urged by some as the cause of alarm; and the position of the potato crop, and the harvest generally, has been urged by otherst Neither of these, however, we consider, are sufficient to account for the fall; for there is not, as yet, any reason to apprehend that the state of the harvest is such as to render proba ble any drain of gold, which can inconveniently restrict the circulation, bearing in mind the fact that we are promised from week to week a continual accession of supply from Australia and California. By the arrival of the Stebenheath, from Port Philip direct, we have dates to the 22nd of April; and the accounts state : " It appears that the production at the mines Ras steadily increasing, and was now estimated at £lOO,OOO per week, or at the rate of more than £5,000,000 per annum for this colony alone. The present vessel has brought about 60,000 ounces, valued at £230,000; and the Vanguard, which sailed a few days previously, but which has not yet arrived, took 17,490 ounces, or nearly £70,000 worth. The quotation was 60s. to 61s. per ounce. Great complaints continued to be made of the prevalence of crime, owing to the influx of convicts from Van Die men's Land, many of whom were among the most suc cessful people at the mines. Rain had begun to fall at Mount Alexander. but not so as to increase the facilities for working, and in the other districts it was still delayed." Another account, extracted from a letter received in Liverpool yesterday, and dated Sydney, 3d April, says:-- - - • - The golden prospects of this colony are wholly eclipsed by the i mrnense yield of thegold districts at Port Philip, lat terly tl , e weekly receipts by governm en t escort there exceed 12,000 ounces, and at one time over 20,000 ounces : this, exclusive of considerable sums brought in by private con• veyance, and it is generally believed that when the supply of water is more abundant, the' present yield will be tre bled ; at present the weekly receipts here do not exceed 4,000 to 6,000 ounces, but many rich deposits have for a time been abandoned, in consequence of a succession of heavy floods rendering it impossible to work them. Gold digging is a most precarious pursuit, and altogether a lottery, with some few splendid prizes, and very many blanks." Every vessel from that quarter of the globe may be expected to have a large amount on board; and in addition the supplies from California are being regularly poured in upon us. We conceive that an accidental decrease of the stock in the Bank during any particular week may be accounted for in a great measure by remittances made to the gold diggings themselves, where it is well known that coin is much wanted for the purchase of that very material itself. Still the fact that, with such a plethora as we now have in our coffers, nearly equalling the whole amount of notes in circulation, a decrease of £350,000 can create the slightest effect at all, shows the extent to which confidence in our present monetary system has been shaken by the commercial calamities of 1847. Possibly some effect upon consols may have been created amongst timid people by the alleged threatening state of our relations with the United States. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 31st July gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Public deposits .. £3,195,152; Increase £392,791 Other deposits .. 14,506,774 ; Decrease 957,514 Rest .. 3,199,124; Increase 4,984 On the other side of the account— Government securities £13,790,720 ; Increase 6,174 Other securities.. .. 10,799,655 ; Increase 17,473 Notes unemployed .. 11,849,700 ; Decrease 626,965 . . . • The amount of notes in circulation is £23,479,455, being an increase of £248,045 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £21,710,108, show ing a decrease of £355,241 when compared with the preceding return. In our Share market during the past week we have had a large business. A preponderance of speculation, with some few real sales, has tended further to depress prices, and we are to-day some 5 per cent. lower all round than on this day week. The issuing of a satisfactory report from the Midland on Saturday, showing a dividend of 3 per cent. with a surplus, and this for the worst half year of the two, gave a slight check to the general decline, and raised this stock from 71 to 731 ; this has been pretty well maintained to-day, and there is a more healthy look about the market, but it is not strong; and the machinations of the bears will, most pro bably, further depress it; only, however, to be suc ceeded by a more decided reaction, for the power of money must tell. The London and North-Western divides 51 : per cent.; the Great Western, 4; the East Lancashire 2. The Royal Insurance meeting passed over satisfactorily, and this company have increased their dividend from 3s. to 4s. per share, the additional is., however, being given as a bonus. Gold Shares are dull, but steady in price. We annex the quotations of this day's business :- Caledonians, 20 19+; Eastern Counties, 10 7-16 7-16 P • East Lancashire, 171 aI. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 80 1--li-L1801; ditto fifths, 4.0 ; ditto pref. 6 per cent., 151; London stock, 126 5+ ditto new quarters, 31+ 1 -- 1 1 ; ditto fifths, 4p; Sheffield stock, 32+ 1-1; Midland stock, 731 3 :.t ; 1 1 3 - 3 1 ; Dover stock, 201 1* ; Dublin and Drogheda, 50 : Dutch Rhenish, 2 1+ 2d. There is little to remark upon in the state of our Colonial Markets, the demand for produce conti nuing limited, both for the home trade and for ex port. RICE is perhaps the only exception, and that more in regard to the extent of business than any change in price. 50,000 bags have changed hands during the week, chiefly American to arrive, at 9s. in bond. The improved demand has arisen on account of the late wet weather, and reports respecting the Potato disease. With respect to the harvest, we have little fear as yet, such reports being always rife at this juncture. The crops, we believe, will be large, and generally in as good con dition as in ordinary years. We are not so confi dent, however, as to the Potato crop, although we think that the reports are exaggerated, and the large breadth sown is not sufficiently considered. PRODUCE.-Since the publication of the Brokers' Circular a fair amount of business has been trans acted in Sugar. The sales comprise 215 hhds. Bar badoes, chiefly at 31s. 6d. to 375. ; 130 hhds. Deme rara at 30s. 7d. to 335. 3d.; 120 hhds. Antigua at 335. 6d. to 355. 6d.; 800 bags Benares at 38s. 6d. to 395. 6d.; 700 bags Bengal at 325. to 335. 6d, and 100 bags Pernams at 18s. per cwt. No sales of Nfolas ses have been reported. Of Rum only 120 puncheons of Demerara have found buyers at previous prices. The Coffee market is quiet at late rates. Tea is in fair request, particularly descriptions suitable to the wants of the trade. Rice is in more demand con sequent upon the reports of the Potato failure. 30,000 bags American have changed hands at 9s. per cwt. Dyewoods continue steady ; we note sales of 35 tons Jamaica Logwood at £3 12s. to £3 15s. ; 50 tons Barrwood at £2 10s. per ton ; 35 chests Liver to Orange Shell Lac are reported at 395. to 51s. per cwt. ; 25 tons Cuba Fustie, all faults, at £8 12s. 6d. to £9 12s. 6d., and 30 tons Acorns at £4 to £4 15s; 70 bales Gambia have been taken at 18s.; 300 bags Sago Flour at 14s. 6d. per cwt., and 250 cases Castor Oil at 31d. per lb. COTTON -The market during the past week has been steady, but not so active as we had occasion to report on this day week, the total sales being 57,000 bales. Prices also are a shade lower. The sales of Friday, Saturday, and to-day are estimated at about 27 7 000 bales, of which_ speculators took S,OOO and exporters 2,000. The import since Thursday is 20,000 bales. WooL.—The series of colonial wool sales, which commenced in London on the 9th July, terminated on Friday. They comprised— Bales. Australian Port Philip and Portland Bay South Australian 5,612 Van Diemen's Land. Swan River 949 Cape 2,093 Total colonial.. East Indian .......... ... ..... German .. Sundry foreign low ........ 55,340 .. 1,826 .. 859 .. 1.714 59,739 The following account of their progress is from the circular of Messrs. Southey and Son : "All apprehension of a short supply of colonial wool this season having subsided, and an opinion prevailing that the judicious measures taken to encourage emigration will avert that evil for seasons to come, our buyers were regulated in their operations at these sales by the present state and prospects of their own markets, which did not allow them to support the speculative prices of last sales. " Nevertheless, the result of these sales is satisfactory to importers ; prices commenced very close upon last sales, the finer qualities showing a slight reduction ; after some days the attendance of buyers fell off, and a further depression became apparent ; but when this was known in the north, many fresh buyers came up. and prices assumed a firmer tone, which continued to the end. " Purchasers on foreign account allowed many sales to pass without operating, but towards the conclusion bought freely of the middle and better qualities of combing wool, and assisted much in supporting prices. We estimate they took about 6,000 bales. _ _ The Wool market in Liverpool has been ra ther quiet this week ; but as the prospects of the trade are good, holders are not at all anxious to sell, expecting prices will be higher after the harvest. In Ireland the demand is brisk, and the farmers' parcels are eagerly purchased as they come to mar ket, at advancing rates. laoN.—The recent advance in the price of Iron, unaccompanied by a formal acknowledgment of the fact by the masters, threatens to produce a strike on the part of the men. The Birmingham Journal says : The puddlers in several of the works have given notice of an advance of wages of ls. 6d. a ton. O❑ Thursday last a meeting of the iron-masters was held in Birmingham to consider this notice, when they came to a unanimous resolution not to advance the wages. The ground upon which they have so decided is that the ar rangement by which prices of iron were to regulate wages was to be determined by the " list prices," that is, the formally declared price agreed to at the quarterly meet ings of the trade. if this be so, and the masters think it well to dhere to the strict letter of the arrangement, there can be no question about the legality of their de cision ; hut it is notorious that the " list price" does not regulate the market price of iron, and it is equally true that, although no nominal advance has been made upon prices which ruled six months ago, in reality iron is fetching higher rates in the market." AMERICAN, VERSION OF THE FISHERIES QUESTION. The arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia puts us in possession of the opinions of various sections of the American people, with respect to the alleged improper interference of the British Government for the protection of their North American colonists from the invasion of their fishing grounds by the fishermen of the United States. The first of these which we feel bound to notice is that of Mr. Webster, the American Secretary of State and candidate for the Presidency. On the 23th ultimo it appears that an address of congratulation was presented to that gentleman on his arrival at Marshfield, in replying to which he took the opportunity of stating his views upon the question. After assuring his audience that " the fishermen shall be protected in all their rights of property and all their rights of occupation—protected hook and line, bob and sucker"—and dwelling upon their importance as nurseries of the American navy, the hon. gentleman said of the course taken by the British Go vernment : " It is now more than thirty years that they have pur sued the fishing in the same water and on the same coast, in which and along which notice has come that they shall be no longer allowed these privileges. Now this cannot be justified without notice. A mere indulgence of too long continance, even if the privilege were not an in dulgence, cannot be withdrawn at this season of the year when our people, according to their custom, have engaged in the business, without just and seasonable notice. I cannot but think the late dispatches from the Colonial Office:had not attracted, to a sufficient degree, the atten tion of the Principal Minister of the Crown, for I see matter in them quite inconsistent with the arrangement made in 1845 by the Earl of Aberdeen and Edward Everett. Then the Earl of Derby, the present First Minister, was Colonial Secretary. It could not well have taken place without his knowledge, aud, in fact, without his concur rence or sanction. I cannot but think, therefore, that its being overlooked is an advertence. The treaty of 1811 was made with the Crown of England. If a fishino vessel is captured by one' of her vessels of war, and brought in for adjudication, the Crown of England is answerable, and then we know who we have to deal with. But it is not to be expected that the United States will submit their rights to be adjudicated upon in the petty tribunals of the provinces, or that they will allow our vessels to be seized by constables and other petty officers, and condemned by Municipal courts of Canada and New foundland, New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia ! No, no, no. (Great cheering.) Futher than this, gentlemen, I do not think that it is expedient to remark upon this subject at present, but you may be assured it is a subject upon which no one sleeps at Washington. 1 reeret that the state of my health caused my absence from Washing ton when the news came of this sudden change in the interpretation of the treaties. My health requires re laxation. I shall feel it my duty, as soon as my health and strength will justify me in undertaking the journey, to return to my post, and discharge the duties devolving upon me to the best of my abilities." Mr. Webster, from the above, seems to contend rather against the interruption, at this particular period, of an indulgence permitted by the British Government to the American fishermen, than for the maintenance of any right possessed by the latter. His reference to the treaty of 1811 is puerile, as the matters complained of, as exist ing under that treaty, were formerly settled between the two governments under the subsequent treaty of 1818. In the meantime, if it had been the object of that gentle man to excite the belligerent feelings of the American people, with a view to the coming presidential election, it will be seen from the tone of some portion of the American press that he has been tolerably successful. The follow ing are a few specimens of that of the New York Herald : " The construction of the treaty, as laid down by Mr. Webster, will undoubtedly be maintained by our govern ment. The fishermen's rig htsinvolved are worth the hazards of a little war, as preferable to the abandonment of those rights. On the other hand, the uninterrupted interchange of our commerce with Great Britain is of infinitely more value to her than all the fisheries on the face of the earth. * * * With the single article of cotton, we have the power of maintaining the long-admitted rights of our fishermen to the colonial waters from which they are now to be expelled. * * * Let us have a war with Eng land. The time is propitious. We have provocations enough to impel us, inducements enough to tempt us ; and the sure and immeasurable advantages which would follow, to us, to liberal principles, and to mankind at large, all suggest the justice and the sound policy of a war with England. Sooner or later such a war is inevi table ; and better have it sooner than later. Now is our time. The fishery question affords the direct provocation —the casus belli." " Let it come. We 'are ready. Let us have all our difficulties settledin the lump, the affairs of the north-east coast, the north-west coast, Mexico, Central America, Cuba, and Hayti, all together. * * * The struggle may shake this old beldame earth like an earth quake ; but, when we emerge from the smoke and dust of the conflict, the British North American provinces will be ours, their fisheries will be ours, Cuba will be ours, and the absorption of Mexico and Central America will be left wholly to our discretion. Such are the splendid fore shadows of manifest destiny, and of a war with England. Let such a war be declared, and in six months we could muster a force of two hundred ocean war-steamers, and the most powerful and swiftest on the ocean. In one month we could muster a well-appointed and well-disci plined army of 300,000 men for the conquest of Canada ; and, more terrible than this, with the first tap of the drum Ireland would rise from the dust, like a giant re freshed by sleep, and burning to avenge the accumulated wrongs of five hundred years. principal and interest. A hundred thousand fighting Irishmen, from the United States, would hasten across the sea to aid their country men in wiping out the disasters of the Boyne, Vinegar Hill, and Slievegammon." - - - The cloven foot peeps out with tolerable distinctness in the above paragraphs. The rabid section of the American people, who are represented by the New York Herald, seek only, in their agitation of this question, a pretext for the commencement of a career of wholesale robbery un exampled in the history of nations. The New York Courier and Inquirer treats the subject in a more moderate tone. It assumes what is contrary to the fact, " the despatch of a fleet of nineteen armed vessels to enforce a new construction of a treaty different from what has prevailed for thirty years ;" and adds : " In one respect this indignity differs from almost every other that has preceded it. It comes directly from the home government, and therefore cannot be escaped from, as is so frequently done, by the simple disavowal of the action of subordinates. The British cabinet has, in fact, taken a position which it cannot maintain without incurring direct collision with this country, and yet from which there is no side-path in any direction. It must either come to blows, or retreat straight backwards." His conclusion is, that Great Britain will make an apology, and that no war will ensue. The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Com. merce says : " The affair happens at an unfortunate time, for the reason that the feelings it will excite will be aggravated by a recollection of the recent novel demonitration_of Great Britain on the Mosquito coast and on the coast of Cuba. It is also still more unfortunate, because it will be made use of by the ultra-Protectionists to defeat any con templated legislation on the subject of a reciprocity of trade between the United States and the British American provinces. The intelligence of the capture of an American fishing-schooner in the Bay of Fundy, by the British vessel of war Nettle, was received here to-day, by a tele graphic dispatch to the speaker of the house, and was soon noised about, and produced a great sensation. In tact, this first act of violence, committed under the order of May 26th, and without the courtesy of a notice to the United States Government, is of itself considered as an act of war. The war is commenced, and it is idle to sup pose that this country will fail to meet it with resentment, however unable we may be at present to meet it with effectual resistance. The Senate have, it seems, taken up the idea, borrowed from some phrenzied Protectionist of New York, that Great Britain has resorted to this assault on our fisheries with a view to promote the passage of a bill by Congress for the establishment of a reciprocity of trade with the British provinces, and they already declare that no legislation of the kind, and no negotiation referring to the object, shall be tolerated. The idea is absurd that the British high Tory-Protectionist ministry should make a war for the protection of free trade ! But this preposte rous idea is used here for the purpose of defeating the action of Congress on the measure of reciprocity which the Committee of Commerce of the House is about to recommend." Thus far the organs of the war party, if any such there really be ; and now let us see what is said by those of the opposite section of the American people. The National Intelligencer says of the stipulations of the treaty : " On our part, we ' renounce for ever any liberty theretofore enjoyed or claimed by the inhabitants of the United States to take, dry, or cure fish on or within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbours of the British dominions in America,' &c., with a proviso that we may enter such bays or harbours for shelter or repairs, &c." The writer proceeds to state that Great Britain has all along maintained her present views, which the American government have only met by arguments ; and he con cludes : " The truth is, we suspect, that our government has contented itself with remonstrating and protesting for the last twenty or thirty years, simply because it has not con fidence in the construction which it puts upon the treaty ; and hence all these protracted difficulties• The matter should no longer be left in doubt, We have made the treaty, and we must abide by it. Our motto is, Ask for nothing but what is right, and submit to nothing that is wrong;' and we have fall confidence that the administra tion will act up to it." Another writer—a correspondent of the New York Tribune—thus summarily disposes of the whole statements of Mr. WEBSTER and the war party, both in the United States and this country : " It is supposed that the right set up by Great Britain is unjust to the United States, and unreasonable ; that the rights she now claims are founded on a new construc tion of an old treaty, and are now advanced for the first time; and that a large fleet has been suddenly sent out from England to drive off or capture American vessels fiercely, and without notice to any one. All these ideas are erroneous. Within my own recollection this fishy hubbub has occurred annually for upwards of twenty years, and commonly snakes its periodical visitation with shad and salmon. The large fleet of nineteen vessels was not suddenly sent out from England. The Cumberland, 74, under Admiral Seymour, and all the larger vessels under his command, are nothing more than the regular squadron of the West India and North American station, and the reason why they are on the Nova Scotia shores now is, that Halifax, during the summer season, is always the head-quarters of that fleet. All the additional force brought into service for enforcing the provisions of the treaty, this year, consists of some small vessels, the ad vent of which was duly announced to the government of the United States some time ago." THE HEALTH COMMITTEE AND ITS LOANS. AT the meeting of the Council on Wednesday, it was stated that the Health Committee have been borrowing to the amount of £2,000, at 3t per cent. This is enor mous, and on the part of a public body, which has secu rity to offer, is perfectly indefensible. With three-per cent. stock above par, and whilst bankers will not allow any interest on deposits, the Health Committee ought to have been able to borrow money at three per cent., if not less. It would be news to know who are the lucky par ties from whom the £2,000 have been borrowed. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT. YESTERDAY. STEALING A COAT.—Jane Leonard was committed for trial for stealing a coat from the house of Denis Fenning, Great Crosshall-street, which she afterwards disposed of for 2s. 3d., to Denis Fannan, of Fontenoy-street. ROBBERY IN MILL-STREET. Elizabeth Harrison, Hannah Beresford, and Mary Ellen Beresford, the two latter mother and daughter, were sent for trial, charged with stealing some cotton dress pieces and a piece of oil cloth frum the shop of Mess's. Falcon and Brothers, drapers, Mill-street, on Friday last. The goods had been temptingly exposed at the shop door, as usual in such cases, and were not missed until some time after they were taken. Information was given to the police, and officers Grisenthwaite and Sullivan traced them to the possession of the prisoners, who had pledged a portion of them with a pawnbroker named Mason. The quantity stolen amounted in all to 150 yards of cotton piecing, and 12 yards of oil cloth. STEALING Booxs.—Two respectably-dressed men, named John Wilson and John Eccles, were committed for trial for stealing a quantity of books from the house of Mrs. Malladew, in Vernon-street. The prisoners called at the house on Monday last, and took lodgings there. They remained until Thursday afternoon ; and, after their departure, the books were missed. They had been kept in a chest of drawers in a room which the prisoners occu pied, and consisted of a large family Bible, a Life of Christ, and eight volumes of the Spectator, valued alto gether at £ll. The prisoners had disposed of the pro perty to Francis M`Kew, bookseller, South John-street, for 20s. Gd. Wilson had been previously brought up, when he stated that Eccles was employed by him, and had gone to Manchester. Information was forwarded to that town, and the prisoner Eccles apprehended there. The prisoner Eccles was defended by Mr. Chilton, who stated that his client was respectably connected. STEALING A WATCH.—John Conigan was sent to prison for two months, for stealing a watch from the person of a sailor named Thomas Irving. The parties were pas sengers in a steamer from Dublin to this port, and had been drinking together. The complainant fell asleep on a chest, but tumbled from it on to the floor, and his watch fell out of his waistcoat pocket, and hung by the guard. The prisoner then cut the guard, and got possession of the watch, for the purpose of, as he said, " taking care of it." On the vessel nearing tha Pierhead, after her arrival in the river, however, he jumped ashore, and attempted to make off with it, but was captured, and given into custody. ROBBERY OF PASSENGERS IN AN EMIGRANT SHIP, BY SOME OF THE CREW.—Four men, named Loftus Guest, John Gefnay, John Willis, and Frank Briggs, three of them seamen belonging to the packet-ship Shannon, were charged with robbing two of the passengers of that vessel of several articles of clothing ; and Guest was fur ther charged with attempting to stab Stephen Davies, another of the crew, because he interfered to prevent them. It appeared, that while the vessel was lying in the river on Saturday morning, and while the passengers were being mustered on deck by the Government officers, that the prisoners, who, with others of the crew, were engaged in searching below for stowaways, took the opportunity of rifling some of the passengers' berths, and stealing a lot of their luggage, Information was given to the police, and detective officers were sent on board who apprehended the prisoners and recovered most of the missing property. Richard Guest, a stove and grate moulder, said he took a steerage passage on board the ship Shannon, for New York. On Saturday morning, while the vessel was lying in the river, he had in his possession a carbet bag, which he placed for safety under the pillow in his berth. It contained a top coat, an under coat, or " shooting jacket," two waistcoats, two handkerchiefs, four shirts, a shirt front with a set of studs in it, a pair of black trowsers, and several other small articles. The passengers were called to muster on deck, and on returning he missed his carpet bag. He told the officers what had occurred, and they gave him leave to search among the crew for it. He went into the forecastle and found his carpet bag, which had been cut open, in possession of the prisoner Guest. He claimed his property, but Guest said "he never was decent enough to have such clothes as those." Eventually, however, he got possession of most part of them with the assistance of a police-officer.— -Hans Peter Hanson (who spoke through an interpreter) said he was a native of Denmark. He was a wheelmaker by trade, and, wishing to emigrate to the United States, he took a pas sage in the ship Shannon, for New York. He was on board the vessel in the river on Saturday morning, and had his luggage with him, which he deposited quite safe in his berth. He went away from his berth for a short time, and on coming back discovered that several of his clothes were missing. He told the mate of his loss, and went on shore to give information to the police. Officer Murphy accompanied him back again, and when he had got on board he was shown a coat, which he identified as part of his missing property. The clothes stolen were worth about £4, in addition to which he lost about two pounds of tobacco.—Detective officer Sullivan produced part of the tobacco, which he had found in the possession of the prisoner Briggs.—Stephen Davies, a seaman on board the Shannon, said he was in the forecastle of the ship on Saturday, when he saw the prisoner, Loftus Guest, bring down the carpet bag be longing to Richard Guest, and commence ripping it open with his pocket knife. He (witness) remonstrated, and said he would not stand by and see the passengers robbed in that way. The prisoner told him to mind his own business, and a quarrel ensued. They were messing toge ther soon after, and the subject was renewed, when the prisoner made use of very abusive language, and applied a very opprobrious epithet to witness. Witness struck the prisoner, and, anticipating a blow in return, raised his left hand, and immediately received a wound from a knife, which the prisoner struck at him with, and which nearly severed two of his fingers. The first and second mate irons, the to his assistance, and the prisoner was put in the witness being placed in charge of the ship's surgeon. Officers Murphy and Sullivan (of the detective force) gave evidence implicating all the prisoners, and produced the property which they had recovered. The prisoners were committed for trial at the ensuing assizes. A FINE YOUNG MALE LION arrived on Saturday from the Cape, was landed yesterday from the ship Devon, was sent to Mr. Hulse's establishment, Dale-street. It is but six months old, of the African breed, and ging every promise of proving a large animal, IMPORTANT EMIGRATION CASE. The case of the ship City of Lincoln has recently excited the indignant notice of all who feel an interest in the mode in which emhzration is carried on from this port. On Wednesday and, by adjournment, on Saturday, an in quiry into the circumstances took place, before the sti pendiary magistrate and Mr. James Aikin, at the police court ; an intending emigrant, John M'Turk, having summoned the charterer, John Johnson, for the return of the passage-money, £l5, and compensation under the passengers' act. Mr. HULL, solicitor, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. FORSHAW, solicitor, for the defendant. It appeared from a statement made by the former, that the ship City of Lincoln was bought by Mr. Johnson from a person named Stock, for the purpose of conveying emi grants from this port to Australia; that Johnson pa,id over the greater portion of the purchase-money, leaving a balance of about £1.600. The charterer immediately took steps for the purpose- of obtaining passengers, and by the end of June a good number of berths were taken, and placards were issued, stating the time when she would sail. The balance of purchase money had not, however, yet been paid, and Mr. Stock declined to give up the charter. The vessel, conse quently, was unable to clear out, and the emigrants were kept in the river day after day, until fifteen days had elapsed since the time of her being advertised to take her departure. The chief point at issue was as to the time at which it was contracted, between the plaintiff and defendant, the vessel should sail, Mr. Hull contending that the time specified was the 20th of July ; while Mr. Forshaw argued that no time whatever was mentioned in the contract. Mr. Hum, further contended that had no contract as to the date of sailing existed, the ship ought to have been despatched within a reasonable time, in which Mr. Mans field concurred with him. Mr. Hull, apart from that, maintained that Mr. Johnson fixed the time the moment he sent the vessel into the river. He asked whether there was not a delay or a default within the meaning of this act of perliament, and whether Mr. Johnson could be said to have fulfilled the contract in taking the passengers into the river, and allowing the vessel to remain moored fifteen days, when he had not even the necessary sails on board to carry her to Australia. It was very hard upon the emi grants to say that they should wait until Mr. Johnson and the original owner had entered into some arrangement. He thought it was a matter of great grievance to them that, since Wednesday, the vessel had been removed from George's Pierhead to the mouth of the river, so as to render it almost impossible for the emigrants to get on shore. Mr. FORSHAVV explained that she had been removed for the purpose of being sold, Mr. Johnson having failed in procuring on mortgage the requisite sum to pay for her ; and further that no breach of agreement as to date of sailing had taken place, as the emigrant had been pro vided with a berth, and the vessel had really commenced her passage. Mr. MANSFIELD remarked that it was futile to say she was on her passage, when there were no sails to aid in propelling her, when she had not cleared out at the Cus toms, and when she had got no certificate of register. At this stage Mr. MANSFIELD adjourned the hearing until to-day. _ _ A large number of the emigrants, many of them re spectable, smart-lookin g c , men, were in the co.irt during the hearing, and, just bebre leaving, one of them ex pressed an opinion that the City of Lincoln never would sail for Australia, and that, if he could get his lu g gage on shore, he would immediately part company with her. Mr. FORSITAW observed that it was by his orders the luggage of the emigrants had been detained on board, be cause he thought some of them might be foolish enough to endeavour to leave the ship. He assured them that every exertion would be used to settle the affair, and in dulged in a hope that, before Tuesday morning, they would be on their voyage. ANOMALY IN THE BEER TRADE. A singular anomaly in the Act of Parliament,loth Vic., cap. 5, secs. 9 and 10, has been b r o ug ht t o no ti c e w ithi n the last few days, chiefly by means of the recent extension of emigration to Australia. By the act in question, the Customs are directed to allow a drawback upon all Ale and Porter exported, in proportion to the saccharine matter which those liquors contain, and as a set-off against the duty levied on malt. Thus, when the specific gravity of such liquors is— From 1,054 to 1,081, the drawback is 5s per barrel. From 1,082 and upwards „ is „ But if such ale and porter —as it is presumed that such an amount of duty has been paid upon these qualities— is shipped for stores, to be consumed on the passage, the drawback, it is found, cannot be allowed. This is an anomaly which certainly ought to be removed. These wholesome liquors are much more likely to be grateful to passengers proceeding across the line than those ardent spirits upon which the Customs allow the full amount of duty paid. CHESTER ASSIZES. The commission for the county of Chester was opened on Saturday last, before Mr. Justice Talfourd and Mr. Justice Crompton, the former presiding in the Nisi Prius Court, and the latter in the Crown Court. These assizes complete the business of the circuit, and throughout the whole of North and South Vales the Judges have only been employed four days to dispense both criminal and civil business. The calendar at Chester is not so heavy as usual, so far as numbers are concerned ; but, in other respects, it is heavier than for some years past, there being three murders—two from the neighbourhood of Birkenhead, and one arising out of the Stockport riots. There are nineteen other persons charged with being implicated in the riots in that town. Yesterday, Mr. Justice Crompton took his seat in the Crown Court at eleven o'clock, and, after the grand jury had been sworn, of whom W. T. Egerton, Esq., of Tatton-park, was foreman, the learned judge delivered his charge. The chief topic upon which his lordship dwelt was the Stockport riot, and, after stating that the law ought to be administered so as to convince all that it respected the rights of the property of Roman Catholics equally with that of Protestants, he explained the nature of the evidence, and dismissed the grand jury to their duties. The oases tried in the course of the day were if a very trifling description. CIVIL SIDE. Mr. Justice Talfourd took his seat in this Court at ten o'clock yesterday morning. The cause list is of the most meagre description, con taining but six cases, only one of which is for a special jury, and that is an action for libel against the proprietor of the Chester. Courant, brought by the Rev. Mr. Ford, of St. Peter's, in Chester, arising out of some strictures on the conduct of the plaintiff during the recent election for that city. The rev. gentleman had formerly taken part with the Conservatives, but on this occasion thought proper to change his course, which led to some animadver sions upon his conduct, for which an action is brought and the case fixed for this day. The causes tried to-day were of a very trivial nature. BODY FOUND.—The body of a man, name unknown, was picked un in the Prince's Basin, on Sunday, and re moved to the dead-house for recognition. The inquest will be held this day. Docx COMMITTEE.—At the usual meeting, on Thurs day, Mr. C. Turner, M.P., in the chair. " a scene" oc curred in consequence of an attempt on the part of the chairman and the committee to induce Mr. Evans to with draw the expressions used by him the week before with respect to Mr. Bold and Mr. Wainwright, the committee's legal agent in London. He contended that Mr. Bold was the original aggressor ; that the assertions he (Mr. Evans) had made were justifiable under the circumstances; and that he ought not to be asked to withdraw them ; but he ultimately expressed his regret for any expressions that fell from him which were offensive to the committee or to the board ; and the matter was allowed to drop.—An application by the Ince-hall Coal Company for 3,400 yards of land at the canal lock, north docks, was agreed to, subject to certain con ditions.—A site was granted for a Custom-house dep6t at the bottom of Parliament-street.—Mr. Tanton was ap pointed treasurer of the Dock Estate, vice Mr. Withers, resigned. DEJEVNER ON SHIP-BOARD.—On Thursday last a very sumptuous dejeuner was given on board the clipper ship Chaseley, laying in the George's Dock. About thirty persons, including several of the gentler sex, sat down. The chair was occupied by Capt. Slaughter, and the duties of vice-nrecident were discharged by Capt. Friend. After ample justice had been done to the viands, several toasts were proposed, and not the least enthusi astically received was that of " Success to the Captain, the Owners, and the good ship Chaseley." Snbsequently the whole company proceeded to an inspection of the 'tween decks, which are fitted with state rooms on either side, the centre forming an avenue, clear fore and aft, for the free circulation of air. The Chaseley, we may men tion, having previously taken out mails and passengers to Australia, is in every particular adapted to the trade. Her sides are pierced for patent ventilators, and every improvement that experience could suggest has been ap plied. The party assembled expressed their high approval of the arrangements ; and the rapidity with which the berths are being engaged, shows that the Chaseley is, for strength, model, and equipment, duly estimated by the emigrating public. ALLEGED CRUELTY IN A NUNNERY.—At the Guildford assizes on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the attention of Chief Justice Jervis and a special jury was occupied by a singular case. This was an action brought by Henrietta Griffiths, aged fifteen, against Madame de L'Espinasse and Madame Theodosie, the superiors of a Roman Catholic Nunnery, at Norwood. Mr. M. Chambers, (IX., was the leading counsel for the plaintiff, and Ser geant Shee for the defendants.—'lle declaration alleged that the plaintiff, who sued by her next friend (her un cle), had been placed in the charge of the defendants, and that they undertook to provide her with proper food and nourishment and other necessaries, and that, in breach of that undertaking, the defendants had neglected to provide proper food ; that they had worked her beyond her strength, and had improperly confined and otherwise ill-treated her ; the consequence of which was that she became very ill and distempered in her body, and eventually lost the sight of one eye. A considerable number of witnesses were examined, and amongst them the plaintiff, who alleged various acts of cruelty which were productive of the effects above stated. This evidence was met by a fiat denial ; and the learned counsel on both sides having addressed the jury, the Chief Justice summed up at great length, and after a brief consultation tho jury returned a verdict for the defendants.
