iLtberpoof Atanbarb: TALK IN TOWN. (FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.) Temple, Monday Morning. On all sides the symptoms of a move The whitebait dinner took place on Saturday evening. at Greenwich, under the presidency of the Attorney-General, all whose proverbial fun and bon-hootesie must have been needed by his colleagues, under circumstances in which Mr. Mark Tapley himself could have admitted " there was some merit in being jolly." They were meeting within a week of the break-up of their last parliament, and they are expiring without even a " good cry." They have gone down " between two stools." The Papists and the Jews have been lost, and decent people have not been gained. The first class of their former supporters have shown themselves at Limerick, where Lord Arundel has beaten'. an Irish patriot, because the patriot was a Protestant. Raleigh (the tradition says) gained the favour of Elizabeth its favour that afterwards cost him his head, from the enmity of the greatest wretch that ever sat on a throne — James -by a small expenditure of Genoa velvet, in throwing this cloak in the mud (having, doubtless, like all " court gallants" before and since, that carelessness of dress which arises from having tic at his tailor's) ; but if Raleigh got an admiral's place by spoiling a mantle. Arundel has got a representation by demolishing a pair of pantaloons. His flinging himself in the dirt before the littleover-fed priest, called " Bishop of Limerick," was not a bad•piece ofacting. The venerable Vincent Crumles would have been delighted to have seen Bishop Ryan anal Lord Arundel travelling down together in the train from Dublin, dismissing, probably, their sandwiches and sherry at the stopping stations, and then, when they reached Limerick, and - the open-mouthed aborigines had assembled in a suffi cient crowd, playing " Faithful con of the Church" and " Venerable Bishop ; " just as Vincent Crumles himself played respectable father in a brown George, at the mar riage of Miss Henrietta Petowker. It will be recollected that, in the instructive history of Mr. Nicholas Nickleby, Mr. Crumles, the manager, could not give Nicholas his adieux in any private place, but reserved his weeping for the departure of his " lion.hearted boy" till he reached the coach-office, and had the advantage of a crowd. So the Romish bishop could not give his benediction to the Earl of Arundel in Dublin, or on the way, but waited till be reached Limerick, where, to the manifest detriment of hie lordship's inexpressibles, the representation was faith fully given. We wonder to read of the mandarins who who go and commit suicide at the order of the Emperor, and we do not wonder at the son of the Earl Marshal of England making a mental obeisance and prostration such as this. However, this "jockey of Norfolk" succeeded in jockeying Russell, the Protestant candidate ;—and now may come back before Friday to inform the House of Commons that he does not consider his soul his own. Amongst the other marks of a coming change of minis try, is the approaching move in the law appointments. Lord Chief Justice Jervis, it is said, has got consumption, and must go to Madeira. This will make room for the Attorney-General —a gentleman againet whom there can be no charge but that of being a Whiz, for he has been very active and honest in his office, a fair debater in Parliament, and a zealous law reformer, while his ability as a lawyer and an orator are both undoubted. The corruption and favouritien whirls were suspected to exist in some affairs about the Exhibition Glass-house have not been the less credited from the case of the statue of " the sleeping Nymph." It is really sickening in the highest degree to have read the declarations of the great respect that those who got up the Exhibition wished to pay. to " the Sabbath," and then to learn that " the friends of the Executive Committee" are admitted on Sunday. and that they proceed so far as to remove statues from their pedestals, break them by their bungling, repair them again, take photographs of them, and then restore them to their places, so that the unconscious purchaser of a work of art may first find that it is mutilated, and then, for his further comfort, ascertain that the Italian hawkers of plaster of Paris figures can accommodate him with a copy for a shilling. It is of course with the most poignant regret that I per ceive that my allusion to "literary snobs" has been taken as personal by the editor of the Liverpool Chronicle, an organ of public opinion I never before saw. If I had known the gentleman was of that particular " nest," as be phrases it, I should have decidedly excepted him, as my allusion seas to metropolitan snobs, and not provincial. If he wishes, however, to become the champion of literary snelkery (for, be it remarked, of literary gentlemen I said nothing), I can only give him the answer of the Lacede =miens to Alexander.—"Ei Alexandros bouletal stoat Thews, Theos esto." If he wants to be champion of the snobs, let him be champion of the snobs, and lead a new war of the dunces, till, as he says, the stones that Thack- Cray " lives to tread" (and not lightly, either, I can tell him) "rise up 'and' mutiny." He is quite welcome to indulge his rustic dream of the " fine and honourable spirits" with which he has peopled the region of metro politan literature. His idol, Tnackeray, does not seem to be of his opinion about them, and, as an humble spectator, neither am I. The same article, I see, compliments you by stating that your style is like something the writer has " heard or read in the most exceptionable of the London weekly Tory prints." How one can "hear" a weekly print, may be understood on the Irish side of the Channel, but does not seem very clear on this ; but n'importe, what does the man mean by the " most exceptionable of the weekly Tory prints ?" There are but two weekly Tory prints.—One is the Britannia, established, but, un fortunately for literature, no longer conducted, by an able writer, a deeply-read scholar. and an acc om pli s h e d zentle man, Mr. D. T. Coulton, than whom, in the chair of criticism, ne'er sat an Abettidin Of more discerning eyes, or bands more clean— a man who made, at least in one newspaper, literary criti cism honest and independent, and carried on his journal in such a manner that to be connected with it was an honour. The second " Tory print" is the John Bull, and I am at a loss .to know what there is "exceptionable," to use your contemporary's elegant phrase, about that paer. The editor of the Chronicle will, as he says, " hear" it a long time before he hears anything in it disreputable ; but what can you expect of a man who tells you that old Dr. Whateley is " one of the first men of the age ?" He says lam " soporific," I perceive. He certailily is not; abut, like the hero of the Dunciad— Steepless himself, to give his readers sleep. That very wonderful orator, Gavazzi, has concluded his lectures in town, and starts for Scotland. There has been probably no incident of all the anti-popish agitation so decidedly injurious to the Romanists as this man's pre sence in London. They have felt it so, and done all in their power to injure his popularity ; but in vain. They dare not make a charge of any kind of misconduct or bad character against him. They knew too well the mettle of the warrior-priest, and too well the temper of British ju ries, to set about their usual libelling system. Ilis advo cacy of enlightenment is therefore doubly valuable. In deed, for the mere sake of seeing, for once, the true grace of the " action" that Demosthenes recommended, and of Bearing pure eloquence, there is nothing in this eventful year better worth attending than a lecture of Gavazzi. When he took.up a musket for Italian freedom, the Uni versity of Bologna lost no contemptible professor of rhetoric. The crisis in France is coming, with neither slow nor doubtful pace. There is not the slightest chance of the re-election of Louis Napoleon ; and as to what may be the nature of the government that will succeed, it is quite impossible to guess, that pleasant nation has so adroit a habit of doing bv-a coup what other countries do as the result of deliberation. The rumoured recall of the troops from Rome turns out, as we expected, to be simply one of those feelers that persons who are called statesmen in France throw out for -the purpose of seeing how such a movement will be taken. The French genius has not the least desire to see Austria assuming a power in Italy, which France, by a little management. might obtain for herself. Everything points to the fact that the office of keeper of Infallibility will probably be a subject of European con tention before many mouths have passed over us. In the meantime, the rejection of ,Louis Napoleon is not to be without the substitution of another quasi royal candidate. It wears that Thiers willset up the Prince de Joinville for the presidency. This ia.exeeedingly good, if the little 1 liisto4-al-rornancist means to divide one party of order so as to give greater as s urance to the faction of the Red ; but on no ether ground is it intelligible. The Prince deJoin ville is deservedly the greatest favourite of all the children of Louis:Philippe. Ho is a gallant sailor and a good Frenchman, and as the bourgeois.class seem only to want some one who will keep them clear ref apprehension from the Social:sets, and be a king without intuiting French sen timent, by a.; Whiting the "round and top of royalty," the Prince ile Jeinville will doubtless 'do es well as another. However, his-election, and that of Louis Napoleon, will be in the treasury of Ariosto before Mayday. Gargantua declared that neither Caesar nor Alexander -could do without his dinner ; and it appears that Pius IX, the " Holiness of-Our Lord," as Anton-elli blasphemously calls him in his ta;sation circular, is bard ,up for a little money. After cq..wietely ruining the middle classes of Rome Land that includes all the shopkeepers), by his mi litary violence, and that, of his masters, the French, and after expelling multitudes of natives of the Ltoman states, on the ground that they were not natives of the city, be finds (as one might fancy, without being any great witch) that the tales are sornewh:et difficult to i get in. In -fact, the " Centre of Unity" , is pretty nearly irsolvent..endlhes been driven to lay on new tromp to keep up the exchequer. The rumour (whether or not owing to his alleged ill. health) has revived of Lord Irougham's having been offered an earldom, in gratitude for his stupendous labours, both as a law-reformer and as a -judge of appeals in the House of Lords. I believe lie has refused the higher step, Preferring to have his barony made deseend it ble,to hie brother and nephew, to whom his lordship is gre a tl y attached, and who is a very fine and intelligent boy. It i s the fate of the most distinguished man of es time like ours —the interregnum of genius, when one generation of intellectual giants has almost gone, and another not yet arrived—to occupy such a place in public attention as ren ders it a difficult task-for the most candid and impartial to decide upon his merits. Nobody will dispute that the one Englishman now living, whose name is most frequently in the months of men throughout Christendom, and whose actions attract the greatest measure of regard, is Henry Lord Proughtun, From the revive phijofop4e; his THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1851. German college to the roaring agitator in a iondon pot house. From the American dissenting minister, who attacks his speculation; to the Cockney caricaturist, who makes a dinner by his face, Lord Brougham, his writings and- his career, are the familiar theine of conversation and comment. It may be. that Lord Brougham, by his invasion of every walk of human learning, may have thrown down the gauntlet to countless antagonists beyond the number " allotted to man." But true it is, that he has awakened to himself the attention, friendly", or hostile, of every class, not only of his fellow subjects, but of all Europe and America. if testimony were needed to the intellectual power of this great man, it would be found in the fact, not only of the extent of his reputation, but of the manner in which he is spoken of by foreigners as well as his countrymen. Those politi cians to whom the Whig leaders of 1829 and 1830 were as O'Cnnnell to the Irish—the ambitious shopmen and pro found shoemakers—who looked to " the bill and the whole bill" to transfer the amount to the Marylebone Vestry, and make en Elector of Finsbury about as powerful as an Elector of Hanover, have but a poor opinion of Lord Brougham's " consistency." His lordship may be well content that he has " donenothing they can understand," and that the feeling of the entire public is simply that of utter di4gust with the pack of libellers, a miserable rem nant of whom have just read their recantation this week in that speculation of Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, the printers, called Punch. The fact is, the public disgust was becoming too powerful to make the further slandering of. Lord Brougham a paring pursuit. In the middle of the universal regret at the temporary illness that drove him to Brougham-hall. before the end of the session, and deprived us of one truly great speech on the pretensions of the Church of Rome. the libellers tried their last experiment of is caricature, but incidents I have heard of taught them that that line of action was exhausted, and so they apologised in some doggrel verses. and gave his lordship the inestimable advantage of their praise—an apology and eulogium very like those made by John Partridge. the almanac.maker to the Emperor of Austria and the King of Spain. It is seldom the fate of a states man to live down so well organized a system of abuse as the Whigs had arrayed •against Lord Brougham. He has made, however, no reply to slander, and he has done wisely. Who now (but for his own imprudence) could have called from its obscure oblivion the name of one of the hapless hirelincs who exasperated Pope ?—who knows the name of any of the band of whom Bolingbroke com plains, since that great man denied them the immortality of mention ? And thouch the Whigs may have rewarded some of the libellers of Lord Brougham with public appointments—their names will be as obscure as their occupation was filthy. Sons of a day! just buoyant in the flood. They're numbered with dead puppies in the mud. Ask ye their names? I could as soon disclose The names of these blind puppies as of those. The failure of the eclipse to carry out the prophecies of the astronomers on Monday was something remarkable, more particularly as we were told to prepare for almost total darkness, and especially the Daily News alarmed its readers with aterrihle prognosticof midnight in theafternoon. The gobemouche who " does the science" for that print, not content with a frightful prophecy, claims credit for the power he had of foretelling the event, and challenged admiration for the professors who prophesied—what did not happen. The following reads rather funnily, now that are know there were many darker days both immediately before and after Monday last :—" To-day a sudden dark ness will arrest the banker at his counting-house, the artist at his easel, the mechanic at his loom. The lilies will fold their petals up at noon ; the birds will wing their ways to their nests; and catt le in affright will cease to graze. A livid light will play about the streets, chil dren will laugh to see jack-o'.lanterns flit to and fro on the ground, and upon walls in every direction; and some will pause not in fear, as of old—but with reverent awe, to contemplate the solemn spectacle. When the light declines at noon. thousands will long to know the laws at work. Man will be strangely moved at the sight, and will be inclined to reverence the profes sors of the science which enables us to foretell the event with the utmost accuracy." I suppose the wiseacre of the Daily News considers that the eclipse ought to have done all this, if it did not, but he must he 'eighty delighted that " country visiters at the Crystal Palace," (as in his pride of Fleet-street philosophy he calls all who have not, been bred in a London fog)have not been affrighted by the dark ness ; for remarkable as it seems; the gobentouche of the Daily News evidently believes that people in " the coun try" know nothing of an eclipse. Apuleius should write the eulogium of such a savon. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS. Mon day Night. There has been more confidence evinced • during the past week both by importers and consumers, and the sales in produce, particularly of Cotton, have been con siderable. Though present prices of produce are generally ruinously low to importers, yet with a large consumption and moderate supplies we may look for some improve ment. On this head we cannot do better than give an ex tract from Messrs. Littledale's monthly circular, a copy of which we have been favoured with " After a decline in the value of Cotton, unparalleled in ex tent in the same space of time since 1825, a point has been reached which buyers and sellers, importers and manufac turers, appear agreed in thinking a safe oue, quite as low in deed or lower than justified by a dispassionate view of all the circumstances .of tbe.case.--,as such,a more cheerful feeling.haa pervaded the market during the last ten days, and such is the influence which this all-important article exercises over our other markets, that the same feeling has: in same degree ex tended itself to other products, and the extreme gloom seems to be passing off. The question of the greatest interest now is that of the harvest, on which it is yet too early to hazard an opinion; but should the present month prove fine, we shall probably have an average one; this. is felt to be so vitally im portant in the present position of the Dank of England, whose gradually reducing coffers could ill bear the additional drain which would arise, should the harvest prove deficient—that, until the noint is more defined, speculation will be kept in check and great caution will very properly be observed in entering into extensive operations; but when once this is settled, the low prices at present ruling, and the abundance of money that will be found when apprehension is removed, will no doubt lead to increased transactions and a probable enhancement in value; on the other hand, should the weather set in bad, any advance would only cause additional disappointment and loss. Our stocks in most leading articles may be considered at their maximum, and with the large consumption inseparable from low prices, more firmness may be expected from holders; but excessive imports may be considered the great bane of the year, mid, until these are modified, there is little hope of profit to importers." The arrivals of Timber from British America this month consist of 65 vessels, 41,468 tons, against 32 vessels, 20,250 tons, in same month lest year. The aggregate tonnage since Ist February is 96 vessels, 60.512 tons, against 55 vessels, 33,232 tons to same period last year. In our Share Market this week a further improvement has taken place, and considerable purchases for investment have been made. There have, however, from the attempts of the bears " to bang the market," been severe fluctua tions. The market has been also materially relieved by the cessation of real sales, and confidence has been in creased by the great scarcity of stock at the settlement just past. To-day we have had a quiet steady business at the quotations annexed, which are somewhat higher than those of Saturday. The dealers have a large bear account open, and will suffer much in the event of a decided rise, which appears very likely to take place. We copy the following report of the wool trade for the past month from the circular of Messrs. Joseph Robinson and C 0..-- „ Since the issue of our last monthly report, the Wool mar ket has exhibited great firmness, and though the business is limited, ccasioned by the lightness of stock and the reduced im ports, it is gratifying to observe that the r e is n o di m i nu ti on i n the demand for most descriptions. In the manufacturing towns there appears to be no want of orders ; but the low rates at which they are given out, leave such a small margin for the consumer, that complaints have been general: as far as our judgment extends, there seems to be sorre probability of this being shortly rectified from the absolute scarcitiy of the raw material ; for unless the supply of low combing wools is consi derably increased, the want of stock will cause, of necessity, an advance. During the month no public sales have been held here. and the business by private treaty is confined to the fol lowing classes, viz., Oporto, Peruvian, Magadore, East India, Egyptian, &c. The whole of the long Oporto is cleared off (about 2000 bags,) and all coarse long wools, such as Egyptian, Russian Fleece, Oporto, Iceland, &c., are in great and inereas ing demand. The arrivals from Peru have be:n entirely Al. paca, the whole of which was sold before it reached here. East India is in request, and none offering; this remark is applica ble to any clean low wool. As far as can be ascertained, the quantity in manufi.cturer's hands is small; taking a view of imports through the kingdom and stocks on hand, it can with fairness be ;Aimed, that there is a considerable deficit, which will not be easily made up. The public sales in London, which have been is progress some time, and will not terminate before the 16th instant, have drawn a large attendance of the trade, and prices have been satisfactory, being fully equal to their previous sales ; the great proportion of what is offering there is Australian : what few low wools offered there sold at high prices. Scotch.—Laid Cheviot still moves slowly; white High land is much wanted, but none forward yet of the new clip; laid Highland of good quality and light. is very saleable, also good laid Galloway; laid Cross is not eagerly sought after; white Cheviot gets cleared as it arrives : the business of the month is a good one. English and Irish.—More hasbeen done in English fleeces, at rather easier rates ; the Yarn markets continue very depressed. Irish fleeces are very unsaleable, excepting at a great reduction. Very little doing in Combing Skin.—The market has been dull for Oil, with the exception of the closing part the month, and holders are now asking ss. to 10s. per ton advance. With regard to the Manchester trade, Messrs. M`Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, state that— "The outward appearance of the market would appear to be assuming gradually a character so materially different to its actual and practical condition, that, however honest and well intentioned the issuer of any trade report may be, his state ments of actual details must assume a questionable character in the opinion of some at a distance, who are unacquainted with the locality in which we live, and its real workings, influences, and tendencies. In the face of the characteristics to which we have alluded, an abiding sense of duty and of conviction obliges us to report the existence of a large =bunt of business having been transacted during the present and closing month, notwithstanding the external features, which have a very dull, declining, inanimate, and cheerless form. During . the early and greater portion of the month, continuous and increasing dulness prevailed, accompanied, as previously existing con tracts expired, wi:n a gradual decline in the prices of both .Cloth and Yarns, and more particularly so as regarded those of each adopted for India and China ; winch resulted not only in An,increase of supply, but in a resolute determination on the part of spinners and manufacturers to accept yielding and market terms for their respective productions. Had cotton remained firm, matters would have been different. The low prices prevailing ten days ago for India' Cloths and Yarns, anduced.very considerable purchases, which have had the effect of not only : removing any accumulation of stock generally, but of placing many manufacturers and spinners again under con tract. As.you %ill have perceived, the decline in prices bps reference materially to India Yarns and Cloths; every thing else having und ergone b u t littl e c h ange, and having sustained their values with remaaable firmness, considering the decline upon cotton. Prices of India Yarn and Goods, particularly, continue, as they have been throughout the month, very irre gular and conflicting. According to the position of each pro ducer so are they determinable; one may be found asking Id. per lb. more for his yarns, and 3d. to6d. per piece for his cloths than his neighbour; in a word, the only m ?ens of arriving at Ole Talee of any particular llrliOe t is through the medium of an abso7ute offer. Stocks are again generally light; indeed, neither as regards cloths or yarns can any great , quantity be meet with. So far, however, as the present feelingisconcerned, spinners and manufacturers are comparatively again unwilling sellers, unless at rates which satisfy them. Their position, generally, is now much more favourable ; a larger margin be ing now perceptible between the cost of the raw material, and that of the manufactured article, than at any period, we think, since the lowest mint in 1818. As regards the demand for the country trade, nu material improvement can be noticed. Should the growing crops be favourably matured, a decided ch ange may ensue; and of it. that is all -that can be stated. The demand for North America,—Centria, and the other colo nies,—has been to a fair extent generally; but, so far as domes• tics are concerned, the much cheaper productions of the United States nave caused purchases in some description of them to be unimportant. Sonic samples produced at Lowell. which have been submitted to us for inspection and comparison, have in duced several purchases on the other side of the Atlantic. How such goods can there be produced to sell at the prices given. with a profit, is beyond our comprehension. So far, therefore, as heavy calicoes are concerned, the United States are in the ascendant. That, however, profitably viewed, can not long continue." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

Rock Ferry of old has been renowned for regattas ; some of the best-contested rowing matches ever witnessed in this neighbourhood have taken place on that part of the river which lies between Tranmere and New Ferry slips, the " Royal Rock Ferry" being , generally the starting-post. &the years ago we had as aquatic dub, of very decent pretensions, their depot being at Monks' Perry, whose annual meeting was looked forward to with , great interest by all lovers of such sports. At that time boats from Chester, Lancaster, Preston, Manchester, and even Dublin, used to enter the lists against the Liverpool oaramen, and in each of these contests our local pullers acquitted themselves with credit. Not the least inte resting of these was held on the coronation of her present Majesty;. b 't the waters of the Mersey are of a troubled nature, and too treacherous to intrust the safe keeping of such slim craft as those known by the name of " race-gigs," and some deplorable accidents have some• times happened to mar the pleasures of the day. That, mighty innovator of many of our time-honoured retreats—the railway—ousted the club from their snug abiding-place at Monks' Ferry, to make way for the pre sent station there, and since that tine the members have wandered about, seeking for a " local habitation and a name," until at last the majority have deposited their boats at Rock Ferry, as being next in convenience. These, and other causes, have contributed to render the r' gattas of late years tether sorry affairs, and the conse quence has been a falling off in the number of visitors attending these displays. This year, however, through the energy of a number of the gentlemen of the neigh bourhood, the arrangements were on a most liberal scale, and the celebration resumed some of its ancient spirit. Yesterday the weather was all that could be desired—a cloudless sky, with light airs just sufficient to ripple the surface of the water, and display to their full advantage the gal/ flaes with which the different boats were distin guished. The royal mail steamer Canada, and the United States mail steamer Baltic, which were lying in the Sloyne, were also bedecked with colours, and the latter fired salutes nt intervals during the afternoon. The tide ;yes at the full about half-past four, and th• broad expanse of the Mersey, studded with craft of every description, presented a delightful prospect. Even the lazarettes—more familiarly known as " the old hulks"— ; appeared, from the excitement of the scene, to wear a less sombre appearance than usual. A great coneregation of well-dressed persons lined the esplanade at Rock Ferry, and even the slip was crowded by those anxious to obtain a view of the races. Amongst the company there was a pretty gond sprinkling of the fair sex, and we observed the following gentlemen, who were acting as stewards on the occasion :—William Hall, Esq., John Tomlinson, H, Walfoid, Wm. Lyon, W. H. Banner, Wm. Wallis, A. A. Tumour, J. Okell. Wm. Parkinson. B. C. Parkinson, J. B. Tomlinson, W. F. Morecroft, Edward Bayliffe, W. P. Watson, Charles Turner, H. Greenham, Robert Paterson, V. T. Matins, Joseph Haselden. J. M'Diarmid, J. Ronald, Jas. Crossfield, J. Grimed, R. Okell, and N. Motecroft, Riqrs. C. M'lver, Esq.. had courteously placed the mail tender Satellite at the disposal of the committee, on board of which a select party were invited, who filled up the time between the races in Terpsichorean delights, to the enlivening strains of Messrs. Phillin's quadrille band. The clipper pilot cutter "Auspicious" was moored off Rock Ferry, as the " flag-ship," a most appropriate name in this instance, as she was literally covered with streamers, both fore and aft, from the deck to the mast-bead. Jonathan Grind rod, Esq., vice-president of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, was on board of her acting as " umpire," and J. K. Sutton, Esq., who placed himself in a river gig, made an excellent " starter." The first race was announced for two o'clock, but did not take place till nearly half-past, which caused a corresponding delay in the subsequent races. The course in all cases was, from inside the slag-sh:p, moored off Rock Ferry, round a boat moored off beyond New Ferry. and " home again," win ning abreast the flag-ship. The first race on the " Kur rekt-kard" was for THE MER‘EY PLATE, value 15 soya., second boat 2 soya., for four-oa ed boats not exceeding 30 feet keel, to be rowed and steered by gentlemen amateurs. Crew not to av,rage more than 10 stone per man, exclusive bf coxswain. There were three boats entered for this race, all of which started, namely : Nil Desperandum (Rock Ferry)—Blue Peter.—i. Robert ()ken ; 2. Cholmley Woodward ; 3. John RPM urdo ; James Richardson, stroke; Charles Richardson, coxswain. 1 Mystery (Rock Ferry)—Scarlet and white.—l. Edward Clint; 2. N. Morecroft ; 3. W. F. Morecroft; Timothy Grindrod, stroke; Jonathan Grindrod, jun. coxswain Rough and Ready (Dublin)—Green.-1. M'Allister; 2. Rynd; Neville, stroke; a choice coxswain There was a fair start for this race, and for some dis tance the boats pulled well together ' • but the Mystery eventually took the lead, with the Nil Desperandum close on her, while the Dublin boat (the Rough and Ready) dropped far astern, and on rounding home gave up the contest. Previous to this the Mystery had " fouled" the Nil Desperandum, immediately after turning the boat, and although she was first boat in, the race was claimed by, and eventually, we believe, decided in favour of the Nil Desperandum, whose young crew had pulled steadily throughout. There was some disappointment at the result of this race. the Mystery being a new boat, built ny the celebrated Henry Clasper, of Newcastle, and great expec tations having consequently been formed of hercapabilities. However, the two last-named boats were again matched, with the same crews, in a subsequent race, with what re sult will be hereafter seen. The next race was for THE CHESHIRE STAKES, value 3 toys., second boat to save stake, For four-oared boats, not exceeding 30 feet keel, to be rowed and steered by gentlemen amateurs, subscribers to the regatta fund, not rowing in the other money prizes.

The boats started together, head and head, and for some distance the contest was doubtful, but by good steering the Echo rounded first, and passed the win nine-post several lengths ahead of the Crusader. Nov came the great event of the day, the cup race, on the probable result of which the most intense excitement prevailed; for, in addition to the two principal opponents in the first race being entered, (the Nil Desperandum being named this time the Phantom,) report spnke of a certain boat which had travelled "overland" from Dublin, barring the " bit of a herrin' brook" between Kingstown and Holyhead, every man of the crew of which was a broth of a boy," from the Dublin Rowing Club, and one and all determined to "go in and win." It was named on the card— THE ROYAL ROCK FERRY CUP, value 25 SM.; second boat 5 sovs. For four-oared boats, any length, (not being out riggers.) to be rowed ar.d steered by gentlemen amateurs. Shamrock (Pullin)—Green.-1. Duff. 2. Rynd. 3. Shaw. Neville, stroke. A choice coxswain Mystery (Rock Ferry)—Scarlet and white.-1. Edward Clint. 2. Norman Morecroft. 3. W. F. Morecroft. Timothy Grind rod, stroke. Jonathan Grindrod, jun., coxswain Phantom (Rock Ferry) Blue Peter-1 Robert O'Kell ;2 C. Woodward; 3 John M`Murdo ; J. Richardson, stroke; C. Richardson, cox-swain 3 The betting was greatly in favour of the Irish boat, for beside having a crew of picked men, it was said the Sham rock bad 42 feet keel, while tho other two boats had barely 30 feet a-piece. There was some difficulty in get ting the boats placed, but at last a start was effected, the Shamrock getting slightly a-head. There was a beau tiful race to the turning post, the Shamrock being slightly in front of the Mystery. By a most skilful manoeuvre of her steersman, however, she got round first, and " headed homewards." Now came the " tug of war." The Phantom got round immediately after, and, by a desperate effort on the part of her young crew, shot nearly a boat's length in advance. The Shamrock being a longer boat, had to take a wider sweep, and on getting fairly round, steered direct for the winning post, while the other two boats made for the shore, and continued to " hug the land" until close to the Rock Ferry, in order to escape the force of the current, as the tide was still " flowing." The consequence was that she had not near so much "ground to get over" (if we may be allowed such a term), and although the other boats appeared to be " leading her," she, by keeping a straighter course, arrived " off" the Auspicious first, winning by about three lengths. The " steady, sharp stroke" of the " Sons of Green Erin" was admired by every one, and they were saluted with deafening cheers on reaching the winning post. The con test for " second boat" between the Mystery and Phan tom was most severe, the latter giving up the contest when about fifty yards from home, after pulling a most " plucky ' race. Same objection was raised as to the course taken by the Shamrock, but. the committee at once decided in her favour. Next year we believe the managers of the regatta intend making this a £5O cup, when it is expected that boats from Chester and other places famed for rowing clubs will be induced to try their skill with us. After the cup race followed the FLATMAN or BOAT MAN'S Patzu, value—first boat two sovereigns; 2nd boat, one soy. ; and 3rd boat 10s. This was intended to have been a sculling match for " punts," but on account of none "showing up" to enter, it was changed to a row ing match for " river gigs." Some " tough old salts" were the competitors in this race, and the pulling exhi bited great endurance, the boats eventually coming in as follows :-- The Fly, A. Williams owner (green) Good Intent, R. Holt owner (black) 2 Star of Temperance, (blue) 3 By some sad mistake the helmsman of the Star of Temperance steered his boat " high and dry" on the New Ferry Slip, giving rise to certain doubts as to his being a rigid disciple of the doctrine of which his boat would seem, from her name, to be a " shining light." The next race was for MR, HUNTRISS'S PURSE, value, Ist boat 10 SOPS., 2nd boat S sows. For two-oared boats, to be rowed and steered by Gen tlemen Amateurs. Weight race, as in first race. Elfin (Rock Ferry)—blue and white.-1. C. Woodward; Jas. Richardson, stroke; A. Tomlinson, coxswain Princess (Dublin)—green. -1. M'Allister; Manley, stroke; C. Richardson, coxswain Firefly (Rock Ferry)—scarlet and white.-1. Robert Birkett ; S. Cunningham. stroke; Thompson, coxswain 3 The Princess led off; the Elfin, however, gradually drew up, overhauled, and headed her, and from the turning post had it all her own way, winning by several lengths. The next was a " scratch race" for beaten boats, called THE HURRY SCURRY STAKES, for four silver oars and rudder. There were four entries for this race, but only three boats started, and after a close contest, the following was the result:—Rough and Ready, 1; Echo, 2 ; Crusader, 3. THE HELTER SKELTER STEAKS for two silver oars and rudder, (conditions same as previous race), was the last contended for, in which the Echo,.under the title of the Whisper, was winner. The order in which they arrived was as follows :—Whisper, lot; Elfin, 2nd; Templer, 3rd; Erin. go-Bragh, 4th. On our return to Liverpool, the steamer we were in called at the Canada, to rece 7 ve on board " the watch," , whose turn it was " ashore," during the embrrkation of whom a most ludicrous scene was presented. On nearing the steamer's side we heard the " bo'sun's" shrill whistle pipe up all hands, and on getting alongside there was a perfect scramble to get on board the small boat. Besides squeezing through a narrow gangway, there was a coal•flat to climb over—no easy matter when it is considered that every , one was loaded with something or other. Clothes-bags, kits, brooms, buckets, portman `leans, pumpkins, pictures, hat boxes, hair trunks, and even lumps of " salt junks" followed each other in a heterogeneous mass over the ship's sides, and were thrown here, there, and everywhere, on to the decks of the " Star." And when our gallant captain signified his in. tention of going, by ringing a small bell, there was a per fect "rush" of seamen stewards, cooks, cabin boys, and coal-trimers, butchers, and bakers, all shoving, pushing, and crushing, for fear of " missing their passage." We l thought the stream would never end, and after counting' seventy-nine, gave it up as "a hopeless case," when sud denly a " lady" made her appearance, and demanded to be put on board, on pain of somebody's " eyes" being " scratched." Perhaps the less slid ahont how she did get on boar& the better; but it certainly was not in the arms of her husband, and a hearty laugh was caused by , the evident token which her light dress bore of having been in the hands of one of the sooty individuals who was assisting to " coal " the Canada. At last, however, we were once more on our way to Liverpool, and landed on " the stage" at precisely fifteen minutes past six,— Greenwich time !

On Friday morning the large party of guests invited from the metropolis, by the city of Paris. to partake of its splen did hospitalities in honour of the Great Exhibition, took their departure from the London-bridge terminus of the South-Eastern Railway. The first train. though a suffi ciently long one, was found entirely unable to accommo date all the visitors, and a second, and we believe even a third, followed. The arrangements for the occasion were nearly as bad as they could be. Passengers, after a suc cessful struggle for seats, found themselves separated from their luggage, and there remained in most perplexing uncertainty as to whether it would ever reach them again. Ladies were in despair about their finery left behind them upon the platform of the terminus, frequently without any address, and gentlemen suffered no less grievously at the prospect of being debarred from the fetes by the loss of their portmanteaus. In vain had Court dresses and such like vanities been carefully packed away if their owners could not have them, and even several of the alder men felt downcast and overcome by a railway manage ment which sent them off to a foreign land without their chains and scarlet gowns. The first train, after a rapid run with one of Craropton's engines, reached Folkestone in perfect safety. There two steam packets were ready to receive its passengers, and these being rapidly freighted stood out to sea ; every person on board in good heart, and determined if possible to bid defiance to the sea sick ness. The civic majesty of London was present, and around his semi-regal person were assembled some of the most substantial pillars of his state. Of course all the foreign commissioners are invited guests on this occasion, and is goodly number of these distinguished persons were on board the steamers which started from Folkestone to Boulogne on Friday afternoon. The weather was not at all boisterous, but there was a perplexing hubbub and jumble in the channel which soon told unfavourably upon the happiness of the pleasure seeke-s. The ladies were the first victims—but they did not suffer alone—and many a masculine form was pros trate before the voyage, short as it is. was half over. The most affecting spectacle of all was furnished by the Man darin Keying, of the Chinese Junk, who, it will be remem bered figured so prominently at the state opening of the exhibition, and whom, with a touch of kindliness and hu mour, the city of Paris had not forgot in its wide spread hospitalities. The worthy mandarin showed his usual cheerfulness and happy composure of manner for a very little time after the steamer left Folkestone harbour. Probably his long sojourn on the river at the foot of Essex-street has unfitted him for tempting with impunity the briny deep. He took up his position very scientifically amidships, seated low, with his elbows resting on his knees and his ace buried in his hands. But no precaution would avail, nature had its way, and the Chinaman looked extremely miserable at intervals until they reached Bou logne. There the comfort and cheerfulness of the party were restored, as far the loss of theirluggage would permit, and, indeed, they had great cause to rejoice. For the first time in the history of the two countries, passports SS well as custom-house surveillance were dispensed with. The directors of the,Boulogne and Amiens Railway had provided there a very elegant dijeaner. To this kind entertainment the most ample justice was done, and speeches of a complimentary and international character followed, in which Dr. Lyon Playfair and the Lord Mayor took part on behalf of England. At Amiens the National Guard turned out to receive the party, and refreshments in the shape of wine and biscuits were laid out in the sta tion. Darkness had set in, however, and it was past nine before the first portion of the visitors reached the Paris terminus. The rest came later, and until long after mid night an active hunt was kept up for apartments, Meurice's and the other hotels frequented by our country men being crammed to the doors with the unusual influx of people. Upwards of 1,000 persons are calculated to have availed themselves of the proffered hospitalities of the French capital. ; With reference to the banquet and concert at the Hotel de Ville, with which the fetes were inaugurated on Satur day evening, the preparations were on the most splendid scale, and the stateliness and beauty of the building itself insured for them a triumphant success. Covers were laid for 500 guests in the beautiful galerie deg./Wks. When the entertainment terminated—which was at an early hour, and went off magnificently—the hall was, by a coup de thedtre, converted into a concert room, while the company distributed themselves through one of the finest suites of apartments in Europe. A garden was improvised in the Cour de Louis XIV., with trrees, flower beds, statues, and a beautifnl fountain. in the Salon de la Republique a pretty little theatre was constructed, on which were per formed Le Midkin Malgre" lui, by Mesdames Brohan and Denain, and MM. Provost, Got, and Delaunay. The play divided the attention of the guests with the concert, and the ?fight's festivities were fully worthy the reputation of the Parisians for tastefal decoration and arrangement. The banquet itself was a triumph of French cookery. The predilections of our countrymen for solid fare were. on the other hand, not overlooked, and a Durham ox, roasted whole, formed the principal pike de resistance and took the place d'honneur among the dishes on a special pedestal of its own. On Sunday the civic representatives were to visit Versailles, yesterday to dine with the President of the Republic. at St. Cloud. This morning they were to meet Lord and Lady Normanby, this evening to be at the Hotel de Ville again, and on to-morrow (Wednesday), a sham fight and review are to take place. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On, Saturday a boy belonging to the vessel Guy Mannering, now lying in dock, fell from one of the yards, and was instantaneously killed. It was stated that the fatal occurence was caused by one of the men, and he was brought before Mr. Mansfield, yesterday, and remanded until an inquest hes been held. On Sunday last, three sermons were preached in St. Peter's Church, Preston, when collections were made for defraying the church expenses. Those in the morning and evining. were by the Rev. Dr. Hume of this town, and that in the afternoon by the Rev. J. 0. Parr, M.A., Vicar of Preston and Rural Dean. PUBLIC MEETING OF CORN MILLERS IN LIVERPOOL. — On Tuesday next, the 12th instant, a public meeting of the corn millers, and others interested in the trade, will be held in the Corn Sales Room, Brunswick-street, oppo site the Corn Exchange, to take into consideration the propriety of representing to perlismeut the difficulties by which they are et present beset. THE R MATTA DINNER. At eight o'clock the stewards. with a number of their friends, sat down to a splendid dinner, provided by Mr. Huntriss. in the large room adjoining the hotel at Rork Perry. The viands were choice, and the tables loaded to an extravagant excess. W. Hall, Esq , one of our Lancashire as well as Cheshire magistrates, occupied the chair. After the cloth was re- , moved, he proposed " The Queen," "Prinre Albert," &c., " The Army and Navy," all of which were received with loud enthusiasm. The Chairman then proceeded to award the prizes, the presentation of each of which was prefaced with a pertinent address bearing generally on the importance and the benefits of encourag ing those manly exercises which might in cases of emergency become so highly important to the welfare of a nation. After an evening spent in the greatest hilarity, the company separated—the victors delighted with their success—the vanquished looking forward to contests of future years. After the sports of the day had closed, the rentlemen who are members of the billiard club. held at Mr. Craf ter's, the Derby Arms Hotel, as a token of the respect they entertain towards the worthy landlord, sat down to a sumptuous dinner to commemorate the event. We need hardly state, from the well-known celebrity of the host, (who for many years superintended the large establishment of Sir Wm. Stanley, at Hooton Hal), that the wines and viands were of the choicest and best quality. After the cloth was drawn, the usual loyal and national toasts were given, ar.d ably responded to, by the members of the club. Conviviality and harmony reigned until a late hour, and all departed much gratified with the cour tesy and attention displayed by Mr. Crafter. During the afternoon and evening, Mr. Peter Stubbs, with his efficient harmonic band, was in attendance on the lawn, and contributed much to the enjoyment of the com pany, by performing at intervals the latest polkas and marches of the season. FREE -TRADE, CURRENCY, AND PROTECTION.—Jona than Duncan, Esq., will deliver a lecture in the Music ball, Great Nelson-street, this evening, (Tuesday,) at eight o'clock. AMPRITHEATRE.—During the week the piece Ingomar has been repeated before crowded audiences. The acting of Miss Vandenhoff as Parthenia was, without doubt, one of the most classical and truly elegant pieces of acting that could be brought upon the stazu ; and we need hardly say how highly it was appreciated. The acting of Mr. Barry Sullivan, as Ingomar, was highly effective and natural, and had its full weight in the development of the piece. On Friday evening Miss Vandenhoff took her benefit, as Pauline, in the " Lady of Lyons," and as Rosalind, in " As you like it." We regret that our space will not allow us to attempt to do justice to the very excellent performances. All parts of the house were crowded to excess, and well has Miss Vandenhoff de served rush a bumper. "~ R~' o u o k ltk ~~E ~~~~c e~ q•~~ `
