Yibtrpaot *fitabArV. TUESDAY 31ORNING, AUGUST 31, 1552. THE WEEK WE can most heartily pity all " London Correspond ents," who, in these dull and uneventful times, are compelled to make an effort to amuse and edify with their daily or weekly lucubrations. Our con temporary, the London 7 imes, we observe, has had, during the past week, to fish up for matter, and to " fudge up" rather odd subjects for comment in his columns. A letter, as usual, furnished him, on Friday, with the material for a column of twaddle anent what he calls the "subsidizing" of the Rival Cunard and Collins Lines of Steamers, by the go vernments of Great Britain and the United States. Tne Times says : Between Liver P 0 there are running An cro lines of rican, en couraged in each c large grants of money from their to perform the voyage in the governmei And he contends that these steamers having thus far run a neck and neck race, and the difference between their respective performances being very small, though in favour of the American boats, the allowances made by both governments ought to cease, and the public be left in the enjoyment of such benefits only as are likely to be derived from " the stimulus of free competition." Our contem porary forgets that the allowance which he calls a s received by the the reward for vessels at the Without subsidy" and " a bounty, Cunard Company, at all events, as carrying the mails, and placing the disposal of the Post-office authorities. some such " subsidy," we should probably be con demned to have our correspondence with the United States carried by some slow Admiralty steamers, at six times the cost nationally, and at a hundred times the cost to the mercantile community. Has the Times ever considered what is the saving of interest of money to that community, arising from remit tances between the two countries being facilitated by fast sailing steamers ? or has he ever thought of the advantage to the British manufacturer of being kept regularly advised of the demand in the Ame rican market for the goods which he produces ? Independently of these considerations, however, it is certain that, on national grounds, America will do her utmost to protect the enterprize of her own citizens, and will certainly not allow a rival nation to engross the postal and passenger traffic between Great Britain and her vast continent. _ When the fat knight of Shakespeare, Sir John Falstaff, hacked his rapier, in the hope of proving that he had been engaged in a terrific conflict with the men in buckram suits, at Gadshill, he little ex pected that the example would be followed, from similar motives, by a Priest of the Church of Rome. Such, however, appears to have been the course of Father Clune, one of the heroes of the Six-mile-bridge affair, if we may believe the fol lowing letter which appeared in the columns of a London contemporary last week : SIR,—I see, by the proceedings at the Six-mile-bridge inquest on last Saturday, that mention was made of the wounds in Priest Clune's hat, and I therefore beg to communicate to you, for the edification of the English public, a description of the hole which he alleges was made in his hat by a bullet. The hole is immediately above the hatband ; it leads directly inwards, and is formed of three flaps, which meet at the centre. No part of the substance of the hat has been carried away. There is an opening in the lining of the hat corres ponding to the outer one, but of quite a different cha racter, being long and partly torn. The most wonderful part, however, of the affair is, that there is no hole at the opposite side of the hat for the exit of the ball, thus rendering it certain that if the ball did penetrate the hat, it must be still somewhere in the wearer's brain. A CLARE MAN. With respect to the conclusion arrived at by the writer, as conveyed in the paragraph given in italics, we would suggest a different version. There has been a miracle here, infinitely more striking than that of the winking picture, the ad dolorata, or the ecxtatica, so devoutly believed in by the Earl of Shrewsbury. We rather fancy that the bullet, unable to penetrate to the rev. gentle man's brains, must have returned by the way it came, or that the rev. gentleman has been abusing his own hat, after Falstaff's fashion, with the point of a walking stick or a poker. It is singular to observe with what anxiety some of our free trade organs seize hold of every little rumour likely to create alarm, and to advance the price of the very crop which it has been the object of their legislation to depreciate. The following is a specimen, culled from the columns of the Man chester Guardian of Wednesday last : " It is very generally believed that throughout the south and west of the island the wheat in particular is ex tremely defective in quality and short in quantity ; many examples hare occurred where the crop has been sold for the value of little more than the straw ! These facts, added to other considerations, such as the exhausted state of the home stocks of wheat, the failure of the potato crops, and the empty state of the bonded warehouses, are even now calculated to create some alarm with respect to the future." Had the writer been hired by the "bulls" of all the Corn Exchanges in the kingdom, he could not have perpetrated more preposterous rubbish. We should like to be informed of one of the "many examples" where " the crop has been sold for little more than the straw." As for " the empty state of the bonded warehouses," our contemporary ought to know that a single moderate-sized warehouse would contain all the bonded grain that there has been in this country at any period during the last two years. Whilst railway directors are devising more strin gent monopolies, they appear bent upon outraging public feeling by the gross carelessness with which they manage their business. Formerly most striking statements used to be made with respect to the superior safety of railway over stage-coach travelling. But at present the case is altered. Collisions are everyday affairs. Luggage trains run into excursion trains ; engines run into wrong sidings ; and when some score or two of unfortunate passengers are crushed, and probably maimed for life, all the satis faction which the public receives is to hear that a pointsman or an engine driver has been found guilty of manslaughter, or, as in the instance recorded by us this week, has hung himself in order to escape the penalties resulting from such a verdict. Yet the public have a lively impression that the directors themselves, in most cases, and not their servants, ought to be arrai g ned at the bar of justice to answer for the casualties daily occurring. We ought to know what these gentlemen, whilst looking for increased dividends,allow to such servants as points men, to whose vigilance the lives of thousands are en trusted, for their 18 or 20 hours of duty each day. We ought to know also of what class they are. The result of an inquiry into the matter would be, that whilst a few head officials are overpaid, and whilst members of boards of directors themselves are not above pocketing handsome allowances, the rank and-file in their employ are of a very inferior class, and miserably underpaid. Another fact, we sus pect, would transpire from a searching investigation, viz., that sufficient attention is not paid to the condition of engines and carriages. The system of contracting for keeping " rolling stock" in order is an extremely dangerous one. Probably the remedy will ultimately have to be adopted of a periodical inspection either by Government officers or some other authorised parties. A great number of the recent accidents by railways appear to have occurred through trains not keeping their proper time. The public ought to be able to remedy this mismanage ment. When companies announce the times of departure and arrival of their trains, parties who are inconvenienced by the non-fulfilment of this virtual contract ought to have a civil remedy. Per haps forfeiture of the fare would have some effect. CHEERING INDICATIONS. " GRACIOUS heaven—loud cheers !!" An as tonished and indignant journalist thus marks his disgust at the low state of public morality in Gal way, as it was evinced by the reception of the Lord Lieutenant. His excellency's able and conciliatory speech was received by persons of all religious and political denominations, and chiefly by the Roman Catholic gentry who crowded the banquet ball, with loud and unanimous cheers ; and this sets the Freeman's Journal gnashing its teeth, and ejaculat ing, after the strange fashion we have above quoted —" Gracious heaven—loud cheers ! t" But, on consideration, we can hardly blame our contemporary's innocent amazement; for the p ar t of the lord lieutenant's speech which commanded those tokens of assent was that in which "Ireland's miseries are traced to the feuds which prevail among us—to the turbulence which prevents the employ ment of her industry, the development of her re sources, and the outlay of strangers' capital." This statement was cheered by the Roman Catholic aristocracy and farming gentry of Galway, on the very first opportunity that was allowed them to manifest their real feelings and opinions, after the riotous proceedings of the general election; and the heartiness with which the response was made may reasonably disconcert persons who are profes akiAlly cßaceracd gai§ltading the popul Ecli46l THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 185 q. as to the true causes of things. Those cheers are an emphatic protest against the language of the hustings and the chapel altar. They give the lie rather uncivilly to Dr. WHale's outrageous harangue, pronounced in the same town but three weeks before, but to which no man durst then reply, in presence of the sanguinary and violent rabble which lie had marshalled around him. They declare, in accents not to be misunderstood, how little unison of sentiment there is between the enlightened and respectable portion of The Roman Catholic community and the leaders of the present agitation. They show what a palpable sham is the affected alarm about religious liberty, with which a turbu lent priesthood seek to veil their intolerant and domineering purposes Not a single dissentient voice was raised against that which the Freeman's Journal, in very vexation of spirit, calls " a libel upon our wronged and unfortunate nation." In no subsequent speech of the evening—although the meeting was addressed by gentlemen who have used the dishonest cries of the day as stepping-stones to parliamentary honours —was even a single qualifying remark insinuated, to detract from the truth—which all felt—of his Excellency's observations. Amongst the company, comprising several honourable gentlemen, members of the Brigade, and the lately elected representatives of the town and county of Galway, together with at least two hundred independent gentlemen, of the same religious persuasion, not one expressed an opinion in the slightest degree at variance with those of which the " cheers," so disgracious in the Freeman's eye, marked the unanimous and signifi cant adoption. There are, in fact, but two parties into which the whole Irish community at present resolves itself : one is a party aiming at the exclusive ap propriation of all power, authority, liberty, and property by the priests and the lower class of land holders ; to the other, every man who cares for civilization, and protection from anarchy and out rage, must be a well-wisher. The latter will cheer such a speech as that of the Lord Lieutenant at Galway, wherever it is safe for them to do so.— Dub/in Evening Mail. PROGRESS OF THE DEMAND FOR RECIPROCITI. WHEN Free-trade was in its zenith, the manufacturing classes were indignant at the idea that injury could be sustained by them. They were prepared, they said, for any competition which the foreigner could bring against them ; and they were satisfied, too, that the foreigner would shortly imitate our example, and open his markets, without reserve, to the British producer and manufac turer. We have heard since a few grumblings at the suc cessful competition with which the manufacturing interest is met. The manufacturers of stuff goods in Bradford, for example, recently complained that French inerinoes were being introduced to the detriment of their trade in these articles. At the same time, that it is thus discovered that foreigners can beat us in these goods, if of the finest quality, it is felt as a serious grievance that we are pre vented by hostile tariffs from introducing into their mar kets those coarser fabrics, in the production of which we undoubtedly excel. The same discovery has just been made by the linen manufacturers of the North of Ireland. The government of France levies an almost prohibitory duty upon the linen yarns produced in that part of Ireland. Formerly those duties were barely 10 to 15 per cent. At present they are so far enhanced as to shut out the manu facturing interest of this kingdom from all chance of vend ing their productions at a profit in the French markets. On Saturday week, a special meeting of the Belfast Chamber of Commerce was held, for the purpose of endea vouring to bring about a change in the policy of the French Government, by proposing that French wines be admitted at a low duty, provided that country would reciprocate. One of the speakers on the occasion, Mr. John Ferguson, a leading merchant of Belfast, and an ardent Free-trader, thus expounded his views : " They had already granted a great deal to France. On the importation of corn the duty had been altogether remitted, and that had conferred on France a great amount of benefit. He should be sorry to see that mea sure in any way altered, or any duty laid upon foreign corn ; but he contended that by the repeal of the duties on grain France had been benefited largely, while that coun try had done nothing whatever towards acting reciprocally with England. (Hear, hear.) Seeing what had occurred, he did not believe that the Government of France would admit the manufactures of England at a lower duty than at present, though England should reduce the duty on the wines of France. Though we had reduced the duties on the produce of France, that country had never yet shown the slightest inclination to act upon the same principle with us ; and he therefore thought that, instead of adopt ing such a memorial as was before them, they should rather speak to their own Government, and call upon them to say to other powers that if they did not reduce the duties on British industrial produce, the British Govern ment would not reduce on theirs. His idea was that of a differential duty between nations that took manufactures from us free, and those nations that would not admit our manufactures." (Hear, hear.) The admission made by Mr. Ferguson is a most valuable one. We have " granted a great deal to France," and to other countries as well; and we have met with little return for our liberality. Most cordially do we adopt his idea, as to a" differential duty between nations that take manufac tures from us free, and those nations that will not admit our manufactures." But we should be disposed to go a little further than this, remembering that there are other interests in the community besides manufacturing inter ests. There are countries whose grain we admit free, and who close their markets against the grain of our colonists. The Government of the United States excludes rigidly from their markets the grain of Canada. We should be delighted to see the principle, propounded by Mr. Fergu son, carried out so as to :bind to us in sympathy our Canadian fellow-country men. Independently of the question of reciprocity, we should be glad to see some concession made to the pro ducers of wines in France. We have been for the last half century binding down our population to the con sumption of the heavy and drugged wines of Portugal and Spain ; and what have these countries done for us in return ? The latter has robbed us atrociously ; and both refuse anything in the shape of reciprocity. The intro duction of the light wines of France would be a boon to this country ; but we much doubt whether their admis sion into our markets would, per se; be sufficient to in duce France to deal fairly by us. Probably the best recipe would be Mr. Ferguson's proposed retaliatory system. THE ISLE OF MAN, AND ITS ATTRAC- TIONS FOR SUMMER VISITORS THE ISLE OF MAN has for many years past been a favourite summer resort for the inhabitants of our manufacturing districts, of every class. From its fresh and pure air, its pellucid waters, and its quietude, thousands have gathered renewed vigour to enable them to combat the effects of the toil and smoke of our large towns ; and many a va luable life has been prolonged by its health-restoring influences. Notwithstanding, that by the increase of Railway facilities, we have had of late opened out to us easy approaches to most of the famed watering-places of the North of England—that Southport is now but half an hour's distance from Liverpool, and Scarborough is only a few hours' distance—" the Island" not only re mains in favour as the spot for a summer's trip, but it is becoming increasingly popular. During the present season more persons have visited Douglas and Ramsey than in any previous season, even when tempted by rates of passage ruinously low, as the result of opposition steamers running ; and we feel satisfied that it requires only the exhibition of a little more spirit on the part of the inhabitant Capitalists of the Island to ensure for it, on the part of the public, a much more extended meed of appreciation. Some very groundless, or at all events misdirected charges have recently been made by some of our contem poraries against the Steam-Packet Company, whose vessels ply to and from the island, for not supplying the amount of accommodation required ; and one of them, we observe, advocates the establishment of an opposing line. Ano ther suggests a line from Liverpool to Ramsey—certainly one of the prettiest towns in the island. We venture, however, to remark that there is not the slightest occasion for any such ruinous competition as would result from either of these proposals being adopted, as we are quite satisfied that the present company, aided by the inhabi tants and the authorities, are perfectly capable of not only supplying the wants of the public, but of promoting at the same time the advantage of the island. The first thing that is wanted is such an improvement of the P ier at Douglas harbour as would do away with the nuisance of the present landing boats, and with the necessity of using the present inconvenient and miserable jetty. An exten sion of the Pier would effect both these objects ; and at the same time a handsome promenade might be formed, which would materially add to the enjoyment of the inhabitants and visitors, to whom it might be open on payment of a small fee, or a subscription. Several of our southern watering-places —as for example Gravesend — owe their recent prosperity to such works. There is nothing, in fact, which adds so materially to the attractions of our marine towns as convenient pro menades, which may be made available at all time* of the tide, and in all seasons ; and in Douglas, situated as it is in one of the prettiest bays in the world, commanding an extensive sea view, frequently enlivened by the arrival and departure of yachts, pleasure-boats, and steamers, a Pier capable of affording such a promenade would be almost invaluable. We beg also to suggest that a small steamer might ply, with profit to the proprietors and ad vantage to the island, between Douglas and Ram sey, leaving the former place when the present boats ar rive, and returning in time for their derarture. The little Fairy, which runs between Menai Bridge and Carnarvon, is an example of the use of such an auxiliary boat ; and were a similar one built for the service between Douglas and Ramsey, she might occasionally be useful for pleasure trips to other parts of the island. It is well known that the present mode of communication between the two towns by land is a very tedious and inconvenient one ; and a ready access to Ramsey would open out to visitors one of the most delightful parts of the island. These improvements, or rather additions to the com forts and means of recreation for visitors, are most desi rable ; and, if our contemporaries would endeavour to promote them, it would much better serve the public than causeless grumbling at the management of the Steam- Packet Company's boats, which are amongst the best of their kind, and commanded by careful,skilful, and attentive captains. With respect to this department, all that is wanted is a convenient winter boat, of a tonnage some where between the King Orry and the Tynwald ; and such a boat, we understand, is at present building, and will be put upon the line in January or February next. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT YESTERDAY. SMUGGLlNG.—Yesterday, before Mr. Mansfield, the stewar.l and cook on board the Niagara, which arrived in the Mersey on Sunday morning, were respectively fined for smuggling tobacco. In the case of the first defendant, the steward, it was sworn that he used threatening lan guage to the Custom-house officer; and although the quantity of tobacco taken from his person was trifling, the charge was pressed against him in consequence of the frequency of the obstructions of this nature offered to the officers. The steward denied that he used the language imputed to him, and said he had only requested to be searched in a private house, instead of i❑ the public street. He was fined 40s. or 14 days' imprisonment.—ln the case of the cook of the Niagara he was fined 10s., or five days in gaol.—The chief mates of the Trident and the City of Glasgow were also convicted of a similar offence and fined, the former in 205., and the latter in 10s. ; and a seaman on board the Glasgow was likewise ordered to pay a penalty of 10s. OBSTRUCTING THE RAILwAY.—The passengers by the Lancashire, Yorkshire, and East Lancashire line of Rail way, at the terminus here, have been for some time greatly annoyed and frequently robbed by a gang of mis chievous lads who climb over the wan in Key-street, and defy the vigilance of the railway officials. Yesterday, one of these offenders was brought before Mr. Mansfield, when he was fined 102. or seven days' imprisonment. HIGHWAY ROBBERIES.—On Friday night two daring highway robberies were committed on two sailors, at dif ferent hours, in the vicinity of Limekiln-lane, and it is presumed both attacks were made by the same parties. In consequence of information given to the police, five well-known characters, three men and two women, were arrested on the charges the same evening. The prosecu. tors are both sailors, and were walking quietly along the road, about eight o'clock in the evening, when they were hustled and knocked down, and one of them, who was severely hurt, robbed of about £2 and some silver. The identity of the prisoners was spoken to by a little boy who witnessed the transaction, but the case was eventually re manded for seven days to admit of further enquiry. Snot. LIFTING.—John Doyle, a poor looking Irish man, was brought up, charged with stealing a watch case from the shop of Mr. Christopher Doherty, pawnbroker, 202, Great Howard-street. The prisoner was seen on Sa turday evening to wrap his hand in his cap, break the window, and then walk off. He was followed and taken into custody, with a watch case in his possession. Com mitted for trial. ROBBING EMPLOYERS.—Five workmen employed by Messrs. A. and G. Holine were brought up charged with stealing lead from some buildings on which they were em ployed at the Workhouse. The case not being complete they were remanded until Wednesday.—William Holden was charged with stealing gold-dust from the shop of Mr. Merrles, gold-beater, John's-lane. The premises were broken into on Wednesday night, and about Ll 5 worth of gold-dust taken away. One of Mr. Merrle's workmen the next day sold some of it to Mr. Heywood, watch maker, Birkenhead, the prisoner at the time being out side the shop. The workman has not yet been appre hended. Remanded for seven days. COINERS.—Two females were brought before the court charged with having implements for coining in their possession. A mould for coining half-crowns was found in the house of one of them. Remanded for seven days. COMMITTALS.—Wm. Pickthall, for stealing a pair of shoes in Denison-street, seven days; Wm. Brown, who was seen jumping over the garden wall of Mr. Crossfield, in Rake-lane, twenty-one days: Mary Grimley and Mary Ann Price, for robbing John Shaw of a pair of boots, whilst asleep in a court in Shaw's-brow, one month each ; Eliza Grogan, for stealing a shawl in Eaton-street, twenty one days; Mary Owens, for stealing a blanket belonging to Eliza Riley, fourteen days; Wm. Barnett, for stealing a pair of trousers and waistcoat belonging to a sailor, fourteen days ; Patrick Cosgrove, for stealing apples in Rake-lane, twenty-one days ; Eliza Ambrose, for robbing an old woman in Chapel-street, one month ; John M'Cabe, for stealing door handles, &c., from a house i❑ Great Richmond-street, three months. WARRINGTON AND ALTRINCHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in the Warrington and Altrincham Junction Railway Company was held yesterday, in the Clarendon-rooms. Gilbert Greenall, Esq., M.P., chairman of the board, presided. The following reports were read by Mr. Sinclair, the secretary : " The directors have pleasure in assuring the proprie tors, that the progress made since the last meeting, in the works on the main line, as detailed in the annexed report from the engineer, has been quite satisfactory to them. Negociations for the whole of the lane not already in the possession of the contractors are being actively pressed forward, so as to avoid the possibility of any delay from this cause in the opening of the line. " To ensure the vigorous prosecution of the works, and the completion of the railway at the earliest possible date, the directors have made two calls, each of XI per share, payable on the Ist of June last, and the 2nd day of September next. _ The directors are happy to say that their opinion, as to the extent of the local traffic to be anticipated from the district traversed by the line, (irrespective of the long through traffic which must necessarily flow over the rail way, as the shortest connecting link between the Mersey and the principal manufacturing and commercial districts of the country,) is confirmed and strengthened by a per sonal inspection of the locality. " The balance sheet, in the form prescribed by the act, has been submitted to the auditors, and approved of by them." ENGINEER'S REPORT. " Reverting to the Report I made prior to your General Meeting on Ist March last, I have now the satisfaction of informing you that the progress of the works on the Main Line between Warrington and Altrincham, has quite equalled the expectations I then held out. " As regards the two heavy works on the Line, I may mention, that the Western abutment of the Bridge over the River Mersey is built up to springing level, and the coffer dam for the eastern abutment is completed, and the foundations excavated. " The progress made at the only other heavy work, namely, the viaduct at Altrincham, has been equally sa tisfactory. The piers for the twenty-nine arches, of which it will consist, are up to the springing level, and already seven arches have been turned. The bridges, over the Washway Turnpike Road at the Southern end, and over the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal at the Northern end of this viaduct, are also in progress. " All the Notices and Plans have been served on the Land Owners, and we are now daily obtaining possession of the property, and all the minor works are being com menced. " Consistently with the object in view of having all the works completed at the same period, I have prepared designs for the stations, which are now ready to be sub mitted to you, and to be placed in the hands of con tractors. " I may remark in conclusion, that the present position of things justifies me in believing that the measure of time for the entire completion of the line and stations, may be fixed at ten months hence, provided possession of the land be duly obtained." From the accounts it appeared that the total amount received in shares was £30,675. The expenditure amounted to £22,968 16s. ; leaving a balance in hand of £7,706 4s. The CHAIRMAN very briefly moved the adoption of the report and accounts. He was not aware that he could give the shareholders any more information than what was contained in the report which had been read. Their anxiety was to complete the line as quickly as possible, and they hoped that the time stated by Mr. Lister, the engineer, would not be exceeded. Mr. WEBSTER, barrister, of London, seconded the adoption of the report. He was glad to find that such progress was making in the construction of the line. He looked upon the opening of this railway as of great conse quence and importance to all interested in the various lines between the Humber and the Mersey. He was sure that all those interests would be materially benefited by the opening of the line. In answer to a question from Mr. Heath, the CHAIR MAN stated that the landowners along the line were very favourable towards it. Three-fourths in number, and nine-tenths in space, had been agreed with. Mr. HOLLAND agreed with Mr. Webster as to the importance of this link of railway, which would connect the Humber by means of the Manchester and Sheffield line, with the docks at Birkenhead. He did not think there was a more important link in the kingdom. At the same time he believed they would have the cheapest line in the country, as regarded construction. The report and accounts were unanimously adopted ; and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the proceedings terminated. LAUNCH OF THE SCREW THREE-DECKER, WINDSOR CASTLE.—Such is the progress made in building this ship at Pembroke, that she will he afloat almost immediately. The largest and most powerful man-of-war in the world is positively to be launched at Pembroke on the 14th of September next, and will then be navigated to Portsmouth to have her 700 horse-power engines fitted, and in other respects to be completed for comminioning.—Morning Herald, CORRESPONDENCE.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL N7'.-INDARD, SIR,—It is well known that there existed in this town, many years ago, a proprietary chapel, in Grosvenor street, Rose-hill, in connection with the Church of England, commonly known as " Bannister's Church," having a grave-yard attached, where a great many inter ments have at variens times taken place. The incumbency of the chapel, it will be recollected, was latterly held by the Rev. Mr. M'Conkey. From sime cause or other, within a very recent period of the Inman Carholics reserving, however, to the grave-owners ti 1, the chapel fc s by purchase nit express; liCful use of the church-yard. So little respect have the Roman Catholics shown for the law, or the feelings of sorrowing relatives, that they have actually given authority for the conversion of the church-yard into a joiner's work-shop, having sheds and a large supply of timber at this very moment covering the whole extent of the ground, which any person may now see by personal inspection. The matter, surely, only requires to be made known to arouse public indignation aga:•nst the perpetration of this . . scandalous outrage, and to call forth a meeting, without delay, of the relatives of those whose earthly remains have been so daringly insulted. Trusting you will give this a place hi your paper of to morrow,—l am, Sir. yours respectful] 30th August, 1532 J. B. K ALL SAINTS' CHURCH SCHOOLS To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SIR,—You will be gratified to learn that a site has been procured for schools in conexion with All Saints' Church, Great Nelson-street North. The ground is on the east side of the Church, and seems to be very suitable. It is to be hoped that the other churches in the surrounding dis tricts, which are without National Schools, will take en couragement from the successful efforts which have been made in All Saints' district, for it is truly lamentable to contemplate the state of ignorance, wretchedness, and vice, so fearfully manifest arouad.—Yours, truly, Liverpool, Aug. 28, 1852. JAS. GILLESPIE. NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROS TREVOR RAILWAY COMPANY. The thirteenth ordinary general meeting of the share holders in the Newry, Warrenpoint, and Rost revor Rail way Company, was held in the Clarendon-rooms, South John-street, yesterday, at 12 o'clock, to transact the ordinary business of the company; and afterwards to be made special, for the purpose of confirming the forfeiture of certain shares, upon which calls are in arrear; and, further, to authorise the directors to sell the same. The chair was occupied by Francis Shand, Esq. The secretary read the report of the directors, which stated that the forfeited shares 'of the company were 1,195, besides 100 shares which had been transferred to them, with security for the payment of the calls. The company was in such a position as to be able to pay off the arrears of the interest due on all the deben tures, but, in consequence of the refusal of the Newry and Ennislcillen Company to concur in an order, under which interest would have been paid on all the debentures, the payment of interest had, for the present, been limited to the debentures which were issued prior to 1851 ; but the directors had no doubt that the future payments would include the interest on those which had been since issued. The company hoped to reduce the rate of interest on the greater part of the outstanding debentures. The cash account showed the receipts to the 31st December to be £113,330 Bs. 10d., and the expenditure (proper) to be £111,915 17s. 9d. The CHAIRMAN then said, that the report contained matters, though apparently of trifling consideration, yet of considerable importance to the company. They had been enabled to pay off debts to the amount of about £2OO, which was subjecting them to treble the amount in legal expenses. He then alluded to the fact of claims having been set up for land which on inquiry turned out to be fallacious, and proceeded to notice an assertion which had been made that an amalgamation with that company and the Newry and Enniskillen Railway Company had taken place. Such amalgamation had not yet been effected. The directors were aware of the advantages which would arise from such a junction, but had come to no conclusion on the szbject. They, however, hoped to be able to make such arrange ments with that company as would bring the line into more effective operation. The chairman concluded by referring to the satisfactory state of the accounts of the company, and proposed the adoption of the report. Mr. C. RAWLINS seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. In answer to a question from Mr. English, the CHAIR MAN said he hoped the directors would be able to raise money at less interest than was paid at present (six per cent.), and the forfeiture of about 1200 shares now in the hands of the board would assist them. He should, how ever, be glad if shareholders would come forward and assist by advancing money in addition to their shares. The meeting was then made special for the purpose of forfeiting a number of shares, and on the motion of Mr. EDWARD BANNER, seconded by Mr. JOSEPH MAUNDER, 690 shares, in addition to a number previously forfeited, were placed at the disposal of the directors. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. THE. CORK VERDICT As the public are naturally anxious to know by what means the majority of tha coroner's jury arrived at the conclusion that Mr. Henry Bible and Sub-constable Campbell were charceable with manslaughter, the publi cation of a few of the incidents which took place in the jury -room may be instructive. Before entering into par ticulars, it is necessary again to state that the jury was composed of fifteen Roman Catholics and eight Prorestants. The moment the room was cleared of the public, one of the fifteen proposed that each juror should write on a slip of paper his opinion " wilful murder," " manslaughter," or " justifiable homicide ;" that the papers should be thrown into a hat, and afterwards assorted by the foreman, and that the majority should bind the rest of the jury. " I beg your pardon," interposed one of the eight, " we shall not slink behind the ballot—all must avow their opi nions." "We're fifteen," said the proposer, and we'llhave it if we like l" " I'll take care you shan't," said the other. It was then proposed by one of the eight that they should consider the evidence ; but this would not be permitted by the fifteen, who lustily called out " Poll, poll—we know enough about it." A poll being taken, and no legal result having been arrived at, the coroner was sent for, and the " Wilful Murder" jurors magically jumped round for " Manslaughter." It was then proposed by some of the fifteen that each juror should pledge himself not to disclose what had occurred within doors, but the eight repudiated secrecy, and one of them said, " you'll have to record your names, for you must sign the issue paper or abandon your verdict." This seemed to be a troublesome announcement, which was sought to be got over by one of the fifteen saying, " all must sign it." " I tell you," replied the one of the eight, " that I would suffer my right hand to be cut from my arm before I dipped my pen in ink to perpetrate such an act." " Oh," but rejoined the one of the fifteen, " the law will make you." " Thank God there's no such law," said the one of the eight, " and if there were I would rot in jail rather than be guitty of so much iniquity."—Cork Constitution. FACTS ABOUT MlLK.—Cream cannot rise through a great depth of milk. If milk is, therefore, desired to re tain its cream for a time, it should be put into a deep narrow dish ; and if it be desired to free it most completely of cream it should be poured into a broad flat dish, not much exceeding one inch in depth. The evolution of cream is facilitated by a rise, and retarded by a depression of temperature. In wet and cold weather the milk is less rich than in dry and warm ; and on that account more cheese is obtained in cold than in warm, though not in thundry weather. The season has its effects—the milk in the spring is supposed to be best for calves, in summer it is best suited for cheese, and in autumn the butter keeping better than that of summer. Cows less frequently milked than others give rich milk, and consequently much better. The morning's milk is richer than the evening's. The last drawn milk of each milking, at all times and seasons, is richer than the first drawn, which is the poorest. FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. The Monileur repels, in angry terms, an article of the Times, which it says has accumulated insults against France, comparing it with the Lower Greek Empire, and condemning it to eternal infamy. The .Moniteur seems to think that the Times is at the service of the Orleans family. Sixty-two councils general have presented addresses to Louis Napoleon, and of these forty explicitly demand the restoration of the empire. The President of the Republic continues suffering, and it is even said that if a marked change does not take place, his trip to the south will be postponed. As to his marriage with the Princess Wasa, it is understood that Louis Napoleon lately sent her his portrait, engraved on a heart enriched with diamonds. Five of the political prisoners at Meurthe have had their punishments commuted, by decree of the Prince President. Rumours speak of probable changes in some of the higher offices of the army. _ _ General Haynau, whose reception at Brussels was any thing but flattering, has arrived in Paris. The two conventions entered into on Sunday week between France and Belgium, were sent off by special messenger, on Wednesday, to Brussels for ratification. The Moniteur contains a decree prohibiting the posting of placards without municipal permission and prepayment of a tax. THE BURMESE WAR. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) vYV TRIESTE, FRIDAY. The steamer Adria arrived on the 27th of August at a quarter to 3 o'clock, p.m. She brings the two mails from Bombay, dated June 25 and July 24. At the latter date the Governor-General was proceeding to Rangoon to settle measures with Gene ral Godwin. The Rangoon troops continued in a healthy state. General Godwin's forces are to be largely augmented, and the advance towards Ava will take place in November. The steamer Ibraila, at 700 miles from Aden, had been Weil obliged to Mum to Bombay for want of cosh. AMERICA ARRIVAL OF THE HERMANN The Hermann steam-ship arrived off Cowes on Friday morning, at 9 45, with advices from New York to the 14th instant. An important debate took place on the 13th, in the Senate, on the fisheries question. Mr. Pratt stated that everything had been done co vindicate the honour of the country, and that the present difficulties would be honourably settled.—Commodore Perry hal arrived at St. J,ltit's, N. 8., in the Mississippi, and was received with a guard of honour. He was to proceed to Frederic ton, to have an interview with the governor.—Mr. Web ster had claimed the right of Americans to take guano at the Lobos Islands, and denies the sovereignty of Peru. A men-of-war had been sent to Lobos. CANAD A.-A great portion of the wheat crop of Canada has been harvested, and, from all accounts, the yield is considerably above an average. The quality is also said to be very good.—Le Canadien mentions that a contract has been made by the Provincial Government for the antic steam-ships, to establishment o run betwee❑ Quebec and Liverpool during the summer and between Portland and Quebec during the winter They are to run semi-monthly between Quebec and Li verpool, and once ever• month during the ef;lJ season. The government is to pay £20,000 per annum.—The city of Toronto has subscribed , W 200,000 towards the ( Northern Railroad stoc' ARRIVAL OF THE NI The Royal Mail steam-ship rived here at 12.10 on Sund !anadian - ,ara, from Boston, ar ning, having made the passage in 10 days 6 hours and 5 minutes, mean steaming She brings 30 passengers from Boston, including t...nson Hardy, bearer of despatches, and 25 passen ,rs from Halifax. She has 150,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Niagara came north about. The Franklin bad arrived at New York on the 16th instant, and the Canada on the ]Srh. The Niagara passed the steamship Asia, hence for New York, at 3.30 a.m., on the 221. The steam-ship Illinois arrived at New York on the 14th, with 51,615,437 in specie on freight, and about 5300,000 in the hands of passengers. The Northern Light arrived at the same port on the following morning, with upwards of 525,816 on freight, and about 5150,000 in the hands of passengers. The steam-ship Northerner left San Francisco cn the 15th, for Panama, with 51,759,971 on freight. Accounts had been received at New York and Boston of the loss of the clipper-ship Staffordshire, on the S.W. coast, near Talcimana, and bound from Boston to San Francisco. The debate on the fisheries question has been again adjourned. According to the New York Herald, the United States fishermen were willing to have the duties on fiss and lumber done away with, provided they are permitted to use the shoal as well as the deep sea fisheries. The mackerel fishery is said not to be worth anything three miles from the coast. " There is reason," asserts the Herald, "to believe that Great Britain will give us this freedom upon the terms indicated." The movement in favour of nominating Mr. Webster as a candidate for the Presidency was gathering strength. Mrs. General Taylor, relict of the late President, died at East Pascagoula, on the 14th instant. The New York Herald calls attention to the necessity of opening a regular steam communication with Australia and Guatamala. Destructive fires had occurred at Carlisle, Pa.., and Springfield, Mass. Late letters from Panama contradict the reported abandonment of the railways and works on account of the cholera. The Panama Herald states that no doubt now exists of there being gold in great quantities upon the isthmus. Advices had been received at New York from Paita, in a private letter of the 31st of July, stating that, when intelligence reached there containing the information that vessels had left the United States for the Islands of Lobos, for the purpose of collecting guano, and that Secretary Webster upheld and was in favour of the movement, General Vigil, the prefect of the department of Del Norte, residing in Piura, ordered the garrison at the Lobos Islands to be reinforced, and that opposition should be made to all attempts to take guano without the consent of Peru. The advices from California are to the 16th ultimo. One of the most splendid specimens of gold ever seen in San Francisco was dug at Viacita, Calaveras county, by a Mr. Durham. Its weight was somewhat over 26 lbs., and, with the exception of a few specs of quartz, which could be removed with a knife, the lump was a solid mass of pure gold. This was found sixty feet below the surface, in a drift of nearly thirty feet from the main hole. Various fatal encounters with the Indians are recorded in the California journals. The Chinese continued to arrive in San Francisco in great multitudes; 4,000 had reached the city within a fortnight. They stopped but a short time, and made their way at once to the mines. The hostility of the miners towards them appeared to be abating, as few reports were received of their expulsion. The mines con tinued to yield handsomely. The waters throughout the country were rapidly falling, and many important under takings were in progress, such as turning the beds of rivers, constructing long canals for the conveyance of water to spots known to be auriferous, but unproductive for lack of it. The reported discoveries of gold in Queen Charlotte's Island turn out to be fallacious. The news from Ecuador report some smart engagements between the forces of Flores and Urbina, both at sea and ashore, with little decisive advantage to either. From the Sandwich Islands our accounts come down to the 15th May. The long-disputed question regarding the sovereignty of those islands-had at length been settled by the recognition of the elder son of Queen Pomare as King of Raiatea, her second son as King of Huahina, and her daughter as Queen of Bolobolo A matrimonial alliance was in contemplation between the latter and the Prince Kamehatneha, of the Sandwich Islands. From Valparaiso we have advices to the 15th ult. The silver mines continued generally in a satisfactory condition. A new and very rich vein had been discovered near the Huasco copper mines. The steamer Quito arrived at Valparaiso on the 13th, with ?&200,000 in specie on freight. There was an increase in business for home consumption at. Valparaiso, but for export there had been little or nothing done. Stocks were still heavy, but there was every reason to anticipate an improved demand from all quarters, as moderate supplies only were expected. There was a good demand for Liverpool coal; the consumption was large, and there was but little stock on hand ' • the cargo per Black Prince had been sold at =525. Gold was selling at 11 per cent. above ley. 17.000 marks of silver, per Quito, had been sold at an average of ,810 lfi. per mark, being almost on a par with exchange on London. Exchange on London, 46 to 46.-, 60 days. Freight to London and Liverpool, with guano from the Chincha Islands, £2 12s. fid. per ton ; and calling for orders in the channel, and discharging at a safe port, £3 per ton. Advices from Jamaica to the 28th ultimo state that the small pox still remained on the island, though it did not appear to increase in virulence. The weather was gene• rally unsatisfactory, and in some places drought was be ginning to affect the cane-fields. Labour was growing scarcer every month, and great despondency was felt. The disposition to emigrate to Australia still remained, though it no longer spreads with the rapidity it commenced with. COMMERCIAL NEW YORK, AUGUST 17 MONEY MARKET.—There is a good demand for Foreign Exchange, and rates have improved. Nearly all of the good sixty-day sterling bills offered at 1101 have been taken, and the market is frrm at 110 a for first-class names, with 110-.1- asked by one or two leading drawers. At the latter rate, however, prime sight drafts on London can be purchased. There will, undoubtedly, be considerable shipments of specie during the remainder of the month. COTTON.—(From MP. W. P. Wright's Circular, of August 17.) —My last circular was issued on the 11th inst., since which we have Liverpool dates to Ist August, per Africa. The cotton market there had continued active, the sales were large, and a further improvement in price had taken place. This news has given a further impetus to prices here, and 1 have again to advance the quotations lc. per lb. The sales since 10th instant to last evening have amounted to 10,000 bales, the greater portion for domestic consumption and speculation, with some lots for shipment to Liverpool. The following are the current prices for— Liverpool classification : Upland. Mo. & Flo. N.O. & Tex Inferior ....... nominal. nominal. nominal. Ordinary . 9t0919t091 91 to 10 Middling.. Middling fair........ 11 to 114- nominal. 134 to 111. Fair Good fair Fine .... nominal. nominal. nominal. The southern markets, owing chiefly to the very small stock on hand, have also risen, though, of necessity, the transactions are of a very limited character. There has been received at New Orleans, up to 14th instant, fifty bales new crop. As yet we have no account of any being received at the other ports. At Albany, an interior town in Georgia, a load, probably seven or eight bales, has been received. The new cotton in New Orleans is reported " middling fair" in quality, of good staple and close fibre. As regards the new crop, the accounts generally are favourable ; up to latest telegraphic dates from New Or leans the report is flattering for a large yield. From Montgomery, Alabama, a telegraphic message, dated 16th instant, reports bad weather during the week, and boll worms numerous • letters per mail, however, from this and sections of Alabama say that rain was much needed. It is, of course, too early to speak positively, or even com paratively, as to the probable extent of the next crop. We generally, at this season of the year, receive accounts of a variety of disasters, such as too much or too little rain, worms, caterpillars, shedding of bolls, a too luxuri ant growth of the plant, &c. If the comparative ab sence of those compalints is any indication of the extent of the crop, we ought to have a good one, for we are, certainly, receiving fewer complaints this year, up to this date, than in any of the past six years. We are now, however, at the most critical period of the season, and the accounts to be received during the next four weeks will be closely watched. The excess in receipts no w amounts to 686,000 bales. The excess in exports to Great Britain is 259,000 bales ; France, 126,000 bales; other foreign ports, 84,000 bales. Total increase in exports, 469,000 bales. BREADSTUFFS.—The flour market is 61 cents per barrel dearer in all qualities than on this day week. The supplies continue moderate for the season, and the re duced rates of freight lead to some demand for shipment. PROVISIONS. — The market during the last two days has been dull. Mess pork sold at $l9 8V 2 c. to $2O ; prime, $l7 50c. ; prime mess, $l9 50 e . B ee f i s d u ll , mess may he quoted at $l7 50c. Lard, 11, 1 „e. for prime. Beef hams, =8"8 50c. for good western.
