Ebt Eiberpoci Altanifarb. TUESDAY li MORNING, NOJ 28, 1848. THE aspect of political parties is just now a somewhat singular one. The old Whig family — the Holland House clique—is confessedly in arti cub° mortis. The Premier is reported to he sick of the cares of office; sick of the incapables he has around him ; worn out alike in mind and body by the difficulties which meet him on every side ; and —sure sign of an approaching change—the Greys have set about providing for their friends. The party have literally nothing left them to fall back upon—nothing, at all events, which they can call their own, or upon w tion; for even helm , often, would spurn tr eh they can found an agita , which has helped them so rn now and henceforth. Still more pitiable is the position of the ultra liberal, or free-trade party. The Brights and Cob dens, the Kershaws and the Bowrings, have be come dumb dogs. We hear of no great gatherings at Free Trade Hall, or Covent Garden ; no blow- ing of trumpets, no their pet projects. ( wondering how it is t' been what w g over he results of _ we find them it those results have not promised; groping in the dark for excuses for their failure, and tilting at imaginary windmills in every direction. They have been awakened from their dream of self-glorification, and find themselves friendless, the scoff of the masses whom they deluded, and themselves the victims of the blow which they imagined, in their selfishness, they were inflicting solely upon others. )n the contrary Stockport has just shewn the estimation in which she holds her former idol, and his friends; and the West Riding, we feel somewhat confident, is about to throw itself into the arms of Conservatism. Another few months of the pressure and prostra tion, under which we are now suffering, and the entire nation will boil over in indignant anger against the incapable meddl over to the harmle amusement of holding peace congresses, or s aum soirees Unquestionably the intelligent portion of the public, of all classes, would bail the advent to power of a soundly constitutional and Conserva tive Government with satisfaction, if not even with delight. They perceive clearly t at the country is not safe in the hands of the present men, or of any men who hod their principles; and that their policy is more likely to be directed towards the infliction of further injury than to provide a remedy for the past. The attempted legislation of the last ses- aeon was a obstinate p erverseness , quite m. e ve throuLrhout, and evinced an eivable with the .er the truth appointe BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE. AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. On Saturday, a special meeting of the shareholders of this undertaking was held at the Town-hall, Birkenhead, "to take into consideration and determine upon an appli cation to parliament, in the ensuing session, for powers to abandon a part of the line, to enable ;he company to make a railway to form a connexion with the London and North-Western Riilway, to make alterations in the levels of the Chester branch. and of the mode of crossing Can ning -street. in Birkenhead, to extend the time for the purchase of lands, to make alterations in the tolls and rates authorized to be levied by the company, and to de crease the capital of the company, and also to consider and determine on the several subjccts referred to in the memorial transmitted to the directors by the shareholders in the company." The attendance was very numerous. Mr. Alderman Bancroft was called to the chair, and Mr. W. Jackson, iii. P., was present. The Secretary read a memorial from some of the shareholders to the directors, praying chiefly for a repeal of the Amalgamation Act. Mr. J. B. Lioyd rend the notice to perliament for various purposes (already advertised), and then the proposals, which the di rectors submitted for approval, and which were published in our last paper. The t hairman said the original memorial had arrived. The names were numercus, the parties repre senting one-tenth of the whole capital of the company. They were principally Cheshire Junction proprietors, and the capital represented nominal; but that was suffi cient for the act. The CHAIRMAN adverted to several items in the notice that had been read. He thought it desirable to omit the erection of the projected bridge at Birkenhead, to carry Canning -street across the railway. It had become obvi ous that the line could not be carried throughout in its in tegrity, that was, from Birkenhead to ChesTer, and thence to Stockport. The line, in fact, could net be carried fur ther than Moore with the money that could be raised by calls upon the present register. £450,000 would be re qui red for that purpose alone. He felt assured that not be paic upon it in all. Finding then.selves in this position, the di rectors had cast about for some scheme to get out of the difficulty, and to enable them to accomplish what they thought the importance of the united concern required ..to he done ; that was, to make the line from Chester to Moore, a distance of fifteen miles, and no further for the present. The proposal 3 the directors submitted would, he T 1 trusted, meet with the serious consideration of the share- holders. He believed the scheme was calculated to ben( fit all parties, and begged the adoption of the proposition as they stood. The resolutio❑ was to the effect, " That in the next ses, , ion, and take suc . h measures as they may deem expedient to carry out the alteration of the com pany's works proposed in the notice ; and the reduction and alteration of the capital as contained in the proposals submitted." Air. BROWN, banker, of Glasgow, said that at first he had strong objections to the directors' proposals, but, after a conference with the chairman, Le had seen their a similar opinion It was stated that the extension line to the docks had cost the sum of £300,600, which had been incurred at the unction Company ; that - shire Junction shares, nun hurl hppn conduct of men willing to enquir( Committee after committee w vital interest to the public; and in every case such questions were barked, the corn] with a party bias, or the evidence r torted to meet the views of the ult tees selected ived was dis- Need we refer to the the Committee on st feed we point to disgrace. f . t .fessions of evidence, and the withholding of returns and correspondence, by members of the Government themselves ?

Several gentlemen in the neighbourhood, hearing of the robbery, went in search of the robbers, but without success. CONSEQUENCES OF INTEMPER.AI'iCE. - -OH Thursday, a ful at the Ade - lphi t with great speak in " helper" in a livery stable, named Peter CrowleiTw j aS found dead in a horse midden, with his head in the water hole. He was occasionally employed about the stables of Mr. Stanley, coach proprietor, Roscoe-street, and on Thursday he had been sent with a fare to the steeple chase. When he returned he was in a state of intoxica tion, and went into the midden impelled by the calls of nature. A very short tie elapsed when he was brought out a corpse, THE LIVERPOOiI STANDARD. passengers it to thi as important to Indhi - as the inventions of Arkwright were to Lancashire—has been accomplished by Mr. Mather. Mr. Mather, we believe, was formerly con nected with an engineering firm at Liverpool. He was then a resident for some time in the district of Tinevelly, in the north of the Madras presidency. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—On Tuesday, William Day appeared on his last examination. The solicitor for the assignees said he had made an arrangement with Mr. Peil, a claimant on the estate, whereby Mr. Peil agreed to receive from the assignees the sum of £6OO, and forego all further claim on his debt, which was £2,600 ; and that a deed for this purpose had been prepared and executed by the assignees, but that the bankrupt refused to sign. Unless the bankrupt consented to sign the deed, he (the solicitor) should ask his Honour to commit him. It was added, that this arrangement would enable the assignees to pay the creditors fifteen shillings in the pound. His Honour, having looked over the deed, advised the bank rupt to execute it, which he then did, after which he was :o pass sis examination ACCIDENTAL DEATH IN A DOCK BASIN. — An inquest was held on Saturday before the deputy-coroner, on view of the body of John Goforth. Deceased was upwards of seventy years of age, and bad latterly been employed by his son-in-law, a young man named Wm. Stitt Jenkins, as a watchman of goods at the dock quays. On Thursday night last, deceased had to watch a quantity of American apples on the quay of the Coburg Dock, and after calling at the hut of the quay watchman, lie went out in the dark, and by some means missed his way and fell into the dock, at a time when the water was very low. His body was found_next morning on the strand near the dock. Blood flowed from the heiid, and the probability was that he had fallen from the dock-gate bridge, when the tide was out. His skull was fractured at the base. SHIPWRECK, AND SINGULAR ESCAPE.—Captain W. Hampton, of the schooner Annie, of Poole, from Leg horn, at Dublin, states, in a letter to a firm in Liverpool, tnat, on the 4th instant, about 260 rniles Clear, he fell in with a boat containing two men, the one dead and the other alive. He picked up the man who was master of the Jockey schooner, of Leith, from Galatz, foundered on the 28th ultimo, and the captain had been exposed in the open boat from that day till he was rescued, without meat or drink. The schooner, it appears, sprung a leak about 150 miles S.W. of Cape Clear. Her pumps became choked, and as she was sinking, a. Dutch brie bore down to her assistance. Three men jumped into the boat, but the vessels came into collision, and one man was killed. DREAIM—On Thursday a captain of the flat Lucie dreamed that her daughter fell overboard, and was drowned. Her anxiety was great on awaking • and the next aday she called repeatedly at the owner's office to inquire 1 where the vessel was lying. She did not come down the SINGULAR FULFILMENT 0 night the mother-in-law of river until the evening,wlren, on her arrival at the entrance of the Clarence Dock, the parents of the captain's wife went on board, and the mother, after communicating the vessel then occupied was the precise spot indicated in her dream, and endeavoured to persuade her daughter to leave the vessel. Failing in this, the parents went away, and before twenty minutes had elapsed the dream was literally fulfilled ; the unfortunate young woman, who was only twenty years of age, and hut two months married, fell backwards into the river, was carried by the force of the tide under some flats anchored ahead, and the body has not yet been found. THE WATER INQUIRY instituted an inquiry int The Water Committee have publicly male, respecting attempts on the part of certain officials connected with the water works, to allow the water to run to waste, in order to further the Rivington Pike scheme. The Sub-Committee for conducting the enquiry, met on Tuesday, in the Board-room of the late Harrington Company, in Hotham-street. Mr. Morris, chairman of the Sub-Committee, presided, and there were also present, Messrs. Nicol, (chairman of the Water Committee) ennett, and Tinne. 'k notes of the evi- was in present, but they wererequ A to withd •aiv, until the course of proceeding was decided upon. It was ultimately resolved by the committee, that until the proceedings had terminated, no report should appear. Mr. James Mac donald, on the part of the allegationists, examined two witnesses, and the proceedings were adjourned. On Saturday and yesterday, the proceedings were again re- sumed, but they are not likely to closefor a day or two. Miss EMILY GRANT'S GRAND CONCERT.—We cannot treat to be afforded by the concert of this fascinating vo calist, to be given at the Concert-hall this evening, under attention to Miss Grant's own merits . as a highly educated arttste walla ne like endeavouring to add a " pertume to the rose ;" as wherever she has been heard, whether in the metropolis or elsewhere, the leading musical journals have been so unanimous in her praise as to make her fame almost European as a sound musician, a distin- whether in public or private lii:e she has invariably com manded the respect and esteem of all. Independent of the officers, several of the most distinguished families of the town and neighbourhood are on the reserved seats, including Lord Sefton, William Brown, Esq., M.P. Charles Scarisbrick, Esq., Scarisbrick-ball, JoROI Brooke Yates, Esq., William Rathbone, Esq., the Misses Yates, &c., &c. ; and, as Miss Grant has most liberally placed the prices within the reach of all parties, she well deserves an overflowing house. Independent of the other attrac tions,. Miss Grant brings out a pupil, (a fellow towns woman, we hear,) and by general request sings her far-famed Highland Echo Song, which she has made exclusively her own, few venturing to attempt it after her. MYSTERIOUS POISONING OF SEVEN PERSONS.---One that has ever come under our notice occurred on Friday, at the Old Swan, near this town. One of the children of at a small shop in the village, and shared it with hi; Boren brothers and sisters. Shortly after having eaten it, the wen were seized with the most nrien region of t stomach, and ey 1, , which in two of the sufferers was accompanied by the appearance of spectral illusions, such as sometimes attend a highly excited state of the brain and circulation. Medical aid was immediately called in, which, for some time, appeared unavailing. Although the violence of the symptoms were • I al— T had violent vomiting of blood case, where tui the whole of th sufferers are, we understand, still in considerable danger ) clue ent cause for arming e rvant, discovered. Under present circumstances, no blame can attach to the vendor of the liquorice, as he does not manu facture it himself. It is unfortunate that none of the liquorice ; those of of others, for examina' 'emanis Some, however, purchased from the same person, is, we understand, about to be submitted to chemical analysis, ien it is to be hoped som infui and mysterious case A HARD CASE lirown on -Journal.

The poor lad's pinafore, by some means took fire, while, as he stated he was warming a bit of glue at the fire, and he was so much burned that he died soon after. On Tuesday evening a lecture was delivered in Exeter Hall, by the Rev. Dr. M`Neile,- Canon of Chester, to the members of the " Young Men's Association," on the Distinctive Features of Protestantism and Popery. The chair was filled by the Right Hon. Lord Ashley, who was supported by the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, R. C. L. Bevan, Esq., and a great body of the clergy and laity. The Great Hall was filled in every part, more than 3,000 tickets having been purchased long before the day of TILE WINTER ASSIZES.—At the assizes which com mence here on the 9th proximo, there are indictments from Liverpool, Manchester, and Ashton-under-Lyne, against a great number of persons for conspiracy, unlawful assembling, sedition, &c. The Manchester chartist in dictment, as it is called, includes no fewer than 46 indivi duals ; that from Liverpool includes 4 ; and that from Ashton-under-Lyne, 34. Independently of these trials, however, the criminal business at the approaching winter assizes is said to be heavy ; that from the borough of Manchester is quite as large as at any ordinary assizes. IRISH IMMIGRATION.—The select vestry have deter mined to adopt the most summary means for the imme diate removal back to their respective parishes, every native of Ireland whom they have reason to think are paupers. This course must inevitably entail severe suffer ing to the aged, the ailing, and to children, during the rigours of winter, but the wholesale deportation of these poor creatures by the union officers or landowners of that mismanaged country, leaves no alternative to the guar dians of the parish funds here. The number of deck the Irish steamers, last week, is fully equal to that of the previous week. COTTON CLEANING IN INDlA.—There is reason to believe that an important success has been at last achieved in the enterprise of cotton cultivation in India. A me chanical invention has been exhibited and submitted to a public trial at Calcutta, which promises to impart a high degree of efficiency to the churka or cleansing machine of the Hindoos. Thisreally great achievement—an achieve .. _ ment down. The building is in the style of the early decorated t eriod, and is erected of blue limestone, hammer-dressed and coursed, the quoins, tracery, &c., being of beautiful freestone. It is 150 feet long by 60 feet wide. The nave is 50 feet wide, and the side aisles 15 feet wide each. The roof is supported on each side of the aisle by seven pillars of beautiful polished Drogheda limestone. Although the weight which the pillars have to support is great, such is the quality of the stone that the diameter necessary is only two feet. The pillars rest on circular pedestals, and have ornamented capitals of freestone. The roof, which is of oak panelling, is fifty feet in height. The body of the church is lighted by means of eighteen windows. At the north end of the nave there is a splendid window, with stone frame-work, handsomely carved. At the top of this there is also a window in the form called St. Catherine's wheel, and the whole of the gables are finished with beautiful crosses, richly carved in stone. The chancel, at the south end,• is lighted by three large windows. The interior walls are of dressed freestone, and at the east side there are fourteen small apartments or vestries, to be used as confessionals. At the north-west corner there will be a gallery for the choir, and an organ will be fitted up. The chapel is calculated to hold from 1500 to 1800 persons. At the north-west corner stands an immense square tower, eighty feet in height. The top is finished with open tracery or battlements, and here the spring of the spire commences. The spire will also be eighty feet in height, but its erection will be delayed for some time. The principal front is in Salisbury -street. LOCAL MEETINGS, THE WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—The weekly meeting was held on Wednesday, Mr. Roskell in the chair. The following communications were read from the Poor-law Board :—A letter in reference to the defalcations of Mr. Peter Arrowsnith. assistant-overseer of Great Crosby. It appeared that Mr. Arrowsmith had written to the Poor law Board, stating his wish to retain office, in order that he may liquidate the amount he owes to the overseers. A letter sanctioning the appointment of the Rev. T. Dwyer to the office of chaplain to the Fever Hospital ; a letter referring to the appointment of Mr. H. Fitzpatrick, as medical officer of the rural district of the township of West Derby, in the room of Mr. Christie, but requesting to know the cause of Mr. Christie's resignation; a letter approving of the discontinuance of the allowance made to the medical officers of districts Nos. 1 and 2 in Toxteth park. An order was received for the election of a guardian for Toxteth-park, in the place of Mr. Sheppard, resigned. On the motion of Mr. Lloyd, Messrs. Leighton,Tomkins, and Potts were appointed relieving officers for the three districts of Toxteth-park. A sub-committee was ap pointed for carrying out the provisions of the Nuisances Removal Act. DOCK COMMITTEE.—The use of two plots of land on the west side of the Brunswick Dock was granted to Messrs. Sharpies, Jones, and Co., and Illessr. Duncan and Ewing, at the rate of ls. 6d. per square yard, and to be given up at any time after the Ist. of July, at a month's notice. Mr. Tobin : Do those parties pay rates on their ground—it is a subject which the public at large are anxious to get the fullest information upon ? Mr. Bold said the tenants paid the poor rates. The Chair man r Our dock and harbour masters pay the local rates on their lands, andthe tenants of the Dock Estate generally pay. Mr. Tobin : I think that is perfectly right.—lt was agreed that the Waterloo, Victoria, and Coburg Docks should be run dry at the next spring tides, to make cer tain repairs which were necessary.—A letter was read from Mr. M'Gowan, of Newton, county of Armagh, Ireland, requesting the committee to ezamine a scheme of his, which was invaluable for saving vessels when stranded. The letter concluded with a request, that should the committee honour his plan with their approval, they would obtain for him a patent in perpetuity. The latter part of the document caused much laughter, and after a short conversation it was, as we understood, re ferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. On Tuesday last, at the Liverpool Police--court, no fewer than 25 shipmasters were fined ss. each for leaving their vessels without any shipkeepers. _ An old man, a discharged Soldier. named Thomas Mur ney, was committed for trial, on Tuesday, at the Liver pool Police-court, for harbouring and concealing a deserter from the 4th regiment. William Blain ) a lad only thirteen years of age,. em ployed in the office of Messrs. Shorthouse and Madden, estate-agents, was committed, on Wednesday last, to•take his trial at the sessions, for embezzling the moneys-of his employers. LOITERING WITH OMNIBUSES.—An omnibus driver, named John Parry, was fined ss. and costs, on Tuesday, for loitering with his omnibus at the Trafalgar Dock... He said, in defence, that be was employed by Mr. Radley, of the Adelphi Hotel, to bring Lord Ashley and his family, who were expected by one of the steam-boats, which ap peared to be the fact but the offence lay in placing his vehicle in a place to annoy the public. Joseph Wade was also fined the same amount for allowing his omnibus- to loiter in Burlington-street. THE SMOKE INFonmATIoNs.—On Wednesday the in formation against Mr. Hardman Earle, for not consuming the smoke from his chimney in Oil-street, was again heard. It had been postponed from the 11th of October, in order to allow time for making some experiments with the furnaces. Mr. Grantham had, on the former occa sion, given it as his opinion that the smoke had arisen from bad firing or negligence ; but the result of the expe riments showed it to originate in the smoke-burner being out of order. Mr. Rushton, on this ground, refused to convict. Mr. Grantham said smoke-burners should. be examined once a week ;, and it was understood that their being out of order was in future to form no excuse. A FORTUNE TELLER IN TROUBLE.—Wm. Wallace, a mute, was placed at the bar, on the charge of defrauding people by fortune-telling. Martha Lee said, " The pri soner has taken away both my character and my mother's." —Mr. Rushton :—" Taken away your character I What do you mean—by telling fortunes ?"—Witness : " Aper son lost a pair of sheets, and he says that I took them, and gave them to my mother to pawn, and afterwards burnt the ticket. She has no other evidence o it but this, and she gave him three shillings to tell it to her." — Mr. Rushton :—" Well, but that woman is not here. It makes one quite ashamed that decent English people, with clothes on their backs and heads on their shoulders, should give a fellow like this three shillings for telling fortunes. Discharge him." THREE POLICE OFFICERS SUSPENDED.—On Wednes day Daniel Myers, a ropemaker, complained of the con duct of officers numbered 605, 631, and 634. Complainant stated that on Tuesday morning last, as he was passing along Prince's Park-road, to his work, the three officers were on the other side. One of them threw a stone at him, and upon his remonstrating, two crossed to him, used opprobrious epithets, and assaulted him several times. Complainant said officer 605 was the man who struck him, but the other officers said 605 never crossed the road. The officers also denied throwing the stone or assaulting the man, who, they said, challenged them to go into the field to fight. Mr. Rushton said there had been very improper conduct on the part of the officers, and suspended them. —A respectable-looking young man, THE LIVERPOOL CURRENCY REFORM ASSO CIATION AND THE " ECONOMIST." On the 10th vii. the Liverpool Cutrency Reform Asso ciation addressed the following letter to the Economist : " (To the Editor of The Economiot " Sir,—ln your last number, of the 7th instant, there appeared an article on Foreign Exchanges, in which you repeat your statement of the 7th ii•'lay, that under a system of barter, the effect on prices, in the event of a bad har vest, would be the same as under our present sys tem of currency. In your reasoning to substantiate this doctrine it appears to us that you have committed the error of regarding gold as a mere commodity, overlooking the fact that the law has given to this metal the privilege of measuring the value of other articles. Thus gold has a double function to perform, that of a commodity, and that of money ; and as you make no allowance for the'effect whic:i an export of gold produces in consequence of its possessing the latter and more important function, it ap pears to us that the whole of your argument falls to the ground. At all events we find it very difficult to conceive that an equal value exported in the shape of iron, coals, or calicoes, or even railway and government securities, in payment of corn, would produce the same disorganising effects as result from a large export of gold, nor can we conceive that if it were reduced to a mere commodity like iron, the export of gold itself would cause the same dis turbing effects in the prices of other articles, which it now produces in consequence of its possessing its money function.' To this the Economist replied as follows, on the 4th in stant, and not before " A little consideration will show that our correspon dents are confounding two entirely distinct and separate things. The fact that gold is fixed upon as the standard of value in this country, and silver in France, do not in any way alter the character of these articles as ordinary commodities ; nor does it interfere in any way with their fluctuations of intrinsic value, which is still regulated alone by supply and demand, the same as wheat or iron. The precious metal adopted as the standard mry rise or fall in value like all other commodities, the only difference being that the changes in its value are not expressed in the rela tion it bears to any other article, but by the relation which other articles bear to it. If gold were to become very scarce, and of more intrinsic value, that change would not be expressed by saying that 1 oz. of gold is now worth more wheat, but that a quarter of wheat is worth less gold (or moncy.) But the main reason why gold has been fixed upon as the standard is, that it is subject to those changes of intrinsic value less than any other article; and, therefore, it is the best standard, though not a peril:et and unalterable one. All other commodities are measures of each other at any one moment; but from their nature they are so rapidly changing in their intrinsic value, by variations in their supply and demand, that they would be wholly unfit to be adopted as•a standard whereby value should be measured at different times. " Gold is never exported but as a commodity, nor until it becomes more profitable to export than any other_coun7 rnodity ,t is not correct to say that t [.e export of gold is the cause of the disorganisation which arises frol a bad harvest. It is, in fact, the means by which the evil is most easily met, and greater disorganisation prevented. Nor is it correct to say that in exporting gold the quan tity of money is lessened in the country. The gold ex ported is always taken from the reserves of the bank, or from the stocks of the Cambist, and not from the circu lation, which, in fact, generally is larger during a drain ces are not sufficient to meet the demand, it is met by a greater reduction in the prices of otter commodities to balance our foreign payments for grain. Still gold is never exported except when it is more profitable than anythi ng . _ else. If, instad of gold, or if at the commencement of a large import of grain we had no stock of gold, and there fore those imports had to be paid by other commodities — say iron, coal, or calicoes—what would be the reduction of prices to which we should have to submit in order to obtain the necessary quantity of corn ? It would certainly be much greater and much more sudden, than it is now by the use of gold. It must always be borne in mind that in those cases we have a large payment to make to foreign countries over and above their wants of our or dinary commodities of export. Under those circum stances, what extent of reduction in price. would induce the shippers of wheat in Hamburg to buy iron, coals, or calicoes-to such an additional extent at the time as would pay for such imports of corn as we received in 1847 ? " But what our correspondents are confounding with the simple functions of go . ld as a commodity in the con- sequences of its exportation, is he effect which it pro- duces, owing to the existing extensive system of credits. on which the business of the country is carried on. As gold is exported, though there may be no less currency or money in this country, yet the available loanable capital beconies less, and can:o'nly be obtained by _the papa' exit of a higher rate of interest. A great certainty prevails as to whether it can be ob of un- necessary quantity toixieet current engagements, and fact induces all who have it to keep itin - larger quantities than usual to meet their own exigencies and contingen cies. But if in a state of barter a system of credits ex isted, that is, if extensive loans of commodities were. constantly made, to be redeemable on a given day, with so much more fur their use, what would take place if a deficient harvest caused a sudden exportation of those commodities, o❑ the usual supply of which all the com munity were relying for the payment of extensive en gagements, and without renewed loans of which they would be unable to carry on their business ? The truth is, that the derangern-ent consequent on the export of gold is caused chiefly by the huge current liabilities rising out of an extensive credit system, which are not ness of the country. It is to this cause, that is. the great extent to which the system of credits exists in this coun- try and the United States, that large exportations of bul lion lead to so much snore disorganisation tharf it has usually done on the continent under similar circumstances. In England anti France the precious metals are equally adopted as the standard of value, E the same principl of currency exactly is followed ; but in France, as coin pared with England,.the credit system exists to a much smaller extent, and while the trade of the country has made much less progress, yet, apart from political causes, it has never beeii exposed to the same severe derange ment as has peen the case in England. The foll sing excellent reply was then immediately " (To In reply Editor of The Economist.) " SIAM to our communication dated the 10th ultimo, you say in your last number : " As gold is exported , though there may be no lesscurrency or money in the country, yet the available loanable capital be comes less, and can only be obtained by the payment of a higher rate of interest.

EXTRAORDINARY ARRIVAL OF VESSELS AT LIVERPOOL DURING THE LAST WEEK. SYMPTOMS OF IMPROVEMENT IN COM MERCE. We are indebted to the Liverpool Telegraph and Ship ping Gazette for some statistics, which will be interesting to our commercial readers, as showing a great increase of imports during the past week, indicating a revival of qv.. culation in the commercial world, if not an advent of more prosperous times than we have for many months enjoyed' To say the least, there appears to be an abundant soppll In foreign lands of the principal staples of consumption in this country, whether for manufacture, or for food ' • and notwithstanding our monetary depressio n , th e h o lder' appear to be contented to send us large portions of their stock in the hope of an adequate reversion, or something' approaching towards it. It is next to impossible to state precisely the number of arrivals of vessels daily in our extensive port, for soma obtain entrance into our docks on the same tide that brought them up channel, and others anchor in the rive' at various points, and may so remain for some days, before they can dock. There may therefo re b e a f ew misse d, an a few reported twice by mistake. This, however, makes up about a balance; and we may submit the following bs'' as being nearly correct, of ocean-going vessels from di , ' tont foreign ports, of large tonnage : Monday (yesterday week), reported arrivals Tuesday.. Wednesday Thursday . iday . Saturday . Sunday W and Monday (inclusive) Total 181 We find that these vessels, chiefly from the United State* South America, the West India Islands, the East Indies? the Brazils. China, &c., average, (taking about 25 of theta' at random) about 580 tons, and they appear to have heel' fully laden with produce. These are irrespective of smaller vessels from the Mediterranean, and European ports, as well as of all coasters, sailing or steam, of which we hav e a constant accession day and night. The arrivals five foreign ports have been in fact from, it may be said, au parts of the world, and some of the cai goes-of great value. The chief weight of the imports have been, Ist, Flour, Indian Corn, Corn Meal, and a large quantity of Wheat; 2nd. Cotton; 3rd, Sugar; 4th, Tallow; sth, American Cheese and Hams, and a large quantity of American Apples. The "Andrew Foster" brought 3,629 boxes of American cheese; and the " Constitution" 2,926 boxes. The total amount of breadstuffs imported kito Liver pool on Friday and Saturday comprises, —Wheat, 12,223 qrs. ; Barley, 42 qrs. ;. Oats, 2,214 qrs. ; Beatip;-5 qrs.; Pease, 745 qrs. ; Indian Corn, 21.740 qrs.; Indian Corn Meal, 2,325 brls.; Oatmeal, 1,570 loads; Flour, 1,184 sacks, 55,721 brls. The steam ship Europa alone brought 1,318 barrels and 30 half-barrels of American apple The arrivals for the fortnight previous c last "week (noticed) were not very great, owing principally tb• die prevalence of easterly winds,. which retarded some of the vessels in the chops of the channel. We rejoice to add, that the cotton market last wee k ~ underwent a revival to something lik e o ld en ti mes , thou gh not in prices. The demand was such that the daily sale., amounted to about 8,000 bags, a n d th e s pi nners t oo k 011 ` during the week about 40,000 bags.

An explosion of fire damp took place on Wednesdar Last, at Strangeways collierY, Hindley, by which four men are said to have been killed, and others seriously injured. MANCHESTER PROTESTANT OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION• —The annual meeting of this important institution is an nounced to take place in the Town Hall on the 7th of next month. Dr. Cumming of London is to be present. On Monday week the stage coach running between Ulverston and Lancaster, became fixed. in the sands ; the horses were loosed, the passengers carried out, and the coach left to be floated out next tide by means of some empty puncheons fastened to it. On Friday, Edward John Gerrard, the infant.son of Mr. Gerrard, grocer, Hindley, was drowned in a m ug of buttermilk. The child was only about a year and a-hal old, and had been left for a short time playing in the shop. He was found with his head dowzr at the bottore of the mug, and his legs sticking up. A BRASV.—On Sunday week, a man named Dutton , at Stockport, died from excessive drinking. It a ppeared that on Saturday night, he had undertaken to drink e dozen gills of ale in ten minutes, but after swallowing the eighth, he became so stupified as to be unable to cow' plate the wager, and was taken home. He resided alone in the house, and the next morning he was found a corpse. FIRE AND Loss of LIFE.—On Monday night, the house of James Crowther, in Irwell-street, Bacup, Was discovered to be on fire. The premises were speedily consumed, and James Crowther, and his wife, MarY Crowther, the inmates of the house, were burnt to death, their bodies being shockingly disfigured. The fire was caused by the ignition of some naptha which was kept in the upper part of the house. _ JOILI3 -- IN C; The prevailing, subject in the appointment of a batch. of political 'jell has just been granted by. the Lord lr.

The lecture was illustrated by views, maps, &c., produced by the magic lan tern, which were particularly striking and beautiful. What renders the lectures doubly interesting, is the fact that the lecturer has visited the various places he describes in this hitherto but partially explored portion of the globe. The next lecture on Thursday evening will be of a highly interesting character, being a description of the city of Jerusalem.
