Riberpoot -4)tanbarb. OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING FROM THE PARLIAMENTARY CAMPAIGN, from which so much is anticipated, has opened in due form. The two armies which, in all probability, will so soon engage in fierce hostility, are in presence of each other. The de bateable ground is fairly divided between the two forces ; and the spectators—all England and the world—stand in pause, awaiting to know what subject of quarrel will be chosen, when the grand pitched battle will be fought, and will be the issue of the combat. As yet there has been nothing to see, on the bloodless plains of Westmin ster, beyond a sort of review or airing of the troops, and an exchange or two of courtesies, such as befitted an array of Christian opponents,—for, despite of one Jew, and I should fear to say how many Heathens within its walls, ours still remains a Christian legislature. The men look well, however,—fresh-visaged, plump, and all the better for their vacation rambles. The leaders, too,—at least such of them as have emerged from their tents,—wear a bold outward bearing, though, when you scan them closely, marks of anxiety and responsibility for their conduct in the coming struggle are plain enough. DISRAELI looks pale, the effect of deep thought and unremitting attention to his important functions ; but his eyes are brilliant with genius, and he has resolution of purpose, and unwavering confidence in his high destiny stamped upon his brow. Lord JOHN Rus situ. seems as jaunty as you please, braced by the north ern breezes, and almost ruddy with exposure to sun and wind ; but, despite his swaggering port, and self-satisfied conceitedness, he betrays a fidgitiness of manner, and an uncertainty of soul, which show unmistakably enough that he feels the position he occupies is a dangerous one, and that the soldiers he pretends to lead are faithless merce naries, not to be relied on in the hour of greatest need. IluarE reappears hardy and brazen-faced as ever—the veteran BLUCHER of debate—ready to be beaten over and over again, and yet to be up to the scratch next day, as if he had never been drubbed. Opposite to him, Colonel SIBTHORPE walks forth brave as a lion, and only too impatient to hear the exciting word of command, " Up, Guards, and at them." Other chiefs and would be chiefs await a further development of the parliamen tary strategy ere they condescend to come forth from their places of concealment. Sir JAMES, of Netherby, who was wont to be the first in the field, and the last to leave it, has not yet displayed his lofty person. PAL- M EaSTON, of the ever-verdant aspect, has not gladdened the hearts of his followers with " his pleasant pre sence." COBDEN has not exhibited his cadaverous visage. BRIGHT has not sported his impudent phiz. But all will come forth in time, and by next Thursday the harmless review of the I charged into a first day of the new Parliament may be 6 serious and a general battle. It has of een studiously propagated that no combined party be attempted on the first meeting of the e. or indeed on this side of Christmas ; but this to put the Government and their friends off their guard : and I should not he astonished to find, despite ell the hypocritical pretexts about giving a fair be a rus 1 notwi (ding the deceptive civilities passed Jord JOHN RUSSELL to Mr. DISRAELI on Thursday a cants belli got up on the Address, and an attempt made to snatch a victory by means of a surprise. They be ab!e to s teal a march upon so vigilant a will har r as DISRAELI ; but to him and to all his merrymen I say, emphatically, put your trust in no pledges or pro- fessions given by " gentlemen opposite ;" stand to your guns, and be ready for action at all times and upon all we in the capital are taking breath 'ere cona- while the grand armies content themselves with surveying each other's points of attack and defence, while the preliminaries are being settled, and es of honourable arfare are being agreed upon, nd squadrons posted throughout the provi ces skirmish and make a tremendous noise. From Manchester and Edinburgh reports come loud and long—so loud that they completely bother the bearers, and so long that nobody can get to the end of them. the little detaci News of battle ! News of battle ! Hark ! 'tis rattling down the streets,' Shouts of COBDEN, BRIGHT, MACAULAY to the rescue, come borne upon the wings of the wind, mingled with the awful pop of ginger-beer bottles, and the formidable vociferations of Edinburgh fish-wives. Weaskoneanother in town here, what doeS au Lnis unnier mean r vv naLenu appose they will gain by making the welkin ring with their ear-splitting declamation ? Pro bably they have taken a lesson out of the Chinese book, and think that they can frighten ministers into submission to Manchester domination, by making horrible grimaces and shocking noises, as the Celestials thought they could frighten the barbarian English by exhibiting painted mon sters, and simulated fires. Whatever may have been the hopes of the levellers of Manchester, or the Whig philo sopher and romancist of Edinburgh, they have been miserably disappointed. The demonstrations about which so much has been said, and from which such important results were anticipated, have ended as they begun, simply in smoke. The " amalgamation scheme" between the cotton- spinning democrats and the place-preserving aristo crats of the snug family party is as far as ever from being accomplished, and the " combined opposition in Parlia ment" is just where it was a month ago—nowhere. Another great Jew question has been brought unex pectedly on the tapis, which is likely to cause extraordinary excitement in Hounsditch and Holywell-street. This time it is not whether a ROTHSCHILD or a SALOMANS should be permitted to have a seat in Parliament, but whether the Speaker and the House of Commons generally should patronise " do,' old do,' " to the utter disregard of new garments and clean shirts. That famed constitu tional authority, JOE HOME, has propounded that, according to the provisions of Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights, members of the House of Commons should enjoy the fine Anglo-Saxon privilege of paying their cere monial visits to " the First Commoner in England," in dirty boots, greasy inexpressibles, and threadbare wrap rascals,—or in purls naturalibus, after the manner of our ancestors, if so disposed. Strange it is, that one who is a Reformer in all things else should propose sticking to "old habits," in the way of costume. No doubt it would be " mighty convanient" for a certain squad of Radicals and Romish ragamuffins to figure at Mr. SPEAKER'S levees, without the necessity of borrowing a suit of decent clothes, or going through the usual process of ablution ; but it would also be exceedingly trying to the right hon. gentleman's olfactory nerves, and would be decidedly detrimental to the important " old clo' " interests. At all events, the raising of this question has put Monmouth street in commotion, and MOSES and Sow are about to agitate the country from one end to the other. They have already a " new bill" in preparation on the subject. Every ninth-part of a man in the metropolis is in arms against HOME and his shabby proposal ; and I don't think that either he or any of his supporters would at this do the brawlers s moment obtain a garment or tie from any patriotic snip in the QUEEN'S dominions The literary world has been amused by a very pretty iusrrel between a pair of authors of the gentler sex, in which the cuts and thrusts have been equally divided, and ich much science in attack and defence has been 1. The two Honourable Mrs. NORTONS have been at it, point to point and hilt to hilt, with all the grave and high-bred skill to be expected from such combatants, and the interesting duello is far from being concluded. In fact, thP ace only as yet made a few passes at each other, but these have been made with hearty good will, and with remarkable adroitness. What's in a name ? is a trite question. By our lady ! there is much in a name, as this honourable combat a mort attests. The origin of this fair dispute is as poetically simple as that between AGA- Emvolsr and ACHILLES. The Hon. Mrs. BLAND ERS- NORTON writes a book of " Gossip," which she advertises. Her publi s h ers , by wa y o f ca t c h.p enn y, i n some of their puffs-preliminary suppress the " BLAND ERSKINE," and announce the book as the work of " the Hon. Mrs. NORTON." This naturally riles the real SIMON PURE—the lady known to fame under that name —the genuine Hon. Mrs. CAROLINE NORTON, poet and novellist of celebrity. She incontinently takes down her " BURKE'S Peerage," and finding therein that the only lady who had the right to call herself the Hon. Mrs. BLAND ERSKINE NORTON was recorded as defunct seventeen years ago, she dashes off an epistle to the news apers charging Mrs. B. E. NORTON with being eith er a lost or an imposter, and warning the public against the kof " Gossip" as being a regular swindle. Upon this Hon. Mrs. B. E. NORTON consults her glass, and pinched herself, and resorted to other means of self that she is not defunct, she forthwith ing he beds to give tangible proof that she not only lives but -seeding vigour of body and mind, by inditing a and writ in a bold Roman hand. She «•es in ex full of spi convicts BLRKE of womanstaughter, and the Mrs. Noa- TON Of indiscretion ; and challenges all the authors and authoresses in the world to prove that she is not alive, and jolly, and herself in propria persona. So the quarrel stands ; but it cannot rest here, for where the flint of a THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1852. SHERIDAN and the steel of an ERSKINE are engaged, the sparks emitted must necessarily be many and brilliant. From the encounter of two such women's wits and tongues we may expect a rare treat—keen, polished, and deadly. THACKERAY'S long expected " Esmond " has made its appearance in the conceited typo and style of Queen ANNE. Novel readers in general, and THACKERAY'S admirers in particular, looked forward to its coming as a rare event. It has come, and they are all disappointed. If the book were written by any less noted person, it would be passed over as an ordinary production ; as it is, it may be praised and puffed by the newspapers, but it will never be popular, nor does it deserve to be so. It is a poor, diluted re-production of " Vanity Fair " upon an antiquated stage, and lacks vitality and originality. Like " Single-speech HAMILTON," the author I fear will go down to posterity as Vanity Fair THACKERAY--him of the single readable romance. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. Commercial affairs generally maintain their im proving tone ; and Money is abundant. There is a slight decrease in the stock of Bullion, attended by a considerable increase in the circulation of Notes ; and the only fear which seems to be entertained in Commercial circles is, as to the probable effect, in turning the Exchanges against us, of the recent large investments in foreign Stocks, Mines, Rail ways, &c.

Mark Marks, who keeps a bullion-office in Castle street, and Wm. Fairburn, representine himself as a pas senger agent, were charged by Richard Garner, with con spiring to defraud him of a sum of £9l. The circumstances of the case were briefly detailed by Mr. Dodd, solicitor, who appeared for the prosecution, as follows :—The pro secutor, Garner, came up to Liverpool on Wednesday morning last, from Leicestershire, with his female servant, , for the purpose of emigrating to America, and was accom panied by his son. John Garner. They arrived in Liver pool early in the morning, and went to the house of Fairburn, the second prisoner, who represented himself as an emigration agent. In the course of arranging for a passage, Fairburn found that Garner, senior, had a con siderable sum of money in his possession, and advised him to go to Mr. Marks, to have the money changed into a draft. Witness's son went with Fairburn to Marks's, taking with him £l5O in notes and gold ; but, on account of Garner, senior, having more money on his person, they went hack in a car to Fairburn's, where Marks received more money, and gave a draft for 81170. Sub sequently, Garner requiring some ready cash, £35 was returned by Marks, who gave a fresh draft for 81050. Prosecutor, on communicating the transaction to some parties on board, discovered that he had been defrauded of £9l odd. In consequence he returned ashore and pro ceeded home ; and on returning with his son on Friday last, the prisoners were given into custody. John Garner was the first witness called, and he stated that he was the son of Richard Garner, of Burbage, Leicestershire, farmer. On Wednesday morning last he arrived in Liverpool with his father, and went to Fairburn's house in Galton-street. After having some tea, his father and Fairburn entered into conversation about America, and Fairburn recommended him to get his money changed into a draft, as people often became sea-sick on board, and did not know what they were doing. Before going to sleep Fairburn said he was agent to a ship which was going out on that day. After having had a little rest, he went out with Fairburn, at his recommendation, to buy some additional provisions. On returning to the house, Fairburn said they must be quick, as the vessel would sail soonerthan he had expected. They then went down to Marks, the father giving witness three bags containing 75 sovereigns in gold, and another bag with £75 in Bank of England notes. Fairburn said they must be as quick as possible in getting this money changed into a draft. Had previously taken two places for the second cabin, in the ship Constitution. Paid £lO to Fairburn for the places and got a ticket. After getting the bags they ran and walked as sharply as they could to Marks's. Fairburn said they must be quick lest the vessel should sail. Saw Marks, who came in a minute after they got there, at about nine o'clock in the morning. Carried the money himself to Marks' shop. Fairburn seemed to know Marks, and said to him "we want a draft drawn directly." Witness put the whole of the money on the table, retaining the £lO he had paid at the shipping-office. The rest of the money Marks took, and counting the gold said there were £65 in sovereigns. Afterwards rave in the £75 in notes, which were also counted. Had told Fairburn on the way down to Marks's shop that his father had more money on his person. Fairburn, after the money was counted in Marks's shop, said they must be as quick as they could, and get the whole into the draft; and the three took a cab and went to Fairburn's house as quick as they could. On arriving his father had five Bank of England notes in his hand, out of which Marks took them. Witness never had them in his own hands, and did not know their amount. Marks after this began to write a draft, Fairburn hurrying him, and Marks saying " Don't hurry me ; I should like to do it right." The draft was given to witness, who identified it. After receiving it he gave it to his father. We then hurried down to the ship as fast as we could, Fairburn, my father and I. The ship was then in the river at anchor. When we got there we got the luggage up as fast as we could. His father examined the berths, and said he would not go in such a place as that, but would go in the first cabin, let theprice be what it would. At last they agreed to pay £36 for the first cabin. Wit ness's father then paid £l2 10s. more, and he paid £l5 more. The additional £8 10s. Fairburn said he would pay, and witness might give it him when he came on shore. Fairburn said the £lO paid in the first instance must be lost. Witness and Fairburn then came on shore, his father giving witness the draft to he altered, as they were then short of money. Went to Marks's, who was not in at first : when he came in witness told him he wished to have the draft altered, as he wanted I £25 because his father would go in the first cabin. Marks then gave him a £2O bank note and fifteen sove reigns. Marks also gave him the altered draft, and they hurried down to the boat. On their way in the boat to the ship Fairburn urged witness to give him the draft, saying that they would not then allow any one but himself to go on board the ship. Witness refused to give it up, and got on board the ship without opposition from any one on board. His father was dissatisfied about the £lO, and complained to Fairburn. On returning ashore, went to see if they could get the £lO back, having received a note from a son of one of the owners of the ship, (Mr. Morrell,) who was on board, to a Mr. Shaw. Called at his office, but did not see him, but saw a clerk, who told him that he might come again at six o'clock at night, but that he was afraid the money would be lost. He did not call again, as Fairburn said it was of no use, and hurried him off home the same day. Saw his father next night at Nuneaton, near home. In consequence of what passed returned with him to Liverpool on Friday. They gave information to the police. Cross-examined by Mr. Aspinall.—His father is a married t.—. 1....0z where sae is. The servant woman, who was going to America with him, had lived with him for many years as dairy girl, and was going with him, with the consent of his brothers and sisters. Did not tell Mr. Fairburn that his father had left his wife at home drunk. When he went to take a passage said it was for his father and Betsey. He had given small sums to some of his children, and left £lO on the table of the house. Had not signed over his property to any one he knew of. The witness was afterwards cross-examined by Mr. Snowball, with a view to shake his credit, and to show that the prosecutor was running away to defraud his cre ditors. Nothing very material was elicited. Re-examined by Mr. Donn.—His father had sufficient property to pay all that he might owe. His leaving for America was well known all over the neighbourhood. Richard Garner.—Was a farmer in Leicestershire, but is now out of business. Witness detailed the circum stances of his arrival in Liverpool and introduction to the prisoners, bearing out his son's previous statement. Upon the subject of the money which he gave to Marks at his house. he said there were five notes—one of £lOO, another of £5O, two of £2O, and one £lO, in all £2OO. When Marks had got the money, he, Fairburn, and his son, went away directly to the pier -head, and came back to say that the vessel was about to sail. He immediately went on board. The witness spoke as to the cirum stances of changing the amount of the draft. When he got the second draft he was not satisfied with it, and thought it was £lOO short. The Captain and others ad vised him to come on shore, and the former came with him and directed him to go home for his son. They re turned on Friday, and gave information on Saturday to the police. Cross-examined by Mr. ASPINALL.—Got the £2OO out of the young woman's bosom. Told Captain Britton that he had given Marks £2OO. Counted the money when he gave it to Mr. Marks ; but had scarcely time to get an answer, he was in such a hurry. Took the young woman back with him when he went back to Leicester shire. His wife was quite agreeable for him to go away with the young woman. The money was sewn up in her bosom about a week ago. His wife had quite confidence enough in her servant to allow her to go with him ; and he thought Mr. Aspinall must be a very bad man to sup pose that a man could not go from home with his ser vant without lying with her. Had got the money from a bank, and had kept it in his pocket-book, separate from his other money. Was not drunk the day before he came to Liverpool. Would not answer the question whether he went to bed with the girl at Fairburn's. Re-examined.—Can swear that the notes which he gave to Marks were the five notes which he entrusted to the young woman, and were of £2OO value. Henry Murphy, a detective officer, went on Saturday afternoon with Inspector Kehoe in search of the prisoners ; found Fairburn in Ford's public-house, Back Castle street. Kehoe asked him if he had received any com mission for those two farmer looking men he had brought to get money changed at Marks's. Fairburn said he had not got any yet, but be expected some. Kehoe then left, and witness took Fairburn to the police-office. On the way he said " what is the matter ?" He answered that the two men had been at the office, and complained that they had been cheated out of their money. Prisoner said, " then why don't you find Marks. He gave them a draft on Barned's hank. I was only acting on commission, and this would only amount to about 24 per cent." Wit ness left him at the office, and went in search of Marks, whom lie found at his shop in Oldhall-street, a little after six o'clock. Told him Mr. Clough wished to see him. On the way he asked what he wanted, and I told him it was about some money he had been changing for two farmers that Mr. Fairburn had brought him, by giving them a draft on a house at New York. He said that Mr. Fairburn had brought them, and that he had given them a draft. Witness said they were afraid it was not a genuine one ; asked if he had paid Fairburn any com mission, to which he replied no, and stated that he was not going to pay him any, but subsequently said he would consider whether witness was to take that as an answer. Took him to the police-office. When the case was being investigated before Mr. Clough, he said there was an error in the calculation of the money. On being asked how much he gave no answer, but subsequently stated that it was £45 wrong. He took him to Bride well, and on searching him found the first bill for 1170 dollars. He had previously stated that he had burnt it. Examined by Mr. Dodd.—Prisoner Marks never told him what money he had received from the prosecutor. Cross-examined.—Thought it was part of his duty to examine prisoners whom he apprehended. Mr. James Milner, clerk with Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co.: Had they been asked on the 4th of November last to give a draft for £305 it would have been for 1.51477 55c. The difference in sterling between this amount and the bill of 1025 dollars was £B4 14s. 7d. Kehoe, detective officer, deposed to accompanying Murphy, and being present when Fairburn was found in Back Castle-street. His evidence in no way varied from that of Murphy. Was present in the office when it was stated that the money paid to Marks was £340. Marks said he did not deny the amount, but £35 had been after wards obtained hack. Marks stated to Mr. Clough that he had destroyed the first draft This witness's evidence closed the case. Cross examined by Mr. Snowball.—Did not hear Marks say that there was one item of £5O wrong. He admitted the money to be £340, less the £35 paid back. Marks asked the witnesses Garner a few questions as to the money, by Mr. Clough's permission; and the replies that he got from both father and son were, that he got 65 sous., £75 in notes, £lOO note, £5O note, two £2O notes, and one £lO. Heard him say something to Fairburn about the £2OO. Mr. Clough was called, and detailed the conversation as given by Kehoe, adding that Marks said there was an error in the addition, but whether he referred to the sums he had taken down, or to some other addition, he did not know ; nothing was said about a £5O note. Fir, ASFINALL addressed the bench in faycur of ;:h9 prisoner Fairburn, against whom he contende,l that there was not a particle of evidence. He had done no more than his legitimate business as a passenger agent ; and as to his recommending the prosecutors to take their money in the shape of a draft, it was good advice. 1t had not been proved that he was aware of the amount of money paid, or of the value of the drafts received. Mr. SNOWBALE addressed the bench in defence of Marks, and argued at considerable length that no conspi racy had been proved, or was possible, from the manner in which the whole matter had occurred. . • Mr. MANSFIELD thought there was evidence sufficient to send the case to a jury. Ha would, however, accept bail. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-YESTERDAY. IN RE AVERY AND STREET.—These bankrupts, who formerly carried on business at Birkenhead, came before Mr. Commissioner Perry for their certificate. They were supported by Mr. Woodburn, and opposed by Mr. Evans, on behalf of a creditor named Stevens, and by Mr. Hull, on behalf of Messrs. Crowe and Williams, builders and timber merchants, of Birkenhead. The principal g round of objection to them was, that they had contracted debts, knowing at the time that they had no means of paying them. After the examination of the bankrupts on the subject. the Learned Commissioner said he did not think a sufficient case had been made out to justify a suspension of the certificate ; but, under all the circumstances, it must be of the second class only. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH THE EMPIRE IN FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY.—The Moniteur publishes the report of the Senate for the re-establishment of the Empire ; also, the senates consultum. The Imperial dignity is re established—Louis Napoleon, Emperor, under the name of Napoleon 111. The Imperial dignity hereditary in the descent of the Emperor; legitimate issue wanting— adoption of the legitimate children of Napoleon I. The adoption is interdicted to Louis Napoleon's succession. Louis Napoleon regulates the order of succession to the throne in the Bonaparte family ; his heirs wanting, senates consultum to appoint the Emperor. A senates consultum regulates the succession of the members of Louis Napo leon's family. They cannot marry without the authori zation of the Emperor. The Constitution of 1852 is maintained in all that is not contrary to the present senates consultum. The senates consultum has been adopted by 86 out of 87 senators. Four absent. The President has accepted the proposition for the re establishment of the empire. Prince Jerome resigns the functions of the President of the Senate. A decree convokes the French people on the 21st and 22d instant to accept or reject the " plebiscite." The voting will take place by a scrutin secret of " yes" or " no." Verification of the votes will be made by the Corps Legislatif. The Corps Legislatif is convoked for the 25th. It is reported that Jerome Bonaparte has also resigned the governorship of the Invalides, in consequence of the President's refusal to recommend Jerome's son to the succession. The Duke of Leuchtenberg, son-in-law of the Emporor of Russia, died at St. Petersburg on the sth instant. ITALY. A Turin letter of the 4th says, the Carour Ministry is definitively constituted. This result is regarded as a triumph for the Liberal party. THE MAYORALTY OF LIVERPOOL.

PRODUCE MARKET.—The demand for produce continues steady, and full rates are maintained. SUGAR has again been in demand for export and refining purposes, and these deseirptions are rather dearer; grocery sorts have maintained previous prices, but they have been in less demand. In COFFEE and Rum there is no change, but prices are supported. TEA continues to attract attention, and capitalists are quietly getting hold of all offering at moderate rates, chiefly Congou, ruling at lld. to Is. 3d. per lb. The impression that there will be a reduction in the duty is becoming stronger. The trade are also appearing as buyers, both on the spot and to arrive, which is a strong feature in favour of the article; generally they hold light stocks, and seem now to be aware of their dangerous position. On SATURDAY and To-DAY SUGAR has been in active and extensive demand, at a further ad vance of 6d. per cwt. on Colonial, and at full prices for foreign; the sales comprising 320 hhds. Antigua at 335. 9d. to 375. 9d., 140 hhds. Jamaica at 335. 6d. to 355., 40 hhds. Barbadoes at 35s 6d. to 39s 6d., '4.BU 17,....“4“,.

Of COFFEE a few casks of Jamaica have brought 665. 6d. to 80s., and 250 bags St. Domingo 445. per cwt. 50 bags Bahia COCOA, with all faults, sold at 19s per cwt. There has been a fair business transacted in TEA at full rates ; common Congou is in request at 9d per lb., but holders are unwilling to sell. A cargo of American RICE, to arrive, is reported at los. per cwt., and we have to add 200 bags SAGO FLOUR at 16s. 6d.; 50 chests livery orange SHELL LAC at 525. per cwt., and 300 bags Bombay LINSEED at 48s. per cwt., from the quay. COTTON.—The Cotton market of the past week, influenced by the adrices received from the United States, per Asia, of increased estimates of the grow ing crop, opened rather lower than the previous week ; and Cotton was quoted on Friday Id. de cline. The sales were 54,400 bales, of which spe culators took 19,000, exporters 3,820, and the trade 30,780 bales.—To-DAY, the America's ad vices, received here yesterday morning, are more favourable for the growing crop, and the estimates come much larger. The receipts at the shipping ports were heavy, say 256,000 bales, being 56,000 in excess; and the exports 70,000, or 20,000 more than at the same time last year. Under the in fluence of these reports, the market here has been quiet to-day, and closes with a downward tendency. American presses heavily for sale, and would, no doubt, he bought at lower rates. The sales since the publication of the weekly report are 19,000 bales, namely, 8,000 on Friday, 6,000 on Saturday, and 5,000 to-day. Of these, 6,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The import since Thursday is about 16,000 bales. WooL.—There was a good attendance of the trade here at the public sales on Wednesday and Thursday last, when a good assortment of low Wool was offered. For East India the bidding was very spirited, and the better qualities realized id. to ld. per lb., and the lower id. to per lb. higher prices han the last sales here. Egyptian also sold at to Id. per lb. advance. For English and Irish Wool there has been a good demand throughout the country this week ; Irish hogs, 14-Id. to 141 d. ; wethers, 13Id. to 13d. per lb., delivered in Dublin ; Down tegs, to 174 d. ; ewes, 14d. to 141 d. RESIGNATION OF THE REV. FIELDING OULD WE regret to have to announce that the Rev. FIELDING OULD has resigned the incumbency of Christ Church, in this town. On Sunday morning the rev. gentleman, having taken his text, proceeded to say that he app eared before them under somewhat painful circumstances. Having referred to his ministry amongst them for nearly seventeen years, he said that, in consequence of circum stances over which he had no controul, he deeply regret ted to have to inform them that his resignation, as the incumbent of that church, was now in the hands of the trustees, and that his labours would be removed to a dis tant part of the country in the course of a few weeks. After repeating the observation that his resignation had arisen from circumstances over which he had no controul, he remarked that that was neither the time nor the place to enter into any further details. The rev. gentleman then proceeded with his discourse. We understand that the more immediate cause of Mr. OULD'S resignation is to be attributed to some differences which have for some time existed between the rev. gentleman and the trustees of the church. BRAZIL. —By the Reindeer, Capt. Hunt f►om Paraiba, which arrived in this port on Saturday, we have a fort night's later intelligence from Pernambuco. The week previous to the sailing of the Reindeer had been very quiet in every branch of trade, but, as the crop season was fast approaching, a mere active trade was anticipated. The new yield of sugar had been arriving in fair quantites, giving every promise of considerable supplies. The quality was reported to be good. The entires of cotton had been considerable, but the quality was said to be somewhat inferior. The imports had beeu on a very limited scale. On the 3rd of October the Sevorn arrived, with advices of a rather discouraging nature. The large quantity of beetroot sugar in progress of manufacture on the continent conduced to render the advices from Europe less favourable. In exchanges no transactions had taken place, and nothing was expected to be done before the arrival of advices from the south. REPRESENTATION OP LISBURN.—The Lord Advocate of Scotland is the candidate for the representation of Lis burn, in the room of Sir James Emerson Tenuent. THE DOWAGER VISCOUNTESS CASTLEMAINE, mother of the present Lord Castlemaine, expired at her residence, Athlone: on Thursday last, after a protracted i11a053, MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. ROYAL AMPHITHEATILE.—The public have crowded to the opera since our last, applauding " to the echo" the finest music in some of our most charming operas. Miss Louisa Pyne has pleased us exceedingly with the compass and sweetness of her voice. Mr. W. Harrison his proved himself as great a favourite as ever, and delightful has it been to hear these two together, adding intensity to the pathos of their singing by the feeling of their acting. We shall not soon forget the second act in " La Sonnarn hula," though comparisons are against both, and we recommend all to go and see and hear for themselves to night. Last night Balfe's " Enchantress" was produced, and to-morrow night Mendelssohn's "Son and Stranger," and Mrs. Fitzwilliam's new opera, " The Queen of a Day," are in the programme. Miss Glyn is re-engaged. She is expected, during this engagement, to appear in several Shakspearian characters, one of which is Katha rine, in " Henry VIII." This rble, we may observe, gives room for the full development of her tragic and poetic interpretations, which are of the highest order. We mark this character because of the difficulty of ob taining an efficient representative, and the rarity of its assumption. It is one of Miss Glyn's most splendid achievements. ThE MARIONETTES.—If there should be any among our readers in this town who have not yet visited the per formances at present going on at the Theatre Royal, we advise them not to lose the opportunity thus afforded them of enjoying a couple of hours of most harmless mirth. The order of the pieces is this week reversed, " Aladdin" being played first, and the comic opera of the " Swiss Cottage" last. The " ebonies" still " go-a-head" between the pieces, and are as popular as ever. All the scenery is very beautiful, but more particularly that in Aladdin, where we are introduced to the " Cave of the Lamp," which abounds with gems of " the first water" and "broods of little Koh-i-noors." PARK THEATRE.—An entirely new and well-written adaptation of " Uncle Tom's Cabin," from the pen of a gentleman of this town, was produced last evening at the Park Theatre, in Parliament-street, and met with a rap turous reception from a very crowded audience. It is decidedly the best version we have yet had in a dramatic form, and is far superior to many of the pieces now play ing in London under the same title. SATURDAY CONCERTS.—The concert on Saturday last, at the Hall, in Lord Nelson-street, was presided ()Yur by the worshipful the Mayor (Thomas Littledale, Esq.,) who was warmly cheered both at the commencement and the conclusion of the performance. The conceit was one of the most brilliant of the season. The singing of Mrs. Sunderland and Miss Whitnall was excellent, and elicited several demands for repetition ; while Mr. Wray and Mr. Saqui gave general satisfaction. THE. LIVERPOOL SHILLING CoxcEßTs.—The first of the series took place last night at the Royal Assembly rooms, Great George-street. The artistes were the Misses Hammond, Mr. W. B. Wray, and Mr. Rowlands. They were all in excellent voice, and the superior mode in which every portion of the programme was sung, indi cated a most careful rehearsal. Miss Jessie Hammond gave the " Bel raggio," from Semirarnide, in admirable style, and in the song of the " Wanderer" her sister was heartily encored. The performances of Mr. Wray and Mr. Rowlands merit the highest commendation, and we hope that the succeeding concerts will pass off as satisfac torily as this has done. There was a numerous audience, and, had the weather been favourable, the room would,no doubt, have been full. NEW DEPUTY-LIEUTENANT.—Thos. Littleilale, Esq., Mayor, qualified as a deputy-lieutenant, at Kirkdale, ou Thursday last. THE LIVERPOOL AND NEW YORK PACKET-SHIP GREAT WESTERN, Captain Fnrber, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday evening, after a very fine run of fifteen days ten hours from New York. HOSPITALITIES AT THE TOWN HALL.—Last night Lisa. Ws" 41.".• kst X. 411, tio as Lit tledale, Esq.) gave a grand entertainment at the Town ball to a large party, among whom were the Right Hon. the Earl of Sefton and the officers of the Militia. About eighty sat down to dinner, which was followed by a ball, and dancing was kept up with great spirit until a late hour. DEATH OF MR. SPARKS.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. T. B. Sparks, in consequence of the recent accident at Huyton. On Wednesday he appeared to be progressing so favourably that he dispensed with the attendance of his nurse. On Thursday he underwent:a relapse, and continued to grow rapidly worse until Friday evening, at eight o'clock, when he expired. An inquest was opened, pro, forma, on the body of the unfortunate deceased, and adjourned until Tuesday, (this day,) to give time for the collection of the requisite evidence. COMPLIMENTARY DINNER.—On Saturday evening about forty supervisors and other officers of excise in Liverpool sat down to an excellent dinner at Mr. White man's Brunswick Hotel, Hanover-street, given as a com plimentary testimonial to Mr. Thos. Sprasten, on the oc casion of his retirement from the public sisrvice. The chair was occupied by Mr. Humphreys, collector, and the vice by Mr. Chadwick, inspector and surveyor. The re past was served in the worthy host's usual liberal style, and the entertainment passed off to the satisfaction of all present. THE SECOND REGIMENT OF ROYAL LANCASHIRE MILITIA.—The volunteers in this corps assembled yester day, at the Haymarket, Great Homer-street, at eleven o'clock, and afterwards proceeded to the barracks at Everton. A long time was occupied in getting up the companies for the different districts in the Liverpool divi sion, and there were several absentees. This, in some measure, may be accounted for by the fact, that many of the volunteers did not know where they were to attend. We noticed several of the officers in the ordinary undress military uniform, and some of the deputy-lieutenants, including Thomas Littledale, Esq., the mayor. ANOTHER MAMMOTH PACKET SHlP.—Launched, on the 14th inst., at Bath, Me., by Messrs. Trufant, Drum mond, and Co., the largest, and said to be the best, ship ever built in that region. Her frame is entirely of white oak, except the ends, which are live oak; her planking is also of white oak throughout. She will regis ter something over 1.500 tons, and was built for Messrs. Tapscott and Co.'s line, and named the " Wm. Tapscott," after the senior partner of the firm, resident in Liverpool, whose world -wide reputation well deserves the compliment. The " W. T." will be commanded by Captain Geo. B. Cornish, who has for many years commanded the packet ship " Sheridan," of the Dramatic line. This is, we be lieve, the fourth new ship this enterprising house have added to their line within the year.—New York Herald. AUDACIOUS BURGLARY.—A HOUSE STRIPPED OF ITS FURNITITRE.—A most daring and impudent burglary took place in Back Field-street, Everton, between the hours of seven and nine o'clock on Saturday evening last. About seven o'clock in the evening, the occupants of the house (a man and his wife) left the house to go to market, leaving it, as they imagined, safe. On their return they discovered that the house bad been entered by burglars, and almost every article of furniture taken away. The thieves had not even left them a bed to sleep upon, and all that remained were a few chairs in the kitchen. It seems somewhat mysterious that none of the neighbours were able to give the parties any information whafever on the subject, although there are several inhabited houses in the immediate neighbourhood. INQUESTS ON SATURDAY.—On the body of Ambrose Evans, aged 28, a labourer in the Albert Docks, who was accidentally crushed between two boats whilst at work on Thursday morning. He was removed to the Southern Hospital, where he died of the injuries he had received, on Friday morning, at half-past eleven o'clock.—On the body of a man unknown, who was a passenger on board the steamer Princess, from Glasgow, who, on Thursday evening as the boat was just inside the Crosby light-ship, deliberately jumped overboard. The captain ordered the engines to be reversed, and a boat being lowered be was got on board, but although every assistance was afforded by a surgeon who happened to be on board he never rallied.—On the body of William Coffield, aged 34, a tailor, who lived at 62, Park-lane, and who died in conse quence of being accidentally run over by one of Busby's omnibuses in Dale-street, on Friday evening. The de ceased was deaf and dumb.—On the body of John Bot tomley, who died from the rupture of a blood vessel on Friday morning, whilst at work as a pattern maker, in the foundry of Messrs. 'Weaver and Co., Scotland-road. The deceased had been for a long time subjected to a very severe asthma.—ln each case verdicts were returned in accordance with the evidence adduced. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—On Friday evening, the Rev. St. Vincent Beechey, rector of Worsley, delivered the first of his two lectures on " The astronomy of Scripture," illustrated by means of his improved oxy hydrogen light. He showed very clearly the antiquity of astronomical science, adducing many convincing proofs that it must have been thoroughly understood by the ante diluvian patriarchs. From a number of antique paintings, sculptures, and other evidences, he showed an identity between the superstitious emblems of various nations and the astronomical signs of the present day, and which ap pear to have been in use from the earliest tines. This was most strikingly instanced in the case of the bull and the lion. By reference to the account of the deluge, in the book of Genesis, he also proved that Noah must have been perfectly acquainted with the method of calculating both the solar and the lunar year. One of the most inte resting points in the lecture was that which related to the discovery of the polar star by the patriarch Seth, as men- Coned by Josephus, with the accompanying record that there were in his days four very bright stars exactly mark ing the four cardinal points, and the Imrrnornring of these statements with facts as they now exist, by means of the important phenomena of the precession of the equmoT.es, The lecture was well attended. SPAIN. MADRID, 21—It was rumoured that the Ministers bad adjourned the meeting of the Cortes to the 20th Decem ber, in order to follow the course of French affairs until that period. LONDON.

Consols market steady, at the prices of Saturday. 31- per Cents are slightly lower. The proclamation of the Empire in France by the Senate had had no effect on prices.—Transactions in Railway Shares are limited, and prices without material alteration. The French market was buoyant in the forenoon, but closed rather languid.— Gold Mining Shares are firm.—Miscellaneous Shares are well supported. Mexicans very firm.
