TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1850. A GREAT and good man has just been dismissed from the world's cares to his eternal rest, by one of those mysterious dispensations of Providence which are ever reminding us, in vain, of the frail hold which we possess upon earth, its honours, and its enjoyments. But yesterday, Sir Robert Peel was the observed of all observers in the British Senate. Never had his powers of intellect and judgment appeared more unclouded than in his speech condemnatory of the foreign policy of her Majesty's present government. To-day the bitterest of his enemies would blush to launch a reproach against him ; and the fondest of his friends recoil from the contemplation of the soulless dust of him whom they so recently idolized. The shock which this untimely event has caused through the length and breath of the land we shall not attempt to describe. To the honour of Eng lishmen be it recorded that it has been universal, and universally acknowledged. Many there are who, like ourselves, have conscientiously differed from him in opinion, and freely censured many acts of his political life. If the grave, however, were not a protection sufficient to screen the ashes of the dead statesman from rude reproach, the virtues of the man would do so. Mistaken as we deem Sir Robert Peel to have been on many sub jects ; inconsistent as he has seemed to us to have been in many of his political measures, we can con scientiously accord to him the credit of having been actuated throughout his political career by a deep sense of duty to his country, of devoted loy alty to the throne, and consideration for the well being of the humblest of his fellow beings. THE advices received from the United States, together with all the information which we have re ceived from intelligent members ofthis'great mercan tile community, tend to confirm the impression, pre viously conveyed in our columns, that the cotton manufacturing interest of this district is about to experience a check, such as may well cause the most obstinate free-trader to doubt the absolute wisdom of that policy which has staked the very existence of this country upon its growth and con tinued prosperity. There are no longer two opinions with respect to the shortness of the cotton crop of the years 1849-50; and as little, with respect to the probability of even a less for the coming year. Yet we see our cotton manufacturers keeping up their consumption of the raw material, almost to the ex tent of the past year, which they commenced with a stock on hand of 470,000 hales, and with the prospect before them of a crop of unexampled abun dance, which ultimately reached, of American sorts alone, to 2,728,596 bales, whereas the highest esti mate of the yield of the crop of 1849-50 is not ex pected to be much, if any, over 2,050,000 bales. Taking into account the stock at present on hand, and estimating at a liberal rate the probable stock to arrive, it will be seen, from a calculation con tained in our commercial article, that allowing 27,000 bales per week as the probable consumption of the remaining twenty-five weeks of the current year—and the consumption is at present going on at the rate of nearly 29,000 bales—we shall reach the 31st of December next, with a stock of only 185,000 bales, barely sufficient to afford an assort ment with another year of short yield in certain prospect. To reasoning men such a state of things, bearing upon the future condition of a leading branch of the manufactures of this country, is anything but satisfactory. Long ago we expressed our opinion, in which we were borne out by far better authori ties upon the subject than ourselves, that a consi derably decreased production was the true policy of the spinners in this district. We saw no en couragement to induce full time working, whilst there was every ground for proceeding at a less than average rate. The price of the raw material was advancing faster than the manufactured article could keep pace with it. There were no markets which offered great prospects of a favourable trade, or advanced prices. Yet our spinners and manu facturers have gone on, month after month, swell ing the amount of their exports, which we very much fear have been to too great an extent of a speculative character, in the nature of consignments on their own account. Most sincerely we wish that their result may turn out satisfactorily ; but it is greatly to be feared that such will not be the case to any great extent ; and that even those amongst them who have merely shipped to orders, will find that such orders have been given in anticipation of such a scarcity in the quantity and rise in the price of the raw material as will place them in a serious dilemma when they are driven to compete in foreign markets with their own previous unwarrantable ex ports, after cotton shall have become further and very materially enhanced in price. The following very sensible remarks, which we quote from Messrs. Littledale's monthly circular, published on Friday, contain a view of the subject with which we entirely coincide. They were writ ten, be it remembered, previously to the arrival of the Canada, which has brought full confirmation of the opinions previously entertained with respect to the shortness of the next crop : " The business of the greater part of the past half year has been of an undefined character productive of little satisfaction and little profit to those engaged. Opening, as it did, with all those elements in favour which have hitherto been looked upon as the sure indi cations of a large and prosperous trade, sanguine expec tations were formed and extensive speculations entered into in the first few weeks of the year ; but a change quickly followed, and for three or four months a general dulness and apathy pervaded our different markets. The causes appeared to be, the renewed depression of the rail way interest, and the marked falling off in the deliveries for consumption of all the leading articles of import, cotton, sugar, coffee and tea : the latter of these causes was clearly traceable to the depression of the home trade, and in the case of cotton to the rapid advance in price of the previous autumn. This last continued so long as the extent of the crop remained a matter of doubt, but when it became evident at the end of April that the present Stock was fully as short as estimated, and that the growing one was again late, spinners began to buy freely, and ex porters came into the Manchester market with large con tracts, both for present and forward deliveries :—The increased demand for the raw material and manufactured goods has continued to the present moment, until the consumption nearly equals that of last year, and exports for the six months of 1850, with cotton at 61d. per lb., exceed those of 1849, when cotton was 31-d. per lb." " This is an anomaly which at first sight has caused much surprise, as being a new feature in the history of the cotton trade, which it undoubtedly is, and when veiwed a little more closely presents two most important points for consideration ;—if these exports are really consumed, it shows that the field for cotton fabrics has so increased that price is not now the object it was a few years since, and that the consumption:of cotton has fairly overtaken the production ; but if these exports have not been sent out from the promising position of Foreign markets. few of which have risen in proportion to the increased coat of goods in this country, it must be simply from the almost universal impression both amongst manu facturers and merchants that cotton is yet to go higher and goods become dearer, from the very great deficiency in the cotton crop of the United States, and that nearly the whole of that deficiency will fall on this country, with out any other quarter to look to for supplies. We have no wish or intention by these remarks to force up the price of cotton ; far otherwise ; low prices'of an article so vastly important to the prosperity of this Country are equally es sential-to the safety of the merchant as of the manufac turer ; but as each succeeding steamer confirms more and more strongly the apprehension of a second short crop, the necessity of providing a supply by increased cultivation elsewhere demands more prompt attention, if we are to maintain our position as a manufacturing country." Most assuredly they have not been the real friends of the cotton manufacturing community, who have taught them to disregard altogether the opinions of men of character and intelligence in the United States, with respect to the prospects of the crop of this important staple. There may have been years in which such opinions have been falsified. There may have been years in which they have been erron eously given from interested motives, or without sufficient opportunities for giving them with ac curacy. The increased facilities of intercourse with America, which we now possess, and the increased ease with which by means of railways, telegraphic despatches, &c., information :from all parts of the cotton growing districts may be concen trated in one locality, have enabled us to get rid of .much of the uncertainty which formerly at tended the acquirement of accurate information as to the actual condition of this important crop. THE debate in the House of Commons, on Fri day night, on the motion of Mr. Cayley, for a repeal of the malt duty , as being a just concession $0 the auffering agricultural community, elicited from the Premier a declaration, the cool impudence of which has rarely been exceeded, even by that self-confident personage. Mr.llisraeli had reminded him and the House that the existing distress of the farmers of Great Britain, arising from low prices, bad been unexpected by the free•trade party. As a proof of this, he referred to the fact that, from the opening of the session to the present time, they had been labouring to induce the belief that the extremely low prices prevailing were only temporary; and that they must shortly rise. No such improve ment having taken place, he asked of Government the very pertinent question, what they thought must be the future condition of the agricultural classes, and what course they would be disposed to adopt in the event of the present, or still lessremune rating prices, being permanently established. We cannot trust ourselves to condense, or to convey, in our own language, the substance of Lord John Russell's reply, but shall give it in his own words, as reported in the London Times. Here they are " The hon. member for Buckinghamshire had told the House that the present policy of the Government had proved destructive to the agricultural interest, and they had also been told that the unexampled distress of that part of the community had taken the government by sur prise. He must say that they had not experienced any surprise whatever—he never supposed that, in the great transition which the country had undergone, suffering could have been altogether avoided. The hon. member opposite asked, with great appearance of triumph, whether this was a benefit or an evil ; on these points, however, he had given opinions frequently upon former occasions when other opportunities of discussing them had been afforded ; but, considering all the circumstances of the country, whether living under protection or free trade, he could under no circumstances resist the conclusion that whether prices were high or low, whether they sank or rose, the Government should never seek by the intro duction of an act of Parliament to produce artificial prices. That was a plain proposition. Whether hon. gentlemen considered that prices were at present not remunerative to the producers of the country, or whether they considered them generally beneficial to the country; whether they considered them one thing or another, the principle of legislation on the subject was a principle perfectly clear, and by which the Government meant to abide. (Cheers.) Whether prices remained at their present level, or whether they sank below it, they would not attempt to raise the price of the food of the people of England. (Cheers and cries of "Oh !") And that was his answer to the questian of the hon. gentleman. It was a matter of curious disquisition whether or not prices were or were not likely to r;se. Gentlemen might discuss, if they pleased, what was likely to be the produce of next harvest. For himself, he would not have the arrogance to predict either on the one subject or the other. (Hear.) He would leave prices to be regulated by the supply of this country and of the world, and he would not interfere with prices, whatever they might happen to be !" There can certainly be no mistake here. What ever the circumstances of the country may be; whether prices fall below the rates which will allow of the land of this country being cultivated or not; should the whole agricultural population, in fact, he swept into one vast gulf of pauperism and ruin, Lord John Russell will stand by unmoved, will cling to his dogma, and not raise a finger for their relief ! Petitions, motions in the House of Com mons, remonstrances, however influential the quar ters from which they come, must, from this time, be regarded as a farce and a mockery. The remedy must come from the undivided and resolute action of that important majority of the people of this realm, which feels itself oppressed and insulted. The battle must be fought in the Registration Courts of every county and Borough of Great Bri tain; and the time for that battle is at hand. The cry should now be raised by every lover of his country—every lover of his home and his children. " Register ! register! register !" and drive from office, and from the pay and patronage upon which they feed, at the cost of a nation's very existence, this insolent and obstinate faction. Such, obviously, is the direct and practical path to success. Such is the surest mode to save the millions who toil or own the soil from utter and speedy ruin. And we venture to predict that it will be approved by a large majority of the British people, in whose breasts above those of all others the love of justice and rights, combined with ster ling common sense prevails. This House of Com mons, which " will never seek by the introduction of an act of Parliament to produce artificial prices" of grain and other products of the soil, has dis tinctly refused to give its sanction to any measure by which that taxation presses most vigorously upon the farmer, and enhances the cost at which he is able to grow such grain, may be more equally levied. Is that justice? It imposes a heavy in come tax upon the agricultural classes, whilst it declares by the lips of the prime minister that it will be immaterial whether those classes shall be in possession of an income or not. Is that justice ? It tolerates, moreover, such rubbish as is contained in the declaration of Lord John, that whatever may hefal, " he will not attempt to raise the price of the food of the people of England ?" Who are they ? Why three-fourths of the very parties who raise that food, and can only subsist by raising it. The house indeed tolerated still worse rubbish and folly, when it listened to the following passage in the noble lord's speech, in which he stated stated his belief that " to enable the people (!) to obtain their food at the cheapest rate at which it could be pro cured, and to exchange the products of their in dustry with foreign nations, would afford the best foundation for the increased prosperity of the land !" Why, "the people," at this rate, must he the manufucturing classes exclusively; for what could the agricultural classes exchange with the foreigner? If it is not to be considered whether the tillers of the soil can live or not, by their in dustry, it is time for the manufacturer to consider whether or not those tillers of the soil will be enabled either to consume manufactured fabrics, or the produce for which they are exchanged with the foreigner, His grace the Duke of Bedford, for example, without a rent-roll, would be but an in different customer to his free trade draper, tailor, or boottnaker ; and small supplies of sugar, coffee, or tea, find their way to Woburn Abbey. We may, in conclusion, address a prophetic word or two to our very wise and flippant prime minister. It is very true that, as he remarks, the prosperity of the commercial and manufacturing classes ordi narily reacts favourably upon the agricultural classes. But we cannot discover at present any great amount of the prosperity in question. Lord John has forgotton that the prosperity of the native agriculturist, and the classes dependant upon, or deriving an income from the soil, is equally an im portant element in the production of manufacturing and commercial prosperity. Without a home trade, the customer of the foreigner is a sorry support to lean upon ; the free traders themselves are bitterly experiencing the truth of the fact; and we venture to tell him that from their own lips he will be shortly doomed to hear the loudest condemnation of the policy in which he prides himself, and which he so stoutly proclaims his intention to maintain. Let him even now appeal to " the people" for their verdict upon that policy, and be will discover two striking facts :—the first, that Manchester, Leeds, London, and the West Riding, do not hold all "the people;" and the second, that a majority in these imagined seats of " the people" would be glad to be rid of himself, his colleagues, and their policy. THE Pike scheme now seems to be a settled fact. Our very clever managers have confirmed its infliction upon us by their bungling in the matter of the petition required to secure them a locus standi in the Committee of the Lords. Petitions got up in Liverpool, in the preparation of which law stationers' clerks are employed by the day, or paid at a fixed amount per sheet, will henceforth be regarded by the Legislature, to use the memo rable words of the Duke of 'Wellington, as " a farce." We have now, as the result, only to devise the most economical means of carrying out the project, to which the inhabitants of Liverpool have been unfortunately committed. How is the money required for the necessary works to he raised ? Of course the answer will be, by borrowing. A loan, at 41 or 5 per cent., will be advertised for, and with success. Money is abun dant, and th e C or p ora ti on o f Li verpoo l i s i n goo d credit. To the cost of the project, which we unhe sitatingly set down at a million sterling, will, therefore, have to be add e d th e i n t eres t o f th e outlay during its pro gress an d a ft er it s comp l e ti on . Vet this large item m i g ht, w ith th e u t mos t ease and certainty, be saved alt oge th er . Th e es t a t e o f the Corporation of Liverpool and the proposed water-works themselves are regarded as affording sufficient security for the loan required ; and, if so, in the shape of bonds of £5OO or £l,OOO each, only payable five years after date, why not in one pound notes, or even in notes of a less amount, which would pass current as money amongst the trades men of the town, and be received in payment of all local imposts ? Our existing Corporation bonds are nothing more than renewable securities. They de not possess the advantage of being accepted in TO CORRESPONDENTS. Can our correspondent who writes from Oswestry send us another copy of his letter. The suggestion of " Commercial Freedom" has been antici pated.

The only advantage to the lenders of the money which they represent is the fact that they bear interest; whereas, by the adoption of the " time currency" system, or, in other words, small notes issued on Corporation security, and payable twelve months after date, (advocated in our columns, and ably explained by our correspondent Mr. Bancks,) the expense would be saved by the town; and the notes, being circulated in payment of wages and other charges, as they became due would be replaced in circulation by such portions of them as had been paid in to the Corporation for rents, water-rates, &c., or by the issue of new notes for those which had arrived nearly at maturity. In this way, as in the case of the market at Guernsey, which we recently showed had been erected by means of a similar temporary currency, we might awake some morning and discover that we bad achieved the possession of a splendid property which had never cost us a shilling of principal or interest to erect. We have been favoured by a friend, in whose correctness as an authority we place perfect confi dence, with the following document, addressed three years ago toa gentleman in Manchester, show ing the extent to which the United States of America have been indebted for their progress to a system of paper money, issued upon local or state security : " NEW YORK, AUGUST 12, 1815.—Provisions are very dear : beef 14d. per lb. this morning, which when I first came was only 5d.; everything else has risen in propor tion. Although we are not oppressed with taxes, we have to pay excessive rents, which makes it much about the same. We have no money at all r all paper—the penny and sixpenny paper. This country is very poor, and we do not see a silver coin once a month. Specie is at a premium of 15 per cent. Enclosed you have a specimen of our money. Firing is very dear throughout the winter ; it costs me 3 dols. a week for wood. All things com bined makes it hard work to gain a livelihood in this country."

I One Cent. I 1 Cent. On the reverse, " A cent saved is a cent got." There are several most instructive facts connected with the above statement, as well as a few fallacies in the statement itself. America, the writer says, was at the date of his letter miserably poor. She did not possess bullion enough to furnish a very small fraction of her circulating medium ; and hence was compelled to resort to paper almost ex clusively as the instrument of exchange, She was poor, however, in the precious metals alone. She had a vast extent of soil of inexhaustible fertility, and an industrious and enterprising population; and the only reason of her being without the pre cious metals, which we foolishly believe to be the only reliable standard of a currency, was that she was at war with Great Britain: the most extensive customer of her principal articles of export—cot ton and tobacco. Her agricultural population were reaping high prices for their products. The owners of property, of every description, were receiving highly remunerative rents. Labour was well re warded. Are these signs of poverty ? Certainly net. The fact is that although denuded of the precious metal, America not only contrived by the confidence of her citizens, in a system of paper money, to stave off the inconvenience, which would otherwise have been experienced by the de privation of an extensive market for her chief articles of export, but continued that progress which has at length raised her to the station of a first rate power. This very paper money, repre• sented to be the certain indication of poverty, ena bled her to build her magnificent cities, to increase her naval and mercantile marine, to extend her cultivation of the soil, and to develope the arts, the manufactures, and the industrial pursuits of her people, until, at the present hour, she is not only independent of the world, but even Great Britain, then her powerful enemy, is tributary to her for her southern products, and for food itself. What would have been the position of America in 1814 and subsequent years, had her government senselessly insisted, like our own, upon a currency restricted by the amount of specie in the hands of her bankers ? Obviously, and by every law of political economy, prices of land, stocks, the value of securities and of commodities of all descriptions, must have declined ruinously, owing to the appre ciation of the precious metals, and the necessity of making sacrifices in foreign markets to bring them back, in order to form the basis of her medi um of exchange. The industry of the country must have been paralyzed, and all progress in the devel opement of its resources stopped, during the course of this unnatural operation, the only parties benefit ing by it being the foreigner, the native creditors interest, and the monied capitalist. We have little present expectation that the cor poration of Liverpool will show itself to be any wiser than the rest of the nation by resolving to make its undoubted credit and its large corporate estate the basis of a sound and secure local curren cy. By the aid of such a monetary instrument, Liverpool might at this moment have been a city of palaces, well ventilated streets, splendid public buildings and docks, without feeling the burthen of an interest-bearing bonded debt, or any other drawback upon her local income, or the prosperity of her industrioue masses. And the time will undoubtedly come when her local legislators will look back upon the conduct of their prede cessors, in pandering to the prejudices of an age of charlatanism and false philosophy, as character ised by folly and blindness, as the most preposterous that ever was committed by civilised men. Sir J. Birch, W. Brown, A. Henry, and G. C. Legh, voted on Friday against the repeal of the malt tax. MR. JOSEPH BAILEY, JUN., M.P.—We are extremely glad to learn that the report of the death of this gentle man is entirely untrue. The report originated with the Hereford Times of Saturday week, but Mr. Bailey him self has written to the editor to contradict the statement. It will afford much gratification to Mr. Bailey's numerous friends in this town to hear, that though he is still con fined to bed, he is pronounced by his medical attendants to be better. THE STEAM SHIP ATLANTIC.—This splendid effect of American talent and enterprize sails to-morrow with her full complement of freight and passengers. During the past week she has been visited by some hundreds of our townspeople, all of whom, through the kindness of her commander, have been conveyed and admitted free, indeed Capt. West has himself remained on board directing the attention of strangers to the objects most important, and exhibiting that urbanity of manner, (particularly to the fair sex) that seems to be the peculiar characteristic of the American gentleman. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident, which from its character, might have been attended with very serious consequences, occurred on Saturday night to the mail train, which leaves London for Liverpool at a quarter before nine o'clock. The train had proceeded without obstruction until it arrived at the curve approaching Harrow ; the guard then perceived a luggage train stationary on the line, a little a-head of the train. The steam was immediately shot off and the engine reversed ; this, however, did not prevent a collision, which shattered one of the waggons, and shook and injured all the passen gers slightly. The most serious injuries were sustained by the guard, the engine-driver, and the stoker. CRICKET.—A match was played on Thursday last be tween the Bootle and Olympus Clubs, on the ground of the former, which terminated in favour of the Olympus, being decided by the first innings as there was not time to play the game out. We subjoin the score : COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT. Monday Night. THE revived activity which we last week noticed in commercial affairs has been maintained during the past week, and a fair steady business done in most articles. To a considerable extent, however, the feelings of our merchants have been damped by the untimely death of Sir Robert Peel, of which Wednesday morning's tele graph brought us the melancholy news. By all classes of the mercantile public the right hon. baronet's name has been associated with commercial progress. It was to his intimate knowledge of the requirements of this district that many, even of those opposed to him in general prin ciples, looked for such a modification of our recent com mercial policy as would restore confidence and promote a proper and well-regulated extension of the national enterprise; and the fact cannot be mistaken that even the free trade section of our community have shewn by their regret at the calamity which has befallen the right hon. baronet, their conviction of the want of fitness of the party at present in power to carry out successfully his recently-adopted principles. The sales of Cotton on Saturday were from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, at gradually hardening prices, many specu lators operating heavily in expectation of exciting accounts by the steamer expected on Sunday; demand freely met by holders, but still asking higher prices. The steamer arrived on Sunday, and her accounts from all the cotton sections were as gloomy as they could possibly be ; so that buyers of all kinds came in and swept the market of all the lots left over from Saturday : these were speedily fol lowed by the offer of plenty more at 1-16 advance, and in this way 15,000 bales have been sold to-day at hardening prices fully id. since this day week ; and though the mar ket is freely supplied, it is rather because the article leaves a good profit than that confidence in it is diminished. Many parties are very decided that Cotton is to rule very much higher than at present, but sufficient for the day is the evil thereof; and we will not opine what may follow a second short crop of Cotton, only secondary in its con sequences to a leek of corn. ''he certainty of a deficiency in the supply of this raw material, almost irrespective of a seriously decreased crop next season, will be evident from the following table : Present stock of Cottton in Liverpool, 4th July, in round numbers Probable supply to the end of the year— From America........ . 300,000 bales. „ Bombay.. 70,000 „ „ Egypt and other countries ... 50,000 „ _ _ 420,000 ~ 920,000 „ Deduct probable exports to , the Continent.. 60,000 ~ Total to 31st December Consumption to end of year, (25 weeks,) at 27,000 per week Probable stock on the 31st •Dec. next .... 185,000 bales.

Thus we imported up to 4th July, 1849, 1,230,869 bales, and up to 31st December of that year a total of 1,732,554 bales. Hence the imports from the sth of July were 501,685 bales. The imports during the same period of this year we have put down at 420,000, which will be a falling off to the extent of 80,000 bales. We think we are fully justified in anticipating such falling off on two grounds :—First, That the crop on which we had to draw last year was unprecedentedly large, whilst that of the present year has been less than an average. Thus the receipts at the ports in America, up to the 25th June, were last year 2,636,000 bales, whilst this year, nearly the whole having been forwarded from the interior they only amount to 1,970,000 bales. And, secondly, Because it is perfectly certain that America can, and will hold back a supply sufficient for her - own consump tion, in anticipation of a further deficient crop in the coming season ; for by the latest arrival previously to the 4th instant, as stated in Messrs. Littledale'a circular, just published, we find that there were on the way for Liver pool only 40,000 bales, against 117,000 at the same period last year.. The Share Market has been firm all week, with a consi derable amount of business done. Prices, however, have not experienced any change worth noticing. This day's quotations are—" Great Western, 59 ; Leeds Fifths, 9 11/3 lis. ; London Quarters, t 16/3 pm. ; Fifths, 1 pm. ; Sheffield No. 1,8 i ; Ditto Preference, 8* ; Midland Halves. 24 11/3 11/3 dis. ; North Union A, 237 ; Borough Bank, 12k.; Royal Assurance, 18/9 pm. The improvement noticed in Friday's market, gained increased strength on Saturday, owing, no doubt, in a great measure to the deluge of rain which fell during the greater part of that day ; anl a large business was done, including the sale of several floating cargoes, at further advanced rates. Some business was also done yesterday at the full prices of Friday ; but the market may be de scribed as quiet though firm. This day's market is ex pected to open firm also ; but much must depend, during this critical period, upon the state of the weather. In some parts of the country reports are rife of the grain crops being laid,,although there are few complaints in this neighbourhood. From Friday last to the close of the week the arrivals coastwise and from Ireland continue in significant. From the United States we have 5676 quar ters Indian Corn and 3275 barrels flour; Canada, 1542 quarters 'lndian Corn, and Europe, &c., 4720 quarters wheat, 1270 quarters oats, 750 quarters beans, 2155 quar ters Indian Corn and 683 sacks of flour. The exports of Indian Corn to Ireland amount to 6535 quarters. OLYMPUS. First Innings. Second Innings. J. Fairclough, b Branch 2 c Ross, b Grindrod 4 T. Lewis, b Branch P. Gardner, b Branch A.

We have received the following from an "Old Turfite :" Cockermouth Maid-of-Team-Valley Vampyre 3 His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury has conferred the degree of Master of Arts on the Rev. D.James, F.S.A., incumbent of St. Mary's Church, Kirkdale, Lancashire. The Bishop of Chester intends to hold his next ordina tion at Chester, on Sunday, the 13th of October. Candi dates must send all their necessary papers to Charles T. W. Parry, Esq., Chester, his lordship's secretary, on or before Saturday, the 14th September next at the latest. Mr. Eugene Leonard, late mate of the " Milicete," of Liverpool, and Mr. Charles Leisk, mate of the "Salacia," were examined and found qualified for second-class mas ters' certificates, on Friday the sth inst. LAUNCH.—We understand that a fine vessel of the burden of 5 1 414 tons will be launched to-morrow at eleven, from the building ground of Messrs. Cato, Miller and Co., Brunswick Dock. This noble ship is intended for the West coast trade, and is the property of Messrs. Curr y and Newton, and Messrs. Pryd e an d J one s. She will be commanded by Captain Fox. The French Legislative Assembly has recorded on the minutes of their proceedings their sense of the loss sus tained by the death of Sir Robert Peel. THEATRE-ROYAL, WILLIAMSON-SQUARE.—The oper atic performances of the company engaged at this Theatre during the past week have given marked satisfaction to the audience ; and Miss Louisa Fyne has confirmed the opinion which we expressed of her in our last. Yesterday evening the opera of Charles 11., founded upon the comedy so well known under this same title, was performed for the benefit of Mr. W. Harrison ; Miss Pvne sustaining, with great effect, the character of Fanny, Captain Copp's daughter. The University of Jena has granted to Meyerbeer the title of Doctor, or, as the German phrase runs, the dig nity of the Doctor's hat. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—We regret to find that this much respected nobleman continues seriously indis posed, and we fear that his Royal Highness will not rally unless a favourable change soon takes place. The follow ing bulletin issued yesterday is of a very melancholy character. " His Royal Highness, who has been labour ing for some time under serious indiposition, continues in a state of great debility." VIOLENT ASSAULT.—Jas. Newman and Jas. John son, the former an old and the latter a young man, were brought up at the Police-court, yesterday, before Mr. Rushton, charged with having committed an assault on two lads. From the statement of complainants it ap peared that the prisoners made an indiscriminate attack upon them in Boundary-place, near midnight of Satur day. The younger prisoner stabbed one of them in the arm with a fork ; he also stabbed the other with the same instrument in the hand. While this was going on the old man was menacing the crowd with a " pick." They were both fined 20s. and costs ; in default of pay ment to be imprisoned one month. BURGLARY.----The house of Mr. Abel Hunter, situate in Mersey-terrace, Bootle, was forcibly entered early on Tuesday morning last. One of the county police on duty near the place, was attracted to the spot by seeing a bun dle lying on the ground; upon examination it proved to contain a number of articles which had been removed from the house.—At the latter end of last week, a man named Low was apprehended, and upon his person was found some articles belonging to Hunter; there is little doubt he was concerned in removing the bundle alluded to, and that he was in the house when the officer was prosecuting his search, but contrived to escape. He was taken before the county magistrate yesterday. DUTCH RHENISH RAILWAY.— The annual general meeting of the company was held at Amsterdam, on the 28th ultimo. William Alicard, Esq., of Warring ton, and Mr. H. C. Beloe, of Liverpool, attended as a deputation from the English shareholders. These gen tlemen held proxies representing upwards of 50,000 shares. The president and vice-president for the ensuing year were re-elected, and a very elaborate and interesting report read. The company is in a position to meet all its present engagements without having recourse to' a further call. Thanks were voted to Mr. Curtis for his unwearied exertions on behalf of the company, as also to Charles Holland, Esq., and to the Liverpool committee. The board of directors was reduced to seven members, wd th e board of commissa ries to twenty-one. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF SIR ROBERT PEEL. A meeting of a few of the leading shopkeepers in this town was held yesterday, when it was decided to partially close their establishments during the whole of the fore noon of this day (Tuesday), as a mark of respect to the memory of the late Sir Robert Peel, whose remains will be deposited this morning in the family vault at Drayton. It is the intention to open the shops as usual at twelve o'clock. We have no doubt that this suggestion will be very generally carried out, at least in the leading streets of the town, as there appears a simultaneous wish on the part of the public to manifest in every available way the peat loss which the nation has sustained. TRIUMPH OF THE PIKE. The select committee appointed by the House of Lords in the case of the petition against the Liverpool Water- Works Bill met on Thursday. It was composed of the following noblemen :.—the Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Falmouth, the Earl of Eglinton, Lord Alvanley, and Lord Clarina. The Earl of Hardwicke presided. The promoters of the bill were represented by Mr. Tal bot, Q. C., Mr. Crompton, Mr. Burke, and Mr. Paget. The opponents of the bill were certain ratepayers of Li verpool, who appeared by Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. James.—Mr. Talbot rose- to open the proceedings, but was interrupted by the Chairman, who said that they were instructed by the House of Lords to inquire into the va lidity of the petition against the bill. Evidence was then gone into :—Mr. Phipps, law-stationer, proved that be tween nine hundred and onethousand of the signatures were written by one law. clerk employed to obtain sfgna tures. About one thousand five hundred signatures were written by Mr. Fletcher, John Brennan, and Jos. Byrnes, all law-clerks. A number of witnesses were therrexamined who proved that the " manufacture" of signatures was carried on upon a wholesale scale. Some of these witnesses were the very persons employed to procure the signatures. To use an expression of one of these persons, the thing was " slammed over." At the conclusion• of the proceedings, the Chairman intimated to Mr. James that it would be necessary he should next morning show that proper care was taken to ascertain that the signatures were genuine. Mr. James undertook to do ro. On Friday morning the committee again assembled : Mr. James said that his learned friend, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, and himself had, since the meeting of the com mittee yesterday, taken into their serious consideration the resolution passed by the committee with reference to the course to be taken upon the petition. As the evi dence they would have to lay before the committee would be of exactly the same nature as that offered yesterday, they did not propose to trouble the committee with it : but they trusted their lordships would acquit the com mittee of ratepayers, for whom they applied, of anything like complicity in the- transactions which had been de scribed. Some explanation was given to their lordships. by the Rev. Rector Campbell, in elucidation of the part he had adopted relative to Mr. Greame's amendment. Their Lordships were perfectly satisfied with the rev, gentle man's statement, and complimented him on the course he had taken. The Chairman, in the name of the committee, declared the petition had no toeus standi, and that, there fore, counsel could not be heard on it. A request from the counsel for the petition to be heard on the question of locus - standi was likewise refused. Mr. Talbot, for the promoters, then opened the case, and went into a length ened resume of the entire question. The committee ul timately adjourned to Saturday, when the case was re opened, and the bill was carried without mutilation. AMERICA. By the Royal mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Harri son, on Sunday, we have New York papers to the 25th, Boston to the 26th, and Halifax to the 28th ult. respec tively. In addition, we have a telegraphic communica tion, via the latter port, containing news from New York to the 27th. She brought 70 passengers. The steam-ship Niagara arrived at New York on the 27th. The royal mail steam-ship Thames arrived at Mobile on the 19th with £300,000 in specie on freight. The steam-ships Ohio and Crescent City were at New York, from California, with gold to the amonnt of 400,000. The steam-ship Viceroy, Captain Ewing, cleared from New York, on her return to Galway, on the 21st ultimo. Advices from San Francisco, California, to the 15th of May had been received at New York by the Crescent City. This steamer had about 5250,000 in gold dust, all in private hands. Another destructive fire took place at San Francisco on the morning of May 4, reducing nearly one-third of the city to ashes, and consuming property to the amount of $5,000,000. The fire was supposed to be the work of an incendiary, for whose detection a reward of 55,000 is offered. Many firms had their stores entirely destroyed. Business, however, after the first slight check had revived considerably, and purchasers from the inte rior were buying extensively, and at the date of our ac counts the city was again partially burnt up. Money was easier, and loans on undoubted security was quoted at six per cent. per month. The screw steam-ship, Sarah Sands, which left Panama for San Francisco on the 9th April, had not arrived out, and fears were entertained of her safety. Gold was still found in abundance. The most extrava gant stories are told of Tuolumo Placer, lately discovered on the river of that name, near Columbia city. The Stock ton Tinzes says that a simple statement of facts far sur passes the most wondrous dream of the necromancer. It states that' lumps of pure gold had been found to the depth of sixty feet from the surface, and that two large masses of gold, one weighing 231 b. 20z., the other 191 b. lloz., had been dug from the placer. The grand jury at New Orleans have found true bills against General Lopez, Mr. Sigur, Governor Quitman, Judge C. Pinckney Smith (of Missouri), ex-Governor Henderson, Mr. O s Sullivan, and ten other of the Cuban invaders. In the Senate on the 24th Mr. Abbot Lawrence's ap pointment as Minister to England was confirmed. The debates in Congress had not resulted in the accomplish ment of•any of the slavery measures which have been before the House for such a length of time. A formidable crevasse had broken out in the Mississippi, at the Grand Levee, in the parish of Point Coupee, which threatened the most serious damage to some of the richest and most fertile portions of Louisiana. Every attempt to arrest its progress had been abandoned, and the worst fears in regard to its effects seemed likely to be realized. From Port au Prince we learn that the island of Hayti was in a state of perfect tranquillity. Business was re duced to an extreme point of depression. Money was scarce, and little copper, logwood, or mahogany in the market. Advices from Guadaloupe report that the insurrection among the negroes had been completely quelled by the Government, several of the principal ringleaders having been shot. We learn from Venezuela that General Paez bad sailed for St. Thomas's, en route to the United States. N. P. Willis, the author, has instituted a civil action against Forrest, the tragedian, for the assault reported in our last. From Jamaica we have advices to the 17th ult., being ten days later than our last accounts by the West India steam-ship Trent. A proclamation had been issued con vening the Assembly for the 25th ult., to make certain amendments to a bill which passed last session, to raise a loan for the purpose of liquidating the liabilities of the island. It is announced that the British vessels of war on that station had received orders to detain, and takeinto American ports, suspicious vessels found off the Cuban coast. The great temple at Nauvoo, one of the most remark able architectural curiosities in the United States, was de stroyed by a hurricane on the 27th of May. This stupen dous edifice was erected by the Mormon religious sect in 1846, and was partially burned in October, 1848, leaving only its four walls standing, the timber and wood-work having been consumed by the flames, in March, 1849, it was purchased by the Icarian community, under the well known French socialist, M. Cabet, for the purpose of con verting it into an immense refectory for 1000 persons, with the halls, saloons, school-rooms, and places of reunion for the public occasions of the community. The work of re building had made some progress, the mechanics were en gaged in the construction, when the destructive tornado burst forth, levelling one of the walls with the ground, and causing so much damage that the other walls were taken down the next day. Fortunately no lives were lost by the disaster. The details of the burning of the steamer Griffith on Lake Erie, announced by the last arrival, are of the most heartrending character. The fire was discovered near the chimneys about half-past three o'clock in the morning, and spread with such rapidity that no hope was cherished of saving the vessel.. She was about three-fourths of a mile from the shore ; and fifteen miles east of Cleveland, when she was abandoned. A large number of burned bodies were found on the wreck, although it is supposed that the principal part of the victims were drowned after throwing themselves into the water. The whole number of passengers was about 300, of which only between forty and fifty were saved, Among the unfortunate victims was a large number of German and other emigrants. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH FROM NEW YORK TO HALIFAX. New York, Thursday Evening, 27th June, 1850. Excepting the usual com merc i a l intelligence, there is nothing of marked inr e t es t f or t e l egra phic communica tion since the Canada sailed. The steamer Niagara reached this evening. Telegraphic accounts by the Niagara have but slightly affected the cotton market. The lower grades could be bought lc. under Tuesday's prices, but all descriptions above middling are fully as dear, whilst really good and fine commands 4-c. higher rates. Corn and flour market rather dull, without any change of importance in prices. Canada flour steady, at sd. to sd. 6c. Stock market buoyant, with increased activity. Sales to-day, 135,000; U.S. Sixes, 167 to 1151 ; Ohio S evens, 175 to 115. There is a great demand for Erie Railroad Stock and the E bo x n c d h s an ; gte, 11 the bonds 0. at 59 to 99, and the stock at second 764, D ESPER ATE LEAP FR OM B LACKFRIARS BRIDGE.—On Saturday morning , between twelve and one o'clock. a re. named dmeptat atN Ma rgaret o. self-destruction 22, Ne Thomson, w.cut by leaping off the ce ntre arch of Blackfr iars Bridge. The Lw s p ha e mo c s t be a e b th l h e r bm m aa a nd r d r e i e aa d ndde f u nfortunate woman , who was dressed in the first st y le of a r e t t s e i fashion, and wore a watch and g old chain round her neck, s e f p ms e ma r a l i fema l e, y e ' was observed by the workmen on the bridge to walk hur riedly past, muttering something to herself. She then mounted one of the seats, and deliberately jumped over th e parapet into the river. An alarm was given, and seve ral boatmen put off, who succeeded in rescuing her. She was in a very e x hausted state, and eventually recovered. It has been discovered that she was induced to commit the rash act owing to 4 suspicion o f her husband's fidelity. hiy t 1851' .
