Our late contemporary of Tuesday—the Times—however, has now volun teered the lead in an upward movement, which we have no hesitation in following, as we are certain that it will conduce infinitely more to the public's than to our own individual advantage, by enabling us to devote increased talent and expense to the improvement of our paper. We beg leave, there fore, respectfully to inform our readers, that, on and after Tuesday next, the price. of the LIVER POOL STANDARD will be FOURPENCE.

But the rate would be most available if the fears of an invasion payers, who do not participate in the profits of should ever be realised. We have ever considered brokerages, &c. know well enough that the trade of a port may increase—its imports and exports the navy as the natural protection of the country, and have viewed with regret its declination in effi- increase—and its poor rates and highway rates in crease in the same proportion.

Much money to the country might be saved, and the military converted into ,a. More powerful body, by accustoming them to. manual labour, while the soldiery might receive much larger pay than at present. The Roman legions were ever employed, and it is worthy of remem brance that they never visited any country but left behind them some monuments of their industry; some works of public usefulness. The soldiery of Peter of Russia and Napoleon Bonaparte were inured to labour, and there seems no just reason why we should support ours in idleness and,inac tivity. The British soldier is not more inclined to be slothful than any other, and would gladly hail any opportunity of bettering his condition by the fruits of his labour. And surely he would not be less able to wield the sword because he had clenched the hammer, or undergo the fatigues of a ' 4 h less fortitude because he had expe -eed the toil of the workshop. To keep an army anemployea is the surest mode of effeminating them, and the country can expect but little protec tion from a host of men so enfeebled themselves.

We have been told, when complaining of the non-fulfilment of 1 all the bright promises held out to us, ascertain to result from the adoption of free trade, to wait awhile. The advent of summer was to bring us a revival of confidence and of business ; yet summer came unattended with the slightest glimpse of sunshine. Autumn was next to repair the omission. It brought us a good harvest, which has generally I been the accompaniment, and, in a great Measure, the cause of. prosperous commerce and well ern ' ployed industry ;. but the usual result has not fol lowed. Then Christmas, or the new year, was to *usher us into a brighter state of things. Our mills were to resume their wonted activity, and at length we were to approach the halcyon days which were predicted for us. We arc now nearly at the end of the first month of that new year ; yet what do we see around .us A prostrate commerce ; mills working half time, or not working at all ; railway enterprise 'suspended ; credit and confidence almost universally destroyed, and suffering pervading all classes, engaged in the pursuits of commerce and campaign wr productive aria .ome useful and indus- of the km industry. There is not a solitary bright feature in the whole landscape ; not agleam of approaching sunshine ; nothing to afford a hope of recompense in the future for our present and past endurance. Even the boldest of our prophets have ceased to predict the day upon which the tide will turn in our favour: _ _ _ ) - f the enormous military sevent '-live per c , whil estim ',mg twenty-five per cent. would, added to the produce of his labour, the soldier the best instead of the worst-paid 'le kingdom. The defenders of our sed to hardship, and used to the rise, would become more in ul applying their practical ;s of their profession of art the most invete- t manual exe than ever, How is this state of things to be accounted for ? The effect of the potato rot, we should think, ought to have been got rid of by this time. We have food of every sort in abundance, and cheap. Our investments in railways may, in part, account for the commercial embarrassments under which' we labour at home ; but they certainly cannot be urged as the cause of the almost total absence of foreign demand for our industrial products. We have no high price of. cotton to complain of ; no famine in the raw material of our most important manufac ture. The Continent of Europe is inundated with the money which we have paid for its breadstuffs ; America is fulllot English gold and bills ; from the Steppes of the. Caucasus to the backwoods of the New World, we have been eager buyers of the chief necessaries of life ; yet nothing flows back. The produce of our spindles and our looms, our mills and our forges, our factories and our work shops, are neglected, and seem almost to , have ceased to be essential to the comfort or the use of the human race. Again we ask - --how is this state of things to be accounted for ? Again we remind the politico-economical philosophers of • the day, that we ate in the possession of the boasted sove reign cure of all commercial ills—Free Trade. considerable moment to the ent has so recently abrogated ,d slavery which used to pre- Or the service, and that short w substituted for the almost It is a matter country, that goof the system of II wail in the enlistment f terms of • interminable period of twenty-one years.

As such arrange ments would involve no additional amount of taxation, they might be continued as the regular Such, t we improved for peace establishment, although fully sufficient for the fiercest war. While, however, there is the greatest reason to fear a war between France and England, yet who can look forward to such a struggle without the greatest grief, and a silent prayer to Heaven that such a dreadful catastrophe may be overuled. France and England, so nearly connected with one another by the ties of commerce, whose people have the same common love of liberty, whose laws, manners, and institutions are so nearly similar — will, should they rush into the heat of battle, shake the earth to its base, and convulse the fabric of nature. Nations will pause during the deadly strife, and a spectacle will be presented to the world more awful than can be conceived. How much more honorable would be a generous rivalry in arts, science, and literature, than the low ambition of mutual conquest and extermination ? How much good might be effected by a cordial cooperation of these two greatest kingdoms of the world, in spreading civilisation, diffusing knowledge, and promoting the welfare of the human species ! and how much misery will be caused to the present and all future generations by their collision ! France and England have been regarded as the guardians of the liberty of Europe, and for a time Louis- Philippe joined with the United Kingdom in efforts favorable to freedom; and the abolition of slavery and the independence of Belgium were the favor able results. Having, however, become an abso lute monarch himself, he has sought alliances with tyrants, and is now employed with them in aug menting the despotic power, while England is left as the only protector of the rights of man. Although sincerely wishing for peace, if France should join with the Northern powers in a war with England, yet relying upon that spirit which pervades the hearts of freemen, and the patriotism of our countrymen—knowing the love they bear to the institutions of our native land—we should not fear for the result, nor tremble, if the confederated world were in arms against us. THE Dock Bill, altered in form to meet the sense of the amendments passed at the last meeting of the Council, will be brought to-day before the consideration of a special meeting of that body; and we understand that it will contain no clause for rating any dock warehouses which may in future be erected by the Committee. We regret this fact. The public might have been satisfied with, and the Council would undoubtedly have approved, anv bill of the Dock Committee, in which this reasonable concession to the interests of owners of other property had been made. But they can exercise no such forbearance towards a measure which proposes to exempt the Committee's property from Our ordinary local burthens. Apart from all question as to the propriety of permitting a public body to become traders, by the aid of public funds, there can be little doubt that such a body ought to contribute to those rates for which individuals are held liable; and should the Com mittee persist in their refusal to make part of their bill a clause binding them to such liability, we can THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. It will doubtless' be urged that we are as yet only in a state of transition. We may be told that our present sufferings are only the result of the re coil of past indiscretions ; that we have over traded; that our commercial system has been rot ten, and must be rebuilt upon a sounder basis, and with more solid materials; that our commercial men have been practising on the credulity of the world, and exhibiting as real wealth what was only valueless paper. But what of all this ? The plain ' and undeniable fact is before us that not one of our foreign markets is at this moment glutted with our products, and yet not one is showing any anxiety to be supplied. We may be in bad credit ' • but it is not of want of credit that we complain. We want creditors, not credit. We want to sell our goods — not to buy. We want to set our mills in motion and to employ our artizans ; and free trade is not exhibiting its promised capacity to do so for us. We are willing to take anything in exchange which foreign nations have to offer us. We take either " rags or bones, or old metal spoons"; but we hawk our wares in vain. The world will have nothing from us but our gold or our silver, our securities or our railways. We have been for years erecting a showy fabric of prosperity, and we are now selling the bricks to enable us to live. The question which presents itself, in the endea vour to arrive at a solution of our difficulty, is a sufficiently startling one. Can it be, whilst de luding the world by the show of our manufacturing power, that we have been deluding ourselves ? Are we, as a people, so essential to the existence of the whole human race as we have led ourselves to be lieve ? Present circumstances, it must he con fessed, do not furnish a very flattering reply. The world abroad seems to go on very comfortably without coming near to our shop. We do not hear of people going naked, although we have ceased to weave and spin. The Saxon peasant and the Russian boor, the Dane and the Swede, the Prussian and the Pole, are duly protected from the elements, although the factories of Manchester and Leeds are only half worked. How is this ? Can we have been for years past creating a fictitious trade ? The supposition is not very impossible. We may have been bolstering up a system of credit throughout the world, which has made for us cus tomers, who will no longer remain so when we call upon them, as at present we must do, for real value as the return for our wares. We fear very greatly that the dream of our inor dinate commercial power is in course of being dis pelled ; and that we must apply to ourselves the common-sense principles and truths which apply to the rest of the world, and remodel our policy ac cordingly. We can consume only a certain portion of the surplus produce of foreign countries; and when we import more than we can consume, we must expect to be visited with the penalties which attend improvident trading. The world- will not be driven to square its transactions with ours. We cannot compel - the exchange of coffee for calico, or corn for woollens. The foreign producer takes, in the long run, only what he requires, however much we may send him, and the excess will remain a drug upon the shelves of the dealers. Wise nations, not already indoctrinated with the de structive principles which sacrifice native industry to encourage that of competing foreigners, are not likely to be lured into following the example which we have set them, and which has thus far been pregnant only with disaster and suffering. We should imagine that experience has already shown how delusive is any dependence upon an• increase of exports to remunerate us for the loss of our home demand ; and how still more delusive is the hope of a general adoption of our suicidal policy. What can be better evidence on this point than the following advertisement, which we find in the Manchester Guardian of Saturday last : " Wanted, a partner, with £4,000, in a flourishing woollen manufactory in Belgium. As this is a most eli gible opportunity for the investment of the above capital, the trade being protected against foreign competition by heavy import duties, none but principals need apply." What a mockery is here of the " dreams" of our own free-trade philosophers ! We can boast of no " flourishing woollen manufactories." We have no branch of our industry flourishing. And why ?- The advertiser suggests to the readers of our free trade contemporary the reason. We have no trades " protected against foreign competition by heavy import duties." We have senselessly thrown open our own markets to the industry of the world, and receive no concession in return. We may buy Belgian and other products in as great quantity as we wish ; hut the payment must be in sovereigns or shillings, not in calicoes or woollens, unless we can first pay the duty imposed upon them by the foreigner, and afterwards undersell the native producer. A special meeting of the Council, to consider the Dock Bill will be held this morning. We shall give the parti culars of the meeting in a second edition. His Excellency General Edhem Bey, Minister of Public Works in Egypt, and suite, are , staying at the Angel Hotel. They have expressed themselves much pleased with the public buildings, &c. of Liverpool. EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.—At a meet ing of a board of examiners, held on the 4tkinstant, Captain• J. Sedgwick Savery, master of the Iron. Barque, Calypso, of Cork ; on the 18th Captain James Tweedie, late master of the Bangalore, of London, and Mr. James M'Pherson, second master- of the British and North American royal mail steamship, Caledonia, and on the 21st instant Captain Warre Bradley Wells, late master of the Belle, of Liverpool, were respectively examined, and each found duly qualified for a first class master's certifi cate, for which they had applied. The miners and iron-workers in the employment of Lord Ward were to receive notice on Saturday of a reduc tion in their wages, similar to that agreed to by the other masters, who' seem resolved not to give way, whilst the men 'appear equally determined to stand out until their demands are conceded. It is confidently stated that within a very short time there will not be a single furnace or pit at work in the whole of the South Staffordshire district. A fearful prospect. . - - THE IRISH SOCIETY OF LONDON.—We have received the second number of the " Irish Intelligence," pub lished by Messrs. Seeley, Burnside, and Seeley, of London, giving most encouraging accounts of the pro gress of the above interesting society, by whose efforts the Gospel is being circulated amongst the benighted population of the sister island in their native tongue. We do not know any mode in which Protestants can better display their sincerity towards Ireland, than by giving their support to the Irish Society. We ob serve that its organ, the " Intelligence, is in future to be published monthly, and a very valuable little publication it is. The wood-cut in the present number of Brosna Parsonage and School-house looks almost like a picture of some missionary station in a ne glected heathen country. IRISH BEGGARS. —Yesterday, at the police-court, no fewer than twenty-two natives of Ireland, male and female, were brought up charged by police-officers with begging in the streets. Mr. Rushton, in each case, said there was a provision for them in their own country; under the existing poor-law, and put to each of them the question,—" Will you go home ? ' and stated that if so, he would pass them. The general replies were,—" I will not ;" " I have no business at home ;" " I have no home to go to ;" and the like. Mr. Rushton said he should, in all cases of refusal, carry out the law, and send the parties to gaol for a month. Very few of the number stated agreed to be passed to their respective parishes. In several instances money was found in the pockets of the parties, and he ordered that the same should be appro. priated towards their maintenance while they were in prison.

One of the prisoners, Thompson, was seen on the roof of the building, and a police-officer swore that he saw Williams at the foot of the ladder, by which the other had ascended. Williams was not appre hended until he was seen in the court just before the ex amination. He strongly protested his innocence, s ay i ng that he must have been taken for another person in a similar dress, as he could prove that he was at his own house at the time, if he were allowed to bring up hi, wit _ nesses. Mr. Rushton had the depositions taken down in writing, committed Thompson for trial, and remanded Williams for a day to enable him to produce the witnesses to whom he had alluded. MEETING OF THE LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.—Last night the usual meeting of this society took place at the Royal Institution. The chair was oc cupied by the Rev. Dr . Booth, and the attendance was pretty numerous. Mr. lligginson exhibited, and made interesting remarks upon some specimens of rude pottery, from an island, now uninhabited, in the Bay of Honduras, —The main subject of the evening was an essay read by Mi. Alfred Rimmer (a youth 18 years of age, and, we learn, a pupil of our townsman, Mr. J. Cunningham), on Gothic achiteeture, its history, and its peculiar adaptation to ecclesiastical structures. The lecture was of consider able length, hut written in a manner that shelled such research, good taste, and perception of the beautiful in that style that it challenged not the criticism, but the admiration of the hearers. Mr. Rimmer illus trated his subject by well-executed diagrams, and re ferred (amongst other instances) to several of the Gothic edifices in this town and neighbourhood. An interesting evening. Mrs. discussion followed, in which Dr. Hume, Mr. WaldY, Mr. Pidgeon, and others took part, and a vote of thanks was passed to the young gentleman who Mrs. Ellen Silverwood, so long known in contributed to the intellectual treat oi f il t u h b e i a l e i d o v u e s°l : B i t i has opened an excellent chop-house Elbow -lane, See ado, INCREASE OF POOR-LAW EXPENDITURE IN LIVERPOOL FOR 1847 We gave, a fortnight ago, a summary of the expenditure in the relief of the poor in Manchester in the year ended 31st December, 1847, as compared with that of 1846, shewing a large increase We have it this week in our power to give a similar statement as to the expenditure in Liverpool, which, however, only embraces the accounts made up to the 25th of September in each year. We give the amounts for the two years in juxta-position : Year ended 25th September, 1846. 1847. Out-door relief In-door relief 12,647 22,673 Registration.... 1,053 1,422 Vaccination 417 459 Interest. 1,096 1,115 Medicine.. _ We have thus had, under the head of out-door relief, an increase of nearly £26,000 in a total sum of .f..a2,296 for the year ; whilst in Manchester the increase was £33,000 out of a total for the year of £48,321 ; and this notwith standing the fact of Liverpool being the gate, as it were, of pauper immigration from Ireland. The in-door relief is increased above £lO,OOO over the amount paid in 184&; and this includes the lazarettoes and fever sheds. The former of these—the lazarettoes—cost £4228, and the sheds £2962, together £7190, exclusive of salaries. The cost of medicine, which has been doubled, shews the sad increase of disease which has prevailed amongst our poor. With respect to the rates which will have to be called for to meet the expenditure of the ensuing year, we are not in a position to speak. The rateable value of the property of the parish is, however, £1,068,000, a shilling rate upon which will produce, if fully paid up, about £53.000 per annum. It is, however, never fully collected. We had last year a three shilling rate ; and we have had fears entertained of a supplementary rate. We believe, however, that these fears are groundless. The practice has been in Liverpool, of late, to lay a rate in November. It was subsequently brought down to September ; and last year it was laid in May. This year, we understand, it will be laid early in April, so as to be collected with the Government and other taxes. We shall, therefore, have no supplementary rate ; but we shall be called upon to pay a little earlier. In fact, we may consider that in the course of the last two or three years, the clock has been put forward ; and six months' extra rates will virtually be made " due on demand." THE MASTER COOPERS AND DOCK WAREHOUSES, A Meeting of the Master Coopers was held yesterday, at the Clarendon Rooms, for the purpose of taking. into consideration the best means of opposing the present system of working Dock Warehouses, and to prevent its further extension. Mr. T. Wignall took the . Chair; and the following Memorial, which will be presented to the Council to-day, was unanimously agreed to : " TO THE MAYOR. AND TOWN COUNCIL OF LIVERPOOL. " The Memorial of the Master Coopers of Liverpool, " HUMBLY MIEWETH, _ _ " That your Petitioners are alarmed to observe that ib is again proposed to bring before you the Dock Extension Bill, against which they have already Memorialised your Honourable Council, and which you have twice rejected. "That your Petitioners, who represent one of the most important Trades of the Port, have of late been seriously injured by a regulation of the Dock Committee, by which they are excluded from pursuing their business, and Coopering Casks or Cases, on board any ship discharging or lying within the Albert Dock, or on the Quays, or in the Warehouses surrounding them. " That by such regulation the Dock Committee, con stituting a public body, exercise themselves a large busi ness, in which the Coopers and other Tradesmen of the Port are not allowed to participate. " That your Petitioners occupy large, central, and extensive premises, for which they are heavily rated, whilst the Dock Committee, who now claim to monopo lise their business, propose to pay none for the Ware houses applied for in their intended Act ; and that, moreover, your Petitioners, trusting in their ability still to carry on their business, and in the fairness of your Honourable Council, have taken apprentices whom they have to instruct thoroughly in the Trade, which they will be in a great measure prevented from doing,,in one of its most important branches-, if the exclusion referred to be persisted in. " That your Petitioners are ready to meet any fair com petition ; and to prove by their charges that the interests of the Merchants would be promoted, and by. the conduct of themselves and their servants, that the working of the Dock and its Warehouses would not be hindered, by their being permitted to compete for a fair share of the busi ness of the Port. " That your Petitioners therefore pray that you will appoint a Committee to inquire into the grievances com plained of, and their effect both upon the Master Coopers and the Merchant and Shipowner, and to hear a deputa tions from their body upon the subject; and that, in the mean time, you will suspend , you sanction to any further extension of the Dock Warehouse principle, which, by such unjust restriction, is capable of being made to damage so seriously the Tradesmen of the Port." We think the prayer of this respectful petition is en titled to great consideration. LIVERPOOL. BANKING COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Old bacon has been also in request. The market for butter is firm ; and cheese is ready of sale at good prices. The usual fortnightly sale of provisions took place on Friday, at the Commercial Sale-room in Temple court, the brokers selling being Messrs. Wm.. Gardner and Co., and Messrs. George Badenach and Co., and was well attended. A quantity of fine bladdered American lard was offered, but withdrawn for an advance, after one lot being knocked down at 625. 6d. Butter was in good demand at advancing prices. A few lots of bacon were sold, the bulk offered being held for higher prices. Sbme of Gillmore's now long middles were bought at 51s. to 51s. 6d.; and 700 loose hams (Duffield's), were knocked down at 28s.

(BY EXPRESS.) OVERLAND MAIL FROM CALCUTTA (From the Second Edition of the Morning Herald.) We have received by Eitraordinary Express our files of papers and private correspondence, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, from Bombay, of Dec.ls ; Calcutta, Dec. 7; and China, Nov. 28. The reason of the late arrival of this mail is explained by our Malta correspondent in the following terms :—" My last , dispatch was by the Vol cano, on the 12th inst. The•day following her departure it Mew a fresh breeze, which subsequently became a hur ricane. On the 15th the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steamer Indus, which left Malta on the 13th. put back ; and on the 15th the Volcano, with that portion of the India mail sent through France, returned to port with damage. The Hecate is to proceed with the mails when the weather moderates." The most important news brought by this conveyance is that supplied from Calcutta, which represents the truly disastrous effects of the late commercial embarrassments in London upon the mercantile community in that presi-. dency. Nine highly respectable firms had been compelled to suspend payment, and it was impossible to calculate bow far the serious consequences of these failures would extend. "Credit and confidence , " says the Bengal Bur karu Price Current, " were at once annihil a t e d, and busi ness in every branch reduced: to cash transactions. The acceptances of no European house could be discounted in the bazaar." The firms suspended in Calcutta were Messrs. Saunders, May, Fordyce, and Co., Cockerell and Co., Lyall, Mathe son and Co., Church, Lake, and Co. ' Lake, Ham mill, and Co., Shearman, Mullens, and Co., Hughesdon Brs., and CO., and Ewing, Aird, and Anderson. It was publicly stated that Smith, Cowell, and Co., had also stopped payment ; but it was subsequently announced that they had resumed business, and at a meeting of creditors held since that time, it was resolved that the house be allowed to carry on business under inpectors then i. 4 3- pointed. The intelligence from Bombay is of unpolitical impor tance. The Punjaub and Scinde were tranquil. Lord Hardinge was expected to leave Calcutta early in this month (January). Commercial matters had assumed a more healthy aspect, with an appearance of a gradual im provement. The accounts from China are entirely of a peaceful na turv--; -and the feeling of the people of that orapiratowarde the English authorities is evidently partaking of a more pacific character. His Excellency Sir John Francis Davis had returned to Hong Kong from his mission to the coast of Cochin China, where he had gone for the purpose of accomplishing some commercial arrangements. Trade was in a very depressed condition, and prices had gene rally declined. LONDON CORN MARKET.-.YESTERDAY Jan. 25,1848. CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER. On Sunday morning the Rev. James Prince Lee, D.D., was consecrated Bishop of Manchester by the Archbishop of York. This office was performed in the Chapel Royal, Whitehall, which was crowded by a very large and res pectable congregation. At eleven o'clock the bishop's procession entered the chapel, comprising the Bishop of Chester, the Bishop of Winchester, the Archbishop of York, &c. The archbishop and bishops proceeded to the communion table, and the rest of the party were accom modated with seats near it. Morning prayer being ended, the Archbishop began the communion service. The Bishop of Worcester read " for the Epistle " the appointed portion of Acts xx. ; and the Bishop of Chester read the gospel. Then the Nicene Creed having been read, the Rev. Garbett ascended the pulpit and preached the sermon, taking for his text Acts 47,—" The Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." The rev. gentleman began by remarking, that the ori ginal epithet rendered " church " was one of the com monest use, and was adopted by the sacred writers to ex press the aggregate mass of Christians, i. e., of individual persons who in successive generations should be called forth out of the world, by the preaching of the Gospel,, to obtain salvation through faith in Christ. This - chapter was a history of the first formation of that body; And the particular text literally rendered would be—" The Lord added them that were saved daily to the church ;" the statement being, not that they were added to the church in order that they should be saved, but that, being saved, they were added to the church ; their salvation was not the consequence of their union with the• church, but their union with the . church was the consequence of their salva tion. • The sermon being ended, the elected Bishop, vested with his rochet, was presented to the Archbishopby the Bishops of Chester and 'Worcester, the Archbishop sitting in his chair near the holy table. It was understood that Mr. Gutteridge•went into the vestry before the service began, and handed to the Arch bishop a protest against the consecration of Dr. Lee. It was said that his Grace immediately put the document in the fire. Typhus fever in a malignant form is very prevalent in Ulverston, and particularly in the union workhouse there. On Saturday morning afire broke out in Burlington Ar cade, London by which five houses were destroyed, and several others much damage& A great part of the extensive cotton-mills of Messrs. Dennistoun and Co., at Stanley, near Perth, have been destroyed by fire. The Earl Grosvenor and Mr; Baring are making trtour in Italy. His lordship, by the last letters, had arrived , at Rome. Lord and Lady Stanley left the Earl of Derby'si.ort Wednesday, on a brief visiting tour, previous to going to. town, The packet-ship, Siddons, arrived on Saturday from New York, brings £20,000 specie on freight. She left ow the 2d inst. The Columbia and , Anglo-American wills shortly be due from New York and Boston respectively-- the former with specie, probably. STATE OP LIMERICK.—The special commission re-• mined its sitting on Thursday. Besides the cases already , tried, 28 persons stand charged with the dreadful crime of murder. The usual number of prisoners in the _gaol at this period of the year, is 130, but at the present time there are upwards of 400 ! Loss OF THE ARGO, OF CAERNARVON.—A dispatch has been received at Lloyd's, from , the Foreign 'Office, enclosing copy of letters received by Lord Palmerston, from here Majesty's cgnsul at the Cape de Verds, which reports the wreck of the Argo, Roberts, of Caernarvon, from Liverpool to Monte Video, coalladen. She struck upon a sunken rock, off the island of Maya, and after wards drifted on to the mainland.—Crew saved. BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET. — Saturday, Jan. 22.—There has been a general and extensive demand for all kinds of British plantation sugars this week, the sales amount ing to 400 hhds. and 6000 bag s of Mauritius, principally to the refiners, and the maret closed firmly at an ad vance of 11i. per cwt. above the prices current this day week. The arrivals have been in the Cassiopea, from the Mauritius, 7500 mats of sugar ; in the Laurie, 5113 mats and 252 casks of sugar and 11 tanks of molasses ; from Liverpool, 50 hhds. of sugar. LAUNCH , ov THE LLENVELLYN.—The fourth of the neW steam-vessels designed for the Admiralty packet service, to run between Holyhead and Dublin, was launched on Saturday, at Blackwall, from the building•yard and steam engine manufactory of Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co. The Llewellyn is 190 feet long, 26 feet 7 inches broad, and 15 feet deep, 643 32-94ths tons burden. The diameter of the cylinders of her engine is 68> inches, and the length of the stroke 6 feet ; collective horse-power, 350. Compared with her's the Banshee's cylinders are 72 inches in diameter, and her length of stroke 5 feet. THE SPECHAL COMMISSION. — MichaeI M`Mahon, 30 years of age, was indicted for having conspired with others, at Claremont, county Clare, on the 3rd of Dec., 1847, to kill and murder Matthew Bolland ; and also for soliciting one John Parry to shoot the said Bollan4. Evi dence was taken ' and the jury convicted the prisoner of the conspiracy, but acquitted him of the solicitation to murder. He was sentenced to be executed. On Wednes day, John Crowe, the man who was convicted for con spiring, with two convicts, Patrick Ryan (Small), Win- Ryan (Puck), James Hayes, and others, to murder the late Mr. James Watson, of Ballycorney, having been placed at the har, the Chief Baron pronounced the ex treme penalty of the law, naming the 19th. of February for his execution. On Thursday, James Skeehan was convicted of the murder of Mr. Ralph Hilton, on tale 180 of Nov.. at. Ratbard, near - Lincefftk. The murder took place in the course of resisting a distress for non-payment of rent. On the following day another convictidn took place, for a murder of unusual atrocity.
