Another source from which government would be enabled to pro- might 1. feet it self frOm the effect of the primary outlay, would be the largely increased revenue which would be produced by the sale of colonial lands, which ievenue would begin from the moment that it was lcuown in the colonies that supplies of labour were A large portion of the emigrants assisted )übt consist of the redundant fami ;o agricultu &Pendent for half their out would no support upon the rates; nent disposal of these in a land labour would be eagerly welcomed, mine, be so far a boon as to render with the government for the gradual _ outlay, a matter perfectly may. Further facilities for the advancement of the abject in view might be found if earnestly sought for. What, for instance, need interfere to prevent some of our large ships of war, at present lying idle in our dock yards, from discharging their guns and ammunition, and taking out a thousand passengers each, by the adult males of which, with a proper complement of officers, and half, or even third of a crew, they could be efficiently navigated ? The machinery, however, of such a measure is a minor matter, not worthy of being dwelt upon. A committee oehalf a dozen practical statesmen could settle the whole in a single sitting. The recogni tion of the broad principle of the question is all that . we contend for. And we contend for it on ether and far higher grounds than thoie to which we have already adverted. We repeat, as we set out with stating, that we see, in the position of great Britain towards her distant colonies, a direct calling of Providence to undertake the greatest mission to which a Christian nation can be sum moned—a mission, too, which she alone, of all the nations of the earth is capable of fulfilling. The Almighty, in his goodness, and ,for his own high purposes, has intrusted to her care, in the distant aittipodes, vast territories, upon whose soil and - uried and 'genial climate he has bestowed his a fev doing ti on the evidenc that sch )y the ( and go into d specifications me al Is of t will be t D receive iect to UOl - 11. 1 and con- th.

These may possibly be as near the truth as most estimates for great works of the kind are. It is on other, and far more important ground that a pause in the headlong career of the Council is called for. The production and verifica tions of the working drawings, nay, the actual letting of the whole contracts within Mr. Hawks ley's estimates—will not satisfy the public mind. We are not as yet sufficiently assured of the fact that it is necessary to go to Rivington for water, or or that we shall get it if we do go. The fact has as yet to be tested by experience—by actual boring— whether or not by sinking more and deeper wells we shall not find ourselves in possession of abun dance. Mr. Hawksley's working drawings will prove nothing as to the amount of compensation which may be extracted from us,by the bleachers and printers in the Pike district, for compensation, &c., under the various clauses of the act of parliament referred to in the able speech of Mr. Josias Booker. They will prove nothing as to the correctness of Mr. Hawksley's estimate of the rain-fall of the district, or of any other thing connected with the scheme, beyond the fact that a certain number of miles of piping, a certain number of roads bridges, aqueducts, and other works can he constructed for an original outlay, of a certain amount of money. That the works so to be constructed will be pro ductive of profit or loss to the projectors they thing at all about. _ prove not It has been urged, in reply to those who now ask for time to examine and inquire into the question, that all these points have been fully discussed, before a Committee of the House of Commons and the Commissioner sent down to Liverpool to make investigations on the spot ; and that, if the public have not been attentive to the evidence, they ought to have been. We may, however, recal to memory, that on the first origination of this and other rival schemes the public were in almost a fever heat on the subject of water, anxious to have it at any cost, and from wbereever it could be got. Men in such a state of mind are not always very prudent; do not always look before they leap. Besides, a new state of things has arisen within the last two years. We cannot afford to ride a hobby at so high a charge as we could have done two years ago: shewn to be—by the aid of the additional Green lane works, and more liberal management of the old companies—a kind of bugbear which will not be in a position to bite severely for a few years to come. Moreover, we find public men changing their minds upon this very subject—men of large experience in local matters, and men of great engi neering and geological skill—and why may not we, who acknowledge to have allowed ourselves to be committed and bound down by an act of parlia ment, without having taken the trouble of forming an opinion at all ? We can remember, for instance, that, two or three years ago, Mr. Hawksley, at that time engaged in opposing a Corporation scheme, declared in evidence that Corporations were the worst people in the world to have anything to do with water supply ; and that their management was al ways more expensive than that of private Companies —(we can give his exact language from the short hand writer's notes if required); but does Mr. Hawksley say anything of this kind now? Of course not. He has changed his opinion. We can remember a letter too, addressed to Mr. Harmood Banner, during the enquiry for the purchase of the Harrington and Bootle Company's Works, in the following extract from which we find nothing indi cating any suspicion on the part of the writer in the deficiency of the red sand stone supply of Liverpool : " When we erected our new premises in Benson-street, we put down a 50-horse engine, and to supply that, and our general establishment, we sunk a well. This well is just 400 yards distant from your well in Hotham-street. At eighty feet from the surface we found plenty of water. The bottom of the lodge is 114 feet from the surface, and such was the rush of water that it required all the force of the engine, night and day, with an 11-inch pump, to enable us to excavate our lodge. The entire cost of sink ing this well was £232. Our consumption is very great; supplying a 50-horse condensing engine, and thirty horses with water, together with mortar mills, the dwelling houses, smithies, and workshops, and keeping immense tanks and cisterns constantly full, and yet we discharge every twelve hours 80,000 gallons of pure water into the public sewers, for which we have no use ! And this is daily occurring close to a double row of cottages inhabited by working men who are, no doubt, paying for their water. So plentiful is our supply, that on one occasion, working the engine at full speed from three in the morn ing till nine at night, we only lowered the water seventeen feet, leaving seventeen feet of water in the chamber; and beyond this we could not reduce it. I never heard that our well, so close to yours, at all diminished your supply; and, pump as much as you. please, I have no fear of your injuring us. Now if I add the cost of the pump, the cost of an engine to raise 1,500 tuns a-day, with men's wages, wear and tear, &c., it will not cost quite one penny per tun to raise the water, and let it not be forgotten that water is not an article of manufacture, but merely requires an excavation, and a pump to raise it to the surface. Yet. if I recollect rightly, your charge to the Commissioners is fourpence per tun. lam borne out in my calculation by Mr. Wicksteed, the engineer of the East London Water Works Company, who gives in the Sanatory Report, vol. 2, page 12, a detailed estimate of the cost of raising 1,000 gallons of water 100 feet high ; and which he asserts is less than one halfpenny per 1,000 gallons. You will therefore believe that my penny against .. your fourpe,nce is a sufficiently liberal calculation ---- - - When we find such opinions operating in the mind of such a man as our excellent townsman, Mr. Samuel Holme, so very recently as two years ago, and that gentleman now one of the most eloquent supporters of the Rivington scheme, as evinced by his able speech at the meeting on Wednesday, we say that the public has a full right to have time to sift thoroughly the evidence and weigh the new facts, which have brought about changes so sudden and so signal. We must confess that we. have little expectation of producing any effect by the ordinary measures hitherto used by the constituencies to procure a postponement of further proceedings with respect to this measure. Individual remonstrances with the representatives have failed to move them. Ward meetings havebeen held with similar want of effect. The last resource must at length he tried. His worship the Mayor must be solicited to call a town's meeting, at which the sentiments of the public can be fairly tested. If those sentiments are averse to the further progress of the scheme at present, we have only the hustings in November to appeal to. The demonstration which a town's meeting would call forth could not, however, we think, be set at defiance, and would spare us the ungracious task of opposing old and tried friends, who, perhaps, have only offended us upon this question. At a meeting of the Court of Examiners, held on Fri.. day, Mr. John Sinclair, of this town, was admitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. SERIOUS FALLING OFF IN OUR EXPORTS TO BRAZIL AND CUBA It was predicted that one result of our free trade policy towards these countries would be a large increase of our exports to them of manufactured goods, if in the first nineteen months following the Sugar Act of 1846 there was an increase over the corresponding months antece dent of £455,381 of nominal value. It was stated, how ever, in committee of the House of Commons, by a Liverpool merchant, engaged in the Brazilian trade, on the authority of his captain, for twenty years in the habit of going to Rio Janeiro, " that he had never in his life een in Rio Janeiro such a quantity of goods as there he thought there must be enough to last them " This evidence has been proved to be in the ex- ports during the first four months of the present year. plain calicoes" we sent to the Brazils in the first four months of 347, 25,153,708 yards, and this year only Of printed calicoes, we sent in 1847, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. nst this decrease there was a slight increase to being plain calicoes, 1847, 955,066 s; printed calicoes, 1847, , 1,140,278 yar 30 yards, against 1,283,547 in 1848 The aggregate 12,369,043 yards of plain calicoes, and 10,514,073 yards of calicoes, or one- Ile exports of each article A FACT FOR THE PSEUDO-HUMANE ON THE OLD SLAVERY QUESTION. In a pamphlet just published by Mr. Jacob Omnium, a gentleman well informed on West Indian affairs, a fact , and the authority for it is given, which ought to be regarded with attention by that class of free-traders ly, whose quondam horror of slavery and the slave of late, as noticed by Dr. MilsTeile on Tuesday, is stated so mysteriously vanished. We quote the paragraph con taining the fact in question :—" In 1828 the British West Indian slave colonies, not however importing slaves,"-- mark that circumstance, gentlemen of the Society of Friends !—" produced 198,000 tons of sugar. Cuba and Brazil importing annually, according to the accurate and well-informed Mr. Bandinel, (first Report of Mr. Hutt's Committee on the Slave Trade, p. 220,) 94,000 negroes, but 93,000 tons." At that time, the paragraph goes on to say that the West Indians were able, in addition to supplying the home market, to have a surplus for Europe. Now, what in 1828 must have been the nature of the in stitution since put down—slavery under British laws—as compared with the slavery of Cuba and the Brazils, from whom we are now receiving our slave-grown sugar ? Without importing an additional slave, we could in 1828 supply ourselves and a portion of the world besides. Our hands were clear at least of the sin of man-stealing. Ours, too, must have been a mild sort of slavery —one under which human life was fostered—one under which it was not necessary to wear down our poor toilers to a premature grave. But to enable Cuba and the Brazils to produce 93,000 tons of sugar, with other produce of course —and we too raised other sorts—it required an annual importation of 94,030 negroes—one human being, and a fraction, for each ton of sugar ! We make no comment. LIVERPOOL THE FIRST PORT IN THE WORLD , We take the following figures, showing the increase of the business of Liverpool over that of London, from the excellent circular of Messrs. Stitt, Day and Co. They have been gathered from parliamentary returns : TOTAL CLEARANCES OUTWARDS OF EACH PORT DURING 184.7 LIVERPOOL LONDON. Tons. Ships. Tons. 771,857.... 2664.... 656,500 548,289.... 892.... 156,448 With cargoes, 2598 British ships, 1409 Foreign do..

It will be noticed that the total amount of tonnage cleared from Liverpool exceeds that of London, our metropolitan city. 'This must Messrs M'Clcllan and Lee, of Price-street, have pre sented to the Industrial Sc lo°ls a costly and richly_ executed banner. Air. A. Wilson, son of the Rev. A. Wilson, of the Scotch Church, Rodney-street, was in the first class at Trinity College, Cambridge. He obtained the University Exhibition at the Collegiate Institution last year. Tun HISTORIC SOCIETY.—The inauguration of this society will take place this day at the Collegiate Institu tion, His Worship the Mayor in the chair, when it is hoped all lovers of archceology will enrol themselves as members. Lancashire and Cheshire are very rich in an- into. and we anticipate great good will result from the working manner in which this society is about to carry out its intentions—that of thoroughly investigating all the British Roman and midiceval remains, &c., and publishing the results of its labours. Already the society has had several valuable presents ; and the exhibition of antiqui ties and historical documents, which will be laid before the society at its meeting this evening, will continue open for the inspection of the public, gratis, the whole of to morrow (Wednesday). UNLAWFULLY SIGNING A LUNACY CERTIFICATE.— J. Arthur, a surgeon, was indicted, on Friday, in Lon don, for having unlawfully signed a certificate.—Mr. Bod kin appeared to prosecute, at the instance of the Com missioners of Lunacy. The prisoner signed the certifi cate in question, not from any corrupt motive, but as an act of kindness to a man whose wife had been for some time a confirmed lunatic. The certificate averred that he had seen her the same day, and that she was a lunatic; but the defendant had not seen her that morning. The lunatic's husband was anxious to have her removed to a private lunatic asylum, and he asked Mr. Arthur as a fa vour, to sign the certificate, a favour he very imprudently granted. The commissioners did not press for punish ment. —The defendant pleaded guilty.—Mr. Baron Rolfe said he was very glad that the commissioners had insti tuted this prosecution, for it was fraught with consider able public importance. He should order the defendant to pay a fine of 20s. ; but if any similar case came before the court after this public example the result would be very different. The defendant paid the fine, and was liberated. MR. REEVES.—In presenting the following condensed extract from onr contemporary, the Albion, of the 22nd ult., we would remind our readers that the subject of it, confessedly the bset English tenor singer of the present day, appears at the Grand Concert of the Roscoe Club, at the Theatre Royal, on Monday next. The long popularity of Mr. Reeves, in Liverpool, before he attained the national and European celebrity he now enjoys, renders his debut, as primo tenore of her Majesty's Theatre, a circumstance of no little interest to the early admirers of his genius. A. triumph more complete and unequivocal, in every pos sible sense of the term, no tenor within memory, on any stage, ever accomplished than he has done to-night; and, in modern times at all events, it is paralleled only by his own success on his recent first appearance at Drury-lane. . The part he chose, or rather that was chosen for to suit the long-announced soprana, Madame Tadolini, was Carlo, in Linda di Chamouni—a character of indifferent importance, as compared with many others in his rate— Edgardo, for instance, in the Lucia—but one which he invested with an effectiveness never imparted to it, either vocally or dramatically, by any other representative. His reception was of the most animated kind imaginable, and every instant he was on the stage contributed to augment the feeling, till partiality became enthusiasm, and en thusiasm vented itself into plaudits and acclamations seldom indeed manifested towards any one, and probably never before in the same degree, within these walls, in behalf of a native artist. We observe, from the pro gramme of the forthcoming Concert, that two of the pieces are from the opera in question. One of these is a duet, in which our favourite, Miss Birch, takes the other part, and in which, at her Majesty's theatre, Reeves and Tadolini received a rapturous, and even double encore. The programme, as a whole, manifests much taste and judgment, the selections are exceedingly attractive, and the combination of vocal and instrumentel talent is of so high an order, that we a ugur one o f t h e fullest and most fashionable audiences ever beheld at our theatre. OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES--GILD ING GOLD DUST.—Yesterday, at the P o li ce - cour t, a young man who had g i ven his name to be John Ogden, was charged by Mr. Levi, of Paradise-street, with having obtained from him a sum of mo ne y un d er false pretence. It appeared that the prisoner had taken to the complain and a quantity of metallic substance representing "gold" ant that notwithstanding the acutene ss o f t h e two parties with whom he had dealt, (both Jews) they were taken in, and found that "it is not all gold that glitters." Mr. Levi said that the prisoner had, a day or two ago, called upon him, and offered him for sale, a quantity of gold filings, or. gold turnings— (shavings we suppose)--and pushed his bargain so strongly, that he was induced to be a purchaser. The vendor asked 50s. an ounce for the material, and com plainant gave him 455. and a gold rin g , t o make up the balance, thinking himself quite safe, and secure of a handsome profit. Mr. Marks, another gentleman of the Jewish persuasion, was, it appeared in evid ence , after wards honoured by a friendly visit, by the same specula tor, and also purchased a quantity of the s ame "d ross, " which had a very bright and captivating appearance-- albeit the descendant of Moses did not discover the cheat. The representation was, that the gold was just imported from China. A third party, named Healy, a gold refiner, also purchased some of the lot, and afterwards found that it was not the genuine metal. It appeared that th e com plainants had tested the metalin the usual way by acids, and being scarcely satisfied that it was " sterlin g ," h a d expressed a doubt. The prisoner, it was admitted by one of them, had told him that he was commissioned to sell for gold, whether it was gold or not. It was sworn to by one of the parties deceived, that there was only half-a grain to the drachm, or 10 grains to the ounce, of pure gold in the composition ; but it was so cunningly wrapped up in real gilding, that the deception was not detected in the first tests. The stuff was a composition of gold size, blended with some mineral substance, and so gilded over with real gold, that the acid applied to test it did not im mediately disclose the deceit. The prisoner was coin mined for trial. PUBLIC MEETING ON REFORM. Yesterday evening a meeting took place at the Portico, to consider the propriety of petitioning the House of Com mons, in support of Mr. Flume's motion, for the adoption of " extended household suffrage, equal electoral districts, vote by ballot, and triennial parliaments." The placard convening the meeting was signed, on behalf of the com mittee, by Lawrence Heyworth, Esq., and seven other gentlemen of standing in the town. The room was filled, as was the stage, and the greatest unanimity prevailed for some time. Mr. CHARLES EDWARD RAWLINS was called to the chair, and in his opening address, said that he most cordially agreed with Mr. Hume in putting off the debate on his motion until it could be fairly heard and appreciated. He (the speaker) would have preferred a measure of larger extent ; he wished, in fact, to have the full extent of " manhood suffrage." He thought this was due to every mand of sound mind. and unconvicted of crime, and that all such ought to have a vote in the election of their representatives. Annual parliaments might be too short, and seven years was too long, but he was inclined to give support to Mr. Hume's motion so far as it went, until they could obtain all they required, " manhood suffrage." Mr. JonN SMITH, of the Mercury-office, after an argumentative address, moved the first resolution. He was of opinion that not only housekeepers, but lodgers, should be possessed of the elective franchise. Mr. ROBINSON (stated to be a working man) seconded the resolution in a spirited address, which was listened to with much attention and applause. He noticed the extravagant expenditure of the Government,—the pen sions, royal palaces, sinecures, over-paid churchmen, patronage, &c., which deprived the people of their due share in the representation. Out of six hundred members in the House of Commons, 423 were influenced by interested motives. He enlarged upon the injustice and extravagance of the Government and the Royal Family, without, however, blaming our gracious Queen, for whom he claimed all due respect. They asked for reform constitutionally, and gradually. It was for them to tell Lord John Russell that they had a will of their own, and that they might yet achieve universal suf frage. He prognosticated much from the mind and pro gression of the people, and urged peaceable and moral force to accomplish all they desired. Mr. WILLIAM RUSIIIO,.N spoke in favour of moral re form. He observed upon the present extravagance of the Government, who spent about sixty millions a year—a larger amount than ever before was known. This was not a reform, and they people would have no `more of it. An allusion made to the obtaining the whole of the charter, was received with loud cheers. The free traders had had their turn, and now was the time for the Chartists to have theirs. He believed that if the wealthy wished to enjoy their substance in peace and quietness, they must exert themselves in doing justice to the industrial classes. He contended that no good could be effected without a reduction of the taxazion. The motion was put and carried by loud acclamation— not a dissentient hand held up. Mr. FERRAR moved the second resolution, in a lengthy address. He knew not the points of the Charter, but be believed that every man untainted by crime ought to have a voice in the choice of their representa tives. (Cheers.) He had looked forward for something good from the present parliament, but he was disappointed. In the reign of Tiberius, several of his subjects in the provinces, it was thought by his ministers, might be taxed a little more, His noble reply was, "It is the property of a good shepherd to shear his sheep, not to s ki n the m . ' He read an extract from a letter which he had intended to send to Lord John Russell before the recent revolution in France, and which embodied, in strong language, the rights of free-born Englishmen, and urging a reverting to first principles, and a freedom from the burthen of the national debt. • The petition was read by Mr. JACKSON, and was unani mously adopted. It Was agreed that it should be presented by Joseph Hume, Esq. _ After some other remarks, by various speakers, a young man, (from Manchester,) apparently about eighteen years of age, presented himself on the platform, with a greasy card in his hand, and began, with grea t self-possession, to preach about the six points of Chartism. He was called to order by the Chairman, but the meeting seemed to be strongly inclined to listen to him, and some confusion arose. The Chairman said, with a view to conciliation, that the meeting, though called for a specific subject, would, no doubt, hear the gentleman at the proper time, after the resolution was seconded. Mr. L. HEY WORTH seconded the resolution. A purely Chartist amendment was moved by the well known Jones, who, amidst several attempts to interrupt him, advocated the six points, in opposition to the ori ginal motion ; and another Mr. Jones rose to second the amendment, when Mr. Thomas Bolton rose to order, and contended that - - t could ' T' no amendmen ue put. _ meet ing became uproarious, and the seconder proceeded ; and from his prolixity we were compelled to leave. There seemed little doubt that the pure Chartists would have the majority. The demi-Chartists on the platform seemed throughout not a little put out by the false position in which they had placed themselves. To enable our readers to judge of the strength of the two parties when put together, we ascertained that whilst the Reformers (?) Chartist and demi-Chartist put together,—only filled the little Portico, the Sparring-match in the Music-hall, close by, for the benefit of the Tipton Slasher, was a bumper. that "the House of Commons does not truly represent the people," and that " the motion of Mr. Hume is to be regarded as an important practical advance towards the lull, free, and fair representation of the people." The petition prayed that every male hotheholder in the kingdom may have the right of voting for members of parliament, with the protection of the ballot, and that members of parliament may be returned from equitably adjusted electoral districts throughout the country, and for a period not exceeding three years." FEELING IN LIVERPOOL TOWARDS THE MINISTERIAL SUGAR BILL. We never remember observing, during our acquaintance with this port, so unequivocal a feeling of general con demnation as that which has been bestowed upon the sugar measure of Lord John Russell, received here on Saturday morning. A slight hope had been entertained by some parties, excited by the tone of several recent articles upon the subject in the London Times, that at length something approaching fair play was about to be shown to our free-labour colonists. Tbis previous hone has increased the disappointment which is now felt ; and the only plank to which they have to cling is the proba bility of the ministry failing to carry their project through the house. The slight modification made in the duty as to clayed sugar and foreign Muscovado is by some con sidered as an improvement, though not of material value; but the other changes are scouted as a mockery and an insult. Of course some of our ultra free traders condemn Lord John as having gone too far in the trifling step which he has made. Moderate men, however, even of that party, are not unwilling to acknowledge the peculiar case of the colonists and their claim to be placed in a just attitude. By those irarnediately interested in the sugar question, a protective duty even of 10s. is not thought to hold out any great encouragement to renewed enterprise, without being accompanied by a material change in the system of colonial policy, as well as the certainty of a continuous supply of labour. They complain of the inefficiency of the laws for preventing vagrancy and squatting by the free negro, and the perfect impunity with which he is per mitted, at his caprice, to leave his unfinished tasks and either idle or transfer his labour to another estate. With out a complete revision of the colonial law in this respect, by which the planter may be put upon the footing of other employers of labour, the most abundant supply of immigrants which could be afforded them would not save him. When neither this boon nor a fair protective duty is afforded, they conceive that to expend the offered £500,000, to be laid out in importing labourers, would be sheer insanity. The Times of yesterday says that in the city it is ad mitted, "on both sides," that the £500,000 " might as well be sunk in the sea." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) MONEY MARKET -YESTERDAY The English Funds have been rather firmer this morning, and there has been a steady business doing. Consols for the opening have been 83i to 832. The speeches delivered by the Ministers at the Mansion-house banquet, on Saturday, have afforded much satisfaction. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 812 to 84a. Bank Stock is quiet at 191. Exchequer-bi Is have been 375. to 41s. premium,tbeing scarcely so good. India Bonds are iss. to 19s. premium. LONDON CORN MARKET, YESTERDAY The demand for all kinds of Wheat' of home produce was steady, at an advance in the quotations realized on Monday last, of from Is. to 2s. per quarter, and at which a good clear ance was effected. The supply of foreign Wheat on show, not withstanding the liberal importation of that article last week, was by no means large. Selecteffparcels moved off steadily at 2s. per quarter more money, while the value of the middling and inferior kinds advanced quite Is. per quarter. A few float ing cargoes were disposed of at a trifle more money. Scarcely any English Barley was brought forward, but the show of foreign samples was very extensive. Fine parcels were in moderate re quest at late rates, but infeiior grinding sorts sold at in some instances, a fall of is. per qr. With Malt we were fairly supplied. Most descriptions moved off slowly, but we have no alteration to notice in value. Oats were in good supply. Fine sound Corn produced late currencies, but the damp and otherwise weathered parcels were quite 6d. per quarter cheaper, with a very inactive demand. A very large quantity of foreign Beans was brought forward, and which met a heavy inquiry, at a re duction in value of is. per qr. All kinds of Peas were in moderate supply, and moderate request at last week's prices. Indian Corn and Meal were neglected, but not cheaper. Flour was in better request, but we have no improvement to notice in its value. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY. Although the attendance of buyers was somewhat extensive, the Beef trade was excessively dull, at, in some instances, a further decline in the quotations of 2d. per 81bs. However, a few of the very primest Scots sold at 4s. per 81bs. At the close of business a large number of Beasts left the market unsold. Although the supply of Sheep was moderately extensive, the Mutton trade was steady, though not to say brisk, at prices fully equal o.u t t ( t i o t n hos r e o p d aid . o rr n Monday iod lLst,. s t s he w pai o n u e:taw c n ui ralts number of producing 4s. 4 1:y . no Means heavy for the time the e year. All breeds met a fair demand, at fully last week'sprices. Prime small Calves moved off freely, at full prices. Otherwise, the Veal trade was in a very sluggish state. Pigs sold heavily, at last week's currencies. It appears by letters received from Copenhagen, that the Danish authorities are proceeding with the con demnation of the German vessels laid under embargo, partial exception in some few cues being made in favour of cargoes. DEFENCE OF THE NAVIGATION LAWS Sir John Gladstone, in his 84th year, has dictated, from his bed, tobis son , the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., a long letter on the Navigation Laws. The venerable writer contends that the boasted principle of reciprocity cannot be worked out in this country. He says :—" We have very extensive colonies and foreign possessions (many of them earned at the cost of British blood and treasure, and thus considered to be achieved by conquest, though now, I lament to think, likely to be rendered valueless to us by the present measures of our rulers,) with which an intimate arid constant intercourse is main tained and carried on in British shipping, productive of important advantages to Britain and British ship-owners. If I understand you right, you propose to lay open this carrying trade to the shipping of other countries—for instance, to the United States. Now, it does happen that the United States possess neither colonies nor foreign possessions, and, therefore, have no such privilege to offer to us in return or to concede ; it, therefore, follows there can be no reciprocity in such a course of conduct, no quid pro quo, but all the advantages, whatever thdy may be, are to be given up by us without a consideration. You contend that, in such a case, our colonists have a choice , of conveyances, some of them, perhaps, on lower terms than by British shipping, are willing to adopt them, and would reap the advantage. If this principle is to be re cognised and acted upon, do you not at once lay the axe to the root of the tree out of which have grown the sources of our commerce, our wealth, and our maritime greatness ? By layinrthem open, you propose to abandon to others the sources which support the superiority we have hitherto possessed in our ships. our colonies, and commerce, the sources of envy and jealousy to other countries. You say that, if you do so, in return we shall confer advantages on our colonies; as, for instance, you suppose a German ship carries emigrants from Germany to Australia, and on her arrival there the colonists should have the power of loading their wool, or other produce, and through such a foreign channel conveying it to a British market. If such a concession were to be made, the benefit to the colonist would only be incidental and unimportant. But whilst the transport of their produce is restricted to British shipping, the certainty of their finding employment secures the necessary supply on which colonist may depend ; but if laid equally upon the foreigner, who. with such competition, can have no dependence on finding employment—thus, between the two stools,.whilst you propose to benefit the colonist, you risk his being left without the means of sending his wool to market. But this is only a secondary consideration. We have at great expense, established and settled our colonies ; we have given them privileges, protection, and admission to our markets of consumption for their pro duce 'on conditions advantageous to them—concessions all calculated to promote a union and intercourse alike beneficial to both, but which, under your propositions, are to be abandoned and thrown open to the world, — whilst that world, caring only for itself, makes no optional contribution in return towards raising our enormous revenue—defraying or providing for our sources of taxation, local and , general—supporting our sys tems, institutions, our habits of industry, labour, expenditure, and consumption. These are wholly local, and depend upon ourselves ; whilst you pro pose, with a hand of vast and liberal profusion, to lay open every source we possess, or advantage we enjoy, to the free and open competition of others, who, as far as can discover, while we are to part with substantial good, have nothing to give or even to offer to us in return. If I understand you right you are also disposed to lay open our coasting trade to the foreigner, which certainly, in many instances, would be not only gratuitous, but with out a pretence to reciprocity. The principle of reciprocity might be urged by the United States, if she proposed to us to admit British shipping to participate in carrying on their coasting trade, provided the same privilege were conceded by us to American shipping in the coasting trade of the United Kingdom. If such an uncalled for, un natural, and inconvenient concession, with a sacrifice of local feeling, was to be made, I can discover no serious advantage it would be productive of to the interests of either, whilst it would be found to prove a source of great jealousy and risk of misunderstanding. But come nearer home, and let us suppose that the excess of shipping be longing to the ports of Hamburgh and Bremen, built and fitted equally well with British shipping, though at a much lower cost, navigated and provisioned on more favourable terms, and now spread over the ocean, and advantageously employed in the commerce of the world, which seems rather a favourite object of yours—l say that if these bottoms from the opposite coast were to be employed in our coasting trade—let us suppose that great branch of it carrying the supply of coals from Newcastle and its neigh bourhood, to supply the consumption of fuel by near two millions of our population residing in London and its vicinity, employing many hundred sail of British ships, and many thousands of British seamen—suppose this trade laid equally open to the shipping of Hamburgh and Bre men what have they to give us in return ? I answer ,— nothing. literally nothing ; for they have neither coast nor coasting trade of any kind or description. Yet, i n this mania of liberality you, with others, appear disposed to make such vast and uncalled for sacrifices. You may say that what we give up is to be occupied by others, and that the general trade and commerce of the world is to be extended and increased by it. That may be true, but the concessions and sacrifices are to be ours—the gains and advantages are to be given to others, whilst this country, raised to power and eminence by the advantages of situ ation united with well-regulated liberality in our inter course with others, but with a due regard to our own in ' - "isdom of our laws and insti the affP; - if the unions, nas gamest a pre-eminence _ attairs o. world which these new-fangled doctrines and theories are calculated to undermine, and ultimately to break down and overthrow, but which I would fain hope, by hasten ing a change of both men and measures, may be pre served to us unchanged. * * * Once lay open our colonial possessions and coasting trade to the shipping and seamen of other powers, I ask, where is your boasted nursery that has hitherto manned your navy and pro tected your shores ? If they are to be laid open, and passed into the hands of foreigners, who, in place of being our friends, may prove to be our inveterate enemies, and if we shall fans be cultivating and promoting the means and engines for our future destruction, what then is to become of your justly-boasted wooden walls ?" EFFECT OF FREE TRADE MEASURES UPON OUR COFFEE-PLANTING COLONIES. It will be known to our commercial readers that up to 1836 the duties upon coffee were 6d. on West Indian, 9d. on East India and Ceylon, and ls. 3d. per lb. on foreign. In 1836 the duty on Ceylon Coffee was equalised with that upon West ladian ; in 1842, by Sir Robert Peel's famous tariff, the duty on foreign was reduced to Bd., and that on West Indian to 4d. ; and in 1844 a further reduction was made on foreign, which brings us down to the present scale of 4d. per lb. on British and 6d. on foreign. The effect of these several concessions to the foreigner may be traced from the following statement of the prices, in bond, of Ceylon coffee in the month of March in each year, beginning at 1838 :—ln the March of that year, the price per ton was £80; in 1839, £lO2 ; in 1840, £99 ; in 1841 (with free trade in perspective), £6l; in 1842, £7B; in 1843, £55 ; in 1844, £6B ; .n 1845, when a further di minution of protection was made, £46 ; in 1846, £46 ; in 1847, £43; and in March, this year, only £3O to £32. Some of the large houses which failed in the autumn of last year are declaring dividends. Reid, Irving, and Co., in announcing a first dividend of is in the pound, have issued a circular disclosing a further considerable reduc tion in their assets occasioned by depreciation in the West India and Mauritius estates, and the failure of their cor respondents, H. Adams and Co. Upon the revised estimates, 10s. in the pound, instead of 205., is the limit calculated. Barclay, Brothers' first dividend, is fixed at 2s. - 6d. in the pound. A second dividend is on the eve of declaration under the estate of Rougemont, Brothers, which will be from 2s. to 2s. 6d. in the pound. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—We have had ano ther week of fine feeding, but rather rainy weather; and the crops, both in field and garden are luxuriant and, on the whole, highly promising. Early potatoes are of large size, and from dry soils almost ripe and flowery. The wheats, generally, look well, though we regret to say that we have observed, in some fields in the neighbourhood, a decided appearance of smut,—which, however, we hope will not proceed far, especially if the weather takes up, and becomes dry and sunny. The oats this year are truly tha thick on the ground, the seed not perhaps being depended upon and sown too lavishly, having sprung up almost to the suffocation of the plant. The turnips and mangles,so far, give great promise, and the country, gene rally, never presented a more luxuriant clothing of ver dure. With regard to fruit, (a secondary consideration), we may say, from present appearances, that there will be much more than an average crop of apples, pears, currants, gooseberries, strawberries, &c. A good deal of hay-grass has already been cut ; hut owing to the repeated showers has not yet been gathered, and is in some degree: in jeopardy. That portion which is yet on its legs (perhaps two-thirds of the whole), will, we hope, be entirely secured. There is abundance of feed for cattle of all kinds, and the prospect is cheapness for the housekeeper. IDOLATRY OF CHEAPNESS.—" It is in the retributive justice of the Great Being who sways the universe," said the Rev. Dr. M`Neile, at Liverpool, on Tuesday last, "that an idol unduly worshipped shall be turned to the punishment of the idolaters; and if there be an idol ever unduly worshipped on the face of the earth, I believe that cheapness is that idol now, and that God will smite it, and cause the men who are worshipping it to buy dear." We recommend the words to the serious attention of Mr. Richard Cobden. That gentleman is evidently in danger of selling his soul to the fiend, if the bargain be not already contracted. The disclosures made by the hon. member for the West Riding in the House of Commons as recently as a week ago strike painfully on all well regulated minds. He lives to buy cheap. This is his mission. All men have their work to do in life. Old Chapman thought he might die when he had trans lated Homer. Schiller's heroine loved, and then prayed her Father to remove her from the earth. Mr. Cobden will have done his work, his very ignoble work, when he shall have brought his weekly expenses down to the lowest point hitherto attained by mortal stinginess. He tells us so himself. He hates every thing but buying cheap. lie cannot bear to hear men talking Rule Bri tannia : he grumbles when he sees a noble-hearted middy not four foot high clapping his hands and delighting him self with the thought of England's naval supremacy. He is only happy when he sees a bankrupt's stock advertised for sale, or when haberdashers announce their attention to dispose of. their goods fifty per cent. under cost price. Then he lives : at other times he is dead. High spirited gentleman ! Englishman thorough-bred to the backbone !—John Bull. Juin' 21; Sit THE LIVERPOOL MEETING ON THE SUGAR QUESTION The meeting of Tuesday last at the Sessions Houses upon the subject of Lord John Russell's proposed modifi cations of the Sugar Duties, resulted in another triumph of the intellect and prosperity of the town over that small but self-sufficient party who style themselves free traders; who arrogate to themselves the character of luminaries of the first class, and assume that all who disagree with them are immersed in the depths of ignorance. It was a de monstration of which Liverpool might well be proud, and from whose proceedings, orderly throughout, and full of ability, the parliament of Great Britain itself might with advantage take a lesson. Deeply interested in the subject before them as were many of the speakers opposed to the then existing law affecting our sugar colonies—one of life or death to some and of intense interest to others ; con taining amongst them, and having around them, the re presentatives of some of the oldest and most respectable firms in Liverpool, connected with our colonial trade, whilst the advocates of the application of a f ur ther measure of free trade to those colonies were composed, in part of rude theorists, and wholly of parties unconnected with, or having interests apart from their maintenance in, or rather their restoration to prosperity. We saw' no attempt to bear down the weight of the arguments adduced by clamour, on the one side, or the other; and still less by the influence and weight of authority which must ever attach to the opinions of such gentlemen as Mr. Shand, Mr. Adam Hodgson, Mr. Josias Booker, and others upon such a subject. The overwhelming majority, therefore, in favor of the whole of the resolutions must be considered on the part of colonial protection, must be set down as the result of pure con viction on the part of the meeting—as a declaration of the sentiments on the subject of a majority composing men of every shade of politics, establishing above all things the fact that, in the opinion of the commercial people of Liverpool, the question at issue as to the treat ment by the mother country towards her free labour sugar colonies i is one which cann o t an d oug ht no t to b e d ec id e d on purely free trade or politico-economical principles. There was another characteristic of the meeting on Tuesday, which contributed to establish the exception of this measure from the rule to be applied to other subjects. We refer to the fact that, amongst the most able of the speakers, and listened to with the deepest attention, never attempted, even by those amongst the adverse minority, upon whom their arguments appeared to tell with the greatest force, to be reproached with having descended from the exercise of their high functions to mingle in the strife of ordinary politics —were two clergymen of the Church of England, the Rev. Dr. M'Neile and the Rev. Thomas Nolan, A.M. The question involved in our treatment of our sugar-producing colonies was recognised as one involving the sacred rights of humanity, and 0 1 ' national faith and justice, as well as the merely selfish question of money and cheapness. In their hands it was elevated above these paltry considerations ; and it is signi ficant that the resolution moved by the Rev. Dr. M`Neile, affirming the adherence of the mee ing to the principles of " British Justice, British Consistency, and British. Honour," was carried by a great majority, and with greater enthusiasm than any other. • THE LIVERPOOL WAREHOUSING COMPANY• We noticed briefly in our last the object of this coin' pany, whose prospectus appears in our advertising columns this day; and we learn that during the week the plan proposed has been discussed in many influential quarters► and promises to meet with a large share of success. We have ourselves more maturely weighed it, and it really seems to us that nothing but some such measure can effectually protect the great mass of warehouse property throughout the town from serious deterioration. In parti cular we would direct the attention towards it of the owners of those warehouses, whose means and position do not admit of making large advances for the purposes of int" provement, and whose interests would be greatly served bl the proposed central management by the Company's officers, and the advantages of the improved machine*/ to be provided. The departure of the West Indian mail has been agai n postponed until to-morrow (Wednesday.) FATAL SQUABBLE.—On Friday last two men in the village of Greasby, near Upton, commenced a quarrel which, unfortunately, ended in a fight, during which one of them, named Evans, received so severe a blow on side, from his antagonist, that he died soon after. SINKING OF A PIER.—On Sunday, the Fire King, Gravesend steamer, came with such force against the City' steam pier, Temple-bar, that it forced the dummy against a pile, which entered its keel, when it filled with water, sank, and dragged down the whole pier with it. THE IRON TRADE OF SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. -This important branch of manufacture has been exceedingly dull during the past week. There are very few orders on hand, and nearly all now being made is for Stock. Throughout the district there are a great number of men unemployed, and many working only . half time upon re duced wages. MURDER IN WESTMEATU.—A travelling Connaught man, named John Cook, was brutally murdered, at Horseleaf, near Kilbeggan, on Thursday night. The ill fated man's head was smashed in pieces by blows with stones, supposed to have been thrown at him by his com rade or fellow-traveller. The plunder of a few shillings is supposed to have been the object of the m urder. NOVEL IMPORTATION.—The St. George, C a pt. Ferris, from New York, landed here on F r id a y l as t, 101 live h o le ) They were shipped at New York afte r travelling 1000 miles 990 of which they were driven.

After the manner in which the once great leader of the House of Commons was received, the other night, in th e scene of his former glory, it will be consolatory to his frien ds to read the following paragraph from a con tem p9rarY , Sir R. Peel officiated at Birmingham, on Tuesday evening, at a public dinner given to Dr. Hodgson, of the General Hooplu u of that town. The right hon. baronet was received in a vet)" complimentary manner. We shall, perhaps, next hear of Sir Robert's " health and song" being well received at the cyder cellar or the e olll ' hole. Verily, the mighty are falling ! THE ALLEGED POISONINGS AT BRISTOL.—ANOTfI EXHUMATION.—On Friday, the coroner, assembled 1 1 jury for the purpose of holding an inquiry on the body a Mrs. Mitchell. who died about four years since, 011 whose case is connected with the late extraordina r y poisoning cases. The coroner and jury proceeded to SP' Paul's Churchyard, where they disinterred the body 13 the presence of several medical gentlemen. The visors and entrails were perfectly decomposed, indeed soluble.: but some portions of the lower extremities were in go o d preservation. The contents of the stomach were deliverer to Mr. Herapath for analysation, and the inquest was nu . journed.—Bristol Mirror. QUERY—A BIT OF SATIRE ?—We cannot accuse OU contemporary of the Journal of disregard of the merits 01 Sir Charles Napier; but the following two paragrapbs l3 ; unfortunately so arranged as to convey an inuendo both upon that distinguished officer and her Majesty's mil: ters. We give them precisely as they a pp ear i n his pub lication on Saturday : " Admiral Sir C. Napier entertained the ministers and a large naval party on Wednesday, at Portsmouth. " The Lords of the Treasury have decided upon giving Sir Charles Napier one-eighth of th e S c i n d e p r i ze - mone y." We are at a loss what we have to infer. But the decision of the Lords of the Treasury to give Sir Charles one" eighth of the prize -money is certainly made here into all after-dinner decision. Whichever way it is, however; the entertainment and the award of the loaves and fiPhe' are brought rather too much into juxta-position LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 19.
