The show closed on Friday night, and the " observed of all observers" were led, decorated with the ribbons and medals they had gained, to the several chambers of slaughter, there to be sacrificed to appease the hunger of the good citizens of London during the forthcoming carnivorous festival. This week the butchers' shops will be gaily ornamented with those huge products of grazing and stallfed skill, and the " gentle public" will have the opportunity of admiring in detail the limbs, joints, sides, and interiors of those leviathan oxen, sheep, pigs, &c., which excited their wonder in the Baker street Bazaar. The dramatic and musical gossip of the week is com pressible in a small space. Webster has brought out a piece of his own, an adaptation from the French, entitled "The Man at Law," which is just tolerable; nothing more. The cast is of course the best he could make, and the admirable acting covered the defects of the play. Great preparations are making in Drury-lane to render it fit for the entry of Bunn, who will open his campaign on boxing night. All who are behind the curtain, and who have got a peep at the big manager's programme, declare that he is determined, not to " Witch the world with feats of horsemanship," iv, sanctimonious Jesuits tention of the Act ; there. it a bungling piece of legis lation. That the Judges who have to administer it are amounts to a failure of the in fore I wa justified in cal not very favourable to it, is abundantly evident ; and that they are far from being agreed upon its interpretation, is plain matter of history. That the Act must be amended, is quite clear ; and I must repeat, despite the arguments of the writer in the Times, my opinion, that the sooner Lord Brougham returns from his chateau at Cannes to make the New Law of Evidence simple, plain, and easily understood, not merely by laymen but by Judges, the Another, and 3 the public eye. follow each of er in s slouched hats and but to astonish the natives with magnificent spectacles, splendid operas, and all sorts of georgeous entertainments, that captivate the soul by entrancing the senses. Jullien's Bal Masque came off on Friday night, and was the most numerous and brilliant of any we have had. The scene was quite fairy land, and the exhibition of fair maskers—l presume they were all fair—was all that could be desired. "There was the maid with the bonny blue eye, There was the damsel with none, sir, There was she with black sparkler that looked all awry, he who I think had but one, sir." There was In fact it was a droll melange of costumes, races, man ners, sexes, voices, and all things human. But it was well ordered, and not more licentious than was unavoid able. The dancing was tremendous, the music first-rate, the master of the ceremonies well up to his business, and the maskers most joyous. There was no attempt to dis guise the fact that Speetatum veniunt, veniunt speetatur ut ipsa, and therefore all was freedom, frankness, and jollity AFRICAN PALM OIL TRADE To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR..—Seeing in the Mail, of Saturday last, a letter, signed " Humanit ' " stating the prodigious quantity of 23,180 tons palm o had been imported from thence, in eleven months this year, andhaving a strong philanthropic feeling towards the natives of that country, who formerly exported nothing but slaves, I am rejoiced to see their attention turned to the . productions of their soil . . .

On Friday, a public meeting, called by the committee ,tional Society for the Protection of Native , was held in the great room of the Landon crn, which was densely crowded not only by the lead ing agriculturists now assembled in London, but by per sons connected with the colonial, shipping, commercial, and manufacturing interests. His Grace the Duke of Richmond, K.G., was in the chair, supported by the Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl of Glengal, Earl Stanhope, Lord Berners, Major Beresford, M.P.. Captain Vvse, M.P.. Mr. G. F. Young, M.P., Mr. T. Barrow. M.P., Mr. Ball, of Cambridge. Mr. Baker, of Writtle, Essex, Mr. E. Powles, Mr. Cayley Worslev, and a great number of delegates from various parts of England. A ghost that will not suffer himself to be laid, is a very ugly customer. A living man who will not consent to be coffined and buried, according to the instructions of his next heir who reports him dead, is, no doubt, more pro voking still. In spite of all the funeral orations and ne crological notices which The Times, the Chronicle, the Economist, and their colleagues, have bestowed upon the Protectionist body, in the hope of giving the Free Trade clique undisputed possession of the family property, the former still and again rises up, and gives those unmistake able signs of life which are described by the familiar phrase alive and kicking." In proof of this fact, we refer our readers to the great Protectionist meeting held on Friday night at the London Tavern, his Grace the Duke of Richmond in the chair. We call particular attention to the concluding paragraph of the declaration adopted at the meeting, which affords the most satiafac factory and incontestihle proof that, as we have all along assured our readers, there does not exist in the minds of the leaders of the Protectionist party, the remotest idea of flinching from the principle of " Protection"—taking the term in its literal, grammatical, and natural sense— "to British industry." " Aware of the discouraging effects," says the declaration, " that must be produced on the friends of Protection by an ambiguous, uncertain, or wavering policy, we deem it our bounden duty to call lon British producers of every class to direct their united and undivided efforts towards the restoration of just pro- he " Na Indtpthy COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. Tun recent events in Paris, and the probable results which will eventually follow, continue to exercise an un favourable influence on trade in all departments. The produce markets are therefore exceedingly languid, the sales of most articles have been limited, and holders obliged to accept slightly reduced rates. This remark applies to sugar, tea, coffee, &c. &c. There is no lack of money, and discounts continue to rule easy, 3 per cent, being the rate demanded for good first-class paper, and 21 per cent. on Government secu rities. The Bank of England returns. as gazetted on Friday last, present the same encouraging aspect which have marked them for several weeks past. The amount of the return gives the following results, when compared with the previous week : Public deposits £8,077,344; Increase .....e332,290. Other deposits Rest 3,126,495; Increase .... 2,959. On the other side of the account — Government securities.. £13,241,768 ; The same as before. Other securities 11,547,043; Decrease 26,422. Notes unemployed The amount of notes in circulation is £18,854,505; be ing a decrease of £368 960; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £16,518 584, shewing an increase of £384,507 when compared with the preceding return. Considering the present state of the exchanges between this country and America, we may expect that further large importations of specie are yet to come forward. India has of late been drawing away part of our silver, and this has caused the price to advance, while Brazil has taken some of our gold ; but for this the Bank of England return would already have stood higher. With respect to the employment obtainable for surplus cash, we would gladly recognize an extension ; but trade will certainly not absorb even a moderate proportion, and there is scarcely a resource between accumulation and investment in securities that yield a very limited interest. The open ing afforded by the projected branch railways will next year give some relief, and other companies started are competitors. There has been a better feeling in the market for Eng lish securities this week, and prices generally have been pretty well sustained. The monthly settlement has gone off better than many anticipated, no failures being an nounced. The Electric Telegraph thus reports the clos ing prices of Stocks in Lrsndon this evening :—Consols for Money and Account, 963 ex-div. ; Exchequer Bills, 48s. to 51s.wpm. Cotton has been in slow request during the week, and, to effect sales, holders of American and Surat were ob liged to concede per lb. on the rates current at the close of the week ending Dec. 6. This is owing to the unsettled state of affairs in France, for spinners are mostly well employed, and the Manchester market is steady, with a fair inquiry for both goods and yarns. The stock of cotton on hand is certainly min h smaller than last year, and as the consumption is greater, should peace prevail on the continent, the likelihood is that prices will not be lower at least for some time. The advices brought by the Africa do not add anything new respecting the crop. _ _ There is another pause in our grain markets, and the demand being limited to present wants, holders of both wheat and flour have accepted lower rates. At present there is a total absence of speculation, and seeing that the question of supplies from abroad is very uncertain, as to extent, the buying must for some time longer be confined to a legitimate demand for home use. The deliveries of wheat are considerably in excess of those of the two last years. There is a steady demand for most descriptions of Foreign Wool, and more business might be done if there was a better supply to offer, but most of the late arrivals are held for the public sales now at hand. The sales of Scotch have not been to any extent, but prices are firmly maintained. We regret to state that a firm extensively engaged in the American trade in this town was obliged to suspend payment on Saturday. It is expected that arrangements will be made whereby the parties alluded to will be ena bled to resume business in the course of a few days. LATEST STATE OF THE LIVERPOOL MARKETS. Our Share market opened and has cortinued good throughout the week. It sustained a slight shock on Sa turday from some unfounded political rumours, but the effect of this was but momentary. It has rallied today, and closes this evening about the best of the week, with stock scarce, and every prospect of a further and conti nuous advance. The stocks chiefly in demand are Mid lands and Leeds. it is said that the fusion of the former company with the London and North-Western is all but decided upon. Mining shares have recovered from the decline caused by the French disturbances, and the three bond fide su'-stantial companies continue to be asked for at good premiums. The Aqua Fria's have been done at 14 pm., and close at about 4 pm. The Noveau Mondes are 2 -A., the Anglo-Californians 4.

Amongst the many appliances which Christian benevo lence has called into operation for the spiritual ameliora tion of the condition of Ireland, we consider those educa tional institutions, founded on the principles of the Word of God, to have 'been signally and largely blessed. Our attention has been called to this matter by a paper which has fallen into our hands relative to the working of the Sunday-school system of instruction amongst the Irish population, lately published. It appears that "There were in connection with this society on the Ist of January, 1851, 3,004 schools, containing 226.512 scholars, and 20,000 teachers, who devote their time. gratuitously, to the work of Sunday school instruction. _ _ _ ''' ' l s : l;e - CO;nilteefitWenOl information of such extent or accuracy as to enable them to state, with any precision, the number of Roman Catholic children attending at Sunday schools, but their documents shew that a considerable number has been in attendance for many years; and they rejoice to add, that they possess the clearest evidence that the number has increased, during the last two or three years, in an unpre cedented degree. . . _ " The society has been called upon to give its assistance to a number of Sunday schools, lately established, principally in the province of Connaught, composed almost exclusively of Roman Catholics or converts from the Church of Rome. The elementary books issud by this society—spelling books, with Scriptural reading lessons—have been found extremely useful to the youthful classes of the scholars in these schools, as well as the . Bibles and Testaments, which are used by the more advanced scholars and adults, of whom many attend. In ad dition to grants in previous years, nearly 4,000 Bibles and Tes taments, and nearly 7,000 portions of Scripture and Scripture reading books, were granted by this society during the present year, almost exclusively for the instruction of Roman Catho lics or converts from the Church of Rome, principally in the west of Irel'ind ; and the agents of this society have also aided in the establishment and general organization of many of the schools at which they attend. " From the last census, it appears that the population of Ireland is 6.515,794, and it may be computed that at least two thirds of its inhabitants are capable of receiving instruction in the English language, and thus come within the scope of the society's operations. It appears, also, that in districts, parti cularly in the west of Ireland, here the adult population are only or chiefly accessible to Scriptural instruction through the medium of the Irish language, that in proportion as the light of Divine truth spreads amongst them, an earnest desire exists that their children should be instructed in the English lan guage. And it should be remembered that with the increase of the Protestant population, additional Sunday-schools for their instruction will be required, and that thus the demands for the co-operation and aid of this society will be proportion ably augmented also. . . _ . , "The demands upon this society from the schools during the last four years, occasioned principally by the failure of local funds, and the new openings which have been made for its operations amongst Roman Catholics and converts from the Church of Rome, have exceeded those in any correspond ing period since its establishment." We cordially wish this good, old, and honoured insti tution " God speed" ; and we hope that those who labour in its cause may be upheld, strengthened, and encouraged by the Christian philanthropy and pecuniary support of the friends of the Bible in every part of the United Kingdom.—Eddowes's Journal. CONTINENTAL COMMERrIAL LEAGUE AGAINST GREAT BRITAIN. We have received the following information from our German correspondent, on whose accuracy we can most thoroughly depend. We invite especial attention to its purport, as proving that any notion of reciprocity on the part of the continental powers is more absurd than ever:— " I wish to be the first to communicate to you, and to England, that something is going to take place in Ger many with respect to the Zollverein. It now appears that a sort of congress of all the deputies of the!German states is to take place at Vienna on the 2d of January, in order to join Austria to the Zol tariff, which is very high, and therefore would work most severely against English ma nufactured goods. It is to be divided into three parts. The third class of goods, i. e., the coarsest, will have to pay 60 thalers (equal to £9 English) per cwt. ; the second class 130 per cent. ; and the first class, i. e., the finest goods, 160 per cent., which is tantamount to prohibition !" We commend this intelligence to the manufacturers of Great Britain, as an utter falsification of all the predic tions of Messrs. Cobden, Bright, Wilson, Villiers, and Co.—Bell's Weekly Messenger.

EWBANK'S LECTURES -...- On Tuesday evening, the Rev. W. W. Ewbank deli vered the first of two lectures, at the Collegiate institu tion, on the interesting subject of the Pyrenees, before the largest audience that has been attracted by any lecture this season. Mr. Ewbank said that, in undertaking,"at the request of the excellent principal of the institution, to deliver two lectures on a subject not specially religious, but which certainly might be connected with religion, like all other subjects with which they were conversant, he should cer tainly not forget, and he was sure his hearers would not wish him to forget, that he had a higher character to sus tain than merely the character of a lecturer. He desired always to remember, more especially on such occasions as that, that the character in which he most gloried was that of a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But God forbid that they should even suppose for a single moment that ignorance was the mother of devotion. Let them always remember that every object in which a Christian man was engaged ought always to tend to religion. They ought to be always influenced by the spirit of religion. And it was in such a spirit he proposed to address them on the subject of the Pyrenees. The reverend lecturer took up some of the most important features connected with the Pyrenean mountains. These included the geo graphy and origin of the name, together with the legends and early history of the chain. All those great generals who have made the mountains famous were brought for ward, and, for a while at least, Pompey, Caesar, Charle magne, and others of the same character, seemed to be revivified before the audience. The great historical events of the locality were also dwelt upon, from the earliest times to the present day. As the lecturer brought these matters successively before his auditors, he drew there from important practical deductions, which, we doubt not, made a deep impression upon his auditory, and conveyed a fund of information of the most durable and useful character. On Friday evening, the second lecture was delivered. It comprised, among other descriptive points connected with those beautiful regions, the peculiarities of the scenery, the forests, the vineyards, the natural baths, the Basques, and their general improvement and progress, concluding with a review of the present state of Protestantism in France, and the advantages to be derived from historical study and travels in foreign lands. The lecture. which was attended by a very numerous audience, blended in struction with amusement. The lucid illustrations of scenery and manners elicited much applause, and laugh ter was often provoked by the rev. gentleman's humorous anecdotes and reminiscences. FATHER GAVAZZI'S LIKENESS.—We have had the pleasure, this week, of inspecting a portrait of Father Gavazzi, taken in water colours by Mr. Skeolan, of Church-street. The likeness is highly executed, and par ticularly pleasing in expression. The attitude chosen by the artist is well selected, and gives a very just conception of the original. It is a great recommendation of Mr. Skeolan's portraits that his prices are so moderate, as this circumstance places a desirable resemblance within the reach of all classes of the public. SMUGGLING.—WiIIiam Devereux, a sailmaker, of this port, was brought up at the Police-court yesterday, at the instance of Mr. Philip Mayler, a customs officer, who, at one o'clock that morning, me,t him coming from on board the Satellite tender, with 44-lbs. of cigars upon him. The prisoner was fined 40s.—James Granville and Thomas Lewis, two of the hands on board the America steamer, were each fined 20s. for bringing on shore tobacco, con cealed in their stockings. oalrE', 1n 2ttrtion IMPORTANT 8-41,E.
