The esti mates furnished us are so loose that we attach not the slightest weight to them. For instance, we are told that we shall be able to keep lunatics, for which we are paying at present from Bs. to 10s. per week each, for the same sum per head which we now pay for the keel) of paupers —viz., three shil lings. The reply of the Rev. Rector Bro o k s , th e Chairman of the Vestry, to this calculation, that the lunatics in the Lancaster Asylum cost Bs. 9d. per head, and that " no profit whatever is realized by them," is a fact worth a hundred opinions and estimates. Again, we have no faith in the alleged value of the site of the existing workhouse. Con tiguous, as it is now, to a number of paltry hack streets, and the prestige of the neighbourhood for respectability entirely gone, we doubt if twelve =flings a yard could be got . for it within any - -, able time; and even then, as Mr. Earle rb `he Vestry, we must bear in mind that in of a plot of building land we ltion "P • be set mincteU t ust tat- :g the prOdu bile space to part for the formation of streets. We doubt too whether, as is assumed, twenty-seven acres of land, the quantity required in an eligible site, can _ Derby, or any . other place within four or five miles of Liverpool, for £B,OOO, or less than three hundred pounds per acre ; and we dislike the disingenuousness of parties who, in ' ' be secured in making such an estimate of comparative cost, put ten per cent. as the allowance for the excess over estimate upon a matured plan, and allow for no excess in the estimate of their own plan, which is altogether in nubibus. Supposing, however, that a trifling saving could be effected, there still remain insuperable objections to the project. We object to the transporting of our unfortunate poor to a distance so far from the every-day inspection of the Vestry, their legitimate protectors, and from the visits of their immediate friends. We have some idea, too, that these un fortunate beings are allowed occasionally a day out of the workhouse; and such h o lid a y wou ld b e of little value if they had to enjoy it at the expense of a walk , of four or five miles. Then there are cases in which proximity to the workhouse is essential to the charitable purpose of such an in stitution; and we are not inclined to " extend our -- with Mr. Poole, "to one hundred years or one hundred and fifty years hence ;" and, were we ever so inclined, we are not so sanguine as to expect to find West Derby village or its vicinity the centre of the parish of Liverpool, or " as near to it as the workhouse in Brownlow-hill when originally built." Under all circumstances, we protest most decidedly against this wild proposal; and, especially, we wonder with what face gen tlemen can make themselves prominent in their opposition to an expenditure for water for sanatory purposes, who are prepared to hurry us into an ex penditure whose necessity nobody ever dreamt of. " Lord Clarendon has taken the bull by the horns," exclaims a Whig contemporary of Satur day—the Journal ;—and some timid and deluded Conservatives are congratulating themselves upon the fact a his lordship's tardy energy, A few of the most prominent bullies of the Repeal press have succeeded, by the loudness and rabidness of their bawling, in attracting the n o ti ce o f h er Ma j esty ' s Irish vernment. Messrs. Duffy and Meagher of the sword, with a few more gentry of similar kidney, whose trade is furious writing and spouting—who live by the sale of sedition, and cry for pikes and pennies in a breath—are about to be submitted to the not very dangerous chance of not having a Papist on the jury, sworn to "give a true verdict according to the evidence" produced against them. This is energetic government ! This paltering with a few of the blown bladders of agitation is to put down an extensively organised conspiracy ; to blunt the pikes, and render innocuous the muskets of some tens of thousands of rebels, avowedly pre pared to level them, at the first convenient oppor tunity, against the breasts of her Majesty's loyal Irish subjects, and to embark in a struggle to the death for the subversion of her Majesty's rule and authority in that distracted land. With the rebels themselves, their clubs, and their arming, Lord Clarendon hesitates to interfere. The trumpeters of the rebel army are dealt with by the arm of autho rity; but the army itself is left to strengthen and intrench its force unmolested. We have hope, however, left yet of safety for Ireland, let her Majesty's Government neglect their duty as they may. There is a loyal Protestant strength in Ireland, which exhibited itself on the glorious twelfth of this month of July, throughout the province of Ulster, against which treason directs menace and hyrocritical wheedling equally in vain. The much-maligned Orange body in Ireland, faithful still throughout half a century of misrepresentation and actual persecution, stands forward now, with the old spirit of 1688 glowing yet in the breasts of its members, to act as the barrier against the demon, raised by Popish in trigues and fostered by Protestant concession. On that loyal body, and on those actuated by the same loyal and Protestant feelings, Lord Clarendon might just now rely in safety, if he would throw himself upon it for support, and treat its members with the consideration which is due to them. But the moral courage, we fear, is not in Whiggery to treat disaffection as it deserves to he treated. It will be allowed to smoulder, unchecked, until at length it blazes forth, and spreads bloodshed and desolation over the land. In that last disastrous crisis, our faithful, though abused, Orange bre thren will have to save, and will save, the empire which has trampled upon them. Are we in England, aye, in Liverpool, under no obligation to this body, which has so admirably conducted itself during the past week ? The magistracy of our town could answer the question. The feeling of hostility is rife even here, amongst our Irish population, against the country which has received and fostered them, to the neglect of the claims of its own suffering in dustry. We have Irishmen here providing pikes for our destruction, organizing themselves in clubs, and in their secret conclaves talking of fire and 1 who are they, amongst our them very s ther, the 13,000, is ey Can be bamboozled into ended to be ? reposterous proceeding. _ 4-erected wing of the workhouse Atount-pleasant, which has just cost to be "rendered available for parish .1 tolerably expensive offices they will st the excellent and commodious site of '-house is to be sold for building upon ; 4 to .produce, with the materials, as fequired to erect the new suburban We must be permitted, however, to go 'to detail with respect to the proposi . ds upon w - hich it is - rec-om ed by the vestry and parish- Mr. Urquhart, who moved the be Building Committee's Report, ion of that body that, when the it is tne ations for. the enlargement of the present khouse, recommended by the Poor Law Com are carried out, the locality, admitted most healthy in Liverpool, and e of perfect drainage and ven le insalubrious ; or to use his on, will be ace of the present site of the Workhouse of a thickly peopled district in the mplated buildings were erected, en lere would be little or no ventilation, ;ease—inflicting pain and suffocation under affection of the lungs, asthma, aspiration, feeble action in the )ility in the organs of digestion, Id and indigent.

MARRIAGE OF GENERAL CAVAIGNAC: MYSTERIOUS PARTlNG.—Czwaigßac is the idol of the hour. All his plans and acts meet with the admiration which never fails to greet novelty in Paris. His courage, his decisions, his defiance of the underhanded foes by whom he is menaced day and night, are all traits of character most likely to ensure esteem after the wavering uncertainty, the plotting and combinations of the system we have inn Shaken off. The general has just taken the house in the Rue de Varennes formerly occupied by the American Colonel Thom. It is rumoured that this is but a preliminary step to his marriage, which is announced to take place in a abort time and is to astonish us all. Another step more decisive by far has been the departure a few nights ago, from the hotel where the general now resides, of two mysterious-looking carriages, each containing interpreters and attendants, besides sundry white burnons and Arab veils of silver tissue, amid which was found a form more lovely by far, a heart more true and faithful, than any which the Presi dent can ever hope to secure to himself in the hot and fevered atmosphere of Paris. The cortege bent its sad way towards the south, it was said to Marseilles, there to embark for Africa ; and the whole of the following day the general remained solitary in his o wn a p ar t men t, un d er pretence of indisposition. Some people say that he al ready bitterly repents the decision he has taken by the advice of officious friends, and that h e expresses more regret for the affection which he has thus scorned and dismissed than hope in the happiness which has been held out to him for the future.—Paris correspondent of The Atlas. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. DISGRACEFUL TREATMENT OF EMIGRANTS - CAUTION TO STEERAGE PASSENGERS AND OTHERS. Yesterday, at the Police-court, informations were ex hibited against Rafferty, and Hackit, by two Irishmen, Michael Hengan and another, on behalf of themselves and others, for having received their money for a passage to New York, under false pretences, and afterwards refusing them places in the ship, agreed upon, or any other. The case was before Mr. Rushton last week, but the evidence being then incomplete, little of moment transpired, and the facts were therefore yesterday gone into de-novo . Mr. Davenport appeared for the de fendants, who were not in custody, and Lieutenant Hodder was present on behalf of the emigrants, he being the Government Emigration Agent, for the protection of emi grants leaving this port. The complainant Hengan said that they had paid for himself and others to Rafferty the sum of £4B, for their respective passages to New York, in the ship " Forest Monarch." Tne money was paid into the hands of Rafferty, in the presence of Hackit, and at their office. The ship had since gone to sea. They had applied to get on board the snip, but were refused, and no other had been provided. Mr. Davenport endeavoured to show that a mistake existed, and that Messrs. Shaw and Saul were owners or agents of the vessel, and ought to have looked into the matter for the complainants. Mr. Rushton said that Mr. Davenport's clients had basely robbed the parties. They had no authority whatever to procure passengers for the ship in question, or to receive money from them. Both Mr. Shaw and Mr. Saul on being applied to for that purpose, told Rafferty that they would have nothing to do with either of the defendants in the matter. The Clerk of the court then stated that, that the de fendants would have to pay as follows :—To be repaid, £4B ; subsistence money -for the passengers (detained), £ll ; penalty, £lO ; total, £69. Mr. RUSHTON said the license of both, Rafferty and Hackett should be immediately withdrawn ; and hethought the other similar cases formed a good plea for the law requiring that each of those who received licenses should be required to lodge securities to the amount of £2OO. Lieut. HODDER said there were other impositions upon emigrants equally bad, but some of them could not be punished here. He produced a letter, dated New York, 29th January, from a man named Samuel Gray, by which it appeared that he had there paid to an agent 61 dollars and 50 cents. for the passage from this port to New York for his wife and children, out of which they had been totally defrauded. On the front page of the letter (which was affectionately written) was a printed order filled up in ink, with the names of the family, the wife, Mary Gray, aged 40, and Margaret, James, Samuel, Eleanor, and John Gray, their children, aged from 10 to 2 years. It was addressed from the firm of Olney and Cotterall, who were represented here by a person named Rayners, and the parties deluded by it. Lieut. Hodder also pro duced the Boston Vindicator of the 31st January, in which the public are cautioned against a fellow n ame d Herdman, who was under heavy bonds in Boston for robbing poor emigrants, and who had fled to Liverpool, " to act for Olney and Co., in the capacity of mancatcher." The Irish Emigrant Society in Boston had discovered a number of other similar cases of defrauding. He had in vain endeavoured to stop the practice, and warned the public against paying any monies for drafts in Ireland or Liverpool to the said Herdman and Co., now of 20, Wall street, New York. One of the informations against Rafferty and Hacket was for refusing the complainants a passage as stated ; another was fraudulently representing themselves - as authorised by Messrs. Saul and Shaw, to contract for passengers in their ship, and inducing com plainants and others to engage steerage passengers —well knowing they were not authorised. Messrs. Saul and Shaw appeared, and said they had given no such autho rity. The officers received instructions to apprehend the delinquents by warrant. A sermon on behalf of the Liverpool Church of England School Society, was preached at St. Augustine's Church on Sunday morning by the Rev. Henry H. Higgins. The collection somewhat exceeded twenty-five pounds. The body of a man unknown was found floating, on Friday morning, near to the new lock in the canal. De ceased was nearly six feet high, and was dressed in a dark frieze coat, brown plush vest, and corded trowsers. JUST TOO LATE.—We are told that the Acadia, which arrived here on Wednesday week from New York, brought for M. Lamartine a cap of liberty and a stand of colours, as a present from his fellow-republicans in America. The gift might have created some enthusiasm had it arrived a few weeks earlier. STABBING CASE. —At the Police-court, yesterday, Patrick Grimes, Anthony Kelly, and two females, were charged with taking part in wounding and stabbing John Joyce, in Sawney Pope-street. It appeared from a sur geon's certificate, that Joyce is " dangerously wounded," and will for some time at least be unable to appear. The prisoners were all consequently remanded. COMMITMENTS, YESTERDAY, AT THE POLICE -COURT. —Margaret Murphy, for picking pockets, and upon whom £2 7s. was found, was committed for three months.— Peter Hagar and W. Kelly, for robbing a poor woman in Paradise-street of ls. ; and Richard Lawler and Edward Humphries, for daringly stealing a table from the shop of Mr. W. Williams, in Renshaw-street, on Saturday night, were committed for trial. VISIT OF THE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL TO THE CHINESE COLLECTION.—Yesterday afternoon, by an in vitation from Mr. Langd on , the mayo r and council, together with the principal clergy and ministers of the town and district, visited this superb collection, which we have noticed elsewhere. After a lengthened examination of the multitudinous articles of interest, with which the great hall abounds, the distinguished visitors afforded similar testimony to the grandeur and beauty of the scene, which has so frequently been accorded to this really matchless collection in London and Birmingham. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—When we entered this beau tiful retreat, a few evenings since, we could not help remarking to a friend that it looked if possible more beautiful than ever. The fresh-mown grass and neatly trimmed walks—the gaiety of the flowers in never-ending variety and loveliness—all combined to add an irresistible charm to the whole scene. The unrivalled Madame Warton will exhibit this evening a still more splendid series of tableaux, being a selection from the most cele brated works of Rubens. The magnificent Bouquet de Dames, got up at great expense, in order to do honor to the patronage of the Earls of Sefton, Eglintoun, and Glasgow, will be repeated. A trombone band of extra ordinary talent will produce the most beautiful harmony. This is the first occasion of this novel treat; and for the first time the shipping of the mighty Hudson will be represented moving, which in passing and re-passing appear wonderful and interesting. All the other attractive portions of the exhibition may be seen as usual. A fashionable morning performance will take place on Friday next. SUPPOSED SUICIDE BY A GIRL.—On Thursday, an inquest was held in Salford before Mr. Rutter, the county coroner, on the body of a girl named Sarah Anne Cassidy, aged 13 years, who lived with her parents in Salford. It appeared from the evidence given, that on Tuesday morn ing last deceased's mother, who had been lately confined, got up at an early hour for the purpuse of getting a cup of tea, and on going to the cupboard found that a quantity of sugar had been taken out of the bowl. The deceased was at this time out of the house, but on her return the mother charged her with stealing the sugar. She denied that she had done so but whilst lifting her hands and prote s ti ng en ergetically her innocence,a quantity of sugar dropped either from her hands or some part of her clothes in which it was concealed. The mother of the girl, who at this time had gone to bed, on seeing the sugar fall, observed that when she got up she would see about it ; and on making this observation, she turned on her side and fell asleep, but when she awoke, her daughter had left the house, and was not heard of until Wednesday, when her body was found in the river at the Throstle Nest. It is sup posed the girl threw herself into the water when she left home ; but as no evidence was offered on this point, a verdict of " Found drowned" was returned.—Manchester Advertiser. DELUSIONS.—A respectably dressed man, who de scribed himself as Robert Bell, 16, Crown-street, Wind sor, Liverpool, was charged, at the Marylebone Office, London, on Wednesday, with having travelled in a second class railway carriage, of the London and Northwestern Railway, from Birmingham to London, without paying his fare. He bad no money in his possession. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, produced a packet of letters, talked of large sums of money due to him from the Emperor of Russia and the Railway Company, and stated that he had long been nsuccessfully pursuing his claims against the Russian 3vernment. Several letters were banded to Mr. whom they were read. Two of them from the secretary of Lord Palmerston, who informed him in one of them that his case was one in which he (Lord P.) could not interfere, and in the other it was stated that the claim should have been made long before. Mr. Hume's reply to him was that he could do nothing for him himself, and that his best course would be to apply to the members for Liverpool, who would judge from any statement which he might make to them as to whether his case ought to be brought under the notice of Parlia ment. The prisoner said it was absolutely necessary that he should see Lord Palmerston, but, if he - did not succeed, he should resume painting, at which he had been recently employed. He was ultimately discharged. A FEMALE SAILOR. Yesterday, a good-looking sailor youth, (as all i n court took the prisoner to be,) attired in a blue jacket, striped blue shirt, &c., was placed at the bar of the Police -court, charged by a stout-whis kered seaman, named Jam es Ki tson, w i th having robbed him in a lodging-house of £B. Mr. Parkinson, the bridewell-keeper, intimated, before the case was gone into, that the prisoner turned out to be a young woman. The complainant then said that prisoner had accosted him on Saturday, in the street, asking his assistance, as he was in distress, and wanted a s hi p. Wi tness took h i m and gave him his breakfast, and afterwards his dinner, at Mr. Parker's cookshop, Wappi ng . I t appeared that complainant had afterwards introduced prisoner to some of his shipmates, and that the whole had been drinking together ratl2er cheerfully during the day. At night, Jack invited his young companion to accept of part of his bed, and they slept together. H e h a d prev i ous l y g i ven the prisoner a jacket, so as to appear more tidy than before. In the morning, the sailor somehow suspected the sex of his partner, and missing his money, went down stairs to the landlord, and told him there was, he be lieved, a woman in his room, who had robbed him. The landlord laughed, and said he must be mistaken, and had perhaps had " the horrors." The prisoner was not, it appears, really discovered to be a female until taken into custody. Seven shillings were found on the prsoner, and she said the jacket was given to her by complainant ; and she found the money in it. Mr. Pa r ki nson sa id h e had learned that prisoner's mother had gone f rom Man chester by a packet-ship from this port to New York, that they had somehow missed each other in coming here, and that the prisoner had come in disguise, in hopes of working her way out as a sailor. Mr. Rushton re manded her, She save her name as Mary Ann Martin, prisoner WHAT IS OUR MANUFACTURING SUPREMACY ? A very valuable letter from a merchant in Havana, contained in Simmond's Colonial Magazine for the pre sent month, gives us the following as the _ Importation of Linen and Caton Goods from Great Britain, Hamburg, and Bremen into the Havana in 1847 : Brabantes, Britannias, Creas, Linen, _Do. Cotton, Canvass, Drill, Great Britain. Hamburg Bremen Estop" alos, Hessians, Islander pieces 8,818 „ 3!2,253 Listadoes, Linen, Do.

Yet in this market of the Havana, in 1847, after having admitted the slave-grown sugar of Cuba into our own markets, and reduced the import duty upon every other article which she produces—after having aid for her commerce the ruin of our own sugar-growing colonies—we find that of those very articles, in which our free-traders boast a supremacy in manufacturing, she takes more from the foreign than from the British ma nufacturer ! With some articles, too, of linen especially, she supplies herself exclusively from the forei g ner. It may, we are well aware, be urged that Great Britain has only recently encouraged reciprocal relations with the Havana, whereas her intercourse with Hamburg and Bremen, as the chief recipients of her produce, has been of long standing. We admit that such is the case. But if the manufactures imported from Hamburg and Bremen were not preferred to, or cheaper than, British goods, we know, and every freetrader will acknowledge, that they would not be bought by the Cuban merchants. It may be said too, and we grant, that a considerable portion of the imports from Hamburg and Bremen may consist of British goods sent, as remittance for Cuban produce, from these ports. But it is significant, as to the extent of the validity of this plea, that the particular goods of which the excess from the Continent is greatest, the lead ing fabrics are those, in the production of which it has long been more than suspected that the German manu facturer could beat us. We have of course no right to expect that Cuba, or any other country, will give us more for our goods than they can get them for elsewhere, whatever may be the com mercial policy which we adopt. We may take all the sugar which Cuba has to sell ; but it by no, means follows that she shall bring the money for it to our shop, however much we increase her ability to buy. We so increased her ability by the prosperity which we conferred upon her in 1846 ; and what was the result ? Why, that she gave to our rival manufacturers quite as large an increase of her favours as she did to ourselves. Thus, in the article of Linen Listadoes, there were imported into the Havana in 1846, from Hamburgh and Bremen, 17,538 pieces, and, in 1847, 35,027 pieces ; and from Great Britain, in the former year, 844 pieces, and, in the latter, none. Of the same article in Cotton the import from Hamburgh and Bremen was, in 1846, 20,171, and, in 1847, 46,348 pieces. In ho siery the quantities were, from Hamburgh and Bremen, in 1846, 15,126 dozen, and, in 1847, 38,185 dozen; and from Great Britain, in 1846, 7,105 dozen, and in 1847, 20,715 dozen. The proportion of increase is nearly the same in every other item, and shows clearly that, in our pursuit of abstract theory, we are throwing away the na tion's strength and the basis of its prosperity—our colonies —quite as much to advantage the foreign manufacturer as our own industrious countrymen. We are eating slave grown Sugar to enable the Cuba planter to expend three times his former amount with the Russian linen manufac turer and the Saxon hosier. HUMILIAIING FACT, The Sligo Journal informs us that " Coals of a very good quality are now raising in the parish of Kilronan, county Roscommon, about sixteen miles from this town, and can be sold at 14s. per ton. They make a pleasing fire : the cinders, when wet, are little inferior to English coal." Sad news these for Wigan and Newcastle, that Irish cinders are " little inferior" to our black diamonds ! Doubtless, when the repeal is carried, and Ireland is a nation, poor John Bull may be permitted to treat himself, as a luxury, with a few of her leavings, in the shape of these extraordinary cinders. His candle must be a dip, and his fire a small one, in those days. We understand that the Rev. Dr. Buck;formerly chap lain of the Liverpool Borough Gaol, is at present officiat ing as curate of Trinity Church in this town. • We understand that a meeting of the members of the Liverpool Law Society was held yesterday, in their libra ry, in the Clarendon rooms, to take into consideration the ' bill brought into the House of Lords by Lord Brougham, for consolidating and amending the Bankrupt Law, and that a sub-committee was appointed to watch the progress of the bill, to examine its various provisions, and to re port to a future meeting of the society. We perceive that the Rev. Thomas Nolan will, this morning, preach a sermon at Hineley Church, near Nuneaton, Leicestershire, on the occasion of the opening of a new school. Earl Howe and a number of the local gentry will be present. On Sunday last Mr. Nolan com pleted the eighth year of his ministerial connection with St. Barnabas' Church, in this town ; and few clergymen have done so much within the same period to gain the affectionate gratitude of their people. NOT A GRUMBLER WITHOUT REASON.—" Sit down sir !"—exclaimed Mr. Earle to one of his colleagues of the Vestry, at its last meeting,—" you have done nothing but grumble ever since you have been a member of the Select Vestry." No wonder. Any man would grumble at finding himself a member of a body which has become so very select, especially in language, of its members towards each other, since it was reconstructed on the " fair play" pattern. The only wonder is that the parishioners do not grumble more at the continual exhi bitions of its folly and impertinence. LECTURE ON THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS OF THE DAY.—We are glad to say that Mr. Brindley, the Principal of Tarvin-Hall School, (near Chester,) purposes to deliver a Lecture on Friday evening, in the Liver Thea tre, "on the practical effects of Socialism, and Commu nism on individuals, and on Societv,—as illustrated in the recent sanguinary insurrection in Paris,—which, there can be now no doubt, was planned and prosecuted by Socialist and Communist parties of France ; and, it will probably turn out by the.same baneful communion in other states of Europe. It will be remembered that Mr. Briudley, for many years, most successfully confuted social infide lity in this and other large towns ; and that in putting down the ravings of enthusiasts, and of others not deserv ing of so gentle a name, he " did the state some service." He will we believe endeavour to show how destructive in their practical effects, to all orders of society, are the prin ciples evinced by the opponents of order in the late fear ful Parisian outbreak ;—and, by contrast, how thankful we should be—even amidst all the political evils of which we rightfully complain of the privileges enjoyed by the people of this favoured country. We trust that Mr. Brindley will be rallied around by those who formerly stood by him, when he was the bold and uncompromising advocate of peace, and constitutional means of redress for real grievances, against the agents of infidelity and sedi tion. Those who remember that gentleman's energy and eloquence will anticipate with pleasure his intended address to the public. The Earl of Sefton has, we learn, given his cordial sanction to Mr. Brindley's intention, and would have hiniself presided, but for previous en gagements. CRICKET MATCH.—THE OLYMPUS (LIVERPOOL) AND THE PRESTON CLUBS. — Yesterday a match was played between the above clubs, on the ground of the former, on the Aigburth road. The match excited much interest amongst the admirers of this noble pastime, there being a g reat number of spectators prese n t on th e occas i on . The Olympus having beaten the Liverpool Club last week, and the latter having previously proved victorious over the Manchester Club, the result of the present game was looked to with more than ordinary interest, for upon the issue of the contest seemed, from previous playing, to de pend which of the Lancashire clubs should rank first in the county. The Olympus went in for the first innings, and, as will be seen from the scora.below, came out with a com paratively small number of runs. The Preston men then took the bat, and on the last wicket being lowered they headed their opponents by 33 runs. It was announced at the commencement of the game, that the stumps whould be drawn at six o'clock, and, that if at that time, the second innings were not completed the first innings should decide the match. Whilst the second innings were being played time was called, and the match thus termi nated in favor of the Preston Club. There was some first-rate playing displayed on the part of both sides, and the Preston gentlemen frequently remarked that they had seldom bad to .bat against such superior bowling. The following is the score : OLYMPUS. - FIRST INNINGS Franklin, c. by Backbouse H. Williams, c. by Crankshaw _ Catterall, c. by Rand ...

THE LOCAL RATES-ANOTHER GOOD STEP, We understand that last week a meeting of the Select Committee, appointed by the Council, to consider the subject of our local taxation was held, when they resolved to recommend to the Council, that means should be taken to make both the Corporate and Dock Estates contribute their fa'r proportion to our local rates, and that these taxes on every description of property, should in future be paid by the landlord. Mr. HUGH HORNBY advocated very ably the taxation of the estates belonging to our public bodies, and Mr. PARKER strengthened the hands of the Committee, by causing to be produced, the memorial from St. Ann's Ward, in favour of the proposition. Among the other members of the Committee, and who were unanimous on the subject, were Mr. Earle, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Harbord, and Mr. Morris. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) ARREST OF DR. WDOUALL.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES Letters from Hamburg, of the 14th instant, state the receipt of news from Copenhagen, to the effect that the armistice had been ratified by the King, and despatched, by special courier, to the head-quarters of General H edemann. MONEY MARKET—YESTERDAY. The funds this week have opened with a strong market, and Consols as dear for money as for time, at 87A to 8. We have also a rise in Bank stock, which is now quoted 196 to 8, and in demand. Reduced Threes are 87i to 8. Three-and-a-Quar ter per Cents.. 88i to Exchequer Bills, 455. to 495. premium. Altogether stocks are freely purchased, and the effect of the dividends is very perceptible upon the market. LONDON SHARE MARKET.—YESTERDAY. The market is generally firm. Caledonians, Scottish Centrals, and Great Northerns, are all in demand, at quotations slightly improved. French shares are also more in favour. LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY. Our market was more liberally supplied this morning with Wheat, by land-carriage samples from the near counties ; which circumstance, coupled with the continuance of highly favourable weather, caused the trade to rule very dull, at a decline of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. The demand for foreign Wheat was very limited, and sales were with difficulty effected at a reduction of Is. to 2s. upon the quotations of Monday last. Barley was a dull .ale, but cannot be quoted lower. Supplies of Oats of home growth continue very moderate, but from abroad we still receive considerable quantities. This article was a slow sale, with the turn in price in favour of the buyers. Beans and Pease much the same as last quoted. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY. We are well supplied with Beasts for the time of the year ; trade is steady at about Friday's pr ic e s. The number of Sheep and Lambs is not large, yet it is quite equal to the demand. Buyers do not purchase readily; however, prices can scarcely be quoted lower. Calves are not so plentiful ; they are sold freely, at rather more money. Pigs are a dull sale, owing to the hot weather. From Holland there are about 2110 Beasts, 1,620 Sheep, and 124 Calves ; and 200 Beasts from Scotland. MINCING-LANE.—YESTERDA Y. Cotton and Rice continue to wear an upward appearance. In other articles no alteration. The public sales advertised for to-morrow are large and various—say, of Sugar, 200 hhds. West India, and 7000 bags Mauritius, Bengal, and Madras.— Coffee : 4000 bags, chiefly Ceylon. — Saltpetre : 1000 bags.— Rice : 10,000 bags.—Tea : 12,000, which prevents any business being done in these articles by pdvate contract. SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIETY FOR IRELAND The annual meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary Society, in aid of this Society, was held yesterday evening, in the school-room of Christ Church, in Christian-street, and, notwithstanding the inducements of the season, was well attended. The Rev. Mr. MossE, a young clergyman from Ireland, was called to the chair, and (after prayer) ably opened the business of the meeting, deducing some statistics from a printed document to show the cheering prospects of the society even in adverse commercial and political times ; and showing that there were in Ireland 2,964 schools, 80,222 teachrrs, and 224,132 scholars. After noticing a variety of advantages attached to the working of the society, be strongly urged the teachers and others who were friends of the society to continue their endeavours, by personal services and pecuniary endeavours, to move on in its,behalf, if they expected a blessing hereafter. Mr. O'NEIL, the Secretary, read the report, which was to the effect that notwithstanding the badness of the times the Society had remitted last year the sum of £lOl, including donations; that great gratitude was due to the Rev. F. Ould, and to the Rev. 1 James, of St. Mary's, for two sermons preached ; that great thanks were due to the ladies who had exerted themselves in its behalf ; and the document concluded by affording a number of statis tics shewing the number of schools, &c. The Rev. Mr. BUTLER (from Ireland), moved the adop tion of the report, in a feeling and i m p ress i ve a dd ress. The Rev. G. WARRE, of St. Saviour's, seconded the resolution in a very eloquent address, which breathed great Christian feeling towards the benighted in Ireland, and was replete with forcible illustrations, which produced a strong and sympathetic effect on the meeting. He es pecially pointed out the great object of the Society,— namely the exclusive promotion of Sunday Schools, and the doing so by providing tuition for the children, and also affording Bibles to the able-bodied who applied, at the smallest possible price, and to the destitute who applied, for nothing. The resolution was unanimouely carried. The Rev. R. WILLING, Rector j of Kini's Court, Ire land, moved the second resolution, expressing the grateful thanks due to those Christian friends in Ireland who bad contributed to the success of the great cause, and expres sing the hope of the parent society that the auxilliary society here would continue their kindly exertions in be half of Ireland. This was seconded by the Rev. Mr. CATH CART, (as we understood,) in an energetic speech. A collection to a handsome amount was made, and after a brief address from the chairman, and the singing of a hymn, the meeting separated. THE CELEBRATED CHINESE COLLECTION, FROM HYDE-PARK CORNER, LONDON. This extraordinary collection was opened in Islington Market, only yesterday, and, from its magnitude and variety of subjects, we can only now say, upon a necessarily very brief view, that we were struck with astonishment, and not a little bewildered. The entrance to the struc ture, or building, in which the whole is contained, is in the Chinese style of architecture, and is in itself a rich specimen. The apartment occupied by the collection is 225 feet in length, by 50 in width, with a lofty ceiling, supported on numerous pillars. The great hall is so re splendent with objects, great and small, that one wonders how they have been collected, and how so massive a building, (wnich appears as if permanent,) and its va luable contents, could be transported from town to town. The impression upon the visitors is, taking the rooms and the varied and curious objects within, that. they have sud denly got into a new world. Everything is in keeping with Chinese character, habits, costumes, &c. There are a great number of scenic representations :all round this ob long hall, each representing a stage of a theatre, with paintings behind, and full length figures in the foreground, in various and rich costume, illustrative of historical or judicial scenes appertaining to China. There is also a variety of paintings, drawings, arms, curiosities, and a thousand works of art interspersed within the " Cases" or compartments. All along the floor of this splendid apartment, the decorations of which are finely carved and richly gilded, are large glass cases onpedestals, contain ing stuffed birds, animals, reptiles, &c. One com partment represents the Emperor on his throne, surrounded by his dependants; another, the Judge in his court; another, the merchant in his shop, &c. But it is impossible to particularize. There are also many fine specimens of Chinese junks, from the man-of war, mounted with metal guns, and fit to cross the Mer sey, to the beautiful and elaborately carved ivory mo del, suitable for a chimney ornament. There is a capital Sax-horn and Cornopean band, who play charmingly. We should add that the collection of Chinese lanthorns suspended from the roofof the magnificent pavilion are beau tiful, some of them as large as English summer-houses, and all beautifully painted, gilded, and curiously designed. The apartment is splendidly illuminated in the evening with gas ; and last night when the whole large room was lighted up with a variety of gas-lights along each side, and from the huge Chinese lanterns appended from the roof ; (and the room at the same time filled with fashionable company, promenading to the music of a spirited band), the result was highly effective and pleasing. We shall have an opportunity of noticing this extraordi nary collection more at length next week. It would be injustice not to notice in brief some curious and valuable porcelain, which (with a vender's shop) form a striking feature of the exhibition. DISTRESSING EVENT.—On Wednesday the Rev. Dr. Davies, minister of the Unitarian chapel, Gloucester, committed self-destruction by hanging himself at.his resi dence in Barton-street. The unfortunate gentleman fell on his head some weeks since, and suffered severely from it. The French revolution has deprived him of his pro perty, and latterly his mind had evidently been affected. THE PRICE OF BLOOD IN PARIS. —Le Droit, speaking of the frequent assassination of gardes mobiles in open daylight, says that for some days past papers have been posted in the ateliers, offering rewards of fifty francs to whomsoever should kill a garde mobile, forty francs for killing a soldier, thirty for a national guard, and twenty for a gardien de Paris. The Constitutionnel, after quoting the above, adds that in the Faubourg Passionniers a pla card has been posted, offering 20 francs for the head of a garde mobile and 10 for that of a national guard. A LEAP FOR LIFE.—A young gentleman, named Parker, has made a surprising leap into the Tweed, near Coldstream. He was in a dog-cart. The horse took fright, and dashed towards the Tweed bridge. The near wheel of the carriage struck the wall of the bridge, and rose up so far as to allow the end_ of the shaft to ge t u p on the top of it, on which it slipped a considerable way. Fearing that he might meet a worse fate, Mr. Parkerleapt from the dog-cart over the parapet-wall into the stream, at a place where the water was deep enough to save him from striking the bottom, and he escaped afterwards by swimming. The depth from the parapet to the water was forty-five feet, _ Though the King has power to confer titles, he has none to resume them, Parliament, however, has, and the power was exeroised.in the case of George Neville, fourth Duke of Bedford, who was degraded by authority of Par lig.Me4ltt on 4009 Wat of his poverty.—.
