T ' TO CORRESPON DENTS. Lord Palmerston's speech on the Greek question was much longer than Lord Stanley's. The former noble lord is, we believe, above sixty-five years of age, and spoke, on Tuesday night, for five hours. In our few remarks last week on thr concert for the Lying-in LiosPital, we unintentionally omitted to name Miss Marsh, who acquitted herself on the occasion very effectively. We had the best authority for stating that the petition in favour of Sunday labour, was withdrawn on Mon-day last from the Exchange news•room, and are not disposed to cite much credence to the not very courteous dental of the fact by a contemporary. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1850. IT is now an established fact that the Income Tax, imposed upon us originally for a limited period, to cover a Whig deficiency, has become a permanent burthen. We have rendered it so by deliberately lopping off other sources of revenue, which would by this time have enabled us to dis pense with so galling an infliction. The question then ought to be seriously considered in what way can its pressure and mode of collection be so modi fied as to render it an equitable tax , which it cer tainly is not, as at present levied. It is not just that income, which dies with its possessor, should be made to pay the same rate as real property, which can be heired or bequeathed ; or that profits in trade should be taxed one year, which may be swept away the next by corresponding losses. The monster grievance however, is the mode in which the farmer is taxed, entirely irrespective of any in come or profit whatever. It can scarcely be asserted that agricultural pursuits are at present remunera tive, or that the cultivator of the soil, under free trade, has any income at all, arising out of his avo. cation. If he is not paying rent out of his capital, be is .giving his industry for nothing; and it i 2 grossly unfair that his contribution to the wants of the state should be measured by the amount of his burthens and not of his earnings. It is time, we repeat, that this subject should be grappled with ; but, in the mean while, a portion of the community who contribute largely to the amount raised by this tax have a remedy within their own reach. The last financial statement showed no decrease in the proceeds of the revenue raised under this head. The anticipated revenue for this year is not decreased. Yet can it be denied that the trading classes of Great Britain have, during the past two years, been doing a most unsatisfactory business? It would be within the mark to assume that the average income of these classes has diminished by one half ; yet from false pride, a delicacy about confessing deteriorated circumstances, or some other motives, the tax col lector is allowed to dip his hands into their pockets, to the same extent as in more prosperous times, and the Government to boast of increased remune ration, reaped by the industry of the country. It is painful, no doubt, to tradesmen to submit their affairs to such an ordeal as is required in order to show to the proper official parties the real result of their business. We believe, however, that the extent of the difficulty, as to this matter, is exaggerated. Whatever it may he, it is obvi. ously a duty which every tradesman owes to him self and his family—we may add to his creditors— to take care that he does not submit to be taxed for profits which he has never earned. There is this fact, too, which ought to encourage such par ties to• make appeals wherever they feel that they are over-rated, viz., that they will find themselves in rather a numerous company. For one man who is making as much by his business now as five years ago, ninety-nine are not making half as much ; and the result of a general appeal against the assumptions of the commissioners would only establish the fact, which most people are compelled to admit, that, from whatever cause it may he, the commerce and industry of the country are not in a healthy condition. THE recent conduct of Government, with respect to Sunday postal regulations, has been a blunder from the first, followed up by the infliction of studied insult to the feelings of a large and respect able majority of the nation. In obedience, no doubt, to the promptings of a small section of very liberal, and we trust disinterested persons, t lbe, authorities of the post-office, with the sanction or course of the ministry, commenced some mcdifica tions of the system at present existing in St. Martin's le Grand, by which increased facilities were to be afforded for the delivery of letters on the Sunday. The attendance of a few clerks and sorters only for a few hours during that day, would we were told, be all that would be required ; a very small portion of the wedge was all that was sought to be introduced ; but the public knew the men. It saw in prospect further encroachments upon the day of rest, which would not end until at length vans both red and black, with general carriers and twopenny carriers, would be met rumbling along the streets of the metropolis, and the tide of com merce and correspondence become as rapid and as absorbing on the Sabbath as on the remaning six days of the week. The public, we repeat, knew the men ; it took the alarm, and raised at once from every quarter of Great Britain a protest so energetic and so influential, that the authors of the change shrunk back abashed, and finally re duced their measure to so pigmy a shape that a majority of the House of Commons put their feet upon it,-and not only crushed it, but gave effect to the dethand which its proposition had created throughout the length and breadth of the land, by prohibiting Sunday deliveries altogether in the pro vinces, as well as the metropolis. One would naturally have imagined that a Government seeking to carry out honestly the wish of the people—and if they believed that the House of Commons' decision was not in accordance with such wish, why did they not make at least an attempt to reverse it ?—would have studied to make such arrangements as would have rendered its car rying out productive of as little general inconveni ence as possible. An extra delivery in a few of our large towns, the acceleration of a mail, or an addi tional mail on one day of a week, with proper no tice to the public to mature their arrangements for the change, would have been all that was required. Instead of this, Government seem to have acted throughout in a spirit dictated by the wish to raise a clamour, arising out of the inconvenience created, against any cessation of Sunday labour. No suffi cient notice was given to the public; no satisfac tory arrangements made to meet any temporary inconvenience which might he felt; and the result has been—what was doubtless intended by Govern ment—to create amongst parties who have hitherto been lukewarm upon the subject great dissatisfac tion and outcry against the measure. The liberal and utilitarian press has plied the public ear with letters representing in every possible shape imagin ary grievances. Mothers in the provinces were to be debarred receiving letters on the Sunday calling them to the sick beds or the death-beds of sons in 'London. Additional Sunday desecration was to be caused by the transmission of parcels or special messengers on such emergencies. All the while, however, it has been omitted to be noticed that the same difficulty has existed, and has not been com plained of, owing to non-delivery in, and transmis sion of letters from, the metropolis upon the Sab bath. The " Great Wen"—the centre through which the postal communication from the northern to the southern counties of Great Britain passes — has enjoyed Sabbatical rest for years; but the pro vinces are to have no conscience,—no enjoyment of a day set apart for rest from the cares and thoughts of the world. We were prepared for such a hubbub as that which has been kicked up with respect to this matter, to emanate from the ultra - radical portion of the community,—in other towns , however, exce pt our own. For some time past,—to their credit be it said—there has been a growing disinclination on the part 'of the liberal merchants and trades. men of this town, of all sects, to receive their let ters on a Sunday, as any post-office clerk in at tendance at the delivery boxes will avouch. The letters, in nine cases out of ten, we believe, have rarely been called for on the sabbath. But we were neither prepared to find the factious cry against the measure swelled by such an organ as our contemporary the would-be organ of the Church of England of Liverpool, nor defended uPort grounds so preposterous as those taken up in his last publication. It is grievous, in the eyes of our contemporary, that the London Sunday papers—the Dispatch, Era, Bell's Life, &c., &c.— should not be delivered on that day, to form the amusement of our population before, after, or, we presume, during church hours. To prevent the delivery of such journals, we are told, is " de strneffod , o; +property." Ch arg i ng s t amp d u ti es mi. s u c k pin's, if we do not deliver them on Sun by fraudulent days, " leasaad as raising money Eiberpool &tanbarli. pretences. It is a financial operation which would disgrace Spain, Portugal, or even the pickpocket monarchy of Greece !" Our contemporary is sensitively alive to the danger which will arise to the morality of our post-office officials from the cessation of Sunday labour. He says : " In the first place, the regulation will have the effect of encouraging every postmaster and his wife, or his, daughter, to violate the sabbath by travelling, jaunting, and junketing on that day—in running O'er some popu-, lar preacher and deserting their parish church, or in visiting distant friends, or the wonders of railways." An awful thing, that running after popular preachers ! To stop it, however, and to preserve his compositors and others from the possibility of such an enormity, why should he not put them to Sunday work ? Then, he continues, the Sunday papers " will not lose their provincial circulation without a struggle." They are going to employ hosts of boys, with horns, and what not, to circu late their trash throughout the provincial towns on the Sabbath. Let them do so. It would be volun tary and individual sin and labour. instead of nationally enforced sin and labour ; and as for the horns, &c., perhaps the law would be strong enough to pretent the nuisance. Our contempo rary is sensitive also as to the possibility of " mer cantile letters, sporting letters, gambling letters," &c., being enclosed in parcels, instead of going respectably through the Postoffice. We should willingly risk this rather than encourage either the receipt or the despatch of some of those letters on the Sunday. But on religious grounds (!) our contemporary opposes the closing of the Postoffice on the Sabbath day. He says : " The Christian sabbath is not, and ought not to be, the Jewish sabbath. When our blessed Saviour, in his humanity, was baptised, the ceremonial strictness of the Levitical law expired. The law and the prophets were until John." We presume, then, that the rest of the decalogue —the prohibition of theft and murder, for instance —as well at that commandment which bids us " remember and keep holy the Sabbath day," may he dispensed with, now that " the strictness of the Levitical law has expired" I Our contemporary talks of bigots and puritans, pharisees, tyrants, despots, &c., as being the origi 7 nators of this measure. We refer him, in reply, to the following list Of its avowed supporters in Li verpool, published in February last, and composed, as he will admit, of men of all religious creeds, and the reverse of being tainted with either bigotry or' . cant : LIVERPOOL LAY ASSOCIATION FOR CLOSING THE POST-OFFICES ON SUNDAY.

Secretaries. ARCHIBALD T. RiTcnlE, A report of the mee!ing held here yesterday will show that these gentlemen are faithfully and quietly doing all they can to meet the exigency of the case. Mr. Locke brings forward a motion on Tuesday next, to rescind the recent resolution of the House of Commons. We would suggest to our readers that it is highly desirable for them, as numerously as possible, to make known, in the interim, privately, by letter, to our borough and county members their wishes on the subject. " Long and loud continued cheering," we are told, followed the announcement, of the result of the division in favour of Mr. Roebuck's White washing motion. A majority of 46, absolving government, of which 41 were placemen, is truly a matter to boast of, especially considering the num ber cf stray fish which fell into the ministerial basket. In fact, their opponents as well found themselves afflicted with some unwonted compa nions in the lobby. A more singular admixture of parties on both sides, more significant of a break up, has rarely been witnessed at the conclusion of a motion involving the fate of a government. The. most singular feature connected with the whole affair is the changed and prominent position taken up by Sir James Graham, Mr. Gladstone, and others, in opposition to ministers. The general impression has been, with respect to their move ment, that it was a biduing for official station ; and although we disbelieve the rumours which have, been current, as to a specific arrangement made between this party and the Protectionists, it must he admitted that their movements betray symp-- toms of a disposition to turn hack in the political march. The government, notwithstanding their narrow majority, which honourable statesmen in past times would regard as a defeat, obviously intends to hold last the reins of power. We are most glad of it. . . The: protectionist party are not as yet prepared to assume office ; - the public'mind is not quite ripe for a change of policy ; the effects of the experiment of free trade have not yet reached the obtuse minds of mankind ; and, in the meantime, the Whigs are happily powerless for further serious harm. Their organs are chuckling at present over the prospect of a further improvement in the coming quarter's revenue—how*derived it would puzzle a philosopher to tell. Customs and excise are flourishing—. taxes drawn from a perishing people are increasing in productiveness—and this is prosperity ! That People, however, will awake from their dream ; the juggle will ultimately be seen through ; and England's industry and England's high reputation for honour amongst the nations will be restored to that once pre-eminent position, from which they have been prostrated by Whig imbecility, and venal love of official power and pay. Ws give in another part of our paper a docu ment, for which we are indebted to the kindness of Mr. R. - Burn, of Manchester, compiler of the Com mercial Glance, which will he perused with interest by many of our readers. It consists of a return, made out from the Custom-house entries, of the cotton imported into Liverpool in 1815 ; the coun tries whence imported, and the names of the con- ; signees. Amongst the latter will be found those of some firms scarcely remembered by the present generation, and of many of the founders of our existing mercantile establishments. Apart from its attraction as a curiosity, it is impossible not to be struck with the great change which it shows to have,taken place in the extent of the imports, their source, and the distribution of this important raw material. The total number of bales imported into Liverpool in 1815 was 267,926 ; last year it amounted to 1.732,727 bales; such bales being ge nerally one third heaviei than those of the former period. The United States, during the year 1815, did not contribute above half of our supply, a large quantity being derived from our own colonies, and those of our intimate allies, Spain and Portu gal. Last year, the United States supplied us with 1,383,027 bales out of 1,732,727 bales, or above three-fourths. Our West Indian colonies supplied us with more in one month of 1815 (April) than during the whole of 1849. From Berbice and Demerara alone, we received in April, 1815, 8,232 bales, which were consigned in 63 different parcels to various houses, thus showing the large extent to which the trade of Liverpool was interested in these colonies. Not above three or four of the houses in question, or those descended from them, retain their connexion with the West Indies. A striking lesson, as showing the danger of being dependent upon any single country for our supply of so im portant a raw material as cotton, is to be derived from the fact that in the first three months of 1815 we did not receive a single package from the United States, and in the fourth only three small shipments. Our relations with that country had been previ• ously disturbed • and poor though she was—as is evident from the circumstance that her monetary transactions were carried on by notes representing as low an amount as one cent each (a halfpenny)— she was able to hold back her crop, to our great inconvenience, until the termination of hostilities, and only resumed her shipments a few months after the signing of the treaty of peace in December, 1814. It will be perceived that in only one month of 1815 we had an import of cotton from the East Indies-1,484 in September. This was the first cargo ever received in. Liverpool or any other out port, and was thus referred to in the Times at the date of its arrival : " We congratulate our readers on the arrival at Liver pool of the Kingsmill, Captain Cassels, belonging to Messrs. Gladstone and Grant, being the first East India ship that has arrived since the participation of the out ports in this branch of commerce. She has been absent fifteen months, and has made a prosperous voyage. Her Cargo consists of cotton, sugars, indigo, piece goods, and pisces." T 'L STANDAR.. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY fikPORT: Monday Nighi. There has been a good inquiry for - Sugar since the publication of the Broker's Circular; but as , the reduc in the duty of is. will take place on the sth, several of the large holders are waiting in the hope of reaping the advan tage ; otherwise the sales would have been larger. On Saturday, 150 hhds. Demerara and 500 bags Bengal were sold ; also , a sago' of Mauritius, at 369. 6d., to the refiners. To-day, 150 hhds. Porto Rico, 500 bags Bengal, and 50 hhds. Antigua. at extreme rates. There is rather a better feeling for Coffee, and the maaket is firm. The commoner sorts of 'lea are much sought for, and there is little to be had of common Congous wider 4d. per lb. 300 tons of Jamaica Logwood were sold to-day at £3 7s. 6d. to £4 per ton. _ . Scotch Pig Iron receded from 455. 6d. to 445. 6d. during the last week, and the reduction having caused some large transactioss, the price is now firm at 455. for mixed numbers. Bars are firm at £4 12s. 6d. to £4 155., f.o.b. in Wales, and at £5 to £5 2s. 6d. f.o.b. here. Manchester letters state that a decided improvement has taken place in the demand and value of most descrip tions of Cotton goods and yarns during the last few days, it being the general opinion that the raw material will at least maintain its present advance for some time to come ; and as stocks are unusually light, and no advantage can be reasonably expected by deferring purchases, many parties who have litterly withheld their orders are again appearing in the market. A large business was transacted on. Saturday in Cotton : speculators operated very freely, and prices were rather higher. The sales reached 10,000 bales, of which 4.500 were taken on speculation, and 500 for export. The intelligence received from America to-day has further strengthened the confidence of holders, inducing a large demand both from the - trade and speculators. Prices, however, were not marked by any decided change, although the highest rates were readily obtained ; and the sales amounted to 10,000 hales, 4,000 of which were on specu lation for export.—A comparison of the sta'istics of the present year with those of 1849 shows a decrease in the imports of 384.093 bales, and in the quan ity taken for consumption of 80,253 bales, the weekly deliveries for the latter having been 29,652 bales in 1850, against 32,738 bales in 1849, with an increase in the quantity taken for export of 5,300 bales. The stock in the ports is estimated at 608,500 bales, against 855,300 bales, the estimate in 1849; but the stock at the end of last year, it will be re membered, proved to be 90,000 bales more than the estimate. The half-yearly general meeting of the Canada Company was held in London on Thursday, when it was stated that that the receipts for the half-year ending June 6, 1850, had nearly doubled those of the corresponding period of 1849, being relatively £12,390 and £22.240; and the chairman stated that the social affairs of the country were considered so promising that he had no hesitation in re commending that a dividend of 6 per cent, upon the paid. up capital should be declared for the half-year. The vacillations in the grain markets throughout the United Kingdom have been very trivial for many weeks past, and the aggregate average value of wheat for the six weeks ending the 22d ult.—i. e. 40s.—may be taken as about the probable average for some time to come. Our prospects of an abundant crop at home will effectually arrest any effort to procure a further advance of moment ; whilst the limited supplies from the States,and the continued firm. ness of the continental markets, as certainly prevent any material depreciation. If the potatoes come forward in Ireland better than last year, a proportionate depression must be felt in the demand for Indian corn, which is at pre sent bought very cautiously for consumption, and is quoted in the latest circulars from 2s. 6d. to ss. per ton cheaper. The Limerick market on Saturday was well supplied with new potatoes, of fine quality, with no appearance what ever of disease, at the very moderate price of 7d. to Bd. per 151bs. Potatoes have been especially benefitted by the late forcing heat, and the alarm felt for some weeks respecting their slow growth is daily becoming less, and the rumours about the blight have ceased altogether in some districts. Since Friday last, the trade generally has ruled exceedingly quiet ; only a very moderate amount of business done in the articles of Wheat and Flour at that day's quotations ; holders, at the same time, evince great firmness ; and were it not for the very propitious weather, an advance would, no doubt, take place. Owing to the favourable accounts from Ireland with respect to the crops, and more particularly of Potatoes, the article of Indian Corn to-d a y h as un d ergone a further material decline of is. per qr. upon yellow, and 6.1. ger qr. upon white, prime yellow lying now obtainable at 265. 6d., and white 275. to 275. 6d. We may as well mention that this article has fallen from 335. 6d. to 265. and 265. 6d. per qr. in the course of four weeks, being a fall of 7s. per qr. The imports, in comparisoe with those of last year at this time, are exceedingly small. From Friday last to the cicse of the week the arrivals coastwise and from Ireland are again very trivial; those from the American States, how. ever, comprise nearly 12,000 qrs. of Indian Corn, with 4.414 barrels of Flour ; we have also received 5,716 qrs. of Wheat from Europe and Egypt, and nearly 4,000 sacks of Flour from France. We have again bad a quiet week in the Share Market — prices being steady at about the average of the week pre ceding. To-day's business, however, has been done at a slight decline ; but this has been caused only by specula tive sales 9n the part of bears, in an attempt, by alarming the public, to bring in stock, that they themselves may be supplied,—a kind of business almost invariably succeeded by a strong reaction. The quotations are :—Leeds stock, 344 ; Do. .£32-shares 10 2/8 dis. ; London stock, 1094-; Do., quarters, p.; Do., fifths, k p. ; Midland stock, 35i ; Do., 1-shareS, 26 3 9 4- 6/3 dis. ; Newcastle pref., 4 18/9 dis. ; Royal Assurance, I p. Messrs, Holme, Slater, and Crook, in their monthly timber circular, published on Friday last, make the fol lowing remarks on the recent meeting to consider the best site for the trade, which we quote, without further com ment " That such a resolution-should have been carried, waCcer tainly in direct contradiction of the proposed object of the Com mittee of Enquiry, which was formed to select the cheapest and most convenient site for the accomtnodation of this bulky trade. " The complaint was, that other Ports,—although not so con veniently situated as regards the American ports as the Mer sey,—to which higher rates of freight have to be paid, are enabled, owing to the facilities for discharging the cargoes of the vessels, the cheap method of storing, the low rate of rent and local taxes, to compete with and beat us out of the markets which should be supplied by this port. The high charges at Liverpool were the cause of complaint. And the duty of the Committee was to find a site in the Mersey where this reduc tion of charges might be accomplished. Flow they have done it is seen by the resolution. Now, is this consistent ? They complain of the present high rent and taxes—they complain of competition from cheaper ports ; but when a cheaper locality is offered they will not have it, but wish to r em a in in their old poSition, with their old fashioned and antiquated machinery, in preference . to low rents, modern improvements, and such facilities as would enable them to compete with any port in England or Scotland. " The accommodation required was to be had at Bir enhead —with a dock of one hundred and fifty acres, where the vessels may discharge their cargoes into the water with yards inter sected by canals, and rails connected with every railway in England, Scotland and Wales ; and furnished with cranes for loading, piling, and landing the timber. Contrasting the ex pense of carrying on the business by the method established in Liverpool, shews a saving in favour of this place, in dock dues £7OOO per annum ; in team hire discharging vessels, .e 5500 ; team hire yielding, .e9OOO ; team hire shipping off, .eI6OO ; £5OOO in porterage ; and .e6OOO in yard rents and taxes ; alto gether, the very nice sum of .e 48,500 per annum might lave been saved 1 Surely. this amount is inducement sufficient to call the attention of the importers and Livel pool merchants. If they do not take advantage of these favorrble circumstances, they may be quite certain that other and more enterprising persons will avail themselves of this opportunity of entering this formerly close trade, and successfully compete with the Liverpool merchant in any market. Thus, to the importer will he saved the sum or £5OOO in drawing out the cargoes, and 41000 for dock dues on timber ; and owners of vessels could never have to complain of detention for want of room for discharging. And the consumers would certainly save £16,000 per annum in shipping expenses, besides a considerable reduc tion in the rates of carriage inland, as the carriers would not have to rent expensive wharves as they do at present in Liver pool." Thearrivals of timber from British North America into the docks of the Mersey since the 31st ultimo containing timber are, 6 vessels, 3,173 tons ; from the Baltic 10 ves sels, 3,222 tons. The consumption of wood goods during the month is about an average one for this period, and prices continue steady at our last quotations. During the month there have been several auction sales, at which the attendance had been very respectable, and, considering the season, a fair amount of business has been transacted. The most important event connected with the timber trade which has occurred latterly, was undoubtedly the meeting reported in our last, at which it was determined, that the trade should be continued in the present locality. We are indebted to the circular of Messrs. W. Greame and Co., published this day, for the following summary of the months' business : " The improved feeling in the Wool Market noted in our last circular has been more fully confirmed during the past month, and prices on some descriptions—particularly on long stapled Wools—have advanced considerably ; at the late fairs in the country an advance of Id. per lb. has been paid currently for the new clip of English and Irish Wool. On the 13th ult. 3093 bales Buenos Ayres, East India, and other low Foreign Wools were offered by auction here ; there was a good deal of compe tition for the Buenos Ayres, which realised full pi ices ; East India sold at about previous rates •, Turkey, Smyrna, &c., &c., were chiefly withdrawn. The public sales of colonial Wools commenced in London on the same day, this series comprises about 50,c00 ; there is a good attendance, and the sales are progressing favourably, particularly for the best marks, for which there is a good deal of competition ; inferior descriptions of short and had conditioned Wools are selling rather lower, aboutil (I. per lb. under May prices. " Australian, Cape, Spanish, and Spanish frontier Wool, of these descriptions, with exception of 641 bales Adelaide, ex " Ellerslie," the market continues very bare ; good Lisbon and frontier Wools are enquired for, and would sell readily at our quotations. Buenos Ayres and Entre Rios still continue in good demand, and prices fully supported. East India, there is more enquiry, and improved prices are looked for ; stocks very light. Egyptian, Turkey, Smyrna, &c., we have more enquiry for these Wools, particularly long stapled parcels, which are now held at an advance of id. per lb. on previous rates. Rus sian, considerable sales have been made within the last few days of Donskoi Fleece at full prices, Gild. to 7d. ; Peruvian Sheep's no alteration ; stocks light and prices fully supported. Alpaca, some large sales have been made during the month, and the market is now quite cleared ; the late arrivals were all sold ex ship, and contracts have been made to arrive. Irish Butter has varied little .since our last: the top price (for Waterfords) is 68s. to 695. The fluctuations in the English funds during the past month shew a range of 11 per cent for Consols. The ge neral,tendencv hes been towards advance, if we except that portion of last week, during the debate, when, con sidering the abundance and value of money, it was consi dered that the price of public securities was depressed below their value. Ministers, however, having escaped once more, an improvement of - per cent was effected on Saturday, and after a large speculative business, Consols left off at 961 to American Provisions. — A large quantity of Beef hay lng unexpectedly v e'ele the market has ruled d u ll, andthe the k have been very small, b u t ' sales fo r w lower pricia have not been acceded to.

No fewer than 578 members were present, and in the majority forty-one were placemen, so that the government had a real majority of only five.

Cubitt, Admiral Bowles, &c. In the minority we find the names of E. Cardwell, Sir P. Egerton, W. T. Egerton, J. Tollemache, J. Bailey, J. Bright, R. Cobden, T. M. Gibson, W. Gladstone, 11.

The Morning Herald of yesterday thus speaks of the efforts made by government to obtain a majority :—" Did Ministerial officials resort to no unjustifiable deuces for the purpose of swelling their own numbers, of alarming and fising wavering voters, and of thinning the ranks of their opponents ? Yes, they did. They endeavoured, by paid emissaries and by means of revolutionary placards, to excite a popular demonstration, which the good sense of the people alone rendered ineffectual. By their under lings they threatened an immediate dissolution of parlia ment, though they well knew that they dared not venture upon such a suicidal act. No intrigue was omitted—no species of cajolery was left untried : resort was had even to practices hitherto unknown in parliamentary warfare. An absent member was paired a second time, although he bad already once gone through that mockery ; and thusan effective Conservative voter was delusively hurried out of town by this crafty device. We firmly believe, that since the nororiously-corrupt days of Sir R. Walpole such prac tices as we denounce, and which we do upon no common authority, have never been perpetrated within the walls of Parliament ; we are sure, at least, that they have not been known of." SINGULAR PORTUGUESE REPROCITY. It is a fact, perhaps not generally known, that some years ago, in retaliation against a measure brought for ward by the late Lord Sydenham (then Mr. Poulett Thomson) to equalize the duties upon French and Portu guese wines, the Government of Portugal seized hold of the opportunity of imposing an export duty of £5 a pipe upon all Portuguese wines coming to Europe, leaving, however, untaxed such wines as were shipped to the United States and other countries across the Atlantic. The ope ration was cunningly performed, although undoubtedly levelled against Great Britain exclusively, our own coun try being the chief consumer of Portuguese wines. There are two rates levied, it seems, upon distinctiue classes of wine. The approved wines for export pay a sort of local impost, whilst those set apart for home consumption pay nothing. A further export tax is levied upon the approved wines shipped to Europe, making, in all, somewhere about £5 to £5 per pipe. A practice has, therefore, grown u p of shipping such wines to the United States, or Canadian ports, from whence they are reshipped to Great Britain, in order to save the direct export duty, whilst, however, the expenses incurred are rather large. It is suspected, moreover, that some of the unapproved wines, upon which no local duty is paid, find their way to America for reship ment. A regulation has been recently issued from the Portuguese authorities, by which the owners of wines shipped to America must give a bond that such wines shall remain in warehouse there for four months pre viously to being brought to Europe, thereby incurring the expense upon the transaction. It is a little singular that such an unfair tax upon the British consumers of Portuguese wines should escape the prompt notice of the legislature in these days of recipro city and free trade. It Portugal is allowed to raise a ma terial portion of her necessary revenue out of the pockets of the British consumer, why not the countries of the north of Europe, or America, do the same, by laying an export duty upon their grain or cotton ? tThe one is no more defensible than the other would be ; and the case, as regards Portugal, is the more annoying, inasmuch as that country, in addition to having cost us a large amount of blood and treasure to preserve her territory from foreign aggression, had been up to the time of Whig domination at home, a valuable consumer of British goods. We recommend this subject to the notice of parliament and the public. It is far more worthy of such notice than the petty debts due from Greece to Jews and others, of which we have constituted ourselves of late the collectors, vi el armis. SHIP DAMAGED BY LIGHTNING.—Letters received from Falmouth mention a serious accident to an emigrant ship, on Thursday last, off the Eddystone Light ifouse, by lightning. The vessel was a Norwegian barque, with 200 passengers, bound to Quebec. About three o'clock she encountered a fearful storm of lightning and thunder, in the course of which the electric fluid struck the main mast, splitting it into fragments, and knocking down several of the crew who were on deck. Many of them were most seriously injured. The vessel immediately put into Falmouth to make good the damage. has been made on Shoulders. Hams remain as before. There has been an active business in Lard, the sales reaching to about 160 tons, at over last week's prices. Cheese sells slowly, at late rates. For Tallow there has been a steady inquiry. Grease Butter, being now in abundant supply, is more difficult to move. INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL CONDITION OF LIVERPOOL IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF FREE TRADE. NO. 11. The building trades of Liverpool, for many years, whilst her commerce was extending and her population rapidly increasing, afforded employment to a numerous class of skilled artisans and labourers, as well as custom to trades men, shopkeepers, &c. Up to within the past two years a large business was going on in building, which received its first check in the summer of 1847, when the pressure upon the money market put a stop almost entirely to the operations of one class—the jerry builders, and parties who derived their funds from building societies, mortga gees, &c. The same pressure was felt also by much more responsible and sound persons. In 1848, the building carried on was chiefly to complete works already begun ; and a great amount of distress amongst the operative classes connected with the trade, must have ensued, but for the employment which chanced to , be afforded to a portion of them by the fact of two railways being brought through the heart of the town, requiring viaducts, bridges, &c., to be erected, and by a few public buildings in pro gress of completion. Last year, the proceedings of the Health Committee, acting under the sanitary act, which empowered them to close entirely a number of cellar and court habitations, which were considered as likely to ge nerate illness amongst the inhabitants, were expected to give a material stimulus to the building of cottage houses especially. Yet operations proved far below the average of preceding years; and during the present spring, the trades in question have been greatly depressed. Yet there were circumstances which were calculated to inspire hopes of a different state of things. A quantity of property, well tenanted, chiefly by the middle and respectable operative classes, had been removed to form the site of the viaduct of the Lancashire and Yorkshire and East Lancashire Railways into Tithebarn-street. A considerable quantity of property had also been removed in the formation of the new tunnel from the Loudon and North-Western Railway to the north docks. A ma's of warehouses and dwelling-houses are also being taken down upon the site of the intended Wapping Dock ; and it was generally anticinated that this property would have to be replaced. Such, however, has not proved to be the case. New houses have not sprung up to any extent in any part of the town ; and the condition of the operative classes, in consequence, has been anything but prosperous. A few have been employed upon the public buildings going on—the new Workhouse, St. George's Hall, &c.—another portion, consisting of men of the best character, and natives of the town, have been kept on by their employers, possibly at a sacrifice of both convenience and money ; but, of the remaining bands a large portion have left the town, or are employed upon casual jobs. At the preient moment there is a trifling revival in the trade, which, however, is not expected to continue long, consisting as it does chiefly of repairing, rebuilding shop fronts, &c.; and the prospect for the next winter is considered by parties well able to judge to be most unpromising. So little, indeed, is any permanent revival expected for some time to come, that the manufacture of bricks has almost entirely ceased. Notwithstan.;ing the temptation held out by the abolition of the duty, one firm, hitherto the largest makers in this town, having had a few years ago as many as forty stools in operation, only carry on now three, and those merely to work up some material, whilst another maker, who generally worked thirty to thirty -five, has not one ! This branch, it is well known, has, in past years, afforded re munerative employment to numerous hands, consisting of both males, females, and children. As a proof of the decrease in building, we give the fol lowing, which has been furnished to us by Mr. Rishton : Return of the number of dwelling-houses erected, or in course of erection, within the municipal borough of Liverpool from the Ist of January to the Ist of July, 1850 : Under £l2 per From £l2 to From £25 to From -€35 annum £25 -t•35 upwards Total 9 _ 126 37 . . 33 905. It will be seen that the bulk of these 205 dwellings are rented from £l2 to £25, which confirms a fact stated to us, and referred to below, that the class of property so rented is the most remunerative and best paid in Liver pool. Tie return is slightly above that for the corres ponding period of last year ; but when our readers are re minded that 'five years ago the number of dwellings erected, and in course of erection, in this town, during the twelve months, amounted in round numbers to 3,706, the falling off will be readily seen. There may be mentioned a few exceptions, amongst the working classes, of parties who are reaping the benefit of the reduced prices of food and other necessaries. A large number of men ate employed in the various works which are being carried on by the Dock Committee ; and these, of course, being in constant work, are, or ought to be, in possession of increased means. Their proslerity must also operate to increase that of the tradespeople and others dependent upon them, principally at the north end of the town. But it is undeniable that the condition of :he working classes in the aggregate has greatly deterio rated within the past few years, on account of the great diminution which has taken place in employment. As an index of the condition of the community, gene rally, the evidence of rent and other collectors is most valuable; and we have accordingly made every effort to obtain information from these parties, with respect to various sections of the town. In the northern districts, especially the localities inhabited by the Trish portion of the working classes, consisting of dock labourers, porters, hawkers, and others, rents have never been very well collected, and are now very unsatisfactorily paid. A large number of families in this quarter of the town are little better than squatters in miserable property, con demned by the' authorities as untenant able under the pro visions of the sanatory act, or they herd together in filthy hovels so held as to enable them to evade the byelaws for the regulation of common lodging-houses. The ces sation of the building trade has thrown a large amount of this population out of honest employment ; and how they subsist at all is matter of wonder. There have always been great fluctuations, however, in the condition of this class, although it has been deteriorated recently by conti nual accessions of numbers from the sister isle, ready to struggle in any way fora meal. The mode in which the classes immediately above them, consisting of artizaes and persons of settled pursuits, fulfil their eneeeements, forms a more correct guide to the general condition of the operative portion of the t own ; and amongst these we find a very material falling off. The collectors in every quarter of the town represent the property tenanted by these classes as being let with diffi culty, and at declining rents, which are ill paid, and a per . tion of them lost altogether. Property of the better de. scription—say from £3O per annum and upwards to £45 and £so—is both difficult to let and collect, and especially that portion of it which is occupied by the middle class of tradesmen and shopkeepers. These classes are generally declining in station, and many of them falling into insol vency. Indeed, we are assured that it is only by severe struggling and economy that the bulk of them have thus far managed to keep their heads above water. Amongst the higher classes—parties who cannot be suspected of actual poverty—procrastination is becoming the rule; and pressure has frequently to be resorted to in order to se cure the fulfilment of engagements within a reasonable period. The best class of property in the town, the rental of which is most easily collected, consists of houses from £lB to £24 per annum, tenanted chiefly by respectable clerks permanently employed, and other parties, to whom unimpeached credit and character are imEspensible. As a natural result of this state of things, we find that a very considerable depreciation has taken Ogre in the value of building land and property, not only within the borough but in the outskirts as well, and on the Cheshire side of the river. We mention the latter localities particularly, because we know it is said that it is a high rate of taxation which is driving our population from within the borough to settle in the suburbs. In some measure it may have been the case that respectable housekeepers have endeav oured to evade heavy rates, and at the same time to pro cure for themselves, in the suburban districts, the inestim able advantages of pure air as conducive to health ; but the broad tact is, we repeat, that property has depreciated in value everywhere in the neighbourhood ; and we attri bute it to the difficulty which is felt in paying existing rents. A proof of this depredation was afforded by the result of a side of property—or rather an attempted sale —by Messrs. Winstanley and Sons, on Friday last, the result of which is thus described by a free trade contem porary, the Journal : " There were nineteen lots, but only one sale was effected, namely, two freehold dwelling-houses, with stabling at the back, situated in Itathbone-street, which was knocked down for '5OO. A valuable lot of property in Park-lane, consisting of a licensed spirit-vaults, a pawnbroker's, and three other shops, a public-house, and two dwelling-houses, was bid for to the amount of two thousand four hundred pounds, but was withdrawn. the reserve being £3.300. An excellent family house, at- Wavert ree, with gardens. &c., containing 1,030 square yards of land, was competed for to the extent of .e 760, the reservecontaining b nt e g. i e n rl g r, gy . 7c l so ,2 qm o u O ma . raen A yd v nr i yards aao, of land i ea t w i n ] g io. a fb r d rt o e h u n e g s l a . ti n r be d ri d o t ien b r gs u se i y d t o i n at g nh s de , amount of .050, the reserve on this lot being also .t 1,900. The principal lot was a plot of land at Aighurth, about 22 acres, with an excellent mansion erected upon it, with gardens, out buildings, &c. The biddings for this lot went as high as £ll,OOO, but the highly-persuasive eloquence of the auctioneer did not result in obtaining an advance, and it was also with drawn. This property, a year ago, was va l ued at £2l,ooo.The highest offer, on this occasion, did not cover the amount of the mortgage. The remaining lots, consisting of shops, dwelling-houses, &c. in good thoroughfares in the town, were all withdrawn without getting a bid for them." The property here offered, it will be seen, was not town property alone; but comprised some of the most favourite country sites. Nor is it difficult to account for the disap pointed expectations of the parties offering it. They fix ed their price, doubtless, in accordance with the scale of rents hitherto realized for such property, which during the past three or four years has been gradually declining, until at the present moment it is difficult to procure respectable tenants, except at a considerable reduction. One of our o leading agents for h ouse h o ld p ro p er ty considers that 30 per cent. is no t an over est i ma t e of the extent of the depreciation ; and similar estimates are made by otherc parties. trouble of visiting the different quer leading streets few years ago, when a portion sofS the Anne-street, and the district, That this will is b g e e general, evident d t o not an y c o n o fi nt n ee e r d sw i t oi o of arnhiyell town.parti s c articular in the eastern quarter—such a were removing westward ; and , s property erected in that fied by the quantity of first-class :cured tenants.
