We prefer, however, reserving these until we have made our enquiries more complete, and shall therefore proceed now to detail the result of our observations upon the condition of the working classes of the town, which, we feel confident, will startle many of our readers. These classes have been singled out as having been especially benefited by those measures, which have cheapened food and the other necessaries of life. They have now, it is said, a larger amount to bestow upon the comforts and decencies of life, and no reduction has as yet taken place in the rate of wages paid to them. This we find to be the case with a few exceptions ; but we also find that the employment of the bulk of these classes is no longer permanent. Many of them, receiving the same rate of wages, are only half-employed ; and some not even that. We shall give the facts relating to a few of these as nearly as possible in the words of the parties from whom we derived them. J. Cottier is a joiner in Toxteth-park, and his wife has for years kept a shop for the supply of the working classes in the neighbourhood, with groceries, &c. He has known Liverpool since the year 1806, since which the regular wages of his trade have not been much altered. There are now, however, no regular shops ; and employ ment being precarious, the amount earned has sensibly decreased. At present, and for the last three years, there has been nothing doing in the trade. Hundreds of the best workmen have left the country, and of those remain ing behind, about 1400 or 1500 are out of employment. All who could get away have gone ; and hundreds have left in an indebted state. Our informant mentioned several of this class within his own personal knowledge. The condition of the master tradesman has deteriorated equally with that of the workman. At present there is only one master in Toxteth-park who has got any work of importance in hand ; and this consists in the erection of one house, and the repairing of a shop ! Many have been compelled to discharge their apprentices, after having turned them to knife and shoe cleaning, and other menial ocmpations, as the only way in which they could employ them. The greatest source of employment now possessed by the trade consists of the fitting up of the steerage births, &c. of emigrant ships, which , having to be expeditiously done, require the occasional work of a number of hands. These, the most fortunate of them, however, do not earn on the average above 12s. a week. When one of these ships go out of port, the 20 or 30 hands which had been employed fitting her, are thrown idle until a new job is procured ; and he has seen as many , as 200 boxes of tools, arranged in rows in our docks, be longing to parties on the look-out for this sort of employ ment. The returns of his little shop have greatly fallen off, and numerous bad debts have been contracted, not withstanding every precaution in giving credit only to the honest. Where his wife formerly turned over £l5 a week in groceries, she turns over now less than £3. And even in the substitutes for a good meal, resorted to by the working poor, the consumption is less. For example, where she formerly sold 200 herrings per week, she can scarcely get through 50 now ! Philosophers, we dare say —men of large views, who look only at aggregate result*, CORRESPONDENCE. HOW TO PAY ;OR THE PIKE TO TDB EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD Sm.,—Having read the letters of Mr. Bancks, which have appeared in your valuable journal, on the subject of the Rivington Pike scheme, and the means of carrying it into effect without the aid of gold, or paying a large amount for interest, I am quite, convinced his plan is perfectly feasible. The same property that would guaran tee any sum borrowed by the Corporation, would equally provide for the safety of the paper money issued by them selves. If the money required for the undertaking were borrowed, the inhabitants of Liverpool would have not only to repay the capital sum, but also the interest, in the shape of higher rates. By the plan proposed by Mr. Bancks, the latter charge might be entirely saved. If the scheme would answer if carried into effect by means of borrowed capital, it would certainly answer much better if it could be effected without payment of interest, as the whole of the proceeds would go to the repayment of capi tal, or rather the taking up or retirement of the credit notes issued by the Corporation for the purpose. Nor can there be a doubt but, if the Corporation would call a public reeelng of the inhabitants, and propose a well-di gested plan for the accomplishment of the work by the issue of the credit-paper guaranteed by their property, and the means and method of its subsequent redemption, every class of persons would readily receive such money in payment. Such credit-paper would have a claim to preference in point of safety over the issues of any private bank, from the publicity of the property by which it would be guaranteed ; and it being issued for public pur poses, and chargeable with no interest, is an ample set off against its not being payable in gold by the Corporation, at the will of the holder, which is rather a nominal than a real advantage, as gold or other notes would be always ob tainable for such thoroughly safe money, when required for particular purposes. Though we profess to pay each other in hard cash, as it is called in the common daily transactions of business, yet it is obvious that all great transactions, and most of the details of trade, are carried on by means of credit-money. If any practical proof of the efficacy and safety of the plan proposed by Mr. Bancks be required, we have an ex cellent one in the erection of the Guernsey Meat Market, which was effected by guaranteed credit-paper issued by the authorities of the island, and duly redeemed by the proceeds of the market ; a brief account of which appeared in your paper of June 11, 1850.-1 am, sir, &c., PRUDENTIUS PROGRESS. [lf we were permitted to give the name of our corre spondent, his well-known reputation as a currency refor mer, and his perfect acquaintance with monetary science, would add very greatly to the weight of his valuable let ter.—En. L. S.] and judge of-a nation's condition from tables of imports and exports, will doubtless smile at this herring fact, as unworthy of their consideration.. Buti alas I " the sim ple annals of the poor" consist only of a series of such facts. The condition of the shipearpenters-of the port differs only from. that of the joiners, in the fact; that a portion of the depressed state of their trade is attributable to local causes, though only a portion. These men-most certainly feel not at all benefited by the advent of free trade,sor the cheap loaf, by which it has been accompanied. The vast amount of foreign tonnage, now frequenting - the port, is repaired only under circumstances of extraordinary emer gency ; and shipbuilding as a trade—the only one which gives constant employment to a portion of our carpenters —is rapidly leaving us. As the consequence of this state bf things; the - employment is only occasional ; and,- al though nominally, the wages of the workman still remain at ss. per day, 10s. per week is the real amount of their earnings, two days in the week being, on the authority of an intelligent foreman to one of our leading builders, the average amount of employment. As an instance of the precarious nature of the working carpenter's trade, we may mention that the week before last the number out of work was estimated at 1,500. Last week, owing to' a sudden press for repairs, scarcely a man could be found unemployed. This week a thousand may be idle ; and, next week, it is quite possible that 1,500 may again be wasting their strength and skill in idleness. And such fluctuations in the carpenters' condition must ever be the case, if they are to depend upon ship-repairing only, which some parties contend to be sufficient for them, and steps are not taken to restore the trade of ship-building, the only trade which can tempt such a body of men to remain in the port in sufficient numbers to furnish skilled labour enough for the execution of repairs when prompti tude is required. In the meantime it is painful to con template the domestic privations experienced by many of this once thriving class ; and to leave the gradual dilapida tion which dire necessity has caused in their once comfortably " plenished' cottages. Worst of all, both with them and the joiners, valuable tools, essential to their trade, have been compelled to be parted with at ruinous sacrifices. To such an extent, indeed, has this been the case, that we have been informed by respectable pawnbrokers that they have been compelled, in a great measure, to refuse these articles as pledges. In the course of our inquiries we were introduced to the still comfortable dwelling of W. Jones, situate in Dixon street, Toxteth-park. We beg to apologise to him for making public his name ; but it is one he need never be ashamed to own. So cleanly and neatly furnished a working man's home we never entered. Dixon's occu pation has been that of a shipsmith's labourer, and his efficiency and good character and conduct may be judged of by the fact that he was for 26 years in his last employ ment—Mr. Molyneux's—where he had charge of the proving machine, a most important department of the business. Nine months ago Mr. Molyneux was removed from his premises by the Dock Committee, who required the site for dock purposes, and, in the altered state of the trade, he preferred retiring to entering upon new pre mises, although, had he been permitted to remain, he would still have continued employing his old hands. Jones has realised a little property—two cottages—during his long period of hard toil, by the frugality of himself and his wife, upon which he manages to live. Notwithstanding his character, his intimate knowledge of the resisting power and quality of iron attained during his management of Mr. Molyneux's testing machine, he has not earned 2s. per week during the last 9 months, a portion of which he earned during a short employment (only a few days) at the corporation testing machine. Two more little histories of the life of an industrious working man must suffice for the present, as our limits are already exceeded. The first is that of Robert Barnes, lathcleaver. Toxteth-park, for 13 years, since the termi nation of his apprenticeship, working in Liverpool. During the first portion of that period—say 7 years—he was constantly employed. When the trade fell off he be took himself to keeping a little shop, which he continued for 2 years ; but, being without experience, did no good. Five years since he began portering, and, in the first three of these, made generally about 4 days a week. During the last two years his employment has not reached two months. Poor Barnes has out of this to keep a wife, who, fortunately for him, is industrious and striving, and three Yldren. _ _ _ The last experience, which we can give is that of Wm. Pooley, 9, Dover-street, Toxteth-park, a whitesmith, and a sober man of unimpeached character, as are those of all the parties whose names and cases we have brought forward. Pooley has recently been 12 weeks out of work. He was in his previous situation 12 months, during which time he had seldom employment for more that 2 days per week. Yet he is precisely the sort of man, although a little past the prime of life, whom one would imagine would be chosen as a confidential servant. About the year 1821 he was engaged by a most respectable iron firm, with whom he remained for 16 years. He was subsequently for 12 months at the Brunswick Foundry, 6 years at Messrs. Fawcett's, and subsequently at two other leading shops. Up to the last 4 years he was scarcely a week out of constant employment. But since then few constant shops were to be had, the men being engaged when a job comes in and dismissed when it is finished, either to seek other work or to wait until a fresh job comes in. When he first commenced working as a journeyman, wages were 255. per week constant, and he made 255. per week overtime. The wages for constant work would now be about 225. a-week, which, considering the greater cheapness of food and necessaries, would be equal to 30s. then. But, unfortunately, as with nearly all other trades, employment in this is only occasional, and the real weekly earnings much below the nominal rate. _ _ Before closing this first chapter of our enquiries, we beg to intimate to our readers that we shall be most glad to receive any information upon the subject which they embrace, which may be forwarded to us. Real names and addresses however must be given, not with a view to publication, but for our own satisfaction. We exclude no party and no class, our only object being to advance the cause of truth, and to furnish such information as to the condition of the various interests of the town, as may facilitate steps in the proper direction to repair any evil which may be found to exist. THE DUKEDOM OF MONTROSE.—Lord Crawford has made known his intention, in the event of his claim being successful, to apply to her Majesty for authority to change the title from " Duke of Montrose" to " Duke of Craw ford." The title of " Montrose," it is well known, has been hereditary in the noble house of Graham, as an earl dom, since the year 1505, as a marquisate since the year 1644, and as a dukedom since the year 1707. On Monday morning, about three o'clock, a most de structive fire broke out at No. 12, Phoenix-street, St. Giles's, London, which, in a comparatively short period, laid in ruins the property of several families, who were totally uninsured, and occasioned the death of two females while endeavouring to escape from the flames, besides causing serious personal injuries to other inmates, who were all in bed when the fire commenced. .• _ To THE LADIES.—At this period, when the beauty of the season invites to out-door enjoyment, the fair sex are. of necessity exposed to those influences which are peculi arly prejudicial to personal comfort and attraction. The solar heat produces on the delicate skin the permanent stain of tan, the disfigurement of freckle, and not unfre quently a discoloration and swelling, which gradually assume one of the multitudinous forms of eruption. During the ride, promenade, acquatic excursion, or while otherwise exposed to the scorching rays of the sun, ladies will find " ROWLANDS' KALYDOR" a most refreshing preparation for the compleetai, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, ying all heat and irri tability, and immediately affor • g the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the skin. Composed essential of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free fr all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful n its effects, Rowlands' Kalydor tends to neutralize t action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promo that healthy action of the microsco pic vessels, by whic 1 its general well-being and the beauty of its appearanc9/ are so essentially promoted. Freckles, sunburn, tan, sioots, pimples, flushes and discolourations i l are eradicate by its application, and give place to a deli cately soft, ear, and fair skin. Its purifying and refresh ing proper es have obtained its exclusive selection by Her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe, together with the elite of the aristocracy, from the sultry climes of India to the frozen realms of the Czar. The high reputa tion it bears induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer their spurious Kalydors for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is therefore im perative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowlands' Kalydor" are on the wrapper, and "A.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S PRIZE MODEL COTTAGES.—We have received a very neat little work, published by Messrs. Thos. Dean and Son, Threadneedle street, London, containing a detailed specification and estimate, with plans, sections, elevations, and working drawings for the construction and ventilation of a pair of cottages for agricultural labourers, for which the architect, 1 H. Goddard, Esq., of Lincoln, received the Royal Agri cultural Society's first prize. The front piece gives a perspective view of the cottages proposed. which certainly form as beautiful an ornament to the estate of any land owner as can well be conceived, and contrast most advan tageously with the ill-proportioned and unsightly struc tures which at present deform many a landscape, and of which the homes of the agricultural labourers of Great Britain principally consist. Externally, in fact they are miniature villas, and would invite most of the class for whom they are intended to habits of neatness and order, and would especially tend to infuse into the female portion of them a sort of housepride by affording them conveniences for cleansing, &c., of a description which do not at present exist. The object of the architect in laying out the interior has been, whilst affording every comfort, and household appliance, to hit upon a plan which renders the cottages unsuitable for the introduction of two fami lies, or letting off any portion of the rooms. This, it appears to us, will be effectually achieved. The ground floor is entered from the back into a porch designed to protect the interior from the inclemency of the weather. Out of this, towards the front, is the living room, a good apartment, and a passage leads from the porch to the staircase, and a good pantry, The propose d fittings-up are admirably arranged. The up stairs flo or contains three bed-rooms, with a water-closet to each cottage, pro vided with a tank above for flushing. The back offices comprise a court-yard, with a pump and piggery. The estimate seems to be carefully drawn up, making the cost of the two cottages and offices, without the cost of land, about £235. This, however, may be economised in certain favorable cases. Our only impression against the plan is that the rent for such erections is beyond the means of the W class to be benefited. e should suggest it, however, as an admirable one for the suburban cottages of artizens, &C., in the neighbourhood of our large towns.

ARE THE COTTON- MANUFACTURERS THRIVING ? If it is complained by any large portion of the commu nity that trade is depressed, and industry shorn of its re ward, the answer almost invariably returned is that the cotton manufacturers, at all events;-are in a state of in creasing prosperity . The export of cotton goods goes on swimmingly ; and the mule and the shuttle are in unceas ing requisition. A large business, however, is not neces sarily a good business ; and it will be very easy to shew that at the present moment, as for some. time past, the cotton manufacturer has been working at a considerable reduction of his former profits. It is well known to the public that a large advance has taken plate in the price of the raw material during the past few months.. The fol lowing table will shew that a similar advance has not taken place in the manufactured article : COMPARATIVE ADVANCE PER POUND WEIGHT IN THE PRICE OF UPLAND COTTON, AND THE FOLLOWING MANUFAC TURED COTTON GOODS, ON THE 31ST OF MAY, 1850, OVER THE PRICES OF THE 31ST OF MAY, 1849.

I was confined to bed, and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and being com pelled to have recourse to aperients every second or third day; and upon one occasion I swallowed no less than seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice. There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right ear, that, when I turned my head on the pillow, resembled the sound produced by a slight touch on a musical glass. I had a pain and a sort of fulness across thechest,'n sore throat, and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so great that I could not remain in the same position for ten minutes all night long- The principal seat of the pain seemed to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about three inches from the back hone. I commenced taking the Ravelenta' morning and evening, boiled in water and salt, and in less than a fortnight my appe tite was greatly improved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind since. lam much stronger, can walk steadier, and less like a drunken man, &c., &c.
