IV.—Economy in Annual Expense ;—they require less pe riodical adjustment ; the centres are detached from their bearings, and of course exempt from wear, except at the mo ment of ascertaining the weight. As a Weigh-bridge for weighing Wagons on common roads, aid for Trucks or Wagons on Railways, this Machine is pe. culiarly adapted. It may be fixed, if required, in a pit only fifteen inches deep; it occupies only half the usual space in the office; it is more exact in its indications than any of the old kinds of Weigh-bridges. The celebrity of FAIRBANKS' MACHINES, POOLEY'S MKNUFACTURE, has induced many imitations , having a professed and specious resemblance, at a low price.

PHIS infallible Remedy has preserved hundreds of Children when thought past recovery from Convulsions arising from painful dentition. As soon as the Syrup i s rubbed on the Gums, the Child will be relieved, the Gums cooled, and the inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as efficacious, tending to produce the Teeth with ease; and so pleasant, that no Child will refuse to let its Gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the Gums ; and Parents should never be without the Syrup in the Nursery where there are yo ung children ; for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the Gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c.—The great success of this Medicine during the last 25 Years has induced unprincipled persons to imitate it, under the name of American Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, &c. Parents will, there fore, be very particular to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING' SYRUP, and to notice that the Names of BAR CLAY and SONS, 95, Farringdon-street, London, (to whom Mrs. Johnson has sold the recipe,) are on the Stamp affixed on each Pottle, UNDER THE DISTINGUISHED PATRONAGE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.

Price. Wavertree CORRESPONDENCE. BRITISH SHIPBUILDING. RESTRICTIONS IN THE KINDS GP TIMBER IMPOSED DY LLOYD'S. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Having noticed for many years that you are ever willing to further the progress of all arts and sciences that may conduce to our national benefit, I address to you some remarks on shipbuilding, embodying facts not generally known, in the hope that, through your columns, certain regulations, affecting the rating of vessels for soundness and assurance, may be abrogated or amended, with great benefit to our maritime interests. The ques tion appears to me, as a practical man, to be of much importance, especially at the present time, when we are threatened with an abrogation of the Navigation Laws, which, if carried into effect, will give to foreign-built ships an unjust advantage against us, not only on the ocean, but in the contiguous waters of our own native shores. In the first place, the ship-building interest in the United Kingdom—including the merchant, the ship owner, the ship-builder, and the carpenter--is greatly sa crificed by the extraordinary and expensive manner in which ships are required to be constructed, and the ma terials of which they are composed; while other nations are taking advantage of us in every way. This is caused by Lloyd' committee insisting upon our ships being built of certain kinds of timber specifically described, which are not always attainable, and not, for some parts of the ves sel, better or as good as other wood ; but their regulations must be carried out, otherwise they refuse to class the structure, however faithfully put together, "A twelve years ship." Now, Sir, it is a positive fact, that timber equally as good, as durable, and (as affecting strength, of great moment,) of greater length than that to which they confine their approval, can be obtained more readily, and at a cheaper rate. I admit that British oak, if not the best timber in the universe, is, by its forms, and its durable qualities for ship building, highly desirable, so far as the framing and the knees are concerned. It is also good for planking, but to procure long lengths for this last purpose is next to an im possibility. In this respect our resources in the present day are scanty and highly expensive. There-is, however, a very strong and durable timber available for this purpose, which were it freed from an obnoxious duty, and permit ted to be used, would be a good substitute for the best oak now attainable. I allude to pitch pine, a timber which has almost in all cases escaped the dry-rot, while Lloyd's favoured wood, for the same purpose, has perished from its influence ! Pitch-pine may be had of great lengths, giving a fine shift of buts ; while their timber, on the plea of strength, cramps the ship-builder, and often renders his utmost of skill in putting it together unavailable in attaining the desired object. There is at present, sir, (and it can be undeniably proved) a steam-packet, about twenty years old, planked with pitch-pine, which is yet in good preservation ; though constantly exposed not only to wet but to heat. There are other vessels of the same age planked with it, in equal sea-worthy order. These facts, without adducing others, sufficiently prove that the ignorance or prejudice of Lloyd's committee, and the duty on pitch-pine, put the English shipbuilder to great unnecessary expense and trouble ; while the Americans and others are enjoying the benefit, and sneering at our folly. A ship of twelve years, or A 1, (and no vessel ought to class higher,) of a British oak frame, and other kinds of hard wood, for lower-deck beams, the binding streaks out side, and the stringers of shelf-pieces would be very strong. The timber known as green-heart is allowed by Lloyd's for the latter purposes,—another instance, in my opinion, of their folly, for it is not suitable for ship-building—being liable on a slight longitudinal incision at either end by axe or accident, to split, splinter, or open out from one extremity to the other ! What, then, must it be when a bolt is driven through it ? I contend that it is of no use, and adds no strength to the ship. The planking outside, from the bilge to the beads, the top sides, and the ceiling inside, may be safely made of pitch-pine, for it can be got of great lengths ; and such planking is the strength of the ship. The upper-deck beams may also be of the same material, and, with the frame before stated, a strong, durable vessel would be the result. _ _ In order, sir, to remove the grievance upon shipbuilders and others, of which I complain, I would, in conclusion, recommend—That the present system pursued by Lloyd's should be abolished ; and that, in lieu of it, a body of shipbuilders should meet annually in London to decide on this matter—the same to be elected out of local com mittees or surveyors chosen at each of the principal ports. The duty of the London Committee should be to regu late the classification of ships, according to the kind of material, fastenings, &c., they are built of. This would afford a great latitude to shipbuilders in the use of ap proved materials, new or before known ; and we should have, on the whole, stronger and cheaper ships in our mercantile marine than under the present impolitic re strictions imposed by Lloyd's Committee. The Govern ment should not, I think, have the power of choosing any of the committee or surveyors. That might be safely left to the merchants and shipowners. My proposition is, I consider, well worthy of the early consideration of Parlia ment • for the prosperity of the shipping interests is the life of trade in a maritime and insulated country like this, while at the same time it forms one of our strongest bul warks against foreign aggression, by affording a constant supply of able seamen.—l am, sir, &c., ROBERT TALBOT, Shipbuilder. ORANGEISM. The following resolution, by the Grand Committee of the Loyal Orangemen of Great Britain, held in this town on the 26th ult., has been forwarded to our respected Chief Magistrate, and by him laid before the whole magisterial bench : Moved by the D.G.M., seconded by the D.C. of the G.C., and carried unanimously, " That in consequence of the excitement created by dis loyal and disaffected persons, and in compliance with the known wishes of the mayor and- magistrates, we, the Grand Committee of theloyal Orangemen of Liverpool. do refrain from walking in procession on the 12th July next, and we call upon our brethren to nvoid any demon stration on that day, and in the mean time to enrol them selves in the ward committees as organised by the authorities of the town. We take this opportunity again publicly to profess our unbending loyalty to our Queen, and to re-assert our firm determination to assist the mayor and magistrates in preserving the peace of the town and neighbourhood." On the resolution being handed to his worship by a deputation of the officers of the order, after reading it over he said he was much obliged to them, that he would lay it before his brother magistrates, but so far as he himself was concerned such an assurance was not needed. The Grand Lodge was held yesterday in Manchester, at which a stirring and friendly address was read from the Grand Master, who, on account of illness, was unable to be present. The address, after alluding to his own sense of deficiency in the discharge of the duties of his im portant office, to the valuable services of the other grand officers, and to the startling character of the times in which we live, concluded as follows : " It is for you and me, my brethren, to be prepared -to gird on—not the armour of carnal warfare, as the small knot of disaffected persons now agitating this country would do—but to encase ourselves in the panoply of the Gospel of peace—to manifest to the world that whilst we are determined enemies to tie principles of the papacy, we would do good:and not evil to the persons of papists—to show to them, as well as to the world at large, that we are thoroughly convinced of the truth of our profession— that it is not merely by the secular arm that the Beast and False Prophet shall be consumed, but by the bright ness—the terrific shining forth of the great I Am in the face of the Bon of Man, " Your forbearance from public display, in deference to the known wishes of those in authority, in the present excited time—the readiness which you have expressed to enrol yourselves in the ranks of the friends of order, de mand from me the warmest expression of approbation and esteem. " Your strong sympathy with our dear brethren in Ireland in their present trying circumstances—the aid which you readily afforded when famine, and its usual concomitant, disease, visited their beloved land, were neither disregarded nor unobserved by me, but met with my. most hearty concurrence and support ; and I can assure them that on all occasions not only will the Orangemen of England be ready to afford assistance whenever needed, but they, with them, will ever join hand in hand to uphold the established government and constitution under which we have the happiness to live. " Allow me to hope that this conduct will not be without its effect, not only as an example to those in your own rank of life, but to ensure the much wished for consum mation—namely, a better understanding by the highest orders in the land of the principles which actuate the whole bsady of Loyal Orangemen. " In conclusion, brethren, permit me to express a fer vent hope that the example which passing events afford will not be allowed to sink into oblivion without due con sideration and improvement. They prove to a demonstra tion which cannot be gainsayed, that the country which has based its constitution on the Bible—which has made its precepts the glorious charter of the liberty of the subject—has withstood the withering eflorts of anarchy and revolution which have cursed other nations, and I fervently hope, under the Divine blessing, will con tinue to the most distant ages the home of the free—the protector of all who pitch their tent under its shadow. Of such a country who is not ready to exclaim— " 'Dear is that shed to which his soul conforms, And dear that bill which lifts him to the storms; And as a child, when scaring sounds molest, Clings closer and closer to the mother's breast, So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.'" Atfer the transaction of the usual annual business, the brethren dined together and throughout the whole pro ceedings the greatest cordiality prevailed. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Night. Many portions of our weekly summary of the latest commercial intelligence obtainable up to the moment of going to press refer to branches of trade which are ope rated upon mainly by local influences; and on these the huge quarrels of our continental neighbours take but little effect. It is somewhat different, however, in the more enlarged systems of the monetary and speculative circles, which are doubtless nervously sensible to such a se ries of startling events as have frightened the world out of its propriety for the last four months; and when we look back through the difficulties we have passed, it be comes a matter for wonder and a proof of the stability of our institutions that we have experienced so little damage in the passage. The star of peace is now we hope in the ascendant. The struggle for mastery between the two republican principles in France, of order v. socialist demo cracy, has terminated again and more dec sively in favour of the former. Public securities have since been firmer. A rise of nearly 1 per cent. in the English funds was on Saturday the consequence of the new financial statement of she Chancellor of the Exchequer, coupled with the accounts of the formation of the Cavaignac Ministry in Paris. the reported arrangements for peace between the Danes and the German Confederation, and the selection of the Archduke John of Austria as the head of the Germanic Confederation. Thefirst quotation ofConsols was 844 to 4, and, after various slight fluctuations, they closed at 844 to 85. The somewhat unfavourable news from India, in a third edition of The Times, was published too late to have any influence on the market, which closed at two o'clock. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Saturday at 46f. • the Five per Cents., 69f. 75 c . Prices in the gIIARE Market have advanced each day during the past week, and the amount of business done, and the number of buying orders received, have also been every day on the increase. The more peaceable state of the continent generally, the establishment of something like government in France, and, above all, the very satis factory statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, have brought about this favourable change. There has been a most extraordinary rally from the depth of the de pression of the 24th June. London Stock has risen from 115 to 124 ; the 4-shares from par to 1 pm. ; Midland from 954 to 1034 ; the 4-shares from 74 dis. to 54 dis., with other stocks in much the same proportion. In Dovers there has been a great advance, and the No. 4 shares are now much wanted. Since the publication of the Broker's Circular, 1,700 hhds. Bengal Sugar have been sold at rather easier rates, and 150 hhds. Barbadoes, at full prices. The market, however, still presents a quiet appearance, waiting until something definite is settled about the duties. The arri vals of Rice and Saltpetre, from Calcutta, have been large. —ln London purchasers have shewn very little disposition to do business in sugar, and actual sales consequently have been somewhat limited : the majority in favour of the Ministerial proposition on Thursday evening has not had any effect on the market. The coffee market seems ex tremely heavy, Mocha having declined about 4s. per cwt., while good ordinary kinds of Ceylon have also slightly re ceded. In• tea the transactions have been moderate, but where sales have been made full prices have in every case been obtained. The attention of the trade being at present engaged with the London sales, we have had little or nothing doing in Foreign WOOL this week ; a few parcels of middle and low class Wools are the only things reported to have been sold. Imports for the week :—Foreign, from Monte Video 40, Oporto 124, Lisbon 20, Trieste 60, Smyrna 45, Bombay 47, previously 40,549—T0ta1, 40,885. Scotch, 184, previously, 5373—T0ta1, 5557. Very little business has been transacted during the last few days in the AMERICAN PROVISION TRADE. The imports of Pork have been large, and purchasers merely supply the immediate want s o f the trade. The same remark applies to Bacon ; at the public sale on Tuesday there was little done in Western ; ordinary quality, Short Middles, brought 335. to 365., and some fair quality, 38s. to 40s. ; fine quality, Long Middles, bring 435. to 465. ; no Eastern cure on the market. Hams and Shoulders are in request, at the quotations. Lard is still quiet. and a trifling reduction has taken place in fine quality. Beef is slack. A parcel of new Cheese, in fair condition and of tolerable quality, sold at 375. to 41s. 6d. Present prices :- Cheese -(duty paid)-Fine, -s to -s per cwt. ; 40s to 43s ; ordinary, 35s to 38s. Beef-11.S. (free)-Prime mess, per tree. 3041 b., 85s to 92s 6d ; ordinary, 80s to 83s, old 40s to 60s; extra, India, family, &c., 97s to 105 s; ditto, per h a lf-barrel, 305 to 35s ;-mess, per b arre l, 2001 b ., 50 s to 56 s ; ordinary, 405 to 46 5, old 36 s to 40s; prime, 34s to 36 5 .

Ba con -(f ree) - Eastern, -s to -s; 33s to 46s ; shoulders, 24 s t o 275, o ld - s to - s 2 & 00 c. 1 , b 4 w . per cwt. Hams-Dried, (duty paid,) old -s to -s per cwt. ; in salt, (free,) 35s to 465.

Butter-Grease, (free,) 40s to 45s per cwt. Pilot Biscuit (duty paid)-15s to 20s per cwt. The market for IRISH Butter has been somewhat brisker this week, and dealers have made a few purchases to meet the increased demand resulting from the di minished supplies of fresh butter ; the market may, there fore, be considered steady at the subjoined reduced quo tations, and anticipations are entertained that a fair demand may presently be expected. The price of Bacon is reduced, on account of the quantity of American press ing on the market. We have no alteration to report in the value of Hams and Lard, which are in moderate re quest. The arrivals for the week ending this day are :- Butter, 5773 firkins, 1586 crocks ; Bacon, 17 bales ; Hams, 16 hhds. ; Lard, 7 tierces, 80 kegs. Prices to-day (landed in Liverpool) :-Butter; Waterford, new, 80s. to 82s. ' • Kilkenny, Carlow, and Clonmel, 80s. to 81s. ; Carrick, new, 795. to 80s ; Wexford. Carlow, 795. to 80s. ; Belfast, 78s. to 80s. ; Ballymoney and Coleraine, 775. to 78s. ; Banbridge, 765. to 775. ; Newry and Dundalk, 725. to 765. ; Londonderry, 765. to 78s. Bacon: Long Middles, free from bone, new, 565. to 575. ; Short Middles, free from bone, new, 575. Lard: Fine Keg, 50s. to 525. The weather during the past week has been generally unsteady, which is considered rather unfavourable for the crops, particularly as regards Wheat, in which article most of the markets throughout the country have shown more buoyancy ; and the trade otherwise is steady. Indian Corn and Corn Meal form th.e only exception, each being a trifle lower in our markets ; but rather the reverse h. most parts of Ireland. The arrivals into this port since the published return last market-day are-From Ireland, Wheat, 32 qrs. ; Coastwise, 207 qrs. • Europe, &c. l 630 qrs.: Malt, Ireland, 130 qrs.: Oats, freland, 1,195 qrs. : Rye, Coastwise, 73 qrs.: Beans, Europe, &c., 1,534 qrs. : Indian Corn, Coastwise, 81 qrs.: Oatmeal, Ireland, 40 loads ; Coastwise, 12 loads : Flour, Ireland, 4,146 sacks ; Coastwise, 130 sacks ; United States, 4,025 brls. There has been more activity in the Scotch Pig 'Rost market during the last week. Prices are firm at 535. per ton net cash for No. 1 delivered here. The amount of bu siness done this week in the mining share market has been of a very limited character. The continued depres sion of the standard has a deteriorating influence on shares in copper mines especially, but we hope that the standard has now reached its lowest point, and therefore anticipate an advance, with an improved demand in the metal mar ket. The sales of TOBACCO, which have taken place latterly, have been made at a depression upon previous prices, in some cases to a considerable reduction. About 800 hhds. have been disposed of during the month ; 300 hhds. to the trade, 250 of which were Kentucky stemmed ; 365 hhds. to Ireland, viz., 85 Virginia leaf, 250 Virginia stemmed, and 30 Kentucky stemmed. For exportation, 51 Virginia leaf and 107 Kentucky leaf ; and also 90 hhds. low tobacco, of all kinds, by auction, not included in the 800 hhds. The last quoted prices are :-Virginia leaf faded, 21-d. per lb. ; ordinary sound, 3d., middling, 3 d., good, 4d. to 41d., fine, 5d., stemmed sound, 3d. to 51d. and 6d. ; Ken tucky leaf, 24d. to ad. and 4d., stemmed, 3d. to sd. and 51(1. Our present stock consists of 2,817 Virginia leaf, 3,941 Virginia stemmed, 1,585 Kentucky leaf, 7,488 Ken tucky stemmed, and 309 not sampled ; total, 16,140 ; and at the same period last year the stock consisted of 2,406 Virginia leaf, 4,578 Virginia stemmed, 2,179 Kentucky leaf, 7,153 Kentucky stemmed-total, 16,316. The demand for Corrow has been in the ascendant since the publication of the usual weekly circular, and on Saturday a livelier feeling was displayed, the sales amount ing to 6000 bales, but no change took place in pr ices. TO -DAY, however, there has not only been a considerable demand, but very full prices have been realized. The sales are estimated at 7000 bales, including 1000 for spe culation and exportation. The import for the week end ing June 30th was 152,077 ; the stock previously, 514,729 ; the sales, 26,830, of which 1,200 were on speculation, and 3,420 for export, leaving a stock of Cotton in the port of 634,426, being 197,326 bales more than at the same time last year. The stock of American, 485,976, being 154,216 bales more than at the same period last year. The ap parent weekly consumption, 24,540, against 21,434 at the same period last year. IThe annual circular of M essrs . M a tth ew Cl ar k n d S ons contains a P. rllamentary ; e` urn, moved for at the instance of their firm, of the importation and deliveries in detail of foreign wines and spirits for the United Kingdom during the years 1846 and 1847. In almost all descrip tions the consumption of wines shows a serious decrease, arising from the recent commercial distress, and the diminution is especially observable in ports and sherries. With regard to some descriptions of spirits, however, an opposite tendency is shown, the causes of which are doubt less to be found principally in the last reductions of duty, and in some measure in the increased expenditure on these articles consequent upon the progress of railway works. In brandy the increase of consumption since the reduc tion of duty has been 45 3-10 per cent., and in rum a result equally striking appears likely to take place. With respect to British spirits, a table is given of the consump tion for the last 12 years, which, although it presents no remarkable variation in England and Scotland, shows a decrease in Ireland from 12,284,772 gallons in 1837 down. to 6,037,383 gallons in the year ending the sth of January, 1848—a transition principally attributable to the temper ance movement in 1840, the subsequent reaction from which (apparent in 1845 and 1846) seems to have been decisively checked by the famine of 1847. The TIMBER Trade continues dull in every department, with the exception of railway sleepers, of which consider able sales have lately been made by the timber merchants, in whose hands are all the stocks, but the prices do not transpire: the stocks were getting much reduced. The arrivals from British America this month consist of 17 vessels, 12,198 tons, against 8 vessels, 3,425 tons, in cor responding month last year ; and the aggregate arrivals since February show 42 vessels, 27.689 tons, this year, against 39 vessels, 20,868 tons, to same date last year. Pine Timber.—Of St. John, one cargo of 19k inches average was sold at 16id. per foot ; one of 18 inches at 164 d ; one of two averages, viz., 30,000 feet 18 inches at 16d. ; and 12,000 feet 15 inches average at 13d. ; another cargo is being retailed by the importers, and the remain ing arrivals are not yet disposed of.

LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. INDIA. The Indian mail reached London on Saturday. The affairs of Moulton were growing rather compli. cated. Moulraj was raising troops and fortifying Moultan. He was reported to be preparing thirty thousand men for his defence. He gave Ior. per month to the foot soldiers, and 25r. to every horseman. The disaffection amongst the Sikh troops was described as extending itself, and some of them were anxious to join the standard of Moulraj. Moulraj had sent three thou sand men to occupy Mittemkote, near which all steamers going up the Indus must pass. He is also said to have sent three thousand to intercept Captain Edwards from Peshawur, but that gallant officer had reached Lahore. The British authorities at Lahore were on the alert. Artillery, cavalry, and a brigade of infantry had been sent to protect Govindghur, the celebrated treasury fortress of Lahore, where all the spare money of that state was col lected. Conflicting rumours were circulated in Bombay relative to the state of the Punjaub, some asserting that a great unwillingness existed amongst the Sikh troops to raise the standard of revolt, and fears were expressed that the delay until October, which the great heats caused, would be pro. ductive of no good, inasmuch as it would allow Moulra time to concentrate his forces and organize them. Other rumours contended that Moulraj woud never be able to equip such a large body of men, and that his utmost ef forts would end in his endeavouring to protect himself in the fortified city. The Khan of Bhawulpore is described as being highly favourable to the British. The monsoon was about to begin, and all communica tions by sea from Scinde to Bombay had ceased. Scinde was tranquil, and the hill tribes gave no signs of an inclination to aid in the disturbance caused by Moul raj. The Bombay troops would, it was expected, move in October up the Indus and its tributaries, so as to reach Moultan, which when captured would be retained by the British. It is considered as one of the best positions for the internal commerce of that part of Asia. The season had closed at Bombay, and a very dull and unprofitable one it had been. That market is reported to be exceedingly depressed • the dealers were afraid to buy, and the brokers were unwilling to trust them. The stock of goods was large and accumulating, and holders ex hibited a great disposition to realize. The money mar ket was somewhat easier. Exchange was Is. 100. for China bills, and ls. 9d. for bank paper. Freights to Great Britain were £3 to £3 ss. The dates from Calcutta are only five days later than by the last mail, namely, to Bth May, and little change had occurred in the interim. Money was abundant, but cau tion and distrust rendered it difficult to obtain. For cot ton piece goods there still continued a free sale. There had been a considerable accession of tonnage, but, con signees being firm, freights were well sustained. Ex change Is. 10d. RUSSIA.—The Silesian Gazette says that a letter from Riga mentions the fact, that serious disturbances had taken place at St. Petersburg. The authorities sue ceeded in quelling them, but severe! hundred persons have fallen victims. No details re given. GERMANY. — lntelligence from Hamburgh of the 29th ult. reports the conclusion of peace as being settled be tween the Danes and the Germanic Confederation. We learn from Frankfort that the National Assembly decided after a long sitting that the Archduke John of Austria was elected to be head of the provincial central power. Advices from Konigsberg of the 27th ult. state that the public spirit of the provinces of Prussia is exceedingly embittered against the capital.. The provincials refuse to recognise the acts of the National Assembly, as deliberat ing under the influence of fear. The rumours of the ad vance of the Russians are incessant, and occasion great anxiety. The letters from Hamburg received in the city on Saturday are wholly destitute of any intelligence on points of business. Money continued abundant at from 2 to 21 per cent. Nothing has occurred with reference to railway meetings this week requiring notice, except the announced "forced suspension of works" on the Louvain h la Sambre, " through commercial distress." It is mentioned in letters from Dantzic of the 23rd ult. that the rumours of a warlike demonstration against Prussia on the part of the Emperor Nicholas are increas ing, in consequence of orders having been given by the Prussian Government for the fortifications of that city to be placed in a state of defence. It may be hoped, how ever, that this is merely intended as a measure of pre caution, since, it is said, all accounts from Poland agree • in stating that there are no military forces approaching the Prussian frontier on that side. At the dates of these advices wheat was rather on the advance. Papers have been received from Auckland, New Zea land, to the 9th of March. Governor Grey had returned from his tour of inspection to the Bay of Islands, Nelson, Akaroa, Wanganui, Otago, and New Ply mouth. Order was restored at Wanganui, and the natives now exhibited a friendly disposition. The last intelli gence from Wellington stated that great improvements were being made in local communication, the formation of roads occupying much attention. The Dido had come into po r t at Auckland, having just completed her visit to the Friendly and the Isle of Pines, There was no news from that quarter. Port Philip papers to the 12th of February have also arrived, but their contents are unimportant. Advices from St. Louis, Senegal, to the 20th April re port business as extremely dull. Hostilities among the tribes had broken out, which the government were endea vouring to quell. The steamship Acadia is due to-day. The America will probably arrive next Sunday. In the minority of 36, on Friday night, in favour of Mr. Bright's motion against interfering with the sugar bill of 1846, were Messrs. Bowring, Brotherton, Cobden, Milner Gibson, Sharman Crawford, Henry, Kershaw, Pilkington, Ricardo, Molesworth, Thicknesse, the two Thompsons, Thorneley, Villiers, and Williams, of Macclesfield. A horrible act of brutality was perpetrated at the Half way House, (public-house, between Darwcn and Bolton) yesterday week. A poor boy, named Lee, was seized in a drunken " spree" by some true Lancashire ruffians, and thrust over the fire, on which there was a large pan of boil ing water, into which they attempted to duck him. Lee thrust his arm into the boiling pan to save his head, which, though not immersed, was terribly scalded by the water and steam thrown up in the struggle. Gregory, the landlord of the house, and others present, looked on quietly. They afterwards dragged the poor lad out of the road, and amused themselves by kicking him up and down for nearly an hour, the bov praying piteously all the while for mercy. The injuries h sustained have endangered hie life.
