The Liverpool Standard and General Commercial Advertiser. — Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1850-06-11 00:00:00

TO CORRESPONDENTS. . . Our columns are filled to overflowing with important matter to-day. The length of yesterday's Council Meeting, and the arrival of the American steamer, have prevented the inset , Lion of several articles and communications. lI)t W.tbrypool ---g)tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1850. SOME months ago, we were the first parties to introduce in our columns a telegraphic despatch containing important news from the United States, conveyed via Halifax, two days and a half to three days later than the regular advices by the mail steamer. Our readers and the public were some what staggered by this unprecedented feat in news paper enterprise. The idea of news from New York, extending to two or three days after the sailing of the steamer was certainly a novelty which might reasonably excite suspicion as to the bona fide nature of such news. We had hoped, however, that the character of the Liverpool Standard was sufficiently well established to guard us from the idea being entertained that we could be so incau tious as to circulate any information of the correct nets of which we were not morally certain ; and we were, therefore, a little hurt to find several of our contemporaries treating our despatches as " purporting" to contain the intelligence which they conveyed. The same despatch was given in the London morning papers without any such ex pression of sneering incredulity. We have since given many further dispatches, conveyed through the same agency, and have fur nished to the commercial world facts bearing most importantly upon the state of markets, &c. Had we tripped on any one occasion we should have paused. We have not done so, however. On every occasion—and we have had intelligence, upon the faith of which hundreds of thousands of pounds might have been perilled—we have been borne out by the facts as conveyed to us by the laggard pace of the ordinary modes of conveying news. Our cotton advices, per telegraph, have been invariably verified ; and our market intelli gence has formed the most important feature of our various dispatches, and never been challenged as one-sided or mistaken. In fact we knew our man, and his standing, from the first, or we should have been sorry to have endangered the reputation of our paper by giving our sanction to his infor mation. We have been drawn into these remarks by the unworthy and jealous spirit in which the tele graphic despatch per Niagara, contained in our last paper, was received. That despatch exclusively announced the important news of the landing of an American force in the Island of Cuba, with particulars, which were fully confirmed by the arrival of the Pacific; yet we had nearly the whole array of our contemporaries, from the Liverpool papers to the London Times—`• Tray, Pompey, and Caesar"—snarling at the intelligence, which we adopted, as " alleged" news, " purporting to be" by electric telegraph, via Halifax, and using other forms of ignorant incredulity. Yet, since, we have seen our news treated as what might have been expected. Expected ! Why, the Times doubted its correctness altogether, and babbled of American fleets intercepting an expedition already landed ! And we have never yet found one of our contemporaries doing us • the bare justice of an acknowledgment of their error and injurious suspi cions. We have a reputation to lose; and we can assure our readers that they shall never be, by us, misled willingly, or even by any culpable incaution. We give, at foot, a despatch received yesterday through the same channel, and trust that it will receive a little more respectful consideration than that which, from pique, jealousy, or other motives, has hitherto been given to our efforts : AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY.—HALIFAX, N.S., May 30, 1850, 10 p.m. (VIA TELEGRAPH FROM NEW YORK TO HALIFAX.) New York, 5 p.m., May 30, 1850. To D. Mac Clenaglian, Standard-office, Liverpool. HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM BUENOS AYRES. Six hundred of the Cuban invaders had landed at Key west after a narrow escape from a Spanish steamer. The expedition is broken up. Tho Buenos Ayres packet of the 30th March, reports a fresh inroad made into the Oriental territory by a Rio Grande party, 150 in number, under Calengo, who were repulsed by the Oriental Colonial Lamas, and completely cut to pieces. Ilaytian Govt. had acknowledged the St. Domingo Govern ment independent. The Monopoly Law will finally be repealed on the 30th June. The Philadelphia arrived with half a million from California. Nothing later. COMMERCIAL. Corros.—Sales last three days 4,000 bales ; prices in favour of buyers. FLOUR advanced 12 cents since the Asia arrived. YELLOW CORN 69 to 70 cents. WHITE GS to 69 cents. BEST WHEAT 1.47 to 1.50. PROVISIONS firm. LARD advanced 74-in barrels. SHIPPING ARRIVED.—The ship Euphenia, Liverpool; ship Canada, ditto ; Franconia, Glasgow ; Cork ; John Cummings, Havre ; barque Louis, Cadiz ; Hermann, Bremen ; Garland, Cork ; Mischief, Marseil les ; Nordaret, Newcastle; Lady Young, Liverpool; Gal wayArk, Newport; schooner Escort, Liverpool; Superior, Cardiff. W. A. Toomsom, New York. D. H. CRAIG, Halifax. N.S. WE fully expected that the meeting held on Thursday last would be one of the most splendid demonstrations which has as yet been made in favor of protection to British industry and capital ; and our anticipations have been far surpassed by the reality. Whether we regard the number of impor tant interests represented on the platform and in the vast assembly, the array of talent brought to bear upon the question, the firm yet courteous tone of the various speakers, and the enthusiasm and unanimity which prevailed throughout the meeting, its importance must be felt, and, by every candid man acknowledged. Indeed we have ample proof that it has been and is felt. It is proved by the rabid yet pointless railing of the Free Trade organs ; by the stereotyped flippancies, by which it has been assailed. We are told that the staple of the various speeches delivered consisted of " oft refuted falla cies," " threadbare sophisms," " illogical reason ings," and so forth. The galling point however is that it consisted of facts, hard facts—irrefutable facts ; of the details of mercantile experience and suffering delivered in the presence of the leading members of the first mercantile body in this country. It comprised, too, some home-thrusts and re minders, which are well calculated to make some of our philosophers wince and blush—if a blush is n them. We shall not attempt to offer a reply to any of the cbjEctors. In fact it would be grappling with shadows, or attempting to hold an eel in the hand. Our free-trade friends offer us nothing substantial to aim at. We must, however, briefly refer to the remarks of one of these—the Manchester Guardian —for the sake of the important and ludicrous admission which t contains. Our contemporary observes— " We must admit that the scheme of getting up a meeting at Liverpool, in favour of ' protection to native industry,' was not devoid of ingenuity. The great port of the north of England is not only in itself a very im portant place, but it contains a great number of persons who are, or who imagine they are, deeply interested in enabling one part of the community to lay taxes upon the rest. What with West Indian proprietors, agents, and mortgagees, shipowners, ship-builders, ship -carpenters, seamen, and other parties interested in colonial monopo lies and in shipping, it is by no means difficult to whip up a pretty good attendance at any meeting called f or th e purpose of bolstering up or restoring monopolies. Th en the affair of Thursday last was got up with a considerable degree of artistical skill. With a Lancashire nobleman in the chair, Liverpool merchants and delegates from all parts of the country en the platform. and the house well filled with Liverpool artificers, the general effect was imposing." It must be confessed that this is a pretty impos ng and comprehensive catalogue of important nterests arrayed against our, suicidal free-trade Policy. It reaches from the to to the Lottom of the social fabric, and is bounded a my by the length and breadth of the British empire. Not an inter est in the community unrepresentaeil And what do we find arrayed against the mUvetnent? The free-trade millocracy of Lancashire and Yorkshire, with a few so•called conservative millowners and manufactetere hiding, [sulky and aehamed in the background; the flippant and empty-headed spout ers of a nearly defunct agitation, and a tail.. cm" , posed of people of fixed incomes, placemeri, money jobbers—the non-producers and drones of the social hive ! It is British enterprise and industry,•froM here to the Antipodes, against the rapidly de creasing faction in a few of our manufacturing towns ! It would be a work of supererogation in :us to attempt the expression of any critical opinion with regard to the respective degree of merit and im portance to be attached to the various speeches de livered on this occasion. We might, indeed, re mark upon the opening address of the noble chair man, Lord Wilton, as realising to its fullest extent what Professor Butt so eloquently referred to as " the mild dignity of a hereditary peerage rebuking the purse-proud insolence of men who care not at what national cost they may gratify their own reck less ambition ;" point to the convincing array of facts given by Mr. G. F. Young, and the splendid and clearly-argued orations of Professor Butt and the Rev. Dr. M'Neile, or direct attention, not with out a feeling of local pride, to the able speeches de livered by the representatives of our own mercantile interests, as showing that, amidst the busy whirl of commerce, and the absorbing cares attendant upon the vast transactions in which they are engaged, the merchants and tradesmen of Liverpool have not neglected the cultivation of intellect and mind. We might also refer to the able and gentlemanly ad dress of Mr. Neilson, as a fine specimen of the higher class of the tenant farmers of this immediate locality. We shall not, however, dwell upon these features of the meeting ; but refer briefly to the indication, conveyed by the manner in which the allusions to the subject by Mr. Samuel Holme and Professor Butt were received by the meeting, that the grinding injustice and tyranny of Sir Robert Peel's cnrrency laws are beginning to be fully ap preciated by this great commercial community. The studied mystery in which this question; vital as it is to every commercial and industrial interest, has been hitherto shrouded, is being rapidly dissipated ; and the whole system of oppression and chicanery, we warn the money jobbers and usurers — the men who are fattening upon the profiit of the enterprise of others—who are day by day being en riched, whilst they never toil an hour—shall lie made so nlain and palpable, that he who runs may read. Henceforth this question, and that of pro tection to British industry and capital, are one, and indivisible. ONE might almost imagine it to be the delibe rate purpose of the organs of the free trade party to drive the industrial portion of their fellow countrymen to frenzy, by the insulting levity with which every complaint of suffering is responded to. Does any particular interest represent itself to be labouring under unusual depression—palpable although that depression may be—painfully felt, although those charlatans know it to be in many a household, and throughout many a community— such representation is met only by gibes of pre tended incredulity, mocking satire, or ribald abuse. Are such complaints pressed home upon the self satisfied philosophers, and hacked with the facts of actual and individual distress; the complainants are forthwith deluged with a shower of figures, adroitly culled from official tables ; designed to con vince the unhappy beings that they are in a most un informed state with respect to their own condition— that they are prosperous, despite of their own con victions to the contrary—despite of the poverty which they feel to be invading their own comfort able homes—despite of diminished profits, growing cares and embarrassments, and of the abyss of pauperism, towards which they see themselves, day by day, being hurried. Thus, during the recent debate on Mr. Buxton's motion, our West India colonists, half beggared, although they know themselves to be, with the evidence before, the world of West India property, once yielding an ample return, having been driven into the market at from a twentieth to a fortieth of its cost, and a large portion of it abandoned by its owners, and left to revert to a tropical wilderness, were assured by Mr. Economist 'Wilson, in his usual flippant style, that they were totally mistaken as to their position and prospects ; that, instead of being suf fering, they were rapidly progressing towards a plethoric prosperity. All this was proved too—as such things are proved now-a-days—by figures and returns from blue books and consular correspon dence; aided by assertions sufficiently oracular in style to convince any unfortunate suppliant for a day's meal that he had the wealth of Crcesus, or the bullion bags of Lord Overstone in his un furnished garret ! A striking example of this sort of comfort to a suffering people is to be met with in the following paragraph, perpetrated by the London Times on Friday last : " The returns of the Board of Trade for the month ending the sth of May continue to indicate, in a most re markable degree, the general prosperity of the country. The increase in the declared value of exportations as com pared with the corresponding, month of last year is £1,398,232, of which £851,706 is irrespective of. cotton manufactures and cotton yarn, and the inccreased price of the staple in those markets. The even manner, in fact, in which the augmentation is spread throughout the va rious branches of national industry will be found one of the most striking features of the table." Some of our local free-trade contemporaries point to the same increased axports as overthrowing completely all the arguments and facts adduced at the splendid meeting held in this town on Thurs day last. How can you complain, gentlemen— merchants of Liverpool, farmers of England, shopkeepers, and labourers ? The exports have increased nearly a million and a half during the past month ! You must he doing well I You must be prosperous ! What business have all you shipwrights, artificers in wood and iron, bricklayers and masons, coopers and porters, to be working only three days a week ? What right have you, merchants and tradesmen, to be complaining ? How is it that your bills are badly paid ; that the poor live in hovels fit for swine ; that tailors and sempstresses starve for the miserable wages of the slop shop ?—you must all be in affluence, for, see— the exports last month increased a million and a half ! We are going a-head. " The general prosperity of the country" is undoubted ! We must really get rid of this miserable clap trap—of our dependence upon such specious humbug as these tables, as evidence of the " general prosperity" of the country. For what does this increase of exports amount to, after all ? Why, as matters stand, to a confession that we have not been able to sell our goods for remune rating prices at home ; and have sent them abroad, to markets already confessedly glutted, in the hope of getting rid of them there—at some price. Our philosopher of the Times takes care to tell us that a large portion of this increase is " irrespective of cotton manufactures and cotton yarn, and the in creased price of the staple in those markets." We presume he lacked the power of face required to assure the cotton manufacturers of this district that they had been doing an unusually prosperous business. If, however, he can point out to us any other article of export, the manufacturer of which is very prosperous, we shall he greatly obliged to him for the information. Take, for example, the article " Metals," the export of which we find has increased in the month ending May sth £160,483 over the corresponding month last year, and those of hardwares and cutlery and machinery, in both of which there is a large increase—what is the state of these trades ? In the iron trade, we find from Aris's Birmingham Gazette that' forty Scotch furnaces have been put out of blast ; several Staffordshire furnaces the same. The makers of rod iron, hoop and sheet iron, and other sorts, are diminishing their produce; yet prices continue to fall. And more pertinent than all, the same paper reports that— " The quantity of iron made is much in excess of the daily consumption. The foreign markets appear to be glutted with unsaleable supplies, and prices are resorted to something under the actual cost in order to compete with the tempting offers made by our more fortunately circumstanced neighbours." Who are these ? Why, those neighbours who have still a consuming market. The Gazette adds : "But the continuance of business upon such terms can only be a question of time ; and unless some unforeseen source of demand should spring up, the whole make, not only of this, but of each producing district throughout the kingdom, must be further curtailed, and that within a short period." Yet it is upon a business like this, carried on, admittedly, at a sacrifice, that the Times and other similar philosophers congratulate themselves ! The real fact is, that an increase in the exports of the country very frequently shows a state of things quite the reverse of prosperous. The true evidence of the prosperity of our export trade is given in the returns of sales of merchants exporting them, and in the remunerative result of the layer- ?II LITIIRPOOL STANDARD. tations of foreign produce imported as remittances. Both have been of late signally disastrous. More over, we should feel much more assured of the country being in a state of "general prosperity," if we could be shown any evidences of a profitable and large home trade. Here, however, our philo sophers and statisticians are at a difficulty. They know well, however, that the home trade has fallen off to ten times the extent of the increase of the foreign, and that the former is generally a profitable trade, whilst the latter is generally a losing one. Men in business rarely sacrifice their stocks before the eyes of their neighbours, and their bankers, and creditors. CONFIRMATIONS PROPOSED TO BE HOLDEN IN THE DIOCESE OF CHESTER IN 1850. The Bishop of this diocese has just forwarded the fol lowing letter to his clergy : Chester 4th June. 1850. REVEREND Stn,—On the other side of this paper you will see stated the time and place of Confirmations, which I purpose, God willing, to hold this year. Those young persons in your parish who have passed their fifteenth year, and are approved by you, will be admitted. With respect, however, to the limit of age here men. tioned, you will feel yourself at liberty to make such ex ceptions as in particular cases you may think suitable and proper. . . It is my earnest request that none may be presented who do not understand the principles of the Christian Faith, and express their desire, under the blessing of God's grace, to follow a Christian practice. Those who have been approved will produce tickets when they are presented for Confirmation ; and each clergyman will also have the kindness to deliver a list con taining the names and ages of the candidates whom he brings to be confirmed.—l am, Reverend Sir, your affec tionate Brother, J.

SPLENDID PAINTINGS-' •" INCIDENTS IN DEER STALKING." There is now on view, at Mr. Gregg's Picture-gallery, in Bold -sleet, a series of six beautiful paintings, illus trative of " Deer Stalking," by Robert Ansdell, Esq., President of the Royal Academy of this town. Mr. Owen Bailey proposes to publish from these striking works of art as many engravings, in the finest style of etching, and of the same size as the originals, namely, 222 by 12 inches, exclusive of margin. We were much gratified, in common with many others, by an inspection, a few days ago, of these productions, which will, undoubtedly, add new laurels to the brow of the already distinguished painter. They comprise the incidents of an entire day in deer-hunting, amidst the rocky fastnesses of wild and picturesque portions of the Highlands of Scotland. No. I. (morning) represents " Examining the Ground." Two hunters are cautiously reclined on a rocky ridge, one of them looking through a telescope to descry the quarry in the distance, while between them are two deer-hounds gazing in the same direction in anxious anticipation of the chase. The figures, scenery, and sky, are boldly and characteristically executed, and finished with such preci sion and minuteness of touch that they may be viewed with advantage through a powerful magnifying glass. 11. represents " The Deer Disturbed ;" 111. " The shot" fired by the relentless hunter ; IV. " The Chase"—one of the dogs close upon the throat of the deer, who is bounding, for preservation, into an agitated piece of water ; V. " Waiting for Help" to lift the deer, now lying dead ; and VI. " Returning Home"—the body of the antlered monarch of the hills slung across the back of a stiff-set highland horse, admirably painted. The figures are all beautifully identified in the several attitudes se lected, and the scenery and sky sufficiently varied for each stage of the sport, while the keeping of the mountain tract of country is still maintained. As a specimen of the style in which the engravings will be executed, there is an excellent engraving of " The Wounded Hound," from the valuable painting by the same artist, executed by W. D. Dovey, who will be employed to engrave this new and complete series illustrative of " Deer Stalking." ST. MATTHEW'S CHURCH AND SCHOOLS. ABSTRACT OF THE LOG OF THE ASIA, CAPT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sta,—Having observed a paragraph in your paper of the 4th instant, that might be calculated to make an un favourable impression upon the public mind, as it regards St. Matthew's Schools, held under the Church of St. Matthew, in Scotland-road, the paragraph asserting the schools ought not to be held there any longer, but other a"commodation provided for them, without assigning any cause for such assertion,—l think it due to the public, as to the cause we have in hand in the education of youth, to observe that, however desirable it may be to have pre mises and ground for schools attached to churches sepa rate and distinct from such churches, for reasons that would obviously present themselves, we have reason to be satisfied that the accommodation rendered to St. Mat thew's Schools is removed, as far as possible, from any reasonable objection that might be taken to any submural locality. The insertion of this note will oblige - - Your faithful servant, H. B. W. HILCOAT, Incumbent of St. Matthew's Church, Scotland-road Vestry,June 10th, 1850. STATE OF TRADE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. [Were we at liberty to publish the name of the intelligent writer of the following note it would arrest instant attention o his statements.] Manchester, June 9th, 1850. _ SIR,—In all your statements as regards the prices of Cotton and Goods you must be careful not to say the latter are advanced SO to 100 per eent. The labour, &c., comes to twice the amount of the cotton used, so that 33 per cent. on Goods is something like 100 per cent. on Cotton. The Guardian has once or twice fallen into this error. In looking over the Board of Trade returns you ought to deduct 25 per cent., for the advance in Goods that have gone out this year, and which has been paid on Cotton (only), and yet the price they have been sold at leaves a great loss to the producer, and it is greatly magnified, in the cost it will take now to replace them. You will see a trial to set aside a bequest of £2OO for the best essay on emigration, which the vice-chancellor declared void, as it would be the means of inducing per sons to emigrate to North America, and make themselves subjects of the United States, and by that means throw off their allegiance to their Queen and country. How does this agree with the encouragement held out by the government ? It is a singular fact that all their acts, since 1845, have been clothed with inconsistency ; they have never passed one law that has spread equal benefits. * * * * * * MAN CATCHERS DEFEATED.—We are glad to learn that Mr. Ramshay, of the County Court, has reversed the decision of the late Mr. Lowndes, by refusing a verdict for a plaintiff, who sought to recover commission from Messrs. Tapscott and Co. for passengers shipped by his vessels. The act is rather ambiguous, but as the complainant had no written authority from the firm sued, he was defeated—properly so. BIDSTON RACES.—The quiet and rural village of Bid ston presented on Saturday a scene of somewhat unex pected excitement. A number of young gentlemen of the vicinity, practising athletic exercises, contended in a steeple chase on foot across the valley lands of Mr. Rim mer. Mr. Howard, and Mr. Hazlehurst. The course was about a mile and a half, and the numerous besmeared habiliments of the competitor clerks—aspirants to athletic fame—shewed that the leaps were of no insignificant width or depth. Mr. Grindrod was awarded the silver cup. In the evening the party, with some invited far mers, took supper at the Claughton Hotel. Tne invited parties, preferring home to expensive wines, retired early, but the greater body kept it up till midnight. WATERLOO CHURCH.—The labours of the lamented Rev. Charles James Graham Jones will be continued by his father, the Rev. John Jones, the respected incumbent of St. Andrew's Church, the latter rev. gentleman having accepted the appointment from the trustees. This was announced by himself, in most feeling and affectionate terms, on Sunday morning last, to his flock at St. An drew's, most of whom were taken by surprise at tidings so unexpected, and few could refrain from tears. St. Andrew's Church and the Rev. John Jones have been almost synonymous for more than thirty years past, and deeply must the congregation feel their loss ; and yet we hardly wonder at the course the rev. gentleman has tc.ken, for at his time of life he is entitled to seek for less labo rious occupation in his Lord's vineyard, and being still in good health, we trust there are funny days of useful ness and peace before him. The congregation at Water loo may well rejoice at the appointment, and the trustees will feel that they have faithfully discharged the impor tant trust, and while the large congregation of St. An drew's cannot but lament the position they are placed in, we have every confidence in Sir John Gladstone, the patron, that a successor will be appointed worthy to follow in the footsteps of their kind pastor, and to carry on the good work at which he has laboured so long and so suc cessfully. PHONETIC READING. The following facts, being the result of an experiment made by Mr. Henry Pitman, to teach Phonetic Reading to the inmates of the Liverpool Workhonse, will interest our readers. A class consisting of about thirty persons, of both sexes, and of ages varying from ten to eighty, received one hours' instruction from Mr. Pitman daily, for a month. At the commencement of the lessons, the instruction was im parted by the aid of the Phonetic Tablets. From these they learned the alphabet in ten lessons, and from that moment the success of the experiment appeared certain. No difficulty was afterwards experienced. The progress of the pupils was truly marvellous. Before the expiration of the month, the majority of them could read simple language with the utmost confidence and ease. Various works in Phonetic printing were read thrcugh by the class, including the following portions of the Sacred Scriptures : The Parables, Miracles, and the Sermon on the Mount. When the class had received twenty-two lessons, an examination of each member was made by the governors of the committee, who expressed their surprise and de light at the progress made by the pupils. It was found that many of them were able to read books printed in the common type. This was a satisfactory proof, that the shortest way of becoming acquainted with the present system of reading, was to commence with the phonetic. We have no doubt that such is the case, because of the near resemblance which (the two systems bear to each other. Twenty-three out of the twenty-six letters of the Roman alphabet are employed in the phonetic system. there can be no doubt that it would be a great boon to the civilized world if the phonetic system could be brought into general use. Its advantage to foreigners in learning our language must be apparent to all. At the conclusion of Mr. Pitman's benevolent labours at the Workhouse, the following resolution was passed by the committee : _ At a meeting of the Workhouse Committee, held 30th day of May, 1850, present, Joseph Cafferata, Esq., chair man, &c., .Resolved,—That having witnessed the successful result of Mr. Henry Pitman's method of teaching to read on the Phonetic System, whereby a number of inmates of this house, who could not read before, have been taught to read with fluency in twenty-four lessons of one hour each, this committee desire to record their very great gratifica tion thereat; and, inasmuch as Mr. Pitman's labours have been perfectly voluntary and gratuitous, beg to ten der him their cordial thanks for the same. Also Resolved, that a copy of the foregoing resolution be transmitted to Mr. Pitman by the vestry clerk. ( Signed) CHAS. HART, Vestry Clerk. To Mr. Henry Pitman. FLOATING OFF OF THE THIRD TUBE OF THE BRI TANNIA BRlDGE.—Yesterday morning the third tube was successfully floated off from the Carnarvon side of the straits to the opposite side, and floated in position for being hoisted to its final elevated position, between the Anglesea Tower and the Central Britannia Tower. A greater number of civil engineers were present on this than on the former occasions of a similar operation when the tubes now forming one permanent line across the straits were respectively floated off. There were present, Robert Stephenson, Esq., the engineer of the works; G. R. Stephenson, Brunch, Bidder, Locke, and E. C. Clarke, engineers ; also Captain Claxton, R.N., who has all along had the management of the floa'ing depart ment. Mr. R. Stephenson, Mr. Clarke, and others, were on the ground by three o'clock in the morning, superin tent ing the first preparations. About a quarter past seven o'clock, Captain Claxton (under whom were a large num ber of seamen and others) gave orders for the tube to be moved, which was immediately and skilfully complied with. In canting round, one end of the tube caught a beam that projected from one of the scaffolds; but the obstructing part was soon sawn off, and the weather and tide being highly favorable, the huge and ponderous iron mass, was, at about half-past nine o'clock, safely and with great facility deposited at each extremity on the stone work formed to receive it, The pontoons upon which it floated were at a quarter before ten, released from under it, by the admission of water into them, and it rested in the glory of its own strength (as the former tubes had done), without the slightest apparent deflexion. There were not so many spectators as on the former occa sions, the novelty of the operation having in a great mea sure worn off. The most interesting feature of the occasion was the appearance on the tops of the two tubes already fixed in their airy altitude of some 150 to 200 people, who were admitted to that position to view the fete. Seen from either shore, their appearance was strange, and highly interesting. They had with them a powerful band of music, who, when the tube glided beau tifully into its place between the towers, played " I'm afloat ! I'm afloat !" The completion of the operation was hailed by the most enthusiastic cheers from the shores, the barges round the tube, and the crowd on the two elevated tubes. We need scarcely add that a joyful holiday was afterwards enjoyed by the workmen. Up wards of 100 sailors, sent from Liverpool, were present, and gave all the assistance at the capstans, &c., that was required. TILE EXHIBITION OF 1851.—1 n compliance with an official note from the Mayor to the representatives of Abercromby Ward, a meeting was held last evening at the Adelphi Hotel, to devise the most expedient means of furthering the object of H.R.H. Prince Albert. A depu tation from the committee attended ' • there were also present Alderman Procter, Mr. B. Hall, T.C., Mr. Pitcher, Mr. Gardner, T.C,, Mr. Grantham, &c. Alder man Procter was called to the chair. After waiting in vain for an accession to the meeting, he proceeded to the business of the meeting ; he thought it was incumbent on the town to pay some little respect to Prince Albert, bearing in mind the gracious intercourse he had held with the town on a late occasion. The minutes of the com mittee were read. Mr. Grantham regretted the response to these labours was so faint. Mr. Griffiths thought the lukewarmness complained of was to be attributed to the want of energy on the part of the originators of the pro. ject, and ;many of these gentlemen whose names were put down, had not paid anything as yet. He proposed that the list be read over. This was accordingly done. The Polytechnic Society have raised nearly £lOO among their members. The chairman said it appeared that the gentlemen who first proposed the matter had left it to be worked out by others. If the meeting were prepared to do the paying and the working Nut of the business, it was for them to do so. For himself, he was glad to have his same put down for a small contribution. Mr. Gard ner, though not sympathising with the object of the exhibition, considered that they had a duty to perform towards his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the mayor, and their worthy chairman. He was ready to add his name to the list. As there were not more than three or four inhabitants of the ward present, no resolution was come to, the deputation having met with the same reception that they found in Vauxhall Ward, on Saturday evening. Mr. Pitcher, before the meeting separated, would propose a resolution which was a vote of thanks to the chairman, and, in doing so, he wished it to be understood that if the project should turn out to bs a failure, that failure ought not to be attributed to any want of appreciation on the part of the town generally ; it would be clearly owing to the desertion of the cause by the very parties whopeiginated it. He considered that those parties had misled the royal commissioners by giving them to understand that great things might be looked for from Liverpool, and then withdrawing from it altogether. A gentleman attributed the failure to the free-trade measures, but he was convinced this had nothing to do with the matter, as gentlemen of all shades of politics had been engaged on the committee ; there was nothing of political feeling in the matter, He had stated the bare cause of the limited support ex tended to the project, and he was desirous the public should be informed rightly on that point.—Mr. Hall seconded Mr. Pitcher's motion ; after which the Chair man returned thanks, and thus the meeting ended. VENTILATION.—As a proof of the benefit of ventilation in the 'ween decks of passenger ships, we may mention that the ship Philadelphia, Captain Stotesbury, which arrived here on Friday, made her outward passage to New York with 630 souls on board without a single case of sickness. The Countess of Sefton had a soiree dansante last Saturday night, at the family mansion in Belgrave-square. About 300 personages of distinction were invited to the re-union. In the spacious dining-room tables were pro vided with every luxury of the season. The Duke of Wellington honoured her ladyship by his presence at the party, and among the other visitors of rank was his Serene Iligline3s Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. Tuu NVLA - riil,R, during the past week, has been most genial and delightful, with generally brilliant sunshine, tempered in its effect by gentle breezes. The progress of vegetation has been unusually rapid. (after the p ro t rac t e d cold up to the second week in May); and th e country never looked more lxautilul, or more promising, gene rally, in field or in garden. We have had some fine soft showers, and there is some slight indi ca ti on o f anot h er downfall. which would certainly be benefi c i a l, es p ec i a lly in stiff and clayey soils. We learn that the potatoe crop looks well, and that the probability is, that the disease will scarcely, if at all, attack the plant this year. Garden stuffs, (whichwere backward), are beginning rapidly to cheaFen. LATER FROM AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. The British and North American royal mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Lang, arrived here yesterday afternoon a little before three o'clock, having left Boston on the 29th ult., and Halifax on the 31st ult. She has brought forty five passengers, but no specie. New York news, by tele graph, to the evening of the 30th ult., has been received by her. The steam-ship Asia, Captain Judkin. arrived at Halifax at half-past five on the morning of the 27th ult., in eight days seventeen hours from Liverpool. She reached Boston at quarter past one o'clock, p.m., on the 28th ult., having made the passage in a quarter of an hour above ten days. The Hibernia spoke the steam-ship America on the 2d instant, on her outward passage, two days from Halifax. On Sunday last the Hibernia spoke the Cambria off Dursey Island. The Hibernia and Pacific made about an equal passage, giving the Hibernia twenty hours for going via Halifax. The most important intelligence which she brings is the failure of the Cuban expedition. It appears that the town of Cardenas remained a short time in the hands of the invaders, who, however, became dissatisfied with their warm reception, and having lost time in getting the wounded and fuel on board the steamer Creole, which was to return for reinforcements, became disheartened, and insisted upon going to Key West. She immediately left the port with Gen. Lopez on board, and was closely pursued by the Spanish war steamer Pizarro, but escaped, and arrived at Key West. Prior to leaving Cardenas, the invaders set fire to the Governor's house, and fought two skirmishes with the troops, during which several were killed on both sides. On the 26th ult. great excitement was produced at Savannah by the arrival of Gen. Lopez, who was immediately arrested by the United States Marshal, acting under the orders of the President. His aid-de-camp was also taken into custody. They were carried before Judge Nichols, of the District Court, which was densely crowded. No evidence being ad duced to justify commitment, the parties were dis charged at about a quarter to twelve last night, amidst great cheering among the spectators, and escorted to his lodgings at the City Hotel, by a large number of citizens. Being loudly called for, he came out before the people, and made an animated speech, interrupted by the plaudits of the multitude. He declared it to be his inflexible pur pose to persist in his enterprise, and was determined to go on until Cuba is free and disenthralled from the yoke of Spain. at all risks and at every hazard. This announce ment was received with cheers. The General presented a pleasing and intelligent appearance. The steam-ship Crescent City, from Chagres, reached New York on the 25th ult. with 200,000 dollars in gold dust, and the steamer Tennessee arrived at Panama on the 12th ult., having left San Francisco on the 21st April. She brought 588,000 dollars in gold dust. It was re ported to be very healthy at Panama, and the steamers now due, and those there, will take all persons waiting for passage. The number of Americans transacting busi ness at Panama had greatly increased. The business of transporting passengers up the Chagres river is fast going into the hands of the Americans. At Chagres it appears to be healthy. The Tennessee brought no mail for the United States. Sacramento river was again overflowed, worse than it was before, much damage being done to property. John H. Peoples, editor of the first American paper published in Mexico during the war, Lieut. Bache, of the U. S. navy, Lieut. Browning, and two others, were drowned in an unfortunate expedition to Trinidad Bay, —a newly-discovered safe harbour. Mr. Cornwall, of Buffalo, New York, a passenger in the Tennessee, has it is said realised between two and three hundred thousand pounds during his residence in California. At San Francisco lumber and provisions were very low, and frame houses would scarcely pay for cost of freight. A city, called Plumes, he^ been erected on the Sacramento, where lots of land are selling rapidly, and at high prices. Henri Herz, the pianist, had given three concerts at San Francisco with great success. A meeting of merchants had been held to raise the value of gold from 16 to 17 dol lars ; but the proposition met with much disapprobation. Business was dull, but had materially improved, and the prospects for the spring and summer trade were most flattering. A destructive fire, by which eight houses were burned, occurred at Sacramento. The loss of stores was also very heavy. An express from San Francisco to Sacramento now runs every two weeks, with papers, letters, and goods. A lump of gold and quartz, weighing 127 ounces, has been found in Auburn Dry Dig gings. No fewer than 62,223 passengers arrived at San Francisco trom April 12th, 1849, to April 15th, 1850. Real estate has fallen to at least one third its former value, and there are few operations even at that. The accounts from the mines are satisfactory, and it is believed that of those employed in them, the majority are realizing a fair remuneration for their labour. Many of the mills in the manufacturing districts in Virginia are stopping. In the smaller factories of Ala bama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Ohio, however, it is said that business is quite flourishing, and that new cotton mills are built every month. The performances at Astor-place Theatre have been stopped in consequence of a strike among the company. News from Gibraltar, Texas is to the 17th ult. The rivers were all overflowed, and many plantations greatly injured. The Indians continue to commit their depreda tions. One of the heaviest mining and manufacturing firms in Schuyskill county, Pennsylvania, has failed for a very large amount. It appears by the St. Louis papers that the whole Western country is just beginning to feel the effects of the failure of the wheat crop of last year. In Illinois, not more than one-third of a crop was raised, and in other States the deficiency was very ereat. The interin.• to be comparatively bare of breadstuffs, and it is expected that many steamboats employed on the Western rivers in the transportation of produce will soon be laid up on account of the absence of business. Many flouring mills at the West have stopped for the want of grain to grind. PASSENGERS BY THE ROYAL-MAIL STEAMER HI BERN lA.—From Boston. —Mr. Rodewald and lady ; Mr. Tell and lady ; Mrs. A. P.

New YORK, May 27, 6 p.m. The sales on Friday reached 4,000 bales, on Saturday 2,800, and to-day comprise about 1,200 bales, without change in prices. From the south there is no change in the prospects for the nt-w crop. We furnish the following particulars of the pre sent one, as compared with that of the year before, from the Charleston Prices Current: — Receipts at ports this year, bales 1,895,000 Do. do. last year, same date 9 ,544,000 Deficit of this year ; 649,000 Exports to Great Britain this year, bales .... 745,000 Do. do. last year Deficit of exports to Great Britain.

The bills for establishing mints in St. Francisco and New York are likely to pass. The steamer Philadelphia arrived here last night with over half a million gold dust on freight, besides that brought by passengers. She brings Jamaica news of 21st May. Her Majesty's schooner Bermuda has captured and taken into Port Royal a Brazilian slaver with 250 slaves. The Canadian House of Assembly was en gaged yesterday in discussing propositions for making the Legislative Council elective to all government offices, and addressing the Queen to pay the Governor's salary out of the imperial treasury, and for r ed uc i ng the expenses of the civil list. The address in answer to the speech from the throne was carried in the Assembly yesterday by a vote of 44 to 18. The principal topics argued were an nexation r.,nd the elective institutions.
