BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS. —At the monthly meeting, on Tuesday, Mr. Greene in the chair, on the recommendation of the Finance Committee, Mr. John Stewart was selected arbitrator on the part of Mr. Laird with respect to the valuation of the Park land, and Mr. J. A.

DARING OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY AT BROMBOROUGH. —Another of those daring robberies, accompanied with intimidation, which have lately taken place in Cheshire, was perpetrated on the evening of Monday last, at the residence of Philip Quirk, Esq., at Brarnborough, near Easthain. Mr. Quirk is a retired gentleman, living with his wife and family at a house on the road between the above -named village and Bromborough railway station, which is rather lonely situated, there being no other house within a distance of about a quarter of a mile. Between seven and eight o'clock, as one of the male servants went into the house with his milk cans, he was followed by two men, who immediately seized him and secured him, and also the other servants (all females), swearing that the first person who gave any alarm they would blow their brains out. The two men were dressed in slops, and had black crape masks over their faces, one being armed with a blunderbuss, and the other with a brace of pistols. They also said that there were four others outside within call, who would come to their assistance in an instant if any alarm was given. The villains then went into the drawing-room, where Mr. Quirk was sitting reading, and demanded his watch and all the plate and money in the house, one of them presenting the blunderbuss at his head, and threatening to blow his brains out if he dared to refuse. They then cleared the sideboard of all the plate on it. One of the men then went up stairs, whilst the other stood guard at the bottom. On coming down stairs the ruffians entered the drawing-room, and in the presence of Mr. Quirk deliberately packed up their plunder in the cloth which covered the table, and walked away. Previous to leaving the house, they told the inmates that any one who went out of doors within half an hour, or followed them out, would be shot. A reward of £5O has been offered for the apprehension of the vil lains. The property stolen is estimated at about £l5O. THE PRINCE ARTHUR EMIGRANT SHIP. THE strong desire to share in the riches of the Australian gold fields is, with most persons, considerably damped by the fears of the discomforts in the " middle paszage." It is th ere f ore of great importance that in fitting out emigrant ships the utmost care should be taken to provide for the comfort of the passengers ; and intending emi grants will do well to regard this point before committing themselves to a voyage of uncertain length and dangers little known. Among the many vessels announced to start for the gold fields, the Prince Arthur, named after the youngest scion of the Royal stock, has a prominent title to public favour. She was built at Quebec last year, and since purchased by Mr. Wm. Sharp, of this town, under whose inspection she has been entirely overhauled and fitted for the Australian trade. She registers 1,146 tons, and may be classed about 2,000 tons burthen. She has been put together with every regard to strength and speed, and her ponderous timbers are well fastened with iron knees and bracings. She is 173 feet long ;31 feet beam ; depth of hold, 23 feet. She has very stout spars, neatly rigged, and will carry about 4,000 yards of canvas, under which she can make thirteen knots an hour, " fair sailing." She has a poop deck and topgallant forecastle, connected by a long deck-house, and over the whole a clear promenade 160 ft. long. There is a passage on each side 9f the main deck, with every protection for passen gers in heavy weather. The houses and quarter-deck are aPpropriated for saloons, one of them the chief cabin, and ahead of this the Prince's, Victoria, and Albert Saloons ; the sides of which are panelled into state rooms with sleeping berths, ventilated above and below. They are all light and roomy apartments, neatly decorated, and having a very cheerful appearance. There are spacious cooking galleys for passengers, and under the forecastle there are tsaheower-baths and other conveniences permanently at lied. The ,and decks are full nine feet high, and the accommodation here is divided into three classes, the after part forming the second cabin, 'midships the "inter. m ediate" a d the extreme forward, the third cabin. The Prince Arthur is .one of Messrs. J. S. de Wolf and Co.'s Liverpool Packets for which Mr. J. M. Walthew is passenger-40°a for about 450 p sse She has excellent accommodation and the greater part of the berths are alreadya en n g r r e s d . On Wednesday, a sefeschtiiTintany were entertained on board this magnificent need dejeuner, which, for quantity, quality, and varletnot be surpassed. It was supplied lveY '.." Walk °b of eCnlidaisplll..-7.%t: Mr. Shar ks the owner, occupied the Walthew the vice chair. G ov Gould, the usual loyal toasts, Mn, Gont.n, of the firm of Gould, Davis, and Co., proposed the health of Mr. Sharp, the owner, and success to the Prince Arthur. He us that the Prince Arthur would be like the late Duke. H e never lost a battle. Might she never lose e a voyage 1 and might her owner be as gratified. _i t %h lri:ex Ploits as the country was with the services of h Duke o f Wellington. Mr. SH ARP t rus t e d t h at the Pr i nce A rt h ur would do all, for the go o d o f h er passengers, as well as her owner which Mr. Gould had anticipated. They d that she w as to l era b ly well fitted up, and that wou would nave acvoemsfeoerri and welfare o f h er passengers bad received much consi deration. A s with everything in the present day, nothing had been done for self. The owner's desire was to make Passe ngers comfortable, and to benefit the country b conveying away its surplus population. That was the only object they had in going to such extravagance. _ Mr. WALTHENV said Mr. Sharp had already named that he had a good ship ; but they all knew that a g o o d ship Was nothing without a good captain. lie had great pleasure in proposing the health of Captain King. He had a serious re sponsibility in taking charge of a ship like that, for he had also to take charge of nearly 500 souls, who would probably be on board before leaving the port. From the probably be Captain King, they might hope that he would fulfil that duty efficiently ; and, from what he could judge of the intercourse which he had already had with him, he f e l t Perfectly satisfied that he wouldstudy the comfort and convenience of all the passengers. They all knew that a great deal was done by c i v ilit y; an d , alt hough he mi g ht have passenger rnedi ately connected with hi m sin th e ca bi n more im , yet he sh ould pay the same atte ntion to th e most inferior,--- the one who occupi e d the b etween -decks, equally withto him who dined at his own tabl e . In drinking Captain King's health, he could only hope,th at ho would emulate the passages of previous ships to Australia because a quick passage was of :moor, the passenti•ers, but to the owner and himself. _ earn the ship a character, and be back speedily. Captain KING said no effort should be wanting on his part to give that satisfaction and comfort to those about to embark in the Prince Arthur, which they so much required i❑ quitting their native land. He felt assured that, under the able management of the gentlemen con nected with that line of Australian packets, every attention would be paid to their comfort, her stores being of the first quality. Although he did not expect to make the passage in the unprecedentedly short time of the Marco Polo, he should use all care, consistent with the safety of the ship, to keep close upon her heels. From what he saw of the ship, he felt confident she was calculated to make a quick passage, and some particulars as to her might be interesting. She was 175 feet in length over all, with a 33-feet beam ; was 23 feet deep ; and she would, when under full sail, spread upwards of 4,000 yards of nd not be much behind them ; The CHESHIRE HOUNDS will meet -' ttnce, not only to To-morrow (Wednesday), Jan. 12th ..

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY The betting since Tuesday has been limited. Yester day, Richmond, for the Metropolitan Handicap, was the only horse in demand ; 1,000 to 40 was taken in one bet, 20 to 1 was the highest offer at the close.—Umbriel, for the Derby, looked healthy in the market ; and Lady Evelyn, for the Chester Cup, would have been backed at 1,0000 to 20. LIVERPOOL STEEPLE CHASE. 15 to 1 agst Mr. Mason's Miss Mowbray—taken. 100 to 6 Mr. W. Barnett's Sir Peter Laurie—tk. 20 to 1 Mr. Steven's Knight of Gwynne—taken canvas The toast of " The Agents of the Vessel" was re sponded to by Mr. DE WOLF, and also by Mr. WALTHENV, who said he never felt more pleasure or satisfaction in submitting any ship to the public than he had in sub mitting the Prince Arthur, because he was certain the accommodations were such as every one must be satisfied with. The emigration from this port had increased won derfully within the last twelve months. He had taken a memorandum of the number of passengers who had left Liverpool for Australia within the last four years. That morning, to make the return complete, he had sent to the government emigration office to know the number who left in 1852, up to the 31st December, but they were too busy to furnish the m . However, taking the number of ships, and the average number of passengers in each, he could form a near estimate. Before 1849, London almost exclusively monopolised the Australian emigration trade ; but in that year he found that 675 passengers left Liver pool • in 1850, wh en th e trade wasenlarged, the number was 1,051. In 1851 the number was only 1,750 ; but when we come to 1852, including free emigrants, those who left amounted to no less than 40,000. In that year, thanks to the exertions of Messrs. John S. do Wolf and Co., they had got permission of the government to embark free emigrants from Liverpool instead of Plymouth, and the depot had been established at Birkenhead, in the first instance, at the sole risk of Messrs. de Wolf and Co. He would take the number of free emigrants at 20,000, and that left 20,000 who had embarked from Liverpool at their own expense ; and he found, on 'oohing over the books, that he (Mr. Walthew) and those with whom lie was in connexion, had sent about 5,000, or one-fourth ; and he might say of those vessels that had arrived out, there had been no mortality on board, except of infants. He believed that in all instances (and it was a curious fact) the number of children born on the passage, and landed in Australia, had always equalled the number who died ; so that they landed in Australia exactly the number of passengers as had embarked on the Mersey. Now it was curious that the mortality said to have taken place in some vessels which had left here was confined to the vessels which had embarked free emigrants from Birk enhead ; and this he thought was accounted for by the fact that those passengers were of an inferior class, and probably carried out with them the seeds of disease en gendered before leaving the Mersey. It was not owing to the want of ventilation, for he had inspected some of those ships, and had seen that the ventilation could not be sur passed ; besides, they had passed the inspection of Capt. Patey, who was about to leave us, and who was known to be a very strict man. Another subject to which he should like to allude was, the wonderful passages which had been made from Liverpool. He said, in the early part of the year, that he was sure some of our Liverpool ships would astonish in that respect. They had sent, in May last, a vessel to Australia, built at St. John's, as was the Marco Polo and the Eagle • and his b ro th er , w h o was a pas senger, stated th a t die) , fell in with a vessel called the Abergeldie, an Aberdeen clipper, laden from London to China ; that he was perfectly astonished at the way that their ship ran away from the Abergeldie ; and that she sailed in ten successive days 2,750 miles. It proved the quality of these colonial-built ships. He had heard men of experience say that the vessels built in the colonies were only tubs. lie thought these " tubs" would show them an example shortly which would open their eyes, raise these ships in the estimation of the peo ple, and that even the celebrated American clippers would not be able to surpass them in swiftness. Mr. J. AMEY spoke of the estimation in which Liver pool ships for Australia were held by London brokers. The great thing to satisfy passengers was to give them good provisions, and this they had in vessels leaving this port, for there was not one in twenty of which we received any unfavourable account. The only complaint which had been heard was that from the passengers in the Great Britain ; and he believed that this was traceable only to the fact that the gentlemen who were third-class passen gers would be satisfied with nothing less than turtle soup and fresh steaks every day. He gave the health of Mr. Gould. Mr. GOtTLD said, as regarded the Great Britain, he believed there never was a more groundless case of com plaint. There was not a 'more respectable firm than Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Co. They used extra pains to have everything of the best quality, and the house was noted for paying the highest price for their goods. To his own knowledge, they paid higher prices for the stores put on board that ship than the firm with which he was connected had ever paid. They were men of a very nice sense of honour ; and he had no doubt that they were mortified at the infamous charge brought against them. Mr. WALTHEW then proposed " The Press," in re sponding to which, Mr. BLAKE, of the Standard, spoke of the fact that most of the complaints of the treatment of emigrants had been in connection with London ships, while Liverpool, in common with her general commercial superiority, had taken the lead in emigration. The company shortly afterwards broke up. EARL GanNv------tu,E.—The Lord President of the Coun cil, while hunting on Tbursday at Woburn Abbey, Bed fordshire, experienced a fall which broke his collar-bone. He is, however, progressing satisfactorily. DIAMONDS IN AUSTRALIA.—Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thos. Mitchell, Surveyor-General of New South Wales, has brought with him a diamond of good form and of the finest water, weighing three-quarters of a carat, found at the gold diggings at Ophir, west of Bathurst; and also a sapphire, found in the same locality. NEW BISHOPRIC OF NATAL. The consent of her Majesty's government has been obtained to the immediate creation of an English bishopric at Natal, at present under the episcopal jurisdiction of the Bishop of Cape Town. It is stated that the first appointment will be given to the Rev. T. W. Weeks, M.A., incumbent of St. Thomas's Church, Waterloo -road, London. THE E AST I NDIAN CHARTER.—A very important peti from tion to parliament has b een f orwarded to this country practical working of the Indian Ba. The petitioners pray overnme n for inquiry into the , and suggest many reforms. Th e existing system of the despotic and secret method in which the administration of the local governments is conducted is reprobated ; the claims of natives to fill judicial positions are urged ; the cost of the civil service is complained of ; the deficient means of in ternal communication are pointed out ; and stress is laid the nuo Cher fact that, although the net revenue is £1,028,285, ne devotes only £12,000 for educational pur poses. The petition has already received 3,000 signatures. et................___ SPORTINGENeK LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLE CHASE. . AdAbd el Kader, a...... Little Charley ..

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCIIESTER.—There has been a moderate demand for printing cloths, skirtings, longcloths, and T's, at the full prices previously obtainable; and there is rather more inquiry for domestics, principally for exportation; but these articles are still in a most unsatisfactory state, and stocks must be lessened before they can become remunerative. Very different is the position of the lighter as well as the finer makes of cloth, which are in general well engaged. In yarns the Indian houses are now doing less than they were, and the home con /miners purchase very cautiously, whilst the Germans continue quite out of the market. Spinners are, however, for the most part, free from stocks, and pretty well supplied with contracts; so that prices remain firm. In the earlier part of last week there was a disposition amongst producers to harden in their terms, arising partly from the advance in cotton in the United States, and partly from an expectation of an augmented de mand with the opening year. The tone of the market was not, however, fully maintained as the week advanced. This was more perceptible on Friday, in consequence of the rate of interest having been raised from 2 to 2i per cent. by the Bank of England. The state of the weather, and the heavy orders sent out for foreign wheat, are giving rise to some uneasiness in commercial circles. RocunALE.—The market last week was thinly attended, and a very limited amount of business transacted. This is g e nerally the case from Christmas-day to the new market, which was held yesterday (Monday). Wool continues to be a little firmer, and English wool to be more scarce. LEEDs.—The public markets continue of the same quiet but cheerful character that we have for some time had to report. The manufacturers in general continue well employed, and stocks do not at all accumulate, the demand being equal to the supply. No noticeable alteration in prices. NOTTIN3IIA.M.—The lace trade continues in a great measure depressed, but a renewal of demand is speedily looked for. The hosiery trade is good in nearly every branch, with a fair prospect of remaining so for a length of time. There is not any alteration in the price of yarn, LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1853. ready buyers at extreme rates to 10s. per ton advance, ruling from .t - 16 to .81S 2s. 6d. for low mid, to fine, and 7s. 6d. per ton for very fine LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7 The market after the taking of stock became rather dull, bu t upon the arrival of the steamer on Tuesday, advising higher prices in America, resumed its firmness. Subsequently the Arctic's accounts being less favourable, holders evinced more disposition to realise, and although no change can be made in quotations, rather easier rates hate since been accepted. Egyptian continues in the same nominal state, and Brazil must be quoted id. per lb. lower. The demand for Surat con tinues fair, and prices are without material change. Specula tors have taken 1430 American, 50 Maranham, 100 Egyptian, and 640 Surat ; and there are reported for export, 600 Ameri can, 20 Pernam, 180 Surat, and 50 Madras.

MANCHESTER, JAN. B.—Our market to-day is without any particular change; purchasers of both Wheat and Flour con fine their transactions to the supplyof immediate requirement, and although in some instances a slight reduction in price is submitted to in order to promote business, yet the alteration is not sufficiently marked to warrant any alteration in prices. PRESTON, JAN. B.—We had a fair supply of English Wheat at our Corn Exchange To-day, which met a free sale, and late rates were well sustained. Very little passing in Foreign, and our quotations are nearly nominal. Flour inactive, and the turn in favour of the buyers. Beans and Peas as before. Oats in limited request, without any material change in value. Farmers' Oatmeal p:entiful, and offered freely at a reduction of Gd. to Is. per load. The sale for Irish new has been quite of a retail character, at an abatement of 6d. per load, and a still further concession would have been submitted to on old, but the demand for it has nearly ceased, and little or no progress could be made. Bran 6d. per peck lower. WAKEFIELD, JAN. 7.—There is a good supply of Wheat at this day's market, and the trade is firm at last week's prices. There is a good sale for the best descriptions of Barley, at improved rates; in secondary qualities no alteration. Oats and Beans about the same as last week. WISBECH, JAN. B.—Although we have had rain more or less every day for some time, yet there is a fair quantity of grain at our market to-day. The farmers part with their sam• pies of Wheat with reluctance, at last week's rates, and find ready buyers. Oats are 6d. to Is. per qr. dearer. Beans and Peas are unaltered in value. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JAN. B.—At our market to day there was a good delivery of Wheat from the farmers, which met with an improved demand ; the best-conditioned samples, in many instances, made Is. per qr. more money. The supplies coastwise are liberal, but from abroad no arrivals are reported. There was decidedly a better feeling in the trade to-day, and a fair amount of business was transacted in all descriptions of quality, at the extreme rates of last week. The arrivals of Barley have fallen off, and the best malting descrip tions sold more freely, although no advance in price could be obtained. The supplies of Oats being limited, sales were more free, at rather over late rates. In the value of other Grain no change. Flour, owing to large supplies, a dull sale; but prices cannot be quoted lower, BELFAST, JAN. 7.—We have had a better attendance this day. 'Wheat and Flour must be quoted a shade lower. Indian Corn little inquired after, and no white here. _ . CORK, JAN. B.—Flour has a moderate consumptive sale at late rates; the supply of seconds and thirds continue scarce.

Beef, sinking offal, 42s to 43s ; prime, 50s per cwt. ; Mutton, 5d to 6d and 60 ; Veal, bid per lb. Pork, 40s to 41s and 42s per cwt.; with a good show of fairly finished Pigs, and the demand good.
