At the Liverpool Corn Market to-day there was again a limited attendance of local a s we ll as country millers and the demand for Wheat is little more than retail; not withstanding, th e tone of the trade is on the whole somewhat more firm, without any large quantity offering for sale ; th e reduction quotable is 2d on red, and 2d to 3d p er cental on white Wheats since this day week. W e have also only a retail inquiry for Flour, at a decline of 6d per barrel and is per sack. Egyptian Beans inactive at the reduction noted in our last. Oats and Oatmeal unchanged. Yellow Indian Corn must be noted 6d to 9d, and white is 6d per quarter lower on the week, with scarcely any business done. The weather has remained fine and dry with hot sunshine during the days and cold nights, so that vegetation has not progressed much last week ; still sonic advance is perceptiblee moisture and warmth together being only wanted to restore the country in a good measure from the untoward effects of an almost unprecedentedly harsh and backward season. In the hope of such a favourable change, and a consequent influence on prices, consumers at all our country markets have operated much less actively, and the tendency in the value of Wheats has been towards a slight decline, in some cases to the extent of is per quarter. Our prices are relatively lower than the Continental districts from which good supplies are on the way, and leave also scarcely a margin on the latest American quotations. These supplies may for a while fill up part of the void caused by an extensive reduction of stocks at outports, but 2 as operations abroad cannot be renewed except to manifest disadvantage, the trade must agai n depend much on home resources in farmers' hands, which, though there are conflicting opinions, are more generally believed to be rather small than otherwise. Business here since Friday has been very inactive in all its branches. Imports of the week are to a fair extent of grain, and large of Flour; there is a considerable export of Wheat and Indian Corn to Ireland. There was some quantity of rain early this morning in this locality, as well as in many other parts of the country. ARRIVALS AND EXPORTS From the Ist to the 7th May, 1880, inclusive.

The Liverpool Colonial Produce Market to-day was tolerably active and firm. SUGAR.—There continues a fair enquiry, and steady prices are realised; 90 hhds. Jamaica are reported at 39s to 40s 6d, 139 hhds. Antigua at 37s 6d to 41s, 2,800 bags low brown Mauritius at 345, and a floating cargo of Paraiba, for an out port, at 23s 9d per cwt. MOLASSES and RUM.—We have nothing further to notice. COFFEE.—At the public sales, held to-day, 200 tierces; of Plantation Ceylon were offered, and sold with fair competition, bringing chiefly 69s to 73s for low to middling coloury, up to 76s 6d for good middling bold; 1,400 bags Native were also put up, but only 250 bags were disposed of, at 62s to 62s 6d per cwt. for fine ordinary picked. RICE.—The Bengal offered by auction sold readily, 550 bags realising 14s 7id to 15s. per cwt. for good to fine table. LINSEED. —Nearly 2,000 bags have found bUyeys at 51s 3d to 51s 6d for Bombay, and at 49s per quarter for Bengal. : - (Extracts from Messrs. T.'4 , H Littledale's Circular, Bth May. TEA.—After the date of our last circular a little firmer tone was Manifested, and a few trans actions were 'entered into in blackish-leaf kinds up to is Bd—in the past week the dealers have bought rather more freely in - most sorts, of con gou at full to a shade advance in prices. There have been two mails from. China, letters by the last were delivered on 27th ult., with dates from Hong Kong 15th and Foo-chow-Foo and Shan ghee sth March, stating total exports 69,000,000 lbs against - 48,000,000 . 1b1 same period last year, and the stocks at the shipping ports were getting into a small compass, which has however had no effect on the home market. Blacks : Common sound shipping qualities may be quoted as is 41d, and the broken leaf dusty kinds at is 3d to is 4d,—there is a fair demand for blackish-leaf Ho-How sorts from is 6d to is 7d, and medium kinds from is 8d to is 9d—stocks of which are light. Very few sales to report in the fine to finest Monings, Oopacks and Kaisows, and prices are. without change— the same will apply to Oolongs and Souchongs. Scented Capers and Orange Pekoes have been neglected—the common grades of each are rather cheaper. Greens : Canton made sorts are in quired for, but there is no 'change to notice in the good to fine Moyune Gunpowder and Young Hyson. On comparing prices with 7th ult, all kinds of Congou maintain full previous rates, whilst common scented Capers and Orange Pekoes are a little easier. We estimate the stock in the United Kingdom at 71,700,000 lbs, against. 64,500,000 lbs,—quantity afloat 14,000,000 lbs, against 19,000,000 lbs same period last year. SILK.—The greater part of last month passed over without any business of . importance . being transacted ; but, towards the close, importers and dealers showed more disposition to sell; and a concession of is to is 6d per lb. from the highest point being made, a considerable business was done, though the deliveries for the last month are less than for some years past, being only 3,930 bales, in which is included 270 bales Japan Silk. Manufacturers are unable to dispose of their goods,'and Silk Throwsters are much in the same sitdatiOn. In Bengal Silks there hai hardly been any .inquiry, and the transactions that, have taken place have been confined entirely to the best European Filatures, at previous rates.. In Italian, Brussa, and Per sian Silks there is no new feature, and prices nominal. East India and China Silk Piece Goods At the public sales, held on the 2nd and 3rd inst. 63,900 pieces of Corahs were brought forward, of which only 8,700 pieces were sold, and these of the best qualities ; the ' remaining 55,200 pieces were withdrawn, as there was no disposition shown to purchase, either by the home trade or by exporters ; and a more depressed state for all descriptions of East India and China Silk Goods we have not known for many years. Knubbs and Husks and Gum Silk Waste : Waste Silk Spinners, though entirely distinct from the Net Silk trade, have experienced the same sus pense and depression. One great feature in their business—the supply of the French market—has for some months past nearly snhsided- The con sequences have been that Waste Silk spinners have greatly contracted their productions; - and, to make sales of either Knubbs and Husks; foreign Gum Waste or home-made, a reduction of 3d. to 6d. per lb. has been submitted to. WooL.—The announcement of the Liverpool public sales at the early part of last month had the effect of arresting business by private con.. tract, and no transactions worthy of note' were entered into. The public sales commenced on the 18th and closed on the 27th ultimo, comprising a total of 22,826 bales, viz.,-9,503 bales Australian and 'Cape, 11,698 bales East. India, 7,337 bales sundries, and. .1,288 sheets English. The first day was set apart exclusively for Australian and other fine wools, and although we were favoured by a very' large attendance of buyers 'and brisk competition, so far as it went, we /levet° report an average decline of ld. per lb. upon good, and I,ld. to 2d. per lb. on inferior and ill-conditioned wools, compared with the London March series; to be accounted for by the stringent money market then prevailing, by the expected enor. mous supplies for the London May' and July series, by the feelings of suspense and uncer tainty as to the French tariff (which prevented the attendance of many foreign buyers) ; and lastly, though chiefly, from the conviction per vading the whole body of buyers, that prices are unprofitably and d angerously high—that when ever, during the last seven years of unrivalled manufacturing expansion, they have attained to, or verged upon, so high a level, they have inva riably met with a sudden and serious drop, arising from either the mere fact itself of too Aigh pries, as in the Loudon May sales of F 56, or from some extraneous incident—as a Cri:nean or Italian war, an American panic, or the ithousand-and-one adverse contingencies to which all mercantile adventutes are a pray to. East In dia Wools brought together an unusually large concourse of buyers, and the whole sold briskly and uniformly at the following rates: — Best whites, yellows, and greys, dto id lower; second whites and yellows, without change ; low to fair greys and yellows, and coarse, middle, and medium white (which qualities made up the bulk of the sales) id to Id per lb. higher' P ersians and natives slightly d earer, — making , together quite as high an average as for the sales in January. A fair proportion of this mis cellaneous Wools were disposed of at current rates, and the Liverpool market is at present quite denuded of all useful qualities of low foreign Wools. English Wools also commanded much attention, and the great bulk of it wato disposed of at very_ full and satisfactory prices.. The", Lo ndon Colonial sales eolimenoecl onjhe ;id mitant, i ac th e and with a less stringent iney ma rket , and French _Tariff -. l;aving; become a: fat ac compl i , , opened at id to lAd per lb declinn.,on, the MarCh series—sine which however, and .most observable. last .tl lO4, attendance' has become less numerous e er : s in' a g n d prices more irregular, in many instances a decline of full 2d per lb. having taken giving-wity - — will reduc e p r i ces t o a 1 4 , :Ppltaie— rcitywttith . those of Liverpool. Frenchmen are present in large numbers, and, being eager buyers, have hitherto been the chief supporters These sales will contain fully 68,000 bales. COTTON : The market was quiet during the first three weeks of last month, and prices gradually gave way about id per lb. for middling, and id to d per lb. for the lower grades. The large receipts and shipments from America, w ith an already heavy stock here, induced holders to offer freely, and with such an abundant supply buyers gained gradually more and more advantage. The low prices, however, caused more inquiry; and as the Manchester market improved considerably, spinners bought very freely. This not only stop ped the decline, but caused more firmness, and an advance of id per lb. in the more current grades. Low Cotton is still very freely supplied, but there is less irregularity in prices. The receipts begin at last to show a slight falling off ; but it is now so late in the season, that the excess cannot. be greatly reduced. The total stocks on the 4th instant were estimated at 1,016,000 against 403,000 bales last year; afloat—American, 430,000 against 450,000 bales last year ; East India, 103,000 against 105,000 bales last year. Total this year, 1,549,000 bales ; last year, 958,000 bales. Spinners are considered to hold heavier stocks of Cotton now than at this time last year, but the present consumption is also greatly in excess of that period, and still increasing week by week. East India Cotton was much depressed during the beginning of the Month, and holders, who were anxious to sell, accepted lowprices. These figures brought spinners and exporters into the market 'as buyers, and with large sales prices improved id to id per lb. - in the current qualities. The stock is still heavy, but there is at present no pressure to sell. GENERAL REMARKS: The general course of business continues remarkably' steady, and during the past fortnight increased activity has pre vailed in several of our large imports, which has stopped the previous drooping tendeney in prices, and given more confidence to holders. The operations in Cotton have been unusually heaV7, the sales for the four weeks amounting to 270,000 bales. Tea, after remaining stagnant since the budget, has experienced increased atten tion the last week or two. Sugar also seems to have turned the lowest point. Coffee is 'in a fair position, and good qualities wanted. Jute and Saltpetre took a jump in value on the announcement of increased freights and addi tional duty 'on the latter, somewhat, greater than could be supported, but neither article can go back much in price, the prospects of supply being more limited than usual. Rice, in sympathy with the corn market, has steadily, though slowly improved ; whilst the diminishing stock and supply place it in a good position for holders. This partial revival in our produce markets has been caused by the returning ease in the money market and by the favourable change in the weather. A clear bright sky'is not without its influence in exhilirating the tone of commercial feeling any more than the dark gloom of a November fog has in depressing it ; the more so at this time as exercising a favourable influence on the coming harvest, which seems to be the centre of interest in looking to - thrfuttiFF. --- MONEY.—The moment the cause of the sudden drain on the Bank, and the consequent drop in their reserve of notes, was found to be the with drawal of a million and a-half of notes by Messrs. Overend & Co., the apprehension of pressure ceased, and the rates of discount in the open market subsided below the Bank minimum for best paper. Does it not seem strange that, ' by the action of one firm, the whole mercantile com munity should be thrown into a state of uncer tainty and alarm, and be made to pay 25 per cent. more for their money accommodation ? but is it not still more strange that a system of cur rency, with such elements of uncertainty' and danger, should be considered, by its supporters, as the most perfect that can be devised by human wisdom, and be viewed with such indifference by the commercial body that no effort is made for its modification ? The fluctuations in the Bank returns are worth reviewing. On the last day of January the rate was raised to 4 per cent., the bullion then standing at £14,900,000, the reserve of notes at £6,800,000, from that date both items steadily increased to the 21st March, when they stood—bullion £15,300,000, reserve £8,700,000 ; thus showing seven weeks of steady, uni form improvement. On the 29th March the Bank suddenly raised the rate to 41, and again the following ' fortnight to 5 per cent. ; their reserve of notes in the mean time having fallen from £8,700,000 to £4,900,000 in a manner quite unaccountable to the public, but who saw, of course, that if such a drain con tinued another fortnight, a most frightful panic must be the consequence. Stop it by raising the rate, says Lord Overstone ! But what rate could stop other discount houses from following the course:of 0. G. & Co., and withdrawing:their own funds to strengthen their own position, since they could get no assistance from the Bank ? and had they done so, what would have been the position of the Bank if only £4,000,000 of the £13,000,000. of deposits had been abstracted from her coffers by this means ? Suspension or Government inter ference must have been inevitable, and a state of confusion throughout the country, even worse than '47 or '57, with every element of individual and national prosperity in the soundest position, and in the fullest activity. Surely a danger escaped will lead to some modification by the Bank to prevent its recurrence. Rates of discount are 43 per cent. for short paper, to 5 per cent. for 3 months; 51 to 5 for longer dates. Zte Agricultural Vf.°hate glarlitt.

The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH FUNDS tO dip was slightly firmer, after a temporary depres sion. Consols opened at the last official prices of yesterday, and became rather heavy in the course of the morning, but eventually a better feeling ensued, and the present quotations are 95k to for money and to-morrow, and 951 to _a for June ; Bank Stock has been dealt in at 2271 and 226; Reduced Three per Cents, 93! and :; New Threes at same; India Stock, 219; India.

The Funds closed at the following prices:-- Consols Money „ Account 951 Exchequer Bills 4 7pm Bank Stock Three per Cents. . . . . . Next Account . . The following appeared in our second edition of yesterday : The funds to-day sustained a fall ofd to I per cent., which was attributed principally to a few speculative sales, combined with the preparations for the monthly settlement fixed for Wednesday. The other departments of the Stock Exchange were likewise dull, but there was no reduction worthy of notice in prices. The demand for money to-day was only moderate, at 41, to 44 per cent. for the best bills, At the Bank business was rather quiet. In some instances applicants may hold back for a day or two, in order not to forego the chance of a reduction in the rate on Thursday.—Daily News. The English funds opened this morning without alteration, but were subsequently heavy on political rumours. The statements principally current were that the relations of Russia and Turkey are again assuming a bad aspect, that Prussia and Denmark are on the eve of a rupture on the Holstein question, and that Mr. Gladstone has found himself compelled to devise new financial expedients to meet the projected outlay for for tifications, and to prepare for future deficiencies. The variety of these suggestions, however, seemed to furnish the best indication of their having been manufactured for speculative purposes. On the other hand, the announcement of the Great Britain from Australia with £190,000, a large portion of which will probably go to the Bank, and the intelligence of a decided rise in the rate of exchange at New York, were calculated to exer cise a _favourable influence, There was again a fair demand for discount at the Bank to-day, It is thought, however, that the amount of bills falling due there during the last few days must have been so considerable as to cause a large recovery in the reserve of motes, and to render a reduction in the rate of discount , on next highly probable. There was again no gold taken to the Bank.—Times. All kinds have met steadibiddings, although as , yet veil , . little Wool has been taken by conti nental buyers.

The working men in different places are also moving in the matter. The " Friends of Italy" have arranged for Italian officers of experience to be sent from this country direct to the field of action. The project of a second Crystal Palace has, for the present at least, fallen through. Tile object in view was to fu rn i s h a s i m il ar p l ace of resort as that which the people in the southern districts of the metropolis enjoy at Sydenham, for those of the northern districts, somewhere in the neigh bourhood of Hampstead. But its promoters have notified that, sufficient capital not having been subscribed, 'there be nc? .o.l.tment of shares at present, and that all applications are considered as cancelled. Another case of banic embezzlement Las been, detected. The cashier of the British Linen Coin- Under no circumstances can communications be inserted not accompanied by the author's real name and address, which are required, not necessarily for publication, but as a guar antee of good faith. In the House of Lords yesterday, Lord Ebury moved an address to her Majesty for the appoint ment of a commission to prepare such alterations and amendments in the canons as may seem desirable. After a few observations from various nobles and right-reverend lords, Lord Ebury withdrew his motion. The Bankrupt and the Pawnbrokers' Bills were read a second time. In the House of Commons, last night, the great subject of debate was the motion for the third reading of the Paper Duty Repeal Bill, which after a lengthened discussion, was carried, and the bill was accordingly read a third time and passed. It will be observed, however, that the majority was a very narrow one—only nine, in a house of 428 members. The bill which, according to Sir G. C. Lewis's intimation in the House of Commons, Ministers have had prepared for the purpose of rendering the rating of tenements uniform, and to charge them on their value, is one that must have an important bearing upon the Reform Bill,—and it is a pity that it cannot now be brought forward and passed. As it is more than probable, however, that either " the pressure of public business," or some other cause, will also prevent the latter important measure being passed this session, the country can all the more conveniently await its enactment. The opponents of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer's Wine Licenses Bill are not considered to have made out a case, by any means, in the House of Commons on Monday night; and hence their signal defeat, notwithstanding the powerful interests by which they were supported. The amendment proposed in their behalf by Mr. Ayrton—" That it was inexpedient to impose a new tax on houses for the sale of intoxicating refreshments, and to promote the consumption of intoxicating drink, by giving increased facilities for retailing the same, and diminishing the con trol exercised by the justices of the peace over houses kept for that purpose," was not based on truth altogether, if at all. The light French and German wines which it will principally promote the consumption of at refreshment rooms can scarcely be considered as " intoxicating." It may be quite true, as it was argued, that " all reasonable opportunities for companionship and enjoyment were afforded by the existing law." But it is not for purposes of " companionship," but of refreshment, that the sale of such wines is to be licensed at eating-houses. We quite agree with Sir M. Peto when he declared, that "his own experience in various parts of the world led him to the opinion that a wine-drinking popula tion was the most sober ;" and the tendency of the bill in question, we humbly think, is likely to be, to influence the habits of the people in that direction—to make them, not a spirit-drinking but " a wine-drinking" population, and thereby promote their sobriety. The movements of Garibaldi are naturally being observed with anxious interest. If it be true that he has succeeded, after all, in embarking for Sicily with his expeditionary corps d'arinee, he has in all probability taken a step that may light afresh the torch of war in . the Italian peninsula. He had already resigned his office in the Sardinian army; but it is said that by acting as he is reported to have done, he has fallen under the application of the law against piracy. The Sardinian Government having ordered the Sar dinian vessels off Sicily to oppose with armed force any attempt which may be made by indi viduals who have embarked in vessels hoisting the Sardinian flag, it is not unlikely that Gari baldi himself may be brought into hostile collision with the Government he has just been serving so faithfully and so well. Money is being sent to him, it seems, from this country. It is stated, we observe, that the Glasgow " Garibaldi Italian THERE appears to be considerable excitement in the metropolis at present, on a subject which is very important in itself, but which is rendered much more so by certain other matters connected with it, all affecting in a most material degree the comfort and convenience of the metropolitan public. We allude to the proposed embankment of the Thames; to consider which, Sir JOSEPH PAXTON has obtained the appointment of a Select Committee of the House of Commons. This is to be regarded as the foundation of one other great project, at least—that of providing an additional thoroughfare, from one end of London to the other, in order to relieve the present thoroughfares of some considerable por tion of their enormous traffic, and to obviate those obstructions to which they are at present so continually liable. According to the account of the proceedings in the House upon the question, Sir J. PAXTON opened his case by observing, as is literally the fact, that the communication be tween one end of the metropolis and the other is becoming more impracticable day after day. He remarked, and without the least exaggeration, that to go from Paddington to London-bridge took as long as to go from London-bridge to Brighton. And the Times maintains that "in reality, this is understating the matter, for an hour might be easily consumed in going not merely from the South-Eastern terminus to the Great Western, but from the same point to Charing-cross. As the season advances, the diffi culty becomes greater and greater. The broadest streets are now often blocked up. Holborn is as likely to be impassable as old Fetter-lane used to be, and it is quite a chance during certain hours of the day whether you can get along Regent street." There are other local considerations of great moment why the work should be imme diately undertaken. With these, however, we here in Liverpool are not so immediately con cerned. Our object in alluding to the subject at all, is to interest our townsmen, not so much in the sundry metropolitan improvements which are involved in the case, as in that particular one of a more convenient and expeditious means of com munication throughout the metropolis and its suburbs, as being a matter in which the people of Liverpool cannot but be interested, since they are so much in want of a similar communication themselves. The proposal for an embankment of the Thames was wisely based by Sir JOSEPH PAXTON on the ground of providing further and better metro politan communications, leaving altogether as a subsidiary consideration the question of the river itself. Not that the importance of this question of the river is lost sight of, or in any wise dispa raged. But, important as it is, the subject of furnish ing greater facilities for locomotion in the great metropolis, and for communication with its sub urban districts, is a still more pressing necessity. As the Standard well observes, " There can be no doubt that some arrangement must be made for the overgrown street traffic of London. When things have come to that pass that it takes a longer time to go from London Bridge to the Great Western Railway than to Brighton, they are sure to mend. Indeed, unless they do mend, the evil being of a cumulative character, a dead lock will soon be the consequence." Now with out dwelling a moment longer on the ease of the metropolis, let us bring the subject here to our own doors. We have not yet, it is true, quite such crowded thoroughfares —our streets are not so subject to obstructions as in the metropolis. But we do quite as urgently need, according to our circumstances, some better, more convenient, and more expeditious means of communication between distant parts of the town, and between the heart of the town and its suburbs, than we have at present. The only means of passenger traffic at present are the huge lumbering omni buses, which are a great nuisance in the streets, and an intolerably slow and otherwise undesira ble public conveyance —utterly out of character with the present age of progress and improve, ment. It is not merely that a full hour or more has to be wasted in passing to, or from a suburban residence to a place of business in the town, — and from how large a proportion of those engaged in business is not this loss of precious time exacted ?—but it is also the uncertainty they so often present of affording the accommodation at all, when it is most wanted, and the further waste of time that has thereby to be incurred. We have more than once lately pointed out the radical remedy fox this inconvenience. Street ----- ritihyuys, running out to the full extent of the • • - - principal suburbs, are found in the United States of America to provide a means of intercourse most admirably suited tc t Ow wants of populous towns, in 411 those respects in which both London and Liverpool require to be accommodated. By such means,---at once so convenient and so prompt,—the interests of all classes of the people may be promoted. In the ordinary every-day intercourse of business life, they provide oppor tunities of intercommunication which, are invalu- able ; while to those wllo, have any distance to go Iletween their dwellings and their places of business, they aro an accommodation, the importance of which must be experienced to be fully understood. Of Liverpool, as Weil as of London, may it, according to its degree, be said, that as its population is rapidly increasing, " its traffic will augment in proportion, a n d as b usiness May be expected to be in a ratio of increase far beyond the addition to the inhabitants, the street conveyance to meet this mass will soon be som e . thing enormous." To relieve the present street thoroughfares, th en, of as much of this trafhe as possible, i s o f itself a tRoAt iniporta,n,t o bj ect ; and this \74 111 4 IN 011 e direct result of such a system of intercommunication as we allude to. There is another important consideration. The pany of Scotland's Melrose branch has been arrested in London, on a charge of appropriating to his own use large sums of the bank's money as it passed through his hands. _ _ The Morning Herald, in directing attention to the present condition of affairs in Eorope—than which, it declares, nothing can be more unsatis factory, since " each Power on the Continent is either actively engaged in intriguing against its neighbours, or is the object of intrigue on the part of its neighbours," —argues strongly for the necessity of Prussia preparing for the worst, and of being " more intently occupied with army reforms than with designs upon Schleswig- Holstein, or with angry declamations against the hegemony of Austria." Still more important is the duty that is pointed out, that at such a mo ment as this, when Prussia is watching anxiously every movement made by France, she should do her utmost to promote union in the great Ger manic Confederation, instead of fomenting dis cord, as is now unhappily the case. "If Russia," it is remarked, "for purposes of her own, intends to enter into a close alliance with France, per haps with a special view to an attempted humilia tion of England in the East, it is doubly important for the two great German Powers to stand steadily together, and to check, at the commence ment, that terrible ambition which once, for many years, proved to be irresistible." There can be no doubt of this. And well, therefore, may the hint be given, that " it may be discovered, before long, that disunion among those Powers which are disposed to resist the aggressive policy is only the precursor of a long and general war." The report that Prince Metternich was about to resign his office of Austrian Ambassador at Paris is stated, it will be seen, in a telegram from Vienna of yesterday's date, to be entirely unfounded. Considerable political importance, we believe, had been attached to the report. The Pope is obtaining a large accession of Irishmen, we learn, to his army. As many as a thousand were said to have left Trieste one day last week for Ancona, to be there enrolled. The Spanish Princes, the Duke de Montemolin and his brother, having executed their relinquish ment of all claims to the throne, have been released, and have left Spain. ' town may with incalculable advantage be relieved of many thousands of its densest population. There are districts of the town, which are at present most perniciously crowded with the dwellings of the labouring classes, that it would be a great public blessing to depopulate, and to transfer the inha bitants to the suburbs. Such a change as this is one of great moment to the town, both in a moral and physical point of view. Not only is disease the certain cons equence o f suc h over-crow di ng as now prevails, but vice and immorality are among its undoubted and most fearful consequences. Cheaper, as well as wholesomer, habitations might be provided out of the town for those classes of the people; and were there but a ready and economical means of access to them, so tha t the scenes of their daily toil could be conveniently and cheaply reached, there would be no rea l difficulty in the way of so great an improvement. The subject, therefore, is one of the highest im portance in all respects. Let us hope that it Will not be much longer overlooked in Liverpool' Already, as we have before had occasion to shoal, has Birkenhead taken it up, and begun, We believe, to prepare for carrying it into immediate effect. Surely Liverpool will not be content to lag behind in so important a phase of progreas and improvement as this. LATEST NEWS. [BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH•I AUSTRIA. VIENNA, May 8.
