The " Chronicle " is thus an excellent medium for advertisements, which are inserted on moderate terms, the wh, le amount of the duty being allowed to the public. In order to afford facilities to a large class whom the comparatively high prices of advertisements have hitherto pi ohibited fromavailing them selves of the best way of making their wants known, an advertise. ment in the newspaper is charged only Is. 6d. for advertisements of four lines, or not more than 30 words ; and 2s. for eight line, or 60 words, when paid in advance.

LIVERPOOL CORN.—We had but few buyers in at tendance to-day ; wheat was held with tolerable firmness for the rates of Tuesday last, and, upon a moderate amount of business with consumers, we repeat previous quotations. Flour is at the same time much neglected, and the value nominally unaltered. Barley and beans move off with much difficulty, the value of the latter article ruling in favour of buyers. Oats and oatmeal barely support our last currencies, with a very sluggish demand in the absence of country buyers. Indian corn was again is per qr lower than on Tuesday, the Irish de mand is very trifling at present, and to make any progress in sales not more than 38s 6d per 480 lbs can be quoted for mixed American, though 395 has been paid for small par cels.

LIVERPOOL PRO VI SIO IsT.—The transactions in beef this week have been confined to afew retail sales, at for mer rates. A better feeling towards the article, however, seems to be springing up.—ln pork we have nothing to report. Some parcels of new have arrived, but are not yet:landed. Bacon is in fair request at the quotations. For forward delivery it is offered on very much lower terms. Lard is dull, and tends downwards. 7 - , The demand for fine cheese is moderately active, but middling and inferior sorts are neglected. Tallow has fluctuated daily, the market closes at a decline of about 2s per cwt. on the and week. Linseed cake continues neglected. The business passing in the corn market during the week has been very limited, although, on Tuesday, there was a slight improvement, especially in Indian corn. To-day's market was dull for all articles, at Tuesday's prices. LONDON CORN.—Wheat: Arrivals very short, and needy buyers have to give full prices, but the transactions are few. Barley : Short supplies and firmer feeling. Oats : Good supply of Irish but very dull, and is cheaper than Monday. Flour : Supply short, and for Norfolks Ms asked, for which on Wednesday 52s and 52s .6d were taken. LONDON PRODUCE.—Sugar not so brisk, and the finer descriptions have gone rather cheaper. Coffee market is steady. Tea quiet, common congou 9d, nominal. Rice : 700 bags Beneal sold at 13s per broker, lls to lls 6d for cargo ; 200 bags Madras bought in at 13s—only 12s 6d bid.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.—The supply of beasts in to-day's market was limited, but in fair average condi tion. All kinds were very dull for sale, at Monday's currency. Although the number of sheep was small, the mutton trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. The few calves on offer moved off briskly, at an improve ment in value of 6d per 8 lbs. The best veal was worth 6s per 8 lbs. Pigs very dull, and lower to purchasers. Beef from 2s 10d 10 4s 6d ; mutton, 2s 10d to 4s 8d ; veal, 4s 8d to 6s; pork, 3s 8d to ss.

Barley fully Is dearer. Other articles unchanged. DUBLIN CORN.—A very small supply of wheat. There were some indications of recovery from the late depression, but this might be caused by the demand of present wants, and the inadequate supply offered. Wheat was a shade higher than on Tuesday. Oats and barley support the currencies of that day. Indian corn extremely inactive in demand, and very little done, even at a reaction of is per qr. BELFAST CORN. —Supply at farmers' market very small. Wheat ls, oats 6d, and oatmeal 6d, per cwt, lower on the week.

T The annual meeting of this institution was held on Thursday, when the following Report was read, and adopted. [The pressure on our space precluded our inserting:it in our yesterday's impression.] During the last seven 3 ears the institution has steadily progressed from year to year in the number of patients, no less than 63,451 having been relieved within that period ; and the following statement of aid given and money expended, will afford some idea of the vigorous economy which has been constantly exercised, viz : Year Expenditure.

During the year 1855 the institution numbered 11,310 patients. The number of deaths which occurred was 329, and, what is very remat ka • for the benefit of the latter. He urged that the owners were clearly obliged to pay that order just as they would have been before the alteration of the law, as if it were not so, the seaman must be defrauded of his wages. Mr. Forshaw argued that the 215th section of the 17ta and 18th Victoria, which enacted that if a seaman volunteered on board one of her Majesty's vessels, his clothes and wages should be given over to the captain. of the ship on board which he should volunteer, pro— vided that when the wages should have been paid bT bill or order, then that the account an t- genera l, or the , seaman, should have the same powers of recovering' by which wages were recoverable prior to the passing of the act. The fact was that the government had, before the passing of the act, paid. to a seaman volunteering all wages then due, but now, they only undertook to pay when they bad received from. the captain or the owners. In this case, therefore, the. owners felt no obligation to assist them. His Honour' said, his opinion was in favour of Mr. Parr, but he would. have occasion to be in London, and he would then lay the points of the case before the board of trade, and take the opinion of the law officers on it. If that opinion should be in favour of Mr. Forshaw's views, the defend— ants should have the benefit of it. Here his Honour took up the bill in question, and looked over it, observ ing that he had not seen it before. He called Mr. Forshaw's attention to it, and asked if there was any thing in the act which enabled the captain to state ma. account between the seaman and the owners? and if so, whether the bill was not itself evidence that the wages , were due? If he supposed, for instance, that was an action for the wages;ind that a letter of the captain's stating the amount were produced, would not that be evidence of a debt due by the owners, and would not the captain be looked upon as their agent Mr. Far shaw said he had not before seen the bill, and had not time to give it the full consideration he could desire. Ho was afraid there was a verdict on the face of the bill. If there was any thing which left it open, he should feel more assured, but he feared the case was not so. His Honour said he should give a. verdict for Mr. Parr that day. lf, however, Mr. Forshaw should, upon consideration, think that there was any war of raising the real question at issue in the case, then lie would grant a re-hearing upon affidavit. It was then understood that if Mr. Forshaw could see any way of opening up the question which he had raised, an appli— cation should be made for a re-hearing on Saturday week. The plaintiff was not present in this ease, having: fallen from the rigging of the Phantom, and broken his leg, and the action therefore proceeded upon the bill, as it had been drawn by the captain. The seaman had, it appeared, been required to go on board the Phantom at Hobson's Bay, and Capt. Forbes at the same time was required to give the hill. MADDOX V. HOWARD.-This was an action brought to recover the amount of damage done to a coach of ti:e plaintiff, by a brewers' cart of defendant. The amount claimed was XI 7s for repairs, and Its for loss of time. _ _ The cause of action arose between eight and nine o'clock on the evening of Friday, the 9th November last. It appeared from the evidence of a policeman, and others, that the coach was going up Scotland-road, towards Kirkdale, and the brewers' cart was coining down. The centre of the road was newly macadaini6ed, and the cart turned off the macadamised part, and in doing so, caught the hind wheel of the other vehicle, which. appeared to have been upon its own side of the road, and caused the damage. Several witnesses having been. heard upon both sides, who gave very contradictory tes-. timony, his Honour said that in his opinion the police-. man who was walking behind was the most reliable: witness in the case; he therefore gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. Mr. Itoby appeared for the defence in this case. At Vienna it is stated that if, from the proclamation of an armistice, peace is not concluded by the time it iS practicable to open the campaign, the allied fleets will enter the Baltic, but, during the negotiations, will not pass beyond the island of Gothland. In the Crimea, the Tchernaya and the defiles which lead to the Valley 01 Baidar, will form the line of demarkation. The line of limitation at Kinburn, Kertch, and Eupatoria, will be fixed by mutual agreement between the allied and Misr' Sian commanders SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE -4-- LIVERPOOL, JANuAair 26.

Harr ette Guthrie, from CaJao at Vale,,cia. ble, the average age attained in these 329 cases, was only thirteen years and nine months. The institution being situated in so busy a part of Liverpool, the surgical practice is of necessity very considerable. This has of late attracted attention, in connection with the cases of fracture and dislo cation, which are so frequently brought to the Dispensary. Within the last six months 96 cases of this kind have been received at the establishment, and subsequently attended at their own homes, giving rise to corresponding expenditure in splints, bandages, straps; and other surgical materials . . required for injuries of the bones and joints. The cases of rupture, one of the most serious maladies to which the labouring class, but more particularly hardworking men, are liable, have been very numerous. The trusses given to 65 patients of this class would have been a source of considerable expense • to the institution, - had it not been defrayed by private contributions. The cases of stone in .the bladder have gradually increased more and more during the last seven years. A. number of patients of this class, after recovery from the operati on , were l as t year pre sented to the committee. Others might now be added. The number of cases of this kind, which have lately been brought to the institution, make the formation of a small hospital in connection with it, more than ever desirable. Cases of disease of the skin,.more especially treated by one of the medical officers of the institution, have gradually increased during the last five years, and now form one important branch of its practice.. -In the eye and ear de partment 2,085 patients have been treated during the past year ; of these, 78 were cases of cataract, a disease well known to be so fatal to vision. The importance of the institution, in connection with this disease, is more espe cially noticed in the summer months, when many patients from distant places in England, Wales, and Ireland, as well as those of the town and neighbourhood, seek relief at this charity. The committee have to regret the loss durine the past year of a valued friend to the institution, the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks, whose name is connected with the origin, and whose beneficence was constantly associated with the progress of this important charity. The duties of the house surgeon have gradually became more and more arduous, and their amount is now so great, that any one officer is no longer equal to the task; so that it is found requisite, henceforth, if possible, to provide an assistant house s urgeon, which will of necessity lead to an additional outlay, to meet which a corresponding increase in the annual income will be required. As the usefulness of every institution of this nature must be measured, in one point of view, by its pecuniary resources, the com mittee would recommend to their successors a continuance of the rigorous economy to which they have constantly adhered, as well as a systematic plan for increasing the number of the supporters of this charity, by that personal exertion which they have felt it their duty at all times to make in its favour. The treasurer's account showed that the expenditure of the year had been £499 17s Id, and the balance against the institution had been reduced from £59 53, last year, to £t 1 14s 10d this year. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, JAN. 23.—1 n the matter of Frederick Johnston. This insolvent, who applied to be discharged from prison, was opposed by Mr. Dowse for Mrs. Lydia Howard, and supported by Mr. Reed. The complaint was a concealment or making away of pro perty. In about six months of the insolvent going to prison he had received nearly 8001., and had, he alleged, got rid of it, spending a good deal at hotels. He was foreman to an upholsterer, and the opposing creditor was the widow and executrix of her late husband, who had kept for a number of years the robing room at West minster Hall. He had borrowed money of the late Mr. Howard, and the opposing creditor sued the insolvent and issued a writ of capias, on which he was arrested. The Chief Commissioner declared that he had never known so bad a case in so small a compass, and pronounced judg ment of three years from the vesting order made on the sth July last. The insolvent had during his examination, treated the matter with perfect indifference. The longest period is seldom given by the court. DEATH FROM JOY.—A sad and affecting instance of sud den death occurred at Lowestoft on Tuesday night. Mr. John Burgess, shoemaker, of this town, and formerly of Southtown, was expecting his son home from the Crimea, after an absence of between three and four years. He had, we believe, been disappointed in meeting him two or three nights, and on Tuesday was again on his way down to the station -to meet the 10 p.m. train. It appears that the train had arrived, and when against the C, ewn Tree , l. the son on his way up met his lather, but neither appeared fully to recognise each The son walked on, and the father overtook him, looked at him, and passed ahead of him, not even then, it appears, identifying his son, mill the other said, " Hold hard, father, don't be in a hurry ;" when he stopped and said, " Good God ! is that you, John ?" They walked on together, when the son went into Waters' beershop, and wished his father to go forward and break the news of his arrival to his mother. Observing that he looked pale and excited, the son would have him take something, but he did not, and proceeded to inform his wife of the arrival of their son, intending to go back to the son and again return home. The son landing he did not come, feared his mother had been upset, went home and found his poor father a corpse on the floor, who, on returning, had opened the door, and exclaimed, " Good Grid ! Maria, John ," and fell down dead before finishing the sentence. Mr. Burgess was in his 50th year, and much respected in his native town.—Bury Post. THE STORY OF THE WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENT COM mrssioN.—Ten years back a corporate body called the " Westminster Improvement Commission" was created by Act of Parliament. Its object was the construction of Victoria-street, to form a communication between the neighbourhood of the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace, and it was endowed with advan tages which gave it much of the character of a govern. went undertaking. These appear to have comprised an unrestricted power of borrowing money, coupled with grants, out of the London Bridge Approaches Fund and the improved rates of the parishes in Westminster: From 1845, when their Act was passed, until a year or two back, little was publicly heard of their proceedings. At length it was found that the commissioners had been issuing bonds to builders and others to an enor mous extent, that these bonds were daily becoming adver tised by various holders for sale upon almost any terms, and, finally, in January, 1855, that the com mission had become totally insolvent. Besides the means thus raised, the commissioners are alleged to have mortgaged the freehold property of the undertak ing for £271,500. This property has lately been valued, and is stated to be worth but £167,200. Hence there is not enough to cover the mortgages, and consequently at present not a farthing for the bondholders. It seems, however, to be considered that about .C 140,000 of these mortgages would probably be ignored in a Court of Equity, and also that, as two-thirds of the ground are still unbuilt upon, the whole would come into greater value if the street were completed. It likewise appears that under the Act the builders on the estate have power to redeem their houses by paving off their debts either in money or bonds, and the bonds, therefore, may con tinue in some demand for that purpose. At present, it is understood, they are selling at the rate of about £8 per £lOO, and, as owing to the activity with which they have been spread among the public by agents who were offered a large per centage for recommending them, they are held to a very considerable extent by profes sional persons, clergymen, widows, and others ; the ruin that has ensued is not only analagous to that caused by the case of Strahan and Paul, but far more severe, since the amount involved is £1,000,000 instead of £780,000, and the prospect of recovery only 8 per cent., instead of, as in the latter case, 4s. in the pound, or 20 per cent. It does not appear, however, that any serious conse quences are likely to fall upon the commissioners or their connexions, beyond the trouble of resisting in their cc porate capacity a Chancery suit, the costs and delays of which already promise to add heavily to the losses of those individual bondholders who have had the public spirit to risk the penalties of such a contest. COUNTY COURT.-YE STE RDAY (BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCR, ESQ., JUDGE.) FARQUHAR V. BAlNiB.—This was an action brought to recover £l3 19s id, on an order made by Captain; Forbes, of the Australian packet ship Lightning. The order was made upon Messrs James Baines and Co, for wages due to the plaintiff, who had been a seaman pa board the Lightning•. Mr. Parr appeared to support the claim, and Mr. Forshaw appeared for Messrs Baines. ' The handwriting of Captain - Forbes to the bill was not disputed, nor the fact that the wages were due at the time. - Mr. Forsha'v contended that the Messrs Baines were not liable, on the ground, in the first instance, that if the document was sued upon as a bill that it was not an accepted bill • and in the second instance, if the document were relied upon as an order, then there bad been no proof given that Captain Forbes was the agent of the owners for such a purpose, and they Consequently were not liable. He contended that the remedy of the plaintiff was against Captain Forbes, who was clearly liable for the bill he had made. The act by which such bills were made valid against owners, was the 36th and 17th Victoria, chap 131, section 35, which require'd as acceptance. Even if the bill were looked upon as an order, then, by the 17th and 1 8th Victoria, chaptc section 215, the security was valid only against di who would have been affected by the fora _ . L J.GV, party r ace, against whom it conferred no additional power.. On the part of the plaintiff it appeared that the seaman in question had sailed in the ship. Lightning for Australia, and when in Port Philip, be volunteered on board her Majesty's ship Phantom.. Captain Forbes then gave an.order for the wages due to. the seaman, amounting to .£l3'l9s Id. The bill was in the following terms :—" At sight, Messrs. James Baines and Co. will please pay to Captain Gennys, of her Majesty's ship Phantom, £l3 19s Id for wages due to Thomas Farquhar, seaman, August 29th, 11354.Hob son's Bay, Port Philip, James N. Forbes, Master of the British ship Lightning." Mr. Parr contended that the act of parliament directed that when any seaman lolnn tecred from on board a merchant ship to her Majesty's navy, the, captain of the former vessel was obliged to give to the captain of her Majesty's vessel on which the seaman entered, a bill for the amount of the wages due MARRIAGE On the 24th irst., at the Catholic Church, Southport, by the gle Canon Abraham, assilted by the Rev. 1 homas Speakman, S.
