Eibrrpoot tanbarb, Flio.ll OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING. WREN Greek meets (some say joins) Greek, then " &c., as the quotation is quibbled about among critics—save the mark—l will not complete it. There was an illustration of it—take it which way you will—the other dewey morning in the House of Commons. The supporters of the last government met strong—some nice fellows among them, after all: the supporters of the Coalition Cabinet were also in " full fig." A dunce, at two o'clock in the morning of Tuesday, could have told that the much-injured person in black was to pay, " and no pitch hot," as the sailors say. The subject was the ugly Dock-yard Commission Report. The parties im plicated—at least their friends—wanted it to be disposed of there and then. " See you first," said the opponents. Then were bandied the handsome terms of " stifle," " shirk," " sneak," phrases which, in public life, are scarcely ever used except at shove-ha'penny on the taproom table ; or, if used, " a clout on the head " is the sure result. DISRAELI was eager, as the boys say when they toss for a " sudden death "—no best of three for him. Dispose of the question at once, quoth Disa.AELI. Oh ! monstrous to think that PERCY, Duke of NOR THUMBERLAND, and AUGUSTUS STAFFORD Dock Enquiry, Bribery—which have formed such faithful sub jects for months past in common conversation, could be disposed of in a couple of hours—and they after the short ones had commenced— comes, " The wee short hours 'Ayont the twal," as the immortal ROME says or sings. DISRAELI grew pathetic, for the first time in his life, perhaps : there would be no opportunity, if the night was lost, of answer ing the manifesto of spitefulness (sic) until next session. Now, it certainly would be rather hard for the Dock-yard lads to be under the obloquy for, it may be, six months, to afford subject for jibe and jeer at hill-side among the grouse, over oaten cake, usquebaugh and water, from well-spring of life, cold and clear, where healthy an masculine wit cuts at friend and foe political un sparingly. No, no, DIZZY would have it : so on they went dividing on the question of adjournment, until the ad journment party had it, and the house rose about four -o'clock in the morning —the first time, for many a long year, that that house adjourned under such circumstances ; probably the first since the Reform Bill, when " captious opposition," it was called, was carried on by that noble, old, clear - headed, eagle - eyed man, JOHN WisoN •CROKER, Secretary to the Admiralty. JOHN WILSON CROKER and AUGUSTUS STAFFORD ! all the world to nothing !—CROKER, kept up his peppering at the Whigs for I don't remember how many nights ; he at last got tired, and deputed my old playmate, WILLIE MURRAY, Viscount STORMONT, now the fourth Earl of MANsFIELD, to carry on the war. If my memory serves me right, STORMONT, then in little more than prime boyhood, worried the Whigs, and made them divide upwards of twenty times in one sitting. CROKER got a little wind by the brief respite, and came to the attack like a bull-dog. The bill, however, was carried, and much good, of course, it has done. With regard to the Dock-yard Committee report, its yaw character, to appropriately use a nautical term—neither one thing nor another —it will have a broad-side or two, and no mistake. The newspapers—" best possible public instructors"— as llAnav BROUGHAM, in a happy burst of literary en thusiasm, once said, are certainly premature, touching the resignation - of that "old file," Mr. Commissioner REY NOLDS, of the Insolvent Court. Here is the true state of the case : Commissioner REYNOLDS, now half a score years beyond the three-and-a-half. by Scriptural authority the boundary of our sojourn in the vale of tears, has not resigned, but he will not sit as a judge any more in that awful court, where perjury --false oaths—calling GOD to witness a lie—is as pregnant as dicers' oaths were once in Bury-street. Communications have passed within the last few days between Lord PAL?4ERSTON and Mr. Com missioner LAW, touching ono or two questions, viz., Shall the vacancy, when declared, be filled ?—and if—by whom ? The feeler put out, naming Mr. COOKE, the barrister, to the bench, is all my eye. Of all courts under the Imperial Crown, individuals chosen to the bench in the dirty Insolvent Courts, are named by the Crown. Seniority at the Insolvent Court bar ! Precedence ! the thing would make a donkey laugh or bray ! Besides, Mr. COOKE is now well stricken in years—upwards of sixty—he has been making never under a thousand a year ; one year with another his income has been more nearly £2,000. He is now rich ;is his own master ; which he would not be, were he made commissioner; he likes his otium,—he had little of it at one time, when he, like JOHN—Lord CAMPBELL—was on the Chronicle. CHARLES PHILLIPS, one of the commissioners, is looking shakey since he had a knock-down the other week, by a metropolitan vehicle ; and I refer to him, because he was, before his transplantation, one of your Liverpool Bank ruptcy Court Judges. Mr. PHILLIPS is giving much satisfaction ; he is kind and considerate for honest in solvents, and has little mercy for the bad ones. A familiar, though, it is hoped, not an ill-mannered account of some of the details of the recent christening of the latest Prince of England may not be deemed amiss ; they were intended for last week's communication, but, as the details are not those of the circumspect scribe of the Court Circular, they are quite in time. The Royal Chapel in Buckingham Palace need not be described ; one regrets the absence of the " Dim, religious light," which, if not a necessary adjunct in the performance of our pious duties, certainly is a graceful aid. At the royal christening all was garish. There were no poor present ; Of that you need not be told. The poor shall never cease out of the land • and it struck me, as I gazed, that it would have looked well, had, for example, those most venerable of Gon's creatures, and the QUEEN'S fellow creatures—the Maundy men and women, relieved by royal bounty—been present. Talk, as you will, rich and poor are, or ought to be, all the same at religious duty. The Bishop of EXETER, from the Episcopal bench, once spoke with warmth of the performance of divine worship in the cathedrals cf Roman Catholic Europe—there were no pews and partitions; LAZARUS, in crutch and rags, smote his breast, and cried " unclean, unclean." So did the noble in ducal velvet. Perhaps, this would be too much of a good thing in England. Be it so. The royal christening was very imposing ; the illustrious personages present, for the most part, wore the same attire as at the state ball, which appeared odd. The same blaze of diamonds, yea more, for there was the Koh-i-noor, polished into shape all lustrous, in the centre of her MAJESTY'S forehead. The ARCHBISHOP held the infant Prince very well, but not nearly so nurse-like as HOWLEY, his predecessor. One wondered how the little creature kept so quiet. The child, for all his Honiton lace and satin, just looked like other little things—dozed, wheezed, and would have cried, but didn't. The grandeur of the music much enhanced the ceremony, adding dignity. At thestate ball, was the thin dance-music of STRAUSS and JULLIEN, appropriate and inspiring ; but the latter was not needed, for colder, more measured " poetry of motion," stately rhythm of step, surely never were exemplified. At the christening there were in lieu of such strains the massive learning of MEN* DELSSOHN, and the light, equally learned, and more graceful muse of HANDEL, pouring out sphere harmony. How was it the eye became dim, fatigued, worn out ? The close proximity to millions of pounds sterling worth of diamonds—diamonds, all was diamonds ! sparkle, sparkle. I wished I had been a bat in twilight—out of the Royal Chapel. Let us step aside for a moment, not to moralise much. We have heaved a sigh for the poor dress-maker, the shirt-maker, the milliner. Who has said one word about those pale-faced ones who live in Clerkenwell and else where in that blackguard neighbourhood ? No one. That long street with elderly brick houses, taller than usual some of them, has in one of its numbers £lOO,OOO worth of diamonds and pearls at a time strewed on a back-room table'. I have seen it. In such apparently dismal abodes live the persons whose fingers make bril liant the busts of queens and princesses, duchesses, here ditary grand duchesses, and wives and daughters of our " merchant princes, whose blood-royal sprang from a three-footed stool. These diamond -setters and pearl setters form a class per se. The dry, burning glare of the priceless gems they are constantly working on (not their own) wither the juices—humours if you like—which make an eye merry of an evening. The diamond -man's eye is far more wistful than needlewoman's. Far up in a garret was one working over a _costly t gem , ; there was a wooden parapet in front ; ranged on cc, ere several flower pots with humble things growing in them,—stonecro P , creeping-jenny,—mostly all green and living. The man who touched " ten thousand" a day saw me ‘ looking at his weeds ;"Ha!" he exclaimed, like a demon, there's life in them ; you can't tell how relieved my eyes are when they light on my little garden." I experienced the same feeling one hot first of May at the Royal Academy. I had looked long at the display of gre en and yel l i r melancholy" on the walls, and said, with Macbeth, " II look no more." I averted my eyes ; they fell on the sallow countenance of a p oc k-pitt e d f e male ; I shall always remember with gratitude that lady's " ugle mug. So it is with these diamond workmen. At the christen ing I was surprised at the easy way in which the King of HANOVER minded not only his P's and Q's, hut his L's and A's and D's, &c., in the Prince's name. The ARCH it as well. BISHOP adbare and hungry Whigs who started into existence thirty years ago, and ripened under the Reform Bill, there is no one more deserving of a sketch than EDWIN CHADWICK, the Bamfyld Moore Carew, King of the Beggars. In him the peevish and discon tented have an illustrious example of success. At the beginning of the period above named, EDWIN was penni less, Edmost friendless, and destitute of education. Gained a livelihood in the lowest walks of literature ; how could it be otherwise ? When the Reform Bill was under dis cussion in the House of Peers, and Lord BROUGRAM Chancellor, playing all sorts of pranks,—noes bending on his knee praying their lordships to pass the bill, in order to prevent broil intestine, war internecine, revolution, and so forth ;—anon spitting out as it were on the symbol of sovereign sway, as it lay glitterinz, bauble like, on the woolsack,—then denouncing the useless splendour of the Chancellorship. All this and more profaneness Lord e tare THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1853. BROUGHAM and VAUX incontinently perpetrated. Eery one who could gain admission to these exhibitions, you may be sure, was there. It was on one of those nights, when discussion was drawing to a close, that the Duke of SUSSEX rose to express his opinion. Chance placed me near EDWIN CHADWICK, who also had been drawn thither. The good-natured prince referred to was a people's man,—be was a tolerable scholar, certainly a good biblical one • yet he did not brag of his learning, seldom quoted, and, if he did, the quota tion was " plain simple,' as exergue on a tower halfpenny. On the night in question the Royal Duke, as a matter of course, supported the bill, speaking about ten minutes, making useofthe musty quotation "Vox populi," &c., being the basis of all enactments. EDWIN CHADWICK did not understand the poor bit of Latin, no, not after it had been repeated to him by a neighbour, who had to spell it for him. Yet quietly this man—ignoramus, if you like—was working, not in the dark altogether. EDWIN was not — is not a mole. Even then he had a remarkable faculty for arranging desultory facts,—mind analytical, head clear, at once perspicacious and perspicuous, qualities EDWIN found, in the long run, far more valuable than Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. He had been introduced to BROUGHAM ; and, out of all the Whig hangers-on, after the GREYS, the DURHAMS, the RUSSELLS, &C., CHAD WICK had been selected to condense, analyse, make conti nuous and clear the heterogeneous masses of returns made to the promoters of the Poor-law Bill from all the ends of the . . three kingdoms and out of them also; for America was quoted, France was quoted, Prussia was quoted, learned men in BrusseIs,—QUETELET among them,—and othereminent foreign statists were quoted, and the bill passed, Lord BROUGHAM exhausting his hitherto supposed boundless stores of eulogy when it so pleased him to open them. Boundlessly he lauded EDWIN CHADWICK, as if he had been another admirable CRICHTON ! I humbly remem bered vox populi CHADWICK—as all workhouses and unions, and varmint that do inhabit them, and all rate paying people out of them know—got a good berth under that same bill. Other bills, fringe-like, sprang out of it ; CHADWICK had a finger in all of them. Discon tented and peevish, he has displeased Public Health Acts' people, civil engineers nut a few, Office of Works' people, Woods and Forests' people, General Board of Health people, Commissioners of Sewers in city and out of it. Men, likewise, who fancy they can deodorize, deputrify, and what not, the yellow water of the Thames, and make gold of it. PACTOLUS for ever ! When such men go to CHAnwicx. and tell him of their schemes, they get pooh-poohed, and come away almost cursing him. Still the discontented bashaw gets on, rich and careful ; for it is a saying, that " no one ever saw the froth of his pot." But this may have had its origin more in spite than in truth. EDWIN'S hand has been taised against every man, and every man's hand has been raised against EDWIN ; but he continues to prosper. He has amiable qualities ; a friend to whom Mr. CHADWICK had been in his early career obliged, applied to him to do some thing for a son—idle. The return of post brought the lad a situation. Prompt and noble this, EDWIN, not to forget your old friends. So be acted also with another son of another friend. Mr. CHADWICK is looking ill ; pale and flabby ; a bad combination. Vast numbers of the elite called at Buckingham Palace yesterday, to ascertain the state of Prince ALBERT'S health. I believe there will be no more bulletins issued. The attack of measles was caused by his Royal Highness's almost hourly association with the PRINCE of WALES—a mild-tempered, promising boy, though two or three years ago he did not mind kicking up a row if he had not a coat made like his father's shooting-jacket. He also wanted a watch. The system on which he is educated, I have no hesitation in saying, is perfect—strictness and kind ness—the Bible and the History of England forming lessons for every day in the week, the former alone however, on Sunday. The latter is not now, young DOLYE'S edition,—a M.S. one executed by that clever artist, when he was one of the illustrators of Punch, — it had ❑eatly executed pen and ink drawings, in the mar. gin, descriptive of portions of the history, which was prettily written by the artist a few years since, himself little else than a boy. He is the son of the famous H. 8., the caricaturist. The PRINCE OF WALES'S tutor seems aware of the fact, that when weariness begins, edification ,1 ends. The outre members of the Coalition Cabinet appear determined to hang together : they are at sixes and sevens touching Russia and Turkey, and literally acting on the indisputable fact, that we know not what a day may bring forth. The foreign events of the past week fully vindicated my statements ; and matters, as far as intelligence received at the Foreign Office and elsewhere enables me to speak, remain in state quo—with this im portant difference, that Nick appears willing to draw in his horns. Each succeeding day is expected to bring in telligence of a more decided character ; and RUSSELL and CLARENDON cannot much longer remain mute, though Lord BROUGHAM has come to their aid at the eleventh hour. It is expected that in one month Parlia ment will be prorogued. Tile QUEEN is most anxious to go to Scotland, as I have alieady stated ; and, from what I learn, the visit to the Irish capital, which is certainly postponed, is not abandoned. The Earl of ABERDEEN is looking fagged, and, though he appeared remarkably spicy on Saturday evening, with the proudest and poorest of his orders—a Scotch one, I need not tell you—resplendent on his person, he is not well ; when ABERDEEN is at the trouble, he is the best dressed member of the peerage, looking quiet but grand ; —a total absence of foppery, in which regard he may be compared to a very different EarI—CARDIGAN—a noble fellow. Touching matters theatrical, there is not much to mention. There was a meeting on Saturday afternoon of the proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre. The report read was not so bad after all. Mr. SMITH, the present lessee, has now sole occupancy of the house, at a yearly rent of £4,000, for seven years, terminable by a six months' notice on either side. He commences in October with opera—daring man ! Meantime he appears desirous of doing something notable ; he has got his last panto mime—Harlequin fludibras—or some such name, ren dered into French, and is either " going or gone," as GEORGE ROBINS used to say, to Paris, to play panto mime there. TOM MATHEWS is the Clown. The other metropolitan theatres are so so, with the ex ception of CHARLES KEAN'S, where Sardanapalus fills the house four or five nights a week. VES TRIS closed her elegant temple a few evenings since, not under the most favourable action of the till. There was a goodly collection, comprising not a few of the opera habitue's, on Saturday night, at the little Olympic ; pit and gallery crowded, boxes and stalls the same. Jt was droll to see the old fqmiliar opera-goers, who scarcely miss a Saturday, sitting in the English theatre, in comfortable trowsers of " hodden grey," with waistcoat to match, laughing and applauding to the echo. What was it all about ? How was it that your cor respondent was there, instead of listening to the ecclesi astical strains of the Prophele, with TEDESCO at the R. I. 0. ? I confess to the seeming absurdity. WILLIAM SHAKSPERE,—much-abused man,—wrote a play called the " Merchant of Venice." THOMAS NOON TAL FOURD, author of the severe and classic beauties of " Ion," and also one of Her MAJESTY'S judges, has a boy who cannot let the immortal WILLIAM rest, who must have been more anxious about the care of his bones than his plays. He (TALFouRD fils) made a burlesque of that awful play, " Macbeth," with success ; and he has now tried his not " ' prentice hand" on " Shylock," though, I believe, this misdemeanor was perpetrated before Macbeth. There is no question in regard to the great—the remarkable talent—of a Mr. ROBSON, who enacts the principal characters in TALFOURD'S concoc tions. ROBSON' was a tavern actor, giving recitations, I suppose, as is frequently done, and well-done, too ; he plays after a twofold manner ; you have the real ground-word—SHAKSPERE represented well ;—on this legitimate structure burlesque is r a i se d. Th e combi nation is irresistibly exciting. Wink at th e d ramat i c s i n committed, and constant laughter, natural and hearty, follows. A cold breeze —aura, the Greeks called it—crept over me, however, when I heard the beautiful speech of Portia commenced in travestie,— " The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven, Upon the place beneath : it is twice blest, It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes." Apropos to which was Master WILLIAM SHAKSPEARE paraphrasiag the sacred volume. In Ecclesiasticus, c. 35, v. 20, do we not read, " Mercy is seasonable in the time of affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought." And again, yet higher authority, in Matthew c. 5, v. 7, " Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Indeed the whole of the most exsuisite address of Portia, in " The Merchant of Venice is Holy Writ. In its delivery in TALFOURD'S burlesque, some decency was attended to, the latter portions being omitted. In these times theatrical managers cannot afford to be too nice. Two or three novelties are announced as forthcoming at those theatres which remain open in the dog-days, or nights. Actors and actresses not in them are forming themselves into little " loafing" parties for the country, loafing being on the pari passu principle. As akin to the foregoing, I may add that rude health appears happily to distinguish nearly all the authors and artists now in town. It must be the drive down to Chobham, and the walk on the almost interminable heath, that does it. DICKENS is brown as a berry in autumn ; all the Punch-men ditto repeated ; JERROLD, if not fat, is glorious; MARK LEMON laughs and grows fat; PERCY LEIGH, one of his collaborateurs, and writer of the Comic Latin Grammar, Perry's. Diary in Punch, &c., is very jolly; Jolts LEECH looks as if he had £5,000 a year. Dr. MACKAY, the sweet versifier, is, or was, an exception,— he has been laid up for some weeks, but is now creeping about, getting well. MICHAEL BURKE linsAN, after life's fitful fever, sleeps,—he died a few days ago, after having been foreign correspondent of pretty well all the newspapers in London, and several volumes thereanent. For light liter a t ure t h ere i s a ready market in London circles. So also with artists. Long may it continue. THE BRAZILS. By the arrival, yesterday, in Liverpool, of the clipper barque Emperor, Captain William Bruce, we have later intelligence from Bahia. The Emperor sailed on the 28th May, with 11 passen gers, in company with the Royalist, for the Channel. The British barque, Ranger, had sailed for the Channel on the 26th May. The Enchanter, from Australia for London, had put into Bahia for water, and s a il e d aga i n on the 26th May. The British brig Francesca, Draper, of London, from St. Vincent, for Australia, foundered at sea on the Bth m a y, in lat. 4'13 N., long. 18.9 W.; crew saved by the Swedish brig Irene, bound for California, which arrived at :was very prevalent i n B a hi a when the Emperor 2llsot.whledl‘fe, and May.

In Coffee, the business was confined to 30 tees. Jamaica, and 1,200 bags St. Domingo, at steady rates. 1,800 bags Singapore Pepper, on the spot and to arrive, sold at 31d per lb. Of Rice, 3.500 bags Arracan sold at 9s to 9 s 9d, being full prices, and 4,000 bags Bengal, at los 3d par ordinary, to 12s 6d per cwt., being 6d dearer. Rum, in very good demand, at a slight further advance in price. In Tea, only a moderate amount of busi ness was transacted, but previous quotations were well maintained, Turpen. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NE if S. MONDAY NIGHT. THE continued ur.certaintyas to the state of poli tical affairs in the East has prevented any change from that monotonous dulness which prevailed during the previous week. Each day has produced its reports of varying effect upon the probable issue, but it is satisfactory to observe that none of them have produced any very serious effect on the value of public securities—a convincing proof of the healthy state of monetary affairs, and the little real alarm as to any actual disturbance of the peace of Europe being likely to_arise from the present state . . of the negotiations. It was at one time thought that the crossing of the river Pruth by the Russian troops, and the occupation of the Danubian pro vinces, would be the si gna l f o r the entry of the British and French fleets into the Black Sea, and, consequently, a declaration of hostilities. Recent telegraphic despatches state that the crossing of the Pruth has been effected, but the movements of the fleets through the Dardanelles wait for the instructions of the British and French ministers at Constantinople, which can only be given at the request of the Turkish Government. This has not yet been made, and as the Russian Government has repudiated any belligerent intentions in occu pying the provinces on the Danube, it has been seriously argued that no cases belli has yet arisen to justify an interference on our part ; and if this is the true interpretation, there appears to be no immediate probability of any breach of amity, as Russia has distinctly disavowed any design of fur ther demonstrations. The Funds have been slightly affected, but have since rallied, and as the Com missioners for the Reduction of the National Debt have a larger sum than usual at their disposal, we may anticipate a still further advance. The returns from the Bank of England again show a decline in the stock of bullion, arising, without doubt, from the large importations leaving the balance of trade against this country ; but as money is easy for commercial purposes, there is nothing at present to disturb the confidence in mercantile security which appears generally to prevail. This is further con firmed by the little speculation going on, and the firmness maintained, even in those markets where prices it was at one time expected would have gone much lower. In the manufacturing districts the unsettled state of political affairs has tended to produce caution, but the market, on the whole, is healthy, and prices are firmly maintained. The most serious affair as affecting future prospects is the turn-out of opera tives, which, so far from being brought to a satis factory termination, is becoming more widely spread. A counter agitation is attempted in the establishment of " the Manchester Spinners and and Manufacturers' Association," but unless for re sistance to the attempted dictation of the workmen, it is not easy to see what good can be effected by the masters following the bad example which has been set them. From the other manufacturing dis tricts the reports vary little from the previous weeks, the rumours of war constituting the prevailing topic, while the business transacted is confined to the demands for immediate consumption, the high prices of the raw material leaving very little opening for speculative operations, The returns of the Board of Trade for the month ended the sth of June, which have just been pub lished, again show a considerable increase, as com pared with the corresponding period of last year, amounting on the Declared value of Exportations during the month, to £1,187,558, and making a total on the first five months of the year of no less than £7,313,528. On the month's account, the principal items of increase are Woollen Manufac tures, £259,720 ; Metals, £237,276 ; Cotton Manu factures, £196,178 ; Haberdashery, £137,892 ; Hardware, £88,027 ; Leather, £62,600 ; Beer, £61,214 ; and Machinery, £59,091. Upon very few items is there any decrease, the principal being Wool, £72,196. Upon articles imported and taken for Home Consumption, there is an increase on Tea from 4,797,535 lbs. to 9,253,298 lbs., which accounts for the large increase in the receipts of Customs during the quarter. Of Wheat, the in crease is from 184,461 qrs. to 525,236 qrs. The other items present little worthy of notice, there being a slight decrease on Coffee, Cocoa, and Sugar, and a considerable decrease on Foreign Fruits and Spices. Of raw materials, there is an increase on Flax of 22,753 cwts., and on Wool, from 7,625,875 lbs. to 9,765,391 lbs.; and a de crease on other articles—Hemp, from 100,928 cwts. to 38,250 cwts.; Raw Silk, from 391,283 lbs. to 384,993 lbs. ; Cotton, from 1,448,524 cWts. to 731,128 cwts.; and Tallow, from 45,386 cwts. to 05,805 t.ir Lz. The return from the Bank of England, for the week ending the 2nd of July, gives the following results, when compared with the previous week : Public deposits .. £5,615,362; Increase £83,249 Other deposits .. .. 12,504,620 ; Increase 172,210 Rest .. .. •.. . 3,149,789; Increase 33,578 _ _ On the other side of the account — Government securities £13,116,997 ; Decrease 1,013 Other securities .. 14,372,331 ; Increase 666,942 Notes unemployed .. 9,204,260; Decrease 359,065 The amount of notes in circulation is £22,847,820, being an increase of £216,260 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £18,553,905, show ing a decrease of £111,384, when compared with the preceding return.

A moderate demand for Tea by private contract ; at a sale of 2,300 pack ages, the damaged portion sold rather lower; for the sound there was no bidding near the market rates, particularly for fine Greens. The Bengal Rice offered by auction was chiefly withdrawn; but, by private sale, 230 bags and 800 pockets broken brought lOs to lOs 6d, and 25 tierces Carolina 245. 6d. per cwt. 100 bags Saltpetre (7 per cent.) sold at 255. per cwt., 50 brls. Jamaica Ginger at full prices, and 80 tons St. Domingo Logwood at £5 ss. per ton. _ WooL.—The inactive state of our Wool market, as noted for some weeks back, still prevails ; yet there is no curtailment in the consumption, and manufacturers will shortly be compelled to enter the market more freely. We do not expect to see any particular change until the close of the London sales, which are advertised to commence on Thurs day, and expected to comprise from 50,000 to 60,000 bales Australian, from the fact that all parties are still disposed to purchase as sparingly as possible. We cannot quote any material alteration in price, which must be considered as almost no minal. English : The prices in these Wools have given way since April more than other descriptions, and the farmers who held for higher rates then will have to content themselves with considerably less. Irish : Good average parcels are bringing from 20s. to 21s. per stone. CONSERVATIVE TRIUMPH AT LIVERPOOL. The election of two representatives for Liverpool, in the place of Messrs. Turner and Forbes Mackenzie, to wards which the eyes of all England had been turned for the last three weeks, terminated yesterday in the tri umphant return of the Hon. Henry Thos. Liddell and Mr. Thomas Berry Horsfall. Whether considered in re ference to the extent and influence of that great port, and the numbers, intelligence, and high standing of the con stituency, or the eminence, high political character, and experience of the gentlemen who have been selected as the objects of their choice, the result is exceedingly grati fying, and affords a Conservative triumph which, while it honours Liverpool, will not be lost upon the rest of the empire, or even be without its influence in the legislature. The victory is the greater inasmuch as the Hon. Mr. Liddell, until, at the invitation of the merchant princes of that great port, he presented himself for their suf frages, was personally unknown to the constituency. But his high political character and abilities, stamped by his parliamentary services over a great number of years as the representative of Northumberland and North Durham had preceded him, and the cordial reception which he experienced in Liverpool hourly augmented in enthusiasm till the poll yesterday returned him a representative for that great constituency by the glorious majority of nearly a thousand. The election has excited the greatest interest in this town and neighbourhood, and the success of Mr. Liddell has elicited universal joy. It could scarcely have entered into the calculations of the Liberal Mr. Ingham, that in helping, as the chairman of the Liverpool Election Committee, to oust the sitting members, he was creating a vacancy to be filled by his late opponent at South Shields ; as little, probably, did the Liverpool Liberals expect their paltry success on that petition to be followed by a more signal defeat at the polling booths than any they have yet experienced. Leaving them to their cha grin, we congratulate both electors and elected on the Conservative triumph they have achieved, and express the universal gratification which pervades these northern counties that the Hon. H. T. Liddell has achieved the distinction of being elected, and now occupying the posi tion he is so well entitled to fill, as one of the able and estimable representatives of the first commercial port of the empire and, indeed, of the world .—Neweastlefaurnal. THE aggregate value of the Liverpool tea trade, last year, is stated to have been £1,000,000 ex duty. TRALEE ELECTION.—Mr. Thomas Fitzgerald, Q.C., made a bad fight of it at Tralee on Wednesday. He polled but 10 votes, to 150 for Mr. Daniel O'Connell, who was declared duly elected. THE MARCHIONESS OF ANGLESEY died on Friday morning. after a very brief illness, from which dangerous results were nor anticipated until a short time before her death. CHOBHAM.—The Beveral regiments now encamped at Chobham Common, will move on Thursday next, and the regiments ordered to form the new encampment will ar rive and occupy the ground on the same day. REPRESENTATION OF WEST CORNWALL.—The high sheriff has fixed Monday next for the election of a mem ber for West Cornwall, rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Pendarves. The only candidate at present is Kr. Michael Williams, of Trevince. THE ROYAL SQUADRON.—In consequence of the ill ness of Prince Albert, and the postponement of Her Ma jestv's visit to Ireland, the yachts and men-of-war ordered to Holyhead have been ordered to return to their respec tive ports. _ ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—A letter from Prague of the 30th of June says :—" Dr. Ginti, inspector of the electric telegraphs of Bohemia, has just invented an apparatus by which two different messages can be simultaneously trans mitted by the same electric wires. A number of trials of the plan have been made here, and the success has been complete." PRIESTLY RUFFIAN/SNI.— VP. Cullinan, a Rornish priest at Bristol, and Martin Foley, a member of his con gregation, appeared at the sessions i❑ answer to a charge of assault on the Portuguese Consul at Bristol, and was found guilty. Cullinan was sentenced to pay a fine of £5, and Foley a fine of £2, and to be imprisoned till it should be paid. THE MURDER OF MR. BATESON.—The assizes for Monaghan were opened on Friday. The state of the county, as depicted by the calendar and the informations laid before the judges, is very bad indeed. Ten persons are in custody, charged—two as principal and eight as ac cessories—with conspiring to murder Mr. Batson ; and one person is charged as principal, and eleven as acces sories in the conspiracy to murder Mr. French, agent to the Marquis of Bath. THE STACKPOOLE MURDER.—The Clare assizes were opened on Tuesday. The most important case was that of Thomas Stackpoole, brother to Richard, brother-in law to Honore, and husband to Bridget Stackpoole, all three of whom were executed last April for the murder of their relative. The survivinc , prisoner was not tried at the last assizes owing to the dangerous state of his health ; and his trial is again postponed for the same reason. The wretched man has been kept alive since March last by stimulants, and ever since he has been confined to his bed. He is about 65 years of age. SLIGO ELECTION.—A narrow escape had Mr. Sadleir on Thursday. He is now representative for this independent borough. A lucky man, certainly, is my Lord of the Treasury, to have only James Patrick Somers, Esq., to deal with. Heretofore this gentleman was never beaten at an election in Sligo, that he did not retaliate upon his victor by a petition, on which he was certain of success. Now, though a petition would unseat Mr. Sadleir, Mr. Somers will not prosecute one; and why we shall not tell yet ; but we may insinuate, that Mr. Somers is about to devote his high talents to the service of his country.— The numbers polled were—For Sadleir, 115; for Somers, 141—majority, 4. THREATENING THE PREMIER.—On Thursday, at Bow street Police-court, Thomas Whitehead, described as an artist, was charged with sending a threatening letter to the Earl of Aberdeen. It contained a rambling statement of grievances, and supposed injuries from Government, and concluded with the statement, that if Lord Aberdeen did not comply with his request, he would be "goaded to do that which his soul abhorred." The examination failed to elicit more than that the defendant was watched by the detective police, and the soldiers at the back of tne National Gallery. Mr. Henry, the magistrate, di rected that the prisoner should be removed to St. Giles's workhouse, for the present. The prisoner, some time ago, went to Jersey, to avoid the detective police, but fancying himself still pursued by them there, he returned to London. He looks about fifty years old. " A PIGEON."—On Tuesday, in the Common Pleas, an action was tried—" Simmonds v. Parkinson"—to recover the amount of various bills of exchange, amounting to between £3,000 and £4,000. The defendant, " a fast young man," came into possession of about £lO,OOO last October. The plaintiff, a Jew innkeeper, horse-dealer, and jeweller, sold him " fast trotters" and trinkets to a large amount, for which, in part, the bills were given. Amongst the jewellery were a bracelet and armlet given to a " lady." The horses were " shams," and, in some cases, their legs were painted. The Lord Chief Justice characterised the parties as " fool and knave,"—suggested that the " lady" had been " planted" on the defendant. and intimated a suspicion that the bills were tainted with fraud. A verdict for the defendant was returned by the jury, amidst loud applause from a crowded court. - - ENLISTMENT OF LORD ERNEST VANE, SON OF THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. — A good deal of surprise was occasioned on Friday, by the announcement that Lord Ernest Vane, youngest son of the Marquis of Lon donderry, had enlisted in the 4th Royal Irish Dragoons. It appears that the noble lord has been, for some time past, staying in the neighbourhood of Winchester, as a pupil in the house of a clergyman, and, on Thursday last, came to town by the South Western Railway, accompa nied by his groom, and proceeded at once to Charles street, where he fell in with a recruiting serjeant, with whom he enlisted, and then tried hard to induce the groom to follow his example; but without effect. The servant returned to Winchester, and communicated the extraordinary news to the family, and the electric tele graph was resorted to ; but the information reached the noble marquis too late. The noble lord and a party of recruits were regularly attested at Rochester-row Police court, on Friday, and, although some of the authorities at the magistrates' office recognized him, he said his mind was made up. He gave the name of " Ernest Smith," and started with his comrades for Dublin. His lordship is in his nineteenth year, about five feet ten inches in height, stout and well wade, and appears at present re salved to follow out his ueily-adopted carcer.-,,Oserver. A QUESTION FOR SERGEANT ADAMS. If banishment seem not a sentence too big For a woman who calls a policeman a pig, Pray say should its period less be or more For a man who pronounces Lord DUDLEY a bore ? —The Press. TRANSATLANTIC STEAMERS.—TIIO Un'ted States Mail Steam-ship Arctic, Captain Luce, arrived in the Mersey on Wednesday forenoon from New York, with mails and passengers. She left New York on the 25th ult. The British and North American Mail Steam-ship Europa, Shannon, commander, took her departure hence for Bos ton, United States, on Saturday afternoon, with upwards of 100 passengers and a fair cargo, besides the usual mails, on board. NEW COUNTY MAGISTRATES.—At the Salford Hun dred Quarter Sessions, held on Monday, the following gentlemen qualified as county magistrates : Thomas Bazley, Esq., Hayesleigh, Stretford ; Absolom Watkin, Esq., Rose Hill, Northenden ' • and Henry Butterworth, Esq., Haybrooke, Rochdale. John Rosson, Esq., Moor Hall, Ormskirk, took the oaths as a deputy-lieutenant. On Tuesday, Salis Schwabe, Esq., Crumpsall-house, Manchester, qualified as a magistrate.—At the Lancaster quarter sessions, last week, Thomas Rodick, Esq., took the oaths as a deputv.lieutenant of the county. At the Preston sessions, on Tuesday, J. German, Esq., qualified. A WISE REFORM.—The proprietors of the newspapers in the county of Ayr jointly intimate that announcements of births, marriages, and deaths, having become so nu merous as frequently to cause the suppression of late news, they have resolved that a charge of two shillings shall be made for each notification of marriage, and one shilling for each notification of birth or death.— [The Glasgow Citizen informs us that this arrangement is to be general throughout Scotland. We think the plan might be extended to Liverpool with great propriety and justice.] SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—An action was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, on Saturday, which was brought by a tailor, named Harvey, carrying on business in Lon don. against a person who was formerly apprenticed to him, named Watson, for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The plaintiff accidentally discovered his wife whilst on a visit to Liverpool, merely from having called at a public-house to procure a glass of ale. It was supplied to him by his own wife, who was living with the defendant. Since then the defendant had sailed for Aus tralia, and the plaintiff's wife remained behind for a time to carry on the business, but with the ultimate intention of following the defendant to Australia. The jury re turned a Aerdict for the plaintiff. Damages £5O. FURS.—The number of foreign buyers at the Hudson Bay Company's late sale considerably affected the prices of furs. Skins have not realised, for many years, so high prices; some lots of Sables fetched fifty shillings a skin. Mr. John Cripps, of Bold-street, anticipating the advance, fortunately bought a great number of skins previous to the sale, and will have manufactured, by the first of August, nearly one thousand boas in Mink sable, real ermine, very choice, Miniver, and Chinchilla, which he will offer all at one guinea each. Of these, he feels con vinced, equal value cannot be given in the season under thirty-five shillings ; also, a variety of dark sables, equally cheap.—Shawl, Mantle, and Fur warehouse, No. 14 and 16, Bold-street, Liverpool. John Cripps, proprietor. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. MONDAY EVENING, JULY 11. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. PARIS, SUNDAY.—The lately discovered plots against the Emperor's life appear to be of a serious character. SOUTH AMERlCA.—Advises from Monte Video, of May 11, received by the Swedish brig Hilding, arrived at Falmouth to-day, reports an engagement between the Buenos Ayrcan fleet and Urquiza's. The former beaten ; two ships captured, and many officers and men killed. Urquiza had redoubled his vigilance in blockading and investing Buenos Ayres. Business at Monte Video con sequently brisk. Freights advanced to 50s. and up wards for salted Hides and Tallow. Coals selling from shipboard at £4 per ton. THE EASTERN QUESTION. No later news. The Times Paris correspondent writes on Sunday evening that a pacific solution is still more generally anticipated than previously. The Sun says there are later accounts from St. Peters burg this morning, and so far as private advices are con cerned they read favourably ; the German party having used the greatest exertions to bring about a pacific solu tion ; and the firm attitude taken by England and France having so much disappointed the previous expectations, that a fair proposal was the more likely to be accepted.. The Journal de Saint Petersbourgh, of the 2nd instant, contains a circular despatch, signed by Count Nesselrode, addressed to the European Powers. This despatchrecounts at length the proceedings which the Russian government has adopted to secure what it considers its rights; stigma tizes the concessions offered by the Sultan as vague and unsatisfactory • acquaints the Powers with the occupation of the Principalities ' • complains of the attitude of France and England as likely to lead to new complications ; and concludes by a strong disclaimer of any design against Turkey, it being the desire of Russia to preserve the status quo in the East. The Sun says this document is in some respects very offensive, and casts much censure on the parts taken by Lord Aberdeen. It may be variously interpreted, inas much as there is in one part a sort of intimation that if the fleets were withdrawn the Russian troops would leave the Turkish provinces. The Standard says the note throws great blame on Lord Aberdeen, and rather contraverts the favourable anticipations by the writers of private letters from St. Petersburg. HOUSE OF LORDS. The house met at five o'clock. The Earl of MALMESBURY wished to ask the Earl of Aberdeen whether Government had any acconnt of the entry of Austrian troops into the Turkish province of Bosnia ? The Earl of ABERDEEN said Government had received no such information. The Earl of DERBY would be glad to know if the Austrian Ambassador had given any intimation of the possibility of his government taking such a step ? If so, what were the grounds assigned ? The Earl of ABERDEEN said Government had received no information upon the subject. He had seen the report in the newspapers, and that was all he knew of the matter. After a short discussion respecting promotion in the army and navy, the Lord CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Transportation and Secondary Punishments Bill. Earl GREY and Lord BROUGHAM spoke in favour of the bill, recommending improvementsandadditions, and hoped the attention of Parliament would be shortly directed to an Infantile Training Establishment, which would do much to reduce criminality. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the effect of this reduc tion in the amount of transportation would be to induce parliament to turn its attention to improving our penal code and promoting education. Before the bill passed. a suggestion would be made by government for extending the tiket of leave system to the mother country, while it would be necessary to appeal to parliament next session to grant supplies to provide increased prison accommodation. Lord CANIrsELL cordially agreed with the principle of the bill. After a few words from the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The Chancery Suits Relief Bill and Savings' Banks Annuities Bill passed through committee. The house adjourned at a quarter-past eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The house met at two o'clock. Mr. T. B. Horsfall and the Hon. 11. T. Liddell took the oaths and their seats for Liverpool_ The house went into committee on the Landlord and Tenants' (Ireland) Bill. Three clauses were agreed to, f and our t w h h i l c s l utshee, four o committee ,el o c k w e r a e rr ved, w c onsidering hen t he the se housent y adjourned till six o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock. Mr. W. MILES gave notice that on Friday he should ask the Government whether they intended to proceed against the two Roman Catholic Priests, who were stated to have incited to riot at Six-mile Bridge, during the election for Clare. In reply to a question, Sir W. MotEswouTti stated that the re -construction of the Board of health would be considered. Mr. WILSON, in answer to a question, stated that the contemplated measure of prohibiting for one year the Irish manufacturers of soap from exporting soap to England would not be persisted in. Irish manufacturers might export soap to England at once. THE - EASTERN QUESTION. Mr. DISRAELI, alluding to the circular diplomatic des patch, published in the papers this day, signed by Count Nesselrode, said he wished to ask Lord J. Russell a ques tion. It was stated in this despatch that the occupation of the Principalities by the Russian army had been occa sioned as much by the naval occupation of Turkish ports by the fleets of England and France, as by the refusal of the Sultan to give that satisfaction to the Emperor of Russia which he demanded. It was further stated that the Em peror would not retire from the Principalities until com plete satisfaction was accorded to him by the Sultan, and. until the combined fleets of England and France had left the Turkish ports, which they at present occupied—now he wished to know whether a copy of this circular despatch had been presented to Her Majesty's Government, and if not, whether it was the opinion of the Government that it was an authentic document ? Lord J. RUSSELL said the last despatch which he had received from Sir H. Seymour, from St. Petersburg, stated that he had not then seen the diplomatie circular signed by Count Nesselrode. He had no doubt that sub stantially the circular despatch which the right honorable gentleman had seen, and which had been published in the journals, was an authentic document. He would not enter into the particulars referred to ; but he did not think, in the first place, that the Russian Government could in any way substantiate the address that the entering of the Russian troops into the Principalities was caused by the sailing of the English and French fleets ; and in the second place he did not understand from his reading of the docu ments that there was any declaration that matters could not be arranged between Russia and Turkey unless the English and French fleets left the Turkish ports. (Hear.) Mr. DISRAELI said, the next enquiry was, whether Government had received any information of the occupa tion of Bosnia by the Austrian army. Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government had not received any information of that nature; and, indeed, the Austrian ambassador had communicated to Lord Clarendon his total disbelief of any such entry. He says he believes that report has been owing to the occupation of Peter wardein—a town in the Austrian territory. THE INDIA BILL The house then;ventillocoluMT,tiee on the Govern ment of India Bill. Mr. V. SMITH condemned the evils of the nominee system, and moved an amendment, the effect of which was, to substitute the election by the Court of Directors , subject to the sanction of HER M AJESTY , instead of no mination by the Crown, of persons who shall have served ten years in India, Sir C. Wow) admitted that much might be said on both Sides, tat goverameat, after a caTe.f l 4 examknatioa, believed they had adopted the plan which would be found the most useful under these circumstances. He could not consent to the amendment. Mr. HtttittLe supported the amendment, which he preferred to his own on the same subject. Mr. LOWE vindicated the original proposition, and con tended that the introduction of the new element into the Court of Directors would strengthen their weight and in fluence with the country. Mr. ELLIOTT supported the amendment. Lord STANLEY objected to the amendment, because it gave permanence, if not perpetuity, to self-election. Ile objected, also, to the nomination by the crown, but conceived this objection might be obviated by lengthening the term of office, and making the parties ineligible after its expiration. Mr. HUNIE objected to the principle of nomination, and should on that ground support the amendment. Sir J. HOGG reviewed the objection to both systems": nomination by the Crown, and election by the our' itself, and incidentally said he could not consent to the payment of Lord Stanley, on account of its disqualifying operation. He objected to everything which tended to lower the directors in the eyes of the country, or to change their constitution. Mr. BRUCE condemned the clause and defended the directors. He preferred the existing system of open election both to the government proposition and that o f the amendment. Mr. J. replied to Sir J. W. Hogg' 6 marks, and would vote for the clause as it stood. sla Mr. MAJORIBANKS defended the existing system. I" supported the amendment. Mr. T. BARING urged several objections to the clause, on the ground that the tenure of office by the Ermine ° would be at the mercy of the Crown. Sir J. GRAHAM defended the cl a u s e a s it s t oo d, on the d ground that the introduction of the nominee system vr°'`„, be a good preparation for the time when the whole geTe r " ment of India would come into the hands of the Crown', Mr. BRIGHT condemned the existi ng sy s t em ; if it • changed in eighteen hundred and sev en ty-f our , it might well be changed at once. Mr. NEWDEGATE remarked that Sir J. Graham bad l ei out the real intentions of the government. Mr. MANGLES supported the amendment. • Mr. HILDTARD at some length supp or ted the amen d ment. The committee divided, when there appeared for the amendment, 111; against, 193 ;—majority against, 82. Mr. HUME pointed ou t some di screpanc i es b etwee n the various opinions expressed by members of the administr e ' tion on the subject of double government. Sir J. GRAHAM being one of the executors, was favou r. able to double government. Sir H. 'WILLOUGHBY moved the following amendmen t to the clause—" That on or before the first Wednesde e l d in April, 1854, the fifteen dir ec tors h ere by a ppoint 11 to meet and act at the Cou r t o f Di rec t or s, en° prepare a list of twelve persons whom they shall deem best qualified to act as directors, and who shalt have bees twenty years at least in the service of the Crown in Intl or in the service of the said company in India, and it 9 118 .1 be lawful for Her - Majesty's Government out of the ee l list of twelve persons, &c." Sir C. WOOD opposed the amendment. After a few words from Mr. HUME, Sir LOUGHBY said he was quite willing to make any chae,g, in the amendment, so as to c ar ry out its ide a of gic, li r the Court of Directors the power of preparing gr from which the Crown should select its nominees. , i , After a few words from Mr. T. B A RING, the amen" ment was negatived without a division. Mr. Rim{ moved an amendment, with a view of rashini the appointment of Government nominees director' certain for a term of years, so that they should be in" dependent of the Treasury Bench. Mr. BRIGHT took a similar view. He had noticed i l late that the East India Compay Diirectors, which b 4 ,0 seats in the lower house, had become more attentive the Treasury Bench than usual. Sir J. W. HOGG supposed he was the one referred to. He could teal Mr. Bright that he had refused to e" high office under Sir Robert Peel because he would IO forsake the interests of India.—After some further discus sion the amendment was negatived without a divisloo.„ On the motion of Mr. BRIGHT, it was agreed that 0 " words in the clause which required that the nomine e directors of the Crown should have the same stock qualms fications as the other directorsovere then struck out. The clause was then agreed to, as also clause 4. progrets was then reported, and leave given to 03 again On Thursday. The Stamp Duties (No 1.) Bill was read a third Wa g and passed. The Public Libraries (Ireland) Bill was read a thir d time and passed. The Land Revenue Bill was a third , time and passe`.„, The Coinage O ffi ces (Colonies) Bill passed through an mittee.—Copies of Specification Repealed Bill commit:„ pro forma.—The Canterbury Election Writ to be s o t pended until the 29th instant.—The Attorney-Gen e o f obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the suppression bettiug houses.

COTTON.—The market this week has presented few features of interest, and the amount of sales have not been so great as the previous week, specu lators being disinclined to operate, owing to the uncertainty which still prevails, while holders have been firm ; so that prices have not given way. The reports from America are still unfavourable as to the growing crop; but the period is too early to have any sensible effect on market prices. The turn-out of the operatives has also had rather a tendency to slacken operations ; but the spinners and manu facturers being in very short stock has counteracted any downward movements. To-DAY the sales amounted to 8000 bales, of which about 2500 were for export. American,—for export, ruled at 61cl. to 71d., and the market closed firmly at the previous rates.
