Without going into nice calculations, it is evident that our ships are taxed nearly 100 per cent. more than they ought to be for the maintenance of the lights. We are aware that much of what is collected goes to pay the interest on the debt which the Trinity-house has incurred, but we say that the board has no right to require the shipowners to pay this debt, or the interest on it, inasmuch as - the Trinity-house had no right to incur it:— " Lighthouses.—Yesterday a return to parliament was printed of the receipts as tolls from lighthouses, &c., by the Trinity-house, in last year.

COI7RT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, SA.TI7RDAY.—MITHENSON AND ANOTHER V. OLIVER.—This was an action brought -- • • nished by the plaintiffs to a ship called the Progress, be longing to the defendant, and for the performance of work on board whilst lying in the East India Docks. The de fendant denied his liability. Witnesses were called in support of the plaintiff's case. The case for the defendant was, that the defendant had sold the vessel to a Mr. Com pertz, and that these goods were supplied, and the work done, whilst Mr. Gumpertz was in possession of the ship, Captain Thompson having been appointed by him. It was also urged that, even if Captam Thompson was the servant of the defendant, what he ordered was without the authority of the defendant, and therefore the defendant would not be liable for it. Mr. Bramwell tendered a bill of exceptions to this ruling. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs, for the amount claimed. Two other cases of the same nature as the preceding, and against the same defendant, were then heard and decided in a similar manner. 1853. REit.TIM THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL CO:: BIRMINGHAM POULTRY SHOW. Twa most characteristic excellence of the Birmingham show is, unquestionably, the poultry, in which it has taken, and will probably long maintain, the lead. Last year's exhibition contained 1,300 pens of this description of farm produce, a number which was then quite unapproached ; but now the entries are 2,275. If it be borne in mind that the present contributors, who come from all parts of the country, and even from Ireland,with the exception of some fifty or sixty, are all amateurs, and that the sales of birds exhibited amounted in one day to £l,OOO, some idea may be formed of the wide area over which the poultry mania is diffused, and of the intensity of its symptoms. The fifty or sixty exceptional cases are those of dealers permitted to fill space not occupied, from accident or some other cause, by the original applicants. One of these dealers sold a cock and hen (Bramah Pootras) for £l2O, the auctioneer, with a boldness which reminds one of George Robins, declaring that " they were thrown away at that price." It would therefore appear that, notwithstanding all the ridicule poured upon it, the poultry mania still rages among us with epidemic fury. It has given an extraordi nary interest to this year's show at Birmingham, for such a collection has never previously been brought together; and, however absurd may be the present mode of forcing forward a braneh of farmyard economy hitherto as absurdly neglected, there can be no doubt that in our usual wild extravagant way we are perfecting the best breeds of poultry in the world. The display of these at Birmingham is set off by a new and greatly improved arrangement of pens, which enable the birds to be better seen than formerly. Exhibited in such numbers and excellence, facilities of inspection, so as to discriminate their nicely shaded merits, are essential ; and it may help to convey some idea how closely these merits are contested, that a fine pen of Cochin China fowls, which won the silver medal in its class at Cheltenham, and eleven first premiums else where, has not even been mentioned. In Dorkings, espe cially the dark gray, there is a wonderful display. The Spanish and game varieties are also exceedingly well repre sented. Malays, which generally form weak parts of poultry exhibitions, are here exceedingly strong. As for Cochin Chinas, they are larger, more awkward upon their legs, and heavier than ever, and, therefore, will, no doubt, be considered more beautiful by discriminating judges. The black and white varieties are chiefly in vogue at pre sent, but none are without their special admirers, who point out how splendidly the birds in some pens are feathered and " fuffed " out, while those in others have diseolorations of the legs, or some blemish equally fatal to their reputation and standing as fowls. At this season of the year, when turkeys rise so much in estimation and in price, it may not be useless to point out that the wild , American species, distinguishable by its bronzed wing, carries the palm away at all our recent shows for weight and excellence. Being close-feathered birds, they do net look so large as they are in reality. An erroneous impres sion appears to prevail, that because wild in America they are troublesome to domesticate, but this we are assured is not the case. A cock and two hens exhibited weigh 5511 b. Aylesbury decks retain their old superiority, but there are some uoteittles in geese, the " Embden " beating the "Toulouse." Although the agriculturist may hold in some disparagement the poultry department of the Bir mingham Exhibition, the attractiveness of the whole dis play with 'tile general public depends largely upon that feature. There is something in the tery , eock-crowing which 'insures popularity, and the birds seem to have dis 'covered litat it is so—for many of them are .already suffer ing from their efforts to outchallenge 'each other, and if ghosts, as Shakspere represents, are scared by such sounds, 'none will venture during the next few days within earshot of 11N INQUEST was held in London, , on Saturday, on the body of a lady of property, mama Goodman, who came by her death from sucking worm lozenges, obtained from a 'Chemist, named Ball. A medical man, who attended the deceased, said the lozenges were composed of calomel, and That the deceased had died ft o m mer cur i a l po i son . If there 'was one thing more iiangerous that another, it was taking calomel in the shape 'of a lozenge. It having been proftel that Mr. Ball gave no instructions with the lozenges, the coroner and jury commented on Tis conduct, and a vordidt of " Accidental poisoning" was 'recorded.

MA NCH ESTER.—There has been a slight recovery from the extreme depression that has pervaded this market for so lengthened a period ; and though the improvement has not led to any large transactions, there is clearly a better feeling , and less hesitation in giving out orders. A. moderately steady business is sufficient to take off the whole production of the various mills, now that short time has become so universal ; and buyers, finding that there are no great stocks to work upon, appear to feel more confidence, Under these circum stances, prices are firm for all descriptions of goods and 3 arns, whilst for some sorts rather more money is asked and obtained. In yarns the inquiry for India descriptions con tinues. Yarns for home use are also in good demand; and for 30's to 40's cops higher rates are asked, but the improve. ment is confined to those ranges. In goods the improvement, as regards demand, has been general. In light India cloths, especially, the inquiry continues, and for jacconetts better prices are obtained ; light printers are also more looked after, whilst a renewed but still moderate inquiry for the home trade contributes to improve the appearance of matters. Domestics and T cloths in better demand, at full rates. LEEDS.—The cloth markets, although usually dull so near the approach of Christmas, have been quite as brisk as usual at this season, and a fair average amount of business has been done by the commission houses ; there are also some rather extensive orders in progress, for delivery early in the new year. Prices remain► steady, and the mills continue in pretty full employment. A fair quantity of goods have been sold in the warehouses, Ore period of the season considered. BRADFORD.—WOOL: Rather more wool has come to town this week, and prices area little higher. The prices demanded in the country have tended to stiffen the current rates here, which were previouslyteo high to induce the spinners to buy freely; and stocks in their bands being unusually light, encourages the staplers to hold firm for the prices now sought. Noils and brokes , conimand better prices, end are not made, except in limited quantity.—Yarns The difficulties -of the spimarrs have been on the increase for sense time past. 'The current price 'for yarns has ranged so 'fat below thetas% as to bring abaft an extensive stoppers , •ef frames and short time working, aiiich has been adopted ler some moniks past, end with no , hape of alteration, unless some very deo&led im provement in the value of yarns , crai be realised 'commen surate with'tke cost. The recent , advance on 'Wool has been entirely dtlllke cost of the spinsters. The advance sought in 'yarns is not willingly conceded, 'net is it probable that it will be for 'it few weeks, till old (Contracts are worked out.— Pieces.: there is nothing vett,' active in 'this department, although the opinion that goods have seen their lowest is gainingravour, and there isnrreater willingness to give out orders.

There was a great number of pigs, but generally thin, and only half finished. Prices OFI our 1 44t-478 to Os; inferior, Os to 4¢n per cwt.-50 per lb. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 16.—Beef sells slowly at about previous prices, though some holders, anxious to clear out old parcels, would take rather lower rates. The new referred to in our last (Brown's Chicago) has found buyers at 110 s, but this figure has been paid with great reluctance. Pork is very dull and prices are again in favour of buyers. Bacon sells slowly; the prospect of arrivals of the new cure causes holders of old to press their stocks. Lard is lower ls to 2s, and buyers hold back, anticipating a still further decline, hence the sales for the week are trifling in the extreme. There is a fair demand for good cheese, but ordinary descriptions move very slowly. Dec. 19.—There is no improvement to report of our butter market. The transactions were limited, and on a retail scale List week, but as the stock is moderate, holders are not presing sales at any reduction in prices, judging from the reports of small supplies in all the Irish markets, that it is not unlikely an advance may shortly take place, and no change can be made in the quotations.
