gorreVottlinut. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL NORTHERN DAILY TIMES Liverpool, 28th Oct., 1853 SIR—We feel ourselves compelled to contradict, publicly, a malignant statement made by Mr. Neale, Secretary to ' the Shipwrights' Association, at a meetino.:o that body on Wednesday last, which statement is calculated to do us a serious injury. Below, we give a copy of the wages account for the vessel referred to by Mr. Neale. In this statement the men who worked at the ship will find their names, time, and the amounts paid to them. At the comple tion of the work, the owner of the vessel and ourselves considered it well done , and as we give the men credit for bein g honest, we appeal to the men to check our account, by which means the absurdity of Mr. Neale's pretensions to check labour accounts, will be discovered, and if he does not consider it his duty to make an apology to us, and to the men who worked at the ship, and who we consider he has equally slandered (for if his statement that the work should not cost more than £5O were correct, then the men had not done a fair day's work for a fair day's wages) he most certainly deserves the strictest censure of the Ship wrights' Association, who are unfortunate in having a Secretary capable of making such palpable misstatements, which must, undoubtedly, rflect the greatest discredit on themselves. _ _ _ As a proof of the "honourable" feelings which appear to influence the actions of the Secretary, we may mention, that the letter which he read at the meeting, was surreptitiously obtained from our office.

A correspondence has taken place between Lord Palmers ton and the Presbytery of Edinburgh, respecting a day of humiliation and prayer, on account of the visitation of the cholera, from which it will be seen that the noble Home Secretary has given grave offence to the Presbytery. At the meeting . of that body on Wednesday, the Moderator stated that in consequence of the conversation which had taken place at the previous meeting, he had written to Lord Palmerston, stating that " the members of the Pres bytery were of opinion that it was likely, under the circum stances, that a national fast would be appointed on Royal authority. For this reason (the communication proceeded to say) . they delayed making an appointment for this locality, and directed me, in the meantime, respectfully to request that you would be pleased to say—if you feel yourself at liberty to do so—whether the appointment of a national fast by the Queen is in contemplation. In reply, the following letter was received from the Home- office : " Whitehall, Oct. 19, 1853 " Sir—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, requesting, on behalf of the Prf.hytery of whether it is proposed to appoint a day of national fast on account of the visitation of the cholera, and to state that there can be no doubt that manifestations of humble resignation to the Divine Will, and sincere acknowledgements of human un worthiness, are never more appropriate than when it has pleased Providence to afflict mankind with some severe visita tion ; but it does not appear to Lord Palmerston that a national fast would be suitable to the circumstances of the present moment. " The Maker of the Universe has established certain laws of nature for the planet in which we live, and the weal or woe of mankind depends upon the observance or neglect of those laws. Ono of those laws connects health with the absence of those gaseous exhalations which proceed from over-crowded human beings, or from decomposed substances, whether animal or vegetable ; and those same laws render sickness the almost inevitable consequence of exposure to those noxious influences But it has at the same time pleased Providence to place it within the power of man to make such arrangements as will prevent. or disperse such exhalations so as to render them harmless, and it is the duty of man to attend to those laws of nature, and to exert the faculties which Providence has thus given to man for his own welfare. ,6 The recent visitation of cholera, which has for the moment been mercifully checked, is an awful warning given to the people of this realm that they have too much neglected their duty in this respect, and that those persons with whom it rested to purify towns and cities, and to prevent or remove the cause of disease, have not been sufficiently active in regard to such matters. Lord Palmerston would, therefore, suggest that the best course which the people of this country can pursue to de serve that the further progress of the cholera should be stayed, will be to employ tho interval that will elapse between the present time and the beginning of next spring in planning and executing measures by which those portions of their towns and cities which are inhabited by the poorest classes, and which, the nature of things, must most need purification and improve ment, may be freed from those causes and sources of contagion which, if allowed to remain, will infallibly breed pestilence, and be fruitful to death, in spite of all the prayers and fastings of a united bnt inactive nation. When man has done his utmost for his own safety, then is the time to invoke the bless ing of Heaven, to give effect to his exertions.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " HENRY FITZROY." The reading of this letter from the Home Secretary ex cited a good deal of sensation among the members of the Presbytery. Rev. Dr. CLAUR said : It is not usual, I dare say, to make any remark on communications of this kind, but I feel called upon to say that I totally dissent from the doc trines contained in that letter, and that I can be no party to share in the responsibility of those who refuse, or at least who decline eo ....lire an opportunity to her Majesty's subjects to meet together for prayei. +hp occas i on o f so fearful a visitation. Ido not wish to make any moan. .„,„„ high places, but it is the first time, and I hope it will be the last, that any Secretary of State has ever made any com munication of this kind to any Presbytery. Rev. Dr. MUIR : I am sure we all concur in the state ment made by our excellent friend. There can only be one sentiment of unmingled pity and regret entertained by us that such a document should ever emanate from a pro fessedly Christian Government. Rev. DIMACFARLANE • Concurring as Ido in the views expressed in regard to this communication from the home office, there is required no further expression of op;-to from me on the subject. I would —l 7 venture to propose that we should tat -., =tiler steps in this matt er , b u t o that 4,0 .i.uuid report this communication to the synod, which meets next week, so that whatever is called may be done not as a presbytery, but by our brethren within the bounds of the province. Dr. BRYCE expressed his surprise and regret that any letter should be sent from such an authority to the Presby tery of Edinburgh, and contended that the Moderator's" letter called for no such response. Rev. Dr. STEVEN also said that he regarded the document as unworthy of any Christian Government or governor. On the question being put, whether the do'cument should be engrossed, Dr. CLARK moved that it should not, but that it should be kept in retentis, which was agreed to. The Moderator was instructed simply to acknowledge that the letter had boon received and laid before the Presby tery. The total amount realized by sales ordered under the provisions of the Encumbered Estates' Act (Ireland), from the commencement to the 20th instant, amounts to £10,430,401 ss. Id. THE Loss OF THE DALHOUSIE.—The body of a woman was washed on the beach of Dymchurch, on Thurs day, which is supposed to be one of the Dalhousie's passengers. She is described to be about 50 years of age, and her lmen marked 4. m . A.U." They correspond with the initials of the late Mrs. Underwood, and it is thought very probable that the remains are those of that ill-fated lady. As yet nothing has been heard of the spar to which Miss Under wood, Captain Butterworth, and several others were lashed. Quantities of wreck are being cast up between llastings and Dungeness. 11 " 30 " 12 " 8 " 3 " 6 " 16 " 18 " 18 " 33 30 12 4 at 6d, 30 at ls. at 6d, at 3s, 9 at is 12 at 9d COUNTY COURT.----Y E STERDAY The Court sat at ten o'clock, yesterday. GALLAHER V. MARSTON.—The plaintiff in this case was a person named John Gallaher, a porter living in Suffolk street, who sought to recover £3O ss. 6d., from Henry Marston, a warehouseman in the employment of Messrs. Pappianni and Co., merchants. The amount claimed, was for dinners supplied to the plaintiff during 104 weeks, from October, 1847, to October, 1349, at 6s. per week, £3l 45., and attendance 7s. 6d. which was reduced by cash paid to the sum mentioned, £3O ls. 6d. Mr. C. I. Aspinall appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Grocott for the defence. The evidence was of a remarkably contradictory nature. It appeared that the defendant had employed plaintiff as a porter in Messrs.. Pappianni's warehouse in the year 1845, and continued him in that occupation until the early part of the present year, when plaintiff became ill for some time, and was finally discharged. _ _ Mrs. GALLAHER, wi(e of the plaintiff, deposed that defendant had got dinner every day at her house during that period, and that he entered into a contract with her to pay at the rate of 6s. a week. The evidence was corroborated by two other women named Ellen Barrett and Mary Barrett. The DEFENDANT was examined, and positively disclaimed the debt and the contract altogether. He admitted that he had occasionally dined at Mrs. Gallaher's, but not frequently, and stated that during the time mentioned, he had been in the habit of frequenting an ordinary in Paradise-street, and another dining-house. Mrs. GALLAHER was again called, and repeated her former statement. His HONOR asked what religion she professed. Mrs. GALLIIIER replied, the Roman Catholic. His HONOR : How often do you go to confession ? WITNESS : Once a month. His HONOR : When where you last there ? WITNESS : About four weeks ago. His HONOR : Do you attend regularly ? WITNESS : Always. His HONOR : Do you know how you will have to an swer for it, if you tell a falsehood ? WITNESS : I am well aware of it. His HONOR then called the defendant and asked him, if, after what he had heard, he still persevered in his former statement. The defendant again denied having en tered into the contract, or dined at the house for the time alleged. On the part of the defendant, it was urged that he had not, until lately, heard of the claim, and it was ad mitted for the plaintiff, that he was unwilling to send in the bill while he was retained by the defendant in his em ployment. His Honor said : I have felt it necessary to ask the witness, Mrs. Gallaher, some questions, which I do not think I ever put to a witness before. However persons may differ with regard to certain creeds, it will not be denied, that a woman who attends her religious duties, whatever may be her creed, is less likely to tell a falsehood than one who is irregular in these duties. I believe this woman's statement, and I believe the money was paid as stated, and that the conversations did take place ' • but I have great doubt upon one part of the matter, that is the exact number of times that Mr. Marston dined there. I do not under stand, from his own account, how it could be incorrect that he did dine there very frequently. I also believe the wit ness Mary Barrett, when she spoke of his coming there very frequently ; and I believe that generally she is correct as re spects the fact of his having been there a great number of times. With regard to the actual amount of the debt, lam not so sure of the accuracy of that matter; but I believe that Mr. Marston must have been going there repeatedly, dining there repeatedly, and that he had no fixed place of dining then, although he has one now, and that as he dined repeatedly at Gallaher's, he is bound to pay for it. lam in great doubt as to the exact number of times, and the persons who spoke of his being there every day were probably not quite correct in that particular. I dare say he did not dine there exactly every day. I shall therefore deduct one-third of the amount which is claimed, and give a verdict for £2O. One remark was made by Mr. Grocott very properly, as to the account having been delayed a very long time. At the same time that is quite consistent with the reason given by the plaintiff, that so long as he was employed he did not like to press the claim, but of course that reason ceased to exist when he left the employment. _ _ PENNINGTON v. BLAKE.—This was an action arising out of a case tried in the court a short time since, in which the present defendant claimed compensation for the value of sheep worried by a dog belonging to Mr. Pennington. In the present case Mr. Pennington sought to recover £lO from Mr. Blake, for the value of the dog, which was hanged by the directions of the defendant. Mr. Pope appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Hime for the defence. Mr. Pope was proceeding to call witnesses for the purpose of establishing his case, when Mr. Hime said he would save trouble by ad mitting that his client was not justified in killing the dog, which had not been actually found attacking the sheep, and the action was, therefore, undefended, merely resolving itself into a question of value. COURT : The killing of the dog might not perhaps be jus tified at all, if you could have prevented him doing the mis chief in any other other way. The plaintiff was then examined, and deposed, that he was offered £lO for the dog, and that he refused to sell him for that amount, and that he considered him to be worth at Ipat,Xlo. To Mr. Hime : Got the dog about nine months before he was killed, which was upon the 20th of August. He was a good house dog. Never received notice that the dog should be kept out of the defendant's fields. Was told by his wife that the dog was in the habit of chasing and worrying the sheep. Mr. POPE : Has the dog ever been shot over ? PLAINTIFF : He has. His HONOR : How old was he when you got him? PLAINTIFF : About two years. His HONOR : He could scarcely have been broken at two years old. PLAINTIFF : He was well broken. His HONOR : If he was well broken he would not bite sheep. Did you use him for sporting yourself ? .. PLAINTIFF .. : No sir. The gentlem - an who owned him first, and who gave him to me, shot over him. . His HONOR • Is that gentleman here ? . ._. PLAINTIFF; He is The gentleman who originally owned the do g was called, and deposed that he bad frequently used him for sporting, and that he valued him at £3. Would have given that money himself for him. Mr: HIME : For what purpose ? WITNESS : For shooting. Mr. limn : How old was he ? WITNESS said about three years. His HONOR : I will give a verdict for the value which this gentleman puts upon the dog, £3. SMITH v. SUTTCLIFFE.—This was a case adjourned for the production of evidence. Mr. Smith claimed compensation for injuries done him by a cart alleged to belong to Mr. Joseph Suttcliffe. It appeared that on the 3rd of August, the plaintiff was passing along Berry-street, in the direction of Great George's-street, when he was knocked down by a cart, which was carelessly driven by a boy. A gentleman, who picked up the plaintiff and prevented him from being run over, deposed at the former hearing that just as the cart was driving round the corner he saw the defendant's name upon it. Several persons who were standing by also stated to him that it was the defendant's cart, but none of these parties came forward at the hearing of the case. On the part of the defendant it was positively denied that the cart was his, and his driver, a boy, distinctly swore that he knew nothing of the occurrence, and that on the day in question, when he was driving his master's cart, no such thing took place. The case was therefore adjourned, in order to afford the plaintiff an opportunity of producing further evidence if he could. Mr. Gnocorr stated that the plaintiff had advertised since the former hearing, offering a reward to any one present at the time who would come forward and give evidence, but no one had appeared. _ _ The boir - who drove defendant's cart was again called, and repeated his former evidence ; but admitted that he might have returned home by Berry-street upon the day in question. His HONOR : This case has peen investi gated, and not more so than it deserves, but I cannot say that I am clearly satisfied that it was Mr. Suttcliffe's cart which did the damage. Neither am I satisfied that it was not, and I regret to state that I am not at all satisfied by the evidence of the boy, that he knows nothing about the occurrence. But I must be satisfied clearly that Mr. Sutt cliffe is accountable for the damages, before I could give verdict s t c.;..st him. I cannot make him arcu-erable for what has not been distinctly proved a 6 dinst him. It is very clear that a cart did the damage to Mr. Smith, and did it in a most unjustifiable manner, and that the cart was driven by a young boy, and that the damage was done at the corner of Berry-street. A gentleman, who picked Mr. Smith up and prevented the cart from running over him, appears to have had his senses perfectly under control, but he had only the single instant, while the cart was driving round the corner, to see what name was on it. I must confess that lam not at all satisfied with what the boy has stated. , At his Honor's desire the boy was again placed in the box, when His HONOR said : You have been listening very attentively to what I have said, and I am sure you perfectly compre hend it. It has not been proved to day that your master's cart did not do this damage, and I am not satisfied that you have told me all you know about it. The day may come when there will be evidence brought to prove it, and if I find hereafter, as it may be I shall find, that you are the per-Son who did the mischief, I give you warning that I shall un doubtedly consider it my duty to send you to take your trial for perjury. At present that has not been done, and I tell you this that you may !know in what position you stand. Upon the evidence which has been produced, and as the per sons at the occurrence have not come forward, I am bound to say that the case has not been made out. His Honor, therefore, declared the case dismissed. RIME appeared for the defendant. CLOSING OF TILE DUBLIN EXFIIBITION.—The Dublin Exhibition of Industry will be, closed on Monday next at four o'clock. His Excellency' the Lord Lieutenant will preside at the ceremony, and will confer the honor e knighthood on Mr. C. P. Rooney, the most active organirer of the undertaking.

Mr. Snowball, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the defendant.—Police officer 56 said : Elizabeth M'Vicar keeps a public house in Lime-street. At a quarter before twelve, hearing a great noise, I went inside, accompanied by officer 216. I saw ten men in front of the bar, with a halt-gallon jug before them, six of whom were drunk. One of the men that was drunk filled a glass of ale and handed it to another. In the snug behind the bar there were four men and two prostitutes. I tasted the ale ; I could not say whether it was fourpenny ale; I saw the ten men come out of Cropper's beer-house; they were turned out, I ohould oay ca. oub ban, I did not Irnnw where they went after, not until I encountered them at Mrs. MTicar's public house.—Officer 216 was then examined, and he corroborated the evidence of the previous witness. — Eliza Kitson, servant to Mrs. M'Vicar, was then examined She said: lam servant to Mrs. M'Vicar.

It appeared from the evidence adduced, that two officers of Excise, Mr. Thomas Ashford and Mr. George Windle, went to the defendant's house, 15, Collior-street, where they found a sill at full work. Wood was found there, taken before the magistrates, and in de- fault of payment of a fine of £3O for working the still, was committed to prison for three months.

In his plea the defendant set forth that he was not guilty—that he did not convert the goods ; and that if he did convert them, he had the plaintiff's consent f or d o i ng so. It appeared that the plaintiff had been the tenant of the defendant for a certain house and shop in St. Ann Street. It suited his purposes to leave the house before the expiration of his term, and the sole question raised in the present action was whether or not the defendant had ac cepted unconditionally his surrender. On the part of the plaintiff it was alleged that the surrender was accepted unconditionally, while on the part of the defendant the contrary was maintained. lie alleged that, on quitting the house and shop, the plaintiff had given up the fixtures as an equivalent for the rent then due, and for that which would accrue on the unexpired term. The defendant accordingly appropriated the fixtures ; and the present action was brought by the plaintiff to recover their value. Much irrelevant matter was gone into, but the leading facts of the case were brief and simple.—The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £6. SMITH V. PYER. Mr. Mc Aubery, instructed by Mr. Wheeler, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Brett, in structed by Mr. Berket, for the defendant. The plaintiff is a widow, and her husband tenanted rooms from the defen dant in khouse in Scotland Road, at a rent of 7s. a week. On the death of her husband, in the early part of this year, the plaintiff continued the occupation of the rooms, but on the Ist of August the defendant, with his men, came and expelled her from them. On the part of defendant it was alleged that the plaintiff was greatly in arrear in her rent, and that therefore the defendant had a right to expel her Verdict for the plaintiff for 255. _ _ MEAD AND ANOTIiER v. HALL.-Mr. Millward, in structed by Mr. Fletcher, for the plaintiff; but the defen dant did not appear either in person or by council. The plaintiffs are grocers and ship store-dealers in this town, and the defendant is the owner of the schooner "Atlanta," and the action was brought to recover the balance of an account for goods supplied, worlc done, and money spent about the "Atlanta." The original debt was £75 15s. 9d, out of which £24 was paid; and the jury returned a verdict for the balance, £5l 15s. 9d. RYAN V. PIERCE.—Mr. Brett, instructed by Mr. Bremner, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Millward, instructed by Messrs. Evans and Son, for the defendant. The action was brought on two bills of exchange which the defendant had accepted, amounting to £Bl 10s. ; and the jury found a ver dict for the plaintiff. JONES AND OTHERS V. Moss.—Mr, Aspinall and Sir George Stephen, instructed by Mr. Cross. appeared for the plaintiff; ;and Mr. Brett, instructed by Mr. Forshaw, for the defendant. The action was brought to recover the amount of goods sold and delivered, work and labour done, and balance on an account, stated in all, £23 ss. 9d. The plaintiffs are Messrs. Buckley, Jones, & Co., shipbuilders in this town, and it appeared that they were employed about the end of last May to do some repairs to a vessel called the " Taymouth Castle," then in the Graving-dock, by the de fendant, Mr. Moss, and another gentleman, Mr. Joseph Thomas Butler, who were in partnership at that time as coal merchants. The repairs went on, and payments on account were made from time to time. In June, Mr. Moss and Mr. Butler dissolved partnership as coal merchants, but they still continued joint proprietors of the " Taymouth Castle." The defendant alleged that he was not liable for the repairs of the vessel, inasmuch as shortly before the dis solution of their partnership as coal merchants, Mr. Butler had become sole proprietor of her. In the ship's register the owners set forth were Mr. Moss and Mr. Fletcher ; and the plaintiff further alleged that the order for the repairs vas given by the firm, and they had no notice given them by Mr. Moss as to his non-liability in this particular.— Verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. THE NEW RECORD REPOSITORY. The new Record Repository is progressing towards completion. In the year ended the sth of January, a,300 was allowed for out of the public money. CHINA.—On Tuesday was printed a Parliamen tary document containing a correspondence with the Super intendant of British Trade in China on the subject. of emigration from that country. §FP- 11 ET SERVIOR —7+ - appockwa Llino ILL Lite year ended the sth of January last, the home secret service cost the country £lO,OOO, the foreign secret service £31,000 and the secret service (Ireland) £4,715. JUDICIAL SERVICES.—The pensions for judicial services are beyond the military and naval services. Last year the amount was £42,264. There are several retired Lord Chancellors on the list of pensioners. THE WESTERN FISHERIES.—During the past week upwards of 5000 hogsheads of pilchards have been taken near St. Ives, Cornwall, by one firm. Other boats have taken 560 hogsbeads, 1,550, and 3,500 hogsheads respectively. Several thousand herrings have also been taken, and have sold at four shillings per hundred of six score. THE NEW ROYAL PALACE AT BALMORAL.—The Queen's residence at Balmoral, concerning which we are often asked, is making considerable progress, and promises without great pretensions, to be a piece of solid and real construction. The south and east sides have been roofed in, and will speedily be made fit for occupation. The building is wholly faced with dressed granite, the mouldings and ornamental portions being carved on the spot. Modern agremens will not be omitted : two fountains are in course of formation ; pipes to carry the water sixty feet high, by means of a steam-engine are already fixing.—The Builder. PROPOSED STATUE TO PRINCE ALBERT.—A. meeting is to be held at the Mansion-house, on Monday, the 7th of November, the object of which is to raise a subscription for the erection of a statue to Prince Albert, to serve as a national tribute of respect to his Royal Highness for having suggested and organized the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Lord Mayor, it appears, has warmly interested himself in this project, and the proposal having met with the sanction of many distinguished persons, there is no doubt that it will be successfully carried into effect. A good deal of cor respondence has taken place upon this important subject. The proposal is to erect on some part of the site of the Great Exhibition a monument, the principal figure of which shall be that of Prince Albert, as a memorial illustrative of that great event, and, at the same time, to evince the gra. titude of the British nation for the eminent services ren dered upon that occasion by his Royal Highness to the in dustrial and commercial interests of the community. STATE OF PARTIES IN AMERICA.—The New York Herald thus describes the state of parties :—" Tumult and discord seem to be the order of the day amongst all parties, clans, and cliques. The Democrats, the Whigs, and the Abolutionists are split up, and writhing from intense com motions ; and now, in order to keep up the spirit of the time, the Women's Rights party have not only quarrelled among themselves in Convention, but have taken a step in advance of their contemporaries, and had a fight. Accord ing to our report of the proceedings, a most terrific war of words took place prior to the adjournment of the last Saturday, on the subject of Christianity, between the Rev. Antoniette Brown, Lloyd Garrison, and others. Miss Brown defen ct d ,_ ! , lr In ß a ib g l r e a .

The speeches, the scenes, and the incidents that have occurred in this gathering of the strong minded are unparalleled for their comicality and spiciness in the history of all conventions which have hitherto been held this season." DEATH FROM GIVING CORDIAL TO AN INFANT.— CAUTION TO MOTHERS.—Before Edward Herford, Esq., coroner for the city of Manchester, an inquest was held at the Spread Eagle, Stretford New-road, touchinc , the death of an infant three weeks old, named Emma Lockett, illegiti mate daughter of Jane Lockett. The mother was called, and stated that she called on her sister, Mrs. Hudson, resid ing at 39, Brunswick-street, with the baby in her arms, and that she remaine I there through the afternoon. About nine o'clock the child cried a good deal, and her sister said, " Suppose we give it a little of the Infant's Preservative," which she had been in the habit of giving to her own chil dren. And her sister said that she was going into Duke street, and would get some. She accordingly went out and brought some stuff back in a bottle, of a muddy, brown cast. The label bore on it "I n f an t' s ordial." They gave the child eight drops, as the label directed, and it became quite ill afterwards. During the night the child's colour changed very much. It began to close its eyes soon after it got the stuff, and never awoke all night. About eight o'clock in the morning witness took the child down to her mother, who said it was very ill affected, and that she (witness) had better take it to Mr. Wild, the surgeon. Accordingly she went with the child to Mr. Wild, who said that the baby was very bad from the effects of the cordial. He gave it a little bottle of something, but it went on still shutting its eyes, and a short time afterwards died. Witness went and told the registrar of deaths that the child had been in con vulsions ever since its birth, and said nothing of giving it the cordial. Mr. Wild, surgeon, stated that death was caused by the narcotic given to the child. Verdict, "Poi soned by the narcotic mixture given to the child by the mother.' The jury severely censured the mother and her sister for their carelessness and deception, and recommended that some steps should be taken to stop the administration to young children, and the sale by druggists, of the poison ous compounds sold under the name of cordials or preserva tives. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. ....-YESTERDAY. Written expressly for the Northern Daily Times SUGAR.—The demand continues inactive, the sales being confined to about 900 bags Benares, chiefly at 375. 9d. to 395. fld., including low brown Bengal, at 295. 3d. to 31s. per Of UOLASSES we have to report 160 puncheons indirect clayed Ctsha, at I6s. per cwt. from the quay. No sales have transpired in either Rum or COFFEE; but 120 bags St. Lucia Cocoa are reported at 30s. per cwt. Arracan RICE has again been purchased freely at higher rates, 4,000 bags having brought 12s. 6d. to 133. ; 1,500 bags Ben gal have also been taken at 14s. 3d. to 14s. 9d ; and 6JO bags Moulmain, all faults, at 12s. to 13s. 9d. per cwt. A further quantity of African IVORY (about 8i tons) was brought to auction to-day, and sold at prices ranging chiefly from £32. to £39. per cwt., being similar rates to those ob tained yesterday. - REVIEW OF THE WEEK The arrivals of English and Irish produce into this port dur ing the last three days are trivial, and, in addition to the liberal supplies up to Tuesday, we have no grain worth nfming fresh in from abroad; from British Colonies, the United States, and Spain, however, the import of flour is moderately fair, 1,892 barrels of the former being a returned parcel from Australia. We had a good, but not large attendance at our Corn Ex- change to-day. The demand for wheat was chiefly for the interior of the country, and a fair business was transacted in the better class of white and red foreign at an improvement of Id. to 2d. per 70 lbs., over the currency of last- market day ; the lower descriptions were in poor request, however, and can scarcely be called any thing dearer ; as usual on Fridays, few farmer's samples were offered.—Flour is 6d. per barrel, and ls. per sack higher, with a tolerably fair inquiry. Grinding barleys are in improved request, at ld. to 2d. per bushel advance, and malting qualities would sell at our late extreme quotations. Malt is Is. per qr. dearer. Of pease there are scarcely any left, and they are now held for extrava gant rates, in retail. Beans have been sold in quantity for arrival, at 2s. more money, and the few parcels of Egyptian remaining bring 2s. 6d. to 3s. per qr. above Tuesday's prices. Oats arc Id. per bushel, and oatmeal, the market being cleared of all the old parcels offering, sold at a general improvement of Is. per load. Indian corn also experienced a most active sale, especially for feeding descriptions, and we note an ad vance of Is. tol s. per qr. SUGA.R.—The market remains in a very dull state, and the sales are confined to 500 hhds. B. P., chiefly to the refiners, and 1300 bags of Bengal at about former rates. Foreign.—The market continues very quiet, and the sales reported are only 1300 hhds. Cuba Muscovado and Porto Rico, at 325. 3d. to 34s 9d per cwt. duty paid. MOLASSES do not go off quite so readily, and the only sales reported being 200 puns. Antigue at.l6s 6d to 17s. 41-d. per cwt. from the quay. COFFEE.—The Trade evinced no disposition to purchase Jamaica at the recent auction, and the whole was withdrawn. Of Foreign, the sales are 1500 bags Bahia at 295. to 485., and 2200 bags Rio, afloat, at 455. 6d. per cwt., for a near continental port. A small parcel of Para C OCOA has been taken at 28s per cwt. RICE.—A large business has been done in Arracan, the sales amounting to 40,000 bags, at lls. 9d. to 12s 6d., being an advance of 6d. per cwt.; 500 bags of Bengal are also reported at ISs. to 15s. 3d. RUM.—The business is confined to 70 puns. of Trinidad, to arrive, at rather easier rates. The market has been very buoyant during the week for all descriptions of Tea, and a good business done at advancing rates ; several holders have withdrawn their stocks until the delivery of the Overland letters, which are expected to day. —Yesterday about 23 tons of African and Egyptain Ivory were offered, all of which. went with fair spirit at about previous rates; one lot reached £4O 155., being an advance of 15s. to 208. per cwt. on fine sorts ; nothing reported in Shell Lac, Lac Dye or Indigo ; 400 bags Myrabolams sold at 93.9 d. per cwt., some Gum Copal at 12d. per lb, and a few barrels of American Bees' Wax at £7 17s. 6d., 100 tons Sago Flour, to arrive, . _ at 21s. per cwt., also 20 tons Panama Mother-of-Pearl Shell; at £2B per ton ; 500 bags Saltpetre taken at 28s. 6d., and 100 tons Nitrate of Soda at 17s. 6d. per cwt.-For Dyewoods gene rally there is but little demand, and some kinds can be pur chased on rather easier terms; the transactions in Logwood eonsists of 120 tons Campeachy at £8 ss. ex ship, 25 tons Honduras at £6, 20 tons Jamaica and St. Domingo at £5. ss. to £5 10s. ; For Fustic the demand is limited, and to effect sales holders are compelled to take reduced prices ; small parcels of Lama Wood, amounting to 25 tons, have been taken at £l3 10s., but nothing of moment has occunred in Nicaragua Wood, or Camwood; about 15 tons of inferior Sapan Wood realized £l2 ss. per ton.-no sales reported in Turpentine or Tar.-About 1000 brls. of American Rosin sold at 6s. 10d. to I ls. 6d, per cwt. according to quality.-Ashes have continued in active demand, and about 800 brls. sold at 30s. to 31s. for pot, and 28s. per cwt. for pearl.-Cloverseed has been in good demand, 30 tons American red selling at 535. to 555. per cwt. ; 5.50 bags East India Rapeseed are reported at 48s. ; Linseed continues in large demand, and 555. per quarter would be readily obtained for Bombay.-Hides.--The public sales on Tuesday were exceedingly dull, and the greater portion with drawn ; only 3500 East India Kips found buyers, at 81d. to B:dd. for fair dry salted, and 44d. 61d. for rubbed, 600 dry Batavia Buffalo at 41d. and 2000 Singapore at 3d. to 31-,d., 500 dry Bahia at 6'4d., 120 Valparaiso at 51d., 200 dry River Plate at 70. to Bd., 1000 salted at 4id. to sd. per lb, for sound, and 800 Horse Hides 'at Bs. 3d. to 93., each for sound ...h.-a.- The acm,tha Drtunitone continues limited, and it further reduction of 2s. 6d. per ton has been submitted to in some instances; the sales are about 100 tons-Nothing worthy of notiee.done in Sumac.-Argols are still tending upwards, and of Tartar, sales of inferior brown made at 1035., of better quality at 1165., and of Cream at 150 s. per cwt.-There is very little inquiry for Madders or Madder Roots, and the only sole reported is a small parcel of middling Turkey Roots at 625. per cwt.-Olive Oil has been almost without inquiry, and not more than 30 tuns reported, at rather easier prices.--1 00 tuns Seal Oil have been sold at the quotations, and 60 tuns Cod at £34. per tun.-A moderate business has been done in Linseed Oil at 30s. 6d. to 315., and in pale Rapo at 41s. 6d. to 425. per cwt. Spirits of Turpentine are dull at 575. to 58s. per cwt.-A further advance has taken p'ace in Palm Oil ; the sales during the week amount to 780 tons on the spot, and 650 tons to arrive, all at £4O. to £4O. 1l s. per ton. Tho demand for Petersburg Y.C. Tallow is limited, at 58s. 6d. to 595. per cwt., but South American sells freely at former prices. -200 tons American Lard have been sold, the price not re ported.-Nothing done in Baltic Hemp, but 200 bundles Bombay have been taken at £23. per ton.-No sales to report in Jute. One hundred bags Malabar black Pepper are reported at 41(1. per lb ; and 20 tons St. Domingo Logwood, all faults, al £5. ss. per ton. The Tea Market continues firm, and prices have an upwari tendency. COTTON.—We have had a pretty fair and steady demand for cotton throughout the week, but the business has not been sufficient to impart much life to the market, having only averaged about 6,000 bales per day, a quantity barely or at all events only just sufficient to enable holders to sustain the ad vance noticed in our report of last week. The " turn out" still continues at Wigan and Preston, and after to-day the mills at Burnley and some other places will be closed, which will cause a considerable reduction in the consumption, and which accounts for the small purchases now making by the trade. As regards American descriptions the current qualities, middling to middling fair, are well supported, whilst the in ferior sorts, although not without demand, have scarcely been so easy of sale. In Brazils no change can be noticed. Some business has been done on speculations in Egyptians, and they are in rather more request, but prices are quite as irregular as ever. There continues to be a good demand for Surats, and the sales are large, but without producing any amendment in prices. 3,570 bales American, 660 Egyptians, and 4,800 Surats have been taken on speculation and for export, and 27,520 bales by the trade. The actual export consists of 1,450 American, 30 Br and 700 East India—in all 2,180 bales. The tut il imports for the week aro 21,942 bales. PROVISIONS.—The demand for beef this week has been scarcely so brisk, but prices have not varied, and holders are not pressing. There is no chango in the value of pork ; the sales are to a moderate extent, and the stock is now getting into a manageable compass. The inquiry for bacon, though far from active, is somewhat improved ; the present moderate price of American, compared with Irish, seems likely to turn attention to the former. Shoulders are without change. The sales of lard reach nearly 200 tons; a slight concession having en made by one holder to clear out. Cheese sells slowly at [ast week's prices, but only the finest bring the top quotation, middling qualities are difficult to move. The demand for lin- seed cake is active, at full prices. Tallow is lower Is. per cwt., and dull at the decline. The corn market shows a still upward tendency, and, though in flour there has been some what less activity, wheat has been in good request, at an ad vance of 2d. to 3d. per 70 lbs. Indian corn has advanced 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Oats, oatmeal, and beans, also, are the turn dearer. To-day the market was very strong, at a further advance, the full quotations being eagerly paid f or a ll articles. Con N.—The weather has again turned to wet, and though in many parts of the country the harvest has at length been ter minated, it has been under unfavourable circumstances for quality and condition, in both which respects, as well as the experience of the yield, complaints tend rather to increase than otherwise. Embarassed as our grain trade is by the many distressing circumstances bearing upon it this season, it is not turprising that the tendency of prices in all directions continues towards advance ; and notwithstanding somewhat greater cau tion in going into extensive stock appears to be exercised by consumers ; and speculators, from the probability of greater stringency in monetary affairs, may be for the most part reluctant to enter into large engagements, there seems little reason to hope that this tendency can bo effectually checked as the year proceeds. The present rates of wheat and flour must naturally turn consumption more upon the cheaper articles of food, and these latter will probably bear a higher relative value than is usual when the general course of prices is upon a moderate scale. The trade HERE the last two days has ruled steady, and even rather dearer, for wheat and flour, with a tolerable but not large demand. Oatmeal and Indian corn have been in good request at very full prices. LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY The supply of all sorts of grain this week has been moderate. Although there were several country wheat-buyers at market this morning, nevertheless the attendance was smaller than we have been used to of late, and the business transacted was only limited, but the full prices of Monday were obtained. In float ing cargoes from the south them did not appear to be any transactions. Barley, beans, and peas bring Monday's rates. Oats were held for rather more m one y , and, In of 6d per quarter advance has been paid. FO" inquiry, at Monday's prices.
