But let us not be discouraged, humli!el by the past.

The Treasurer next read a statement of the collections Made in Liverpool and its neighbourhood on behalf of the Church Missionary Society. The Rev. FREDERICK F. GOUGH, M.A., missionary Teem China, was the first speaker. He moved the first resolution, which was to the effect that the report now read be adopted and printed for circulation. In that report one interesting item, which he had observed with sincere pleasure, was the increase in the collec tions. When he said so, it was proper, he should also state that he liked to see that increase, not from mere love of the money, blat because of the fact, that it indicated the existence in their hearts of a deepened interest in the glorious work of extending the truths of Christianity. (Hear, hear.) They could not forget, however, that the wealth and population of the town were an the increase. The question had occurred to his mind, — Did the increase in the collections for the C !lurch Missionary e .Seeiety, during the last year, correspond with the mate rial progress of Liverpool ? That was a question which he, of course, could not answer,Thut he merely threw it out as it occurred to his mind. But there were other in teresting items in the report which he could not now refer to, although they might suggest many an interesting topic. lie would occupy a portion of their time, having only re cently returned from China, with details concerning the state of that far-distant land. He would confine himself ' e biefle to such particulars as had come under his own eye, and in which he himself had been permitted to take a part. They were not to suppose, for a moment, that what he had to say referred to the whole of China; his subject included only a very small fragment of that Country. He rejoiced, however, that, though very little la had d been done, comparatively speaking, that heathen n, which had been so long hermetically sealed against the admission of the Gospel, was now opened, and a Way provided for the introduction of © truth, which would eventually cover the whole world. It was now three and a-half years since he first left England for China. The voyage thither, as the most of them was P ro bably aware, occupied four or five months, in the ordinar y e ,eetru e k Way, by going round the Cape. He was espeel zedn ilninedanism, during that voyage with the beautiful islands Zt,boe sea —those islands where there was no religion but and no place of worship but mosques r. .eathen temples ; where there was not a single Be.eahviiosuhra.n missionary —not one individual to testify to the He prayed that those numerous islands of the sea, so lovely and attractive to the eye of the pilgrim on the sea, might not be forgotten or neglected by Christians at home. (Hear, hear.) The field of missions to which he was about to direct their attention was the city of Ningpo, in which he had laboured. He merely made a passing allusion to the immense districts of Shanghai, Canton, and Hong Kong; in particular to the vast population in which the only Christian missionary was the Rev. Dr. Walsh. Why was he left alone ? Because the Chris tians at home did not come forward to the work. Hence did it arise that the solitary missionary must be left with all the discouragements and difficulties of his strange Position—a weak-handed instrument for so great a work ....as that w hi c h th e m i ss i onar y t o a h ea then l a nd undertook. Ningpo was situated about 900 miles from Canton. It lay upon the banks of a river at the distance of twelve miles from the coast. It was situated in the midst of a large plain, surrounded on every side by hills and lakes; the scenery, in fact, bearing a close resemblance to that ?r Cumb er l an d. Th e moun t a i ns were no t l o fty, b u t a t ~Ene same ti me , h e b e li eve d, were a s hi g h a s those of C umberland. The city, of course, differed widely in its "Chief features from an English town. The streets were ex 'se vehicles in use accounted for their narrowness ;and 'mere were unfortunately no sanitary commissioners to ensure cleanliness. ( Hear, hear.) With regard to the houses, e . th ey were never more than two stories in height, in gene ;f: !hey were only one. Eve the majority of the Man e:rots resided in habitations of a single story. With if:Peet to the people themselves, they were no t barbs n the common acceptation of the term. They were h ad Is ed and polite to a very considerable extent. They "t the comelicated machines that were to be found o - a n d P i e ration in England ; but they had very many clever wh . I ngenious contrivances of a mechanical kind, with I ! °4 many of the audience were to a certain extent ac aulted. As to their politeness, it more resembled what might be seen in Paris than that which they were accus tomed to find in England. This he illustrated by speci ern,.en,s of the com mon Chin es e conversation, especially the ',7ocK phrases in everyday use among the middle and upper classes of Chinese society. (Applause.) With Nerd to their spiritual state, which was the main point t hey had to consider, he must make one general remark before he entered into details. In China, and especially In that part of it where he lived for the spice of more t han two years, he found that the upper and educated classes were, to a very great extent, atheistic, whereas the females were invariably the victims of the gloomy and r epulsive system of superstitution which prevail e d. The y w orshipped the gods out of fear an d dread , not from. d love. Not unf requen tly their devotions were dictated by a e -sire for some temporal good,—for offspring, or wealth, or honours. If you ask what form of doctrine prevails in the country, the reply was that there were three,—the doctrine of Confuscius, of Bhuilda, and a third the disci ples of whiter might beralled the Rationalists of China. The educated class of the people an affected to be the disciples of Confuscius, and look up to him as the author of their doc trine, and of whom they make a boast ; though they did not call him God, yet they worshipped him, and sacrificed to him. They looked up to him as the great head and leader, not of their religion, for it was unworthy of the name, but of their doctrine. The books of Confuscius did not contain anything but the most indistinct notion of a - Supreme Being. They contained, however, many admir able ethical maxims, among which there was one that had never probably been heard in any other heathen land. From a passage in a book which, to a certain extent, resembled Boswell's Life of Johnson, in that it was writ ten by a disciple of Confuscius, who recorded most slavishly the sayings of that great man, it appeared that on one O ccasion he was asked if he could include the whole of duty in one word ? He gave one word, which, e e„'ne translated, meant, " What you would not have others to do to you, do it not unto them!' It vil s a very remarkable circumstance that this saying The° been put forward in a very prominent manner. spea ryker next proceeded to notice the position of e liters or educated class of the Chinese, who were the most proud and bigoted class of men, perhaps, who e ver existed upon the face of this earth. He referred ra re especially to those who were acquainted with, and *ho made their boast, of the writings of Confuscius. The rue account of the creation of the world which was to be intelligence in Chinese literature, was one which excluded the extreme of a Creator. It was to this effect. They say t hat the re ex i ste d a certa i n pr i nc i p l e ca ll e d t h e great from which emanated two other principles, the enerative p u principles of nature, and that these rodced heaven and earth. This was the way in which they ig nored the existence of an intelligent Creator, and by their ;Plel, unhappy system reduced their disciples to the lowest ` e h elaths of idolatry. He next proceeded to detail the baron of of the disciples of Bliudda, producing a great num neer , of the idols in daiiy use among the unfortu -2eo victims. The first he produced was one which ei'leht be found i n every shop in Ningpo : it was a ;Zan figure with a piece of silver in its hand, and his p the Pkeeper not only gave it accommodation in re- Mise s but also burned incense to it regularly every 4-uorni and ng and evening, for fear that he might lose his trade India fall into poverty. Bhuddism had been imported from into China. It is related that one of the Emperors ‘g C hina saw in his sleep the gigantic figure of a man. e• Consulted the learned men of the land, who told him eee t saying in the book of Confuscius, that there were kite men in the West. Ambassadors were at once dis patched on a mission of discovery ; and instead of going to s29thle, and it was then the very time of our a rour's appearance upon earth, they arrived in India, a nd from th a t l an d b roug h t b ac k t h e id o l atry o f s enudda. H e s h owe d th e Bh u ddi s t id o l o f t h e . H o l y el,other, as they call it, to w hi c h th e poor women o f Ch ina were especially devoted, and related an anecdote ta connexion with it which powerfully illustrates the crafti iss and s u btl e ty of the Papal missionari es w h o h ave been sent out to China. One of his neighbours, a poor a nd ignorant woman, came to him and told him that she 'was about to be baptized in the Roman Catholic Church ; and upon inquiry he ascertained that the only preparation Which had been specified for her, was the committing to Memory of a liturgy to the holy mother,—(hear, hear,) — the very idol which she had been accustomed to worship all her life. The god of small pox—Jupiter of the Pan ther—and other idols were then shown in succession— the speaker presenting to the view of the audience what required no explanation, namely, the beads in troduced by the Romanist missionaries. (Hear, hear, and applause). The Bhuddist priests are distinguished by their shaven heads, by the peculiar colour and cut of their a pparel, and also by the vow of celibacy which they take atentering the priesthood. They live in monasteries, yr,; ta reeeive the offerings of the poor women who come cari n Zlar• What he related might almost appear a operationise the of Romanism ; out he had witnessed it in i n that part of China where he lived, in which side be Was a large number of nunneries—for they by no 'other name—in which females re and o' like the priests have taken a vow of celibacy, in th who devote themselves to certain duties performed e runner 7ie vr of the erY. (Hear, hear.) He next passed to a re tie Rationalist body, who are not so numerous as e_ anuddists, and who profess to work by magical arts, i i n au u tit thus to drive away the evil spirits rears, professed ra an and who likewise, for many rears, enot Ased to be in possession of the of im -1alltY• With regard to the treatment of their seo missionaries , he mentioned that for a period of six c ° letha re he and a dear friend of his had dwelt in a Chinese te et ill e u rlitY numbering about 100,000 inhabitants ; and l e uoring the whole of their stay, they had only been c e ,l"el on one occasion, and then it was by a Roman atTolic, He stated that the missionary was able to teach P re ach in the Chinese language after a year's acquaint 3,ce with it, though, of course, it took ten or twenty age to obtain a literary knowledge of the tongue ; that l ower classes of the people were always willing to be to obtain d ressed or i ns t ruc t e d ; th a t it wa s found more difficult ei te l e bt aie a hearing from those in the middle or upper ea r's of society ; that in Ningpo therewere several converts pogreat prornise—one of whom, a devoted tailor, had been ap eral,,lltd a catechist. The speaker likewise stated, that it his intention to return to China, to resume the work of ,;angelizing the benighted population of that vast country, 1 0 n as his health became properly re-established. see The Rev. J. C. RYLE, Rector of Helminghain, Suffolk, • °Tided the resolution. He said that, unlike the last raker, he had neve r be en ou t o f the country, and con- Zirntly had not had any experience of the Heathens to ban Arr. Gough had alluded to. All he could do was g r ,,'lng before them a few facts illustrative of the pro -81,7.1 of the Society. He was aware that he was now e e , at clne, in a peculiarly business-like town, where the th e ", of figures was more especially felt them, therefore, ed l e neures he was about to lay before would not he ti lt their value in a town like Liverpool. Knowing pilt he was coming down to Livervool as one of the de e_ ,ation from the Parent Society, he thought he could not better than go to the offices of the Church Missionary f c ' e c t l etl - in London, which he did the other day. He, b ° o l h u natel found that a committee meeting was then held, and that the report which was to be brought -anch of Hall of o'clock. nitation Lev. F ourhata, na, who v. J. C• gst the ced, the . Jones, ht, W s, J. R. Esq., J. 8 . 11- ntly rtant and ween :hero end•. tionf these THE LTVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1853. b.!fore the ensuing, annual meeting. at Exeter-hall, was under consideration. He was able to i.lform the meeting that the income of the society, which would be laid before the meeting in London in about ten days, showed a decided increase over last year, and he was glad to say that this increase did not arise from any large legacies, or any other unexpected source, but was the result of a decided increase in the subscriptions and general contri butions from the different branch associations all over England. (Hear, hear.) This was a most grati fying state of things, because it showed that the society had a hold upon the true-hearted members of the Church of England. He (Mr. Ryle) firmly believed that the stronghold of the society consisted in the fact that it lived in the hearts of the middle classes of this country ; and this being shown year after year, was a proof that the Church Missionary Society was in a prosperous con dition, and had the confidence of the evangelical portion of the Church of England. The subscribers knew to whom they were giving their money—they knew the committee and were satisfied that the committee wourd endeavour to promote the spread of the gospel according to the principles laid down by the society. (Hear, hear.) He was happy to be able to inform the meeting, that during the past year the funds placed at the disposal of the society had been expended in foreign missions, nothing having been spent at home. For the year ending May, 1852, the society had 109 stations, but now they were able to report 118. With regard to missionaries, in the year 1852 they had 90 British, 54 foreign, and 19 native ; being 163 whilst this year they have 98 British, 55 foreign, and 20 natives, making altogether 173 as compared with 163 for the year ending May, 1852. The number of com municants and baptisms in North-western America, New Zealand, and Western Africa, was also very much on the increase ; so that there could be no doubt that the report which would be submitted at the annual meeting in London would contain a very satisfactory statement of the proceedings of the society during the year now completed. In nearly all the stations where the operations of the society had been Carried on with success, the favourable influence and the hand of God still continued. There was an exception to this, at pre sent, in Eastern Africa, but he had confidence that the work. now going on there would in time bring forth abundant fruit. We should not look for immediate re sults, but continue labouring, confidently hoping for thu ultimate success of our exertions. We were, in this world, prone to go too fast. He himself thought when he first entered the ministry, that he could, without much difficulty, successfully bring the truths of the gospel home to all those around him. Melancthon, in his day, thought so. He thought he had only simply to preach the gospel, but he soon found it was not so. Let them, however, not for a moment suppose that good works will not at last ' succeed. Sooner or later a work taken up in the name of Christ would succeed, and God would bring an abundant harvest. The speaker proceeded in eloquent terms to urge upon his hearers the necessity of giving renewed support to the society, and reminded them that they were not sent into this world to live for themselves, but that if they were true and faithful members of the Christian Church they would endeavour to advance and extend the Gospel of Christ,—that each of them would give his time, his money, his influence, and his talents for the purpose of glorifying God, and sending the truths of salvation to every part of the world wherever he had an opportunity of doing so. (Hear, hear.) They had heard from the accounts which had been read, that during the past year Liverpool had subscribed £2,600, and this was considered a fair sum. Now, he considered it was a small sum for such a town as Liverpool. He was not there to flatter them. He did not come from London to Liver pool for that purpose, and he franky told them that he considered such a sum was a small amount to send up from a town like Liverpool. What were they sending from the little county of Suffolk ? Why, within £lOO of what they were sending from Liverpool, and Suffolk was a poor, agricultural county. Now, he hoped that, in future, they would send more money from Liverpool. They ought to do so, for the sum raised was not worthy of the town. He was thankful to them for what they had done, but he did ask them to see if they could not improve upon what they had already done. Although the society had been liberally supported, he did not think that the funds bore any great proportion to the increase of the wealth of the country. After making an earnest appeal on behalf of the society, the speaker con cluded by seconding the mo ion for the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then said that the proceedings of the meeting would now terminate, and another meet ing would be held in the evening, when the Rev. Mr. Close and several other gentlemen would address them. With reference to the remarks made by Mr. Ryle, he would say that he was not surprised to hear that the contributions to the society did not bear any proportion to the increase in the wealth of the country; but they did bear a fair proportion to the advancement of real religion in the country. (Hear, bear.) It was an index that real religion was on the increase, although not at the rate, perhaps, of the increase in our population, or of our material prosperity. (Hear, hear.) The meeting broke up at two o'clock. lay against Scarecrow, as much as 40 to 1 being offered, but to day 25 to 1 was the highest price obtainable, which would have been laid in hundreds.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER. — The market has remained exceedingly quiet throughout the week, but without producing any material change in prices. The extreme rates of last week are less attainable, and spinners, in most instances, are more easy to deal with. Buyers still continue to operate with great caution, and the feeling against the stability of prices has, in conse quence of the decline in cotton, been more marked - this week. For India there continues some demand for Yarns, but to a much more moderate extent. For China there is also some inquiry. Yarns for home use are rather more inqired for, and prices remain on the whole steady. There has been a renewed demand for the China market this week, generally supposed to have been induced by an expectation of increased mercantile operations in that quarter, following the reduction.of the tea duties. Printing Cloths of all kinds are scarce, with an upward tendency, and Jacconets have this week been in better demand, at slightly higher rates. T Cloths, Longcloths, and Domestics, are without change. LEEDS.—The Woollen Cloth trade in this town and district is without noticeable alteration. The manufacturers are all employed, but many of them complain that, owing to the in creased cost of the raw materials and the price of labour, they are not able to realize sufficiently remunerating.prices. BRADFORD. — The Worsted trade is moderately active. A fair, seasonable business continues to be done, but the profits, owing to the cost of Wool, Yarn, Bic.,.are but small. Wools and Yarns have not altered in price during the week. HUDDERSFIELD.— The demand for Woollens on Tuesday was dull, in comparison with late markets, still a very good trade has been done, most of our merchants having bought pretty freely, there having been very few buyers from other towns. Fancies anti light Woollens in new patterns meet with ready sale for the spring trade. HALIFAX.—We are not able to report any amendment in the demand for Worsted Gocds, either plain or fancy, and, when ' inquiry is made, the prices' offered are generally below the cost of production. The spinners are asking higher rates for Yarn, and the feeling among the manufacturers seems to be in favour of a considerable concession, but not to such an extent as to cover the enhanced cost of the raw material. The Wool market is in a quieter state. The spinners, beingwetty well supplied, are out of the market, but the late quotations are steadily maintained. LEICESTER.—WOOIS and Yarns for this market are quite firm, with a still further upward tendency, which has its in fluence on the Hosiery trade; still there is a good deal of busi ness doing, and all the workmen are in full employment. NOTTINGFIANt. — T:Ie Lace trade since our last has been un usually dull for the time of year, but as buyers from the United States ara arriving by each steamer, this state of things must shortly be suczeeded by greater activity, the more so as Spring having fairly set in, the home trade in addition (which is always our best market) will keep the manufacturers in full employ ment. Lace Thread and Yarn continued at about the same rates, but still with an upward tendency. The proposed new tariff on importations of Pillow Lace and embroideries, altering tile duties how value to weight, appears by no weans favour able to the trade of Nottingham, as the duties levied under this system will be much lighter upon those goods than they have hitherto been. The Hosiery trade is still good in almost every branch, and notwithstanding the greatly increased number of new machines, there is sufficient demand to keep all in con stant work. CORN MARKETS.

Rio DE JANEIRO, MARCH 16.—The schooner Seine, from Liverpool for Paranagua, ran ashore at Saperaging, forty-five miles from Paranagua, February lith, and became leaky. She was boarded next morning by two hundred persons,who seized the vessel, broke open the hatches, and plundered the cargo. The Canada, from Callao for Hampton Roads, put in here February 17th, leaky, has discharged part of her cargo, found the leak, and will be caulked. CHESHIRE AND WALES. THE Two WOMEN condemned to death at the last assizes for Chester have been respited during her Majes ty's pleasure. MAJOR WILLIAM DAVENPORT DAVENPORT, late Major in the 26th Cameronians, and in the let Regiment of Royal Cheshire Militia, has been appointed Lieutenant- Colonel of the 2nd Regiment of Royal Cheshire Militia. CHESTER CHEESE FAlR.—Wednesday, April 20. — There was but a small quantity of cheese pitched, which met with a very ready sale at prices ranging from 583. to 68s. Some even fetched higher prices. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Traffic for the week ended April 17, 1853 :—Railway : Passen p.:ers , parcels, &c. £2,101 lls. 7d. • goods, £1,127 ls. sd. Steamboats : £2812 15s. 10d. Total, £3,511 83. 10d. Increase as com pared with the corresponding week last year, £562 4s. ld. THE BISHOP OF CHESTER has instituted the Rev. J. S. Whiteford, M.A., to the rectory of Taxall, near Macclesfield, rendered vacant by the resignation of the Rev. J. C'iampion, M.A. ; and has licensed the Rev. J. J. Nash, M.A., late Curate of Whitchurch, Salop, to the curacy of St. Michael's Church, Macclesfield. CHESTER RACES.—The meeting will commence on Tuesday, the 3rd of May. The Marquis of Waterford, Viscount Clifden, and C. Greville, Esq., stewards. The programme, which has just been published, ought, from its gigantic size, to satisfy the craving appetite of the most ardent sportsman. We observe for the first day five events. THE WHITCHURCH POSTMASTER.—The hearing of the serious charge of embezzlement against Mr. Richard Crosse, the Whitchurch postmaster, stands further ad journed. The prisoner has had a very serious attack of delirium tremens, and if the authorities had been pre pared to go into the case this could have prevented them. We understand, however, that he is much better than he has been.— Chester Chronicle. THE RATEPAYERS OF BIRKENHEAD.—•At an adjourned vestry on Thursday, the poll for an additional assistant overseer was announced to be :—For Mr. Shillinglaws, 423 ; Mr. Sweeney, 416 ; majority for Mr. Shillinglaws, 7. Mr. Sweeney requested a scrutiny of the votes, on the ground that persons not eligible had voted, and that several personations had taken place. Agreed to, the scrutiny to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. CHESTER CATTLE FAlR.—Thursday, April 2L—The number of good horses at the fair this day was small. The number of cattle were : bulls, 11; cows, 529 ; calves, 9 ; sheep, 310 ; and pigs, 651. The prices for fat cattle were fully 6d. per lb. There was a good demand for calving stock, but not many good beasts shown. Scarcely any fat sheep were offered, and store sheep were at very high prices. Barren cattle made a slight advance on former rates. Pigs also were a little dearer than at last fair. A LOVE-SICK SWAIN SWINDLED.—An Irish pedlar, named John Malarney, recently swindled Mr. William Carter, jun., of Shipbrooke, Cheshire, out of the sum of £4O, by an ingeniously devised plan, which wrought upon the over-sensitive heart of the verdant young farmer. On the 16th of March the prisoner accosted the prosecutor while ploughing in a field, and told him in the most mysterious manner that a young lady, a perfect Venus, who delighted in the name of Smith, and who resided at Over Whitley, in that county, and whose paternal parent lived upon his own estate, and kept sixty cows, had often seen him (the prosecutor) at Northwich, but had never had an opportunity of spe a ki ng t o hi m; th a t Mi ss J ane Smith wished to marry him, and to take a farm called Belmont, which would keep fifty beasts ; and that she wished to know if he would meet her the following Sun day at the Cock, in Great Budworth, to talk the matter over. The pedlar got the meeting put off; established himself as confidante of the supposed young lady, and as messenger to the delighted Carter, from whom he ob tained sums of money from time to time for various pur poses, including expenses of travelling, &c., amounting in all to £4O. Eventually, it appears that the fair Miss Smith was a mere phantom of the pedlar's wicked inven tion ; and so Malarney was brought up at the Knutstord sessions, on Saturday week, and sent to jail for twelve months. GLASS.—At a meeting of the :windo ff-glass manufac turers, held recently at Newcastle-on-Tyne, it was re solved not to increase the price, although at present unre munerative, lest an advance should lead to the introduc tion of glass from the continent.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.- 7 THURSDAY. Few subscribers were present, and little business was trans acted. The principal movement was relative to the Two Thousand, for which event West Australian was in increased demand. Early in the afternoon 110 to SO was betted against him, but subsequently several investments were made on him at sto 4. Ultimately 6to 5 was taken about him, and at the close of business lie was quoted at " evens," the field having the " call." 20, 15, and 12 to 1 were laid against Sittingbourne to small sums.—For the Chester Cup 20 to 1 was taken to .elOO about Scarecrow, and 9 to 1 and finally 8 to 1 were taken about Trifle.—The transactions on the Derby were marked by no im portant change ; 66 to 1 was offered against The Reiver ; 1,200 to 1,000 was betted on Orinoco against Cineas, and 1,000 to 100 against Cineas and Ninnyhammer coupled. Closing prices : TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. Even agst Mr. Bowes's West Australian—take 6 to 5. 3to 1 Mr. J. M. Stanley's Orinoco—taken. 7to 1 Lord Exeter's Filbert—taken.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER,—FRIDAY. The betting to-day has been principally confined to the Two Thousand Guineas, for which event 140 to 120 was taken about \Vest Australian, and subsequently he was backed against the field ; Orinoco was backed at 7 to 2 to £4O, and a t th e close 4 to 1 to was laid against him.—For the Chester Cup, Nancy was yesterday backed to win a large amount, the tak er tiring out the layers ; to-day, however , 25 to l was her taking price, Tbere hat been a strong disposition during the week to A GLANCE AT THE CHESTER CUP AND THE DERBY. _ _ _ TO THE ZDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sig,—We are nigh upon the eve of another Chester Cup, and only a score more days to the Derby. With regard to the Chester Cup, upon which, as is always the case after the com ing off of the Spring Handicaps, the betting has materially changed ; consequently, since my last, other names have figured prominently in the prices current. Notwithstanding, my choice, it may be gratifying to my readers—l know it is to some—to state, is unchanged; and indeed so much so, that 1 may say I have a better opinion of him—if that be possible— than Black Doctor. My two heavy weights, Newminster and Lady Evelyn, and St. Michael, with one or two others I touched upon, continue also equally as dangerous as before ; and, fur thermore, I still hold to Friday to form W. Day's representa tive; Newminster, Scott's; Gossamer, Osborne's, &c. &c.; and, despite late performances, which have ruled prices, I in tend to stick to King of Trumps to prove Dawson's ; Indian Warrior from his stable; and Contentment from his. At the same time I am aware that it may be a toss up between King of Frumps and Peggy, whom he gives 2st. 21b., as also between the Warrior and Talfourd, and the latter of which is given 2st. However, the scythe and hour-glass will give an opportunity to all persons of seeing (the four, from the two stables, being cer tain to start) whether " Beeswing" is right or not, who would have all to remember, that " terror lives ere reason can be born." And lastly, for the guidance of my readers, I would add to the names I have already touched upon, those of Rich mond and Deerhound, and recommend keeping on the safe side of books sundry four year olds overlooked in the handi capping, such as Scarecrow and Richard Primmer, the latter of whom nave heard spoken of as likely to supersede the Doctor; but this, as also whether it will be the King of Trumps or Peggy, whether Indian Warrior or Talfourd, remains yet to be seen. I may add, and whether owing to the receipt of the Li verpool Standard in Chester, or that Deva's people are more knowing than the generality, I know not, but the news from thence has, I hear, been, for the past week, Little Jack and another I have named; and indeed, some say in London, " le font est jette." There is something in the wind with regard to the Derby. which, by the bye, reminds me of the enigmas of Pythagoras— " When winds rise, worship the echo ;" and which a modern writer (though not a very modern one either) explains to be significant of—" When rumours increase, believe the last re port." Now, if this explanation can be applied to racing, and methinks it can, Honeywood is a clipper. Well, he may be, and I really believe he is too ; but if Umbriel requires bleed ing, let me be the " leech;" in fact, 1 shall stick, as one, to him until I see him beaten on the day, for,there is, in my opinion, nothing to be named with him. In fact, in the present light in which things now present themselves, I should have Um briel, Orestes, Pharos, and Honeywood, 1,2, 3, and 4.-1 re main, respectfully yours, BEESWING. P.S.—The following six will be the competitors for the Two Thousand Guineas this day (Tuesday) :—West Australian, Sittingbourne, Orinoco, Lascelles, Barbatus, and Filbert; and should the first-natned "miss it," in consequence of the course being "sticky," then I shall fall back upon Barbatus to be my victor, Orinoco being close at hand. Lord Londesborough's colours are blue and silver. Lord Derby has purchased Phantom, by Irish Birdcatcher. Mr. Wilson has bought The Gip, by Ratcatcher, and she goes into George Noble's stable. Sweetness, by Sweetmeat, has been purchased by Mr. Pedley, for 75 guineas, and has joined Charles Peck's string. Mr. Bignell has purchased Desdemona, by lago, for 102 sovs., and she has been sent to Robert Denman's stables. " Pegasus," in Bell's Life, selects Orinoco as the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, and Sylphine for the One Thou sand Guineas. Hungerford, byJohn o'Gaunt, has been sold to Baron Roths child, for a large sum. W. King, at St. Alban's, will train him for the future. Collingbourne, the steeple-chase rider, had his collar-bone fractured whilst riding Harriott in the Coventry Steeple-chase, last week. Anne Eliza, the property or the late Mr. Bell, was offered for sale last Wednesday, at York. She was bought in at 41,000, the highest bid being 4950. Orinoco is stated to have had a satisfactory trial with Frantic, which, no doubt, has led to his great advance in favour for the Two Thousand and the Derby. The Mersey Stakes, to have been run on the first day, and the Stanley Stakes, on the third day, at Liverpool Meeting, not having filled, have been re-opened. Thomas Birchall, Esq., of Bibbleston-hall, Preston, (late of the Vision,) has purchased the cutter yacht Freak, 60 tons, from William Curling, Esq., Lytchett-house, Poole. A match, for 500 sows., has been made between the Duke of Bedford's Sittingbourne and Lord Clifden's Pelion, Sat 7W each ; T.M.M. ; to be run in the Craven Meeting, 1854. At York, last week, the Leviathan bet Mr. Wilkins .620,000 to .el,OOO against his mare Peggy winning Chester Cup. He also laid £24,000 to £2,000 against Orinoco for the Derby. Mr. Watt's brood mare Echidna died last week, after foaling a filly by Sweatmeat. She was the dam of The Baron, and granddam of Stockwell, both winners of the Doncaster St. Leger • A large concourse of spectators assembled on Langton Wold, on Thursday morning last, to witness John Scott's horses take their morning exercise. There were forty-three horses out, including West Australian, Umbriel, Newminster, Braxey, St, Michael, Hurworth, and many other favourites for the Derby, Oaks, and Chester Cup. West Australian, anti Longbow had a rattling two mile gallop, and, on pulling up, the general feeling was in favour of the former, who has much improved on his two year old form. GREAT PIGEON SHOOTING MATCH AT PRESTON AND BELLE VUE GARDENS.—This contest, between Mr. Robert Seed, of Preston, and Mr. Edwin Wood, of Manchester, commenced at Preston on Monday. The match was for .t'2o9 a side, to shoot at 200 birds each-50 each day—causing it to occupy four con secutive days—the two first at Preston, and the remaining two at Belle Vue, near Manchester. The score up to Tuesday evening was—Mr. Seed, 96; Mr. Wood, 93. On Wednesday, at one o'clock, the match was continued on the ground of Mr. Jennison, Mr. Seed being the favourite, though much specula tion took place at evens. Every preparation had been made, the numerous company being kept back by chains, and the 80 yards boundary for the pigeons defined by white posts. Owing to the high wind which prevailed, and which, of course, had a tendency to facilitate the escape of the birds, neither gentle man was very successful, as, on the conclusion of the day's sport, Mr. Seed had only killed 39 out of 50, and Mr. Wood 38. The match was again resumed at one o'clock on Thursday, and 6to 4 was freely laid that Mr. Seed won the contest. The atmosphere was favourable for the sport, and, at the conclusion of the day, Mr. Seed had killed 44, and his opponent 43. The total score, therefore, is :—Monday, Mr. Seed, 47 ; Mr. Wood, 46; Tuesday, Mr. Seed, 49; Mr. Wood, 49; Wednesday, Mr. Seed, 39; Mr. Wood, 38; Thursday, Air. Seed, 44; Mr. Wood, 42 total score being 179 for Mr. Seed, and 175 for Mr. Wood— the last-named gentleman losing (though having proved himself an excellent shot) by four birds only! Many of the inhabitants of Preston, who spectilated large sums, have occa sion to pride themselves on their townsman (Mr. Seed), for by the result of this great match he stands almost, if not entirely, the champion of the world at pigeon-shooting.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 22.—The market was slenderly attended by either town or country millers ; the amount of business in Wheat was, however, to a fair extent, and prices well supported; fresh samples of all kinds are comparatively scarce, and prime qualities inclining somewhat dearer. There is a fair inquiry for American Flour, superior brands are in small compass, and all descriptions command full prices; French a slow sale, but Spanish again rather higher. The season for malting Barley is about over ; grinding parcels meet a fair retail sale. Malt is in tolerable request. Beans, ex warehouse, dull at about the same rates; about 6,000 quarters were sold yesterday, to arrive, at 30s per 480 lbs. duty paid. Oats and Oatmeal move only in retail at Tuesday's currency.

Fresh made Flour was held for full prices; but for other kinds the previous cur rency was barely supported. Oats ruled dull, and must be noted the turn lower. In Oatmeal no change was observable. PRESTON, APRIL 23.—We bad a dragging market for Eng lish Wlx.at at on. co.. Exchange to-day, but the farmers held with much firmness, and prices were supported. No ,oatarial change in Wheat from warehouse. Flour as before. Farmers' Oatmeal rather lower. Good winter-made Irish has met some inquiry this afternoon, at the currency of this day se'nnight. In other articles no change. WAKEFIELD, APRIL 22.—We continue to receive small supplies. The demand for Wheat is of a limited character, and much confined to fresh qualities, which make the full prices of last Friday; granaried parcels are neglected. Barley is without change in value, and not much English offering. Oats and Shelling are fully as dear. Beans are held for higher prices. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, APRIL 23.—At our market this morning we had a larger show of Wheat from the growers than of late, and the arrivals coastwise as well as from abroad were also to a fair extent; fresh-thrashed samples being wanted, were placed without difficulty at fully the rates of this day se'n night ; but for other sorts the inquiry was far from animated ; still, however, full prices were realised, the quantity offering not being of that magnitude to warrant any concession being made, even to effect sales ex ship. For Flour the demand was slow, transactions at the same time being conducted with the greatest caution. Rye met little attention, and its value was nominally unchanged. Fine heavy Malting Barley was in request, whilst for grinding or distilling qualities a slow sale was experienced, the buyers having the turn in their favour. In Malt little stirring. Beans and Pease much as before. With Oats we were scantily supplied by our farmers, and for such rather more money was obtained, whereas other descriptions sold slowly without any material change in price. WISBECII, APRIL 23.—We have had a fair quantity of Wheat offered to-day, and the extreme rates of last week fully supported for all sorts, and in some cases exceeded by is per quarter. No alteration in the value of Spring Corn. CORK, A PAIL 23.—The weather is most genial for the coming crops. Imports this week consist of 6,400 qrs. of Wheat, and 9,300 qrs. of Indian Corn. Foreign Wheat has been taken more freely, at a decline of 6d per barrel on prime qualities, and is per barrel on secondary. Indian Corn in demand, at the full rates of last week, with a decided consumptive increase. In Oats, free on board, nothing doing. DUBLIN, APRIL 22.—Our Corn market to-day was exceed ingly dull; in fact, there was scarcely any business transacted; and, although we do not alter our quotations of Tuesday, the general tendency of prices was in favour of the buyer, except on the article of Indian Corn, which was held firmly at late currency.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 25.—The supply of stock at market to day was moderate, and last week's prices were firmly sustained, especially for Beef, which was sold at an advance of about lOs per Beast. Prime Heifers made 6d to 6id ; Cows, sid to 51d ; Mutton Sd per lb., sinking the offal ; and Lambs went at from 2-Is to 32s each. SUPPLY AT MARKET. BEASTS.

Sheep larger in number, and of very good quality, from 6id to 7d ; and shorn Sheep 6d to Id, and a few left at the close. Calves, 53 : d to 64d. Number of Beasts, 1,250; Sheep, 4,709; Calves, 402. LEEDS, APRIL 20.—The number of Cattle at market was 750 head; quality generally good. Buyers were numerous, and at the close a good clearance was effected at from 8s to 8s 4d per 16 lbs. Sheep, 3,600. In the morning, trade was a little sluggish, but as the day advanced nearly all were sold. Sheep in the wool, Sd ; shorn, 6d to 6jd per lb. DUBLIN, APRIL 21.—For the season there was a fair supply, and sales over early, without any change in value, but the buy ing was brisk. There was an increased stock of young Calves from England, as well as year-old Cattle, for which there was a good demand; but Milch Cows scarce. The Pig market was a large one, and good business done at an advance, from the coldness of the season and the state of the Bacon markets. Prices of Beef, 508 to 55s per cwt.; Mutton, 7d to Sid in the wool ; Veal, 81,1 per lb., all in sink ; Lambs, 188 to 258 ; young Calves, 35s to 55s each. Year-old Cattle, Je4 to Jes; Pigs, 495 to 5123 a 525 per cwt. PROVISION MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 22.—We have had a very quiet week in Beef, and further reduced prices have been taken for ordinary descriptions. The demand for Pork does not improve, and holders of American are inclined to submit to lower prices to make progress. The increased arrivals of Bacon, with the report of further shipments, lead the dealers to expect lower prices, hence they hold back or buy mere retail parcels, and a further concession of Is. per cwt. does not seem to have im proved the demand. With the exception of 150 tons taken for forward delivery, at 51s. to 535., the sales of Lard have been of a retail character, at steady prices. For Cheese there is a fair demand ; the proposed reduction in the duty gives satisfaction. ST. JOHN'S MARKET.—Aran 23. s. d. s. d.
