The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : In the discount market the demand has been moderate. The financial advices from Paris ex press a greater degree of confidence than has been observable for some time past. About 40,000 sovereigns were taken from the Bank for America. In the Foreign Exchange the rate of Paris was slightly lower. Some considerable remittances of gold have lately been received at Paris from Constantinople, and it is now said that several amounts are on their way to London. —Times' City Article. British railway stocks experienced a decided rise in the morning, assisted by a rumour that the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company will pro- • bably be able to pay a dividend at the rate of 61 per cent. per annum. Although a partial reaction occurred in the afternoon, the closing quotations were decidedly about those of yesterday. - There is no pressure -for discounts upon the Bank of England, and an impression prevails that that establishment has now ceased to place stock upon the market. • The funds closed k per cent. better. The supply of money in the discount market appears to be increasing. Some of the more disquieting features affecting the market having subsided, a disposition is shown by holders of money to take advantage of high rates now current. The best bills were taken at 6 to 7 per cent. At the Bank of England there was a fair demand.—Daily News' City Article. The negotiations for enabling the resumption of business by Ede, Son, and Co. have fallen through, and the affairs of the house will pass into liquidation. The total liabilities, it appears, at the time of the stoppage were about a million, but a number of these have now run off.

OLD POSTOFFIOE-DITILDINGS: ; LIVERPOOL, such a wretched state of dependence is not only derogatory to our national dignity;, but wholly unnecessary, since, at less effort thall has been ne'eessary to develop' the Cotton trade of the Southern States of the United States, a far more abundant supply can be readily obtained from our own colonies: The question then comes to be, what sacrifice on our part is required to develop these new cotton-fields, and whether it is worth our while to make that sacrifice ? In short, is it .not the duty .ef all, not merely of . Cotton manufacturers, merchants, and brokers ) but of the nation generally, to see to it that whatever capital is required to effect the ciiltivation of Colonial cotton-grounds is immediately raised and applied ih the most likely places and with the least possible delay. • A fact is worth a thousand arguments. What a wonderful trade, then, must it be that yields the United State's a revenue of forty millions sterling • a-year ! Transfer this to- our Indian Exchequer,_ and we shall hear no more of mil lions sterling of deficiency in the revenue per annum. And yet all that is required to effect this transference is an investment of some eight or ten millions in public works, As it is, the proposed Cotton Company (Limited) meant to effect a material relief in the supply by the expen diture of only one million. That the GoVernment expenditure would repay itself, there seems not a doubt. Whether or not the joint-stock company investment wottld, under present circumstances, even yield a direct dividend or not, there seems to be but small reason to suppose that the result would not amply ) even if 'indirectly ) repay the outlay. Ilut this is only 'autte-sided view of the question. What would be the loss arising to England from a shortness of the supply ? One week's deficiency would be equal to a national loss of not less than two mil lions sterling ! Our Cotton-mills ,are supplied for five days in the week by American Cotton alone. Already it seems certain that the next crop will be two monthS' work short ! And if matters should grow worse instead of mending in America, as they now threaten to do, what will be the loss in money of three or four months' deficiency ? Dare any than; without shiUldering think_ for a, moinent of the consequences of such a , catastrophe to this country, and especially to the working classes ? It is something frightful to contemplate ! More than that, it is very humi liating to think that England's prosperity shOUId bo so unnecessarily subject to the caprice of . any foreign State. The question then comes to be, Shall we, nationally and individually—for both efforts are requisite .to effect a perfect cure of the evil— hesitate to make some comparatively trifling advances by way of prevention of evil, or shall we Penny-wise-and-pound-foolish -ways, button up our pockets and stolidly await a catastrophe which might plunge us in irretrievable ruin ? As we have already said, we profess 'ourselves neither oracles nor prophets on this subject; but the would call upon our readers of every class— ' entiunereial and non-commercialwho have any stake . in our national welfare, and , any philan thropic interest in the well-being ‘ of the people, to read, study, learn, and inwardly digest the facts so forcibly brought forward by the speakers at the Manchester meetings on this subject, Which have been reported by us yesterday and to-day. ',Next to Manchester, Liverpool is chiefly interested in a prompt, intelligent, and enter prising treatment of this greatest 'of all home commercial questions,—that of .• the- Cotton Supply.

Rake and Putton, leather-dressers, Reckleford, Yeovil, Somerset, early on Monday morning. The powerful engine' built by Mr. Mereweather for the West of England Company, was brought to bear upon the fire, and every effort was made to stay the progress of the ames, both by inhabitants and neighbours, but all the property was destroyed. O ne poor fellow, not known, in his exertions to save some of the property, was knocked down by some part of the roof falling on him. He was taken to the Yeovil Union, but soon died. As to the cause of the calamity nothing certain is hnown. The firm is insured in the West of England Company. THE EXPLOSION AT BROMPTON BARRACKS.—A court of inquiry was held on Tuesday, at, the office of the commanding officer of the Royal Engineer establish ment, at Brompton Barracks, for the purpose of ascer taining thi cause which produced the ; explosion on Monday. Colonel Harness, the director; and Major Lovell, C. 8., have made a careful examination of the building; and the whole of the stores and other pro perty have been removed into the open air. As soon as the court has completed their inquiry, the report is to be forwarded to the Horse Guards. Two of the men who were admitted into hospital, viz., Stephen Elliot and James Mackenzie, they being only slightly injured, were allowed to go out of hospital on Tuesday, the other five remain in. THE BRITISH MUSEI3I.—The Department of Anti quities at the British Museum is to be divided into three sections, which will be placed under the care of Mr. Birch, Mr. Newton, and Mr. Vaux respectively. Mr. Newton's great and successful labours at Halicar nassus and Cnidus are fresh in the recollection of the public, and afford the best guarantee of the advantages that the Museum may expect from his appointment. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, and the Speaker of the House of Commons have exer cised their powers as governors of the Museum with an anxious desire to secure the best men for th&public service, and this infusion of new blood into an old estab lishment cannot fail to be of signal advantage. • Bow and BACON most respectfully announce to t eir cus tomers and the• public generally, that they keep a large and well-selected stock of articles required for Family Mourning; and that all Funeral and Mourning orders are attended to with the greatest care and economy.—Magazin : 81, 83, and 83, Bold-street. -214v.

The North American, which arrived ysterday at Londonderry, brings intelligence from New York dowft to the I.6th instant. The States of Mississippi, Alabama, . and Flo rida, have iilitated the example of secession shown by. South Carolina, and the- batteriees of Charleston have fired into one of the ig; overti . in en t steamers bringing , reinforcements to Fort Sumter& Subsct)ticntly ) however, the excitement • at Char leston had subsided, owing to the reception of pacific news from . Washington,' ;It is said that there is also a majority for secession in the .Lcuisiana Convention. A letter of Garibaldi's to the vigilance tom mittee of Italy would appear to be in contradic tion to the modified language which the ex-Dictator is said to have used when replying to the proposal made to him by General 'NIT on behalf of the Sardinian Government; but its ithportanee is diMinished by a reference to its date,. which is the 13th, behig some daYV,pre vious to general. Turr's visit. Count Cavour appears anxious to come to , a good understanding with the Prussian Govern ment, and he is likely to succeed. The born barbment of Gaeta has been re-commenced, and is being replied to in earnest. • We direct attention to. a highly. interesting letter by the late king of Prussia ) which has been made public since his death,sin which his Majesty, assigns his reason for refusing an offer made to him k 1848 by the Frankfort Assembly. The sentiments contained in this letter no doubt to a great extent animate William I. at the pre sent-mowent. • Several American vcssbls haVe, it is stated, been registettd a this portunder the. British flag, jn order to engage them to carry salt to South Caro lina, and return with cotton, without fear of cap ture. The chemists and druggists of London met yesterday, for the purpose of forming a general united society of the trade: A large portion of the city article in the 760 is devoted to the subject of• the gold remittances to America. It is said that only a very insignificant portion of the £3,000,000 sent to New York has been employed for the purpose of buying bills of exchange. Had the whole sum been so employed we should have had our gold back. It is the tact, however, that the principal mass of the remittance has been for the . purchase of stocks, railway shares, &c., "Which have been bought on terms that have caused a' rise of 20 or 30 per cent. in the New York Market, and unfortunately these, and not our gold, are being poured upon us. While our own share lists show that in many cases their value on this side is 10 or 15 per cent. below the prices given for them,—while we are likely to smart heavily,..Anterica has as yet no cause for com plaint, her largest speculative stocks are about 10 or 15 per cent. higher, and her chief articles Of produce abmit 8 per cent► higher than before the disunion outbreak, while there is an imme diate prospect of her enjoying an abundant supply of capital at a rate about 1 per cent. below that which we have to pay on this side. It would appear that if the secession question could be kept open for agitation about the time of the cotton crop coming forw'ard ) both north and south would profit by it. On orle day after the arrival of the Liverpool steamer the trcins , actions in a single stock in favour with English speculators represented a cash 'total of nearly half a million sterling, in some cases a jump of 2 and 3 per cent. took place between each bargain.

The question falls to be dealt with by men whose time and attention have' been deioted to the trade, and *hose practical e:tpetietiee etititles them to be heard as to the best means of increas ing and rendering more secure an adequate supply of the raw material to meet our vast requirements. But we are easily able to appreciate the great ' importance of the present danger which threatens to impoverish the country by a deficiency of material, and the imperative necessity of instantly taking any steps that may be within our power to supplement the present sources of supply. At the same time, it is of the utmost importance that we should arouse every class of society to see and fully appreciate the immense significance of this question. There is a very large and influential section of the community who have no more apparent connection with Cotton than Cotton has with Congou, who may be apt to overlook the fact that, after all, there is some truth in the Americanism that Cotton is King in England. Those traders must be brought to a sense of the fact that the Cotton Supply Question affects every branch of trade so materially, that our national importance all but depends upon. it ; and that to cripple the supply of that material is to injure every other branch . of industry, to pauperise the mass of the population, and to sap the very foundations of our great commercial prosperity. At present, we depend for about 85 per cent. of our whole supply upon the Southern Slave States of America. Circumstances have occurred which make a certain amount of defi ciency unquestionable, and which are ominous of still greater disturbances that may yet render that deficiency overwhelmingly great. • The frequent bickerings which of late years have tended to shake our confidence in the country which is the great source of this supply have repeatedly been dwelt upon as ,a reason why we should seek to enlarge the area of our Cotton producing fields, so as to avoid the humiliation of being for ever under the obligation of succumbing to the capricious dictates of our American cousin* but still little has been done effectually to remedy the weakness. The present crisis in the United States, however, has shown more forcibly than ever the possible, if not too probable, consequences which may one day, sooner or later, ensue from our continuance in a state of such entire dependence upon one chief source of supply for this essential material of manufacture. It has been made equally manifest, over and over again, that According to a despatch transmitted via Rome General Cialdini, on Monday last, made the follow ing propositions to Francis 11. for the surrender of Gaeta. Tic offered, it is said-Ist, To place at the King's disposal two frigates for the convey ance of himself and family to any place to which they might choose to go; 20, To give six months' pay to the soldiers composing the garrison ; and, tird, To recognise the rank of such of the officers as should be willing to be incorporated with the Sardinian army. The King, however, declined even to entertain these proposals. Another despatch from the same quarter announces that the representatives of Rttsia, Prussia; and Por tugal accredited to the Court o f daeta, have returned to Rome, and that the only Ambassadors now left at Gaeta are .the Nuncio and the Ministers of Austria, Spain, Bavaria, and Saxony, that is to say, the representatives of three Courts which are more or less related to the Neapolitan branch of the Bourbons. A statement is quoted from the Ilocr•acnhalle of Hamburg; to the effect that Prince Metternich has been charged by his government to acquaint the Cabinet of the Tuileries with the measures to which Austria will have recourse ; should the Cabinet of Turin, in the event of an attack on Venetia and Dalmatia, adopt the same attitude as it •did with reference to Garibaldi's expedition against Sicily. What these measures are, it is not difficult to Conjecture; but as it is now gene rally believed that General Turr has succeeded in inducing Garibaldi to defer his designs against Austria for the present, or at all events, to put . himself in the hands of the new Italian Parlia ment, and be regulated by its decision,. and as nobody doubts what the opinion of a majority of the new deputies will be on this question, there is, happily, not much chance of Austria having to carry her warlike intentions against Sardinia into cited: • The Civil Chamber of the Conft of Qassation was occupied, on Friday last, with the ease • of Madame Berton, who sought to have her mar riage with her husband annulled, on the ground that he was, at the time of its celebration, and unknown to her, under sentence of fifteen years. to the galleys, The counsel for the wife had maintained before the Imperial Court that this circumstance amounted to an essential ergot iii the contrast, and affected a ground for a declara tion of nullity ; but the judges, while expressing great sympathy for the unfortunate lady, con firmed the decision of the Inferior Tribunal, and found that the fact relied on did not afford suffi cient ground for annulling the union. The Court of Cassation, yesterday, after a short deliberation, announced that it would postpone its decision till Monday neXt, Paris and the country in the -vicinity is now undergoing the process of a rapid dial*, The labours of the husbandmen, which have been so long interrupted, are now resumed ; and I under stand that notwithstanding the intensity of the frost, which it is to be hoped is completely at an end, no serious agricultural damage has been done. The wheat, which was protected in a great many . places by a deep coating of snow, has not suffered from the frost. Farmers, therefore, have not - much evil to apprehend from this source to their crops, while they have, on the other hand, been delivered from the future depredations of a great variety of noxious insects. According to the Journal of Practical Agriculture, great expecta tions are entertained respecting the favourable character of the coming spring. The improvement at the Bourse continues. Rentes closed yesterday firmly at 67f. 50c. THE LATE KING OF PRUSSIA AND THE FRANKFORT ASSEMI3LY OF 1848. The Prussian journals have published a letter, dated the 3rd of June, 1849, addressed by Ernest Maurice Arndt to King Frederick William IV., to :solicit his acceptance of the crown of the German Empire, and the King's reply, which is dated. the 18th of the same month. We . have translated those portions of his Majesty's reply, in which he assigns 'his reason for refusing the offer. They are as follow You beg me to accept a crown which is OFFERED TO ME. Let us examine, in the first place, who it is that. offers, and then what it is that is offered. * * * The great Assembly which calls itself the "National Assembly," and which is,'to a great extent, composed of the best men in Germany,' has no crown either to give or to offer. It has a constitution to elaborate and to settle, in conjunction with all the etates•of o.orinanY) which are recognised by Europe. Where is the rnlan date which authorises these men to put a king' or an emperor above the lawful authorities to whom they have sworn allegiance ? Where is the council of princes which, according to a custom which dates a thousand years back, elects its king, and proposes him to the people for confirmation ? _ Your Assembly is still opposed to the formation of this council, and to the representation of the German Sovereigns; in the new centre of the nation. This is an enormous mistake, one sees the consequence of it at the present day ; every one is sensible at Frankfort that in spite of so much labour, and so many good and pure intentions, they are labouring to accomplish an. impos sibility. Do you imagine that violent scenes,- violent speeches, and 'tielent resolutions of parliament, will rendenrossiDre that which irimpossible - - But, let it be supposed, my dear Arndt, that such a fault was not committed, or that it can be repaired; that the Council of the Princes and of the people proceeded to au election and offered me the ancient, the veritable, the legitimate old German Crown of a thousand years. It would then be necessary for me to act, to accept, or to refuse; but I would make answer as became a man who is offered the highest honour in the world. But, alas! such is riot the case. Silence alone be comOs mein. presence of the message which threatens me from Frankfort. , I cannot answer, and I Will not answer, ,that I may not give offence to men whom I re gard (as I do yeti, my old friend,) with pride and grati tude ! What will they offer me ? That offspring of the revolutions of 1848- , --is it a Crown ? It do'es not Wear the sign of the' Holy Cioss-At bears not on its brow the seal of " the Grace of God." It is not a Crownl--it is an iron collar, which would reduce to the condition of a slave the descendant of twenty-four Electors and Kings—the Head of sixteen millions of men, and of the bravest and most devoted array in the world. _ . As the price of this jeWel, I should have to forfeit my word, given on the 26th February to the Prussian Diet, " to 'endeatotir, in concert with the National Assembly of Germany, .to Come to an understanding respecting,the Constitution of Germany:" Ilut I will violate neither this promise riorany other. It appears to file, my dear Arndt, that you share with a great iiiany others a seri ous mistake; that all that is to eontend With in the, Reyolutip is only deinagogism and conittinism. volution is the abolition of the divine order, the Contempt and overthrow of right and of justice. It will live, and breathe the breath of death, until the order of thinis is overturned. As long, then, as the German authorities shall have no place in the centre of Frankfort, and shall not sit at the head of the council called to decide the future of Germany so long as that centre shall remain under the surface of .the tetoltitionaty totrenti and shall allow itself to be turned away by it, so long it Will hate nothing to offer which hands that are pure can touch. As a Geri:hart; and as a Prince whose "Yes'' is a "Yes" of value, and *hose "No" is a "No" which merits reflection, I consent to ntitlthig that niight less my magnificent country in estimation, and, make her a subject of detision to our neighbours and to the justice of history—l accept nothing which is not within the strict scope of my natural duties, or which may render their fulfilment difficilt. Dixi ei scilVaro animans nieam. Thi4 letter, my •tild friend, is for you ; You comprehend the necessity of that secresy Which I press upon you to observe. But let my il'ofds find an entrance into . your head as well as into your heart, be perthiaded that I cannot act' otherwise' than I am doing without being unfaithful to myself; and then think the matter over by yourself, converse with your friends, with sensi ble people who have influence, raise your voice in Par liament, and, finally, demand what is still wanting, but what is absolutely necessary—legitimate and reasonable order. GARIBALDI , AND THE VIGILANCE COM MITTEES IN ITALY. General Garibaldi recently addressed the fol lowing important letter to the Central Committee of Vigilance at Turin : Caprera, Jan. 13, 1861. Honourable Committee,-•-Considering the note of the Bth of this month, which has been sent to me by the Central Committee, I suns up my reply in the follow ing manner :—ln accepting the presidency of the Association of the Vigilance Committees, and in giving my adhesion to the three articles drawn up by the General Assembly on the 4th, I appoint General Bixio as my representative on the said com mittee, authorising bins at the same time to substitute for himself, when necessary, some other person possess ing his entire confidence. The Central Committee, in appealing to Italian patriotism, will energetically urge the other committees to call forth fresh donations amongst our fellow-citizens, and to procure all the necessary means of facilitating to Victor Emmanuel the enfranchisement of the rest of Italy. Another of the principal duties of the Central Committee should be to form committees upon all the points of the Peninsula where none now exist, in order that from one extremity of Italy to the other, not excepting Venice and Rome, the association may be organised and act simultaneously, in concert and promptly, obeying one impulse. The Central Committee ought, as the met d'ordre of every day and every instant, unceasingly to repeat to all the committees, and to seek by every means to pene trate every Italian, with the idea that in the spring of this year 1861, Italy must have a million of patriots under arms—a means of making us powerful, masters of our destinies, and worthy of the respect of the world whose eyes are fixed upon us. I believe it right to warn the volunteers that no enrolment is formed or advised by me for the moment. A journal, entitled "Rome and Venice," should be at once established at Genoa. Inspired with the above ideas, it should preach a holy war, and remove the shame which weighs upon Italy. It should also incul cate upon electors, as one of the best means of attaining this object, the choice of deputies who, having as their first thought the enfranchisement and integrity of Italy, shall obtain from the government the arming of the nation. GARIB A LD2. AN ADVENTURE IN CHINA. We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter from a British officer serving with the English expedition in China to a relative in Liverpool, which will be read with interest. It also contains some new facts as to the plunder of the Imperial Palace, and the abominable character of Chinese idolatry : The quantity of loot taken in the Emperor's summer palace is something surprising. I heard a remark made by an officer of some rank that if you had been in there half an hour you might have made your fortune, and that something was to be picked up in five minutes ; but the officers' loot had all to be given up again, and sold by auction for the good of those who were actually present at the capture. I have seen some very valuable things in the hands of officers—old enamelled bronze, watches set in jewels, richly worked silk and crape dresses ; even the men who were there have a good stock of rich dresses, and which they sell pretty cheap, being quite unable to take them away with them. I bought some small pieces of rich embroidery for about 4d, and Gd. each, in England they would be worth from i,3 to £4 a-piece. I packed up also a couple of josses (idols) to add to my collection, which now consist of five. From the descriptions I have heard there must have been in some of the temples some (and not a few) of the most obscene idols, &c., that could well be imagined. I heard many of the private soldiers say that what-they saw was too bad even to make a joke of among them selves ; in fact it was a shame even to speak of such things. I think I must now give you an account of a little adventure I had the other day, which was as follows : We were to start for this place in the afternoon. One day, when wanting some things for the passage, I walked ahead into the town proper and made some purchases, agreeing to meet my boat at a certain point when they passed. I was, however, longer than I expected in my purchases, and missed the boats ' but gave chase till I came to a critical position. Well, it was just dark when I arrived at this awkward place, the work at the ferry had stopped for the night, so there was nothing for it but to go back, or to go through the town to the bridge, and so continue the chase, which latter course I took; but I did not reckon on the diffi culties, for as soon as I got into the town it was quite dark, and after wandering about for some time over a varied number of bridges, I found that I was in the pleasant position of knowing neither the way there or back again, and among folk that sometimes when they catch you alone and unarmed (as I was) take a fancy to your head. However, as few people were about, I got on without being seen much. At last I met a China man alone, and explained to him as well as I could where I wanted to go to, and Jae undertook to show me for the parcel of sugar that I carried; but after leading me a long way he left me laughing, and I not liking my. position thought it best to find a place to lie down in for the night, where I should be out of sight, so having come upon a field that had just got rid of its crop of turnips I Walked into the middle of it, and lay down, thoroughly tired, and, after sleeping with the parcel of sugar for my pillow for about two hours, woke up with a decided sensation of cold all over and stiff as a post ; so thinking a walk the best cure, I set off in hopes of finding some place that I knew, and after various and sundry tumbles down banks, &c., I came upon another Chinaman, who looked respectable, so tried where ho would lead me to, and after about an hour's walk he left me with a French sentry, so thinking that I could not get a safer place, I managed to gain over the assistance of the sentry in making a little kennel out of bundles of millet stalks, where I lay till morning, and got up very cold and very stiff. How ever, as walking is the best cure for the latter complaint, I started on the chase again at once, and finding the people at the ferry at work, had no difficulty in crossing to the right bank (only I had to pay my passage with a handful of sugar as I had not a single coin about me). I walked on till about seven a.m., when I came up with a boat carrying stores for sale in the army : of the owner of this boat I begged some breakfast and a good rest, after which I started again, and in about two hours overtook my own boat, much to my satisfaction; and not without a feeling that I ought to be thankful to Him who preserved me, not only from all actual danger, but also kept me so that I did not suffer from the unusual exposure to the cold. P.S.—I did not mention that on waking in the morning, after looking round a little, I f oun d I h a d come by an unknown road to nearly the place from which I first started the chase. The New York, Liverpool, and Philadelphia Com pany's steamer Vigo, which left the river yesterday, for New York, took £59,000 in speCie on freight. MA DAME SALIN' TON-DOLAY.--;WC have great pleasure in announcing that this charming singer has just added to her family circle a fine boy—mother and child doing well. This happy event took place at eight o'clock yesterday morning, and the news was telegraphed to : Liverpool early in the afternoon. VOLUNTEER COMMISSIONS signed by the Lord-Lieut. of the County Palatine of Lancaster.-4th Lancashire Artillery Volunteer Corps.—Second Lieut. George Sin clair Robinson to be First Lieut., vice Low, promoted; Henry William Moon, gent., to be Second Lieut., vice Robinson, promoted.—Memorandum : Her Majesty has been graciously pleased' to accept the resignation of the commission held by Lieut. Arthur Richard ?hind© in the 10th Lancashire Rifle Yokuntper Corps. • LICENSED VICTUALLERS' BALL. The annual charity ball of the Licensed Victuallers' Association was held last night, at the Town-hall. The liberality and respectability of the licensed victuallers of this town is undoubted; and the unexceptionable man net in which their annual gatherings have hitherto been conducted, has won for them a popularity wkich is not surpassed by those of any other of our local associa tions. We are glad to state that the pre,ttlge acquired in former years was not diminished in the least by the demonstration last night ; that the arrangements were excellent, the attendance numerous and brilliant, and the success unquestionable. Indeed, it could not tell have been otherwise, when honoured by the patronage tind presence of his Worship the Mayor. The ball was in aid of the funds of the Benevolent Institution, and was in every Way worthy of so charitable a purpose. Besides the leading members of the trade, the attendance included a large number of the general public, and a fair sprinkling of volunteers and others of her Majesty's servants, who, it is almost needless to say, attended in uniform. From eight o'clock in the evening, until nearly midnight, fresh relays of visitors continued to arrive, and the festivities were prolonged with unflagging spirit until ". the crowing cock bespoke the growing day." The follow ing gentlemen officiated as stewards :—Thomas Clarke, Esq., Henry Danson, Esq., John Allinson, Esq., James Sykes, Esq., James Thompson, Esq., John Atkinson, Esq., and Richard Lumb, Esq., with the committee, among whom Mr. Coward was especially conspicuous for his attention. In the course of the evening the committee and a few of their friends assembled in one of the ante-rooms, when his Worship the Mayor. in a bumper of champagne, proposed th e h ea lth of t h e chairman, the vice-cairman, and the members of the committee. He congratulated them on the success of the ball, and expressed the great gratification which he felt in having been present. His Worship also paid some well-merited compliments to the association for the prudence and success with which its affairs were administered, and spoke in very warm terms of — the benevolent nature of the objects which the association had succeeded in so largely promoting.—Mr. Condlett, the secretary of the Manchester Association of Licensed Victuallers, then proposed the health of his Worship the Mayor and his lady, a toast which was received with vociferous cheers. His Worship replied, expressing the regret which Mrs. Graves had experienced in not having it in her power to attend the ball, owine , to sickness in the family ; the satisfaction which he felt, as chief magistrate of Liverpool, in being able so thoroughly to sympathise with the efforts of the committee of the association in their laudable efforts to relieve distress, and uphold the respectability of the important body'which they represented. Several other toasts were given and replied to with enthusiasm, when the gentlemen again joined th e d ancers. Mr. Henry Giddens officiated as master of the ceremonies, and per formed his duties to the satisfaction of everyone. The dancers were kept actively engaged by two efficient quadrille bands, under the able superintendence of Mr. Squire Greenwood, which were engaged for the occasion. The programme comprised selections from the most popular modern polkas, quadrilles, mazurkas, and plops. Refreshments of a superior quality were provided by the committee, to whom great praise is due for the very satisfactory manner in which they conducted the enter tainment. - w„~5,,,,, - AMUSEMENTS. MR. AND MRS. HOWARD PAUL'S ENTERTAINMENT. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul had another overflowing and fashionable audience at the Clayton-hill last night, in spite of the numerous and varied attractions elsewhere. The whole entertainment, indeed, passed off. with the utmost eclat. As usual, Mrs. Howard Paul's 'vocal and instrumental performances as Robin Hood excited quite a furore. We have been requested to state that Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul cannot possibly appear at the Clayton-hail after Wednesday aext, as they are engaged at Blackburn and Rochdale on the two following evenings. , , FATHER KEMP'S OLD . FOLKS' CONCERT TAO VPA Hitherto we have •had front 'undid/ iniititz tion negro music—Christy's Minstrels, Buckle-d Serenaders, and such like—till we began to fancy that there was no other music to be heard in the States. We have been suddenly roused from our delusion by the announcement of a . visit from Father Kemp's Old Folks' Concert tthiipe, Cf thirty ladies and gentlemen, with their NeultEngland OrcheStfd," appeared cast night at the St. George's-hall, in costumes aiDitiditnrgci as those of 100 years ago, to execute in "their unititiej peculiar, and popular style, ancient, sacred, and tradi tional dirs." The hall was full and the appearance and perfornianee Were dd "unique and, peculiar,'" that that we can seareell Pidridittiee ‘ en. opinion on filo success this numerous party are likely td rr!%. , :et The voices are, many of them, very good, mid thei , and evidently well drilled and accustomed to sing together j but the music sung is so differently arranged. from any thing we have heard before, that we scarcely recognised our old friends. The Scotch airs are taken touch faster than they are ever heard on this side of the Atlantic. "God Sate the queen'' is considerably modified from intr. Usual acceptation: The "Marseillaise i " given out as "The Marseilles Alrnn," is still more altered from the original j elcept iii the first tett bars we could not trace its identity. How this air ediried iritd the .Collet; iion of Father Kemp's Old Folks of a hundred ydrifitiga we cannot understand, but we would waive the citron& logical objection if we were certain that the innovations are not new and got up for the occasion. Duririg a short interval between some of the performances the whole party marched•or promenaded round the room, to give all the audience an opportunity of close inspection. It is difficult to itnagine how the public will appreciate an exhibition so peculiar and so unlike to our previous importations from the-still United-States. The expense of the under taking, earryitig about so large a body of persons, must be enormous, and it will require large audiences to remunerate the projectors. The sacred element of the prOiTaniMe may attract the Choral Harmonic portion of our musical population, RENGLEWS CIRQUE. ThE cirque, as we anticipated, has been full to over. flowiilg this Week; With first class andiences, to witness the splendid pantcerninie: It will; according to notice s be withdrawn at the close of this week, for the purpose of introducing novelties still more tittralitie—zif poSsitle. The last day performance of this popnlat eritettaitimeni will take place on Saturday, and_ we uncitigtand it cannot be resumed. Having already said so detail, relative to this pantomime, we have now only to add that it lacks nothing of its attractions—but rather increases. We must also remind our readers that the other representations are as ample and varied as if theta was no pantomime to accompany them. We may fairly say, judging from the manner and excellence in which Mr. Hengler produces popular entertainments, that the next will be as welcome to the public as all that have preceded it. THE COURT. WINDSOR CASTLE, /All. 22. The Royal dinner party, yesterday, included the Princess Alice, Prince Philip of Wurtemburg, the Hon. Mrs. Grey, and Major General and Lady Emily Sey mour. The band of the Scots Fusilier Guards played during dinner. Her Majesty's private band performed afterwards in the drawing-room. The Queen, attended by Lady Macdonald, walked in the grounds of the Castle this morning. • His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, with Prince Arthur, skated in the Home Park, attended by ,the gentlemen-in-Waiting. The younger members of the Royal Family were present. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Bent visited her Majesty, and took luncheon. Lord Rivers mid Captain Sir W. Host& R.N.,.have succeeded Lord Carnoys and Lieut.-Colonel Kingscote as Lord and Groom in Waiting. SOUTH WILTS ELECTION. It is now definitively settled that there will be a con test for the 'vacant seat in. South Wilts, caused by the elevation of the lion. Sidney Herbert to the peerage. Mr. Grove, the pseudo-Liberal candidate, will not be allowed to walk over the course unopposed, Captain Bathurst, son of Sir Frederick Bathurst, of Clarendon Park, having formally announced himself as a candidate in. the Conservative interest. A meeting of the landed and other gentry, and of a great number of the influen tial and wealthy farmers of the district, was held at the White Hart, Salisbury, on Tuesday at noon, when resolutions were passed, pledging themselves to' support the gallant captain, and expressive of a determination to carry the election free of expense to the candidate. Upwards of £2,000 were subscribed in the room. After the meeting Captain Bathurst made his appear ance in the Corn Market, and was warmly greeted. The promises of support voluntarily tendered were most flattering, and there is little or no doubt of a successful issue. Mr. Grove was also in the market, personally soliciting the votes of the freeholders. Captain Bathurst has issued a manly and straightfor ward address. CHINA AND THE CHINESE. —The Rev, C. W. Lawrence entertained a large audience at St: Luke's Schools, Cropper-street, last night, on a subject of peculiar interest at the present time—" China and the Chinese." The lecture was illustrated by large coloured diagrams. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.-At the weekly meeting of this board, held yesterday, Mr. Pilling preside 4 ; there were also present Messrs. Smith, Shaw, Bolshaw, Wareham. Woods, Medcalfe, Garratt, H. Edwards, Abrahams, and Jeffries. The number in the house last, week was 454 ; admitted since, 27 ; discharged, 26 dead, 3 ; this week, 452; corresponding week last year, 299. The following cheques were g ranted for out-door relief Mr. Potts, £128; Mr. Roberton, £39; Mr.. Lingham. £24. A letter which was read from the Poor law Board, acknowledged the receipt of a letter dated the llth inst., from the guardians, stating that they saw no objection to the appointment of Thomas Prophet as cook and general assistant in the workhouse and hos pital ; that they approved of the payment of ss. per week,. and that they consented to his receiving of the rations of the house. Another letter which was read from the Poor-law Board, stated that with reference- to the guardians' proposal to close the hospital for thi sick poor, the board saw no reason to alter the opinion previously expressed as to the inexpediency of closing the hospital until proper accommodation had been found elsewhere for all classes of sick persons for whom the hospital was intended. There was no business of any importance. GREAT MALVERN.-Dr. Stummes having just left Dr. Wilson's Hydropathie Establishment, where he has been resident phy sician since 1848; is continuing the hydropathie practice at his private residence, Abbey Villa, Malvern, until his new eStablishnient is completed.
