THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER his twenty years of political life, was the greater part of that time a professing Conservative ; and now, with ultra-Radicals for colleagues in office, he forms part of a pageant in which the Manchester Radicals—who had even ventured to talk of the assassination of Sir ROBERT PEEL as an act which might be justified—erect a statue to his memory, the sole cause of their laudation being the grossest act of political treachery of which any Minister was ever guilty. Mr. GLADSTONE might, with great propriety, hold in • respect the memory of his political Mentor, but it was an'utter obliviousness of good taste, or a total recklessness of his own character, which induced him to join in such a celebration as that on Wednesday last. His Con servative professions must have been thrown to the winds, and therefore we are compelled to accept the latter alternative, that he who was once the hope of the great Conservative party, having taken the first false step, is determined to be consistent only in error. It may suit the shallow intellects of manufacturing politicians to repeat the balder dash with which their idol sought to justify his perfidy, by talking of the poor man eating his loaf unembittered by the sense of injustice; but Mr. GLADSTONE has sense enough to perceive its thorough absurdity, and therefore has less excuse for not only joining in the treachery which con summated Free-trade, but also in contributing to the posthumous reward which Manchester paid to its lately-adopted idol. He has evidently forfeited his own esteem ; and, conscious that his former position as a Conservative is gone for ever, as will be his seat for Oxford University on the next opportunity, he is making to himself friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness, and preparing for a rivalry in popular favour with Messrs. COBDEN, BRIGHT, and others of that clique. To such a decay of his once clear intellect can we alone at ' tribute the fulsome laudation of the policy of the present Ministry with which he garnished his speech to his new friends. His allusions to the state of the Revenue were a covert eulogy on The policy with which he has identified himself; 'but in reality the evidence is worthless, unless he can prove that the gold discoveries in California and Australia, with their results of emigration, in creased. exports, and augmented wages, were pro duced by Free-trade. There was, however,n slight draWback to the picture of prosperity 'which he was 'so anxious to clisplay, and he was 'compelled; - with that show of candour which served his poli tical master on so many occasions, to acknowledge ' that the cheap bread, which was the , especial object 'of the Free-traders, was not obtainable at present. The price of grain, he admitted, was very high, but 'then there were no complaints. ; -so that, according 'to this showing, it is merely a question of feeling whether the consumers please to 'be content with high prices, when they cannot see a way to help themselves. It is gratifYingto know that there is so much pulific virtue -as not to complain of the loss of cheap bread=; but - Ave much question its permanence when a cessation of the late exorbitant demands forlabourAall have dimmed the sunny side , of the picture. THE believers, or 'pretenders to a belief, in the dream of universal peace, have been magnifying their own wisdom by a demonstration in the good old city of Edinburgh ; their adopted idol being the man of unadorned eloquence, whom Manchester and the West Riding 'of - Yorkshire delight to. honour. There is something absurdly ridiculous in the way lin which these - little men indulge in dreamy landations about 'the blessings of peace and the horrors of war, as - though all the rest• of the world were of the most=canguinary dispositions, eagerly seeking for oppottantities to rush into hos tilities with each Other. Our safety was threatened . by the dished state .Oft - fhe Continent and 'the evident preparations for :war of a neighbouring potentate, Nilo' had violated - the most solemn oaths in order to :reach his present elevation, and .yet England, is "Christian - meekness, after the true fashion of these solemn • pretenders to piety, was to propitiate - the mercy of reckless invaders by dismantling her fleets mididisbanding her armies. As the richeiit 'nation 'in the world, we presented the strongest • temptations tto aggression, if our means of defence were wanting. ; and yet, with our Bibles in one Aaand , arid cilieDes in the other, we were to quietly -.rely for ear security upon the effect which our good exairiple would have - upon our enemies. likuchargumeuts are too prepostenaus for serious refutation, and ye hey form the fustian with which the leaders of `the Peace Conference seek to beguile their dupes. They tell us that the' maintenance of fleets and arM.l O3 involves a serious charge upon the *industry of peace f u l men, as though mep ina rich old country could be peaceful . and industrious, 'Without fleets:and armies, so long .tas the world contriins other men, actuated by the Impulse Of human passions inst ea d of guided by (Christian precepts. Weans of defence are neces - %wily expensive. Ittlner's patent robber -defying :safes cost money, and,so do loft lholts, and bars, • policemen, magistrates, judges, ptisons, and all the • other accessories for the puniShmentof crime ; but 'they are not the less indispensable,.to long as the peaceful men have something worth protecting , and :ethers will deprive Ahem : of 'it if they can. When Messrs. COBDEN, /3EIGHT, and CO., trust their ;own valuables to the security,of the public 'honesty, we may have some faithiirtlieir dogmas about•national defences, but they have never yet attempted to put their professions Into practice in -the slightest degree. It was a sad waste of the .public money to employ soldiersto defend-the Cape Colony •agifinst the aggressions .of the Kaffirs, when Mr. 13rIGHT could have managed the affair so much.cheaper, and more effectually, with:a sup ply of ,ealico. it is worse than aboard to urge on the Government to send a British fleet for the defence of Turkey, when Mr. COBDEN can erun!FEe the Emperor of Russia like a piece of paper. The standing demand of these peace-mongers is for , international arbitration, as though every one else were oblivious of the fact that for nearly forty years almost all disputes between civilised nations have been settled - by negotiation. Such is the case now in the great Turkish question ; but it is equally clear that negotiation would be of very little avail, if the high contracting parties had not fleets and armies with which to strengthen their argunients and enforce their directions. It is the intelligible argument of the strong arm which has the greatest weight in all such negotiations, and so long as it is wielded by England in the cause of justice, the greatest pos s ibl e security is afforded for the maintenance of peace. NVE published last week, in our Second Edition, the state of the National Revenue, as made up to the 10th of October, and which, no doubt, on the first survey of the totals, presents a satisfactory evidence of the elasticity of the public resources. A consideration, however, of the items, and the probable causes of the apparent increase, will tend somewhat to qualify the note of triumph with which it has been ushered into notice by those who still cling to their belief in Free-trade policy. It will be observed that by far the largest item of increase on the Account, both for the year and e the quarter, is the Repayment of Advances, amounting on the year to £618,008, and on the quarter to £207,212, while the it em o f I mpres t a nd other Money adds £133,880 t o th e year ' s account. These are not source s o f R evenue , although brought into the Account as being receipts into the Exchequer ) but if the statement be confined Tontmm.

If. therefore, you do me she honour again to elect me, I shailireturn to my duties with an increased determination to persevere in that course which has hitherto mitt with your approbation, and which has appeared to me most conducive to your welfare and the prosperity of the towa. I am, Gentlemen. Your obedient and faithful Servant. It. C. GARDNER. Newsham-house, 12th October, 1€53. TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTOItS 051' WEST DERBY.WARQ. GENTLEMEN,—i have deemed it my duty to accede to s. pressing request, made to me by a large and influential por tion of your body, that I would allow myself to be pat in nomination as a CANDIDATE at the ensuibg Election for the distinguished honour of representing you in the TOWN COUNCIL. There being no question involving much difference of opinion occupying the attention of the town at present, I do not feel called upon to enter at any length into local affairs. I may, mention, however, that with regard to the contem plated TOWN IMPROVEMENTS, I shall assist in carrying them out as extensively as possible, consistently with a due regard to economy in the expenditure of the public funds, which in every other respect shall have my best attention. On other matters, I shall be happy to explain my sentiments when I have the pleasure of meeting you. I have only further to say, that if you do me the honour to accept of my humble services I shall endeavour to perform my duty to the Ward and to t hel Town generally to the best of my abilities. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen Your most obedient, humble Servant, FRANCIS A. CLINT. 2, Beech-terrace, Edge-lane, October I s, 1853. TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF VAUXHALL WARD. GENTLEMEN, — The term for which you elected me as one of your Representatives will shortly expire. A Deputation of Gentlemen Electors of your Ward having waited upon me, and presented a Requisition, numerously and respectably signed by parties of all shades of opinion, I have no hesitation in tendering my best exertions for your acceptance. I feel less difficulty in now coming forward as a Candidate, for, since I have had the honour to represent you, I have the satisfaction to know my conduct in the Council has met with the uniform approbation of the Ward. Three years ago you elected me on two distinct principles, which, I need hardly say, were quite in accordance with my own, namely, the entire absence of politics in local affairs, and strict economy in the management of the Corporate Purse, with a due regarl to the good old town's various re quirements and upholding her interests. I think it will be found I have kept these principles con stantly in view; and I believe there is not an elector who will say that I forgot the interests of the Ward in support of any party, political or religious, in the Council. I have uniformly voted against the increase of official salaries when I have considered them well paid ; and, whenever public money was to be expended. I have looked carefully how it was to be most beneficially and economically spent, having a deep sympathy for the difficulties and privations local taxation entail on the industria.us ratepayers. Having, from my youngest days, had my interest bound up in the prosperity of your Ward, it is apparent that what is injurious to you must be so to me, and that we must be equally benefited by its improvement. Finally, the principles on which you first elected me are unchanged. If you should again do me that honour, I hope that the experience I have had in the Council duties will en able me more efficiently to dp justice to the trust reposed in me. I remain, Gentlemen, your faithful servant, WILLIAM NICHOLSON. /haw -street, 4th October, 1833.

This made eleven days difference in calculations, which was increased to - twelve in i the year 1800, when•there was no 29th of February; .and this accounts for the difference of twelve days between our dates and those of 'Russia, where the old 'style is still observed.

GLADSTONE, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, has been lionising at Manchester. The citizens met to do honour to the late Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Mr. GLADSTONE was present to join in the ovation to his former chief, the guide of his political life, and the man whose principles he professes to have adopted as his own. There is something dangerous in perversion of principles, from the enthusiasm with which those who have deserted the right path rush into the opposite extreme. Mr. NEWMAN journeyed from Oxford to Rome, and is now a more ardent believer in the most absurd figments and fabricated miracles, than those who have been Romanists all their lives. Mr. MILNEB GIBSON, from being an over-zealous Conservative, has turned a rabid Radical, and a fit associate of the violent party to which he has ailed hinigeif, Mr. (+Lanus, who boasts of i ., ~i '. • 14 . 4c),* ~ .' = . -'-' o.,vt, i t, • is,' . : - , :1" s,. _ A .. te' ,• • of N 1 ,- .- '.%, '. 2 ) :'''• -7 '.... .1:. t i -- 0- , ..‘: 7,-..v_-,,,,,0. , !CI , .1 1 1 71 .4 ; •;., '. r .""rs - ;-:;, ~ ''.. ' • .4i*liit4 i:k to actual Revenue, it will be found that the in crease on the year is only £1,559,864, and on the quarter only £226,754, instead of £2,311,752 and £417,727, as shown by the statement. The Cus toms and Excise have usually been considered as the safest test of the consuming - powers of the population, particularly the latter item ; but, though reductions have been made in both by the diminution of the Tea Duty and the abolition of the duty on Soap, the immense impetus which has been given to all branches of industrial activity might reasonably have been expected to add con siderably to these sources of Revenue, particularly as the recent hill in business did not occur till nearly the termination of the quarter. It will be found that the increase on the Quarter's Customs was only £120,667, and that on the Excise the still smaller proportion of only £5,474. Under the head of Stamps will be found the comparatively large increase of £98,742, arising from the enor mous issue of the new Penny Receipt Stamps just before the close of the quarter, to the number, it is said, of upwards of six millions. Taxes,. on the other hand, show a decrease of £29,996, and the Post-office a decrease of £25,000, as though cor respondence had begun to diminish. Upon the whole, therefore, there is no great cause for ex ultation, though none for despondency, and the Ministers are quite welcome to make the most they can of their financial policy, of which the leading features were a re-imposition of the In come-tax, and an additional burden on the holders of real property. The Surplus on the year, ended sth of July last, has been declared to be £3,568,624 16s. sa., of which a fourth part, or £892,156 4s. 2d., is ap plicable to the reduction of the National Debt. It is believed, however, that instead of applying it to the purchase of Stock, which has been the usual course, and would now operate favourably on the Money Market, the CHANCELLOR of the EiCHE QUER intends to devote it to the redemption of South Sea Stock, which he will shortly be called upon to effect. THERE are persons so utterly impracticable to deal with, that it is almost a matter of impossibility to do them good, and this character seems largely to prevail among the operatives of the manufac turing districts. The whole tendency of modern policy has been to improve the condition of this class, but with what success 'their present state will in some degree serve to show. Free-trade was adopted in order to give them -cheap bread, and yet it is now dearer than the average during the whole time that 'the sliding scale was the law of the land ; but for 'this result they have, of course, more to thank their leaders than `themselves, as the only part they took was to join in the clamour by which the candid minister who betrayed his party was converted. Emigration 'has relieved them from the competition by which the wages of their labour was 'kept below the standard which they considered remunerative. The gold discoveries have given such an impetus to trade, that every man's services have been in demand,4t :a price beyond their most sanguine anticipations. Reductions of duties and repeal of taxes have placed them in a more favour .able position than ever 'they had a fair right to expect—and yet now, when they might be enjoying All 'the good things which have been so lavishly provided for them, they turn round with sullen perverseness and refusezto work at all, unless at such wages as would render their work unprofitable. It is, however, fortunate, not only for the masters but:eventually for themselves, that the men have delayed their strike until a time when they are the principal if not the only sufferers. Thousands have turned, out for increase •of wages ; and now, when they ,find that a lull in business has destroyed the chance of their intimidation proving successful, they would gladly retrace the false step they have ztaken. But the , mischief has been done, the , mills have been dosed, and the masters having no particular demand for their manufae tures,:refase to receive them even at the same rate of wages, unless they give up the trades' unions and combinations by which all the mischief has originated. They have made a rod for their own backs, and it is to be hoped - that the firmness of the masters,will serve to convince the men of the folly of their conduct, and prove-,to them a useful lesson for the. future. This disposition to strike for wages is one so pregnant with mischief, that it cannot be too severely condemned, and not the least evil is that the innocent too often suffer for the guilty+ while the many are the dupes of a few designing men, who batten on the miseries of their fellow creatures. The.strilae among the colliery men at Wigan and other places .has now continued some weeks, the effect beings, greatly-enhanced:price of coals and an increased demand for the produce of the Welsh collieries. Tivse, however, are !minor evils, com pared with-the of submitting to , ,auch attempts t at intimidation, •*Nth, if successful; would lead to still farther impositions, until intelligence and capital would be at the, command of labour, and ignorance. MiOTHER week has elapsed, and %yet the settle ment,of the •Turkish affair seems as iv distant as ever. Indeed ,its : progress towards .ta settlement appears to , be. of ,a , tetrograde charaeter; for some time Since we Avereinformed that the:allied fleets had been ordered urieo Constantinople, mid now we are toldlthat they , have not stirred out.of Besika Bay. true-that we have intelligenqe of the SULTAN .of 'Turkey .hating signed a declaration of war, whieli :might in itself be considered the pre lude to active hostilities : ; but it is pretty clear that the document has been executed for the purpose of silencing the nlamours of 'the Turkish war party, and it may be to have ,a .similar influence in this I country. It is now said that the Russian General , commanding in the Danubian provinces is to be allowed so many days, with .a notice that if he does not commence to leave ;at:that period, the Turks will proceed to try the effect ,of Mohammedan valour. The delay, however, \will give time for negotiation, and the opinion is gaining ground that •the tong-desired settlement of the ,impute will be arrived at, without giving the Turkish levies an .opportunity of fleshing -their swords, or rather scymitars. This opinion is in a great measure con firmed by the evidently pacific disposition of the C ZAR o f Russia, who, notwithstanding his strong desire to retain possession of the provinces, has no intention to gratify his ambition by fighting for it. The modern policy of Europe is diplomacy, And upon his skill in this ingenious art the astute Russian Minister, Count NESSELRODE, has relied for the accomplishment of his scheme. He must, however, be content to submit to defeat, as Turkish obstinacy will hazard the loss of the Empire, which must be the result of actual hostilities, rather than surrender these provinces in the Danube, which European good sense will insist upon the restitution of, as the only alternative for the maintenance of peace. The length of time which has been occupied in negotiations appears to have destroyed all confidence in the many promises of a speedy termination to the uncertainty which prevails, and which has tended to paralyze com mercial operations. A definite period has, how ever, now been fixed, which will expire on Monday next ; and it is to be hoped that the interval will be wisely employed in the preparation of a note, couched in language sufficiently intelligibl e no t t o be open to Misconstruction. The part which England has, or ought to have, , occupied in this affair seems to have been a source of considerable disquietude to our Coalition Minis try, and if we may judge by the -frequency of protracted sittings of recent Cabinet Councils, there is very little of that unity which was said to prevail among " all the Talents." The HOUR SECRETARY fancies himself to be the possessor of all the knowledge on foreign affairs, and by no means agrees with his chief, who is in a minority in his own cabinet ; so that the doubt and delay which have so long prevailed need excite no sur prise. In the mean time, the continental tele graphs appear to have been at the command of the stock-jobbers, and, favoured by the secrecy of official reserve, they have been enabled so to vary the reports as to produce those fluctuations of which the concoctors know so well how to take advantage. This uncertainty, so injurious to trade, has given rise to a demand for an imme diate summons of Parliament, in order that Ministers may be constitutionally called upon for authentic information, instead of the country hav ing to depend upon presumed ministerial organs, which the Government may repudiate or adopt ac cording as it suits their purpose. We have no pretensions to any knowledge of what takes place at a cabinet council, each member of which is sworn to secrecy, but it is currently believed that the question of summoning Parliament formed an important item in the recent lengthened dis cussions. The latest telegraphic despatches state that the allied fleets have at length left Besika Bay, and on the 6th were seen entering the Dardanelles. This may be true, but after recent experience all tele graphic reports from the East require confirmation. The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle states that the Turks intend merely to commence the war pro forma, and then to adjourn further hos tilities until the spring, so that in the meantime the quarrel may be settled by mediation. This is not unlikely, particularly as another despatch states that the Turkish army is not to cross the Danube, a very prudent precaution under the circumstances. THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL. No. 11. WE resume our consideration of the subject which we commenced last week, by referring to another point deserv ing of attentive consideration, which must shortly assume a more prominent position. By the peculiar situation of Liverpool on the east bank of the Mersey, she is virtually excluded from the immense amount of business which might be done with the large and busy population to the South and West. Her great source of traffic has been the supply of the enormous industrial population of Lancashire, and other parts of the North of England. This has been in a great measure stimulated by the facili ties of railway communication, notwithstanding the diffi culties of access to the several lines—to the immense demand for the raw materials for manufactures imported into Liverpool from foreign countries, and also to the enormous amount of British produce and manufactures exported by vessels leaving this port. The other side of the Mersey, however, possesses much greater facilities for communication with the interior, while the population of the principality of Wales and the south-west counties of England must prove a source of trade, the extent of which it is impossible to calculate. It must now be generally admitted that the rapidly augmented trade of Liverpool has found ample employ ment for all the Dock accommodation, greatly as that has been extended, and it is at the same time equally true that all practicable means of further extension have been exhausted, so that the alternative which remains is for the trade of the port to be confined within its present limits or for the means of extension to be sought from far dif ferent sources than . those which have hitherto been, adopted. The idea which would first strike every person, inde pendent of local prejudices, would be to render the Mersey available on both its banks ; and this would no doubt have been the case years since, but for the unreasonable notion entertained by many of the people of Liverpool,— that any promotion of dock accommodation on the oppo site side of the estuary would tend to injure the trade of their town. The .practical adoption of this idea has vir tually operated to deprive them of many natural advan• tages on the Cheshire shore, and actually to induce the construction of dock-works at very great cost, owing to the high price of land, the necessity of removing build ings, and the expense of excavation and erection of walls. On the Cheshire shore, such advantages were to be ob tained at comparatively little cost, as docks had almost been formed by nature, and only required being made applicable to the purposes of commerce. Indeed, so pre eminent were the advantages presented, that Mr. TEL FORD, one of the most eminent marine engineers, when looking from Bidston Hill over Wallasey Pool, at high water, exclaimed, " Liverpool was built on the wrong side of the Mersey." It can hardly be believed that the feeling which formerly prevailed in Liverpool of the prosperity of Efirkenhead being an antagonist interest can now exist The growing intelligence of the age must utterly have exploded a fallacy so suicidal in its results. As well might the citizens of London 'who have the ample space of the London docks, the East and West India Docks, with their vast :basinfi and wide quay room, in addition' to the St. Katharine Docks and the legal quays—complain of the trade ,of Southwark and the great business on the Surrey shore. So far, indeed, from entertaining such an idea, nearly all the vast timber trade of the metropolis is con ducted on - the Surrey side of the Thames, where, from the facilities afforded by the Commercial Docks at Bother 'lithe, it is carried on with far more advantage than could be dOne in the more costly localities on the London side. Such is about the ease on the Mersey, the west bank of which presents more available accommodation for such bulky goods as timber, not only in quay space, which is indispensable, but also in access to cheap transit into the interior by railways, which in Birkenhead are carried alongside the vessels discharging their cargoes. It has been supposed that an extension of population on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, by the transfer of a portion of the shipping trade in that direction, would operate injuriously to the ratepayei% of Liverpool, by diminishing the number, and thereby increasing the burden on those who remain. If it were possible to secure the residence in the town of every one who has an interest in the trade of the port, such a position might be tenable; but it is not so. As the town becomes densely populated by those whom necessity compels to remain, confinement becomes irksome to those who have the means to accommodate themselves better, and the thousands who daily cross the Mersey by the ferry-boats, or use the omnibusses to and from the suburbs, show that the exten sion of population is in la . ..glides where they contribute ,nothing to the rates of Liverpool. Such migration will 011 go on, whatever may be the improvements within the town, so long as men prefer a glimpse of nature to tall lows and paved streets ; and therefore a persistence in confining the growing business within its present incon venieixt limits will but injure trade without securing the contemplated advantages. Another objection to cross the water has been the equally untenable position of its militating against the interests of the shopkeepers of Liverpool, by withdrawing their customers from them. Should this be the efrect s of occu pying both sides of the Mersey, it is one for which no remedy will be found in attempting to confine the trade to one side, but rather induce the raising of a rival interest, which might better have been a union of interests. But so far from the tradesmen of Liverpool being injured by the peopling of Birkenhead and the adjacent townships, the reverse is rather the ease. Some of them have establishments on the other side, and vast numbers of the Cheshire population deal with tradesmen on this side, while most of the shops aresuvpliedfrot measure sal e n i e de s n o t nr ica ce l: The i r i n t er ests, therefore, are in a great and it would be difficult to show that the renderin g available to Liverpool commerce the very great natural advantages to be found on the Cheshire shore would operate in any way •to the injury of the retail trade of Liverpool, while the probabilities are that the effect would be exactly the reverse. Apart from the more important question of commercial operations, the population of Birkenhead and the neigh bourhood is being considerably extended from local causes, which must continue to augment it the more its ad vantages become known. The streets are wide and straight, the houses are well built, the sewerage is good, the supplies of water and gas are ample, and now that the steam-boats run so continuously, punctually, and rapidly, for so small a charge, it is virtually placed nearer to Li verpool than if the intervening Mersey were spanned by a bridge. With its picturesque park, second to none in England, the neighbouring heights of Bidston, from which tui uninterrupted view can be obtained of the coast from i.: .. Lancashire to the mountains of Wales, and its many de lightful rides and walks in almost every direction, it pre-T -sents advantages, to those whose occupations are in Liverpool, which render it one of the most attractive suburbs of the busy town. Commerce will, therefore, but accompany the march of population in taking the same-. direction, until The Liverpool of the future, like the Lon don of the present, will occupy both sides of the mighty stream on which she stands. By far the most important feature, however, of the Cheshire landscape, in a commercial point of view, is the vast expanse of water, the dock half formed by n a t ure known as Wallasey Pool, of which we subjoin the descrip— tion given by the celebrated Mr. TELFORD in his report), dated May, 1828, and which also bears the signatures of ROBERT STEPHENSON and ALEXANDER NIMIIO : " Wallasey Creek runs for nearly two miles from the Mersey, where it is stopped by an embankment, through which the waters of 3,000 acres of marsh land pass by a tunnel. The pool, below the embankment, covers 340 acres at spring tides, and by its breakwater maintains a channel through the creek, down to low-water springs, and with.seventeen feet at high-water (springs) as far up as the embankment. On the south side of the creek, be - tween Woodside Ferry and Bridge-end, there is a bottom of sandstone rock, but this ceases at Bridge-end Creek, and above that place the shore is composed of firm clay, fit for brickmaking, to a depth at least of thirty feet, in which the necessary excavations for docks and ba-cins could be carried on with great-facility." This, though the most important, is, however, but one of the many natural advantages of the Cheshire shore for purposes of commerce. We shall proceed in our next to describe what has been done to render these advantages available ; and follow •up these observations by showing what remains to be done, and the course most advisable under the circumstances. • MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. THE THEATRE ROYAL during the past week has afforded a rare, as - well as a high treat to the lovers of dramatic music, its boards having been occupied by a distinguished English Operatic Company, who have performed in ,suc cession Balfe's opera of the "Bohemian girl,' . ' Bellini s " Somnambula," Wallace's "Maritana," Rossisa's " Bar abeciewof a S pe ev ra ill b e y ," m al n id ri A tz nA l er ia 's m, "r h i e -a li D bi la vt r t o o l. , b c ia b g es fr icLes the pen of Mr. Buckstone. The vocal corps consisted of Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Fyne, and Messrs. Boranni, H. Horncastle, and W. Harrison ; th e orc h es t ra having, for the time being, been placed under the leadership of Mr. E. F. Fitzwilliam. As an operatic performance, even by good principals, without the aid of an efficient . orchestra, and a good chorus, would necessarily be a very imperfect production, we are glad to record that both of those ele ments of successful performance were in a highly credit. able state of efficiency. In the overtures, generally speaking, the orchestral effects were well managed, some of them, indeed, deserving high praise. The reed and pipe instruments exhibited great sweetness, and the brass instruments taking their cues with readi ness filled up and ably supported th e v i o li ns. As a leader, or rather conductor, Mr. Fitzwilliam displayed considerable tact, and but for his over -partiality to the - inapposite notes of " the woodpecker tapping," which, with his switchy baton, he performed with remorseless pertinacity,—his unnecessary flourishes with his left hand, and the general grotesqueness of his gesticulation,—would have cut a very respectable figure. Of the operas named, probably the first mentioned was that most suited to the powers of the company, and .it was admirably gone through. Indeed, with the exception of " Fra Diavolo," which was obviously beyond the resources of the company, all the operas were well performed, and beautifully put upon the stage. Of Miss Louisa Pyne, as a vocalist, it is hardly necessary to speak. Her fame is extensive, and she has earned it. To an organ, of great beauty, and no - inconsiderable compass, as well as power, she adds a pleasing expressiveness ; and in the " Bohemian girl" her style of singing and acting was appropriate and winning, many of her solos being sung with charming simplicity, andgood taste. In the b eau tif u l a i r " I dreamt that- I the be 11 etones ofsentiment, va in ica m i a m r p b a le rted halls ex , q " uia th i e te cl ex ear pr , ea s a il io v n en to , , he i n dwelt and gave full effect to the floating and falling melody which streamed in melting cadence from her lips ; but in no instance were her natural and acquired talents shown to greater advantage, .than in her portion of the trio and this chorus, charmingand light of heart b e th ou. " Th e piece was delightfully givenrwhile part was a complete gem of art and a t r i ump h of expression. She the soprano e of was also very happy in Rossini's spark ling aria, "An old man would be wooing." Her render. ing of Auber's delightful melody, "'Tis to-morrow," was in every respect admirable. The full gush and abandon of delighted anticipation were given with a purity and beauty which it is difficult to find words to characterise. As an acting vocalist, Mr. Harrison stands deservedly in good repute ; to a portly and commanding figure he adds expressive features, and no small grace of action. His voice, though not of the first order, has many excellent qualities ,• his training has manifestly been careful, and in general, his taste may be allowed excellent; when bring ing himself up for an effort he displays capital execution, and renders the music at once expressive and captivating. In Ralfe's stirring song, " When the fair land of Poland," his singing was exceedingly effective ; throwing his whole energies into the music and the words,he rendered bothwith thrilling effect, completely captivating the audience. In this piece he was rapturously encored—a matter calculated to excite no wonder, considering the great beauty of the song and the dazzling style in which it was sung. His sing ' ing of " You'll remember me," in the - seine' opera, was likewise admirably correct. The Count 4rnheinz of Mr. Borrani, in the " Bohemian Girl," was stiff as a histrionic performance ; but his singing rendered that defect less important, as well as less obvious. Several of his solos were given with much delicacy and expression, in parti cular down," calls for high commendation, and richly deserved the hearty applauSe it drew from the audience. His Figar was a better piece of acting ;it w as li ve l y, and he , simg the spirited airs of Rossini con amore, and in good taste. As a comic actor and singer, Mr. H. Horncastle is entitled to great praise; as the former he is easy, spirited, and pleas ing; as the latter; he is effective, 'and displays good cul ture, added to natural qualifications of a high order. As Deviishoof, in the " Bohemian both his acting and singing were excellent, and hit efforts added greatly to the successful character of the performance. Of Miss Fyne we saw but little, and that little was pleasing. We cannot in justice close these very imperfect and hasty remarks upon the operatic treat we have received, without a word of commendation on those who, though . their names make no figure in the bills of announcement, nevertheless con— tribute in a light degree to the success of the performances • We mean the ladies and gentlemen who formed the chorus, and the gentlemen of the orchestra. The former ac quitted themselves with judgment and in good taste ; the latter in an artistic and highly pleasing manner, while individually some of them deserved much praise. In , particular we were much delighted with the violin solo, - introductory to the third act of the " Bohemian Gi r l ;"' and in the same opera we were also greatly pleased with the clarionet oblignto to Borrani's song, " The heart bowed down ;" it was performed w ith tenderness and beautiful expression. As a whole, the ope ras were eminently suc. cessful ; the audiences, though not so l arge as could have been wished or might have been expected, were, never-- theless, good • and in their delighted countenances was to be read the best commentary on the style' of the perform_ antes. On Wednesday this theatre- will re-open, when Mr. B. Baker, a highly deserving actor, takes his benefit. On that occasion Charles Matthews, the prince of come. dians, will make his appearance in two of his favourite characters,—a compliment highly creditable to Mr. Baker, iaw s a n s c e u s e AMPHITHEATRE a t o r c a b 3 i t at crowded Madame a e r aC e ued soeoteneWea and ThAe T a ist u ld e ßy v E, e s nt ßpe t o t r t foAL ic r l: Mr. Webster have been performing to good audiences. — known in Liverpool to adthit of description or requir e commendation.
