Cortedpottlletter. THE - PRESIDENTS MESSAGE: TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, Slll,—Permit me to congratulate you for the energy displayed by your establishment in furnish ing (exclusively) the public; in your paper, of yes terday, . with four columns and a half of—that always important and interesting document—the American President's message. That fact, in my mind, settles the problem of the practicability of establishing a daily newspaper to meet the wants, social, commercial, and political, of this great community. - The Canada arrives at midnight, Sunday; the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES of Monday, is placed on my breakfast table at seven o'clock, containing this so-much-looked-for document, together with a very creditable summary of general intelligence. Now, . your respectable and intelligent contemporary, the Albion, had but half a column or so of condensed news, under the head "Second Edition." I have no doubt that everything which a first-class .weekly paper was capable of accomplishing was done on this occasion by the Albion; and it is, therefore, plain to me that a daily Viper, spiritedly-conducted like yours, is of great local advantage to this town, especially to the mercantile clasSes, seeing that on this occasion you furnished them with intelligence in detail of high interest and great iinportance, with highly commendable, rapidity. The under taking of establishing successfully a provincial daily. paper, of course, rests with the . public's pro per appreciation of the spirit in which the under taking is carried out. • As an individual subscriber, I deem it a duty I owe, to you as well as to the public, to express my obligations to you for the bold, liberal, intelligent, and,energetic spirit which has characteiisea, your journal from its commencement. • J. H. INCONSISTENCY OF TEA BROKERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SIR,—I desire to show, through the medium of your columns, if you will allow me a place in them, to the importer, dealer, consumer, and public at large, the inconsistency of the tea-brokers of Liverpool. What is termed the selling broker, prior to a sale, publishes a catalogue, of the marks, numbers, and quantity of each description of tea he pur poses on a certain date, to .offer to public competi= tion. The tea being up to that day for examination, "on show," in, the various warehouses in which it is bonded. The conditions of sale are set forth on the first page. of the catalogue. They state the deposit on purchases ; period of payment ; that the biddings of defitulters at previous sales will not be .received,_ and that the•, broker shall name his principal in a specified time, or ho shall be considered the principal himself. What is the conclusion that an ordinary person would come to from this aPparently, open and public mode of sale ? Why, that the merchant would obtain the best pride for his tea ; the dealer and the public have the fUll benefit.of full, unrestiicted competi tion in.. their purchases. It is also fair to. infer, the importer pays the selling-broker for his ser vices, or why does he work ? . , . That„ the public would be admitted indiscrimi nately ; that he who would give the .most money for any lot of tea, complying with the conditions of sale, would become the buyer. Not so fast, in this free trade town of Liverpool. A dealer may receive a catalogue ; examine the, tea for sale ; attend the sale ; bid in, public ; have thd tea . knocked . down to him. In fact, comply with every condition made by- the seller, .yet, custom or prescription demands that he name.a broker, though he: may never have spoken to one on the subject of his intended purchases, and if not, then the selling-broker, seeing the common sense buyer without his broker by his Side, con stitutes himself his .broker, and charges,• in the account of goods purchased, per cent. Ambidexter—Janns-like, ,he takes a commission from . him who sells and him who buys.. One ,he really serves, the other he 'does no service . for, ; yet both are, for the benefit of . a few -brokers,,to pay him., ... This might have done very well during the time of the East India Company—the days of monopoly. But I ask the importers of tea, if now, in a town -that has rendered essential service to the whole kingthim, by being the first to agitate for a reduction of .the enormous duty for the avowed purpose .of extending commerce, and giving a cheap beverage to the poor; if, after haVing seen one of its '.merchant princes almost carry their propositions. literally, if they will allow'this Übuse—this one percent. in lieu of 10s.—to exist to their ,and the public's prejudice .any longer ? If so, discontinue calling a sale public, where, if brokers don't bid, they receive equally their com mission ; and let the selling-broker sell to the buying-broker, being occasionally both seller and buyer : the monopoly would then be complete, as the East India Company's was. What is 4 tea-broker? A man who sits beside another, and bids for that other, charging him 10s. for every 2000 s. for opening his mouth and saying to his brother broker how much his client is willing lie shall offer for what the other has to sell. This would not be so bad ; for if a man won't do his own business, he ought to pay others for doing it, and not complain. I complain they charge, prescriptive charges they may call them; as great to him who does his own business, as to him who really employs them. Is this right—is that fair? In their' conditions of sale, they ask the broker who buys to name his principal. They don't ask the principal to name his broker, yet if he do not, the selling broker constitutes himself such, and adds Is per cent. to the principal's purchases.. Is this a fair principle ? Thus they get not the two hundredth part, but one hundredth part of the tea sold, for brokerage alone. Suppose there is imported into Liverpool, 18,000,000 pounds of tea, out of the 5000,000 annually imported into England, it would constitute about 200,000 chests, of 84 lb. to each. The one hundredth part of. 200,000 chests is 2,000, or in other words, 2,000 chests are annually given in lieu of. 1,000 chests. .to the Liverpool tea brokers for their services. • . Why? Because they think they have a prescrip tive right to a half, per cent. on all tea, whether sold by public or private contract. Messrs. Merchants, importers of tea, will you stand this anylonger—submit to have your imports .pats itman,a on.' broth sides ? If you 'do, you will fa4Pify. the. conditions of your talc., <<that the highest bidder shall, be the purchaser," and ought to., change this into the highest,. &c., through -a broker. I can't _see wherein the sale of tea. differs from the sale of an old tea-table. - There are brokers in. this- line, who buy for themselves or their customers ; but whoever heard of a broker charging a person who bids for himself, half per cent ? Continue the brokers' usage, and refuse to the public the right. to purchase on their own account, becoming their own brokers and bidders, and you pay for such restriction 2,000 chests a-year, in lieu of 1,000 chests, and probably get less, .rather than more price for your Bohea. I have written this letter, because I have been told by a broker, unless, though . I bid for myself, I pay 'brokerage, he will not receive my biddings It• is fair that those who employ brokers should pay ; but is it reasonable that those who do not require their services should pay ? - I am, respectfully, THOMAS OTTLEY. 20th December, 1853. 14, Temple-street, Liverpool ENGLISH GOLD MINE BUBBLES. TO THE.EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SIR,—It was with infinite satisfaction that I pe rused in your valuable paper of 22nd November, the elaborate exposure 'of the Great Onslow,.Thisearn and Perean Consols Mines, and also, Penquean Slate .Quarry-schemes: My object in now addressing yOu is to caution the, public, through your spirited paper, against a variety of Gold Bubble Schemes, which are now in the market. The promotereof these affairs procure 8- small lump of •" auriferous ore,” perhaps from California or Australia, -but represented to have been raised from "Ptiddlebrook Mine, • county of Diddlesex." This specimen is at once for - warded to assay, with a promise, "ProfeSiot Pocketfee," for that if the "diddle tones . ," he, the ;said profess:or, will reiseive a grand bonus, as his share of the spoiii (say 1000 free shares.) : As a matter of course, the worthy professor grinds his specimen to the finest powder, in order to extract every particle, and in duo-seas _ flourishing-return of four ounces of pure'giila to the ton of ore, when, in' reality, he liad but operated only 'on 100 grains. This fine certificate is freely published in a variety of news papers, with reports of large sales of shares, at 55., 10s., and 20s premium, and expected to reach 1001: premium. Alderman Goodsale is stated to have purchased 2000 shares, and his esteemed friend, CoUncilfor Barebones, takes 1500 shares, provided, they can sell them in the market. This, however, is easily, effected, with the assistance of the puffing reports, and the aid of a feW Iningry brokers, who jump at any dirty job for a commission. Full of buqmess, they enter the stock exchange, card in hind, the first trade for a month, shout "Gold bubbles,! gold bubbles ! who'll buy my fine gold bubbles? Gold bubbles that will pay 50 per cent.. dividends in twelve months—who will buy at 30s. each?" The green ones bite; the ball is set going, and every day brings fresh victims to the slaughter, With an addition to the premium; and such is the gullibility of poor "John Bull," in his anxiety to obtainiriches, that he buys hiS hundred shares, and prizes his worthless scrip, until he dis Covers that they are only.fit for the 'cook to light fires with. In the Opinions of the Most talented mining men hi this kingdom, the universal opinion is, " that though gold is known to exist in minute particles in many districts of England, Scotland, and Ire land, but not in sufficient quantity to pay for ex traction." It may also be remarked that small portions, say 100 to 150 grains of quartz are fie-. quently found, containing probably 20 grains of pure gold; that amount multiplied' to' the propor tion of' a ton of quartz, would give an enormous per centage, but the question is what time would it require, and what would be the expenSe, to col lect such a ton of ore .? Most probably a thousand years, and at a cost of £lO to £2O per ounce of gold extracted. There are many parties in this town who pur chased Californian and Australian gold. bubble shares, et a premium of 300-to 500 per cent, when in reality the shares never ought to have been ata premium until the concerns were fully deVeloped. Not one farthing has yet been paid, neither is' there the most remote prospect of a dividend, and those :who are interested will be fortunate if they ever obtain one shilling in the pound. from their investment; the capitals which have been paid up will be frittered away by greedy directors and - offi cials, and such will be the result of the English Gold Mining, alias Bubble Companies. Not all the ingenuity of man combined can extract gold from where it does not exist. It appears from published reports that there have been numerous experiments made recently, with new machinery, on specimens represented to be from about twenty Worthless mines in different parts of England, Scotland, 'Sze. The promoters of these experiments have . only in view the object. of raising a sale for their shares, otherwise worthless. The results of these experi ments show very flattering returns, varying. from one half ounce to four and five ounces of pure. gold to the ton of ore, which it, must be borne in mind is only on a very small fraction of a ton, which may be stated thus,—if.so grains quartz return 6 grains of gold, what will 2240 lbs. return ? But no reli ance can be placed on the statements of the parties or the source from whence, the quartz is . obtained. In a short time, with the assistance•of inachinery, we may anticipate assays being made, and large returns of gold being discovered, from almost every rubbish heap in the mining districts, .from,corn well to Shetland. It therefore behoves the public to be on their guard.—l am, Mr. Editor, your obe dient servant, • Liverpool, Dec. 19. 1853. JUSTIN. TOWN IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SlR—Much has been said of late about town im provements ; but, of all the plans produced, there is one whieh appears to me to have been overlooked, and which is worthy of consideration. . . The main ,object is to relieve Dale-street of some of,the Increasing traffic from the railway station in Lime-street and St. George's , Hall to the landing stage. Now, as a project is on: foot to divide the George's. Dock, and run a street over to the pier head, and. as Brunswick-street and Gook-street, pretty good streets, would form a continuation as far as North John-street, it would be a trifling mat ter (comparative with other costly plans) to make a new street from here, direct to the south end of the St. George's Hall, or to join the proposed street from the latter place to Whitechapel. This would shorten the distance, and open, so to speak, An extra wing to the district of Whitechapel. Another reason I would mention in favour of this suggestion is, that as the high level railway scheme is so much approved of, and, doubtless, before long will be con structed, it is more than probable the Garston rail way company will avail themselves of the opportu nity of extending their line to Liverpool, and the present warehouses in the Goree, extending from James's-street to Brunswick-street, could be made into a commodious and central station, exceedingly convenient for traffic, and especially for merchants and others desirous of residing on the line. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, D. ASSAULT.—Yesterday, at the, Manchester city police court, Edward Mulligan was fined 5115., or, in default, to be imprisoned for two months, for a savage assault, at ten minutes past one on ,Sunday morning, on a person named Henry Smith, a spinner, and a stranger in the city. A DISHONEST LODGER.—Jane Green, a married woman, was charged by Mrs. Jackson, of Queen's Place, Lower Tranmere, with robbing her. The prosecutrix is a widow, and supports herself by following the business of a laundress. In May last, the prisoner, with a husband and child, came to lodge with her, and remained till the 2th of August, when she suddenly disappeared ; but the husband and child re mained with Mrs. Jackson. At various times property entrusted to the latter to wash, had been mysteriously stolen, and her character shortly became damaged with her customers. Subsequently she heard that the prisoner was living in Manchester ; and last week that she had returned to Tranmere. She therefore gave information to the pile; and had her apprehended. The prisoner acknowledged steal ing a sheet and blanket, and pawn-tickets for most of the other property were found in possession of herself and her husband. She was committed for trial. We are happy to announce that the hardship to which we have so repeatedly called attention regarding the serious deductions made * from the pay of naval officers serving on foreign stations, in discounting their bills, is about to be removed. Arrangements will shortly be completed, by which officers will have the optiOn of receiving their pay in cash at par, or of having a bill, as heretofore, upon the pa aster-general.— United errice Gazette. PERSONATION AND FORGtERY IN CONNECTION WITH A MONEY Cur - B.—Yesterday; at the Manchester city police court, a person named William Sicetintin, was charged with having represented, himself as another person, with the view of imposing upon the Managers of a money club, held at the house of. Mr. Lomas, beer-seller. It appeared that a person named Anderson being in want of some money,. applied to _gr. mnnev lub. for the loan of £B. Sureties were tendered and visited by the - agent or tlw ow., Mr. William l3rodie. Amongst the other sureties was the prisoner, who gave his name as James Taylor, mechanic, and that he worked in a shop in a street leading out of Oldham-road. After the prisoner had signed the promissory note, the agent of the club suspected that he was not the party he represented himself to be, and such was found out to be the case, upon inquiry being made at the shop where be said he was a Mechanic. And the real James Taylor, mechanic, stated that he had never authorised him to use his name, or sign it to the note. He stated that he had, up to within a recent period, lodged with the prisoner, and that he had been asked to give the use of his name, but this he always objected to. The prisoner was committed to take his trial at the next assizes. DISTRESSING SUICIDE Ey HANGING.—At the Railway Inn, Deansgate, Manchester, an inquest was held by Edward Herford, Esq., coroner for the city of Manchester, touching the death of Charles Wilbraham, late of 21, Lombard-street, cab driver, aged 50 years, leaving a widow and one child. Robert Thompson, of 21, Lombard-street, broker, stated that the deceased had lived with him nearly five years. Deceased's wife did not live with him, but he lived with a young woman named Jane Wilbraham, who was under stood to be some relation to him. On Friday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, witness sent his little girls upstairs to see whether the deceased was within, or whether he had gone out to seek work. They soon came down and gave an alarm that Charles hid hung himself. Witness ran up and found him hanging by a small cord used for drying clothes, and fastened to a small nail by the door of his own room, He cut him down instantly with his pocket knife and placed him on the floor. He was warm. Witness sent for Dr. Mann, who would not come, and then Dr. Stott's man arrived and said he was dead. He had been out of work three weeks. Jane Wilbraham could earn about Is. a-week by wash ing. They were very badly off, and there was no food in the house. Believes they both wanted food very much. Is satisfied it was want which caused him to commit suicide, otherwise he thought the deceased had no disturbance of his mind. 'Besides the young woman with whom he lived he has to support his wife and child. lie thought that if the doctor first sent for had come he would have had a chance of saving his life. Jane' Wilbraham stated 'that they had been In great want of the necessaries of life. The deceased was a high-spirited man, and she believed it was want that had forced him to commit suicide. Verdict, " Hanged himself whilst insane from the effects of distress and want of food." ItOIITALTIT o MARI, (From the New York Courier and Enquirer.) The ship Constellation left Liverpool on the 21st of October with nine hundred and sixteen passengers in the steerage and arrived here on Friday last with only eight hundred and sixteen. One hundred had died in thirty-five days and twenty of the survivors reached our shores only in a condition to be carried to the hospital, there to take their slender chance of life. • The fact is startling. There is no wonder that the news created a deep sensation in the com munity, and particularly among those interested in any way in the transportation of emigrants. The interest which it awakened manifested itself in two ways. Some persons and presses took the easiest, and perhaps the most popular and profitable mode of airing their sympathies,which was to de nounce all and singular the owners and captains of vessels which bring emigrants, and especially the system under which they are brought over ;-- for it seems that they are brought under " a system," though we were not aware of the fact that there was a system. Others were aroused to investigate the circumstances, with the hope of being able to form an opinion upon all the facts of the case, instead of a single one. The latter course commended itself both to our feelings and judgment. We found in the first place that with regard to this par ticular vessel, the Constellation, there was an unusual cause, in the condition of the ship, for the dreadful mortality which took place on board her. She was • prttty clean. Ships Which bring emigrants are never very clean, for a reason Which we shall presently consider. The deaths on board the Constellation were chiefly of cholera, though no cases of that disease were landed. The captain says that he never saw it'so malignant ; that it killed in a few hours nearly every one attacked by it. Such is the account of the matter , given by the health officer. But this particular occurrence is made the occasion of attacks upon the emigrant system, by . which, we suppose, is mea' t the somewhat similar provisions for the comfort of emigrants which are made partly in conformity to our law, partly in conformity with the English passenger act, and partly in conformity with the interests of the emigrants, the shipowner, and last, not least, the willingness of the former to conform to any regulations for their comfort. at all. Were the provisions of our present law fully complied with, and were our shipowners and masters permitted to make, with out further interference, such provision for the health and comfort of their steerage passengers as they are inclined to make, there can be no doubt that emigration to this country would be accomplished with the maximum amount of security to the life and health which "would be secured by the means of the emigrants. But this is not the case. Our captains and owners find on the other side of the water, but chiefly in the emigrants themselves, and their own re cently restricted power on the decks of their vessels, serious obstacles to the perfect working of their plans for the safety and comfort of those for whose lives they are, in a measure, responsible. By the British passenger act, which is ver stringent in its terms, the provisions to be used by the& emigrants must be examined and approved by certain go vernment inspectors. This would seem to be a. very reason able requirement. But it is found to work in this way : provisions taken to England for the purpose of being used by these emigrants on the' return voyage, are almost invari ably condemned by the inspectors, no matter how good their quality ; and it is more than suspected that these inspectors have a direct interest in the sale of the comparatively worth less stuff with which the owners are perforce obliged to supply - themselves in England at English prices. It is in the emigrants themselves, however, that the . greatest obstacle to a proper and healthy condition of the ships which bring them is found. The subject is an un pleasant one to Aalk about; but unpleasant topics must sometimes be treated ; and the fact is that the personal habits of these emigrants are filthy to a degree which few readers of these columns, who have not had an opportunity to study the natural history of the emigrant, can by the most active exertion of their imaginations possibly conceive. They are content to live and move and have their being i n such a concatenation of foul and pestilential substanc es , which are anything but vapors, that the only wonder is that they are not rotten to the bone before they reach our shores. No domestic animal of decent antecedents would consent to live half a day in the atmosphere, and with the surround ings to which a large portion of these emigrants appear ut terly indifferent. As to water, the females seem to conceive its only use to be to make " My," and the males to regard it as only fit to spoil whiskey. They turn into their quar ters when they go on board, and lie stewing and fretting 'i n their filth throughout the voyage, and leave their dens in such a condition that Hercules would have had but little choice between them and the Augean stables. 'They resent as an interference with their . comfort and their liberty any effort to enforce personal cleanliness upon them; and under the restrictions at present laid upon captains as to coercive enforcement of discipline, they are able to set police regula tions at defiance. It is worthy of remark that the sickness and mortality in emigrant ships has been on the increase since the passage of the recent laws with regard to discipline at sea. The lack of power to enforce instant obedience from their crews, or to punish disobedience, is also a serious obstacle to the working of such police regulations as would almost entirely prevent one class of disease which infect emigrants arriving here. Women, with children at the breast, who entered the ship in health leave it infected with a loathsome disease—mother and child—and if the mother choose to expose herself to it, the captain has no power to prevent it. lie can recommend, and suggest, and advise • but he can no longer compel. He is able to take in sail only by politely reminding his crew of the propriety of such a course. He is no longer "a one man power ':; front which there is no appeal, and against which there is no resistance, except by a mutiny, which gives him the power of life and death over the mutineers. To these causes are to be attributed that portion of the recent excess of mortality among the steerage passengers, which is not due to epidemic causes existing on the other side of the water. The limited accommodations for these passengers is not responsible in any great measure for their decimation. With the same space at their, disposal, they might make the voyage in safety and comparative comfort, would they themselves take but moderate care of their own persons, or could they be compelled to do so. The recent cases in which they have been deprived of rations have been those in which captians have tried that method of enforcing some slight semblance of decency and cleanliness among them, but in vain. The only consequences were abuse on board, and too readily echoed complaint here. This condition of things is serious, and under present circumstances, seem ingly hopeless. What can he done ? '~' TM; Nottlt Weft •IllttY rtMthi MORTALITY AT SEA. The New York papers continue their fearful records of mortality on board the ships arriving at that port from Europe. Here is a partial list of the arrivals for the last seven days, with the mortality reported : "Ship Statesman, from Antwerp, 25 deaths ; barque Cmsar, from' Hamburg, 7 ; Calhoun, from Liverpool, (including 4 seamen and 1 boy) 54 ; Emma Fields, from Liverpool, 42 ; Delaware, from Bremen, 15 ; Empire, from Havre, 73; Antarctic, from Liverpool, 75; ship Fidelia, from Liverpool, (seamen) 3 ; barque Rhein, from Hamburg, ; ship Cornelia, from Liverpool, 13." The Journal of Commerce, commenting upon this sad fatality says : " During the last two months, disease has greatly afflicted the emigrant vessels. It is not recollected that the mortality on shipboard was ever before so great. Some variety of opi nion has existed as to the nature of the disease prevailing— but upon inquiry at the emigration office, we learn that the physicians at quarantine (who have already had an extensive experience,) are nearly or quite agreed that it is closely allied to that form of cholera which has for some months past pre vailed in Europe.. There are no local influences on our emi grant ships tending to aggravate the disease, for these vessels are as cleanly, well ventilated, and well provisioned, as here tofore. In these respects, they are generally far superior to what they were a comparatively short, time ago. Yet hun in - dreds of individuals have died forty-eight hours after the first attack. Some even die before the ships leave their anchorage in Mllitpcan Ponta- The ordinary ship fever is not as malignant. We learn that some of the sea captain. have great confidence in the use of a mixture of brandy and cayenne pepper as a remedy. Captain Kelly, of the American Union, considers that he owes his life to this prescription. " Since the cholera began to prevail on ship-board with the fatal effects now so frequently noticed, or, say within two months past, probably 12,000 emigrants have been landed at quarantine, on Staten Island, and there cleansed, fed, and elothtd, at the expense of the emigration 'commissioners, wh.le the vessels have undergone a process of purification. By this means, the disease has been excluded from the city, and from the emigrant houses on Ward's Island. Every ship is detained at quarantine two or three days, or until the health officer pronounces her in good order." The Evening Post, commenting upon the statement above made, " that there are no local influences on our emigrant ships tending to aggravate the disease," remarks, and we think with much truth : But, admitting the general improvement, it is still true that many of them are entirely unfit for the business to which they are appropriated. If the writer of the paragraph would visit one of these vessels just after her arrival in port, he would find the foul air, the filth and the oduur, emanating from the parts to which emigrants are confined, wholly intolerable." WO would again call the attention of our New York con temporaries to the fact that there has been no unusual mortality on board the ships of. Train's line of Boston and Liverpool packets. We have already given a table, showing that the deaths on board these packets during the summer months did not average more than one to a ship. The same exemption from sickness has continued during the fall months. Within a fortnight five ships have arrive at this port consigned to Enoch Train and Co., bringing nearly two thousand passengers, and the deaths have not averaged more than one to a ship ; and this while the vessels which left Liverpool at the same time for New York, have marked their track over the broad ocean with the dead bodies of their human- freight. In the name of humanity, we ask, why is this? We know that particular attention is paid in the Ships of Train's line to cleanliness: and ventilation, and the most watchful supervision is exercised over the san itary condition of the ships. We can only attribute the mortality on board the. New York ships to a lack of these precautions and of this unceasing vigilance.—Boston Paper, COVPT. --Y I.s.rEILD..IY This court sat at 10 o'clock on , yesterday. AUSTIN V. Camo.---Thia was an action brought by the )I:iintiff, who is a licensed victualler residing in Brunswick road, to receive 4/. from the defendant, a cow-keeper in Great Homer-street. The plaintiff sought to recover the amount in consequence of a false representation which he alleged had been made by the defendant to induce him to purchase a cow. From the evidence given upon the part of the plaintiff, it appeared that upon the 3rd of October last, the defendant was at the cattle-market in Liverpool, and had with him a cow which he alleged to be a calving cow. The Plaintiff was also there, and had brought with him a fat cow, which he valued at 101. He entered into negociation with the defendant for the exchange of the two animals, and the defendant valued his cow at 141. Finally, they agreed to make an exchange, the plaintiff consenting to , pay 4/. in addition to the defendant as the difference of value between the cattle. The plaintiff stated that he had made this bargain upon the distinct representation of the defen dant that his cow was a calving cow, and had calved within a few weeks previously. After the bargain was made, the plaintiff took the cow home, when it turned out that she Was not a calving cow, and gave scarcely any milk. He therefore brought the present action to recover the 4/. which lie had paid to the defendant as the difference between the value of the animals, in consequence of the representation made by the defendant that the cow which he sold was a Calving cow. Mr. — HrmE appeared for the defence, and contended that the plaintiff had sufficient opprtunities of knowing the finalities of the animal he purchased, and that being a man who was in the habit of dealing in cattle, he must have known what kind of a cow she was, and had therefore no right to complain of the bargain he had made. His HONOR gave a verdi c t f or th e pl a i n tiff f or 2/ . ; an d in giving the verdict cautioned the defendant against mak ing such representations in future as it appeared he had made in that case. He added that he felt bound to tell the defendant that a very little more would have rendered him liable to a criminal prosecution for having obtained money under false pretences.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.--YESTERDAY The advance of prices in the English markets, as stated in our last, increased up to the close of the week, and has been fully responded to in Ireland. In both countries farmers' supplies are short of the deliveries usual at this sea son, and our, own Gazette returns of the weekly averages and quantities, for 10,weeks since 2nd October, show a fall ing,off of 25,700 qrs per week, as compared with the cur responding period of last year : with an average crop, this difference would indicate that growers retained in their hands a larger quantity than customary ; but, taking into account the miserable deficiency , of the present year, these returns would show that a proportion of the realised WHEAT harvest, even greater ,than usual, has already found its way to market. ,This is not an immate r i a l cons id era ti on , at a a time when large -proportion of the diminished supply from more than one Euroiean source is being steadily diverted for the uses of our near continental' neighbours, ; -who also con-, tinue strong competitors against us in the American market, the united demand leaving the transatlantic seaports, at the commencement of winter, very barely stocked ; for our im mediate requirements there is, however, a considerable quantity on the way from the United States, chiefly for this port and London; the stock afloat 'for Liverpool being estimated at about 8,00,000 bushels WHEAT, and 100,000 barrels FLoun; this accumulation, to arrive within a limited period, is expected by many to occasion at least a tewporary pressure and reaction of prices, however the market may afterwards rule ; in the meantime light arrivals, and exten sive consumption, are producing a sensible effect upon our stocks, and upon considerable transactions on Saturday and yesterday, sellers have easily established a further advance; a portion of the business has been speculative, am ongs t winch operations have been made in FLOUR to some extent, for delivery in March, the buyer being at liberty to cancel contract, on forfeiting the deposit of 2s or 2s 6d per barrel, a description of contract not common to, our trade, and rather over-stepping the limits of ordinary speculation. The weather in some parts of the country in the course of last week 'has been variable, but more generally frosty and severely cold, the latter having been uniformly the case here since Tuesday last. The prevalence of contrary winds continuing to keep back the bulk of the expected large arrivals from the west ward, the supplies of foreign grain into this port, during the week ending yesterday, are consequently very moderate in amount, those of FLOUR, noted below, having been prin cipally reported on Friday ; the receipts within the same period, coastwise and from Ireland, consist chiefly of a tolerable guantity of OATS And OATMEAL, which with. the exports of the week are specified beneath. At this day's market we had a good attendance of town and country dealers ; the show of foreign WHEAT on the Stands was neither choice nor extensive, and holders being firm at id to 2d per bushel over Friday's amendment, there was a manifest reluctance to operate freely, and we can note only a moderately fair business dune at this enhancement. Id FLOUR the transactions were rather limited, at an improvement of little more than 6d per barrel on the week. In BARLEY, OATS, and BEANS no change is quotable. OATMEAL in fair request, with a speculative demand ,for old, each at an advance of 9d to is per load. INDIAN CoRN is generally held for is per lir above last Tuesday's rates, and some parcels of sweet and sound quality have been taken to hold over.

The projected Harbour at Sil e ° , 3 ol Bay would be, the nearest deep-sea harbour to th is !'itis centre of railways, and'as the Solway Frith in w hi t i e yap situated runs up so far into the land, as a glance at th of England will show, the Carlisle and Silloth Bay 113 . 1 0 6 with the Port Carlisle and Newcastle and Carlisle Itai'.oet would form a direct Railway connection between the the man Ocean and the' Irish Sea at the narrowest part e' d t he Island.

A single line will be laid down in the first instance, but sufficient b eti will be taken and works constructed for a double line W, j 4 the same may be found necessary. The landowners er sr e general strongly in favour of the line, and some of th elli aer upon the Provisional Committee, and promoters of the °u 'r' taking. The country through which the line passes i fectly flat and level—there will be no heavy earthOrot, expensive works of any kind—and it is estimated ftlie allowing liberally for all contingencies, the total costs o ce di Railway, including the purchase of land, will not 0. 5 r £65,000, being at the rate of £5,000 per mile. Coot thi tors of undoubted respectability are ready to undertone construction of the line for this sum. v te The Estimates for the Dock and Harbour have bee ll ,: c eo pared by Mr. J. B. Hartley, of Liverpool, who has had e r r:. experience in the planning and carrying out of such W e t he They amount to £60,500. The total estimated cost of works will thus stand as follows : Cost of Railway £65, 000 Cost of Dock and Harbour Parliamentary and Preliminary Expenses and Contingencies Total £135,000 The sources of traffic have been carefully inquired i t ,loc and fully tested by persons extensively engaged in sb i l i V and manufactures, and in every way competent to OWcorrect, correct estimate f the various kinds of merchandis e will enter the harbour and pass over the line. Taking into account thepresent actualtraffic from No; to Ireland, now carried by a long sea•voyage round the i 5 o'4 and which would be diverted into the new line, tole e r with the local traffic, a minimum return of £2O per roi le b iel'' week may be safely calculated upon for the Railway, with the receipts from the Dock Dues, would yield a t o t ' dend of upwards of six per cent., after allowing 50 per for. working expenses. 170 0 The undertaking has the cordial support of the Carlisle Railway Company. a 4d .
