The Treasurer next read a statement of the collections Made in Liverpool and its neighbourhood on behalf of the Church Missionary Society. The Rev. FREDERICK F. GOUGH, M.A., missionary from China, was the first speaker. He moved the first resolution, which was to the effect that the report now read be adopted and printed for circulation. In that report one interesting item, which he had observed with sincere pleasure, was the increase in the collec tions. When he said so, it was proper, he should also state that be liked to see that increase, not from mere love of the money, but because of the fact, that 't indicated the existence in their hearts of a deepened interest in the glorious work of extending the truths of Christianity. (Hear, hear.) They could not forget, however, that the wealth and population of the town were on the increase. The question had occurred to his mind, — Did the increase in the collections for the Caurch Missionary Society, during the last year, correspond with the mate rial progress of Liverpool ? That was a question which ate, of course, could not answer, - but he merely threw it •out as it occurred to his mind. But there were other in teresting items in the report which he could not now refer to, although they might suggest many an interesting topic. He would occupy a portion of their time, having only re tend), returned from China, with details concerning the State of that far-distant land. He would confine himself chiefly to such particulars as had come under his own eye, and in which he himself had been permitted to take a part. They were not to suppose, for a moment, that what he had to say referred to the whole of China; his subject included only a very small fragment of that co untry. He rejoiced, however, that, though very little had been done, comparatively speaking, that heathen land, which had been so long hermetically sealed against the admission of the Gospel, was now opened, and a way rev for the introduction of the truth, which would entually cover the whole world. It was now tirpe and a-half years since he f i rst le f t E ng l an d f or China. The voyage thither, as the most of them was probablyr aware, occupied four or five months, in the of the r ally struck way, by going round the Cape. He was especi snecalc_dtubring that voyage with the beautiful islands and heathen temples ; where there was not a single Christian missionary —not one individual to testify to the Saviour. He prayed that those numerous islands of the sea, so lovely and attractive to the eye of the pilgrim on the sea, might not be forgotten or neglected by Christians at home. (Hear, hear.) The field of missions to which be was about to direct their attention was the city of Ningpo, in which he had laboured. He merely made a passing allusion to the immense districts of Shanghai, Canton, and Hong Kong; in particular to the vast population in which the only Christian missionary was the Rev. Dr. Walsh. Why was he left alone ? Because the Chris tians at home did not come forward to the work. Hence did it arise that the solitary missionary must be left with all the discouragements and difficulties of his strange Position—a weak-handed instrument for so great a work as that which the missionary to a heathen land undertook. Ningpo was situated about 900 miles from Canton. It lay upon the banks of a river at the distance of twelve Miles from the coast. It was situated in the midst of a large plain, surrounded on every side by hills and lakes; the scenery, in fact, bearing a close resemblance to that of Cumberland. The mountains were not lofty, but at the same time, he believed, were as high as those of Cumberland. The city, of course, differed widely in its chief features from an English town. The streets were ex ceedingly narrow, and not very clean. There being no horse vehicles in use accounted for their narrowness ; and there were unfortunately no sanitary commissioners to ensure cleanliness. ( Hear, hear.) With regard to the houses, th ey Were never more than two stories in height, in gene aajheY were only one. Even the majority of the Man i. Banns resided in habitations of a single stor y, With p r a sl)ect to the people themselves, they were no - t barba rians in the common acceptation of the term. They were had and polite to a very considerable extent. They i„ not the complicated machines that were to be found Operation in England ; but they had very many clever which man ingenious contrivances nc of a mechanical kind, with y of the audiee were to a certain extent ac flaainted. As to their politeness, it more resembled what might be se en i n P ar i s t h an t h a t w hi c h th e y were accus tomed to find in England. This he illustrated by speci mens of the common Chinese conversation, especially the Stock p h rases in everyday use among the middle and upper classes of Chinese society. (Applause.) With regard to their spiritual state, which was the maiepoint t hey had to consider, he must make one general remark before he entered into details. In China, and especially in that part of it where he lived for the space of more than two years, he found that the upper and educated 'classes were, to a very great extent. atheistic, whereas the females were invariably the victims of the gloomy and repulsive system of superstitution which prevailed. They worshipp e d the gods out of fear and dread, not from love. Not unf r equently their devotions were dictated by a de sire for some temporal good,—for offspring, or wealth, or honours. If you ask what form of doctrine prevails in the country, the reply was that there were three.—the doctrine of Confuscius, oh Bhudda, and a third the disci ples of which might becalled the Rationalists of China. The educated class of the people all affectod to be the disciples of Confuscius, and look up to him as the author of their doc trine, and of whom they make a boast ; though they did not call him God, yet they worshipped him, and sacrificed to him. They looked up to him as the great head and leader, not of their religion, for it was unworthy of the name, but of their doctrine. The books of Confuscius did not contain anything but the most indistinct notion of a Supreme Being. They contained, however, many admir able ethical maxims, among which there was one that had never probably been heard in any other heathen land. From a passage in a book which, to a certain extent, resembled Boswell's Life of Johnson, in that it was writ ten by a disciple of Confuscius, who recorded most slavishly the sayings of that great man, it appeared that on one occasion he was asked if he could include the whole of 1 1 3 , 1 r, duty in one word ? He gave one word, which, c `ng translated, meant, " What you would not have others to do to you, do it not unto them." It Zas a very r e mar k a bl e c i rc umstance that this saying T ad bee n pu t f orwar d i n a ver y p rom inent manner. ti ll ° sneaker next proceeded to notice the position of _le literary or educated class of the Chinese, who were the most proud and bigoted class of men, perhaps, who ever_ existed upon the face of this earth. He referred ,_ °l ,?re especially to those who were acquainted with, and ro,o made their boast, of the writings of Confuscius. The i'en lY l i nd in acco Chinese literatuunt of the creation of the world which was tothe be i„"re, was one " el ligence of a Creator. It was to this effect. They say t hat, there ex i s t e d a cer t a i n pr i nc ipl e ca ll e d th e grea t vztreme from which emanated two other principles, the generative principles of nature, and that these produced ,sheaven and earth. This was the way in which they ig ,,red the ex i s t ence o f an i nte lli gen t C rea t or , an d by th e i r ,; (3111 , unhapp y system re d uce d t h e i r di sc i p l es t o th e l owes t deaths of idolatry. He next proceeded to detail the con (11ion of the disciples of Bhudda, producing a great num berof the idols in daily use among the unfortu nate. victims. Th e fi rs t he produced was one which Olt b e f oun d i n every s h op i n Ni ngpo : it was a s' ba figure with a piece of silver in its hand, and the o Pkeeper not only gave it accommodation in his pre mises. but also burned incense to it regularly every , a 4 r ning and evening, for fear that he might lose his trade Ind fall into poverty. Bhuddism had been oftmported from la into China. It is related that one the Emperors '.; China saw i n hi s s l eep t h e g i gant i c fi gure o f a man . le consulted the learned men of the land, who told him Whiteayng in the book of Confuscius, that there were patched men in the West. Ambassadors were at once dis- Vi a che . d on a mission of discovery ; and instead of going to Palestine, and it was then the very time of our s aviour's appearance upon earth, they arrived in India, a nd from that land brought back the idolatry of ttßhudda. He showed the Bhuddist idol of the Holy ' o ther, as they call it, to which the poor wome n o f 61. i„°i na were especially devoted, and related an ane c d o t e connexion with it which powerfully illustrates the crafti ness and s u btl e ty o f th e Pap it missionari es w h o h ave been sent out to China. One of his neighbours, a poor a nd ignorant woman, came to him and told him that she Was about to be baptized in the Roman Catholic Church ; and upon inquiry he ascertained that the only preparation W hich had been specified for her, was the committing to memory of a liturgy to the holy mother,—(hear, hear,) the very idol which she had been accustomed to worship all her life. The god of small pox—Jupiter of the Pan- Lher—and other idols were then shown in succession-- 'ue speaker presenting to the view of the audience What required no explanation, namely, the beads in rduced by the Romanist missionaries. (Hear, hear, and ails:lse). The Bhuddist priests are distinguished by their Oapnpaeitiehiidds. by the peculiar colour and cut of their also by the vow of celibacy which they take and reeei r : t the priesthood. They live in monasteries, from afar , w il " offerings of the poor women who come -caricature of 1 1.0 1 I n t .i lie related might almost appear a ,eirl n ame - operation in that par n : l3 fla ; but he had witnessed it in likewise there was al °f China where he lived, in which •eould be called by n a o r t a ti amber of nunneries—for they taken certain to a w y h o i w c h offemc celibacy, rev side, who, like the priests and who devote themselves to in the nunnery. (Hear, hear.) t.T duties performed passed to a re next view of the Rationalist body, who - ` 1 : 1 7 the Bhuddists, and who profess to work b ac) numerous as and thus to drive away the , on magical arts, haunt man ; and who likewise, for sPirits which professed to be in possession of the :jr z t i 7 years, Mortality. With regard to the treatment of Missionaries, he mentioned that for a Period of sin si Months he and a dear friend of his had dw elt in a Chine se community numbering about 100,000 inhabitants; an d that, during the whole of their stay, they had only been insulted on one occasion, and then it was by a Roman Ca tholic. He stated that the missionary was able to teach and preach in the Chinese language after a year's acquaint ance with it, though, of course, it took ten or twenty Years to obtain a literary knowledge of the tongue; that t he lower classes of the peo ple were always willing to be ad dressed or instructed; that it was found more difficult to obtain a hearing from those in the middle or upper r anks of soci e ty ; that in Ningpo there were several converts °f great promise—oneof whom, adevotedtailor, had been ap pointed a catechist. The speaker likewise stated, that it evangelizing his intention to return to China, to resume the work of Z. v a s ugelizing the benighted population of that vast country, '%,.,00n as his health became properly re-established. „ 3 ,,_the Rev. J. C. RYLE, Rector of Helmingham, Suffolk, v_cotscled the resolution. He said that, unlike the last , s P e. eaker, he had never been out of the country, and con utie'lc_ntlY had not had any experience of the Heathens t a !'s Mr. Gough had alluded to. All be could do was b t ,„' s ring before them a few facts illustrative of the pro tlpves, .of the Society. He was aware that he was now f are a _ Kl e n„g a peculiarly business-like town, where the the %t figures was more especially felt ; and, therefore, with u on TOs he was about to lay before them would not be th t their value in a town like Liver o she . po . Knowing P°tion f was coming down t o Liverpool as one of the de. k _ . rom the Parent Society, he thought he could not b ee leltet* than go to the offices of the Church Missionary fa rt c 'Y in London, which he did the other day. He, unately found that a commi*tee be ing held,meetin was then and that the report which was to g be brought THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1853. before the ensuing annual meeting, at. Exe:er-hall, was under consideration. lie was able to inform the meeting that the income of the society, which would be laid before the meeting. in London in about ten days, showed a decided increase over last year, and he was glad to say that this increase did not arise from any large legacies, or any other unexpected source, but was the result of a decided increase in the subscriptions and general contri butions from the different branch associations all over England. (Hear, hear.) This was a most grati fying state of things, because it showed that the society had a hold upon the true-hearted members of the Church of England. He (Mr. Ryle) firmly believed that the stronghold of the society consisted in the fact that it lived in the hearts of the middle classes of this country ; and this being shown year after year, was a proof that the Church Missionary Society was in a prosperous con dition, and had the confidence of the evangelical portion of the Church of England. The subscribers knew to whom they were giving their money—they knew the committee and were satisfied that the committee wourd endeavour to promote the spread of the gospel according to the principles laid down by the society. (Hear, hear.) He was happy to be able to inform the meeting, that during the past year the funds placed at the disposal of the society had been expended in foreign missions, nothing having been spent at home. For the year ending May, 1852, the society had 109 stations, but now they were able to report 118. With regard to missionaries, in the year 1852 they had 90 British, 54 foreign, and 19 native ; being 163 whilst this year they have 98 British, 55 foreign, and 20 natives, making altogether 173 as compared with 163 for the year ending May, 1852. The number of com municants and baptisms in North-western Australia, New Zealand, and Western Africa, was also very much on the increase ; so that there could be no doubt that the report which would be submitted at the annual meeting in London would contain a very satisfactory statement of the proceedings of the society during the year now completed. In nearly all the stations where the operations of the society had been carried on with success, the favourable influence and the hand of God still continued. There was an exception to this, at pre sent, in Eastern Africa, but he had confidence that the work now going on there would in time bring forth abundant fruit. We should not look for immediate re sults, but continue labouring, confidently hoping for thu ultimate success of our exertions. We were, in this world, prone to go too fast. He himself thought when he first entered the ministry, that he could, without much difficulty, successfully bring the truths of the gospel home to all those around him. Melancthon, in his day, thought so. He thought he had only simply to preach the gospel, but he soon found it was not so. Let them, however, not for a moment suppose that good works will not at last succeed. Sooner or later a work taken up in the name of Christ would succeed, and God would bring an abundant harvest. The speaker proceeded in eloquent terms to urge upon his hearers the necessity of giving renewed support to the society, and reminded them that they were not sent into this world to live for themselves, but that if they were true and faithful members of the Christian Church they would endeavour to advance and extend the Gospel of Christ,—that each of them would give his time, his money, his influence, and his talents for the purpose of glorifying God, and sending the truths of salvation to every part of the world wherever he had an opportunity of doing so. (Hear, hear.) They had heard from the accounts which had been read, that during the past year Liverpool had subscribed £2,600, and this was considered a fair sum. Now, he considered it was a small sum for such a town as Liverpool. He was not there to flatter them. He did not come from London to Liver pool for that purpose, and he franky told them that he considered such a sum was a small amount to send up from a town like Liverpool. What were they sending from the little county of Suffolk ? Why, witbin £lOO of what they were sending from Liverpool, and Suffolk was a poor, agricultural county. Now, he hoped that, in future, they would send more money from Liverpool. They ought to do so, for the sum raised was not worthy of the town. He was thankful to them for what they had done, but he did ask them to see if they could not improve upon what they had already done. Although the society had been liberally supported, he did not think that the funds bore any great proportion to the increase of the wealth of the country. After making an earnest appeal on behalf of the society, the speaker con cluded by seconding the mo ion for the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then said that the proceedings of the meeting would now terminate, and another meet ing would be held in the evening, when the Rev. Mr. Close and several other gentlemen would address them. With reference to the remarks made by Mr. Ryle, he would say that he was not surprised to hear that the contributions to the society did not bear any proportion to the increase in the wealth of the country; but they did bear a fair proportion to the advancement of real religion in the country. (Hear, hear.) It was an index that real religion was on the increase, although not at the rate, perhaps, of the increase in our population, or of our material prosperity. (Hear, hear.)

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

CHESTER CHEESE FAlR.—Wednesday, Apr 4 l 20. — There was but a small quantity of cheese pitched, which met with a very ready sale at prices ranging from 583. to 68s. Some even fetched higher prices. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.-Traffic for the week ended April 17, 1853 :—Railway : Passengers, parcels, &c., £2,101 Ils. 7d.; goods, £1,127 Is. sd. Steamboats: £282 15s. 10d. Total, £3,511 Bs. 10d.

THE WHITCHURCH POSTMASTER.—The hearing of the serious charge of embezzlement against Mr. Richard Crosse, the Whitchurch postmaster, stands further ad journed. The prisoner has had a very serious attack of delirium tremens, and if the authorities had been pre pared to go into the case this vt ould have prevented them. We understand, however, that he is much better than he has been.—Chester Chronicle. THE RATEPAYERS OF BIRKENHEAD.—•At an adjourned vestry on Thursday, the poll for an additional assistant overseer was announced to be :—For Mr. Shillinglaws, 423; Mr. Sweeney, 416; majority for Mr. Shillinglaws, 7. Mr. Sweeney requested a scrutiny of the votes, on the ground that persons not eligible had voted, and that several personations had taken place. Agreed to, the scrutiny to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. CHESTER CATTLE FAlR.—Thursday, April 21.—The number of good horses at the fair this day was small. The number of cattle were : bulls, 11 ; cows, 529 ; calves, 9 ; sheep, 310 ; and pigs, 651. The prices for fat cattle were fully 6J. per lb. There was a good demand for calving stock, but not many good beasts shown. Scarcely any fat sheep were offered, and store sheep were at very high prices. Barren cattle made a slight advance on former rates. Pigs also were a little dearer than at last fair. A LOVE-SICK SWAIN SWINDLED.—An Irish pedlar, named John Malarney, recently swindled Mr. William Carter, jun., of Shipbrooke, Cheshire, out of the sum of £4O, by an ingeniously devised plan, which wrought upon the over-sensitive heart of the verdant young farmer. On the 16th of March the prisoner accosted the prosecutor while ploughing in a field, and told him in the most mysterious manner that a young lady, a perfect Venus, who delighted in the name of Smith, and who resided at Over Whitley, in that county, and whose paternal parent lived upon his own estate, and kept sixty cows, had often seen him (the prosecutor) at Northwich, but had never had an opportunity of speaking to him; that Miss Jane Smith wished to marry him, and to take a farm called Belmont, which would keep fifty beasts ; and that she wished to know if he would meet her the following Sun day at the Cock, in Great Budworth, to talk the matter over. The pedlar got the meeting put off; established himself as confidante of the supposed young lady, and as messenger to the delighted Carter, from whom he ob tained sums of money from time to time for various pur poses, including expenses of travelling, &c., amounting in all to £4O. Eventually, it appears that the fair Miss Smith was a mere phantom of the pedlar's wicked inven tion ; and so Malarney was brought up at the Knutsford sessions, on Saturday week, and sent to jail for twelve months. GLASS.—At a meeting of the :window -glass manufac turers, held recently at Newcastle-on-Tyne, it was re solved not to increase the price, although at present unre munerative, lest an advance should lead to the introduc tion of glass from the continent. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-THURSDAY. Few subscribers were present, and little business was trans acted. The principal movement was relative to the Two Thousand, for which event West Australian was in increased demand. Early in the afternoon 110 to 80 was betted against him, but subsequently several investments were made on him at sto 4.

TO THE ZDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sett,—We are nigh upon the eve of another Chester Cup, and only a score more days to the Derby. With regard to the Chester Cup, upon which, as is always the case after the com ing off of the Spring Handicaps, the betting has materially changed ; consequently, since my last, other names have figured prominently in the prices current. Notwithstanding, my choice, it may be gratifying t 3 my readers—l know it is to some—to state, is unchanged; and indeed so much so, t hat 1 may say I have a better opinion of him—if that be possible— than Black Doctor. My two heavy weights, Newwinster and Lady Evelyn, and St. Michael, with one or two others I touched upon, continue also equally as dangerous as before ; and, fur thermore, I still hold to Friday to form W. Day's representa tive; Newminster. Scott's ; Gossamer, Osborne's, &c. Sze. ; and. despite late performances, which have ruled prices, I in tend to stick to King of Trumps to prove Dawson's ; Indian Warrior from his stable; and Contentment from his. At the same time I am aware that it may be a toss up between King of frumps and Peggy, whom he gives 2st. 21b., as also between the Warrior and Talourd, and the latter of which is given 2st. However, the scythe and hour-glass will give an opportunity to all persons of seeing (the four, from the two stables, being cer tain to start) whether " Beeswing" is right or not, who would have all to remember, that " terror lives ere reason can be born." And lastly, for the guidance of my readers, 1 would add to the names 1 have already touched upon, those of Rich mond a..d Deerhound, and recommend keeping on the safe side of books sundry four year olds overlooked in the handi capping, such as Scarecrow and Richard Primmer, the latter of whom I have heard spoken of as likely to supersede the Doctor; but this, as also whether it will be the King of Trumps or Peggy, whether Indian Warrior or 'l'alfourd, remains yet to be seen. I may add, and whether owing to the receipt of the Li verpool Standard in Chester, or that Deva's people are more knowing than the generality, I know not, but the news from thence has, I hear, been, for the past week, Little Jack and another I have named; and indeed, some say in London, " le font eat _feta." There is something in the wind with regard to the Derby. which, by the bye, reminds me of the enigmas of Pythagoras— " When winds rise, worship the echo ;" and which a modern writer (though not a very modern one either) explains to be significant of—" When rumours increase, believe the last re port." Now, if this explanation can be applied to racing, and methinks it can, Honeywood is a clipper. Well, he may be, and I really believe he is too ; but if Umbriel requires bleed ing, let rue be the " leech ;" in fact, 1 shall stick, as one, to him until I see him beaten on the day, for there is, in my opinion, nothing to be named with him. In fact, in the present light in which things now present themselves, I should have Um briel, Orestes, Pharos, and Honeywood, 1, 2, 3, and 4.-1 re main, respectfully yours, BEES WING. - - - P.S.—The following six will be the competitors for the Two Thousand Guineas this day (Tuesday) :—West Australian, Sittingbourne, Orinoco, Lascelles, Barbatus, and Filbert; and should the first-named "miss it," in consequence of the course being "sticky," then I shall fall back upon Barbatus to be my victor, Orinoco being close at hand. Lord Londesborough's colours are blue and silver. Lord Derby has purchased Phantom, by Irish Birdcatcher. Mr. Wilson has bought The Gip, by Ratcatcher, and she goes into George Noble's stable. Sweetness, by Sweetmeat, has been purchased by Mr. Pedley, for 75 guineas, and has joined Charles Peck's string. Mr. Bi;;nellhas purchased Pesdemona. by lago, for 102 soya., and she has been sent to Robert Denman's stables. " Pegasus," in Bell's Life, selects Orinoco as the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, and Sylphine for the One Thou sand Guineas. Hungerford, by John o'Gaunt, has been sold to Baron Roths child, for a large sum. W. King, at St. A /ban's, wilt train for the future. Collin bourne, the steeple-chase I ;der, had his collar-bone fractured whilst riding Harriott in the Coventry Steeple-chase, last week. Anne Lliza, the property of the late Mr. Bell, was offered for sale last Wednesday, at York. She was bought in at £l,OOO, the highest bid being £950. Orinoco is stated to have had a satisfactoi y trial with Frantic, which, no doubt, has led to his great advance in favour for the Two Thousand and the Derby. The Mersey Stakes, to have been ran on the first day, and the Stanley Stakes, on the third day, at Liverpool Meeting, not having filled, have been re-opened. Thomas Birchall, Esq., of Bibbleston-hall, Freston, (late of the Vision,) has purchased the cutter yacht Freak, Go tuna, from William Curling, Esq., Lytchett-house, Poole. A match, for 500 soya., has been made between the Duke of Bedford's Sittingbourne and Lord Clifden's Pelion, Sat 7lb each ; T.M.51. ; to be run in the Craven Meeting, 1854. At York, last week, the Leviathan bet Mr. Wilkins .20,c)0 to £l,OOO against his mare Peggy winning Chester Cup. He also laid £24,000 to £2,000 against Orinoco for the Derby. Mr. Watt's brood mare Echidna died last week, after foaling a filly by Sweatmeat. She was the dam of The Baron, and granddam of Stockwell, both winners of the Doncaster St. Leger • A large concourse of spectators assembled on Langton Wold, on Thursday morning last, to witness John Scott's horses take their morning exercise. There were forty-three horses out, including West Australian, Umbriel, Newininster, Braxey, St. Michael, Hurworth, and many other favourites for the Derby, Oaks, and Chester Cup. West Australian, and Longbow had a rattling two mile gallop, and, on pulling up, the general feeling was in favour of the former, who has much improved on his two year old form. GREAT PIGEON SHOOTING MATCH AT PRESTON AND BELLE VUE GAHDENS.—This contest, between Mr. Robert Seed, of Preston, and Mr. Edwin Wood, of Manchester, commenced at Preston on Monday. The match was for .4'200 a side, to shoot at 200 birds each-50 each day — causing it to occupy four con secutive days—the two first at Preston, and the remaining two at Belle Vue, near Manchester. The score up to Tuesday evening was—Mr. Seed, J 6; Mr. Wood, 95. On Wednesday, at one o'clock, the match was continued on the ground of Mr. Jennison, Mr. Seed being the favourite, though much specula tion took place at evens. Every preparation.had been made. the numerous company being kept back by chains, and the 80 yards boundary for the pigeons defined by white posts. Owing .to the high wind which prevailed, and which, of course, had a tendency to facilitate the escape of the birds, neither gentle man was very successful, as, on the conclusion of the day's sport, Mr. Seed had only killed 39 out of 50, and Mr. Wood 38. The match was again resumed at one o'clock on Thursday, and 6to 4 was freely laid that Mr. Seed won the contest. The atmosphere was favourable for the sport, and, at the conclusion of the day, Mr. Seed had killed 44, and his opponent 42. The total score, therefore, is :—Monday, Mr. Seed, 47 • Mr. Wood, 46; Tuesday, Mr. Seed, 49; Mr. Wood, 49; Wednesday, Mr. Seed, 3;,' Mr. Wood, 38; Thursday, Mr. Seed, 44 ; Mr. Wood, 42 ► total score being 179 for Mr. Seed, and 175 for Mr. Wood— the last-named gentleman losing (though having proved himself an excellent shot) by four birds only I Many of the inhabitants of Preston, who speculated large sums, have occa sion to pride themselves on their townsman (Mr. Seed), for by the result of this great match he stands almost, if not entirely, the champion of the world at pigeon-shooting.

CORN .NIARKETS. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 22.—The market was slenderly attended by either town or country millers ; the amount of business in Wheat was, however, to a fair extent, and prices well supported; fresh samples of all kinds are comparatively scarce, and prime qualities inclining somewhat dearer. There is a fair inquiry for American Flour, superior brands are in small compass, and all descriptions command full prices; French a slow sale, but Spanish again rather higher. The season for malting Barley is about over ; grinding parcels meet a fair retail sale. Malt is in tolerable request. Beans, ex warehouse, dull at about the same rates; about 6,000 quarters were sold yesterday, to arrive, at 30s per 450 lbs. duty paid. Oats and Oatmeal move only in retail at Tuesday's currency. -------- BRITISH. FOREIGN. Wheat, * 70th., s. d. s. d. Wheat, * 701 b, a. d. s. d.

Fresh made Flour was held for full prices; but for other kinds the previous cur rency. was barely supported. Oats ruled dull, and must be noted the turn lower. In Oatmeal no change was observable. PRESTON, APRIL 23.—We had a dragging market for Eng lish Wheat at our Corn Exchange to-day, but the farmers held with much dimness, and prices were supported. No material change in Wheat from warehouse. Flour as before. Farmers' Oatmeal rather lower. Good winter-made Irish has met some inquiry this afternoon, at the currency of this day se'nnight. In other articles no change. WAKEFIELD, APRIL 22.—We continue to receive small supplies. 'lire demand for Wheat is of a limited character, and much confined to fresh qualities, which make the fall prices of last Friday; granaried parcels are neglected. Barley is without change in value, and not much English offer ing. oats and Shelling are ;a!ly as dear. Beans are held for higher prices. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, APRIL 23.—At our market this morning we had a larger show of Wheat from the growers than of late, and the arrivals coastwise as well as from abrcad were also to a fair extent; fresh-thrashed samples beir 3 , wanted, were placed without difficulty at fully the rates of this day se'n night ; but for other sorts the inquiry was far from animated ; still, however, full prices were realised, the quantity offering not being of that magnitude to warrant any concession being made, even to effect sales ex ship. For Flo ur th e d eman d was slow:transactions at the same time being conducted with the greatest caution. Rye met little attention, and its value was nominally unchanged. Fine heavy Malting Barley was in request, whilst for grinding or distilling qualities a slow sale was experienced, the buyers having the turn in their favour. In Malt little stirring. Beans and Pease much as before. With Oats we were scantily supplied by our farmers, and for such rather snore money was obtained, whereas other descriptions sold slowly without any material change in price. WISBECH, APRIL 23.—We have had a fair quantity of Wheat offered to-day, and the extreme rates of last week fully supported for all sorts, and in some cases exceeded by is per quarter. No alteration in the value of Spring Corn. CORK, APRIL 23.—The weather is most genial for the coming crops. Imports this week consist of 6,400 qrs. of Wheat, and 9,300 qrs. of Indian Corn. Foreign Wheat has been taken more freely,rbarrel r a r t e l a on declineof secondary. 6 6d per barrel lndian c o o n rn primein demand,qualities, at the ed fullts Pe rates of last week, with a decided consumptive increase.

This week 3645 Corresp. week last year 3522 Last week 4060 Corresp. week last year 4646 SALFORD, APRIL 20.—The number of Beasts less, but of very good quality, from 5d to bid, and all sold up at the close. Sheep larger in number, and of very good quality, from 6id to 7d ; and shorn Sheep 6d to 7d, and a few left at the close. Calves, Sid to 6id. Number of Beasts, 1,250; Sheep, 4,709; Calves, 402. LEEDS, APRIL 20.—The number of Cattle at market was 750 head ; quality generally good. Buyers were numerous, and at the close a good clearance was effected at from 8s to 8s 4d per 16 lbs. Sheep, 3,600. In the morning. trade was a little sluggish, but as the day advanced nearly all were sold. Sheep in the wool, Sd ; shorn, 6d to sid per lb. DUBLIN. APRIL 21.—For the season there was a fair supply, and sales over early, without any change in value, but the buy ing was brisk. There was an increased stock of young Calves from England, as well as year-old Cattle, for which there was a good demand; but Mulch Cows scarce. The Pig market was a large one, and good business done at an advance, from the coldness of the season and the state of the Bacon markets. Prices of Beef, 50s to 55s per cwt.; Mutton, 7d to 84d in the wool ; Veal, 84c1 per lb., all in sink Lambs, 18s to 25s ; young Calves, 35s to 555 each. Year-old Cattle, £ C4 to a es ; Pigs, 996 to 51s a 53s per cwt. PROVISION MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 22.—We have had a very quiet week in Beef, and further reduced prices have been taken for ordinary descriptions. The demand for Pork does not improve, and holders of American are inclined to submit to lower prices to make progress. The increased arrivals of Bacon, with the report of further shipments, lead the dealers to expect lower prices, hence they hold back or buy mere retail parcels, and a further concession of Is. per cwt. does not seem to have im proved the demand. With the exception of 150 tons taken for forward delivery, at 51s. to 535., the sales of Lard have been of a retail character, at steady prices. For Cheese there is a fair demand ; the proposed reduction in the duty gives satisfaction. ST. JOHN'S MARKET.-APRIL 23. s. d. s. d.
