There is only one more quality wanting to make the morsel wholesome as well as tempting, and this is, that they should incur only a limited liability. There is a strong power at work among the band of unsound speculators to obtain this consummation of their schemes—a system of limited liability as applicable to companies experience and good sense which is hitherto opposing it; sometimes the one and sometimes the other is in the ascendant. The Bubble Act was repealed in 1825, which had been founded upon an experimental know ledge of the mischiefs and unprincipled trading pro duced by the unfettered transfer of shares, contrary to all practice, among private traders. The same act of 1825, and another of 1834, enabled the Crown to grant privileges to companies involving this among others of a limited responsibility. But in November of the same SECOND EDITION. Standard Of Three o' Clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tuis DAY. Although the arrivals up to Friday were trivial, and the wind has continued in the east, a tolerable number of vessels increasing quantity of Grain coastwise and from Ireland, with a good supply of Oatmeal and a few small parcels of Flour. From abroad, however, the present imports of Grain are light, and we have no Flour thence fresh in for to-day. As, from the prevalence of auspicious weather during the last week the bulk of harvest, .even in the remote coun- ties of the north, now considered safe, apprehensions upon that subject have subsided, and the labours of autumn pro- Igdora, all speenlative feeling seems to be suppressed for the moment. Under these circumstances, in connexion with the repeated decline in Mark-lane, and the prospect of ample deliveries from the English and Irish growers, most articles of the trade this morning were further depressed in value. Upon a moderate demand for Wheat, however, good runs of Fo reign and English Old nearly retained the reduced rates of Friday; whilst English New, owing to the limited supply at hand, maintained last Tuesday's prices. Irish Wheat, on the contrary, was 3d. to 4d. per 701bs. cheaper than on this day week, and several parcels left unsold. Irish Flour must be noted Is. to 2s. per sack, and free foreign 6d, per barrel, lower, with a slow sale for each. Of bonded States Flour 1500 barrels changed hands for export at our quotations . . A parcel or two of English new Barley appeared, for which no certain price is yet named.—Foreign dull at the rates of last week.—Malt, Beans, and Pease remained un altered. Upon a fair supply of Irish Oats, prices gave way fully Id per 451bs, at which the best kilndried samples moved off gradually ; but of ordinary and undried parcels it was ex tremely difficult to effect any sales whatever. _ Oatmeal upon a 'very limited inquiry was 6d per 2401bs ROBT.

Mr. Sparks being Voted by unanimous consent " a junior," he was condemned to offices that the veriest fag in Eton or Harrow had rebelled against. In the morning, under the pseudonym* of Mrs. Sparks, he presided at breakfast, having previously made tea, coffee, and chocolate, for the whole cabin, besides boiling about twenty eggs to various degrees of hardness ; he was . under heavy recognizance; to provide plate of butteted toast of very alarming magnitude, ham, kidneys, &c., to no end. Later on, when others saun tered about the deck, vainly endeavouring to fix their atten tion upon a novel or a review, the poor cornet might be seen with a white apron tucked gracefully round his spare pro portions, whipping eggs, for pancakes, or with up-turned shirt sleeves, fashioning dough for a pudding. As the day waned, the cook's gallery became his haunt, where, exposed to a roasting •fire, he inspected the details of a cuisine, for which, whatever his demerits, he was sure of an ample re muneration in abuse at dinner. Then came the dinner itself, that dread ordeal, where nothing was praised and everything censured. This was followed by the punch making, where the tastes of six diffefent and differing indi viduals were to be exclusively consulted, in the self-same beverage ; and lastly, the supper at night, when Sparkie, as he was familiarly called, towards evening grown quite ex hausted, became the subject of unmitigated wrath, and most unmeasured reprobation. " I say, Sparks, its getting late ; the spatchcock, old boy ; don't be slumbering." " By the bye, Sparkie, what a mess you made of the peasoup to-day !By Jove, I never felt so ill in my life." " Na, na, it was na the soup ; it was something he pit in the punch, that's burnin' me ever since I tuk it. Ou, man, but ye're an awfu creture wi vittals." " He'll improve, Major, he'll improve • don't discourage him ; the boy's young ; be alive now there ; where's the toast—confound you—where's the toast ?" " There, Sparks. you like a drum-stick, I know ; mustn't muzzle the ox, eh ? Scripture for you, old boy ; eat away ; hang the expense ; hand him over the jug—empty—eh, Charley? Come, Sparkie, bear a hand, the liquor's out." " But won't you let me eat?" " Eat ! Heavens, what a fellow for eating ! By George, such an appetite is lean against the articles of war ! Come, man, it's drink we're thinking of; there's the rum, sugar, limes ; see to the hot water. Well, skipper, how are we getting on ?" " Lying our course ; eight knots off the log ; pass the call. Why, Mr. Sparks." " Eh, Sparks, what's this ?" " Sparks, my man, confound it ;" and then, ' omnes cho,. rusing, Sparks !' in every key of the gamut, the luckless fellow would be obliged to jump up from this meagre fare, and set to work at a fresh brewage of punch, for the others.

(From Berrow's Worcester Journal.) We admit in the abstract the justice of the opinion that a man has a right to take his abilities to the best market and get as much money as he can for the ex ercise of them : nay more, we allow that even if an in dividual has been convicted of libel, yet having purged himself of the offence by undergoing the penalties of the law, he is not thereby precluded from all future ex ercise (A his literary or oratorical talents. It is not so much to the system of paying lecturers that we object, as to such persons, for the sake of gain, perverting their powers by employing them in the most unfounded assertions and unmeasured abuse against their op ponents. 'Thus when Mr. Acland declares that "the Corn. Laws are most oppressive and unnatural; that they are blasphemous, inhuman, anti-social, and anti agricultural ; —when he represents the landowners of Great Britain as-individuals devoid of all patriotic feel ing, sordid, selfish, mean, and influenced solely by the love of money, we tell him to his face that he is saving that which is not true, and that he is perverting his talents as a public speaker. It is the natural feeling of man, whether he be a manufacturer or a land proprie tor, to acquire a fortune as rapidly as he can ; hut what ever may be the cupidity of persons of the latter class, it is clear that they have not generally succeeded in amassing great wealth : Mr. Acland himself says that four-fifths of the landed property of the kingdom is mortgaged ; and how therefore can he have the auda city to assert that the Corn Laws have put immense sums into the pockets of the owners of land ? It is a circumstance not depending upon mere assertion, but the unimpeachable evidence of facts and figures, that real property, such as farms, does not pay its posses sors more than three or three and a half per cent. sd of Eli- i Would Mr. Acland's employers think such a return for their m self consider that he was committing a robbery by re ceiving such a rate of interest upon his own capital ? There are one or two other fallacies in these lectures, for the refutation of which we must claim from the reader a moment's indulgence. The corn laws are neither blasphemous nor anti social. The landowners say to the government, "We are British subjects, dependent upon the soil for our support, and we claim your protection. All that we require is, that as the cost of production and the amount of taxation in foreign countries are less than in Eng land, we shall not be placed in a worse position than our rivals in other nations." Is there any thing un reasonable in this ? We sometimes hear allusions made to the dark ages ; but surely the person must be la bouring under worse than Cimmerian darkness who denies that it is the duty of every state' to protect and encourage its own subjects. This principle is adopted with respect to manufactures, and the relaxation of it even in a degree has, as we too well know, been pro- ass of ductive of the most direfu. consequence But we more particularly desirous of exposing- one absurdity uttered by Mr. Acland, as it may produce a prejudicial effect on the minds of the humbler classes, though it is most creditable to the agricultural labourers that they have hitherto been uninfluenced by the improper attempts to cause discontent and resistance among them. Mr. Acland instances the case of a poor man, who worked for seven shillings a-week in an agricul tural district, and who, being taken ill, went to the workhouse, where he died. The result he does not hesitate to attribute to the corn laws ! Many heavy charges have been brought against the supporters of these protective duties, but we certainly did not antici pate that they would he accused of being liable for all the diseases to which human nature is subject. But what is the remedy which Mr. Acland proposes for low wages ? Why, to reduce the incomes of the landowners and farmers, and thus enable them to give more ! ! With respect to wages, a child in political economy knows that they are wholly dependent upon the supply of, and demand for, labour. In the accounts from the colonies, we frequently read of labourers being scarce, and that wages were in consequence high; and, vice versa, there were plenty of labourers, and the remune ration was less. The lecturer seems also to have considered that the breaking up of the smaller farms has been productive of great injury. We last week had a conversation with an intelligent gentleman from Ireland, who dwelt much upon the ill consequences which had resulted to that country from the division of the land into very small The reason is obvious : the occupiers hav ing no capital to lay out are unable to adopt the most improved modes of culture, and the produce therefore is greatly diminished, or perhaps the crops altogether fail. takings We might go on showing the absurdities of these anti corn-law lecturers, but time and space admonish us to stop. There is one illustration of the effect of free trade which Mr. Acland had close at hand, but of which he does not appear to have availed himself—that is, the present state of the glove trade. We have read an anecdote of a very respectable looking gentleman who in disposing of a horse said he had but one fault, which was, that he would not without much difficulty pass an inn which he mentioned, and therefore it would be advisable for the purchaser always to avoid the spot. The secret of all this advice was at length found out : the animal had been stolen from the inn for which he had such strong predilections. To dwell much upon the advantages of preferring the interests of foreigners to our own, might in such a city as Worcester awaken some awkward reminiscences of the wrong done to a mostimportant branch of its trade. 'We sincerely trust that we shall never see the British farmers reduced to the same condition of unmerited distress and difficulty. BERKSHIRE.—GROSS NEGLECT ON THE PART OF THE OVERSEERS.—Great loss of time has been occasioned to the revising barristers, Mr. John Kempson and Mr. John George Phillimore (who are now making the circuit of the county of Ilerks, for the revision of the list of voters), in consequence of the gross neglect of the overseers of parishes throughout the county generally. The county contains up wards of 140 parishes, and, out of this number, the over seers of only six made returns of the list of voters, &c., to the clerks of the peace within the time prescribed by the reform act. The consequence has been, that in many places two and three days have been occupied by their revision, when as many hours would have been sufficient. At Wind sor, for instance, on Saturday last, the revision of the county lists did not occupy half an hour; but the revising bar risters, not having been made acquainted with the small ex tent of business to be got through, appointed (when the days and places were fixed) the following Monday for the revision of the borough lists. That occupied about an hour and a half only. The whole of the business, which was thus (through the neglect of the overseers) spun over two days, could have been completed before one o'clock on Saturday. HISTORICAL NOTICE OF BEYROUT.—Beyrout is the an cient Beryta, which was originally colonized from Sidon. In 566 the town was destroyed by an earthquake. It was no sooner rebuilt than it had to sustain a lengthened siege by the Saracens, who finally obtained possession of it. It sub sequently fell into the power of Baldwin, King of Jerusalem ; but in 1111 Saladin succeeded in driving all the Christians out of it. After a frequent change of masters, Beyrout at length became the residence of the Emir Fakir Eddyn, Prince of the Dances, who perished there in defending his dominons against the powerful Amurath IV. Since that period, Beyrout has constantly belonged to the Ottoman empire. Beyrout coktained about 10,000 inhabitants—ac cording to some accouncs, 12,000. It was the principal trading port of the central part of Syria, and the point by which Damascus, th e entrepat of Europe and Asia, received all its merchandise, and to which it directed all its expedi tions. By this same point all the products of the soil of Syria, and more especially the silks of the Lebanon, were transmitted to Europe. The commerce of Beyrout amounted annually to a sum of 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 f. Tuscany in the first instance, and after her France, were in possession of t h e major part of this commerce. The exportations of France to Beyrout amounted annually (says the Messager) to about 2,000,000 f. ; the importations from Beyrout to France to nearly 1,000,000 f. As a military point (observes the same paper) Beyrout was insignificant. It is true that the harbour of Beyrout is the best harbour for merchant vessels on the coast, but it is inaccessible to ships of war. The means of defence of Beyrout seaward were a small fort, some bat teries constructed on the mole by which the port is sheltered, a small bastion, and fortified gates. Landward the sole for tification is a wall flanked by towers, to which a few intrench ments were recently added by the orders of Sams, Bey. Aggregate average of .the six weeks. Wheat .. 665. 7d.

CHESTER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY !he Chester Conrant.) The first meeting of the Chester Agricultural Society, under the presidency of the ost Noble the Marquis of Westminster, was held in this city, on Saturday last. The stock was exhibited in the Linen Hall, a place highly adapted to show it to great advantage. We regret, however, that we did not see its spacious area much better filled. The judges were Mr. Scotson, of Toxteth-park, Liverpool, and Mr. Dawson, of Gronant. Before proceeding to notice the stock, we may observe, that the necessity of the Chester Agricultural Society may be clearly inferred from the appearance of some of the cattle exhibited—we allude particularly to the bulls and pigs ; for we must certainly either conclude that the farmers failed to send their best cattle of that description to the exhibition, or else that a great improvement is manifestly called for ; and which, we hope, will speedily be effected. It must, however, be remembered, that this was the Society's first meeting, and that it is professedly established for the purposes of im provement, and to expect therefore that we should be ena bled to speak in as high terms of the exhibition at Chester, as we have lately done of some exhibitions in the vicinity, would, certainly, be somewhat unreasonable. Its beneficial e.,eney is now about to come into operation ; it is from the present moment that we are to judge of its effects on the agricultural interests of this part of the county ; and we have not the slightest doubt, therefore, that at the next annual meeting of the society, we shall have the pleasure of congra tulating all our agricultural friends on the improvement which has taken place, and which it is the great object of the society to secure. . . The first class of animals which we may notice is the bulls ; several were shown, but with the exception of the one which carried away the premium, belonging to Mr. Taylor, of Overton Hall, near Malpas, we cannot speak very favoura bly. Mr. Taylor's, however, was a very valuable animal, 15 months old. We have no doubt that the special attention of the farmers will be directed in future to the improvement of the bulls ; especially when they reflect that in such a county as Cheshire, a good breed is absolutely indispensable. We may certainly speak more favourably of the dairy cows, as several very useful ones in milk were exhibited. The first prize was won by Mr. Parker of the Grange, near Chester, but we think that the best cow in the field was one of the extra stock belonging to the same gentleman ; this was a truly fine animal. The show of heifers too, was very tole rable, both as to number and quality. Several very useful ones were shewn ; and Mr. Palin, of Stapleford, whom we had last week to record as a successful candidate at the South Cheshire show, won the two prizes, viz. for the best in-calf heifer and for the best yearling ditto.—There was no premium given for sheep, but several very good pens were exhibited, particularly those belonging to Mr. Walker, brewer, of this city.—The show of pigs was not so good as we could have wished, and if we except one belonging to Mr. Palin of Stapleford (extra stock) we dare not say much in their favour. We really think a better show might have been made, as there are several very good breeders within the limits of the Society's district. Mr. Taylor, of Overton Hall, won the premium for the best boar under two, and Mr. Walker for the best stallion under one year old. The sweepstakes for the best stallion was won by Mr. Parson age, several very good ones being in the field. For the pre mium of £7 for the best pair of horses for agricultural pur poses, there were two competitors, Mr. Podmore, of King's Ferry, and Mr. Palin, of Stapleford. The colts shown by Mr. Palin were very good and useful animals ; but those be longing to Mr. Podmore were two of the most splendid animals we ever saw. They won the premium, and besides this had previously carried away premiums at Liverpool, Ruthin, and Holvwell. The sweepstakes for the best brood mare was won by Miss Lloyd, of Soughton, near Northop. Several other sweepstakes were advertised, but they did not fill. Amongst the agricultural implements were a corn drill, two turnip cutters, &c., and they appeared to be very use ful implements. We observed as extra stock, sent from our respected towns men, the Messrs. Dickson, a numerous collection of very tine seed wheats, Italian and other grasses, new winter oats, and other seeds for autumn sowing. Also some specimens of their beautiful improved purple-topped Swedish, purple topped Scotch, and other turnips, red globe mangel wurzel, white field carrots, &c., which were greatly admired, and which would have carried away the prize for the sweepstakes had they been entered. There was also exhibited from the same establishment, a new turnip-slicer, and several improv ed garden engines.—The Rev. Mr. Park, of Ince, also sent several new and most prolific potatoes, and a new orange globe mangel wurzel.

AND MANCIIESTER.— The superintendent general for Birmingham, in a recent re port, states, that from a comparison of the ages of persons who died in that town and Manchester, one-fourth o f t h e whole number of deaths take place in Birmingham within the first year, whilst in Manchester upwards of a third die within the same period. In Birmingham three-sevenths, and in Manchester four-sevenths, of the whole number of deaths take place within the fifth year. In Birmingham one-half the population attain their 16th year, while in Manchester one-half the population die within the first three years. In Birmingham twice as many people survive the age of 70 as in an equal population in Manchester. The• deaths from con sump Lion are about equal in proportion to the population of the two towns, and comprise nearly one-fourth.of the whole number. ON ORGAN PLAYING At a period when the legitimate style of true organ playing is being frittered away, and that noblest of all instruments reduced to the level of the piano-forte ; when fingers are made to touch the keys as they would so many pins points, and the feet to keep up a continuous race with the fingers ; when solemnity and dignity are displaced with lightness and frivolity, and the dignity of our church service destroyed by the unholy agility of the organist; when expression is made to give way to execution, and that man is deemed the best player who can dance a Highland fling upon the pedals ; it may not be amiss to quote the sound reasoning of a truly clever writer as to the proper performance of church music. . . . , Avison, in his essay on musical expression, seeing already a false taste beginning to display itself, thus warns the or ganists of his day and generation. " We seem at present almost to have forgot that devotion is the original and proper end of our church music. Hence that ill-timed levity of air in our modern anthems ; that foolish pride of execution in our voluntaries which disgusts every rational bearer, and dissipates instead of heightens true devotion. _ " If our organist is a lover of poetry, without which we must dispute his love for music ; or, indeed, if he has any well-directed passions at all, he cannot but feel some eleva tion of mind, when he hears the psalm preceding the volun tary, pronounced in an awful and pathetic strain. It is then he must join his part, and in some solemn air, relieve, with religious cheerfulness, the calm and well-disposed heart. Yet, if he feels not this divine energy in his own breast, it will prove but a fruitless attempt to raise it in that of others : nor can he hope to throw out those happy instantaneous thoughts, which sometimes far exceed the best concerted compositions, and which the enraptured performer would often secure to his future use and pleasure, did they not as fleetly escape as they arise. He should also be extremely cautious of imitating common songs or airs, in the latter kind of performance ; otherwise he will but too much expose religion to contempt and ridicule. " It may be thought, perhaps, by thus depriving our or ganist of this public opportunity of showing his dexterity, both in his voluntary and psalm tune, that all performers in discriminately, might be capable of doing the duty here required ; but it will be found no such easy matter to strike out the true sublimity of style, which is proper to be heard, when the mind is in a devout state ; or, when we would be greatly solemn, to avoid the heavy and spiritless manner, which instead of calmly relieving and lifting up the heart, rather sinks it into a state of deprivation." We would have our organists pay serious attention to these remarks, and not allow their dexterity to get the upper hand of their better judgment. The organ is an instrument of dignity and expression—as such use it ; for, be assured, any other than the severe and grand is not only abuse of its powers, but shows a want of decent respect both for the sanctuary and the holy worship of our God. Musical Journal. A CHINESE PRisoN,—Persons who have money to spend can be accommodated with private apartments, cards, ser vants, and every luxury, in the prisons of the Celestial Em pire. The prisoners chains and fetters are removed frpm their bodies, suspended against the wall till the hour of biting the round occurs. After that ceremony is over, the fetters are again placed where they hurt nobody. But those who have not the means of bribing the keepers, are even in a more woful condition. Not only is every alleviation of their suffer ings removed, but actually infliction of punishment is added to extort money to buy burnt offerings of paper to the god of the gaol, as the phrase runs. For this purpose the prisoners are tied up, or rather hung up and flogged ; at night they are fettered to a board by the neck, wrists, and ancles, amidst ordure and filth, whilst the rats, unmolested, are permitted to knaw their limbs ! This place of torments is proverbially called, in ordinary speech, Teynck—a term equivalent to the worst of sense of the word hell. PETROLEUM OIL WELL. — About ten years since, while boring for salt water, near Burksville, Kentucky. after pene trating through solid rock upwards of two hundred feet, a fountain of pure oil was struck, which was thrown up more than twelve feet above the surface of the earth. Although in quantity somewhat abated after the discharge of the first few minutes, during which it was supposed to emit seventy-five gallons a minute, it still continued to flow for several days successively. The well being on the margin and near the mouth of a small creek emptying into Cumberland river, the oil soon found its way thither, and for a long time covered its surface. Some gentlemen below applied a torch, when the surface of the river blazed, and the flames soon climbed the most elevated cliffs, and scorched the summit of the lof tiest trees. It ignites freely, and produces a flame as brilliant as gas. Its qualities were then unknown, but a quantity was barreled, most of which soon leaked out. It is so penetrating as to be difficult to confine in a wooden vessel, and has so much gas as frequently to burst bottles when filled and tightly corked. Upon exposure to the air, it assumes a greenish hue. It is extremely volatile, has a strong pungent, and in describable smell, and tastes much like the heart of pitch pine. For a short time after the discovery, a small quantity of the oil would flow whilst pumping the salt water, which led to the impression that it could always be drawn by pump ing. But all subsequent attempts to obtain it, except by a spontaneous flow, have entirely failed. There have been two such flows within the last two years. The last commenced on the 4th July last, and continued about six weeks, during which time about twenty barrels of oil were obtained. The oil, and the salt water, which are invariably combined during these flows, are forced up by the gas, above 200 feet, into the pump, and thence through the spout into a covered trough, when the water soon becomes disengaged and settles at the bottom, whilst the oil is readily skimmed at the surface. A rumbling noise resembling distant thunder, uniformly attends the flowing of the oil, whilst the gas which is then visible every day at the top of the pump, leads the passing stranger to inquire whether the well is on fire.--Silliman's Journal.

From abroad we have received only 2,770 quarters of Wheat and 2;820 barrels of Flour; but there have been released from bond, from the 30th ult. to the 7th instant in clusive, 8,020 quarters of Wheat and 12,928, barrels of Flour. The duty on these articles is now 20s 8d per quarter and 12s 5d per barrel respectively, which will, in all probability, place future arrivals under the Queen's locks. We have continued to experience a limited demand for Wheat, under which prices have further given way, those of the finer qualities of Foreign ud per bushel, whilst most of the secondary descriptions were, yesterday. offered at 3(1 per bushel below the quotations of this day se'nnight. A few small parcels of Irish sew Wheat that have arrived have been sold at reduced rates, red at 8s to 8s 6d per 70 lb., according to quality and condition. American and Canadian Flour must be noted 6d per barrel cheaper. New oats have brought 3s 3d to 3s 4d per 451b5., but the sale has not by any means been free. New Oatmeal, too, has gone off slowly at 28s to 20s per 2401b5. No alteration as regards old parcels of either article. Barley, items, and Peas as last noted. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT.
