the police, were charged with being concerned in the recent

They had been apprehended at Cardiff, the greater portion of
the missing plate being in the possession of the two former,

her while the others were ransacking the place. They were
remanded until to-day.

CORPORATION OFFICES, CORNWALLIS-STREET.

A recommendation of the special committee appointed on
the subject of the removal of the Public-offices from Cornwal-
lis-street, gave rise to some discussion. It was proposed to
build new offices on the land at the back part of the old Sara-
cen's-head, the cost of the land being estimated at between
£5,000 and £6,000, and the total interest on the cost of the
erections at not more than £BOO or £9OO. It was stated that,
if the plans of the committee were adopted, the land fronting
Dale-street would be occupied by shops. In the course of the
conversation, Mr. LANGSDALE (chairman of the Health Com-
mittee) stated that, with an outlay of £2,000, the present
offices might be made to answer every purpose, and that, for
ventilation and accommodation, they were the best public
offices in the town. (Hear, hear.)
At this stage of the proceedings,
The MAYOR announced that he had received another tele-
graphic communication from the Town-clerk, to the effect that
the. bill (Town-dues Abolition) was printed, that it was neces-
sary, to take immediate action, and that he required the presence
of some of the officials in London.
Under these circumstances, Mr. Hornby agreed to the re-
commendation as to the Public-offices being referred back for
further consideration. _

The Coroner's monthly account, amounting to £55 2s. 6d.,
was passed.
A letter from the Right Hon. W. L. Bathurst, inclosing an
order in Council applying the provisions of " The Summary
Procedure on Bills of Exchange Act, 1855," to the Court of
Passage, was referred to the Finance Committee, as was a
memorial from ratepayers in Vauxhall Ward, praying that a
new road might be made between Leeds-street and Great
Howard-street, by the removal of the old Borough Gaol.
This terminated the proceedings, and the Council adjourned.

ALLEGED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN

ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
The Paris correspondent of the 'Post writes ---" There are
two false statements-which have gone-the round of the conti-
nental press. It has been stated that the' governments of
France and England are not agreed on the questions to be
mooted at the congress. Such is not the case. If there be
any difference whatever between the two cabinets, it is simply
reduced to this : the Emperor's advisers were addressed in the
first instance by Austria, and the ultimatum came through
Paris. Her Majesty's government then agreed with that of
the Emperor on what terms the interests of Europe could be
secured against the designs of Russia. Hitherto the action of
the allies—that is, France and England—has been perfectly
unanimous ; and if the envoys exercise the same union and
decision which has hitherto characterized the proceedings of
their respective governments, there can be no doubt as to re-
sults. I beg to draw your attention to this assertion, because
the enemies of the Anglo-French alliance are singularly active
just now in promulgating mysterious assertions."

GENERAL DEBILITY.-ILL HEALTH.

Many of the most despotic governments have opened their
Custom-houses to the introduction of these Pills, that they may
become the medicine of the masses. Learned Colleges admit that
this medicine is the best remedy ever known for persons of deli-
cate health, or where the system has been impaired, as itsinvi-
gorating properties never fail to afford relief.

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 15.—1 n the beef market there is increased
anxiety shown by holders of middling and ordinary descriptions
to press sales ex ship. and prices, in consequence, have again
receded for such qualities, whilst a really fine article finds buyers
at full rates. A parcel of new western pork, landed this week,
sells at our quotations. As supplies increase lower prices seem
inevitable. Bacon, being now in larger supply, has declined 11 to
Sa per cat., and there is every indication of a still further reduc-
tion. Lard, under the pressure of the late arrivals, has given way
4s to 6s per cwt. At this decline some holders made a stand.
For cheese theie is a steady demand, and present rates seem
likely to be maintained.

FEB. IL—There is no material change to notice of the butter
market since our last. Business to a fair amount was transacted
during the past week at full prices. The supply is moderate and
stocks diminish. Waterford, &c., choice qualities scarce at 106 s
to 108 s, Kilkenny, Wexford, and Clonmel, 1055 to 106 s, Sligo and
Limerick, 88s to 1025 per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland
from the 9th to the 15th instant, both inclusive, 6,025 firkins,
106 kegs, 350 crocks, 270 boxes, 27 barrels butter; 218 bales

IlomowAy's Pms.—Mr. Andrew Dawson, of Melbourne,
was a constant sufferer from indigestion : no matter what he ate,
the difficulty of digesting it always the same, for which he con-
sulted many of the medical profession, and tried remedy after re-
medy without attaining any benefit whatever. Being nearly dis-
pirited with continual suffering, lie was advised to try Holloway's
Pills; he did so, and adhered to the diet recommended with the
directions ; thus, he has so strengthened the tone of his stomach,
and increased his appetite, that he can now indulge in any kind
of animal or other food without the least inconvenience.

SABBATH-DAY RECREATIONS,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SlR,—Observing a desire on the part of some benevolent,
and no doubt conscientious, persons to promote the relaxation
and, at the same time, instruction and imprOvement of the
masses, by enticing them to listen to performances on
our noble organ at St. George's-hall, on Sundays, it hai oc-
curred to my mind, if full cathedral service was celebra'ed
there, admission free, it would attract those who never visit
our churches, and would bring them under the sound of the
Gospel, and lead to much good, if our most popular ministers
would take it in turns to give their services, with a suitable
discourse. S. C, W.

"OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION.

" Her Majesty's government have received the following
telegraphic despatch from Sir H. Seymour :
" "The Russian government accept the Austrian proposals
as a basis for negotiations.' "
Reading this, the English here seem to believe quite as
firmly as the French that peace is very close at hand : never-
less all cry out for a force to be left in the Crimea to hold
Kamiesch and Balaklava and the plateau in front of Sebasto-
pol. We must not holloa till we are out of the wood. During
the present week an armistice was again much talked of ; but,
nothwithstanding this, and the snow and bitter winds, both
French and English have ignored the probability of a truce,
and worked harder than ever in Sebastopol. The docks may
be now considered as altogether demolished—another "blow

up" has come off—and the last ship remaining to Russia has
also again been attacked.

ATTEMPTED CAPTURE OF A RUSSIAN
STEAMER.

Tuesday night was the darkest of the dark. For some time
past a Russian steamer has been seen under the north shore op-
posite Fort St. Nicholas : indeed, this vessel has remained there
since the fall of the city, tantalising the Allies, who naturally
wished to cut her out, or destroy her. An attack made some
time since failed: So did the attempt on Tuesday. A few French
pontonniers then succeeded in getting pretty close to the
steamer, an hour before midnight ; but the Russians soon dis-
covered their presence, lit up the deck with torches, and
opened a heavy and effective fire on the French, who were un-
fortunately beaten off, and their boats so riddled with shot
that they scarcely carried them back to the south shore,
where, indeed, more than one sank. But no lives were lost,
and but one of our gallant Allies was wounded, a poor fellow
whose arm was shot away.

BLOWING UP OF FORT ST. NICHOLAS.

Details are given of the explosion of Fort St. Nicholas.
The two extremities were first blown up, and the effect of the
rising smoke was very peculiar. A series of explosions fol-
lowed, and the work of destruction was completed. The fort
had disappeared, and in its place was a low flat bank of grey
ruin. The Russians fired less after the explosion than they
did before. The quantity of powder used in the French mine
is said to have exceeded the quantity destroyed in the explo-
sion of the French left siege train.

THE NEW LOAN.

The Times expresses its surprise at the very small amount
of the loan, but a loan of only five millions will certainly
entail the necessity of a loan of ten millions, or more, before
the close of the session. The calculation-probably is that by
the tune all the instalments of this loan are paid in peace will
be proclaimed. Our army will be on the way back, our fleets
paid off, and consols be near par. In that case the sixteen
millions will certainly be obtained on easier terms than just
now. The smallness of the stun at present wished for, and
the rapidity with which the instalments are to be paid,
prove the imminence and amount of the next appeal that will
1* made to the money world.

The Times has a leader on the urgent necessity of improved
postal communications with Australia.

master, Samuel Fletcher, and 15 seamen of the late Polyphe-
mus ship, who were in the two boats, have been saved by a
Danish vessel, and have just arrived from Hgerting. They
will go in charge of the chief engineer, Mr. Wood, with the
other men, to London."

The Danish government have issued instructions to their
postmasters to confiscate all letters not registered. The
amount asked by the Danish government to capitalise the
sound dues is 63,000,000 dollars.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

MONDAY.
The Committee of Privileges sat to-day at 2 o'clock in the
case of the Wensleydale peerage. Further evidence was handed
in respecting old life patents.
Lord LYNDHURST inquired whether the Lord Chancellor
required any further searches.
The LORD CHANCELLOR replied that no objection would be
raised by him with regard to the searches, but he begged to
state that he had on that morning received a letter from the
Deputy-Keeper of the Rolls in Ireland, stating that there had
been granted in that country a later peerage for life than any
that had been laid before their lordships, and he might, of
course, require the production of that patent.
Lord LYNDHURST gave notice that at the next committee
he would move a resolution to the effect that, having con-
sidered the patent conferring a peerage for life on Sir James
Parke, the committee were of opinion that such patent did not
entitle the grantee to sit or vote in parliament.
The committee was adjourned till 5 o'clock on Friday, and
their lordships having resumed, the sitting of the house was
suspended till five o'clock.
The house resumed at five o'clock. On the motion of Lord
REDESDALB, a resolution was passed that no private bills be
read a second time after the Bth of July.
The EARL of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from the
native and British merchants of Singapore, praying for protec-
tion against piracy in the Indian seas.
The Vice-President of the Committee on Education Bill,
the House of Commons Offices Bill, and the Metropolitan
Police Bill passed through Committee.
The house adjourned at 5.60 p.m.

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 15.—1 n the beef market there is increased
anxiety shown by holders of middling and ordinary descriptions
to press sales ex ship. and prices, in consequence, have again
receded for such qualities, whilst a really fine article finds buyers
et full rates. A parcel of new western pork, landed this week,
sells at our quotations. As supplies increase lower prices seem
inevitable. Bacon, being now in larger supply, has declined 21 to
Ss per cwt., and there is every indication of a still further reduc-
tion. Lard. under the pressure of the late arrivals, has liven way
is to 6s per cwt. At this decline some holders made a stand.
For cheese there is a steady demand, and present rates seem
likely to be maintained.

FEB. 16.—There is no material change to notice of the butter
market since our last. Business to a fair amount was transacted
during the past week at full prices. The supply is moderate and
stocks diminish. Waterford, &c., choice q scarce at 106 s
108 s, Kilkenny, Wexford, and Clonmel, 105sualities to 1068, Sligo and
Limerick, 98s to 102 s per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland

SUICIDE OF MR. SADLEIR, MP.

The body of Mr. J. Sadleir, M.P., was found on. Sunda'
morning on Hampstead-heath, at a considerable distance from
the public-road. A .large bottle, labelled " Essential oil 0
bitter almonds," and a silver cream jug, both of which c°,,,,.11:
tamed a small quantity of the poison, lay by his side. lt°
body was at once removed to the workhouse, where it
.%
seen by Dr. Nichol a few minutes afterwards. A powerful
odour of bitter almonds was perceptible at the mouth, so, tha
there can be no doubt he died from the effects of this po°.
He had, probably, lain on the spot where he was found durioll
the greater part of the night, as the body was quite cold, en
the rigor mortis completely established.
It appears that Mr. Sadleir left his house (11, Gloncestet'
square, Hyde-park) about half-past eleven o'clock on Satards,.
night, and as yet nothing further has been ascertained respect
ing his movements.
Mr. Sadleir formerly practised as a solicitor in Dublin vritli
great success, and enjoyed a high professional reputation. 11/
1847 he entered parliament as member for Carlow, and sat for
that borough until the dissolution in 1852. Upon the acces,
sion of Lord Aberdeen to the Premiership Mr, Sadleir_M
offered, and accepted, office as a Lord of the Treasury, and "-
continued a member of the administration for some month'
In 1843 he became chairman of the London and County Joint'
Stock Banking Company, and for several years presided 1,
the affairs of that body with great ability. A few months
since he vacated the chair, and, though his connexion with tia!,,
company continued, he took no active part in its business. 11'1

LITERATURE.

W. R. C.

Popular History of the Palms and their Allies.
By Berthold Seeman, Ph. D. London : Reeve.

The object of this very interesting volume is to give
to the world a complete view of the natural history
and numerous economical uses of the various species
of the palm tribe, and that object is very fully accom-
plished in the elaborate and tastefully-compiled volume
under consideration. Its author is a botanist of repu-
tation, and his name is sufficient guarantee for the
scientific accuracy of the treatise ; while his opportu-
nities of personal investigation, afforded in his voyage
round the world in H.M.S. " Herald," confer on his
remarks a degree of authentication not always to be met
with in books of the class to which this one professes
to belong. To extensive personal observation, our
author adds wide research among the works of those
who are acknowledged as authorities on the subject;
and these he freely avails himself of, and candidly
acknowledges their value.
He is eloquent upon the numerous, or almost innu-
merable, uses to which the various portions and
different kinds of palm are applied in savage and in
civilised life. These uses have been frequently
descanted on by travellers, and they have formed the
theme of many a poet's lay, but they have seldom
been placed in so conspicuous and picturesque a light
as they are presented to us in the annexed catalogue
of the

PERSIA.

Letters from Persia state that Dost Mahommed was close
upon Herat. The Shah had mustered an army to oppose him.
Hitherto the Afghans had had the best of it. Selim Pasha
was sending all European officers from Erzeroum. The main
body of the Russians had retired from Kars, taking all the
guns with them. The road to Gumri is said to be quite open,
despite-snow.

AUSTRALIA.

By the steamer Magdalena, which arrived at Southampton
on Saturday, we have received, via Callao and Panama, files
of Australian journals, containinc, intelligence from Mel-
bourne to the 20th of November, Sydney" to the 14th, Adelaide
to the 13th.
The price of gold at Melbourne has declined, being quoted
at £3 14s. 6d.
The banks placed the rate of exchanges with England at
par, on the 19th of November.
The closing price of flour, on the 17th of November, at Gee-
long, was £49 to £5O per ton for Chilian. Business there was
rapidly improving.
At Adelaide flour was rising in price on the 13th of Nov.,
and is quoted at £55 to £6O.
From Sydney our advices are to the 14th of November.
Little was doing in the House. The Steam Postal Bill hav-
ing passed through committee may be considered as already
on the statute-book. The sum of £20,000 has been inserted
as the contribution of New South Wales towards a general
line for all Australia; but it is to be gathered from what the
Solicitor-General said, that this contribution will only be paid
towards a line of steamers yid Torres Straits, and that there
will be no co-operation for one via Singapore and Melbourne.

THE PACIFIC.
The advices from Valparaiso are to the Ist ult. Everything
was peaceful. The extra session of Congress had been closed.
The Valparaiso and Santiago Railway had advanced in length.
The railroad proposed from Santiago to Talca, 200 miles, had
been preliminarily commenced. Agriculture was prosperous.
The yield of the mines for the year had not been as large as
former years, excepting in copper. The new Custom-house
valuation of merchandise imported would take effect on the
Ist. On Christmas-day, Valparaiso was visited by a distress-
ing fire. It was near the San Francisco church, away from
the sea. Water was therefore scarce, and the houses being
frame buildings mostly, the flames made rapid progress. The
engines of the city laboured most assiduously. The captains
of ships of war, English, French, and American, sent men on
shore promptly and generously, to aid in checking the flames.
Ten or twelve edifices, however, were destroyed. And a more
distressing fact is the loss of five or six lives of foreign seamen
or citizens, who exposed themselves bravely to danger, in
order to arrest the devouring element. A new treaty had
been formed with the United States. Freights :—For Ham-
burg : Hamburg brig Henriette, with saltpetre from Iquique,
£5. For Liverpool: British barque Wreath, copper ores from
Tocopilla, £4 17s. 6d. ; British ship City of Kandy, copper
ores from Caldera, £4 155.; British barque Ursula, silver and
copper ores from Calderl, and saltpetre from Iquique, £4 ss.
The advices from Porn contain little news. Public feeling
against Castillo appeared to be gaining ground, and it was
thought Echinique would be recalled. From Ecuador we have
nothing worth noticing.
