priate speech of welcome : it contained no political allusion.

TRADE WITH RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

A VOLUMINOUS RETURN has just been published of
the Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdool
during the year 1854, an abstract of which we have
given in another column. It appears that a corn'
parison of the total imports and exports is as under
Imports £152,591,513.

Exports

Difference
When the question was debated as to the comparative
advantages of the trade with Russia, and that with
Turkey, too much stress was laid upon the value 0
the former, without taking into account the much
greater value of the latter. The subjoined statement
will show that the commerce with our Eastern ally
is of far more importance than that with our Northern
enemy :
Russia. Turkey and
Egypt.
Real value of Imports.... £4,252,288.... £5,575,237'
Exports of British Produce 54,301.... 4,011,958'
51 Foreign ~, 19,738.... 431,393'

Some allowance may of course be made for the
difference created by the war itself, but, it is well
known, that while the amount of our export trade t°
Russia has been sensibly diminishing, that to Turkey
has been rapidly increasing ; and will, no doubt, be
still further augmented when the shores of the Blol'
Sea are relieved from that dangerous influence 11
which they have so long been oppressed, in order to
gratify the aggressive designs of Russian iinPenal
policy.

EXTRAORDINARY CURE!

The daughter of James Hillage. of Vronheulog, Llanfihangel,
six miles from Llanfyllin, Carmarthenshire, was afflicted for a long
time with general debility, suffering from sick headache, langour,
vomiting, sinking at the pit of the stomach, and the thousand and
one other evils of a generally deranged system. She was under
medical treatment for a long time, but unfortunately was not be-
nefited thereby—and every other remedy failed. The father then
put her through a course of Holloway's Pills, and after perse-
vering for a short time according to the directions, the bloom of
health again appeared upon her countenance, and she was com-
pletely cured, to the astonishment of all who knew her.

Holloway's Pills are the best remedy known in the world for the
following diseases:—
Ague Dysentery Piles
Asthma Erysipelas Rheumatism [Evil.
Bilious Complaints Fevers of a 1 lkind s Scrofula, or King's
Blotches on the Skin Fits Sore Throats
Bowel Complaints Gout Stone and Gravel
Colics Head-ache Tic-Douloureux
Constipation of the Indigestion Tumours
Bowels Inflammation Ulcers
Consumption Jaundice Worms of all kinds
Debility Liver complaints Weakness, from
Dropsy Lumbago whatevercause, &c

PRODUCE.—The Sugar market opened with a dull
aspect, and the trade have shown little disposition to
purchase, and few sales have been effected. In Coffee,
a steady trade has been 'done, without leading to a
change in prices. For Molasses lower rates 'have been
accepted, and but little has been done in Cocoa or
Spices. Tea has met with only a slight demand,
although some of the scented kinds met purchasers.
To-DAY the inquiry for Sugar continued very limited,
the sales being confined to 65 hhds. Demerara at
425, 20 hhds. Antigua at -445, and 20 hhds. 35 brls.
Porto Rico at 45s to 47s 6d per cwt. Nothing has
occurred in Molasses, Rum, or Coffee, The business
concluded in Tea has been small, and prices are with-
out change. 700 bags broken Bengal Rice are re-
ported at 13s 9d, and 60 tierces Carolina at 30s per
cwt. Of Saltpetre, 100 bags have been disposed of at
36s per cwt. for 5 per cent. refraction. Of the Rape-
seed offered by auction, 700 bags with all faults found
buyers, at about previous rates.
Woom.—We have no new feature to notice in-the
wool market this week ; the demand for low foreign
wools.of most descriptions is pretty brisk, and prices
firm, with very limited stocks of most sorts. Our
public sales are fixed to commence on the 15th instant,
when about 10,000 bales of sundry descriptions will be
brought forward, consisting of about 7,000 bales East
India, and:3,ooo low foreign wools; and, in the inte-
rim, we do not expect any large amount of business
will be done, Imports for the week :-2,575 ballots
Peruvian, 424 bales East India, 776 Australian, 267

THE FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.

The English Funds showed increased heaviness, and re-
ceded 2 per cent. in later hours. The decline of all confidence
in the acceptance of the Vienna propositions, and the pros-
pects of a fresh loan, chiefly influenced the fall. Railways
inactive, and, though heavy in tone, are little altered. In
Land, Bank, and Foreign Stocks, few transactions. Turkish

[JANUARY 8, 1856:

a Conservative Premier, in order to drown the recol•
lection of their backslidings. They would willinglY
return to the paths they have forsaken, if the oppor•
tunity were afforded them ; and, therefore, whatever
turn affairs may take, we do not anticipate any serious
opposition from them.

It would be as well for the real interests of the
country if the Conservatives paid more attention than
they have hitherto done to their own position, and the
duty which is expected of them as the natural leaders
of public opinion. The country is essentially Collect,.
vative, whatever may be the assertions of Italie'
writers ; and though it has become too much the
fashion, in modern times, to make political changes
.
the result of popular agitation, such influence shalt'
not always be waited for. The leaders in both house'
of the Legislature should not rely upon a pressure
from without, but give the full weight of their own
power to accomplish the desired change. Abundoo
opportunity will be afforded them in Ministerial
weakness, particularly on the important subject of the
national finances ; and when the appeal is made to
the country, by a dissolution of Parliament, there c3°
be very little doubt as to the result.

PERILOUS CONDITION OF THE WALLASEY EMBANKMENT

On the motion for the appointment of the Commis-
sioners of the Wallasey Embankment, Mr. Samuel Holme
called attention to the great danger which the embankment
had of late sustained from severe gales, accompanied by high
tides. The damage resulting from this cause last quarter it
would take upwards of £B,OOO to repair. The total amount
of rates which the commissioners were enabled to levy
amounted to £3,000 only per annum. The commissioners
bad had to incur a debt of nearly £4,000 at the bank, the
result of the damage done in one year alone, and more than
half the rates which they were entitled to raise during the
next year had already been disposed of. Under these circum-
stances, and considering the rapid decay of the foreshore from
the incursions of the sea, he urged that the Dock Committee,
who were owners of a large amount of property on the other
side of the river, should unite with the Corporation in the
erection of a sea-wall, beginning at Seacombe, and ending at
Hoylake, a distance of about eight miles, which would cost
about £400,000 or £500,000. The appointments were then
filled up as follows :—The Mayor and Messrs. Hornby and
Samuel Holme.

Forty-one members of the Council were then appointed
commissioners, under the acts relating to the churches of St.
Paul and St. John. The members were re•elected ; except
Mr. John Aikin, appointed in the place of Mr. Arthur Hen-
derson ; Mr. Farnworth in place of Mr. W. J. Horsfall ; and
Mr. John Lawrence, in place of Mr. J. M. Wood. The gen-
tlemen who had served last year as commissioners to inspect,
audit, and adjust the accounts of the Trustees of the
Liverpool Docks, under the Dock Acts, and the appointment
of commissioners under the Income and Property Tax Acts,
were re-elected.

NEW MUSIC.

Cathedral Chimes, and The Gondola. By Albert

Lindahl.

We do not know Albert Lindahl ; but we have two
of his compositions before us, from the house of
Cramer, Beale, and Co., of a very high character—
" The Gondola," and " Cathedral Chimes," both for
the pianoforte. " All was silent and still, when sud-
denly, in the distance, there were heard the low tones
of .a flute, whose sounds accorded so harmoniously
with the mild rays of the moon, that it might have
been imagined that the music was its beams, which
thus melodiously fell upon the earth," is the motto
prefixed to " The Gondola ;" and it embodies exactly
the character of its music, which is extremely
beautiful, it having " a dying fall, that comes o'er
the ear like the sweet south breathing o'er beds of
violets." It is very delightful to listen to. The
" Cathedral Chimes" is a more ambitious, but an
equally successful effort. Who has not loved to listen
to the carillons played upon the bells of any of our
minsters ; whether they strike the ear amidst the
glare of day, or come stealing upon us in the silent
hours of the night ?

Then most musical and solemn, bringing back the olden times,
With their strange unearthly changes, rang I he melancholy chimes;
Like the psalms from some old cloister, when the nuns sing in
the choir,
And the great bell toll'd among them, like the chantingof a friar.
Thus sung Longfellow ; and, in the music of Albert
Lindahl, we find all the ideas here suggested, except
that of melancholy ; Jessica was " always melancholy
when she heard sweet music." Such strains have not
that effect on us. A delightful feeling of resignation,
peace, and hope, is inspired in our minds, the very
reverse of melancholy. Such feelings " The Cathedral
Chimes" are well calculated to produce ; they sink
into the heart, and remain there. A more charming
artistic composition we have not heard for some time.
It should be in the music Porte feuille of every body.
