THE RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FLEET.

A letter from Inkerman of the 7th, in the Presse d' Orient,
says :—"Preparations are now being made for the total de-
struction of the Russian vessels sunk in the harbour of Sebas-
topol. This operation, some persons say, will be performed
by throwing very heavy shells, so that they shall drop perpen-
dicularly on the vessels, and, by bursting, knock the vessels to
pieces. These vessels, however, must be by this time half
destroyed by, the sea worm, the teredo navalis, which is pe-
culiar to the Black Sea. In order to give an idea of the
ravages committed by this little insect, I may mention the case
of the English steamer Gertrude, which has never quitted the
Black Sea since the commencement of the war. She has been
employed in the service of the port for the daily wants of the
army. The captain lately received orders to return to Eng-
land, but he replied that, in consequence of the. ravages made
by this worm on his vessel, she was not in a fit state to under-
take the voyage. This insect finds its way between the cop-
per and the bottoms of the vessels, and then eats into the
wood. The English have sought a remedy for the evil, and
have made experiments on the Caradoc, the Banshee, and the
Telegraph. One side of their bottoms has been covered with
a kind of gum, and the other left in its usual state. After a
certain time the latter part was covered with a layer of what
resembled moss, and the vessels answered their helm better on
one side than on the other. These experiments, however, were
not complete, as the above vessels have not remained con-
stantly in the Black Sea.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

grown kinds, evidently shows that the growth is unequal to
the consumption, and the high value in the Mediterranean
ports prove, that the demand there is of a more lucrative
nature from other countries, thus diminishing the hope of
supply here, and placing at a discount all expectation. If a
glance be taken at the heavy consumption at home, and the
impetus given to the export trade by the reduction of duty in
France, it is apparent that imports at the same ratio, as of
late, are quite inadequate to meet the requirements. The
most far seeing are puzzled as to where the future supplies are
to come from, and what the probable value will be three
months hence. In our opinion the recent advances obtained
are but the foretaste of very high rates, and it would not
cause us very much surprise to find the extreme value of 1853
exceeded before the next English clip commences.

Messrs, W. GREAME and Co. in their circular say :

The activity prevailing in the wool market at the date of
our last report has continued throughout the past month, and
on some descriptions of both foreign and domestic wools a
further advance has been obtained, this remark applies more
particularly to long stapled wools suitable for combing pur-
poses, upon which there has been a marked improvement.
Spanish frontier, Lisbon, and the better qualities of Peruvian
and Buenos Ayres, have been much inquired for, but in the
almost total absence of stocks of these descriptions quotations
are in some measure nominal. Some small sales have been
made in East India wools by private contract at an advance
of -id to tici per lb. on auction rates ; in Donskoi fleece there
have been some considerable transactions, but stocks are only
of a medium quality, and we cannot quote any improvement
in prices ; these wools nnd the lower qualities of Turkey,
Smyrna, Crimea, &c., have not, as yet, participated in the
general improvement. The public sales of Australian wools
commenced in London on the 15th ultimo at an advance of
2d per lb. on the closing price of the last series; up to this
time they are progressing favourably, and the advance may
now he quoted 2d to 3d per lb. on the average of the October
and November sales, about 40,000 bales are announced for this
series.

WooL.—During the past week there has been
nothing of any moment to report in the Wool
market, with the exception of an increased inquiry for
all descriptions of good, long stapled, and fine Wools.
The public sales in London are still progressing very
favourably-. Imports for the week, 1,590 bales Peru-
vian ; 151, Mediterranean ; 57, Irish ; 16, Coastwise.
Total, 1,814 bales.

CURE OF 29 YEARS' ASTHMATIC COUGH.

Middleton, near Manchester.
Sta,-1 am now 44 years of age, and I have been afflicted with
an asthmatic cough since 1 was a boy of fifteen years of age;
during that time 1 have resorted to every means in my power to
remove it, but in vain, until last Sunday, when I sent for a small
box of Dr. Locock'a Wafers. I have taken two boxes since, and
from the effects they have had upon me, I feel no doubt of a speedy
recovery. G. STRINGER.
Witness—M. Lynch, Chemist, Market-street.

RAPID CURE OF ASTHMA OF :4 YEARS' STANDING.

From Mr. J. E. Bignell,•Hopyleadßoad, Wednesbury, and ad-

dressedto Ladbury, there.

Sine—When I had the first box of Dr. Locock's Wafers from
you. 1 was labouring under one of those attacks of asthma to
which I have been subject new for about 14 years. I have had
the best medical advice the neighbourhood could afford, including
two physicians at Birmingham, and one at Wolverhampton, but
with no success. My breathing was so very difficult that I ex-
pected every inspiration to be my last ; as for steep, that was im-
possible, and had been so for several weeks.
The first dose (only two small wafers) gave me great relief—the
second more so—in short, the first box laid the groundwork for
the cure, which only four boxes have effected, and I am now quite
well. (Signed) J. E. BIONELL.

IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING.

From Mr. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist of

St. Peter's‘Citholic Church, Leamington.

Gentlemen,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxation
of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various pre-
parations; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr.
Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I ant now but seldom obliged to re-
sort to them, for the extraordinary good effects they have produced
are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be com-
pletely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three
(at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, com-
pletely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a
mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude
after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty
to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons
will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of
it. EDWARD PAGE.

To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as in
a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power
and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.

THE PEACE CONFERENCES.

THE conference at Paris of two representatives of
each of the six Powers—England, France, Turkey,
Russia, Austria, and Sardinia—is continued,but nothing
can of course be known as to the state of the nego-
tiations, notwithstanding the rumours which have
been current as to differences between the English
Ministers and an alleged proposal to refer the question
of limitation of territory to a Congress of all the
European Powers. It must be evident that whatever
may be the position of affairs, nothing would be
allowed to be divulged until it had received the
sanction of the whole body ; but, at the same time,
it is but natural that speculation should be rife upon
probabilities, and ingenious suppositions take the
place of authentic information. However great the
anxiety upon a question which concerns all Europe,
we must be content to wait a little time longer, and
our patience will not be very severely taxed, as the
armistice which has been signed is only to the last
day of this month, and only applies to land forces,
so that, should the representatives of the Western
Powers adhere steadily to the conditions pre-deter-
mined on, Russia will be compelled to give a definitive
assent or refusal to the proposals for peace. It
appears, however, to be the prevailing opinion that
Russia has suffered so much from the last campaign
as to be desirous for peace for her own safety rather
than anxious for terms which may favour her future
policy. We are amply prepared for a continuance of
the war, while Russia is not, and therefore we may
confidently abide the result of the negociations,
conscious that, whilst we may gain from a return to
peace, Russia will be a very heavy loser by a contrary
course.

that the present position of the wool trade is attributable to
the prospects of all immediate peace. This is not the fact, the
scanty arrivals and empty warehouses attest a different view,

proportion to the receipts than usual. The scarcity, which is

INFIDELITY INEXCUSABLE. ONE GOD :
Infinite in Power, Wisdom, and Goodness. Proved by His

"This is a very welf.written, closely-reasoned, and able argu-

of the writer, and will well repay an attentive perusal."—Morning
Post.

;;in its rapid survey of the wonders of Nature, it gives evidence
of a well-stored mind, whilst the inferences which the author
deduces, both from the marvels of the universe and the doctrines
of Revelation, are expressed in terms which leave no doubt of the
purity of his intentions and the sincerity of his advocacy."—
Atkenaum.

by proofs independent of Revelation, and subsequently by evidence
derived from Holy Writ, and thus demonstrates what its title im-
plies, that the infidel is without excuse."'—John Bell.

THURSDAY.

Petitions were presented against opening the British
Museum and other places of amusement on Sundays, by
PeeL, from Tollington Townend, near Bury, Lancashire'
against the Counties and Boroughs Police Bill, by Mr. Acton'
from the Town Council of the Borough of Wigan; and
Mr. L. Davies, from the parishioners of Llangunllo, and
also from the parishes of Pembryn, and Bettevs, Cardi-
ganshire, praying that the enactment authorising the removal
of St. David's College from Lampeter should be repealed, an
that the endowment of St. David's College be increased by the
addition of funds accruing from tithes in the counties of Car'
marthen, Cardigan, and Radnor, applicable to such an institir
tion.

In reply to a question, Sir G. GREY said, he hoped at all
early day to be able to introduce the bill for the reform of the
Corporation of the City of London.
LOCAL DUES ON SHIPPING.—Mr. GIBSON observed that
it had been stated by the government the other night, that it
was desirable to have a select committee to inquire how the
principle of this bill could be applied to particular cases, 01
reference to which it might be difficult to come to• a decision
in the whole house. He wished to ask the noble lord at the
head of the government when the committee would be al?
pointed ?—Lord PALMERSTON replied that he would give
notice early next week on the subject.
THE CRIMEAN COMMISSION.—In reply to a question b 1
Mr. Stanley, Lord PALMERSTON said—On a former evenili°,
I said that the general practice with regard to courts of tb°,
kind was, that the inquiry should be conducted with closed
doors. This inquiry, however, is of so peculiar a nature that
it is the intention of the government that it should be taken
with open doors, reserving, however, to the commissioners tha',
discretion which must properly belong to them of conducting
any particular part of it with closed doors. That is a discre-
tion which I am sure the court will not exercise without the
fullest and most satisfactory reasons. With regard to the se'
coed part of the hon. member's question, the commissioners
have no power of administering an oath. They are not a court-
martial under the Mutiny Act, and no military court otherwise
composed can examine upon oath unless specially empowered
so to do by act of Parliament.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

EREBROUM, JAN. 29.—A French merchant has just arrived
here from Tiflis, by the way of Alexandropol and Kars. It
appears certain that the Russians are preparing to invest our
city in the spring. They are already occupied in disciplining
the Armenian and Georgian levies. The regular army of the
Caucasus consists at present of about 80,000 men. Of these,
10,000 are stationed so as to serve as a protection against
Schamyl, 10,000 watch the army of Omar Pacha, and the re-
maining 50,000 are close to our frontier, under the command
of General Mouravieff. In addition to these forces, they will
have in the spring 20,000 new troops, more or less disciplined.
We hear at least that we are to have here an English army of
30,000 foot and 10,000 horse. It is reported that this force
will be under the command of Sir Colin Campbell. It is toler-
ably certain that the Egyptian troops to be sent here will
amount to 30,000 men. We hear that for some days past
strong Russian detachments were seen in the neighbourhood
of Olte, sixteen hours' journey distant from here. Their inten-
tion is, perhaps, to get possession of the stores of corn in the
district.

THE BALTIC.
Ads ices from Copenhagen of Sunday last state that the
Great Belt is free from ice.

KIEL, Feb. 23.
Intelligence has been received bytelegraphthis morning that
the English fleet may be immediately expected here. Already
considerable activity is displayed in getting ready for their re-
ception; and as we have now fine spring weather, with the
thermometer at 40, all is in their favour. The jetties for land-
ing along the shore of the bay, which had been removed while
the ice rendered them of little service, are now being replaced,
and the inhabitants are looking forward with pleasure to a
renewal of their intercourse with the fleet, from which many
derive much pleasure and satisfaction, and not a few consider.
able profit and advantage. There is a degree of intimacy
between the English and the people of Holstein which is quite
unknown in their connexion with their fellow-subjects,
there.

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL FEB. 29.—The sales of beef for the week are
again over the average extent, and the tone of the market is more
assured, partly in consequence of the continued accounts of short
Packing, but it is difficult to convince the trade on this pnint, see-
ing that the arrivals exceed those of last year. The market for
pork, owing to the want of supply, is tolerably steady; but with
increased arrivals, lower rates must be anticipated. Bacon is
s.:ell cleared off at last week's prices, and the quality of this year's
cure continues to give great satisfaction. There is a fair con-
sumptive demand for lard, and the week's sales reached nearly
100 tons, chiefly at easier prices. Cheese, since the auction, has
remained quiet; prices steady.

STEEL ENGEA.VING.—Our attention has been drawn to an
exquisite specimen of minute engraving, which may be unques-
tionably regarded as the very acme of perfection in this beautiful
art. It is the production of those eminent artists Perkins, Bacon,
and Co., and comprises, within an incredibly brief space, a number
of designs of the most varied, chaste, and beautiful character,
including an embossed profile of our beloved sovereign, with the
name of an article of deservedly high repute among the fashionable
world. When we add that this admirable production of the
graver is intended for the protection agtii-ci2t counterfeits of
ItowLAND's MACASSAR Ott., we feel that we have stated enough
to interest our readers in a specimen so admirable in itself, and
so perfectly adapted to guard the public against fraud and
imposition.

CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, MAtt. 3.—We had a slow sale for cattle and
sheep, and even at lower prices few purchases were effected ; and
at the close of the market a number of cattle remained unsold.

2,254 ; sheep, 6,446.
SA LFORD, FEB. 27.—At to-day's market the supply of beasts
was large, and the quality tolerably good. Although last week's
prices were obtained, the beef trade was not brisk, nor was a
clearance made. There was a good show of sheep, which changed
hands at late rates. A few were left unsold. Of calves the supply
was large, and a decline of nearly id per lb. was submitted to.
Prices : beasts, 4id to 6i ; sheep, 6d to 74. Number of beasts,
1,312 ; sheep, 6,214 ; calves, 232.
DUBLIN, FEB. 28.—The market was rather smaller than that
of last week. Beef was tin, but not higher. Mutton advanced
4a per lb. Veal steady Was well as pork, of which there was a
large supply. Beef, in sink, 50s to 5Gs ; top lots, Hs; single
