TO OUR READERS.

WE this day present our readers with the first number
of a SUPPLEMENT, which will be continued weekly,
and shall be glad to receive such contributions on
the various subjects to which it is devoted, as may
tend to increase its attractions and its usefulness.

The Supplement, though presented with each number
Of THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, will be altogether
distinct from the latter in the nature of its contents ;
and its pages from week to week will be consecu-
tively numbered, so that, with Title-page and Index,
it may be separately bound, at the end of the year,
into a volume complete in itself. It will contain
nothing of what is strictly called News, but its
columns will be devoted to LITERATURE, SCIENCE,
the FINEARTS, DOMESTIC ECONOMY, the FASHIONS,
GARDENING, and kindred subjects, combining amuse-
ment with instruction, so as to form a pleasant and
cheerful companion for the family circle.

The Royal Assent having been given to the Act for
the repeal of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers—on
and after TUESDAY next the price of
THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,
AND SUPPLEMENT,

In this age of cheapness, when competition is less for
excellency than for lowness of price, THE LIVER-
POOL STANDARD, AND SUPPLEMENT, will be found,
at its reduced charge, one of the cheapest news-
papers of the day.

FLANAGAN'S JEOLIAN HAT,
With Recent Improvements,
REGISTERED 6 AND 7 VIC., CAP. 65.
"An easy, pleasant fitting Hat, ventilated on a new and
correct principle."—Practical Mechanics' Journal.

The only Hat known, which combines a light, gentle-
manly appearance, with thorouqh ventilation, advantages
obtained by forming an air chamber immediately around
the head, permitting a current of air to pass imperceptibly
or without draught, from thence through and out at the
top of the flat; and the value of this principle is best ap-
preciated when walking, riding, and in all cases where
continued exercise renders the ordinary Hat both un-
healthy and cumbersome.

MOVEMENT ON THE TCHERNAYA.

KAILAICA, June I.—Matters on either front against Sebas-
topol and against the Tchernaya remain much as they were.
It is now a week since the movement in advance was made
from the Balaklava lines, and ever since that day the allied
troops have been arranging and completing their camps in the
new position ; fresh corps and detachments have been drawn
up, but no attempt has been made against the Russian lines
opposed to us. There is no saying how delicious the new
ground we have conquered is—how luxuriant its vegetation—
how bright its flowers—how pure and perfume-laden the air :
and even if the advance is not to be followed up for the present,
we have gained enough by quartering a large part of the army
on healthy soil, and procuring for the cattle a stock of fresh
grass, which is likely to last them at least a month. Whe-
ther or not an advance will be made is a matter of doubt.
The fact is, that the Sardinian, French, and Turkish troops
are entrenching their encampments along the whole line from
Kamara to Inkerman. The Tchernaya and its banks, and the
village of Tchorgoun, are for the present debateable ground,
under the fire of either of the two armies, and therefore less
free to the adventurous spirit of the marauding parties of Zou-
ayes and French light infantry, who, when off duty, either de-
scend to fetch water or bathe, or steal into Tchorgoun to ran-
sack the place for hidden treasures, of which, however, to this
day, none have been found.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1855-06-19

DREADFUL STATE OF SEBASTAPOL.

The correspondent of the Daily News, in reference to the
condition of the garrison, gives a fearful picture. On the 26th
ult. he writes—The Russians have been burying an unusual
number of dead on the north side the last few days. These
burial places on that side the harbour are exposed to our
view, and with a good glass not only the recent graves can
be distinguished, but also the parties at work excavating or
performing the last rites of sepulture. On the 28th he again
remarks—" The Russians are still observed to be very busy
about the graveyards on the north side of the harbour. At the
highest of the grave-fields—for the term grave-yards' is
hardly appropriate, as they are not enclosed—as many as seven
carts were observed to be standing at one time to-day. Several
parties also have been noticed making fresh graves." These,
he properly remarks, are not to funerals of soldiers killed in
battle, as they are almost invariably, buried where they fall ;
and his conjecture, which is more than merely feasible, is that
they are those of victims to disease, as well as to the cannon-
ade which has been poured upon the town.

In our SHAME-MARKET there has been less activity
during the past week, but the late advance has been
well maintained. A large amount of London, Leeds,
Midland, and other Stocks is being taken off the
mArlrpi, +big apttlamenf both icy the. puhlir wad by
speculators. Local Stocks continue very steady, with
the shares in them scarce. To-day our market is very
inactive, but the tone is firm, with a tendency to
improve. We annex prices business done :—Cale-
donians, 314 ; Eastern Counties, 12-} ; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 82 ; London Stock, 1031- -I ; Midland,Stock,
743; Copiapo Mine, sp.
COTTON.—The market during the week has been
quiet and inactive, all parties appearing resolved to
wait after the recent speculation, though with what
object it is not easy to define. The accounts from
America not only confirm the previous statements of
short supplies, but show the deficiencies to be still
greater ; and it is the prevailing opinion that the
supply will be inadequate to the demand. Spinners
must, however, be in good stock for the present, and,
though money is abundant, they withhold from fur-
ther purchases. The week's sales up to Friday
amounted to 38,710 bales, of which 17,060 were taken
on speculation, and 1,940 for export, leaving 19,710
for the trade. Prices are without change, and it is
expected that they will go higher. TO-DAY the
advices per the America were to hand with accounts
of still diminishing receipts, but they had little effect
on this market. The sales were 5,000 bales, including
500 on speculation and for export, and the market
closed quietly, without alteration in value. The fol-
lowing is a comparison of present rates with those of
the corresponding period of last year :

TO OUR READERS.

WE this day present our readers with the first number
of a SUPPLEMENT, which will be continued weekly,
and shall be glad to receive such contributions on
the various subjects to which it is devoted, as may
tend to increase its attractions and its usefulness.
The Supplement, though presented with each number
of THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, will be altogether
distinct from the latter in the nature of its contents ;
and its pages from week to week will be consecu-
tively numbered, so that, with Title-page and Index,
it may be separately bound, at the end of the year,
into a volume complete in itself. It will contain
nothing of what is strictly called News, but its
columns will be devoted to LITERATURE, SCIENCE,
the FINEARTS, DOMESTIC ECONOMY, the FASHIONS,
GARDENING, and kindred subjects, combining amuse-
ment with instruction, so as to form a pleasant and
cheerful companion for the family circle.
The Royal Assent having been given to the Act for
the repeal of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers—on
and after TUESDAY next the price of
THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,
AND SUPPLEMENT,

papers of the day.

SCIENCE AND ART

ASTRONOMERS are on the alert to decide an important
question with respect to Saturn— namely, the collapsing of
its rings. Compared with drawings made 200 years ago, a
considerable difference is
.perceived, as though the rings were
gradually falling in on the body of the planet.
AN AEROLITE.—There is now to be seen in the Museum of
(Economic Geology, in Jermyn•street. London, a part of the
trunk of a willow tree lately felled in Battersea Fields, in the
centre of which was found an aerolite, or meteoric stone, of
very large size, which seems to have fallen on the tree many'
years ago, and to have embedded itself in its substance. It is
a prodigious curiosity, and well worth examination.
STREET INSCRIPTIONS.—A glass painter, W. Grant, is
bringing into use a mode of displaying the names of streets so
that they can be read at night as well as day. The name is
painted and burnt in on a slip of glass, and is suspended to
the upper rim of the street lamps. He has received orders, we
are told. to hang the plates in two of the metropolitan parishes.
—The Builder. • r
NEW KIND OF CoAL.---Zephaniali- Williams, the Newport;
Chartist, who was transported with Frost and'dones, has made
' an accidental discovery of a bed of yellow coal in Van Diemen',
' Land, which bids fair to place him amongst the magnates of
the land. During the searches for mineral a quantity-of yel-
low shale was thrown aside which, being by chance brought
in contact with a lamp, burnt so freely as to be with difficulty
extinguished, and upon examination Las proved to be a very
superior coal. •
A BLIND MUSICAL COMPOSER.-Mr. JOIIICS Taylor. a well-
. known musician, and formerly organist of one of the Itomish
chapels in Norwich, recently died in that city. Mr. Taylor
was born blind, yet was probably one of the most profound
contrapuntists of the day. He was the author of-several ar-
ticles in the Musical Review, and the composer of several
maws, anthems, and glees. He composed in the following
mangler:—He had a board made with five raised rows repre-
senting the stave : in these were holes for the reception of
pegs, the tops of which were cut flat and nicked, and, accord..
ingly as they were turned, represented the nature of the note.
When he compoSed he placed his pegs. and when the board
was full it was copied from his dictation.
HINTS. FOR VENTILATION.—No system of ventilation
is
perfect in which provision is tot made • for the outward flow
of the contaminated air. as well as for the inward flow of
fresh air. It has been seen that this provision is made when
tires are burnt in open (-rates. All plans'that are adopted for
artificially ventilating dwelling-houses" must proceed upon the
prinei ple that the use of the open fire has been introduced
w:a:ottt design. Two oppc,aite- must be let, and al:

MOVEMENT ON THE TCHERNAYA.

KAMARA, June I.—Matters on either front against Sebas-
topol and against the Tchernaya remain much as they were.
It is now a week since the movement in advance was made
from the Balaklava lines, and ever since that day the allied
troops have been arranging and completing their camps in the
new position ; fresh corps and detachments have been drawn
up, but no attempt has been made against the Russian lines
opposed to us. There is no saying how delicious the new
ground we have conquered is—how luxuriant its vegetation—
how bright its flowers—how pure and perfume-laden the air :
and even if the advance is not to be followed up for the present,
we have gained enough by quartering a large part of the army
on healthy soil, and procuring for the cattle a stock of fresh
grass, which is likely to last them at least a month. Whe-
ther or not an advance will be made is a matter of doubt.
The fact is, that the Sardinian, French, and Turkish troops
are entrenching their encampments along the whole line from
Kamara to Inkerman. The Tchernaya and its banks, and the
village of Tchorgoun, are for the present debateable ground,
under the fire of either of the two armies, and therefore less
free to the adventurous spirit of the marauding parties of Zou-
ayes and French light infantry, who, when off duty, either de-
scend to fetch water or bathe, or steal into Tchorgoun to ran-
sack the place for hidden treasures, of which, however, to this
day, none have been found.

CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, JuNa 18.—There was little alteration in the price
of really prime beef to-day, but an increased supply of grass-fed
and of very mixed quality caused a slow sale at very irregular
rates. There was a large increase in the supply of sheep and
lambs, principally the latter, which sold at 2s a head under last
week's prices • whilst we can quote no alteration in the value of
mutton, the demand being very good. 1,302 beasts, 12,860 sheep
and lambs at market.

SALFORD, 'JUNE 13.—A small supply of fat stock; prices
very high for all descriptions; all cold up., Best beef, foid to 7#d;
middling, sid to 6d; cows, 5d to sjd ; best wedders in wool, Id
to nd ; clipped, 6d to 60; ewes, 5d to sid ; lambs, 7d to Bid ;
calves, 5d to bid. Number of beasts, 936; calves, 170; sheep and
lambs, 6,002..
DUBLIN, JUNE 14.—The supply of cattle larger than last
week, but not'of sheep. Prices of beef and mutton were among
the highest we have had yet, and will continue high until relieved
by grass meat. Beef, sinking offal, 53s to 65s ; and for odd beasts,
678 per cwt. Mutton, in skin, 6id to 7#d; in fleece, 7id B#d;
veal, 8d to Sid per lb; Jambs, IBs to 20s to 30s each. Pigs, a
larger supply than expected for the season-50s to 54s per cwt.
asked, but buyers falling off.
