IMPROVEJ4A T
_IN.9.ENTLEMEN'S HATS.

• TITHEDARN-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN --I have given your Patent Easy-fitting hat a
fair trial, and I must say it is the most comfortable hat I ever
wore, particularly whenrcrossing the water in a windy day,.
when with the old style of hat I invariably liad a headache,
which with your new style is not the case. I can, therefore,
safely recommend it to any one, particularly to those subject
to headache.—l am, gentlemen, yours truly.

I have worn for some time one of the Patented Easy-fitting
Hats sold by Mr. —, and t can testify to the adVantage
derived ffom the Asence of that Unpleasant pressure, partied-
larly on tie forehead; usually felt froth the hats generally worn.

OLD POBTOFFICE-lIIJILDING§,

LIVERPOOL;

THE PRINCE OF WALES.

. .
Good bye; Wales; give our love to your mother !
Good bye; be virtuous and you will be happy. You
hav'e, seen some very. sensible men in this country,
Albert Edward, and you must remember them; you
have Sen nearly all of our snobs and lick-spittles, and
you will not kethember them. Nobody, besides such,
expects you will. Yon have heard that tune " God
Save the Queen" a great many times, Renfrew, but you
have persistently whistled Dixie's Land." You have
been very much squeezed, Albert Edward, and it will
be good for you.-. You have been rubbed against, and
it will make you bright. A great many stories have
been told about you, Mr. Wales, some of which arc
true and some false. You have worn very good clothes,
but not a handsome hat. You have ridden about with
some very good horses, and you have received some of
our choicest variety of mud turtles to take home. You
have visited institutions which you didn't care a snap
about, and you have danced with some of the best
dressed old ladies in America. You like to dance, but
you don't dance the Lancers very well. Still you are
a pretty clever fellow. If you lived in this country you
would stand a chance to be ruined, Albert Edward.
You Would certainly join a fire company, and then
you would be sent to the (Ammon Council, and then
you might be elected to CongresS, and you would lose
your self-respect; and yoti would be done. Reporters
haVe bothered you very much you say', Albert Edward.
They have bribed your chamber maids and bought up
Men' of your suite: toil have been a goaerid in the
way of " Albert tdward ; and in behalf of the
reporters of Boston I bid you an affectionate farewell.
" Ich Dien" is played out on this side, Albert Edward,
and you have taken home something of "E Pluribus
Unum." One thing to your credit, Albert Edward,
you have paid your bills with remarkable promptness,
and you have done your tour in good shape. You seem
to have any quantity of money, and you pat it out
freely. Yes, sirrec—so freely, that some think you
must have dealings with the Butterman. You have
been "going it," and now you may go—on these
terms : send along Kelly per next steamer.---Boston
Herald (improved).

NEWS OF THE DAY.

It is stated that the prolongation of the stay of the
French army of occupation in Syria will not take place
without the acquiescence of the other European Powers,
and without the approval of another Conference at Paris ;
but all, We may venture to add, will depend on air-
cutristantes:
'the circular of At. de Persigny, to the Prench Pre-
fects of the Departments, is Very acceptable to the
independent portion of the Paris press; and the Pcitrie
is certain that it is not deceived in saying that the docu-
ment is " destined to produce a Considerable effect
his circular is more than a plan of conduct for the
functionaries to whom it is addressed—it is quite a pro-
gramme of home policy, which the entire country will
welcome, with all the more satisfaction seeing that it so
thoroughly corresponds with the views and liberal in-
tentions of the Emperor."
Another protest from Francis 11., signed by his
Foreign Minister, which emanated from Gaeta on the
12th of last month, has just been made public. Its
chief. feature is the allusion to the tCnduct of the
Emperor or the l'renoli, whO alone "gave the magna-
nimous example of a desire to withdraw from the uni-
versal apathy," for which he was reproached by
England, whilst the other Cabinets stood by, and
allowed him to ditplay his magnanimity single-handed.
It is gratifying to observe that the writer of the despatch
fully recognised so far back as its date, the necessity of
the speedy fall of the King.
Marshal O'Donnell has been fired at, and wounded,
by an assassin.
Sortie . Pairiftil Partientaii regarding the shocking
mnider in a railway carriage, on Wednesday. night, of
the President of the Imperial Court of France, will be
found in our Paris letter.
The French Funds are unusually high at present.
The Moniteur de la .F7otte says that the general sys-
tem of the defence of the French coasts is to be com-
pleted by cutting down the old sailing ships and plating
them. The coasts of Brittany and Normandy ate much
exposed to the danger of a c.duj delnain, which, though
not probable, is at least possible, owing to the speed of
steatii§hips.

Thd fails bdik eslidndtfit di; the tinsel meritidns, as an
on slit, that the formation. of a fluvih battalion for each
regiment of infantry will add 400000 men to the French
army. A Royal warrant, addressed to the whole army,
refers to the case of officers promoted for service in the
field, who are to be eiempt from the donditiots of the
Royal warrant of October, 18Ag.
fluxing Mr. Bright's recent visit to Paris, he and Mr.
Cobden had an interview with the Emperor. Mr. Cob-
den is itholit td proceed to Algiers, dnd will return to
England in time for the opening of the Parliamentary
session.

The vessel that picked up the crew of the burning
ship Ndttingham Was the Islander, which reached
Torbay on Wednesday. The loss will fall on Lloyd's,
where vessel and cargo were insured.
If the French Government should consent to subsidise
a line of steamers between Galway and a French port,
the vessels of the Angloz,Braiilian Steam Company,
which is now being wound up, will probably be taken
up for the Galway line.
The Stibtilaririe Telegraph Conipany have made
aiiingenients With the French Government for tele-
grams from India, China, and Australia, to be despatched
from Marseilles immediately on the arrival of the
steamers in that porti instead of first passing through
the Post-offlce.
After considerable delay and uncertainty as to the course
which would be finally taken by the Sardinian goi;ein-
ment with regard to the disposal of the British. Legion,
it is at length arranged that the disbandment is to take
place. Orders were receiied on the 25th ultimo from
Raples for the discharges to be made out iiitliotit further
delay. Each man will receive six months' pay, including
rations, and a free passage home.
Among the thousand rumours afloat in Venetia, there
is one to the effect that the crown of Hungary has been
offered to Pride Napoleon by Kossuth and the Hunga-
rian committee dt

Letters from Adrianople report the Otoiiiteiide of a
nesperate ngnL ou the fete nay of 6t. Demetrius (the 7tti
ult.), in_ the Greek church of that city, between the
orthodox Greeks and the Bulgarians. The latter got
the best of it, and turned their opponents out of the
eliiirbb; after kiiink theta, it is said; such a drubbing as
had not occurred in Adrianople -within the Memory of
its oldest priest.

On Thursday morning, as a goods train from Carlisle
toWards the south was passing over the North Union
itaii*dy, it into by a coal train from the
Springs branch, situated about a mile and a half south
of Wigan. The Sprints branch is a line from the to
Hall Colliery. The driver of the Carlisle train seeing
the signal at the junction indicating that he was to
come on, did not slacken speed. When the coal train
Caine iipbii the lint it *as ton late to avoid a collision,
and the driver and stoker of the goods train both jumped
off their engine. The driver, however, sustained a
fracture of two fingers. The engine was turned round
and upset; so as to block up both tracks of the main
lines The traffic on kith was stopped for about five
hours. None of the men on the Coal train *ere injured,
but several waggons in both trains were shattered to
pieces.

The commercial panic in America which has sprung
ont.of Mr. Lincoln's election does not appear to have
Originated iii piirely tomniercial causes. The charac-
teristic of the Pheildnitint in the thief towns of the
United. States is -the suddenness-4 Of their appearance.
One day inoney is "plentiful." A particular party
tritiniphs, a particular man is chosen, and money is
stl/4reb. ProdtiCd abounds; the ddiriand for it is not
Oiminished ; bat the machinery of biisitiess is hampered
by a political panic, and forthwith in some places stops
altogether. From various quarters we hear that " the
banks are strong ; " neferthelessi the banks suspend
specie payments, and . the banks 'Of New York
are compelled to resort to co-operative measures
to totintetact the effects of a sudden political ex-
citement, It is positively stated that nothing of a
bomnierbial kind has OCeiirred to depreciate the value of
securities. Yet securities fall in value. Thus, with
what the New York newspapers call the balance of
trade in their favour, with no large disturbing causes
at trork in the Stock and Share Market springing out
of the condition of stocks and shares, it seems reason-
able to refer the panic almost exclusively to political
influences.

The recent heavy imports of cotton into Liverpool
have swelled the stocks to a considerable extent, and on
reference to the late advices from America we learn that
there are 2t ships bound from New Orleans to Liverpool
with 91,090 bales of cotton on board; from Mobile
there are 11 ships with 22,713 bales ; from Charleston
there are 6 ships with 16,083 bales; from Savannah
there are 8 ships with 13,832 bales; from Pkiladelphia
one ship with 136 bales ; from Galveston 2 ships with
3,509 bales ; from New York there are 15 ships with
8,302 bales on board. The advices from Bombay give
15 ships for 1 iverpool with 45,887 bales. Total from
America and India, 200,552 bales.
