TO THE EDITOR OP THE EIPZEOR.

Sts,—ln your paper of Saturday, under the head-
inn of " Liverpool Financial Reform Association," is the
following paragraph
" Justice and sound polity alike dictate the adop.ion of
every possible meat a of mitigating that artifi.i.l and
exaggerated competition from which both emi lows and
empl fed are now suffering to a lamentable extent en almost
every department of trade."
The Liverpool Association includes mercantile men of well
known talent and importance in their business; sod the
decided part they have taken in favour el econon y and
retrenchment entitles their opinions and recommendstiote
to attention and to weuebt.
As en advocate of tree trade in the fullest set se, I consider
myself called upon " to purchase in tho chertpest and to sell
in the d market;" and I presume the merchants of
Liverpool do the same.
Let me, therefore, request, through your columns, that
the committee of the Ltv rpool Financi►l Reform Amnia.
tion will (Laotian clearly and fully what they mean by the
paragraph I have quoted. It is incumbent on them, if com-
petition be an evil, to show in what way competition, whilst
free trade exists, can be prevented ; or, if it could, whether
the attempt so to prevent competition, would not be the
renewal of monopoly and of restrictions on commerce!?
It behoves a body of mercataile men, like that oeinenittee
of Liverpool, to consider well what they recommend ; and I
request them :estate fully what the means are that they
would or could employ to mitigate competition ? The
public have a right, as I have, to know what they do mesa
by that address to the public. J.

GERMAN HONOURS CONFERRED ON THE DISCIPLE
AND FISIIND OF DA JZSINE/A—CANLJIHAD, DEC. 26, 1850.
—The Emperor of Austria having conferred the Golden
Cron of the. Order ol Civil Merit on the Nestor of Bohemian
physicians, the Coevalier, Jean de Castro, M.D. (horn at
G e , 1770), the friend and apostle of Edward Jenner,
the honour thus bostowed on one of our most distinguished
physicians was publ•cl. celebrated in this place on the 19. h
of December, to the great satisfaction of all its inhabitants.
The friends and colltagurs of the venerable physician assem-
bled at his house, and, preceded by a band of 'rumpete,
conducted him to the place chosen for the decora-
tion, the Cabinet de G.aettea, the house du Mulabad,
where the investment was performed, in presence
of all the authorities of the town, and a numerous assemblage
of the public. The ceremony having ternsioated, the

During the dinner the band of the Regiment de Welden,
consisting of 70 instruments, attended, and executed the
most briliaat pieces of music. The company received with
enthusiasm the touts, all applicable to the occasion.
During the evening a collicuon was made,at the sugoestion of
the restricted chairmen, for some ...r families of the place;
and thus completed, by an act of . nevolence, a celebretieu
remarkable for its unaffected cordiality, and proving how
much the Bohemian appreciate real merit.

several buildlogn in Bedford. From one house in the New
Town nearly the whole of the slates were carried away;
and broken chimney-pots were area scattered about in retry

also blown down. Bedford Times.—On Wednesday
evening this city wea visited by • heavy gale of wind,

off without duieg so much injury to property am
might have been expected. A very serious accident
occurred to a journeyman baker, named Webber;
the unfortunate man was proceeding down B. 'moot,
when the wind blew down a stick of chimneys
from the house of the Rev. J. But, and some of the stones
falling upon his heed guard a concussion of the brain. He
was removed to the (lofted Hospital, where he still lies in a
very dangersus state.—BaaJournal.---Corrwav —A ter-
