PREMISES, No. 51, RA NE LAGH-STREET. which have been expressly fitted up by them for carrying on the BOTTLING TRADE ;
and as they intend to confine themselves exclusively to the ALE and PORTER DEPARTMENT, and also from the peculiar advantage
they possess in the various Markets,—in Edinburgh in particular,—o. selecting Ales of the finest flavour and quality, they confidently
sojcit a trial, being convinced that such as they have now on hand have never been offered in Liverpo. 1 at their Prices.
J. L. and Co. feel assured. in offering their CELEBRATI D SCOTCH ALES to the Public, that they are furnishing a want hitherto
much felt in this neighbourhood, by supplying Ales—the same being Brewed purposely for their Trade, from a pure extract of Malt and
Hop, and possessing a superiority of flavour and quality over any other in use—combined with Low Prices, Lists of which can be had,
and Samples tasted at their Stores, as above.

Tne CABINET.—MI the Ministers are absent from Lon-
don, with the single exception of the Home Secretary, Sir
George Grey. The period of the return of the members
of the Government is at present uncertain, for no sum-
monses have yet been issued for the reassembling of the
Cabinet in town.

MARSHAL RADETZRY.—A letter from Genoa of tht, 20th
says—" Field Marshal Radetzky, in spite of his 91 years,
determined on fulfilling his duty towards his sovereign,
and accordingly went from Verona to Venice, notwith-
standing that the season was very rigorous ; he has now
returned to Verona. He accomplished his journey ,A ithout
sustaining the slightest inconvenience."

We (Atheneum) understand that the subscription list
for a memorial to Sir 11. Bishop, which records contribu-
tions to the amount of 1761. from 3 i 9 contributors, will he
closed on :the last day of this year, and that shortly
afterwards the committee will met to deckle in what
form or fashion of monument the sum will be best applied.

JuLLIEA"S SHILLING PROMENADE CONCERTS

In consequence of the success attending Mons. Jullien's
concerts, we perceive he has announced three more promo.
nade concerts at is each. Notwithstanding this low charge
he will be assisted as before, by the two great artistes
Madame Gassier and Herr Carl Formes, added to which,
the Liverpool public will be gratified by hearing their
townsman, Mr. H. Croft, announced as the new English tenor.

Such an addition to the concert room has been long
wanted, as at present our whole strength rests in the
popular and deserved favourite Mr. Sims Reeves. Report
speaks in the highest terms of Mr. Croft, and it will he
but a mark of pride in the Liverpool public if they honour
him, on the first night ho makes his appearance, with a

bumper. Liverpool has sent forth some first class men as
musicians, composers, pianists, fieutiste, and vocalists, and
to the latter we hope to add one of our greatest, and we
again say we hope an immense concourse of persons will
throng to St. George's Hall—the people's hall—to welcome
their townsman, Mr. Henry Croft. We aro told M•
Jullien intends making his programmes consist chiefly of
works selected from the great masters Mozart, Beethoven'
and Mendelsshon, interspersed with those tit bits of
dance !music which makes the young ladies, great and
small, wish they were indulging in a delightful polka.

By advices from this republic, we learn that the

Mariano Ospina to the Presidency of that Repub
lie Nothing new has transpired relative to the
difficulty with- Great Britain. but the general im-
pression pievails that a British fleet will not carry
out the threatened blockade of New Granadian
ports. The British residents at Bogota, in meeting
assembled on the 17th of October, petitioned their
Government against such a course. The corre
spoudenoe between the Hon. J. B. Bowlin, United
States Minister at Bogota, and Senor Lino de
Pombo, Secretary of State, relative to the tax lately
imposed by the New Granadian Government on
mail matter crossing the isthmus, has been pub

ST. MARK'S CHURCH.

TO TIE EDITOR OF THE NoRTREnN TIMES
Sir,—A pevo occupier of St Mark's Church who's
letter appeared in the NORTHERN TIMES, of Tues
day last, says that the Irish clergy denounce rivd
sects, and all who differ from them in opinion. The
pew occupier is wrong ; the Irish clergy do no such
thing They denounce the, teaching of some other
s .cts, and not men and women of other sects. As
men, women, and children, they love them ; by so
doing, acktioWledge that all are creatures of th-
same God. A Sunday evening or two ago Iby
pleasure of hearing an Irish clergyman
sermon in a certain church in Livern-
that there never was but one '—
the human family are pr-
creation. If all men
its due considerati,
stare of thine
oler

..cat the
preach a
Jol. He sta'ed
,Lea'ion, and that all
.oductions of that one
d.nd women gave to this fact
Jn we should have a very different
... The Irish clergy believe that some
„Ls teach what is not true, and, therefore,

. perfectly right and in order in denouncing such
teaching Suppose Iwis an
,infidel, and b ,lieved in
my slut that I was right? I would be a traitor to the
cause if I did not do all in my power to convince
others that I was right and them wrong—the Irish
clergy do no more They believe that their teaching
is in accordance with the Scrip' tires, and are
perfectly right in doing their ,u most to teach men,
women, and children so. Suppose a poor man came
to my door and asked 'for bread—if it was in my
power to give hiM some I would not ask him
whether he was a Protestant or Catholic, English or
Irish, but would at once perceive that he was the
production spoken of by the rev. gen.tlemin in ques-
tion; I am satisfied the Irish c'ergy would do the
same.—Yonrs, A POOR WELSHMAN.

CUBA.

We have advices from Havannah to the 10th
inst., from which we learn that a very delicate
question of law—the issue of which may seriously
affect the peace of the island—had arisen between
the slave owners and their slaves, as to the real
value of a man wishing to free himself by the
payment of " head money" in instalments. The
wage is that the value is fixed by arbitration,
before the first payment, and when so fixed is to
remain undisturbed by any fluctuations of price in
the market. The owners now wish to break
through this custom and demand the value ruling
in the market when the last instalment is due.
The judges will have to decide the case, and it is
thought that if the interest of the slave suffer, some
bad consequenc s may ensue. The - value of
Chinese coolies had gone up
.from 102 dols to 276
dots in five years, and four hundred and seventy-
three were landed at Chucas lately. The con-
tractors were about to put screw steamers on for
the trade. The reported loss of the Lyonnais had
caused great excitement, owing to the fact of Senor
Eulate, his wife, and Senor Diaz Comas having
been on board. It is said that General Concha
had positively forwarded his resignation of office
to Madrid. The Afiicanisation scheme was again
mooted. Max Maretzek and the La Grange troupe
were looked for impatiently.
The Havanna correspondent of the New York
Couri4r and Enquirer thus writes upon the topics
of the day :
, "A joint stock company is understood to have been
formed, for the purpose of extracting
,an oil from a spoies
of soap stene, said to be found in large quantities at a
distant part of the Island. I believe that I may, with con
fidence, assure you, that the Captain General has sent to
the Spanish Ministry his resignation of the exalted position
which be now occupies here. The African Slave Trade
appears to prosper, despite all the efforts made to check it.
Scarcely a week elapses that we do not hear of. Africans
having been landed in some one or other part of the
island. Another contract is reported to have been entered
into by a commercial house of this city, to bring I know
not how many thousands of Chinese from China to this
Island: Some of that class of persons who have ben here
a year or two, have- amassed quite considerable sums of
money, and, I believe, their masters, peihaps from fear of
causing the Chinese to revolt, are now treating them with
much greater humanity and kindness than was formerly
practised towards them. The Spanish ship Hemigiante
arrived yesterday from China, with 320 Chinese unfortu-
nates, doomed to life-long slavery."
